Chapter 8 The First Genius in the Universe
The first broadcast of "Friendship Boat" was undoubtedly a huge success. Not only did it appear on 28 hot searches within two days, but the endless famous scenes were also made into emoticons by netizens and widely circulated.
For example, when Ning Sheng was alone with Ji Jingchuan, her expression of despair was [not hehe.jpg], but when she saw other people coming, she immediately smiled happily, [hehe.jpg].
After Ji Jingchuan finished talking about how he had won a prize in a swimming competition in elementary school, his proud look with his head held high and chest puffed out was made into [accepting praise.jpg]. The subtitle for Shang Que swinging the oar as if to hit him was [You might die if I paddle you].
In addition, there is the scene where four people fell headfirst into the water during a rowing competition [I died first.jpg], the scene where Ji Jingchuan stood on a chair and quarreled with Shang Que [If you don't fight for three days, he will climb up the roof and tear off the tiles.jpg], and the scene where Lin Jinyi rolled and crawled out of the camera with the text "You can't catch me, I am a nimble monkey in the mountains."
Among these secondary creations, the most popular one is the video of "Fat Ball and Dog Egg". Netizens added transitions and sound effects in the later stage, which made the level of humor rise to a new level.
I laughed so hard that my grandma thought a rooster was crowing in the yard, so she went out with a stick in hand.
[I punched my phone into the wall and watched it for three days and three nights.]
[I've saved this. Next time my friends lose at truth or dare, I'll have them play this.]
[Hahahahaha, the part where Ji Jingchuan told Shang Que to "gululululululu get out of here" was really funny. If he doesn't become an idol anymore, he can do crosstalk.]
[I have a picture now. The chubby little bird is so cute! ]
【Seeing this makes me curious about what they looked like when they were little. 】
[Curiosity +1@Shang Que V@Unparalleled Ji Jingchuan V]
Everyone started @ing them, wanting to see the true appearance of "Fat Ball" and "Dog Egg".
Shang Que opened the photo album on her mobile phone. There was a category in it that kept photos of her from childhood to adulthood. Some were taken with a camera, and some were electronic versions that had been restored from paper photos.
She wasn't actually fat as a child, but her cheeks were soft, which made her look round. And not long after she went abroad, she quickly lost weight and became a melon-shaped face from eating white food three times a day. She probably had baby fat when she was four or five years old.
Shang Que flipped through the timeline and suddenly saw
A photo. In the picture, she was holding Ji Jingchuan's hand, and they both smiled and gave a "V" sign to the camera, even the curve of their grins was almost the same.
Long-lost memories surfaced.
She was six years old that year. Her parents' already fragile relationship had completely broken down, with frequent arguments about divorce at home. To avoid leaving a shadow on their children, she and Ji Jingchuan were sent to live with their maternal grandparents and grandparents, respectively.
At that time, Shang Que had already vaguely sensed something was wrong, but Ji Jingchuan was young and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that they had separated him from his sister, and he was throwing a tantrum at his grandfather's house to find her.
At first, no one agreed, so at two o'clock in the morning, the three-year-old child ran away from home secretly with his schoolbag on his back. When the two old people found out that he was missing, they were scared to death. They checked the surveillance and mobilized everyone to search in a carpet style. Finally, they found the lost Ji Jingchuan in the villa area and the air conditioner remote control, TV remote control and the old man's dentures in his schoolbag.
He bared his teeth like a wolf cub and threatened, "If you don't take me to find my sister, I'll take your walnuts too next time."
Ji Jingchuan didn't know what was so special about the two walnuts, but his grandfather kept twirling them around all day, treating them like precious treasures. Before leaving, he bit them hard twice, but not only did he fail to break them, he almost broke his teeth. So he reluctantly put them back, taking only the dentures that were lying beside him.
Humph!
Who told them not to let him go find Shang Que? He was angry!
Ji Jingchuan's young face was filled with determination, as if to say, "As long as I don't die, I'll run away." Fearing that he would run away again in the middle of the night, the two elderly people had no choice but to contact his grandparents and send him over at daybreak.
After seeing Shang Que, the little bully who had just been showing off his fangs and claws in the car immediately curled his lips and complained with tears in his eyes: "Sister, they all bullied me and wouldn't let me come to you."
It’s unfair!
Who's bullying whom? This brat is causing such a mess at home that his old bones are almost falling apart.
But Ji Jingchuan cried so hard, as if he had really suffered a great injustice, that Shang Que believed him without a doubt and looked at them angrily with pursed lips. Even their grandparents couldn't help but complain: "The child came whenever he wanted, what are you doing?"
Then he turned around and coaxed her, "Chuanchuan, don't cry. Grandpa bought a new camera. Can I take a picture of you and your sister?"
When Ji Jingchuan heard that he was going to take a photo with Shang Que, his tears stopped and his expression changed instantly. He grinned and smiled at the camera.
Shang Que later learned the whole story from his grandfather's heartbroken complaints. At that time, Ji Jingchuan didn't think he was wrong at all, and said with confidence, "Who told you not to take me to find my sister?"
Thinking of this, Shang Que couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Ji Jingchuan was still cute when he was a child.
She cropped the photo and posted her half on Weibo.
[Shang Que V: Who is this? [Picture]]
[Ahhhh, it’s my cute little bird baby! @商鹊V]
[Doesn’t the country encourage having children? I want this one!]
[Okay, baby, say goodbye to your mom [pink sack.gif]]
[Who the hell said our Queque is fat? She's obviously a princess! ]
[This background looks so familiar. Why does it resemble the photo Ji Jingchuan posted?]
[It seems to be true now that you mention it. They both pose in the same way when taking photos.]
[Can you please stop mentioning someone? Isn't the photo pose just the basic scissors hand gesture? What's there to learn from it?]
Shang Que frowned slightly and clicked on Ji Jingchuan's homepage. He had posted a Weibo post almost at the same time as hers, also of the same photo, but with only his half. However, because it was a paper photo taken directly with a phone, the background was a bit blurry and yellowed. At first glance, it didn't look much like the one Shang Que posted, except for the similarity in the outline of the building.
The discussion was quickly drowned out by comments praising its cuteness, and Shang Que ignored it.
on Monday.
In the office, Fu Xingzhi came over with a stack of scripts to discuss the next play with her.
"This ancient costume drama about political intrigue shares the same genre as 'The Flower of Flying Flowers,' and two consecutive shows with the same characters can easily lead to audience fatigue. 'Floating Jade' is a fantasy film directed by Chen Lin, and the content is good, but Chen Lin can be a bit picky. There's also a martial arts drama that has the feel of early era revenge dramas, but it hasn't been very popular in recent years."
Fu Xingzhi saw her flipping through the documents on the other side and said bluntly, "You don't need to look at those. They're all movies. A youth drama, an action film. The director is someone I know, so I'm putting them in there just for the sake of it. If I don't accept it, let them ruin other people's lives."
Shang Que withdrew his hand: "Brother Fu, your mouth hasn't changed at all."
Fu Xingzhi is usually fine, but when it comes to work, his words become particularly sharp, such as "I don't know why they waste time shooting this kind of thing", "I feel tired just holding it", "It's simply poisoning teenagers".
He pushed his glasses up, his expression changing slightly as he frowned and said, "There's also a modern workplace film produced by Le Yu. They say the three female leads are equally matched, but I guess they want to use Ning Sheng to promote newcomers."
Shang Que suddenly remembered that this incident was also mentioned in the fan fiction.
The heroine Ning Sheng had three dramas fail in a row because of the company's drag, but Le Yu not only did not intend to help her transform, but continued to suck her blood and let her play supporting roles for newcomers.
Ning Sheng realized that if she continued like this, her career would be ruined, so she took the initiative to audition and finally made a comeback with a serious drama that no one was optimistic about, and won the Best Actress award.
Shang Que pulled out the document at the bottom, opened it and saw that the name matched the plot exactly.
Fu Xingzhi only noticed it at this time and gave an objective evaluation: "It's a good script, but the character is difficult to portray, and the director is not very famous, and the investment is small. Do you want to take it?"
"No, it's not for me."
Shang Que no longer doubted the authenticity of the fan fiction, but she didn't intend to use her knowledge of the plot to snatch anything away. This was Ning Sheng's opportunity, and she would have her own opportunities in the future.
Moreover, for many things, the outcome may be completely different if you just change a person, a time, or a place.
So, her appearance disrupted the rhythm of the variety show, and Ji Jingchuan's ending would definitely be different, right?
At this moment, Fu Xingzhi suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, I asked a technician to check your phone. It hasn't been hacked. Don't worry about your money being stolen. And judging from the length of time you used the app, you were constantly checking Weibo and didn't jump to anything else."
He hesitated for a moment and said tactfully, "'The Flower That Flies' is currently airing. You don't have to rush into filming. You can take your time choosing a script. If the pressure is too great, I can help you contact a doctor. I have a friend who's an expert in this field."
Shang Que was not surprised by this result. On the contrary, she was very touched: "Brother Fu, you are so kind. You even care about whether I have any mental problems."
Unlike the netizens in the anonymous Q&A section, who all said that her phone was infected with a virus because she read too much erotic fiction.
*
Perhaps because he had been thinking about something during the day, Shang Que suddenly had a dream that night.
In the endless night, as dark as ink, Ji Jingchuan lay in a pool of blood. His once unbridled, rosy eyes were now bloodshot, filled with rage and resentment. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only heavy breathing could escape.
Blood continued to flow from his body, and his pupils began to dilate. He struggled to slowly raise his hand, but suddenly paused, and then fell to his chest with weakness. Beneath his palm, blood soaked his thin clothes, and finally revealed the outline of a photo.
Shang Que woke up suddenly, her heart beating like a drum in the dark. She reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, picked up the cup and took two gulps of water.
The dream just now was so real, as if Ji Jingchuan had really died in front of her.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the fear in his heart took a long time to subside.
Shang Que took two deep breaths and picked up the phone on the bedside table.
Two twenty-four in the morning.
She slid the screen to unlock it and opened WeChat. A red number 1 appeared on the friend request.
Shang Que clicked on it and saw that the person who added her had an avatar of a little green dinosaur, and his name was [The First Genius in the Universe].
This familiar style made it easy to guess who it was. The person who spoke to me even thoughtfully added a note: "I'm Ji Jingchuan! Shang Que! Add me now!"
Looking around, there was a series of exclamation marks, and Shang Que seemed to hear the tone of his voice when he said this.
Arrogant, angry, and lively.
The emptiness and panic in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot. Shang Que thought about it and accepted his friend request.
Then she threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen. For some reason, Shang Que suddenly felt like eating something.
There were noodles and eggs in the refrigerator. She bought the noodles yesterday, and the eggs because she went to the wrong place to handle the property management procedures and ended up queuing up in the egg queue at the supermarket next door. In the end, she followed a group of elderly men and women to get twenty eggs, and she hasn't finished them yet.
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated one after another. Shang Que frowned and opened it. They were all WeChat messages from Ji Jingchuan.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Ha! No
Why didn't you add me? Why did you accept my friend request? Are you admitting that you're impressed by my genius?
[The First Genius of the Universe]: No, why aren’t you asleep yet?
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Why did you block me on WeChat Moments? I didn't block you, open it, open it, open it.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Where are the people? Where are the people? Shang Que, Shang Que, Shang Que?
[Shang Que]: Shut up.
【The First Genius in the Universe】: Friends - Circle -
[The First Genius in the Universe]: At least we have to pretend to be friends on a variety show. Isn’t the circle of friends for friends to see? Open it quickly!
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Shang Que, Shang Que, Shang Que! What are you doing!
Shang Que suddenly regretted accepting his friend request. Ji Jingchuan alone was noisier than all her WeChat contacts combined. She clicked on his profile card, glanced at the delete friend button, and finally gave him access to Moments.
[Shang Que]: It’s open. Don’t disturb me while I’m cooking noodles.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Why are you eating noodles at this hour? No, do you know how to cook noodles?
[The First Genius in the Universe]: What is that black thing in your circle of friends? Stir-fried seaweed?
What's with the stir-fried seaweed? That's because she added too little water and too much soy sauce and the noodles got overcooked.
Shang Que was a little angry and embarrassed.
[Shang Que]: I will block you if you send this again.
Ji Jingchuan didn't say anything else, but a few minutes later, his phone started buzzing again.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: I found the tutorial I recorded while cooking noodles this morning. Let me show you what a genius is.
He sent a video. Shang Que was waiting for the water to boil, so he clicked on it to take a look.
"For clear soup noodles, first boil an egg and add some water to the bowl..."
In the camera, Ji Jingchuan is wearing dinosaur pajamas and explaining the process and precautions in detail. He even describes the appropriate amount of water and the amount of salt very accurately.
The video was seven minutes long, and Shang Que turned off the fire when he was almost done watching it.
What a hassle! I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: Are your noodles ready? Why hasn't your noodles cooked for so long? Did the frying pan catch fire? Did you get scalded by the boiling water? Did the kitchen explode? Did aliens invade the Earth and take you away?
[Shang Que]: No more eating and sleeping.
[The First Genius in the Universe]: ? The video isn't detailed enough, you're so stupid!
After a while, he asked again.
[The First Genius of the Universe]: Which step are you stuck at?
[Shang Que]: I don’t want to eat anymore! I want to sleep!
He wants to eat, he wants to eat, alright!!!
Ji Jingchuan stood in the kitchen wearing dinosaur pajamas, looking at a big bowl of freshly cooked noodles, and clenched the spatula in his hand angrily.
Shang Que was really going too far! He would never be kind to her again!
Ji Jingchuan typed aggressively.
[The First Genius of the Universe]: Then go to sleep!!! Good night!!!
