How did I become famous?

Chapter 166 No Need to Blow Up the Train (Two chapters, 8000 words total! Requesting monthly votes!)

The movie continues, followed by a lighthearted plot.

The two discovered they had swapped bodies and left messages for each other warning the other to be careful.

For example, the male protagonist's messages include "Don't flirt with girls casually," "Don't unconsciously go into the women's restroom," "Don't waste money," and "Don't get a promotion or a raise."

The female protagonist's messages were: "Just one day, don't take a shower," "Don't change clothes," "Don't eat or drink excessively," "Don't bully thugs," and "Don't get along so well with other girls, it will bother me."

Of course, neither of them kept their promise to the other.

Whenever the bodies are switched, Su Mulin still uses Fang Bie's body to do whatever she wants and cause trouble. She quits her job and starts her own business, which is very successful. This forces Fang Bie to learn all sorts of new knowledge after returning to her own body in order to avoid being exposed.

Su Mulin's body was equally impressive.

Fang used her status to dominate the school, becoming the school's most powerful figure, feared and loved by both men and women.

This meant that every time Su Mulin returned to her own body, she had to find a way to clean up the mess.

Laughter could be heard from the movie theater from time to time.

Because this is really interesting!

Watching Fang Bie and Su Mulin act like they have split personalities, sometimes masculine and sometimes feminine, then making a pact with each other but not following it, and then getting angry together again.

Besides laughing, the audience had only one thought in mind.

These two should get together already!

Wang Ming had already prepared a draft in his mind; this was a relatively interesting movie.

Although it's a youth romance film, it doesn't feature the bizarre "youth" plots of previous movies, such as abortion, promiscuity, clubbing, brothers stealing each other's love, and chaotic relationships.

It's simply about the interaction between the male and female leads.

Even their interactions are separate, and the male and female leads have never met.

But they are the people who understand each other best.

It sounds kind of romantic.

While the film is entertaining, it's ultimately just a brilliant coming-of-age romance, failing to fully showcase director Fang's past genius.

Perhaps it was because he was trying out a new film genre that Director Fang was slowly exploring it.

This is the film review that Wang Ming prepared to publish.

After conceiving the idea, Wang Ming calmed down and began to appreciate the film from the perspective of an ordinary viewer.

After all, this movie is really quite interesting, isn't it?

After that lighthearted storyline, just as the female lead is about to turn eighteen, the art style and music begin to change.

The story begins a day earlier.

One day earlier, on the very day the male lead was going on a blind date, the female lead transmigrated and swapped bodies. For some reason, she subconsciously ruined the male lead's blind date.

You know, she had previously encouraged him to go on blind dates.

The two had a fight via messages, and even said things like, "I wish we never had to switch bodies again."

The female protagonist is a rational person; she understands that the two of them are just two parallel lines that will never intersect.

That's why she had previously agreed to her father's request to choose her future fiancé at her eighteenth birthday party.

But it was only at this point that she realized she had already fallen for the male lead.

When she saw her blind date, she subconsciously felt a sense of disgust.

She didn't want the male lead's family to succeed in their blind date, so she subconsciously sabotaged it.

She likes the male lead.

They are the closest strangers.

They are the people who know each other best.

There are no barriers between them, they don't need to wear masks, and they even understand each other better than the other person does.

Understand the other person's strengths and weaknesses.

Moreover, they had long been accustomed to each other's presence.

The female protagonist realized her mistake.

She left many messages in her bedroom, expressing her feelings, her thoughts, and her apologies for ruining the blind date.

But just like the angry words they exchanged in the message that day, the two never exchanged lives again.

But the female lead, played by Su Murin, still has a way.

Although the two had agreed not to disturb each other's lives, she still secretly recorded the other's contact information and address.

Since they can't exchange lives, she will become a part of his life!

Today is her eighteenth birthday, but she made a bold decision!

She's going to run away from home to find him!

This was something she had never dared to imagine before.

But during this period of life-swapping, she changed the male protagonist a lot, and she was also changed a lot by the male protagonist.

Tonight, she's going to see him! To celebrate her eighteenth birthday with him!

So she secretly traveled to the city where the male protagonist lived.

On the other hand, the male lead, played by Fang Bie, has his blind date ruined.

He was indeed very angry at first, and he even went to drink with his friends to relieve his frustration.

At the dinner table, his friend asked him if he was in a relationship.

He denied it instinctively.

But the other person said he was too easy to guess; judging from his appearance, even if he wasn't in a relationship, he must have someone he liked.

The male protagonist was taken aback. Only then did he realize that he wasn't actually that angry.

He was angry at the time, but he was mainly angry at himself.

He actually liked the female lead, and he didn't want the blind date to succeed.

But he also felt that he and the female lead were on two parallel lines and would never have any interaction in the future, which is why he got angry.

But now, he understands.

So after thanking his inexplicable friend, he made a decision: he would go find that person.

Although the two had agreed not to bother each other, he still kept the female lead's contact information and address in mind.

When he called, the line went dead. He assumed the other party was angry, so he called his buddies to go and buy a gift, and they planned to take a plane to Beijing that very night.

The last shot is of him hearing someone knock on the door and opening it.

The next moment, the camera switched back to the female lead.

It must be said that although Liu Mang's storyboarding skills are not as good as Fang Bie's, he has excellent chemistry with Nie Fang and others.

The scenery along the way for the female protagonist to find the male protagonist—the distant views from the train, the sky, the earth, the mountains, the clouds and starry sky outside the airplane window—every frame is simply a painting!

The music, accompanied by some soothing drumbeats, creates an atmosphere as if anticipating something.

The music is like it's building up momentum.

Even the audience, who had been laughing and chatting, stopped and were involuntarily drawn to the entire large screen.

Then they arrived at the male protagonist's residence.

The familiar scenery and environment made the female protagonist's heart beat faster.

The music, with its distinct drumbeats, drew the audience into a tense atmosphere.

Then, the female protagonist took a deep breath and slowly knocked on the door.

The door opened.

But the character inside isn't the male protagonist; it's a stranger.

After the female lead said she wanted to find the male lead, he said he didn't know such a person.

The woman said she used to rent a place here.

The resident said she could contact the landlord and gave her the landlord's contact information.

After the female lead thanked him and hurriedly left, he muttered something to himself.

"I've lived here for three years. The last resident? I remember the last resident was already..."

At that moment, the audience suddenly had a bad feeling.

When the female protagonist found the landlord, their bad premonition came true.

This landlord does know the male protagonist, no, even the female protagonist herself knows this landlord!

Because the landlord was the guy who drank with the male protagonist before, but now he looks much older.

Although she didn't know why the female lead wanted to find the male lead, the landlord still told her where he was.

It turns out that the male protagonist has already passed away.

Just a few years ago.

Then the scene shifts back to when the male protagonist hears someone knocking on the door.

He opened the door, and the person who came in was the young landlord.

The two went shopping for gifts together, and after careful selection, the protagonist took a liking to a pendant necklace.

He imagined what the female lead would look like wearing this necklace and couldn't help but smile.

At this point, some of the more sensitive female viewers started sniffling.

Many people even became fans of Fang Bie's looks.

Because his smile is so gentle.

That look in his eyes, that expression—it couldn't be faked.

Then I boarded the plane, and then the plane crashed.

Finally, he took out the necklace, put it around his neck, held the pendant in his hands, and closed his eyes.

The camera pulls back.

The landlord took out the necklace and said that it was only found on the male protagonist's body.

The woman, with tears in her eyes, took the necklace. The landlord seemed to have noticed something and handed the necklace back to her.

The female protagonist returned home dejected.

It started snowing at that moment.

The camera constantly switches between distant shots, showing the female protagonist pulling her suitcase as she walks on the road, on a bridge, beside a train, and outside an airport.

The shots here are seamless, with the female lead in the same position and at the same angle.

Accompanied by somber music, many female audience members began to sob quietly.

The final shot focuses on the female lead's villa.

Her parents and brother, who had been searching for her all day, rushed over and hugged her, telling her it was good that she was back and that they wouldn't make her choose a fiancé anymore.

The female protagonist smiled and shook her head, saying nothing.

Then she looked up and watched the snowflakes fall from the sky.

Her own birthday is January 1st, and the male lead's birthday is December 31st.

Today is the male lead's birthday, and tomorrow is the anniversary of his death.

She reached out and caught a snowflake, silently uttering a single sentence.

"Happy birthday."

At midnight, she curled up on her bed in her bedroom, the pendant left by the male protagonist hanging around her neck.

She gripped the pendant tightly in both hands and hummed a birthday song softly.

As the clock struck twelve, she smiled and said, "Thank you for the birthday present. I appreciate your kindness. I like you too."

She closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.

The big screen went dark.

The sobbing of the girls around them gradually increased.

There were even sounds of several boys inhaling.

There were even whispered curses, cursing Fang Bie for being so cruel.

Wang Ming took off his glasses and wiped his wet eyes.

He was wrong; this is not a mediocre film.

This is an exceptionally good movie!

They traveled through time and swapped bodies, which meant they were separated by space.

But the person she swapped with turned out to be the male protagonist from several years ago!

This is after a period of time!

A love story separated by time and space is indeed a very good romance movie.

"This movie is rubbish."

Wang Ming turned his head and saw Fang Tangjing wiping away tears, her voice choked with sobs.

"This movie is terrible. I'm definitely giving it a low score."

But the movie isn't over yet.

The next moment, there was the roar of an airplane taking off and cutting through the wind.

Then, the big screen lit up.

It's the male lead's face.

He opened his eyes, panting heavily.

Although it's the male lead's face, Fang Bie's eyes and actions at this moment indicate that the female lead has time-traveled again!

He looked around and realized he was on an airplane.

He touched his chest; it was that pendant!

Soon, the female protagonist realized something. She found the flight attendant and told her about the possible malfunction of the plane.

At this moment, the prelude to music began.

The rapid prelude pulled the still sentimental audience back into the film.

After that, although the flight attendant was puzzled, she still chose to tell the captain what she had said.

So, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry, the captain and first officer began to check the condition of the aircraft.

They did indeed discover the problem.

Then came the tense moment. The flight attendant's voice came over the intercom, telling everyone to fasten their seatbelts as the plane was preparing for an emergency landing.

The female protagonist was gripping the armrest of the airplane seat tightly, and then suddenly, her right hand involuntarily rose up and grasped the pendant in front of her chest.

The female protagonist was stunned.

She suddenly burst into tears, raised her left hand and grasped her right hand, then held the pendant together.

The next moment, the plane shook violently, and a roaring sound came from behind.

The female protagonist opened her eyes and found herself in her bedroom.

She thought it was a dream.

The next day, she told her parents that she was going to go to university in a small city.

The parents agreed, and then took the whole family to that small town.

That city is the male protagonist's city.

After that, Liu Mang changed the script.

Because the original script crossed some lines, it didn't pass the review process after filming.

And so, several years passed in the blink of an eye.

There is no plot where the female lead discovers that the male lead's past friend is actually the male lead, or that the person in the photo with the male lead is the female lead.

A few years later, the protagonist, who is now almost thirty, is chatting casually with his buddy.

It turns out that the plane almost crashed a few years ago, but it made a safe emergency landing. He forgot his original purpose and returned to his hometown.

He was always feeling melancholy, and would occasionally take out the pendant necklace to look at it.

It seems he's going to see someone, but who is it?

I can't remember anymore.

Afterwards, he parted ways with his friends and walked alone in this small town full of flowers in April.

As the end credits rolled, the slightly melancholic music, combined with the male lead's expression that seemed both lost and nostalgic, gripped the hearts of many viewers.

Finally, as he passed a railway track that spanned the path, he brushed past a girl wearing a sun hat and a white dress.

The girl was also wearing a very familiar-looking pendant necklace.

Suddenly, the male protagonist remembered something and abruptly turned around.

At the same time, the girl turned around.

The next moment, a train roared past.

The music reached its climax.

"Damn it! Garbage movie! Garbage plot! Garbage storyline!" Fang Tangjing cursed angrily, "I'm going to blow up a train!"

He shouted loudly, but no one around him criticized him.

It's clear that everyone shares the same thought now.

On the screen, the male protagonist stood there quietly, waiting for the train to pass by.

Finally, the train roared past, revealing the girl in the white dress standing on the other side of the tracks.

The male protagonist suddenly felt his heart racing. He hesitated, then asked a question:

"Excuse me, what's your name? Have we met somewhere before?"

The girl looked up, revealing the female protagonist's face beneath her sun hat.

With tears streaming down her face, she gave a heartbreaking smile:

"finally found you."

(The movie content in this chapter should be read in conjunction with the previous section (Liu Mang's script). There are many detailed processes, which I have simplified here, otherwise it would seem like a padded movie plot, which would feel too watered down. So I'm assuming that everyone here has read the previous section.)

Please vote for me with monthly tickets!!!

Only a few days left in this month! Please help me stay in the top three in monthly ticket rankings!!!

These two chapters are only about 1000 words different from the third, so it feels like... reducing the number of updates from three to two won't make much difference...

However, it still looks better to update three times (actually, if we count 2000 words, it's already four updates).

In short, I'll adjust myself at the end of this month and gradually get back to my 9K daily update schedule.
