I turned out to be top-notch!

Hou Xiao is forty-two years old this year. Although he is not good-looking now, he was very handsome when he was young and had good acting skills. He was a rising star in the film industry at that time, and Hou Xiao also has a beautiful circle Girlfriend, the two fell in love with each other during work, and later even reached the point of discussing marriage.

But before the two decided to get engaged, they regretfully parted ways because their girlfriend took on an art film funded by Tianmang despite Hou Xiao's objections.

The investment in that movie exceeded 100 million, and it assembled a top cast of that era. The director also won many awards at home and abroad. Unfortunately, it was later classified as a banned film by the authorities due to content restrictions, so it could only be hastily released overseas.

Almost half of the actors who participated in the filming of the film were banned. Among them, the girlfriend who had a nude scene in the film was also included in the banned list.

After my girlfriend was banned from the country, she experienced ridicule and ridicule from netizens. Finally, due to a mental breakdown, she jumped from a tall building and became a grain of sand in the world of film history.

Because of this incident, Hou Xiao had a different kind of prejudice against Tianmang, and even revealed a sense of hatred. Not only did he publicly express his anger at Tianmang Media many times, but he also reported various stains about Tianmang Media to the superiors. Although in the end It was not successful, but it still caused interference to Tianmang.

Since then, Hou Xiao's career has been in rapid decline. Sometimes he can't get a movie in a year. Even if he does, it is a supporting role with few lines. Later, he is in a state of retirement, using All the savings were spent on a hilltop in my hometown of southern Yunnan Province, where I planted coffee trees and tea leaves, but the business was not prosperous. In the past two years, I switched to mushroom cultivation, and the business has improved a bit.

However, compared with when he was in the entertainment industry, where he could earn tens of millions for a single film, farming could not make him rich.

Now, twenty years have passed, the past is like smoke, and time has sharpened Hou Xiao's edges. Now Hou Xiao comes out again, and he was invited by Chen Daozhou not long ago to participate in "Celebrating More Than Years", playing a very important role in the play. The role of "Wang Qinian".

Hou Xiao firmly grasped this opportunity when he got it, and did not dare to let up at all. In half a year, he studied the entire novel and script of "Qing Yu Nian", and his understanding of the plot and characters is even more advanced than that of a senior book fan.

Especially after learning about the cast of the film, he vowed to seize this opportunity and shine in his forties.

Hou Xiao is not worried that he will be suppressed by Tianmang again. After all, he was personally invited by his senior Chen Daozhou. In addition, he also understands the grievances between the crew chief Zhou Dingran and Tianmang very clearly. He and Tianmang It’s not easy to deal with them, and it’s probably too late to welcome yourself.

And it was exactly what he thought.

So after giving mushrooms to the crew members one by one, Hou Xiao let out a long sigh of relief and smiled as he watched Zhou Dingran, Wang He and others leave.

On the other side, after Zhou Dingran participated in the launch conference of "Celebrating More Than Years", he chatted with Chen Daozhou, Tao Chunsheng and others for a while, and then left in a hurry.

Today is the start time, but there is no role for Zhou Dingran. The plot starts with Fan Xian as a child, so Zhou Dingran is left with two weeks of free time to keep him busy with the release of his new album.

The first and second title songs of the new album have been released. In three days, the new album will be released. The popularity of "Qili Xiang" and "Fairy Tale" has made all music industry practitioners stunned. It was like riding a rocket. The speed has amazed countless people. Even in the most glorious period of the Chinese music scene more than ten or twenty years ago, it was very rare for a song to become so popular in a short period of time.

Under this situation, all outside parties are very optimistic about the new album "Qilixiang". Among the number of people who have pre-ordered the new album on Haijiao.com, the number of pre-order users for the new album "Qilixiang" has exceeded 700 million, making it the most popular album in the history of the platform. Whoever reaches this number of pre-orders the fastest.

This is more than the number of pre-orders for Zhou Dingran's first new album, which is enough to prove the excellence of this new album.

In comparison, the number of pre-orders for Pu Lanyu's new album has just exceeded 3 million.

The number of pre-orders for Kim Sung-mi's new album is also around three to four million.

And as time goes by, the number of pre-orders for the album "Qili Xiang" is still increasing, and it is expected to exceed 10 million before the new album is released.

Therefore, Zhou Dingran’s current focus of work is on the announcement of the new album. Not only does he continue to countdown to promote it on his personal Douyin and Weibo, but Zhou Dingran also promoted it on Beijing TV, Donghai TV and Zhejiang TV, accepting and Participated in their interviews and variety shows.

These programs will be broadcast one after another in the next few days, which is very beneficial to the promotion of the new album.

Everyone can see the importance Zhou Dingran attaches to this new album, because even when the first new album was released, Zhou Dingran had never promoted it so hard.

Therefore, all social platforms including Douyin, Weibo, and Haijiao.com have promoted Zhou Dingran’s announcement. Among them, Haijiao.com continues to leave recommendations on the homepage every day, so that all people who open Haijiao Users of the APP can learn the news of Zhou Dingran’s new album at the first time.

Douyin even promoted Zhou Dingran. The first video many users saw when they opened Douyin was from Zhou Dingran.

Seeing that Zhou Dingran's new album was about to be released, Wang Sheng called and invited Zhou Dingran to arrive at Donghai International Cinemas tomorrow afternoon to participate in the premiere of the movie "Young You".

This was something that was promised last week and was also on the work schedule, because Zhou Dingran arrived at Donghai International Cinema the next afternoon.

As the main creative director Wang Sheng, as well as the heroine Cha Duo and the supporting actor Yao Yuan have all arrived at the scene.

The invited audience, fans, and many film critics also arrived one by one. When Zhou Dingran appeared at the entrance of the screening hall, many people in the audience stood up and cheered and applauded.

Under the leadership of the staff, Zhou Dingran smiled and waved to the audience, smiled and shook hands with the directors and producers sitting in the front row, and then quickly went to his seat.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Cha Duo next to me smiling and saying, "You came on time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the screening room dimmed and the movie started to show.

Zhou Dingran looked at the big screen and replied in a low voice: "I almost didn't come in."

What he said was not without purpose, because the news was public, so hundreds of fans had already surrounded the underground parking lot of the movie theater. He was trapped for more than ten minutes. If the security guards hadn't been dispatched, he might still be underground now. Stay in the parking lot.

Chado smiled when he heard this and signaled: "Let's watch the movie. I hope that after tonight, the reputation will be great."

Zhou Dingran nodded and said: "It will explode."

He sincerely believed that this movie would be a hit, with good box office and word-of-mouth success. After all, the achievements of this movie in its previous life were still vivid in his mind.

Yi Yang Qianxi won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer with this movie. As his first movie, Zhou Dingran felt that his acting skills and popularity were no worse than Yi Yang Qianxi's.

On the big screen, soon after the names of the film's distributor and main creative staff appeared, the movie screening began.

The first thing that appeared was a line of silent subtitles.

"Campus bullying is a common phenomenon all over the world. Teachers and schools are the front line of resistance, while parents, public security agencies and even society form the backing to protect campus safety." "We hope that this film will bring together people to resist campus bullying. Strength, stretch out your hands and mine to protect the light and hope."

When the silent subtitles faded, the image began to play.

The heroine Chen Nian, played by Cha Duo, is standing on the podium, as an English teacher, teaching the young girls in the audience how to read short English sentences.

The students were actively reading along, but the English teacher on the stage was reading, and his eyes noticed a little girl sitting in the corner of the back row with her head bowed and sobbing softly.

Chen Nian looked at her with a trace of trance in his eyes.

As soon as the screen turned, the timeline came to a middle school campus many years ago. The campus was crowded with people, and countless students were working hard for the upcoming college entrance examination.

In the classroom, students are actively reading aloud and embracing self-study classes, and the blackboard in the back clearly states that there are sixty days left until the college entrance examination countdown.

In the screening hall, many viewers couldn't help but smile when they saw this familiar scene in their memories.

The film critics thought of the silent subtitles at the beginning, and then looked at the current scene, and instantly realized something, and they held their breath for a moment.

"Is it bullying on campus?"

Many people murmured to themselves.

Sure enough, in the subsequent scene, Chen Nian's friend and classmate Hu Xiaodie finally suffered a mental breakdown due to long-term campus violence and chose to jump off the building to say goodbye.

Chen Nian witnessed all this and was also under great pressure. In front of all the teachers and students in the school, Chen Nian took off his school uniform jacket and covered Hu Xiaodie's body.

Because of this move, the bully Wei Lai set Chen Nian as the next target to be bullied.

So Chen Nian became a new target of bullying. During school, after school, and at school, Wei Lai and others would find various reasons to cause trouble for Chen Nian. Chen Nian could not bear the trouble, but in order to escape poverty and pass the exam, he Despite the bad family environment, she always gritted her teeth and endured, deciding that after passing the college entrance examination, she would escape from this place of right and wrong and never come back.

But Chen Nian didn’t know whether he could survive the remaining two months. Against this background, Xiaobei, played by Zhou Dingran, broke into Chen Nian’s life and used his own way to protect Grandma Chen from further of infringement.

Unlike Chen Nian, who is introverted, excels in studies, and aims to be admitted to Beijing University, Xiaobei is a young gangster who was abandoned by his mother and lives on the streets.

He has no future and no hope and can only survive by fighting and doing dangerous things.

During a street fight, Xiaobei accidentally hurt Chen Nian, a girl passing by. Especially after learning about Chen Nian's plight, Xiaobei decided to help Chen Nian, become her guardian, and face school bullying together.

Because of Xiaobei's help, Chen Nian's life was no longer bad and embarrassing. However, such days did not last long. Once, Wei Lai took advantage of Xiaobei being imprisoned in the detention center for a fight and led a group of people to attack Chen Nian. suffered horrific persecution.

He cut his hair, beat him, took photos, and threatened Chen Nian with the photos. After he was accidentally photographed and exposed by passers-by, this incident caused an uproar on the Internet.

The school decided to expel Wei Lai and other bullies. In order to redeem himself, Wei Lai found Grandma Chen and apologized falsely and asked for forgiveness. But at this time, Chen Nian was extremely angry and the past events came to mind, so he pushed her casually. It eventually led to a catastrophe, and the domineering bully Wei Lai eventually fell down the stairs and died.

After learning about this, Xiaobei decided to shoulder all this for Chen Nian.

He borrowed a taxi to help Chen Nian destroy the body and eliminate traces of it. However, it rained heavily on the eve of the college entrance examination. The criminal investigation team discovered Wei Lai's body and quickly found Chen Nian.

In order to help Chen Nian clear away the suspicion, Xiaobei fabricated a lie and took the responsibility of being considered a "murderer".

In order to make the police believe that he killed Hu Xiaodie, Xiaobei pretended to be a rapist who wanted to commit violence against Chen Nian.

Although Xiaobei's forged evidence seems to be perfect, it still did not escape the eyes of Officer Zheng, played by Yao Yuan.

Officer Zheng had already seen through everything. In order to persuade Chen Nian to plead guilty, he persuaded Chen Nian to commit manslaughter and Xiao Bei to hide the body. Since both of them were minors, they would be given a lighter sentence.

At this point, the film roughly ends.

At the end of the story, many years later, Chen Nian became an English teacher, while Xiaobei still silently protected her from behind.

The two-hour movie goes by in a blink of an eye.

The audience at the scene was still immersed in the story and slowly savoring it. The film critics at the scene were all thoughtful, and some looked excited.

"Exceeded expectations, exceeded expectations. This movie will definitely exceed many people's expectations!"

"Cha Duo is a double-acting actress, so it's normal for her to have strong acting skills, but I didn't expect Zhou Dingran's acting skills to be so strong!"

"It's so outrageous. Zhou Dingran not only sings well, but his acting skills are also so great. He is comparable to some Best Actor award winners!"

"This is a movie! Not a TV series! Zhou Dingran's acting skills are so natural and natural, amazing! Amazing!"

"Many people have filmed such a sensitive subject, but nothing can compare with "Young You"! Wang Sheng is really good at shooting realistic subjects!"

"The scene where the two shaved their heads shocked me. There was no ambiguity between boys and girls in their eyes, only perseverance and unwillingness to admit defeat!"

"There is no doubt that this is an excellent movie. Even when the male and female protagonists grow up in adversity, they can maintain their tenacity and unyielding spirit. At the same time, it also reveals the deep impact of school violence and social problems. This is not just a movie. A movie about youth, it also profoundly reflects the complexity of real society and profoundly depicts human nature!"

The film critics were so excited and inexplicable that they wrote down their first feelings after watching the movie in their notebooks. When they were ready to go back, they edited it into a film review and published it immediately, giving the fans who had been waiting for a long time a feast of film reviews. (End of chapter)
