The movie "Music Jianghu" tells the story of a group of graduates from a music academy, born in the 1980s, as they navigate their lives and emotional experiences after leaving campus while persistently pursuing their musical dreams. Several good friends from the music academy, Chen Hao, Zhou Mengmeng, Gu Li, and Ganzi, stepped into the world of music with dreams in their hearts. Gu Li manages his own band to perform everywhere, while Chen Hao, having failed to land a job despite submitting countless resumes, resorts to looking for work in bars, but they’re already taken. With no other options, Chen Hao ends up singing on a pedestrian bridge to earn rent and living expenses. Zhou Mengmeng's singing catches the attention of a company called Taoyuan Cultural, leaving a note for Chen Hao before disappearing… Wang Jingjing, a bar singer at the Hai Shang Paofoam bar, passes by the pedestrian bridge every day and listens to Chen Hao play his last original guitar piece, dropping ten yuan before leaving. After losing contact with Mengmeng, Chen Hao goes to the Hai Shang Paofoam bar every night to drink beer and eventually realizes that Wang Jingjing is the girl in a long dress who listens to him play guitar. They gradually become familiar, and Jingjing introduces Chen Hao to sing at Hai Shang Paofoam, helping him slowly emerge from Mengmeng's shadow… Under the threat of Mr. Han from Taoyuan Cultural, Mengmeng becomes his lover and texts Chen Hao to break up. During a practice session, Mengmeng is mocked by her teammates for being on her boss's bed, being called cheap and disgusting, which she can no longer bear, leading her to attempt suicide by wrist-cutting, ultimately saved by Mr. Han. Gu Li's band, the "Foolish People," catches the attention of a Chinese-American girl named Mina, who falls in love with Gu Li and follows him from the U.S. to China, wanting to marry him. Their senior Ganzi becomes a manager and lands a major gig to host a cultural exchange event. Ganzi invites Gu Li and Chen Hao to participate. During the event, Chen Hao sees Mengmeng walking past with Mr. Han, and his heart aches. Chen Hao runs home, and Gu Li brings Mengmeng to Chen Hao's place, demanding an explanation. Mengmeng claims she has always loved Chen Hao, but Mr. Han threatens her that if she disagrees, she will be cast aside for ten years without work. Chen Hao, agitated, asks why this is happening. Mengmeng receives a call from Mr. Han urging her to return quickly and wants to give Chen Hao a last kiss, but she's interrupted by Jingjing, who sorrowfully leaves. Chen Hao abandons Mengmeng to chase after Jingjing… The bar owner gives Chen Hao a diary, which records all the stories of Jingjing meeting Chen Hao. Realizing the truth, Chen Hao runs out of the bar to find Jingjing by the sea. Jingjing vows that if he doesn’t come to find her again, she'll turn into foam on the sea and be with a mermaid. Chen Hao playfully responds that before becoming a mermaid, she might turn into a stone waiting for her husband on the shore. Jingjing laughs through her tears, and the two reconcile. Jingjing excitedly brings a newspaper to show Chen Hao, featuring an original singer competition where Mengmeng is the image ambassador. Jingjing feels a bit down, but Chen Hao encourages her to participate. During the auditions, Jingjing advances directly to the finals, and they happily embrace. Jingjing decides to use the guitar piece Chen Hao played on the pedestrian bridge and adds lyrics to it for the finals, which Chen Hao believes is a great idea and helps her practice. After the competition, Mengmeng secures first place while Jingjing comes in second. Jingjing and Chen Hao embrace, with Mengmeng’s eyes filled with jealousy… That evening, Mengmeng is mistreated by Mr. Han and escapes, calling Chen Hao, who brings her back home. The next morning, Jingjing arrives, excited to meet Chen Hao and discuss a contract with the record company. However, upon entering, she sees Mengmeng sleeping in bed and is heartbroken, accusing Chen Hao of being a cheater, and runs away. Mengmeng chases after her and witnesses Jingjing get hit by a speeding van. Chen Hao arrives, lifts the bloodied Jingjing, and forces Mengmeng aside to rush her to the hospital. In the hospital, Chen Hao begs the doctor, who tells him Jingjing has a ruptured liver and spleen that cannot be repaired… Chen Hao goes insane, offering his own liver and spleen to save her… Jingjing's last request is to be taken to the sea, saying that her final resting place is there, as she is finally going to be with a mermaid. Gu Li drives Mina's car to take them to the sea, and the two sing a song they composed together. Jingjing closes her eyes, and Chen Hao's lonely singing echoes across the sea and sky… Mina's mother arrives from the U.S. to take Mina back, and Mina reluctantly agrees to go with her mother. At the airport farewell, she secretly tells Gu Li, “I will come back to find you.” They bid a tearful goodbye. Gu Li, watching Mina and her mother fade away, feels a pang in his heart and tells Chen Hao and Mengmeng that he has realized he really likes her… Mina's father financially supports them to release an album, and Mengmeng becomes a volunteer, frequently visiting kindergartens and nursing homes to teach them singing…
