The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the capital of Anhui Province, and Great Nanjing!
In the evening, a bus drove slowly from the urban area to the east of the city and stopped at Xianlin University Town, a newly developed area in Qixia District.
As soon as the door opened, Zhang Xiaowu jumped down.
He is a student at Nanjing University of Finance and Economics. He is in his first semester. The school moved here last year and the first batch of experimental products were produced as a freshman.
Nowadays, university towns are being built all over the country, and there are a lot of benefits. People don’t understand them, so they know that there is another place to do business.
One university can stimulate many service industries.
A university town not only drives the service industry, but also construction, logistics, commerce and even real estate.
But for students, the experience is not so pleasant. University towns have a common characteristic - they are all very remote, with incomplete supporting facilities and a lack of entertainment. To watch a movie or rent an apartment, you have to go into the city.
Zhang Xiaowu just came back from watching a movie. He didn't go to school. He bought a pound of shaomai and went to the only Internet cafe nearby.
After turning on the phone, the first thing was to click Qianqianjing to listen, the second thing was to log on to QQ, and the third thing was to log on to Maiwo, which was taught by his cousin.
His cousin's name is Jiang Chao.
When I entered, I first went to the [Reviews] section. The home page recommended the latest movies, and sure enough, there was "The Sign of Love" that I had just watched.
This is what Zhang Xiaowu likes about the community. The dynamic updates in all aspects are very timely, and some of them even have websites listed. Netizens still don’t understand what’s going on. Only after a few days do they realize, oh, this is popular now!
"Call for Love", directed by Wang Jing, starring Carina Lau, Yin Zhu, Cecilia Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Edison Chen, etc.
It has been released for less than a week, and currently more than 800 people have rated it, with a score of 5.5.
Zhang Xiaowu scored a three-pointer, obviously not happy, and then wrote a comment:
"This movie is like a hodgepodge, with beautiful women, shit and piss, saltiness and wetness, and shadows of other movies.
It is mixed and served by a chef who is not very skilled but knows how to prepare a table. You generally can't taste anything good, but you are occasionally impressed by a piece of abalone inside. After eating it, you feel that you have spent your money in vain.
1 point for Tony Leung Ka-fai, 1 point for Zhu Yin, and 1 point for Wang Jing, who works tirelessly to make bad movies.
Highly not recommended!”
After I finished writing it, I looked at other people’s comments. Some criticized it, some said it was okay, but there were no praises, so it can only be considered average.
He returned to his personal space and looked at the [Classmate List] in high school. There were three more people, almost all of them. After graduating from high school, he was running around, and some people really lost contact. Zhang Luo, the class monitor, was just in the [Classmate List].
Record] Reunion.
Then, Zhang Xiaowu clicked on [Topic Group] again.
He is a new user and doesn't know it. Like his cousin Jiang Chao, who grew up with Maiwo, he knows the history: there used to be a BBS in the community, but it was later revised and embedded in the personal space and became a [topic group].
[Screen Light and Shadow] is one of the largest groups, with more than 100,000 people, discussing film and television.
Zhang Xiaowu clicked in and happened to see a post about "Sign Up for Love" and said: "I was very disappointed after watching it, and I can't describe it. Anyway, I always felt that it was different from previous Hong Kong movies.
From a comedy perspective, it's not as funny as before.
From a story point of view, it is very scattered and pieced together.
From the perspective of an actor, Zhu Yin gave me the most obvious impression. The Zhu Yin in my impression is the innocent school girl who was astonished by the world in "Fight Back to School 2", and the Zixia whom I have loved all my life in "Journey to the West". But now She actually gave me a sense of femininity, and I didn't mean any disrespect.
I just want to say that Zhu Yin has lost her aura, and she no longer has the charm to move people’s hearts with her every frown and smile.”
There are comments below:
"There's nothing to worry about. If you think Zhu Yin is feminine, that's because she's almost middle-aged! She's 33 years old, you can't ask her to be the same as she was when she was 23, right?"
"WHAT??? Zhu Yin is already 33 years old?"
"I'm also shocked. I just reviewed "Westward Journey" yesterday. Oh my God, the more I think about it, the scarier it becomes. I can't accept it."
"Is it such an exaggeration? 33 is still very young. You won't get any younger?"
"It's not that we won't grow old, it's just that we like to stay in that light and shadow. In fact, it has nothing to do with the actors, it's our own problem."
"Don't talk about Zhu Yin. Wang Jing will be 50 next year. It's too hard to ask a 50-year-old to make young people laugh. I feel that his creative peak has passed and he has nothing new. He is just copying the wisdom of others.
I was so embarrassed when I watched "Sign Up for Love" because it was all old jokes from the past."
"..."
Zhang Xiaowu was born in 1985. He also grew up watching Hong Kong movies and was deeply touched by it. There is no Baidu Encyclopedia now, but he is a senior movie fan and has information about various stars at his fingertips. He replied:
"Brigitte Lin is 50, Angie Chiu seems to be 51, Joey Wong is 37, Michelle Reis is 34, Rosamund Kwan seems to be 42, I can't remember exactly, Vivian Chow is 37, and Gigi Gigi is already 33!
When female stars reach this age, their works will become less and less, and we won’t see them at all in the future. Don’t talk about them, aren’t we, the people in our group, also grown up and working?”
This sentence was posted and quickly attracted a large number of replies.
"Damn it, if you didn't tell me I really didn't pay attention, wuwuwu... The bathtub scene in Rosamund Kwan's "Summer Star" was my sexual enlightenment. I was 42 in the blink of an eye!"
"This is heartbreaking. I always thought I was still 18 years old. Delete it quickly!"
"It is true that in recent years, their works have become less and less, but there are more and more female stars from the mainland."
"What's there in the mainland? Everyone is as rustic as a firewood girl. Who can compare to me, Wang Zuxian?"
"You can't say that. Chen Hong, Jiang Qinqin, and He Qing are all pleasing to the eye!"
"Yes, the recent newcomers are also good. The one who plays Wang Yuyan in "Dragon" is called Liu Yifei. I think it is good-looking. There is also the new version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" with Zhou Zhiruo, which I think is also good-looking. Of course, Zhao Min is the most beautiful!"
"There are quite a lot of them in the Mainland. Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Xu Jinglei, and Dong Xuan all have their own characteristics. It's just embarrassing to comment on the four little actresses."
"Who is Dong Xuan? Send a picture to see."
So someone posted a still from "Snowflake Goddess Dragon".
"I haven't seen it. Where was it broadcast?"
"I watched it on Shanghai TV."
"Snowflake Goddess Dragon" premiered at the end of last year. It didn't get a star and it hasn't spread yet. Everyone watched it together. Some thought Dong Xuan was good, while others thought it was just average.
Unconsciously, more and more people joined.
There are more and more photos of female celebrities from all walks of life. Old users feel a little strange. Although [Screen Light and Shadow] is a big topic group, it has never been as noisy as it is today. It seems that hundreds of thousands of people have poured in.
You like this, I hate that, they are laughing and joking, or scolding each other, it's so lively.
A group of people in their 20s, or at most 30s, chatting here.
They did not feel that they were old, nor did they feel that a certain period of time was passing by inadvertently. They mentioned the 1990s and their childhood as if it was yesterday.
Rather than being as exhausted as ten years later, burdened with their own pressures every day, even surfing the Internet has become a very luxurious private time.
Zhang Xiaowu has argued with a person for hundreds of floors just to decide "who is more beautiful, Michelle Reis or Rosamund Kwan".
He was high-spirited and full of energy. He experienced a wonderful pleasure in the argument. He swallowed the last shaomai and typed:
"Brother, neither of us can convince the other. Michelle Reis and Rosamund Kwan are the two most powerful people, right?"
"The two peerless prides can do it, it's a tie!"
"Yeah, yeah, tie, tie!"
The two cherished each other, and at the end Zhang Xiaowu sighed: "In fact, there are so many beauties, each with their own aesthetics, and it is difficult to unify them. It would be great to have a similar opinion."
This statement was echoed by everyone. On this ordinary night, no one thought there was anything strange, but little did they know that it was already unfolding silently according to a script.
The Internet has memory, and memory generates history.
And history can be made up.
A few days later, when Zhang Xiaowu came to the Internet cafe to stay up all night again, he clicked on the wheat nest, stared blankly, and gave the same compliment as many people:
