Chapter 248 A Breakup Wave Triggered by a Movie
When I discovered he was secretly hiding money from others, he said that a man should always have some pride.

When I caught him with his arm around another woman, he said I was overthinking it and that we were just friends.

He promised to accompany her to the hospital for a check-up, but stood her up because he had a dinner party with his friends. He said he would definitely do it next time.

It turns out that those details she had deliberately ignored had already connected to form the same trajectory as in the movie.

As the end credits rolled, the lights in the theater slowly came on.

Xiaoyu stopped crying, but sat there with a blank stare, clutching the star trail bracelet tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white.

Chen Ming asked cautiously, "Baby, are you alright? Should I go buy a bottle of water?"

Xiaoyu slowly turned her head, her voice eerily calm: "Chen Ming, let's break up."

? ? ? ? ?

Chen Ming was stunned, thinking she was still excited about the movie plot: "Aren't you getting too involved? That's not real!"

“It’s fake,” Xiaoyu gently placed the bracelet on the seat, next to the movie ticket stub, “but your lies are true.”

"I don't want to end up like Li Muzi! Gu Yang is a scumbag, and so are you!"

She stood up, ignoring his astonished face, and walked straight out of the theater.

Her steps were slow, but without the slightest hesitation, like Li Muzi's final gaze at the sea in the movie, finally having accumulated enough disappointment, she chose not to look back.

Chen Ming stood frozen in place, watching Xiao Yu's figure disappear into the exit. Suddenly, he had something he wanted to say to Gu Yang.

Holy crap, what kind of movie did you make, you bastard?
I went to see a movie and lost my girlfriend?

……

VIP Hall of a High-End Cinema in Shandu

Just as the movie was showing the scene where He Fei repeatedly lies to his wife, Li Wen suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to the restroom," she said softly.

Her boyfriend, Wang Lei, was engrossed in watching and casually hummed in response.

Twenty minutes later, he realized that the seat next to him was still empty.

As I rushed out of the theater, I received only a cold text message: "Don't look for me. You're just as good at acting as He Fei. By the way, I saw your credit card bill hidden in the third shelf of your bookshelf."

"let's break up!"

Guangzhou Couples-Themed Cinema
As the ending theme song "Cage" played, Lin Yue slowly turned the diamond ring on her left ring finger.

"What's wrong?" Her fiancé, Zhang Chen, reached out to take her hand.

"It's nothing." She gently took off the ring and placed it in the cup holder on the armrest of the seat. "I just suddenly remembered, did you lose all 300,000 yuan you said you wanted to use to start a business online?"

Zhang Chen's face turned deathly pale instantly.

The ring reflected a cold light under the lamp, just like a wedding ring that sank to the bottom of the sea in a movie.

Yanjing Midnight Special Screening

College student Chen Xue cried the moment He Fei locked the cage.

Her boyfriend, Zhao Yu, jokingly remarked, "Are you getting too into character?"

When the event ended, Chen Xue shoved her phone screen right in front of him.

Those were chat logs between Zhao Yu and his junior classmate, dated the night he went to his "brothers' gathering" last week.

“You’re a bit better than Gu Yang,” Chen Xue poured cola over his head, “At least you didn’t try to kill me.”

Countless scenes like this are playing out in cinemas across the country.

On Weibo, the hashtag #TheDisappearingGirlBrokenUp# has gone viral, and the comment section has become a massive heartbreak scene.
Hot review:

"Thanks to Teacher Gu Yang, I discovered before we got our marriage certificate that my fiancé owed 60 yuan in online loans. He said it was to buy me a diamond ring."

Second most popular comment:

"Yesterday at the movie theater, only my girlfriend and I left safely; everyone else was arguing!" (Third most popular comment)

"We are now recruiting 100 couples who didn't break up after watching the movie for scientific research."

The top reply was: "I signed up, but my girlfriend now makes me report my location every day."

A well-known relationship blogger launched a poll:
After watching "The Vanished," what did you do?

1. Check the other party's mobile phone (42%)

2. Bank statements are required (28%)

3. Break up immediately (19%)

4. Pretend nothing happened (11%)

Yanjing, Galaxy Media Conference Room
The projection screen was displaying the box office data for "The Vanished" for the first two days.

Opening day box office: 1.72 million

Box office revenue the following day: 2.35 million yuan, an increase of 36.6%!

Screening share: 52.8%
Trending topics on Weibo: #TheAftereffectsOfTheDisappearingGirl#, #BreakUpAfterWatchingTheDisappearingGirl#, #GuYangTheScumbag#
The marketing director excitedly tapped his laser pointer: "Everyone, the data has completely exceeded expectations! Maoyan's prediction for total box office has been revised upwards to 35 billion!"

The meeting room erupted in applause, and the heads of several departments wore expressions of joy.

Gu Yang leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Don't rush to celebrate," he suddenly said, his voice calm. "The online public opinion isn't quite right."

He gestured to Zhang Ruonan, who was sitting not far away from him, to bring up a few sets of data.

1. A short video platform: "After watching 'The Vanished Girl,' I checked my boyfriend's bank statements overnight" (98 likes)!
2. A prominent relationship blogger posted: "Warning! This movie is creating a crisis of trust between couples."

3. Various records manipulated by online trolls: "The Vanished She" is a catalyst for breakups; couples are advised to watch with caution.

The air in the conference room froze for a few seconds.

Gu Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

“There are rumors circulating online that watching ‘The Vanished’ will cause you to break up.” He spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable force, “We cannot let these rumors continue to fester.”

The marketing director frowned: "But this topic has indeed generated a lot of buzz..."

“The hype is temporary.” Gu Yang shook his head. “If the audience categorizes this movie as one that discourages viewers from watching, the subsequent box office will definitely be affected. We need to change that impression.”

"Someone has attacked us!"

……

Under Gu Yang's guidance, Xinghe Media's crisis public relations team acted swiftly.

The first to be mobilized were dozens of online celebrities from Xinghe Media, specializing in emotional and film-related topics, who received urgent tasks that very night.

A relationship blogger and dating observer posted a video saying, "After watching 'The Vanished Girl,' I love my boyfriend even more!"

In the video, she walks out of the movie theater arm in arm with her boyfriend, and says with a smile, "He was cursing He Fei the whole time, and he even gave me his phone password."

Film critic and commentator Movie Detective provides an in-depth analysis: "The Vanished She" is not a movie that advises breakups, but rather teaches you to recognize true love.

He listed several key details in the movie and analyzed the difference between He Fei's gambler mentality and his true love for someone.

Couple bloggers, overflowing with sweetness, launched a challenge: "Those who can still hold hands after watching 'The Vanished' are true lovers!"

They filmed the reactions of couples outside the movie theater, focusing on capturing sweet moments of hugging and holding hands after watching the movie.

Galaxy Media also quickly released a batch of previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.

The humorous interactions between Gu Yang and Zhou Ye during filming breaks shattered the audience's negative impression of He Fei.

In an interview, director Gu Yang emphasized, "The core of this film is not about fear of marriage, but about reminding everyone to cherish the people who truly love you."
