"We're at the second part so soon?" Ning Mang leaned against the back of his chair, but his expression was gentle.
This is a film that is very unlike Zhou Yiyang's. Apart from the beautiful shots, it lacks a lot of showmanship.
The whole story is driven by the three protagonists, abandoning the multi-line narrative that some directors often use for showmanship.
Even those who don't like to think while watching movies can still understand it.
"Is it good?" Ning Mang turned to ask his cousin. She always liked to lower her head to do her nails while watching movies before, but she was unexpectedly so focused this time.
"I really like this style of painting. Cousin, Director Zhou is your friend, right? Can you introduce him to me? I want to discuss aesthetics with him!"
Ning Mang got goosebumps from his cousin's sweet voice. "You have to know that Lao Zhou is a very serious person, and that applies to relationships as well. You'd better put away your playful attitude!"
My cousin pouted, but she was soon attracted by the plot.
…
Wang Xiaohua walked towards the homeless man across the street and pointed at the child in his arms: "Do you know who threw him away?"
The tramp shook his head.
"You stay here every day, how could you not know?" Xue Mei put her hands on her hips, looking embarrassed and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"
The homeless man continued to shake his head, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Lao Jin snorted and reluctantly threw a bag of bread from his pocket to the ground.
"I found it at the convenience store yesterday. I was planning on having it as a snack tonight."
The tramp finished his bread in no time, and then he said:
"A sneaky man threw it last night. The light was dim, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I saw what he was wearing."
After hearing the homeless man's description, Wang Xiaohua's face flashed with surprise, and then she said, "They must be working in a KTV. They usually wear this kind of uniform. But there are a lot of KTVs around here. We can't just go to each one!"
At this time, Xue Mei squatted in front of the homeless man, staring at him fiercely like a big sister, and a snowball appeared in her hand. "There must be something special about his clothes, otherwise you wouldn't be so impressed! Tell me quickly, or I can beat out everything you just ate!"
Su Yin has always played roles that are relatively noble and righteous. This is the first time she has played a rebellious and irritable girl like Xue Mei.
But with her dark face, it is quite convincing.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The homeless man was also scared: "There is a pattern behind that person, a ball with a star inside it."
The three of them looked at each other, none of them knowing what the logo was. However, with this feature, it was obviously much easier to find.
"Let's go!" Wang Xiaohua regained her energy: "Baby, if I had money, I would definitely take good care of you."
Normally, it would be very shocking to hear such words coming from an actor with this face, but his eyes and tone were no different from those of a loving mother.
In Zhou Yiyang's opinion, this acting skill is definitely worthy of winning an award.
Yes, in accordance with the tradition of Yi Yang Entertainment, he, as usual, booked the entire theater to invite everyone to watch the movie.
"Sister Hua, wait for me!" Xue Mei ran over happily, leaving only their happy footprints on the snow.
Lao Jin shook his head, but still followed: "Wait for me, you don't even know how to respect the elderly and love the young!"
By noon, there were far fewer people on the streets.
People who came to the city to buy things rushed back home, and many people had their New Year’s Eve dinner at noon.
There were only a few pedestrians on the joyous streets.
"We're all home!" Wang Xiaohua wrapped the baby in her coat. "Wait a minute, you'll see your mom and dad. Of course, if they're bastards, I'll risk my life to support you!"
"You should support yourself first!" Lao Jin still likes to attack Wang Xiaohua.
Xue Mei watched them arguing with each other, seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously quickened her pace.
When Lao Jin passed by the window of a women's clothing store, he saw a short girl standing on a chair to clean the glass. She suddenly said:
"Didn't you just ask me what I did before I became a wanderer?"
"I used to be an athlete, not a famous one, with a wife and children. Then I got addicted to gambling and drinking, and I got into a lot of debt."
He looked down at the snow, smiled bitterly and said, "I ran away, and they, they died too."
The final twist was so dramatic that both Wang Xiaohua and Xue Mei fell silent.
"You are really... irresponsible." Wang Xiaohua still said what was in her mind.
Lao Jin didn't respond. He just turned his head and stared at the window. A middle-aged man took the girl's hand and said gently, "I'll do it. You go help your mother put away the clothes. Don't let her fall."
In a trance, the middle-aged man's face turned into Lao Jin, and the girl turned into a young girl about the same age as Xue Mei.
"Dad, will those people come again today?"
"Yes, they will come." Lao Jin said word by word: "When they come, just say I'm gone. They, they won't force you!"
"What about you, Dad?" The girl grabbed the corner of Lao Jin's clothes.
"You and mom need to be good to each other. Your dad is useless, really useless!"
He ran away, leaving behind his wife and children.
He lied, they were still alive, he just didn't dare go back to face the debt and face the mother and daughter.
"Old Jin, look, there's someone lying in front!"
Wang Xiaohua's scream brought Lao Jin back from his memories. He looked up and found an old man lying in the snow.
