Run, Best Actor!

"You're kidding, right!"

College student Zhao Zheng couldn't help but say it aloud.

Today is Thursday, and normally there are classes at universities.

But is not skipping classes still a normal college life?

Moreover, Zhao Zheng is a loyal fan of Liu Taile, because Liu's story inspired him to get into his ideal university.

Because Liu Taile once frankly admitted that he was a poor student in his early years and couldn't do anything right.

Later, he discovered that he had some talent in sprinting, so he thought it would be good to accomplish something, and put all his energy into practicing sprinting.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. He really achieved results in sprinting and even stood on the Olympic stage, competing with the best in the world.

"I never thought I could get a place."

Liu Taile said in an interview at the time: "But what I think is that it's good to be able to run a little faster than yesterday's self. The most important thing for a person is to be able to constantly overcome yesterday's self."

Fortunately, the final outcome was good; I really accomplished something.

So I think everyone has this potential; as long as you don't give up, you'll eventually achieve something.

Liu Taile's words inspired Zhao Zheng, who hadn't been a great student back then.

Zhao Zheng also wanted to prove himself and make his parents and relatives proud of him, so he studied hard starting in his second year of high school and eventually got into a top-tier university, which surprised his classmates and relatives.

Hard work really can change your destiny!

Therefore, Zhao Zheng became a loyal fan of Liu Taile and kept a close eye on his activities.

Zhao Zheng was furious when Liu Taile was seriously injured by someone in a dirty trick during the Olympic Games.

When the other party crossed over to become an actor, he followed along and is now one of the members of the "Changle Gang".

But when Guo Fan said that the group had actually spent nearly two million to make a science fiction short film, it was hard to believe.

These days, domestic science fiction films are basically synonymous with bad movies, because those directors simply don't know how to make films on this subject.

But since it was a production starring their "gang leader" Liu Taile, Zhao Zheng still had a little bit of hope in his heart.

"Maybe our boss really can create a miracle?"

Zhao Zheng convinced himself of this.

In the live stream, after Guo Fan and others finished explaining, Wang Cong finally accepted this somewhat crazy news.

"OMG!"

The look of surprise on Wang Cong's face hadn't faded yet. "You guys really went crazy, spending so much money to make this short film!"

"Life is about trying new things!"

Liu Taile continued, "Fortunately, we have gathered a group of reliable friends. Brother Gong's script is imaginative enough, and Director Guo's directing skills are excellent enough."

Xiao Ge and Wang Ge's acting skills are both quite good, and Yu Ning's theme song singing is also decent, so we created this somewhat crazy short film.

"Brother Le forgot to mention himself."

Guo Fan interjected, "You'll see when everyone watches this short film; Brother Le's performance definitely elevates the entire production by at least one level!"

"Even more than that!"

Xiao Yang added, "When everyone can watch it, it's best to watch it several times. It's truly a performance that you can enjoy."

Anyway, after filming that scene, we all agreed that Brother Lok's acting skills were several levels above ours.

"That's right, that's right!"

Wang Taili also praised Liu Taile's performance highly, saying, "Anyway, everyone will know when they watch it that we're not just saying this to flatter Brother Le; his acting was truly excellent!"

The praise Liu Taile received from the group surprised Wang Cong and the audience watching the live stream.

"No way, that's an overstatement!"

Many people commented in the live chat.

"Exactly, you can't just brag like that because the other party is a big spender, can you?"

"What a ridiculous joke! You're saying an athlete from another field has better acting skills than someone with formal training? That's a huge exaggeration!"

"Anyway, the short film will be online soon, so let's all watch it together. If Liu Taile's acting is bad, we'll see if we don't criticize him."

……

This is probably part of the publicity.

Although it's a sci-fi film and there's praise for Liu Taile's acting skills, many people are starting to feel disgusted.

But it did indeed arouse the interest of more people in watching the movie.

So when Youku officially launched "The Thinker in a Wheelchair" at 10:00 AM, the playback was a bit choppy because so many people flooded in at once.

Fortunately, Youku.com is now a listed company with abundant funds and has long prepared backup ports.

The lag issue was quickly resolved with technical support.

And The Thinker also unveiled its mysterious veil to the public—

The plot of the short film is fairly standard, but it's quite funny because it makes good use of comedic elements.

Seeing Wang Xiang, who is already disabled, suffer another "severe blow" to his body and mind due to the various unreliable ideas of his two "well-meaning" but mischievous friends, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Especially the scene where the three steal melons, many people immediately realized that it was an adaptation of the story of Yu Hua and others. Watching Wang Xiang being surrounded by a group of vicious melon farmers, looking so pitiful, like a "chicken" being surrounded, many people burst out laughing.

Well, it's fair to say that many people's sense of humor is built on the suffering of others.

Besides, Yu Hua, that cheerful old man, really went too far.

His happiness is built on the "childhood trauma" of many people.

For example, he was listed as a "literary consultant" in the staff list of "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes", "Little Chef Fu Gui" and "Qiqi Keke's Adventure", all three of which were produced by Shonan Hongmeng Cartoon.

Although Yu Hua later stated at an event that he had not watched these animations and had not actually participated in their creation, but was merely lending his name to a friend.

However, since the endings of these animations are rather sad, and the protagonist's name in "Little Chef Fu Gui" is a homophone of "Fu Gui" in "To Live", many people speculate that Yu Hua influenced the plot.

Although that guy kept denying it.

Regardless, many people immediately gave a thumbs up when they saw Yu Hua and others' stories being used in this short film.

But the story is almost halfway through, and we haven't seen any sci-fi elements yet!

Fortunately, the relevant plot unfolded soon after.

After a thrilling wheelchair race for disabled people, a clip that was clearly CG animation was shown.

Seeing the grand scene of interstellar war, with the spectacular destruction of several planets with a single shot, many people exclaimed "Holy crap!"

What's going on? Without any warning, you suddenly raised your hand and zoomed in?!

But as expected of a production costing nearly two million, the special effects, the visuals, the quality, the background music... wow, if this continues, there's hope for Chinese cinema!

But the most amazing part is the last scene of the movie.

Looking at the scene, Liu Taile, who plays Wang Xiang, has one half of his face in the sunlight and the other half in the shadows, yet he displays different expressions at the same time. The barrage of comments was once again flooded with "Holy crap!"

Nearly thirty years after "Ji Gong", the "one face with two expressions" has reappeared in the domestic film and television industry!

But the fact that it was Liu Taile, a crossover actor, who delivered this performance is truly astonishing!

But basically, anyone, whether inside or outside the industry, who sees this scene will feel their scalp tingle.

With just this one shot, this short film is complete!
