Liang Shuang held his son's hand and walked out of the cinema.
Like the audience that came out during the premiere, most of the fans who followed had red eyes and were moved by the plot, but they were also extremely excited. They were chatting about Zhou Yang, the ending, and the second part.
.
The ending of "Counterattack" ended at the moment when "The Mine Bottom" won the award in Berlin and Zhou Yang took the stage.
The audience on the screen was applauding and congratulating this young Chinese director who came out of nowhere and conquered them with his movies.
Fans outside the screen also stood up unconsciously, shed tears of emotion, and clapped along, paying tribute to the ups and downs along the way that can destroy almost anyone.
The sun is shining brightly at noon.
In the distance, several scalpers were still shouting for movie tickets for "Counterattack."
Because it's not a premiere, and there's no Zhou Yang coming over to do the stunt, the movie tickets for "Counterattack" are a lot cheaper, from the initial price of 500 yuan to 200 yuan...
Five hundred yuan, it was reduced to two hundred yuan in two hours.
Liang Shuang felt a little disparate in his heart, but he didn't regret it. He just looked at the scalpers with some confusion, wondering what methods these scalpers used to get the tickets, and even suspected that the scalpers had something to do with the ticket sellers of the theaters.
But this was obviously not what he was thinking about.
"Let's go back and eat. Let's eat some instant noodles on the way to deal with it?"
The newly opened theater chain Xingyang is very lively.
Even during lunch time, the entire theater was still packed with people. After Liang Shuang looked at the restaurant next to him that was full of people, he lowered his head and glanced at his son.
The son nodded obediently, but held his hand very tightly.
The love between father and son in the movie is described very seriously, and the overall tone is full of dark and hazy colors. Paired with the low violin music, the words "separation between life and death" and "the son wants to be raised but cannot be kissed" are vividly rendered. In addition, it is very simple.
, but with heart-wrenching lines, it is easy for movie fans to become involved in it and unable to extricate themselves.
After reading it, Liang Shuang's son Liang Man realized for the first time that in this world, the only closest relative to him was his father, and he vaguely understood what maturity meant.
After leaving the crowded crowd and getting in the car to have something to eat, the father and son began their return journey.
Liang Shuang felt a little dull in the car for no reason, so he turned on the car radio.
【Where is the world full of flowers?
If it really existed then I would definitely go
I want the highest mountain to stand there...]
The radio was playing "Chasing Dreams", which Zhou Yang sang with heartbreaking emotion. The melody was passionate and high-pitched, full of explosive roaring power.
Liang Shuang suddenly realized that "Chasing Dreams" was very consistent with the theme of the movie "Counterattack"...
In the face of repeated failures and desperate blows, he did not bow to fate, but faced the wind and rain and moved forward step by step.
Perhaps, this was the voice that roared out when Zhou Yang was in trouble!
Liang Shuang had such an idea in his mind.
As he listened, he suddenly saw the co-pilot's son, Liang Man, crying inexplicably again.
"What's wrong?"
He glanced at it in surprise.
"I thought of the plot of "That Year of the Rabbit" and the first lesson of the Chinese language class "The Golden Fish Hook"...it was very sad..."
"I want to be a soldier, I want to protect my family and my country!"
It’s hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of a teenage boy. What’s even harder to believe is that when this teenage boy said this, his eyes were full of determination like an adult’s.
For a moment, Liang Shuang thought that his son had changed again...
Immediately, Liang Shuang remembered that his son, who had never known what food was, actually ate everything last night for the first time in his life.
this moment……
He had mixed feelings in his heart.
Vaguely, the image of that young man in ordinary clothes and humble to the core emerged in his mind again.
I originally thought I was helping him, but now I realize that I was helping myself.
…………………………
A gust of wind blew.
The wind chimes in the office made a crisp sound.
An Xiao glanced at the wind chime, and then noticed Zhou Yang's desk.
The company has moved to another location.
But the furnishings in the office have not changed much, and even this desk is still my original desk.
After taking a look, she sat opposite Zhou Yang again, like an old friend. She chatted with Zhou Yang about some recent developments, the arrangements of relevant departments for the second half of the year, the National Day schedule, and next year's plans.
Olympic Games.
An Xiao felt that time passed quickly...
Two hours seemed very short, as if it passed by my fingertips in just an instant.
Over the past two years, everyone has actually been changing subtly. Zhou Yang has become more mature. He always speaks and listens with a bit of calmness and thinking, but those dark eyes are very deep, so profound.
It makes people wonder what he is thinking...
But he was still very serious. He held a notebook and carefully recorded all the contents and topics she told him using the most primitive method, and expressed some opinions about himself.
correct!
His maturity seems to be not only in appearance and behavior, but also in his views on things and his unique insights into the future.
When chatting with Zhou Yang, An Xiao always feels like chatting with an older and experienced middle-aged man.
This was the first time such an idea appeared in her mind.
Looking at Zhou Yang who lowered his head and recorded something, the plot of the movie "Counterattack" appeared in An Xiao's mind unconsciously.
When the movie premiered, she was there in person and watched it from beginning to end while wearing a mask.
After An Xiao, who had always been very cold-hearted, saw those past experiences again, she found that she still felt extremely sad and couldn't control her tears no matter how hard she tried.
An Xiao, who already knows the ending, will still applaud his success and burst into tears after seeing Zhou Yang on the big stage of the Berlin International Film Festival.
Zhou Yang, who seems ordinary, actually has countless attractive shining points hidden in him, just like a treasure boy.
The wind chime by the window continued to ring.
"'Spider-Man' is an attempt at our company's superhero series IP. It is a big project in an independent universe..."
"Although the background of "Spider-Man" is based on the United States, there are many Chinese elements in the movie. If the "Spider-Man" project is successful, I hope to rely on some Chinese elements and then extend our own "mythical universe"
"..."
"In fact, our own mythological universe is very mature as a whole and has an independent system. For example, Nezha, Jiang Ziya, Sun Wukong... They are actually very complete and mature IPs. When our own film industry process matures,
You can try screenwriting and adaptation..."
"Of course, we have to eat step by step. We must first compete with Hollywood blockbusters, then reach parity, and then surpass. There is a long way to go..."
"..."
The sound of wind chimes became more and more pleasant.
Zhou Yang faced An Xiao and began to talk in a very organized manner, without any concealment, about Huaxing Company's arrangements and ideas for the film.
An Xiao was a little lost in thought. After Zhou Yang finished speaking, An Xiao was still looking at Zhou Yang in a daze.
However, fortunately, she had a cold temperament and looked like an icy beauty when she was in a daze, so Zhou Yang didn't feel anything strange.
"Very good. If you need any help, please call me anytime." An Xiao looked away and nodded with a smile.
The snow melts like the warm sunshine in spring.
"I will." Zhou Yang also nodded, very seriously and solemnly.
Immediately, the office suddenly became quiet.
It seemed that apart from work, there was nothing else the two parties could talk about in this office. This meeting was on the verge of ending.
"I have some things to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
"No."
An Xiao stood up and left.
After Zhou Yang watched An Xiao leave, he hesitated for a moment, and then the sense of maturity on his face began to disappear again. He scratched his head as if he was thinking about something.
When An Xiao is about to leave...
Zhou Yang finally walked over.
"Mr. An..."
"Um."
"Recently, I have been reading some books about emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication, and I have learned something. Then I put it into my own situation. I thought about it for a long time. I felt that I had a strange premonition in my heart, and I was afraid that it would be embarrassing if I said it.
But even if I don’t say it out loud, I still feel panicked in my heart...I always want to verify whether my feelings are correct..."
When talking about the future of the company, every word Zhou Yang said was coherent and every word was full of conviction.
but……
When he said these words and stood in the middle of the office, Zhou Yang suddenly became at a loss and became so nervous that he seemed to have returned to the mine two years ago.
"What do you want to say?" An Xiao turned around and looked at Zhou Yang doubtfully.
She saw that Zhou Yang's face was very red and he seemed a little shy, but his eyes were looking at her very firmly.
"When I first met you, I thought you were a very noble boss who I looked up to. I respected you but also felt a little indescribable fear. I couldn't even breathe in front of you... Later, gradually, I started to work with you.
After spending more time together, I began to feel that you seemed very approachable... Then, since that day when I was buried alive, the first person that flashed in my mind was you. At first, I felt that I should not take such a risk, and that I should help you.
, I couldn’t die at that time, but after experiencing some things and reading some books, I felt that it didn’t look like..."
"..." An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang who was speaking seriously.
Somehow, she suddenly felt her heart tremble, but the expression on her face remained calm.
But she felt inexplicably panicked in her heart, and her beating heart made her breathless.
"Mr. An, I...is it possible for us?" Zhou Yang suddenly asked this question.
"What's possible?"
"Mr. An, I like you, I am sure, I like..."
Just when Zhou Yang had gathered all his courage and was about to speak properly.
Outside the house, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Yang's courage suddenly shrank back, and the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward for a moment.
"Come in."
"Mr. Zhou, our "Infernal Affairs" has been shortlisted for Venice! We have been shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival!"
Xu Mei rushed in excitedly, her voice shaking the whole room.
"You work first, I'll leave first..."
Zhou Yang watched An Xiao turn around and leave the office.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted……
After hearing the news that "Infernal Affairs" was shortlisted, Zhou Yang found that he was not happy at all, but felt a little disappointed.
Dudu.
The cell phone text message rang.
He subconsciously took out his cell phone.
Then...
[Don’t forget to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival].
