Chapter 536 Cage

Chapter 537 The Cage (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the morning of March 21, Mu Zi and her best friend Liu Bing were already waiting at home.

The production team didn't give any advance notice, but Ye Xian informed her in advance that the movie had finished filming and that the trailer and theme song were now available, and that she could decide for herself whether to watch them.

Mu Zi was stronger than Ye Xian had imagined. Although she still looked a little haggard, her spirits had improved considerably.

That vicious man was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

This outcome is a happy one for everyone; although the death penalty was not imposed, it is still a relatively good result.

"here we go!"

Liu Bing perked up and quickly placed his phone in front of the two of them, while Mu Zi also snapped out of her thoughts.

The promotional video begins with Ye Xian, dressed in a white shirt, lying on a beach chair.

The dim allure of that light in the deep sea

She thought she could grasp the bubble called love.

Human hearts are unpredictable, obscure, and as dark as ink.

How to predict and understand the outcome of the story?

... "

Deng Qiqi, dressed in a red dress, sat gracefully on a chair with golden snakes carved on the two armrests.

With fiery red lips and a red dress, Deng Qiqi is no longer the tough-lung loli, but has transformed into a stunning beauty.

[Brother Xian gave our Qiqi a new song so quickly? Sure enough, among the three newcomers, Brother Xian likes Qiqi's singing the most!]

[This promotional video is so creepy! Especially the white cage; when Kiki is standing inside it, it looks so terrifying!]

[This is a tragic story about a husband killing his wife, and I don't see anything wrong with the atmosphere. It's just that Kiki's makeup is so stunning. Did Kiki finally realize that she's quite attractive?]

[What does "quite attractive" mean? It means being naturally beautiful, okay? But Qiqi sang this song really well, especially the second line, which echoes her song "Bubble." She truly lives up to her reputation as my brother Xian!]

……

Upon seeing the white cage in the deep sea, Mu Zi's previously calm face suddenly turned terrified. Liu Bing was startled and quickly turned off her phone screen, then hugged Mu Zi, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, it's all over now."

After taking a few deep breaths, Mu Zi's body went a little limp: "Let's keep watching. I need to overcome my fear, otherwise the more uncomfortable I am, the happier he will be."

Seeing that Mu Zi had regained her strength, Liu Bing felt a little relieved this time.

Open your phone, and the chorus begins.

Why does dazzling beauty leave us empty-handed?

Why do those who love me give me a cage?

Why is waiting all in vain?

Why are prisoners like trapped beasts?

... "

Deng Qiqi's voice suddenly rose, sounding like a series of heart-wrenching questions, and Mu Zi's heart clenched at that moment.

She questioned the man in her dreams more than once, but never received an answer.

She didn't dare confront him in real life, afraid of seeing his once intimate but now unfamiliar and vicious face again.

She would never forget the moment when the oxygen tube was cut, and how she helplessly and fearfully reached out to grab him, only to have him leave without looking back. He even kicked her in an attempt to get rid of her.

As the song goes: "The more precious, the more wasted; fatal wounds are born from intimacy."

This song perfectly captures her helplessness: "The more you ask, the less you understand. There are no answers, only curses, all trapped in a cage."

At this point, the barrage of comments had become incredibly dense.

These lyrics are chilling! Often, the hurt from those we love most is the most painful.

When you treat someone with your whole heart, only to receive a knife in return, probably no one can withstand such betrayal and hurt! My heart aches for Mu Zi; how helpless must she have felt back then?

[Xian Ge's outfit here looks a bit gloomy, completely different from his usual bright image. Wearing the same white shirt, the Xian Ge in the short video is cheerful and positive, but the Xian Ge in this trailer looks rather somber.]

[Speaking of which, if Brother Xian can act well in this movie, he can completely shed the labels of "traffic star" and "internet celebrity"! You know, after "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was released, many people said that Brother Xian could only act in popcorn comedies at best, which made me so angry!]

……

Seeing people cheering her on in the comments brought a touch of warmth to Mu Zi's otherwise painful and numb heart.

There are still many good people in the world.

The scene changes, and some intense plot conflict clips are shown. Before seeing the whole movie, no one can guess how the plot will develop. But when everyone sees the two figures surfacing from the seabed at the end, everyone understands that this must be the ending of the nightmare that Mu Zi experienced.

Mu Zi stared blankly at this scene, lost in thought. Suddenly, she remembered that in the cold seabed, a warm embrace had appeared beside her and pulled her out of hell.

"I really want to thank Brother Xian!"

Mu Zi muttered to herself.

Liu Bing wholeheartedly agreed, "Indeed, without Brother Xian, you wouldn't be where you are today. Why not repay him with your body?"

Mu Zi was startled and snapped out of her daze. Seeing her best friend's teasing expression, she couldn't help but laugh as well: "What are you talking about? You think you can offer yourself to me? It's not my turn yet!"

Liu Bing also laughed: "Brother Xian played a trick, suppressing his official announcement with several trending topics. I just don't know if he can keep up with all those rumored girlfriends."

The two chatted and laughed, seemingly forgetting that nightmarish afternoon.

……

With her song "Cage", Deng Qiqi quickly rose to the top of the TikTok Hot Songs Chart, and she also began to break into the mainstream, no longer being a case of "the song is popular but the singer is not".

The theme song of "The Vanished She" quickly became popular, and many people learned that Ye Xian's new movie was about to be released.

The focus of attention on this film is largely on Ye Xian's transition from popcorn comedy movies to suspense and crime films, which demands entirely different acting skills and is definitely not on the same level. Even with Ye Xian's previous role as Jia Baoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber," many people are still worried about whether he can handle this kind of role.

Judging from the promotional video, Ye Xian's character has a dark style, which requires Ye Xian to have a deeper understanding of the character's inner world.

The hashtag #Is Ye Xian's acting good or not# quickly gained traction, and online trolls and haters naturally seized the opportunity. However, the "night snack group" was not to be underestimated either, and the two sides continued to spar about this topic, indirectly boosting the popularity of "The Vanished She".

That's how it is in the entertainment industry and the fan circle; sometimes, the more you're criticized, the more popular you become.

Everyone is questioning whether Ye Xian's new movie is good or not, and many people are also preparing to go to the cinema just to have some fun.

Don't you all say his acting is bad?

I just wanted to see just how bad his acting really was.
