Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 412 She didn't understand why everyone was talking about...

That year, an earthquake struck Tangshan, and people far away in the capital were also affected to some extent.

Many people moved to the streets and temporarily slept there.
Then, Xiao Anran appeared, who is the character played by Gao Yuanyuan when she grew up.

Xiao Anran's mother was a doctor who went to support Tangshan, but unfortunately, she sacrificed her life.

On the other side, Guo Fan sat in a chair watching this scene, finding it somewhat amusing.
Are modern romance films starting to incorporate historical events into their plots, just like he did?

Since "My Old Classmate" finished its run and its box office results were finalized, his inbox has been flooded with scripts for romance films.
Sometimes when he had nothing to do, he would take a look and find that many scripts were set against the backdrop of historical events.

He did that back then to reminisce about his youth, and it also indirectly shows the depth of the relationship between the two protagonists.

But those scripts... how should I put it?

It's somewhat like trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a cat instead, a clumsy imitation, a poor attempt at Ma Kui... oh no, a poor imitation.

The plot of "One Life, One Love" is barely passable so far... mainly serving as background and not really showcasing the screenwriter's or director's abilities.

On the other side, Qi Hui stroked his chin, exchanged a glance with Lu Yang, and had a somewhat amused expression.

They knew exactly what the director was thinking.

In the group chat, Lao Guo brought up this topic several times, and they could recite it from memory... Of course, Lao Guo mainly did it to show off.

He boasted about his more than two hundred scripts
It was also a way of showing off his frustration: he didn't want to film any of the many scripts available.

This incident at Versailles infuriated Lu Yang and Wu Jing so much that they wanted to hit someone.

Outrageous!

On the screen, the movie continues, and Xiao Anran transfers to a primary school in a hutong (alleyway).

Then I met a little boy.

The little boy was filthy; his hair looked like it hadn't been washed in years, making him look older than a middle-aged man. His face also looked like it hadn't been washed in years, and his clothes looked like he had just come back from a coal mine.

The little boy, under the big guy's orders, followed Xiao Anran everywhere, every single day.
Besides being dirty, the little boy was also extremely ragged, covered in patches, and dressed in thin clothes in the dead of winter. Even his nose had two streaks of snot with ice crystals hanging from it.

With that kind of look, he could play Ji Gong (a legendary Chinese monk).

Moreover, he was like the legendary Ji Gong, just like Master You Benchang.

The moment this character appeared, everyone present couldn't help but frown.

Most of them are from Beijing, and most are middle-aged, having lived through that era.

They were indeed very poor back then, but they weren't dirty.

Whether they were children from the compound or children from the alley, their clothes were indeed old and patched.
But to say that he's dirty enough to play Ji Gong is absolutely impossible.

Then, the child's maternal grandmother appeared. Her clothes were clean, thick, and warm, a stark contrast to the thin, dirty little boy.

If you said she was a bad grandmother, that would be understandable, but the thing is, this grandmother is very kind. She even makes the little boy pay back the money for the candied hawthorn that someone else offered him.

The reason given is that it's unambitious to freeload off other people's food.
Moreover, this poor little boy actually had money to take the bus just to be with Xiao Anran?

Honestly, not everyone could afford to ride a bus in the 1970s.

This strange and illogical scene, which defies all common sense and reality, made everyone who watched it feel extremely uncomfortable.

Oh shit!

Qi Hui curled his lip. The director of this movie, Zou Xian, was probably not brainless, but simply arrogant.

Arrogance of a second-generation Chinese American and an ABC (American-born Chinese).

They simply copied and pasted stereotypes without making any corresponding modifications.

"Boring..." Qi Hui curled his lips, completely losing interest, and immediately took out his phone to start playing.

Lu Yang and the others did the same, just playing on their phones and not even bothering to look at anything.

Not only Qi Hui and his group, but many people in the venue also started playing with their phones.

This thing is annoying and pointless; they don't even feel like commenting on it.

That's certainly true; some of them lived in the compound.

But the children from the compound and the children from the alley were not isolated from each other; on the contrary, they interacted with each other.

When we were kids, we formed gangs and often got into fights. We would often sneak into each other's yards to watch movies.

Feng Yuanzheng, or whoever he is, had a mission when he was young: to block the courtyard and prevent anyone from sneaking in to watch movies.

If anyone tries to climb, we'll poke them down with a bamboo pole.

As a child, I grew up in a compound and often played with the other kids in the alley.

The literal meaning of "becoming one with someone" also refers to becoming one with someone in a physical sense. Although everyone's life experiences have changed as they grew up, the middle-aged people here are well aware of the situation back then. No alleyway kid would be dirty enough to play the role of Ji Gong.

That's outrageous!
Some people disliked it, while others gritted their teeth and kept watching.

One day, the little boy's maternal grandmother passed away. His uncle appeared, took him to another city, and left in a great hurry, without even telling Xiao Anran.

Xiao Anran waited at the bus stop every day, until she grew up and graduated from university.

This is because it was the place where she first spoke to the little boy and first formally met him.

One day, his uncle brought the little boy back again, and the little boy has now grown up to be Nicholas Tse.

Nicholas Tse opened a small clothing store, and one day Gao Yuanyuan went shopping at their store.

Nicholas Tse recognized Gao Yuanyuan as the young An Ran from back then.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't recognize Xie Tingfeng, so Xie Tingfeng began stalking her back then.

Day after day of tracking.

"..."

Grass!
This melodramatic plot is so ridiculous that even those who are trying to watch it can't stand it.

Back then, there was a crime of hooliganism. What young man would dare to so openly and brazenly follow and stalk a female college student?
If caught, they will be prosecuted according to the law; at best, they will go to jail, and at worst, they will be executed!
……

Bored in the crowd, Qi Hui sent a message to Jing Tian, ​​saying he would be going home later.

He finished his work before the release of "Brotherhood of Blades" and can rest for a few days.

"Okay, I got it. I'll wait for you to come home," Jing Tian replied. "Oh, by the way, I want some candy."

Then she took off her dance shoes and walked out of the dance studio.
She was covered in sweat and needed to take a nice, fragrant shower before Qi Hui returned.

Jing Tian hummed a little tune and walked lightly into the bathroom.

I casually strolled into the dressing room and picked out a nice outfit for myself.

Nothing else, a good battle suit can increase attack speed and critical strike chance.

She's been practicing dance every day lately, and her stamina and endurance have improved significantly. Now it's time to put that to the test.
……

In the venue

In the movie, Gao Yuanyuan stands on a high place, gazing at the Statue of Liberty in the distance, and finally decides to return to China and give up her career in the United States.

She wants to go back to find the person she loves.

So she dialed Xie Tingfeng's number and told him that she was going back to the capital.

“I’ve finally heard you say that,” Xie Tingfeng said slowly. “Do you know? I’ve been waiting for you in New York.”

On screen, Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath, feeling surprised, moved, and guilty.

I must say, she acted very well, and it made people feel a pang of pity for her.

Qi Hui looked completely bewildered. "Wait... since you two are both in New York, why don't you just get together?"
"When shall we meet?"

"Today!" Gao Yuanyuan said urgently, "Every day from now on, okay?"

Then, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.
The camera zooms out, revealing that Nicholas Tse is standing inside the Twin Towers; the date in the film is September 11, 2001.

In other words, he was hit by a plane inside the building.

As the mournful music played, everyone on the screen was overcome with grief, and Gao Yuanyuan even ran out, overwhelmed with sorrow.

In the front row, Zou Xian looked at a scene from his own movie, his face showing emotion and solemnity.

In the meeting room, everyone wore tense expressions, never expecting such an outcome.
"Hahahaha..." Qi Hui couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. What kind of amazing plot is this?
"Ahem!" Just as he started to laugh, Qi Hui coughed twice and suddenly stopped.

But... the venue was too quiet, and his laughter was too abrupt.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"No, I can't hold back anymore, hahaha..."

"Damn, hahaha, this is hilarious!"

However, as soon as Qi Hui stopped laughing, everyone else in the room couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

I can't believe it, this ending is too interesting! The male lead was actually taken away by 9/11.

For a moment, the venue was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Zou Xian gritted her teeth, her face dark. She couldn't understand why everyone laughed when they talked about this.
Shouldn't we feel sad and in pain?
