Chapter 201 Two in One

On the first day of the release of "Alien 2", it set the Internet on fire, with positive reviews pouring in like a tide.

"I couldn't believe it. If I hadn't watched it myself, I wouldn't have believed what Actor Ling said was true. In the Moments 2 really surpassed In the Moments 1. The second part is indeed a sublimated version of the first part, especially Ouyang Qianran's acting, which simply amazed me. Although he didn't have as many scenes as Actor Ling, he brought Mu Xiyang to life."

"I totally agree with what the above said. Yes, when His Highness appeared, I felt like I saw an angel. That sunny smile almost warmed my heart. It turns out that His Highness can also smile so warmly."

"At first, I just wanted to watch it because of the fame of Mr. Ling and His Royal Highness Ouyang. I didn't expect that Alien 2 would be so wonderful. I really didn't know what the ending would be until the very last moment. After watching this drama, I realized that my brain was not enough."

"It's really great. The plot is great, and His Majesty's acting is great, but I think His Highness's acting is even better, especially the last close-up shot. His eyes were so clear, but I saw extremely complicated emotions in them. In fact, he already knew everything, but just didn't say it. After watching it, I felt my heart was in a knot, and all I could think about was His Highness's clear eyes."

"I give it a thousand likes. It's really great, even better than the first one. After watching it once, I want to watch it a second time. Unfortunately, I can't buy a ticket. But the day it was released happened to be His Highness' birthday. Happy birthday, Your Highness!"

"I just want to say that your majesty must have done it on purpose, deliberately choosing your birthday to release the film. I watched it just for your sake. I really didn't expect that Alien 2 would be so wonderful, a classic among classics!"

"I don't want to say anything. I just want to quickly go online and grab the tickets. I want to watch it again. Such a brain-burning movie is really rare to see once in a century!"

"'Alien Dimension 2' is awesome, Ling Da-da is awesome, and Ouyang Da-da is even better! Happy birthday, Ouyang Da-da."

"Wow, the above poster, do you have to be so exaggerated? Is Alien Dimension 2 really better than Alien Dimension 1? Are you guys trying to fool us?"

"Why would I lie to you? The second part is really good, and the plot is so exciting. At first I thought I had guessed the ending, but it turns out I was wrong. Actor Ling is still Actor Ling after all. Only he can write such a brain-burning script."

"What you guys are saying makes me want to know what the plot of the second part is about? Tell me quickly."

“Refuse to reveal the plot!”

"That's right, this second part is only interesting if you watch it in person. It would be bad if you tell it out loud."

"Haha, I've already bought tickets for three days later, and I'm going to go watch it again with my boyfriend."

…

Those fans and critics who were originally pessimistic about "Alien Dimension 2" changed their attitude 180 degrees after watching the movie, and gave "Alien Dimension 2" extremely high praise. Among them were some well-known sharp-tongued and picky critics, who actually gave "Alien Dimension 2" a full score of 10 points.

Some movie fans who were still on the sidelines saw that so many film critics had given it full marks and that it had received so many positive reviews, and thought that the news that "Alien Dimension 2" was better than "Alien Dimension 1" must be true. So I quickly bought the tickets and prepared to go to the cinema to watch it.

"Inner Dimension 2" has grossed over 2.3 billion yuan in just one week after its release. That's right, in just one week, the box office has exceeded 2 billion yuan, a super high result that only "Inner Dimension 1" has achieved. As soon as the news came out, "Alien Dimension 2" was on the front page of news every day.

Then, in the second week, the box office not only did not drop, but maintained a score of 2.3 billion. Among the ratings of major websites, the highest score of "Alien Dimension 2" was full marks, and the lowest score was 9.9 points. Moreover, only one website scored 9.9 points, while the other websites all scored full marks. This is enough to show the fans' recognition of "Alien 2".

This incident shocked the world. If this trend continues, "Inner Dimension 2" is very likely to surpass "Inner Dimension 1" and break the highest box office record that "Inner Dimension 1" has held for the past few years.

In the third week, the box office of "Inner Circle 2" began to decline, but the decline was not much, still above 2 billion yuan. It was not until the fourth week that it fell out of the 2 billion yuan range, with a box office of only 1.3 billion yuan. But even so, it was still shocking. I remember that when "The Elf Prince" was released, the box office was only 1.3 billion in the first week.

Due to the popularity of "Alien 2", the removal of the film from the shelves was delayed. However, due to regulations in the film industry, the delay can only be one week at most. Otherwise, it would be unfair to other films when calculating the box office. However, even if "Inner Circle 2" had not delayed its removal from the shelves, its box office had already surpassed "Inner Circle 1". It had earned 8 billion US dollars in box office revenue within one month of its release. When the box office revenue from the final week of delay was added, "Inner Circle 2" had reached 8.8 billion, shocking the world.

"Inner Moment 2" is very popular, and it is the kind of popular that cannot be more popular. Ling Yinglu's original valuation of 180 million yuan directly soared to 320 million yuan, and Ouyang Qianran's original valuation of 150 million yuan soared to 310 million yuan, which is only 10 million lower than Ling Yinglu's.

"Inner Dimension 2" not only brings the two male protagonists to a higher level, but also brings the supporting characters such as Ouyang Yi and Elaine to a higher level. Among them, the biggest beneficiary was of course Ouyang Yi. His fans doubled from more than 300 million to 600 million. Based on his current fan base and popularity, he has surpassed a female artist ranked tenth on the world artist rankings. In other words, when the artist rankings come out next year, Ouyang Yi will most likely enter the top ten directly, which is really cause for celebration.

"Inner Dimension 2" dethroned "Inner Dimension 1" and became the highest-grossing film in history with a perfect rating. Ling Yinglu and Ouyang Qianran were even named the best couple in the world.

Ling Yinglu's fans increased a little bit. After all, his total number of fans has almost reached the limit. Being able to increase a little bit is already very remarkable. Ouyang Qianran, on the other hand, saw his fans increase by tens of millions, directly reaching 970 million, which is only 200 million less than Ling Yingluo. The distance between the two has been shortened infinitely.

In fact, the reason why Ouyang Qianran has so many fans this time is because of his performance in "Ashes of Time 2". Many people think that his role as Mu Xiyang is more outstanding than Ling Yingluo's role as Yang Kang. Especially when the two of them were acting together, it was obvious that Ouyang Qianran's acting skills were a step higher than Ling Yingluo's. Even if some of Ling Yingyue's crazy fans wanted to deny it, they couldn't because it was too obvious.

Some people originally thought that Ouyang Qianran's acting skills were not as good as Ling Yinglu's, and those who originally thought that Ouyang Qianran relied on his family background to get to the top have now shut up. Ouyang Qianran proved himself and conquered them with his acting skills.

After the movie was taken off the shelves, China welcomed the Spring Festival. During this year's Spring Festival, many TV stations invited Ling Yinglu and Ouyang Qianran, wanting them to perform on the Spring Festival Gala together, but they both refused. Because they have two little babies this year, the two of them will stay at home to celebrate the Spring Festival with their two little babies and their family.

During the Spring Festival, of course, it is time to have reunion dinner. This time, Grandpa Ling, Ouyang Qianxiong and others made an exception and did not celebrate the Spring Festival at home. Instead, they gathered at the Ling family's old house and celebrated the Spring Festival with Ouyang Qianran and his three sons.

People usually eat a lot of meat and fish during the Spring Festival, but it is different for Ouyang Qianran and others. On Spring Festival night, the whole family makes dumplings together.

Dabao and Xiaobao were so happy. They had only eaten dumplings but had never made them. But when they saw Ouyang Qianran and others making dumplings, they couldn't help but try it themselves.

"Dad, Dad, look, I have made a dumpling." Dabao took a dumpling and ran to Ouyang Qianran as if presenting a treasure.

Ouyang Qianran looked up and saw that the so-called dumpling in Dabao's hand was bigger than Dabao's two small fists. He didn't know how many dumpling wrappers were used to wrap it and it was rolled into a ball shape. These are not dumplings at all, but more like dumpling balls. What’s even funnier is that a lot of □□ was stuck on Dabao’s fair and tender face, and his cute little face immediately turned into a harlequin cat.

Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but chuckle, "Not bad, Dabao is great. The dumplings you made are very good. They are much bigger than the ones dad makes." Of course, it's just a big one, and I don't know if there is stuffing inside.

Ouyang Qianran had just finished speaking when Xiaobao ran over with a dumpling.

"Dad, I make bigger dumplings than my brother, and I am better than my brother."

I saw that the dumplings in Xiaobao's hand were almost exactly the same as the dumplings in Dabao's hand. They were also round and spherical and were kneaded into a ball. Looking at Xiaobao's little cheek, a small slap mark was obviously on it. When he ran, the blood on his face kept falling down.

After seeing this, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help laughing and praised his eldest son. Of course, the second son also praised him and gave Xiaobao a thumbs up, "Not bad, Dabao's dumplings are also big, just as good as his brother's."

"What do you mean it's the same as my brother's? Mine is obviously bigger than my brother's." Xiaobao said unconvinced.

Dabao was not convinced after hearing this, "It's obviously mine."

Xiao Bao pouted: "Mine is big. I will make another big dumpling later."

Dabao: "I want two."

Xiaobao: "Then I'll pack ten."

Dabao: "I want to pack a hundred."

Xiaobao: "I'll pack a thousand..."

…

The more the two little guys talked, the bigger the number became. In the end, the number had reached 100 million. Grandpa Ling, who was watching from the side, was very happy. "Dabao, Xiaobao, we don't have that many dumpling wrappers at home for you to make. Look at your dumplings. You used dozens of wrappers for one dumpling. If you really make 100 million dumplings, how many dumpling wrappers would you need?"

Xiao Bao tilted his head and looked at Grandpa Ling innocently and said, "Grandpa Zeng, my brother and I were just talking. We didn't say we had to make so many dumplings. Grandpa Zeng didn't even know this. You're so stupid."

Dabao glared at Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you can't talk to Great Grandpa like that. Daddy said that we should be polite when talking to Great Grandpa because we are not children anymore."

Xiao Bao then remembered and said with sudden realization, "Oh, I forgot." Then Xiao Bao immediately apologized to Grandpa Ling in a baby voice, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, Xiao Bao shouldn't have said that you are stupid. But don't worry, Grandpa, even if you are really stupid, Xiao Bao will not despise you."

Dabao stood up and patted his chest and said, "Yes, Dad said that we should be filial. Xiaobao and I have grown up, and we should be filial to our great-grandfather and great-grandma. Great-grandfather, this dumpling is for you." Dabao put the "dumpling" directly into Grandpa Ling's hands.

After seeing this, Xiaobao was reluctant to look at the "dumplings" in his hand, so he walked to the side of Grandma Zeng and handed the "dumplings" in his hand to Grandma Zeng, "Grandma Zeng, Xiaobao's dumplings are also for you."

"Oh, my dear great-grandson, you actually know how to be filial to your great-grandfather and great-grandma. It's worth my love for you." Grandpa Ling was very happy when he received the "dumplings" from Dabao.

Great-grandma put the "dumplings" in her hand aside, forgetting that her hands were still covered with glutinous rice. She hugged the two little guys and kissed each of them on the face, shouting happily: "Great-grandma's good great-grandchildren..."

Ouyang Qianxiong on the side felt a little jealous after seeing this: "Dabao, Xiaobao, uncle loves you so much, why don't you want to make dumplings for uncle?" Although the dumplings did not look like dumplings and certainly did not taste very good, Ouyang Qianxiong had taken care of the two little guys for so long, but they only had Grandpa Ling and Grandma Ling in their eyes but did not see him. He felt bad.

Zhao Yun also continued: "Dabao, Xiaobao, and auntie, doesn't auntie love you anymore?"

Dabao ran to Ouyang Qianxiong, then raised his head and said to him: "Uncle, lower your head."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qianxiong immediately lowered his head in cooperation. The next moment, a chubby little hand stroked his head.

"Uncle, you are not a child anymore. How can you snatch dumplings from your great-grandfather and great-grandma? Dad said that we should respect the old and love the young, so, uncle, be good and don't be naughty."

Looking at the serious expression on that little face, and listening to the tone and words used in the baby voice to coax a child, Ouyang Qianxiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Aren't these the words they usually use to coax the two little guys?

Xiaobao on the other side ran to Zhao Yun and didn't let Zhao Yun bow her head. Instead, he patted the back of Zhao Yun's hand and said earnestly: "Aunt, my brother is right. Great-grandfather is an old man. You can't snatch dumplings from them. We are children. You should also take care of us. We are very tired after making dumplings. Respect the old and love the young."

Looking at that serious little face and listening to that serious tone, Zhao Yun looked helpless, and Great-grandfather and the others all burst into laughter. These two little guys have learned about 70% of the expressions and tones of their family members.

Yinuo, who was standing by, laughed non-stop while holding her belly that had grown bulging after several months. "Big Treasure, Little Treasure, you two are really good at acting funny. But didn't you just say that you are not children anymore? So now you want your uncle and aunt to love children?"

Ouyang Yi agreed: "That's right. You just said you are not a child anymore, and now you say you are a child. Aren't you contradicting yourselves?" Ouyang Yi was determined to align with his wife. When he was at home, he was often bullied by the two little ones. Now that he has found an opportunity, of course he will not let the two little ones go.

Xiaobao rolled his eyes at Ouyang Yi and said with contempt: "Brother, why are you so stupid? We are indeed not children anymore, but we are still children. You don’t even know this. You are so stupid. Shame on you." Xiaobao scratched his face twice with his little finger and made a face at Ouyang Yi.

"Hey, little guy, are you playing word games with me? And you dare to call me stupid? I'll spank you." Ouyang Yi pretended to stand up and was about to spank Xiaobao.

When Xiaobao heard about spanking, he immediately covered his butt and shrank behind Dabao, "Brother, the bad guy wants to bully me."

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Dabao opened his arms and stood in front of Xiaobao. He looked up with a little face that looked very much like Ling Yingyue and said to Ouyang Yi, "Brother, you're already such a grown-up, but you're still arguing with a little kid. That's really ungraceful and not what a real man should do."

Ouyang Yi was amused, "Oh, little guy, you actually know how to behave and what a real man should do?" Not to mention, when he saw Dabao's face that looked very much like Ling Yingyue, Ouyang Yi was actually a little hesitant.

Dabao raised his chin and straightened his chest. "Of course, father said that a real man has some things he should do and some things he shouldn't do. If you don't respect the old and love the young and want to beat your younger brother, you are not a real man, but a little man, a man younger than us."

"So what if I'm the little husband?" Ouyang Yi looked like he was saying, "I'm the little husband, who am I afraid of?"

Xiaobao poked his head out from behind him: "Brother, what is a little husband? Can I eat it?"

Ouyang Yi slipped and almost fell.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone looked at Ouyang Yi's deflated expression and all burst into laughter.

Yinuo even pulled Ouyang Yi to sit down, and said angrily and amusedly: "Ouyang Yi, you are such a big man, but you can't even beat two little guys. It's so embarrassing."

Ouyang Yi looked helpless, "Wife, this is not my fault, it's just that these two little guys are too smart."

Before Yinuo could say anything, Dabao said with a serious face: "Humph, not only does Big Brother not respect the elderly and love the young, he also shirks responsibility. You are a mean person."

Xiaobao nodded his head, agreeing with Dabao, "Yes, Big Brother is a villain, a villain younger than us."

“You guys…” Ouyang Yi didn’t expect that even though he was not going to make a fuss, the two little guys would still continue to bully him. He immediately stood up again, pretending to chase and beat the two little guys, “How dare you call me a villain? I’ll beat your little butts to pieces, so don’t run away.”

"Whose little butt are you going to beat up?"

A tall figure walked out of the kitchen. As soon as Ling Yingluo, who had a cold aura, appeared, a sense of oppression came over him.

As soon as Dabao and Xiaobao saw their father coming out, they immediately seemed to have found their backbone. Xiaobao even rushed over and hugged Ling Yingyue's thigh, "Father, father, big brother is going to beat Xiaobao's little butt. Big brother is a bad guy, and spanking will hurt."

Dabao nodded as if it was true, "Yes, it hurts."

"Hey, you two little guys, I haven't even hit you yet and you're already in pain?" Ouyang Yi felt that he was wronged. When Ling Yingluo's cold eyes swept over him, he couldn't help but shiver all over. At home, he was not afraid of anyone except Ling Yingyue. I don’t know why, but every time I face Ling Yingluo, I feel endless pressure.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyi, just say less." Ouyang Qianxiong came out to smooth things over.

Grandpa Ling looked at Dabao and Xiaobao with a smile, "My great-grandson is really smart. He even knew how to ask for help. Not bad, not bad."

Ouyang Qianran, who was watching the show on the side, looked at Xiaobao who was holding Ling Yingyue's thigh helplessly: "Xiaobao, let go of your father quickly, look, you have soiled your father's pants."

Indeed, the originally pure black suit pants immediately turned white after being hugged by Xiaobao.

As soon as Xiao Bao realized that he had gotten into trouble, he let go of Ling Yingyue guiltily, then pouted and glared at Ouyang Yi, "It's all Big Brother's fault. It's Big Brother's fault."

Ouyang Yi really felt like he was shot even when he was lying down. Could he be blamed for this? What is going on?

"Okay, Dabao, Xiaobao, didn't you say you wanted to make dumplings? Hurry up, otherwise, daddy will have made them all." Ouyang Qianran looked at Ouyang Yi with some sympathy. This kid knew that he would be defeated by the two little guys every time, but he still went up to humiliate himself. This scene has happened countless times since the two little guys learned to speak fluently. But Ouyang Yi became more and more courageous after facing more setbacks.

"Xiaobao and Dabao can make dumplings?" Ling Yinglu glanced at his suit pants that had turned white and ignored him. Instead, he was very interested in the fact that Xiaobao and Dabao could make dumplings.

"Mm, Xiaobao made them very beautifully." After saying that, Xiaobao took back the ball-like dumplings he had given to Grandma Ling, ran back to Ling Yingyue, tilted his head back, and held up the "dumplings" in his hand to show off, "Father, look, aren't the dumplings Xiaobao made beautiful?"

Dabao was not willing to admit defeat. After taking the "dumplings" back from Master Ling, he also held them in front of Ling Yingyue and said, "Dabao also made dumplings."

Ling Yingyue glanced at Xiaobao's "dumplings", then at Dabao's dumplings of similar shape, and nodded seriously, "Yeah, both are beautiful."

Hearing their father's praise, Dabao and Xiaobao both grinned, revealing rows of white little teeth.

Ouyang Qianran looked helpless, Mr. Ling, where is your moral integrity!

Ling Yingluo didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said what he meant. If you didn't know, you would really be fooled by him.

Looking at Ling Yingluo, who didn't mind the two little guys being dirty at all, and picked up the two little guys in each hand and walked into the kitchen, saying that he would cook the "dumplings" for the two little guys, and listening to the two little guys' laughter like silver bells, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help laughing.

Although he sometimes favors Xiaobao, he also pays equal attention to Dabao. Although Ling Yingluo is sometimes domineering and sometimes stingy, one cannot ignore the fact that he is a good father.

And he, Ouyang Qianran, believes that he will also be a good father.
