Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 494 Zhou Ye Stuns Everyone

In Theater No. 7, the audience remained silent, and everyone was staring intently at the picture on the giant screen.

The plot is slowly unfolding.

In 2011, Chen Nian was studying in Science Class 10 at Anqiao Yaohong College Entrance Examination Review Center. There were less than days left before the college entrance examination. This was the time for the final sprint review for the college entrance examination. There was no room for slacking off, because laziness would lead to a decline in grades, which was absolutely intolerable for students in the review class.

Under the camera, the fast-paced background music, combined with the students' busy study scenes, instantly brought everyone into a tense atmosphere.

At this moment, many people at the scene couldn't help but recall the scenes when they took the college entrance examination, and they instantly felt the same way.

The texture is perfect.

This is the first feeling of many professionals.

Texture means simulation and high restoration.

The film places the college entrance examination in a very high position, and everyone has this sword on their necks, both the protagonist and passers-by.

This makes school violence particularly reasonable. Heavy pressure can numb people and breed madness.

Many people noticed a detail. When there was a noise in the classroom, there was a shot of less than half a second in which the girl in the classroom covered her ears and her mouth kept moving.

She was reciting that human sorrows and joys are not common, she just felt it was noisy.

With just this one shot, the audience could have just let it go, but when Lin Li inserted it, the credibility of the entire film suddenly changed.

Chen Nian and her desk mate Hu Xiaodie were carrying drinks together. It is said that desk mates are half friends, but the silly Hu Xiaodie was obviously not among them.

Hu Xiaodie took out a bottle of drink from the box and drank it alone, as if no one was around. She walked towards the empty balcony while drinking.
After returning to the classroom, Chen Nian used her spare time to familiarize herself with English listening without any concern. However, what Chen Nian did not expect was that the unfinished drink bottle was actually the last relic that Hu Xiaodie had touched before her death.

With a "bang", Hu Xiaodie jumped down from a high floor!

"what!"

There were exclamations in the theater; no one expected such a turn of events.

Although I just noticed something was wrong, was it going to be so explosive right at the beginning?
Students who didn't know the truth took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Everyone said that the pressure of the college entrance examination was too great, and Hu Xiaodie's grades were always mediocre, so she committed suicide by jumping off the building. Some people even rumored that Hu Xiaodie had been bullied at school.
For a moment, all the students were discussing the cause of Hu Xiaodie's death, but no one was willing to come forward to help.

Seeing Hu Xiaodie, who was talking to her just a few minutes ago, now lying coldly on the ground, Chen Nian was panicked but still mustered up the courage to walk forward and took off her school uniform to cover her face.

At this moment, a mobile phone screen appeared and captured this scene. Accompanied by weird background music, everyone in the theater realized that the owner of this phone was not simple.

Chen Nian's entire face was in cold tones in the secretly photographed footage, giving everyone a creepy feeling, as if Chen Nian was the second prey targeted by the poisonous snake after Hu Xiaodie.

And so it is.

Chen Nian returned to the classroom and found that his stool was splashed with red ink. He immediately remembered that Hu Xiaodie was also standing there looking around in confusion like him.

Seeing this, many people in the theater felt their hearts wrench in their throats, for they knew that the heroine's tragic fate was about to begin.

At this time, the scene turned to the cafeteria. When Zhou Ye, who played Wei Lai, finally made his official appearance, a subdued discussion was heard in the theater.

In the picture, Wei Lai has fair and clean skin, plump eye bags, and bright and smiling eyes. She looks clean and pure.

Everyone's first impression was that the girl looked really pretty and well-behaved.

Wei Lai was talking to Chen Nian, but Chen Nian ignored her coldly. Everyone in the theater thought Chen Nian was strange at first, but the following plot made everyone realize that something was wrong. It seemed that this girl was not that simple.

When seeing the scene of Wei Lai and others bullying Hu Xiaodie flash across the screen, her image of a witch who was arrogant, domineering, verbally abusive and brutal to her classmates made many people in the theater hold their breath.

Hu Xiaodie committed suicide by jumping off a building because of the bullying she led, and now, without any remorse, she has turned the target of her bullying to Chen Nian.

Wei Lai is here.

Chen Nian was kicked down on the way home. Wei Lai helped her up and said that she was touched by covering Hu Xiaodie with clothes.

When she aggressively questioned Chen Nian why she was meddling in other people's business, the cold and cruel light in her eyes made everyone shudder.

She was indifferent to the death of her classmate, and even gloated over it, thinking that Hu Xiaodie's death was unimportant and even deserved it, because she was cowardly, or even wanted to extort money, but she never reflected on her own evil deeds.

Her calm, elegant and proud smile made many viewers feel a chill in their feet.

Such a contrast!

Zhou Ye's performance in the movie vividly presents Wei Lai's viciousness, giving the feeling of a character possessed by an angel and a devil, allowing everyone to better perceive the fear, terror and hurt of Hu Xiaodie and Chen Nian.

Afterwards, Chen Nian was hit with a volleyball in the gymnasium, and Wei Lai mocked Chen Nian: "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's child will dig holes."

Chen Nian resisted: "Are you done yet?"

So Wei Lai pushed Chen Nian hard from behind, causing her to fall down the stairs.

The following shot is from an upward perspective, which perfectly expresses Wei Lai's indifference.

There were bursts of suppressed exclamations in the theater again, and when many people turned their eyes to Zhou Ye who was sitting on the side, their eyes had become different.

A faint fear permeated my heart...

On the giant screen, the story continues.

Chen Nian called the police.

When the police were collecting evidence from Wei Cai regarding Hu Xiaodie's death and Chen Nian's bullying, Wei Cai's eyes were innocent and pure.

When asked about Hu Xiaodie's death, Wei Cai said softly: "I'm afraid of ghosts."

Then smile beautifully.

When asked about bullying Chen Nian: "Chen Nian, we are very good classmates and we often joke together." Her sweet smile and calmness seemed to deceive everyone.

When she heard her cell phone ringing, Wei Lai's big watery eyes turned to the lower right. When the police asked her parents to come, Wei Cai suddenly became angry. The changes in her eyes, expression, voice and emotions happened in an instant.

The still beautiful face now looked hideous.

When the police visited the home, Wei Lai's mother made all kinds of excuses and justifications.

Wei Lai's change of panic, expressionlessness, and finally a smug smile towards the police officer played by Yin Fang made all the viewers feel a chill in their hearts.

Wei Lai and his gang went to the doorstep to bully Chen Nian. Wei Lai stood outside, and his follower Xu Miao stood inside, next to the iron gate.

Many people noticed the portrayal of this detail. Xu Miao, who was standing inward, was forced to do evil, so he was more or less dodging the evil thoughts in his heart.

Wei Lai's eyes were fixed and dull, just like the eyes of a wild beast after seeing its prey.

Wei Lai waved the utility knife hidden behind him: "Why don't you just die!"

This scene clearly reveals the cruel and violent animal nature in Wei Lai's personality through his eyes and behavior.

Zhang Ruonan and Meng Ziyi all turned their eyes to Zhou Ye at the same time. They didn't expect that this girl could act so well.

"Yeah, everyone's reaction is good."

Lin Li turned sideways and whispered to Zhou Ye.

"You took good pictures." Zhou Ye finally stopped remaining silent and whispered to Lin Li.

"Heh~"

Seeing that Zhou Ye's attitude finally softened, Lin Li smiled with satisfaction.

In the darkness, Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Li with dissatisfaction.

This person will shine with a little sunshine.

But he took really good pictures of himself...

Looking at himself on the giant screen, Zhou Ye himself was a little bit unbelievable.

Do I have such good acting skills?

On the big screen, the drama continues.

So far, what many people feel is the sense of reality.

The setting is quite realistic, with the review materials piled on the table in the college entrance examination class, the school bags hanging on the side of the desk, the cafeteria during lunch, and the freckles on Zhang Zifeng's face. Everything is exactly as he remembered from his high school days, without any filters.

Many people at the scene had already started smacking their lips.

Because they found that Lin Li really dared to take pictures!

He reveals the scars of some people's growth in such a bloody way in front of everyone.

In previous youth dramas, the campus always seemed to represent brightness, sunshine and growth, but in this film, it was replaced by dead silence and darkness.

In the silent scene at the beginning, everyone is numb and cold. The college entrance examination timer is counting down on the display screen. Everyone in the classroom is studying hard, and it is dull, depressing and silent.

In the fake-shaking camera, there are close-ups of Chen Nian, played by Zhang Zifeng, with a panicked and confused look. Then, in this silent environment, her classmate Hu Xiaodie jumps off the building and commits suicide.

Everybody was watching and chatting, everybody was making noise and playing.

No one will treat it as an incident of school violence.

Just like when someone poured ink on Chen Nian's chair, the teacher just said it was a prank.

Yes!

Everyone thinks that children are innocent and kind, and they only play inappropriate jokes on each other, but little do they know that such jokes can be fatal if played for too long.

The plot continues.

Chen Nian, who had originally wanted to keep a low profile until graduation, fell into a nightmare. Not only did she have to worry about being bullied every day, but news of her mother being harassed for debts and accused of being a liar also spread like wildfire in the school.

During this period, she thought about saving herself and mustered up the courage to tell the police the truth about Hu Xiaodie being bullied.

However, because there was no actual evidence, the police could do nothing to the students who committed the crime. The school only asked the class teacher to resign and expelled several students. It even retained the opportunity for several bullies to take the college entrance examination.

The pain of a single-parent family is compounded by the fact that she has an unreliable mother. Not only is she bullied at school, she is also ridiculed by other classmates. The police and teachers claim that they can help her, but they allow the perpetrators to appear around her at will.

Chen Nian's space to breathe freely was compressed step by step.

At this time, Xiaobei, played by Hou Minghao, finally appeared.

Many viewers' eyes lit up when they saw Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei, played by Hou Minghao, has that youthfulness, that loneliness of being abandoned by the world, that cynical frivolity, and that sincerity that is unique to teenagers.

The first time Chen Nian and Xiao Bei met, Xiao Bei was beaten to death, Chen Nian had her phone thrown at her, and was forced to kiss.

The next time Chen Nian and Xiao Bei met, Xiao Bei was dressed as a bad boy and was asked for his ID card by the police on the road, and Chen Nian kept tearing up the paper that said her mother was a liar at the door of her house.

The boy and girl had already shown their most embarrassing sides to each other from the very beginning, and it was a messy meeting.

Two young people who are equally confused and want to escape the cruel reality develop a strange attraction to each other.

Zhang Zifeng's performance was also perfect. In the subsequent crying scenes, Zhang Zifeng was quite restrained and did not shout or scream.

When she talked to her mother on the phone but couldn't express her pain, she cried so hard that she wanted to cover herself with the quilt, which made many viewers' eyes wet.

And when she told Xiaobei that she wanted to protect the world, many people could feel how strong her determination and belief were.

Of course, the film is not all depressing.

The scene that happened when Chen Nian and Xiao Bei were together in his small shabby room made everyone feel relaxed.

Chen Nian: Is it hard?
Xiaobei: Hmm?

Chen Nian: I want to ask you, is your sofa hard?
Xiaobei: ...Not hard!
The entire Screening Room 7 suddenly burst into laughter.

"Experience."

Zhou Ye, who was standing next to Lin Li, suddenly said something.

Lin Li turned his head and glanced at her. In the dim light, Zhou Ye's fair little face seemed to emit a layer of jade-like faint fluorescence under the refraction of the screen light.

"How did you know?"

Lin Li tilted his head and leaned close to her ear, asking in a low voice.

The warm breath and clear voice made Zhou Ye shudder, and his whole body felt like it was electrified.

“The reaction on the scene was not very obvious.”

Zhou Ye endured the numbness in his body and spoke calmly.

"That only means that I understand more about what the general public can understand, but how can you say that I am experienced?"

Lin Li defended himself rather unconvincedly.

"Do you still want to claim to be a good man in front of me at this moment?"

Zhou Ye finally turned to face Lin Li, his eyes sparkling like gemstones in the dim light.

"Of course not. I only acknowledge what I should acknowledge. I can't take all the responsibility for things I shouldn't acknowledge."

Lin Li showed an innocent expression.

"Humph~"

Zhou Ye snorted and stopped looking at him.

Lin Li, however, raised the corners of his lips in joy.

It’s good to have a reaction. The worst thing is no reaction at all, which would be very troublesome.

The video continues to play.
