Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

A few days ago, a relative told him that Ma Xiaolong had posted a message on his WeChat Moments saying he wanted to eat the watermelons he grew, but he was too busy with work to go back to his hometown.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma quickly picked the largest melon and went to Jialin City, where his son lived, hoping to take the opportunity to meet his son.

This also helps the audience understand why Ma Xiaolong was so distressed when he learned of his father's death in the previous loop.

His father came to deliver melons to him, which is why he boarded that deadly bus.

If I hadn't posted that message on WeChat Moments, would my father have survived?

Many viewers felt heartbroken.

But the most heartbreaking part was yet to come.

Li Shiqing told the old man that Xiao Ma often praised his father to his colleagues and wanted to go back to his hometown for the Spring Festival.

Mr. Ma was overjoyed and simply shared the crushed watermelon with the passengers on the bus.

Old Ma, holding the watermelon, said, "Although this watermelon is broken, the inside is clean."

A good drama is always complete with memorable lines.

At that moment, a barrage of comments flooded the screen.

"In tears!"

"move!"

"This statement has a double meaning. It seems to be talking about melons, but it's actually talking about himself. Although he caused someone's death by mistake, his heart was good!"

"What an amazing screenwriter! One line made me cry."

"That's brilliant dialogue!"

"The melon is broken! But the person isn't bad!"

"This is so heartwarming!"

"Youmingyue's skill in writing ensemble pieces and dialogue is absolutely amazing!"

"..."

Suddenly, a barrage of comments flashed by, attracting the attention of many viewers. It read: "The Third Transportation Commission of Beijing reminds you: There are thousands of roads, but safety is the first priority. Improper driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

That's... very fitting for the occasion!

The audience wholeheartedly agreed, since wasn't it because of the car accident that four people were in jail?

Therefore, you must drive carefully and cautiously, and you cannot be careless.

"If it weren't for the car accident, Mr. Ma's family wouldn't be in this situation now, and they wouldn't have boarded that deadly bus."

"Everyone, please be careful while driving."

"The author's writing is excellent; this sentence is very well written."

"Indeed, it could be used as the tagline for a public service announcement."

"..."

Actually, this comment was posted by Xia Yan. As You Mingyue's assistant, she had read a small part of the script for "The Wandering Earth" written by her bosses and was deeply impressed by this line.

Little did people know that this line was also the most classic line in "The Wandering Earth 1".

Of course, at this point, the audience of "The Beginning" did not know this; they simply thought it was an impromptu work by a talented netizen.

on the screen.

Mr. Ma's story also illustrates that he had no motive for committing the crime.

He shared the watermelon with the passengers, and they enjoyed it together.

A rare and heartwarming moment unfolded on bus route 45, with happy smiles on everyone's faces. Even Rudy, who was wearing a mask, took it off and started eating watermelon.

But as the bus drove onto the cross-river bridge, the moment of explosion drew ever closer, and then, the deadly canon bell rang precisely on time.

Many spectators shuddered.

Modern audiences simply can't bear to watch this piece; the moment it starts playing, a bus will explode.

Many people even suffer from severe PTSD from Canon in their lives; their heart races when they hear this piece.

"Canon is here!"

"It's going to explode!"

"Destroy it!"

Sure enough, the next second, without any surprises or miracles, the bus exploded!

The passengers hadn't even finished eating their melons when the explosion engulfed them all, leaving only the burning bus behind.

Xiaodan sat cross-legged on the sofa, hugging her long legs, and said with a sweet smile, "It still exploded, but this episode was really good. They must have been showing off, right? First Rudy, then this Old Man Ma. The two episodes explained things clearly, while also showing the complexity of human nature. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and their personalities are distinct and very real. I'm afraid no one in the industry can match their skill in portraying ensemble characters."

...... . 0

Xiaodan recalled a saying: "To appreciate a good drama is to appreciate a part of life."

A good drama is one that leaves the viewer with something to reflect on, like watching someone else's life unfold. This is the highest level of storytelling, and now, "The Beginning" has given her that feeling.

The story of Ludi and Old Man Ma moved her deeply.

She started writing in her little notebook: "Old Ma came to Jialin City to deliver melons to his son. His son is the sales manager of Yanjiang West... Wait, Yanjiang West!"

Suddenly, Xiaodan stopped writing and her eyes widened instantly.

It felt like an electric shock; I became excited, my chest heaving!

She seems to have discovered a chilling hidden thread in the show!

"This side of the bridge is Yanjiang East Station, and the other side is Yanjiang West Station! Xiao Heyun is going to a meeting on the other side of the bridge, but because of the bus explosion, he hasn't been able to get there yet! Li Shiqing is going to the library on the other side of the bridge to buy books, but she still hasn't arrived! Lu Di is going to the pet hospital to board his pet, and Old Ma is going to deliver melons to his son... Everything is on the other side of the bridge, but none of them have been able to get there!"

"Hiss..." Xiaodan gasped, completely stunned by this setting, and blurted out, "Holy crap, that's awesome!"

At the same time, he became extremely excited.

She knew what kind of review she should write after finishing watching the show tonight.

If you write a review with the premise that "everything is on the other side of the bridge," it will definitely boost your popularity as a reviewer.

……ten.

Chapter 461: The whole internet was moved to tears; the tattered suitcase was innocent!

Viewers who think as deeply as Xiaodan are a minority.

Most viewers haven't thought of this yet.

At this point, everyone's attention was focused on finding out "who is the bus bomber".

"Rudy and Old Man Ma are both ruled out as suspects. Aunt Yao's bag was full of medicine, so there couldn't be a bomb there. The muscular man and the floral shirt-wearing anchor weren't carrying anything else, so they couldn't possibly be carrying a bomb either. The rest..."

In Shenyang, Liaoning Province, Zhao Jingmai's parents were also watching the show. After recalling for a moment, Zhao's father analyzed, "The only one left is a middle-aged man. He was sitting behind Aunt Yao, carrying a tattered suitcase, and a woman who didn't appear on screen much. I remember there was a red plastic bag next to her feet, and it looked like there was something in it. But, I don't think anyone would brazenly bring a bomb onto a car in a plastic bag, would they? That would be too crazy."

Zhao Ma frowned, feeling that her precious daughter's next task was really difficult. She nodded and said, "The plastic bag is actually easy to check, but the suitcase is really hard to deal with. We can't just walk over and have someone open the suitcase to check it, can we? Besides, this bomb is controlled by humans. The moment I finished speaking, the bomb would probably explode."

While they were analyzing, the esteemed Penguin VIPs started watching the next episode, which was the final episode of tonight, the eighth episode of "The Beginning".

Many people felt heartbroken; it was about to end before it even reached its climax.

No.

Let's appreciate it while we can.

At the beginning of episode eight, a flash of white light appears, and Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun wake up on a bus.

This is their seventeenth cycle.

As soon as they woke up, the two, like netizens, started analyzing who the bomber was, and eventually identified the aunt in the blue shirt and the uncle with the suitcase.

They boarded the bus at the same bus stop, "Gangwu Xincun Station." In the previous sixteen cycles, no matter what kind of riots occurred, they seemed indifferent and unconcerned.

"When Grandpa Ma was distributing watermelons, it seems like only those two passengers didn't eat any," Li Shiqing recalled and said to Xiao Heyun.

This is a minor point of doubt.

The male and female protagonists decide to investigate these two people.

This time, it was Li Shiqing's turn to step forward. She nodded to Xiao Heyun and then stood up from her seat.

My first target—that woman.

She moved closer to the woman in the blue suit, and the drama queen Li Shiqing once again went into overdrive, with an embarrassed expression, and lied that she had started her period, asking the woman if she had brought sanitary napkins.

At the same time, she took the opportunity to open the plastic bag, only to find that it contained a pressure cooker.

The auntie said the pot contained stewed meat.

This aroused Li Shiqing's suspicion, and she sat back down in her seat with doubt.

"Who carries food in a pot when they go out? Don't people use insulated containers?" Li Shiqing expressed her doubts to Xiao Heyun.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heyun turned his head and said seriously, "We use a pot to hold meat at home."

Li Shiqing: ...
