Chapter 456 He always looks forward to seeing Shen Zhichu tomorrow

As the New Year countdown approaches, the hospital turns on the television to make the deserted ward more lively.

The nurse looked at the man lying on the hospital bed holding a mobile phone. He must be calling his sweetheart. His eyes were tender and his fingers were shaking slightly because of the nervous waiting.

The call was made, and the other party picked up the phone not long after it was connected. He opened his dry lips and whispered seven words: "Chen Zhichu, Happy New Year."

He held the phone close to his ear and listened carefully, fearing that he would miss anything. He didn't even want to miss the sound of Shen Zhichu's breathing.

He could hear the chime from the phone, overlapping with the host's countdown on TV.

After a while, Bai Qiujing's voice was heard on the phone amid the explosion of fireworks.

——"I wish Shen Zhichu good health, happiness, and all his wishes come true in the new year."

His chest hurt so much that Li Jingshen should have covered his aching heart, but when he raised his hand he unconsciously covered his ears.

It was useless to cover it up, because the phone had already been hung up, and he didn't even hear Shen Zhichu's voice.

"Sir?" After an unknown amount of time, the nurse saw Li Jingshen holding the phone without any response and called him tentatively.

Li Jingshen came back to his senses, but his body was as stiff as a puppet as he looked up at the nurse standing in front of the bed.

"Um...are you done with your call?"

"I'm done." Li Jingshen released her hand and returned the phone to her. "Thank you."

"It's okay. If you want to fight again in the future, just tell me."

Li Jingshen just shook his head and said nothing. He would not borrow her phone to call again because he knew that if Shen Zhichu received this call, she would put him on the blacklist.

He called Shen Zhichu today, not expecting to hear what Shen Zhichu said. He just wanted to say Happy New Year to Shen Zhichu at that time in the early morning, that's all.

He and Shen Zhichu have been together for so long, but they have never spent the New Year together. In the past, he didn't go home and left her alone at home. Later, Shen Zhichu became a vegetable in the hospital. On the following Christmas, he got engaged to Xia Mingyue and left her alone at home, which became her memorial day.

Seeing that the medicine was almost finished, the nurse changed the bag, marked a column on the list, and found the medicine from it and handed it to Li Jingshen.

"Take the medicine."

It was inconvenient for Li Jingshen to take medicine while he was on an IV drip. When the nurse was about to get some water, he had already thrown the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it directly into his throat.

The medicine that has been chewed is the most bitter. People say that after suffering comes happiness, but this kind of suffering will never end, just like Chen Zhichu will never come back.

The nurse always felt the endless sorrow in the eyes of the man in front of her. It was a more painful existence than being close to death, just like the stars in the night disappearing one by one. Some people live on in people's hearts even after they die, while some people seem to be dead while they are alive. They try to disappear, but no one really cares.

The nurse brought a glass of water to Li Jingshen.

"Thank you." Li Jingshen took it and drank the whole glass of water but still couldn't wash away the bitterness in his mouth.

"Have a good rest. Ring the bell if you need anything."

"Um."

The nurse looked at him deeply and left the ward pushing the medicine cart.

Li Jingshen was the only one left in the huge ward, and the entire corridor was silent.

At this time, everyone was celebrating the New Year, even the patients in the hospital were no exception. Only Li Jingshen was alone in the ward with no one to accompany him.

There is a saying that goes, if you decide to open your heart, you must be prepared to have your heart broken.

You know what will never let you down? Disappointment.

New Year's Eve concerts have become increasingly unsatisfactory in recent years. Li Jingshen closed his eyes, wanting to sleep but unable to. He wanted to throw away the messy thoughts in his mind, but the more he restrained himself from thinking about them, the clearer he thought about them. He even remembered those things that were buried deep in his memory and that he wanted to forget the most.

………

The nurse saw that he was depressed and wanted to comfort him.

"Mr. Li, think more positively. When a person is sad, even one day of happiness is still a day. So why not live the rest of your life unhappy? If you do this...it will only make your condition worse."

Li Jingshen also wanted to be happy, but the word "happy" seemed more and more unfamiliar to him.

"Today is the first day of the new year."

With the first day, there will be tomorrow. He is not looking forward to himself tomorrow, he only looks forward to seeing Shen Zhichu's tomorrow.

The windows in the ward were tightly closed. Li Jingshen looked at the sky outside and counted the days. This was the twenty-fourth day of his hospitalization. He had been admitted to the hospital after leaving "Quanshui Bay" that night.

There was no snow in Chengdu this year. The wintersweets outside were in bloom and looked fragrant, but he couldn't smell it.

…….

Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing didn't stay in Haidu for long before returning to Rongcheng.

The crews of "Changmen Hen" played by Shen Zhichu and "Who is the Ghost" are progressing very quickly, especially the money for "Who is the Ghost" was used in post-production.

The trailer surprised netizens as soon as it came out. The effect was unexpectedly good, the pictures were exquisite, the sound effects were online, and the story was quite attractive. The most attractive thing was the acting skills of Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing. Because of the movie, the audience was immediately immersed in the plot.

But there are still people who are not optimistic about it. Nowadays, there are many movies with well-made promotional videos that trick people into going to the cinema, but after watching them, they feel like they have eaten a pile of shit.

It's nothing more than a big gimmick with little impact, and it depends on the audience of the first batch of experiments.

But it is undeniable that the combined number of fans of Bai Qiujing and Shen Zhichu alone can generate hundreds of millions in box office revenue, which will not cause the film to lose money, but it will greatly reduce its reputation.

The movie piqued everyone's interest, and finally "Who is the Ghost" was scheduled to be released during the summer vacation prime time.

At the same time, the fantasy film "Yunqi" was also scheduled to be released on the same day.

[The Rise of the Clouds] is a big production costing 300 million yuan. The shooting time is longer than that of [Who is the Ghost]. There are many big-name actors in it, and the director Liu Dao has won a gold award before.

It is worth mentioning that the leading actress in "Yunqi" is Lin Qi, who played the third female role in "Changmenghen". Her agency has a lot of money and invested a lot of money, and her acting skills are not bad either.

Chen Zhichu and Lin Qi had no conflicts. They only auditioned for the third female role together on the audition day. Lin Qi successfully got the role, but she skipped the level and got the second female role. Obviously, Shen Zhichu had fewer scenes than her, but her ranking was higher than hers.

Lin Qi was secretly dissatisfied with Shen Zhichu but did not express it. After seeing the ending of Xia Yanyue and Zheng Xiuxiu, she knew that Shen Zhichu was not easy to mess with. Besides, so many people in the crew liked Shen Zhichu. There was no need for her to fight against others and ruin her reputation because of a few dissatisfied words.

Lin Qi didn't dare to say anything openly and could only compete secretly. Finally, the company got her the big-budget fantasy drama "Yunqi".

She was determined to step on Shen Zhichu, and she would never be higher than her since Shen Zhichu took over the bad movie "Who is the Ghost".

Lin Qi admitted that she couldn't compare to Shen Zhichu in terms of acting skills and looks, but when it comes to acting in movies, box office is king.

How good can a movie that everyone is now criticizing be? I guess the only people who went to see it were fans of Bai Qiujing.

Many marketing accounts compare "The Legend of Yun Qi" and "Who is the Ghost". First of all, "The Legend of Yun Qi" is one step ahead in terms of screening schedule.

In the domestic market, horror movies have not received a good response. After all, they cannot compare with foreign ghost movies, and not everyone has the courage to watch them. But fantasy movies are different. Nowadays, young people go to the cinema, and the box office is decided by these people.

And "The Rise of the Clouds" is a big IP production, and it is adapted from a best-selling domestic male novel, which represents the youth of many young people. Many people will watch it for the sake of sentimentality, and I think the box office of the movie will not be too bad.

Before the movie was even released, some people had already started buying notices to criticize the crew of "Who is the Ghost?"

The gap in cinema screening rates has reached an alarming level.

The screening rate of [Yunqi] is as high as 45%, while that of [Who is the Ghost] is only 15%.

[Yunqi] was released first, and many people bought tickets to watch it in the cinema. They went in happily but came out cursing.

So on the first day, [Yunqi] scored 5 points, not even reaching the passing line.

"You've made a gimmicky change. You don't understand what the director is trying to say. Can't you just adapt it honestly? I'm not just making it up randomly."

"I've never seen such awful special effects before. They're incredibly eye-catching. The actors' acting is average. There are quite a few veteran actors holding the stage, but it makes Lin Qi's acting look so poor."

"The worst Xianxia drama in history. I originally watched it for the sentimentality, but I didn't expect it to be so changed that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it."

"The so-called excellence of [Yunqi] is in the trailer. Yes, that one or two minutes of the trailer is the most exciting part of the entire movie."

"This is the first time I've slept so comfortably in a movie theater. Not bad, not bad. I plan to record the movie next time and listen to it as a lullaby every night."

"Thank heaven and earth, thank Bai Qiujing for not taking this drama, and thank Director Liu for letting Lao Bai go."

The screening rate of "The Rise of the Clouds" on the first day was indeed high. The film producers spent a lot of money on publicity. As soon as you enter the cinema, the big screen is full of publicity for "The Rise of the Clouds". Many people went to the cinema without knowing what to watch, but as soon as they saw the publicity on the big screen, they took the initiative to pay for the movie tickets for "The Rise of the Clouds".

With the help of this kind of hype, and with the pressure from "Who is the Ghost", "Yunqi" continued to suck blood, and the box office exceeded 100 million yuan on the second day.

Before the film producers had time to be happy, the film received all one-star negative reviews that day, and even hiring film review marketing accounts to promote it overnight was of no use.

On the contrary, "Who is the Ghost" had a low screening rate at the beginning and only fans watched it. Some people came to watch it because they had no choice but to watch it because they couldn't get tickets for "The Rise of the Clouds".

I originally planned to read it while holding it while sleeping, but who knew that it would catch my attention from the very beginning.

Bai Qiujing's acting skills are obvious to all. He has won various awards, including being the box office champion, the youngest actor in history, and numerous awards.

But what was unexpected was Shen Zhichu. Shen Zhichu also showed his acting skills when participating in variety shows, but that was just a variety show after all and it didn't mean anything.

"Nagato's Hatred" has not been aired yet, but unexpectedly, the first thing to come out is the movie she spent more than a month shooting later.

Not many people were optimistic about the film, and even her fans were uneasy and bought their movie tickets with trepidation.

Many people went to see the movie with the intention of taking a nap, but after watching it, their faces were filled with tears unconsciously. The two-hour movie was not dragged out at all, and people still felt that they wanted more after watching it.

What kind of movie is this? It has funny moments, scary moments, and even tear-jerking moments.

This movie will not be outdated even if you watch it twenty years later. It deserves to be savored as a classic.

The entire theater was filled with sobbing as the movie ended. Everyone who watched the movie cried. The twists and turns were so sad that the aftermath was so strong that they couldn't stop crying.

Apart from having a good script, the filming, lighting, background music, and special effects are all top-notch. You can't tell that this was produced with an 80 million dollar budget. I wonder how much better it is than "The Rise of the Clouds".

After watching "The Rise of Clouds", watching "Who is the Ghost" is a spiritual baptism.

In addition to these highlights, there is another highlight, that is, Bai Qiujing is naked in the movie.

Although only the upper body is naked, this kind of exposed flesh scene is unprecedented.

The dim light in the camera was cast on the man, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, beautiful abdominal muscles, a deep mermaid line, and protruding butterfly bones on his back, as if he was about to spread his wings. His muscles were not exaggerated, but just right. When he twisted his neck and turned his wrists, the muscles were pulled, making the viewer dizzy and tears flowed from their mouths unconsciously.

Bai Qiujing is definitely Nuwa's darling, and every piece of his flesh is full of charm. The two directors cooperated very well, bringing out their own advantages to the extreme, and filming male beauty into such a visual feast.
