曾经创下韩国独立电影最高观影人次纪录的纪录片《牛铃之声》的导演李忠烈时隔八年再执导筒，其将于安圣基、李贞贤共同创作一部聚焦韩国无形文化遗产的剧情片《蝉鸣》。

　　《蝉鸣》讲述了全罗南道珍岛上的“多侍乐”表演者们身上发生的故事。“多侍乐”发源于全罗南道珍岛，指的是出丧前一天晚上在丧者家中进行的表达哀伤、给予生者抚慰的歌舞活动，1985年被列为韩国国家第81号无形文化遗产。安圣基将在片中饰演一位“多侍乐”表演者，李贞贤将饰演安圣基的女儿。

　　《蝉鸣》的剧本创作已全部完成，因为影片背景设定在春天，所以要等到明年3月再开机。安圣基此前曾在六月的一次专访中表达了对该片的期待之情，“我要说全罗道方言，还要唱歌，要做许多准备。这应该是一部用质量说话的电影。”
