The straight man in the entertainment circle

July 31, 18:00.

Kyoto Fenghua Cinema.

"Xia Yun, is this the first time you have watched "Young You"?"

"What's wrong? You should watch a good movie more than once."

"The movie is good, but you don't need to watch it three times. You still ask me to watch it with you every time."

"I see you are very happy with it. Besides, what's the matter with three times? I also want to watch the movie twice before it is released! There are so many details in this movie, you have to watch it a few times to understand it."

Wang Mengmeng, who was next to Xia Yun, was holding a large bucket of popcorn in both hands and rolled her eyes at her: "You have told me many of these details, and I know them all."

Xia Yun smiled and said: "That's all from the past. Let me tell you, after I watched it last time, I discovered a few details. When Hu Xiaodie jumped off the building, wasn't Chen Nian listening to English listening, so I paid attention. , the English word in it is actually: This is a cruel world where the weak eat the strong! Look, it looks like the world in the movie!"

Wang Mengmeng nodded: "I really didn't pay attention."

"Also, do you know what Chen Nian's college entrance examination score was?"

Wang Mengmeng thought for a while and said: "It seems to be very high, more than 680."

"683!" Xia Yun said.

Wang Mengmeng said blankly: "Well, what does this mean?"

"What's Xiaobei's name?"

"Liu Beishan..." Wang Mengmeng said, suddenly her face was startled, "683 is homophonic to Liu Beishan!"

"Yes, it's awesome!" Xia Yun said.

Wang Mengmeng nodded in agreement and said, "It's really impressive when you think about it. Lin Li is really good at details."

Xia Yun said proudly: "That's natural, so I say you should watch this movie several times."

Seeing Xia Yun's serious face, Wang Mengmeng couldn't help but hit her, and said with a smile: "I know one detail, you can't figure it out even if you watch it a hundred times."

Xia Yun was stunned and asked curiously: "What details?"

"Xiao Bei was caught playing games in an Internet cafe, so he failed to protect Chen Nian that night, right?"

"right."

"Then do you know what game Xiaobei is playing?"

Xia Yun shook her head, and Wang Mengmeng said proudly: "The game he plays is called "Guard", which is very popular, and the character Xiaobei plays is called Wesco Will. His most famous line in the game is: Sacrifice yourself for the one you love!"

Xia Yun exclaimed: "Wow, this is Xiaobei himself. I really wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't tell me."

"Haha, Lin Li is also a game master, known as the game devil. This thing is nothing, it's just that we don't play games." Wang Mengmeng said.

Xia Yun asked curiously: "Then how did you find out?"

Wang Mengmeng said: "I also heard what the male classmates in our class said, but I also admire you. You can see so many details after watching a movie. I remember that you used to hate these idol stars."

"Lin Li is not an idol, Ming... no... he looks like an idol, but he relies on his strength!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you like this, you are almost becoming a royal guard."

"I don't, I just like this movie." Xia Yun said inconsistently.

Wang Mengmeng smiled and said: "In movies, good girls like you will be attracted to the kind of gangsters played by Lin Li in movies, and Lin Li is also an unconventional person in the entertainment industry. You said you like movies so much." After reading it a few times, I think it’s all an excuse, you just went for Lin Li’s face.”

"Nonsense!"

Xia Yun angrily pinched the fat on Wang Mengmeng's waist. Wang Mengmeng chuckled and said, "No more fuss, it's time to start, let's go in!"

Xia Yun then stopped and followed Wang Mengmeng in line to check in tickets.

"There are so many people in the theater today!"

"Yeah, there weren't so many people here the last few times we came."

"It's okay, we are in a good location!"

The two checked their tickets and walked to Hall 3. Xia Yun was already familiar with the locations of each screening room inside, and she and Wang Mengmeng quickly walked to Hall 3.

There were already about a hundred people sitting in the theater. Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng were seated in rows 7, 10, and 11. When they found row 7, Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng walked inside.

Row 7 is considered a better seat in Hall 3, so there are many people sitting there.

Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng walked in and nodded to everyone who passed by to express their apologies.

When Xia Yun passed by seat 9, she noticed that the girl wearing a mask in seat 9 looked familiar. After she sat down, she couldn't help but look at her again.

The girl in seat 9 turned her head and looked over. Her beautiful eyes turned into crescents. It was obvious that she was smiling at herself.

Xia Yun smiled politely, but she still didn't dare to recognize him, after all, the man was wearing a mask.

Wang Mengmeng touched Xia Yun and said, "What's wrong? Do you know her?"

"Ah, I don't know her, but...she seems to be an anchor..." Xia Yun whispered.

"Anchor? When did you get this hobby?" Wang Mengmeng said with a smile.

Xia Yun whispered: "It's the anchor Ayu who has been broadcasting Lin Li live. I have only watched it a few times."

Wang Mengmeng said "Oh" and looked towards seat 9, but she only saw a side face, not even the nose or mouth.

"Probably not. Ayu must have watched the movie many times. Why are you still watching it?"

"Well, it's probably just a person whose eyes resemble Ayu's," Xia Yun said.

At this time, the theater lights dimmed, Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng stopped talking and began to watch the movie with peace of mind.

…………

This was not the first time for Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng to watch "Better Days". They already knew the plot very well, so this time they watched more of the hidden details and... Lin Li's face.

Although they watched it many times, Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng still shed tears when they saw the farewell kiss between Xiaobei and Chen Nian at the end.

They saw that many girls in the front rows were wiping tears.

"I've read it many times and I'm still very moved!" Xia Yun whispered with choked sobs.

After the nearly two-hour main film was played, the cast list and some behind-the-scenes footage began to play. People watching it for the first time would naturally not want to miss it.

However, Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng have both watched it several times, so naturally they don't pay that much attention to the extras.

Wang Mengmeng pulled Xia Yun and said, "What did you discover this time?"

Xia Yun was obviously also interested and said: "Yes, before Chen Nian met Xiaobei, didn't he always feel like someone was following him? When he went home, he looked behind him for a long time. That lens was through It’s very far away, as if I’m peeping.”

Wang Mengmeng said: "Isn't Chen Nian afraid of Wei Lai and the others?"

"I thought so at first, but it seems not so now. Do you remember that when Chen Nian was bullied by Wei Lai and the others on the way home for the first time, he had a strange perspective, which was in the corridor in the distance."

Wang Mengmeng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Now it seems that this perspective should be Xiaobei's. In other words, before Chen Nian and Xiaobei met, Xiaobei actually followed her!" Xia Yun said.

Wang Mengmeng said: "No, you think too much."

Xia Yun said anxiously: "No, there is really a foreshadowing. Didn't Chen Nian's mother, the character played by Li Tong, run away to hide from debts? Then Xiaobei also helped people collect debts to make a living. There is a scene in the movie where he It’s not like I told their boss that I couldn’t collect the debt, and then the younger brother next to him kept laughing. That younger brother has such a good relationship with him and they fight together, how could he be gloating about his misfortune.”

Wang Mengmeng thought thoughtfully and said, "What you said makes sense. What you mean is that Lin Li actually wanted to pursue Chen Nian's mother's debt. After Chen Nian's mother ran away, he started to have Chen Nian's idea, but It happened that Chen Nian saved him once, so he didn't attack Chen Nian and gave up collecting debts, and his little brother also knew about it, so he laughed? "

"Yes, that makes sense!" Xia Yun said.

Wang Mengmeng thought for a while and said, "Indeed... the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Oh, tell me about these movies. Why should such things be hidden so deeply? Wouldn't it be more touching if they were shot directly?"

"This is what makes it worth watching several times. Classic movies have different feelings every time you watch them."

At this time, the movie highlights had finished playing, and the lights in the theater came on.

"That is nice!"

Just when Wang Mengmeng and Xia Yun finished speaking and were about to stand up and leave, the girl in seat 9 next to them suddenly said this.

Wang Mengmeng and Xia Yun were both stunned and turned to look at the girl.

I saw that the girl didn't mean to talk to them. She just took out a mobile phone tripod from behind the seat and put the mobile phone on the stand. The screen on the mobile phone was exactly the screen in front of her.

Xia Yun and Wang Mengmeng looked at each other and realized that she was live broadcasting.

Just as everyone was getting up to leave, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in the theater:

"Wait a moment, everyone, I have a surprise for you today!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then someone woke up and shouted: "Isn't it Lin Li who is here?"

With this shout, everyone who was about to leave sat down, and those who had just walked to the door also ran back suddenly.

Everyone was ready to make a move and took out their mobile phones.

To everyone's surprise, no one came on stage. Instead, a video suddenly played on the stage screen.

On the screen, a middle-aged woman was holding a letter with trembling hands, her expression was painful, and she was reading with sobs in not very standard Mandarin.

"Mom and Dad, by the time you see this letter, I will no longer be in this world..."

Everyone in the theater was dumbfounded and didn't understand why this video was being played.

But as the woman spoke, the people in the theater completely forgot about Lin Li's coming, and became engrossed in what happened to this woman.

Everyone understood that this woman was reading her son's suicide note, and her son chose to commit suicide because he was bullied.

Until finally, the woman read out her son's name: Ye Zhiyong.

Only then did Xia Yun realize that this was Ye Zhiyong, the suicide internet celebrity who had been on the hot search before the release of "You Are Young"!

Some people at the scene understood and said, "This is Ye Zhiyong's mother!"

"Who is Ye Zhiyong?"

"There have been hot searches before about suicide, but you haven't seen it?"

"Is he that girly student in Douyin?"

"Yes, that's him. He committed suicide unexpectedly. How pitiful..."

"But why show us this?"

"Don't you understand? Ye Zhiyong is the boy you are in reality!"

…………

Everyone was still discussing, and suddenly music started playing.

Based on the original short film, the four big blood-red characters of "Rose Boy" slowly appeared on the screen!

The four-bar chords were laid out, paired with the piano to create a sense of aloofness, which immediately caught the ears of everyone present.

A familiar figure stepped onto the stage, and the entire auditorium was filled with screams.

"Lin Li!"

"Lin Li!!"

"Ahhh!"

Xia Yun also screamed: "Ahhhhh, Lin Li! It's really Lin Li!"

Wang Mengmeng also shouted: "Lin Li, I love you!!"

Lin Li seemed not to hear anything and looked coldly at the center of the auditorium.

Flower rain began to fall above the stage, and red rose petals kept falling down, making the entire stage a fiery red, romantic and fiery.

Lin Li stood in the center of the stage, as if he was in a sea of ​​fire.

The screams in the audience became louder. Xia Yun waved her hands desperately and let out the loudest scream in her life, hoping that Lin Li would look at her.

Ayu covered her ears and looked at the crazy crowd around her. Thinking of what she was like a year ago, she secretly sighed: "Boss Lin started setting fire to the hearts of the little girls again."

Lin Li picked up the microphone and sang, and the screams at the scene subsided a little.

Who takes whose soul

Whose body should I put it in?

Who takes whose body

Turn into a prison to imprison yourself

In troubled times, whispers are always indispensable

What kind of beauty arouses jealousy

You have no sin, sin is the world

…………

"You are not guilty, the world is."

What harsh and poignant lyrics.

For Ye Zhiyong, this is the case, and for Hu Xiaodie, Chen Nian and Xiao Bei in "Young You", is it not the same?

The scene suddenly became quiet, and they had realized the weight of this song.

Next came the strings, the melody began to become denser, and Lin Li's voice became more fiery, as if he was really singing to Ye Zhiyong.

born sinless

you don't need to apologize

…………

If the noise doesn't stop

Let me be quiet with you

…………

Then it entered the chorus. At this time, heavy drum beats were added to the melody. The sound of the bass drum was reverberated in the studio version. This kind of drum with great reverberation gave the song a sudden sad feeling. a feeling of.

Which rose has no thorns?

The best revenge is beauty

The most beautiful bloom is counterattack

Don't let anyone change you

It doesn’t matter if you are you or you

There will be someone who loves you with all their heart

…………

The whole audience heard this and looked at the rose petals flying on the stage. They wanted to scream, but they felt something was blocking their throats, preventing them from making a sound.

Then in the second chorus, the strings and drums seemed to explode, suddenly bursting out, unlike before.

Lin Li stood in a rain of roses, obviously a little lonely, and felt like he was struggling to resurrect from the ashes.

Lin Li's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, bringing the whole song to its climax!

The rose boy is in my heart

Blooming bright legend

We have never forgotten

Your accusation has no voice

but tells more truth

But it awakens countless sincerities

…………

The reggae style, rock singing style, and the story contained in this song made this song sound very heavy and sad. Everyone couldn't help but shed tears after listening to this song.

Lin Li's voice stopped, the strings and drums echoed, and the whole song came to an abrupt end.

The video did not stop. Ye Zhiyong’s mother stood in front of Ye Zhiyong’s grave and said words of encouragement to the students who came to pay their respects.

Her voice was old and choked, and her words were not very fluent, but what she said suddenly seemed like thorns piercing everyone's hearts.

"thank you all!"

"Don't pay attention to the rumors."

"You are the most unique people in this world!"

"You have to be brave!"

"Don't use death to escape reality!"

…………

I don’t know when the excitement of meeting Lin Li for the first time disappeared. It was replaced by deep thoughts about Ye Yongzhi’s regret and the theme expressed in the movie "Young You".

The theater was already crying. They didn't even realize that Lin Li had quietly left at some point.

All that was left was a sea of ​​fiery red roses on the stage.
