Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?
Chapter 402 My son loves this the most.
"If I get Alzheimer's, will you find me annoying?"
Looking at the dull old man on TV, Meng Han felt a pang of sadness. At his age, growing old was like a sharp blade hanging over his head.
If he's healthy and without any major health issues, that's fine. But if he really ends up like in the advertisement, given his pride, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it...
But what do celebrities and big shots amount to in the face of time and unexpected events? Even someone as brilliant as Chen Ping will eventually turn to dust.
"Of course I will."
Without hesitation, Meng Lei, standing to the side, said that even the most honest and filial son would get angry if his father really turned out like this.
After a long day at work, they won't even open the door for me when I get home. They have amnesia every few minutes and they get lost all the time. It's driving me crazy.
Of course, being annoyed doesn't mean ignoring it. You still have to fulfill your filial duties. Aren't family members supposed to help and support each other?
"Ah……"
Upon hearing this, Meng Han snorted coldly and remained silent. "Good lad, he doesn't even know how to say something nice. At least say a few words of love for his old man to make him happy."
When he saw his father continuing to care for his son by writing notes, Meng Lei felt a lump in his throat and tentatively asked a question.
"Dad, if you ended up like that, would you write me a note to remind me?"
"of course not."
If he really becomes this confused, he will definitely jot down musical inspirations when he is lucid, why would he write them down on a piece of paper?
She's such a grown-up, does she really need his painstaking reminders?
This time, it was Meng Lei's turn to scoff. He thought, "You want pretty words without any tender fatherly love? You're dreaming!"
The climax of the advertisement took place at a Chinese restaurant.
An unexpected scene unfolded when the son took his father and relatives to a meal. There were only two dumplings left on the plate.
The father simply grabbed the dumplings with his hands and put them into his pocket.
The oil from the dumpling filling seeped slightly between his fingers, stretching the fabric of his pocket out of shape, and the oil stains quickly spread.
The relatives and friends present were all surprised, and the son, both embarrassed and anxious, grabbed his father's hand and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Meng Lei subconsciously put himself in the same situation; he was surrounded by acquaintances in a public place, and he would feel awkward in that situation too.
Meng Han, also a father, sighed. "That's how Alzheimer's disease is. Everything is fate, and there's nothing we can do about it."
When the old man regained consciousness, he would surely regret causing trouble for his son. However, he wouldn't have time to feel remorse, because his remaining rationality would soon dissipate...
This moment marked the first breach in their emotional defenses; the son's expression shifted from embarrassment and confusion to a subtle pang of heartache.
The camera lingers briefly on the father and son's clasped hands before quickly panning up to capture the father's face.
The father raised his eyes, his gaze cloudy, yet there was a strange light within them. It was not a clear understanding, but rather the only intact imprint deeply embedded in the deepest layer of the ruins of memory.
He looked at his son, but his gaze seemed to pierce through time, seeing a blurry, young figure.
He spoke, his voice hoarse yet calm, carrying an undeniable certainty.
"This is for my son; it's his favorite."
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the living room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Meng Han's shoulder twitched, but he didn't turn his head.
Meng Lei secretly glanced at the other person and suddenly noticed that he had lost a lot of weight. His sweater collar was loose, revealing his bony collarbone.
This man, who used to be able to sing and play instruments on stage all day, now gets breathless after singing just two or three songs...
As the advertisement drew to a close, the entire living room fell silent when the subtitle "He forgot many things, but he never forgot to love you" appeared.
Meng Lei gently raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed it on the back of his father's hand where the veins were bulging.
"Dad, will you pack this for me?"
Yu Wei's advertisement had a powerful impact; even a carefree father and son like them were deeply moved.
It was just a simple and straightforward sentence, yet it inexplicably touched everyone's hearts.
"No, because you love hot pot." Meng Han's voice was slightly dry, almost imperceptibly. "I really don't dare to cook with it..."
Although it was said in a joking tone, Meng Lei still felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing it, just like the old father in the advertisement, his own father, who also clearly knew what he liked to eat.
Then he understood that the reason this simple line had such a profound emotional impact was because the scene revealed an eternal truth.
Family ties are ingrained in our blood; they cannot be erased or erased.
At the same time, this scene was happening in countless families. Thanks to CCTV's key publicity, many people were joining in the fun of the public service advertisement.
They were even mentally prepared. Don't be fooled by Yu Wei's usual tendency to cause trouble; this guy is quite cunning, as evidenced by his previous work, "Come Home Often."
When they first saw the Alzheimer's father, they thought Yu Wei was going to create some kind of melodramatic scene to rake in everyone's tears.
Unexpectedly, after all their precautions, all they could come up with was a casual remark: "My son loves this the most." Of course, this line was more effective than any grand scene.
With netizens prepared and taking precautions, it's difficult for any tear-jerking drama to penetrate the enemy's armor, but this sentence is an invisible and intangible magical attack.
It has no exaggerated performances, no sentimental music, it simply tells a story about love and forgetting in a calm manner. That's what makes it so hard to guard against, especially the scene of packing up dumplings, the emotional tension is so strong, it's no exaggeration to say that it will go down in advertising history.
While it might not have made a huge number of viewers cry, "The Packing Up" certainly made 90% of them feel emotional and their noses tingle after watching it, making it a very successful film.
Those in the advertising industry received an answer they didn't want: this kid is very professional, he understands dialogue and camera work very well...
Their worst fears came true. Although it was just an advertisement, it revealed Yu Wei's talent, which would inevitably wreak havoc on the film and television industry sooner or later.
CCTV was overjoyed to see the popularity and discussion surrounding the public service advertisement. Who would have thought that a public service advertisement could achieve such great success?
For years, every public service advertisement they released was criticized, and their reputation was almost ruined. These two times, however, they finally had a moment of glory and swept away their decline.
Yu Wei is right. This is what the higher-ups appreciate most about him: he knows what the people want to see and has the ability to make it happen.
It would be a loss for them not to give such people important positions. As long as they don't go too far, it's okay to turn a blind eye to things like the fake Spring Festival Gala.
Two public service advertisements are still too few. If possible, CCTV would naturally like to engage in more diverse collaborations with Yu Wei.
Tears of Dreams: [Yu Wei is amazing! This made me cry.]
Great Ape: [After reading this, Lao Qi hinted that I should buy him a new fishing rod. Is that right?]
Yu Wei changed Meng Lei's nickname to Meng Lei. It would be a pity if he wasn't called Meng Zhi Lei Shang.
After watching the ad, the viewers chatted enthusiastically in the group. The "Packaging" episode was indeed very infectious. Even Chi Leying, who rarely lets down her guard, talked about housework with everyone.
Seeing that Meng Lei was having a good time chatting, Yu Wei simply told him about the competition. He could advance by a bye, but he still had to sing.
There's already an element of luck involved in getting a bye to advance; if you skip it entirely, wouldn't readers be shouting that there's something fishy going on?
[Well, since you have no opponent, this match has been requisitioned as an exhibition game, so let Wang Er return for a comeback.]
After the message was sent, the entire group was silent for a long time. Meng Lei was stunned. Was he waiting for this? He should have known better than to praise Yu Wei. Yu Wei was such a bad person.
Who is Wang Er? A few days ago, his song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" pushed the competition to the forefront, and the momentum hasn't died down yet.
The natives were already quite strong, but now, even five of them wouldn't be enough to defeat them...
The exhibition match won't affect his advancement, but if the returning guest criticizes him, it won't look good, and he'll be too embarrassed to advance.
[Don't panic, this is an exhibition match between guests and mentors, it has nothing to do with me.]
It would be beneath the senior mentor to bully the juniors, so we have to start with the veterans. Currently, among the mentors of "Top Idol," only Meng Han and Lin Puyan can be considered veterans.
Yu Wei's first choice was definitely Lao Lin. He likes to show off and even wanted to fight three people at once. This time, let him try fighting one person at a time.
But Lin Puyan likes to play the cowardly lizard, so just in case, Yu Wei also has to ask Teacher Meng Han for his opinion.
Teacher Meng, you wouldn't want your son to be brutally beaten by the natives, would you...?
Yu Wei mentioned this in the group chat so that Meng Lei could ask him to check if they were in a good position to be loving father and filial son after watching the public service advertisement.
This is undoubtedly good news for Meng Lei.
Letting him run into Wang Er would be terrible. It would be much better to have someone to take the fall. If he can win, that would be great, but if he loses, it won't be him who feels embarrassed.
Even the veterans lost, so he, a junior, naturally felt no pressure. Thinking of this, Meng Lei's brows relaxed, and his gaze towards his father became more eager as he put down his phone.
"Let's skip the hot pot; I need your help with something."
Meng Han, who was engrossed in the public service advertisement, nodded without hesitation. What does it mean to have a father's love as strong as a mountain? How could he not help his son when he was in trouble?
"What is it? Just say it. As long as this old bone of mine can hold on..."
Meng Lei was deeply moved and immediately told Yu Wei all about his arrangements. Just as Mulan took her father's place in the army in ancient times, Meng Han took his son's place in the army today. It was truly touching.
"What's the matter?"
Meng Han was stunned when he heard this. This brat is really a liar! He's a real expert and could tell at a glance that "Zhou Wang Tao Lin" are the four strongest natives of Yu Wei.
To put it simply, while the other natives each have their own strengths, these four are not only quite powerful but also innovative, making them the most difficult to deal with.
"Then I'll get back to Yu Wei."
"You wait!"
Meng Han stopped him directly. Knowing that the opponent was strong, he still insisted on sending him. What was this if not a disservice to him?
What an unlucky kid.
"Dad, that's not what you said just now."
Just now I said I'd help if my body could handle it, it's just singing a song, it won't hurt my health, where is the fatherly love that's as solid as a mountain in the public service announcement?
"Then I don't have a son like you."
Meng Han denied it on the spot. He was warlike, but he really couldn't muster the energy to fight Yu Wei. First, he knew he couldn't win, and second, he didn't want to bully a patient.
The indigenous characters in his novels are so well-developed; others may not know, but Meng Han knows all too well what's going on. Sigh.
Could it be that these four are Yu Wei's various primary personalities...?
"As expected, advertisements are all lies."
Meng Lei sighed, the loving father-son atmosphere vanishing instantly. "I'd better go ask Uncle Lin."
There were only two guests, and since the father wasn't cooperating, we had to ask Lin Puyan.
Meng Han was taken aback when he heard this. Why did this sound so strange? Was it Old Lin from next door?
He subconsciously touched his belt. "This is my son's favorite food." (End of Chapter)
