Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Xingxing frequently visits her ex-boyfriend's mother, saying that she can't forget her ex-boyfriend.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye. Xingxing came to the tree and found that the tree was different. An old man who was taking shelter under the tree said that the tree had been struck by lightning and killed, and a young man had bought it and planted it again.

The old man relayed the young man's words, saying that someone would be sad if the tree died.

At this moment, the seemingly foolish and silly Niu Geng captivated Xingxing, but the phone call ended with the message: "The number you dialed is not in service."

She went to look for him, but couldn't find him.

She stood on the edge of the subway platform, hoping a pair of hands would pull her back, but instead she only managed a bitter laugh and a look of utter dejection.

This long segment can be considered the music video for "Fleeting Years." When Cheng Er was doing the post-production, he couldn't bear to cut a single line, and in the end, the song was completely inserted into this part of the story.

The piece blends lyrical pop with a touch of classical style. The melody is soothing yet subtly conveys emotional tension. Wang Fei's precise pronunciation and nuanced emotional control create an atmosphere that is both detached and deeply moving.

With her peak singing skills, Wang Fei conveyed this challenging emotion in a whispered manner. The gradual fading of the final line, "That year, changed my life," brought tears to the eyes of countless people.

People in the screening room suddenly realized that this was a song written by Yang Che. Combining this with the plot of Niu Geng writing the script and making the movie earlier, wow, it's based on a personal experience! No wonder it's so touching.

Film reporter Zhang Jiayu wrote a comment he had just thought of under the line with the character for "crying": "Immersing oneself in emotion is the highest realm of creation, and genuine feelings are an important magic weapon for a work."

Liu Feng, on the second floor, wondered: Who is the screenwriter's savage girlfriend?

Deng Jie also asked Fan Bingbing this question, because Fan Bingbing had told her that the stars were modeled after her.

"I blurted it out, don't mind it."

Fan Bingbing pouted: "It's okay, Sister Deng. It's just that he said he made it up. I think it must have some past experience involved. He's such a womanizer... cough, I mean, outstanding."

Deng Jie, with an air of knowing what she was doing, patted her hand but said nothing; after all, you can't offer advice on something like this. She simply looked at the screen and said, "Shouldn't I show my face now?"

"I don't think so, I haven't seen the finished film either."

Sure enough, Xingxing went to the restaurant to see her ex-boyfriend's mother again. Her aunt made an appearance, played by Deng Jie.

Three years have passed, and Xingxing has let go of the past.

She went to the restroom halfway through her day, and when she came back, she saw the man next to her ex-boyfriend's mother. She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes filled with tears.

It turns out that the person her ex-boyfriend's mother had been trying to introduce her to was Niu Geng.

In the wilderness of time, among millions of people, they went through a long and winding journey before finally finding each other.

As the background music of Canon in D major plays, the stars' tears fall.

The screen went black, and then the end credits appeared as the piano piece "I Believe" played again.

As the lights in the screening room gradually came on, Yanzi, wiping away her tears, subconsciously clapped her hands. Liu Feng, who was next to her, quickly followed suit, and the audience members next to him also began to clap. Gradually, the applause in the screening room became sparse, and then thunderous applause erupted.

Yang Che suddenly opened his eyes, sat up with a start, and was completely awakened by the muffled applause coming from the direction of the screening room and the piercing sound of the microphone being tested. He quickly stood up, rubbed his face, and then, ignoring the clothes that had fallen to the ground, strode out of the dressing room. As he walked to the side, he heard the host, Wang Lingling, ask with a laugh, "Was the movie funny?"

The audience erupted in cheers and laughter.

Wang Lingling then asked, "Were you moved?"

"move."

This time, the audience's voices were a little more unified.

Wang Lingling raised her voice a little louder: "Was the movie good?"

"nice."

The audience's voices were very synchronized this time.

Yang Che, who was secretly admiring Wang Lingling's hosting skills, had already entered the screening room through the side door. With a smile on his face, he walked back to his seat as more and more people in the guest seats paid attention to him.

Fan Bingbing was drooling as she read it. "Brother is so cool," she thought. "Yeah, that's right."

Wang Lingling glanced at Yang Che, who had just sat down, then looked at the audience: "Shall we invite the creative team behind this great movie to come up on stage?"

There shouldn't be that many this time; we can't let this go on forever.

Wang Lingling said nonchalantly, "Please welcome the film's directors Cheng Er, Song Xingxing (Fan Bingbing), Niu Geng (Huang Haibo), Li Ding, Zhu Ling, Xu Shaohua, Liu Wei, Deng Jie, and Yang Che to the stage."

"Clap clap clap clap clap"

Yang Che could hear that the applause was the loudest when Song Xingxing and Niu Geng were mentioned. What did that mean? Huang Haibo was about to become famous.

It was clear that Huang Haibo was very excited at that moment, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Looking at Little Fatty, she was much calmer.

Reporters who had interviewed Xiao Pang a long time ago but hadn't seen him recently were immediately impressed when they saw him. Wow, he's got star quality!

Wang Lingling smiled and said, "With so many reporters here, I won't ask any questions. Please take turns sharing your thoughts and feelings at this moment, starting with the director."

Cheng Er took the microphone, adjusted his glasses, and remained calm: "Well... when the two met at the end, and I heard the audience clapping and cheering with surprise, I felt like crying at that moment. I think I'll be able to get investment for my movies in the future."

"Ha ha."

The audience, giving face to this director they had never heard of, applauded enthusiastically.

At this moment, Cheng Er glanced at Yang Che, who was secretly wiping his eye boogers at the back of the line, and gave a rare smile: "Thank you, Brother Che. Thank you for taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with me at the roadside stall. Thank you for the courage I mustered when I volunteered to be your director. Thank you Haibo and Bingbing for their hard work. Thank you for the cinematographer Zhao Xiaoding. Thank you Liu Chang and the art director Lin Mu. I love you all. Thank you..."

Cheng Er became somewhat emotional as he spoke, and Yang Che smiled and clapped at him.

Backstage and audience alike applauded this rising star director.

Especially his teacher Hou Keming, everyone knows who the core of this film is, but that doesn't stop him from being happy to have Cheng Er as a student. After all, this is China, and a film director is a film director.

Cheng Er bowed to the audience and handed the microphone to Fan Bingbing.

Fan Bingbing bowed first: "Hello everyone, I'm Bingbing. Director Cheng and I have similar feelings because during the pre-screening interview, Yang Che said that my performance was barely passable. I was very sad at the time, until I heard a reporter friend say in the dark, 'Yang Che is talking nonsense, Fan Bingbing's performance was so good.' At that moment, I was so happy, haha."

Everyone on and off stage was laughing because Fan Bingbing was imitating what a reporter in the dark was saying.

Deng Jie blinked. She thought the reporter must be something Fan Bingbing had imagined, because she hadn't heard anything.

However, this beautiful girl is really well-suited for this industry, after all, her acting skills are much better now than in the movies.
