Immersing myself in a visual feast and shock, the passage of time becomes meaningless. When the screen goes dark again, a piano ending song announces the end of the film.
The movie was not long, only two hours in total, but these two hours were undoubtedly the most unforgettable two hours in the lives of all the audience present.
Joyce is undoubtedly a genius. In the hundreds of years of film history, countless dazzling pearls have been born. They compete with each other in beauty and brilliance. Movie fans have different opinions, and no one is willing to admit that there is any movie that can stand out from the crowd and surpass the contemporary ones.
But now, everyone who has watched this movie knows in their hearts that in these short two hours, world film history has welcomed a true treasure. Other films are pearls and diamonds, but this one is the crown.
In this movie, all kinds of profound and flashy shooting techniques and all kinds of expensive special effects are almost extinct. It is even a movie that is almost a silent film. The protagonist only says two sentences from beginning to end.
But as Joyce said in an interview before: He is perfect, the leading actor is perfect. His perfection makes all the imperfections related to him become perfect.
This movie doesn't have any profound meaning; it's more like a two-hour personal photo album. But would anyone who has seen it think it's too much? No, they simply feel it's not enough, not enough, far from enough.
While Joyce is undoubtedly a genius, in this film, the director isn't irreplaceable. The lead actor is.
"You succeeded, you shocked the world." Joyce's musician friend drank a glass of high-proof liquor in one gulp. The piano music at the end of the film was composed by him.
"My pleasure." Joyce's expression was not proud, as he said himself, he was proud of it.
Unfortunately, that person was like a gust of wind that could never be caught. Joyce knew it as early as the first time he met Sun at the film and television base. He was wary of this world. He drew a line between himself and others, a line that some people could never cross in their entire lives.
At first he thought that there was only Sun on the other side of the line, but later he found out that it was not the case. There was another person standing next to Sun, and that person was Qi Yao.
As for Joyce, maybe one day he could also cross the line and reach the other side, but he would never do so as a lover or partner, but as a friend, because he did not understand him.
He didn't understand why Sun was incompatible with this world. He didn't understand where Sun's lack of sense of security came from. He regarded Sun as a god in his heart, but mortals are destined not to receive the love of gods.
He didn't understand, but fortunately, someone did. Gods didn't need mortals who looked up to them humbly. What they needed was someone who could look at their faces with openness and share their thoughts.
Of course, after figuring all this out, it didn't prevent Joyce from cutting in the part where Ji Xinghe brought a wreath to Qi Yao. He had already used the greatest control of his life by not cutting in Qi Yao's face.
Joyce finally took a photo of Ji Xinghe on the screen and uploaded it to her social networking site, "You are the eternal god in my heart. I believe in you and I love you. Even though you don't love me."
As the movie was released, Ji Xinghe's popularity skyrocketed. When he woke up the next morning and opened the main task screen, his eyes were dazzled and he couldn't even count how many zeros there were. His first impression was: a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot.
That's what it means to get rich overnight.
There was a time difference between Country M and Country C. Ji Xinghe calculated that about twelve hours had passed since the film was released in Country M. With information spreading at an alarming rate these days, twelve hours was enough time for the storm called "Dream" to cross the time difference and the ocean and reach Country C.
For the first time, Ji Xinghe felt a little curious about the online reactions. Before, he always avoided reading the comments after doing something. After all, it was quite uncomfortable to have so many people perverting you through the screen.
Ji Xinghe first clicked on Joyce's social platform, and then saw Joyce's passionate confession written in Chinese. The comments section was even more lively, with messages in various languages, filling the screen.
"Hmm... I'd better not watch it. The movie's already released, so I just have to wait and see how it wins." Ji Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then resolutely turned off his phone. He was afraid that after reading these reviews, his mentality would collapse.
"Tong'er, let me treat you to a big meal to celebrate my sudden wealth today." Ji Xinghe stuck his furry head into the bathroom and looked at Qi Yao who was washing and brushing his teeth carefully.
The man, with foam still in his mouth, was unable to speak and could only nod in agreement.
"Okay. Then I'll go look for a restaurant now. I need to find a restaurant with private rooms and good food. These usually need to be booked in advance." Ji Xinghe picked up his phone again and searched for a food map of Shanghai online. As he looked, he continued, "After we finish eating, we can go look at houses. After the movie is out and I get my share, we don't have to choose anymore and can just buy it."
"Anyway, you must help me divert my attention today! Don't let me go online to read the comments." Ji Xinghe is very aware of the power of his face.
Qi Yao listened to Ji Xinghe's words, gargled with a mouthful of water, and suddenly looked up at himself in the mirror. A doubt slowly emerged in his mind: Does he look a bit like being kept by a star now?
The apartment was rented by Xingxing, his clothes were bought by Xingxing, and Xingxing took him to eat delicious food every day. Anyway, when he was with Xingxing, he didn't need to bring anything, he just had to bring her with him.
Now Xingxing is even planning to buy a house by herself, and will move in with him after buying it. Xingxing has said more than once that this will be their future home.
Accompanying him to eat, play, and sleep (Ji Xinghe's apartment was too small and only had one bed), and even buying him a house, the more Qi Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Qi Yao didn't feel ashamed, and he didn't have the three views of a normal person. Instead, he slowly savored a little sweetness from this conclusion he had drawn.
What belongs to Xingxing is his, and what belongs to him is Xingxing's. Xingxing earns money for him to spend, and he'll earn money in the future, so Xingxing can spend it however she wants. He and Xingxing are the closest system and host, so there's no need for such a clear distinction. Would you feel embarrassed about spending your own money? Not at all.
"I want to eat hotpot. Xingxing, you said it was delicious last time." Qi Yao made the request naturally. Ji Xinghe also agreed very easily and turned to search for good hotpot in the Magic City.
For the rest of the day, Qi Yao kept Ji Xinghe's instructions in mind. Except for the time when he was looking for a hot pot restaurant at the beginning, he did not give Ji Xinghe a minute to take out his mobile phone to read the reviews.
But just because Ji Xinghe didn't watch it doesn't mean everyone else didn't watch it. Not only did they watch it, but they also connected the movie with Ji Xinghe's live broadcast.
Country C Forum
[Can anyone tell me how Joyce did it?! I later found the lake, and I took my tent and stayed there until now.]
Oh my god, I'm going crazy! Is this Joyce's dream? This is my dream too! Ever since I saw him in Sun's live studio, I've been dreaming about him every night. I miss him so much that it's almost breaking my heart.
I really admire Joyce, but I also hate him. If it weren't for him, I would have been competing with only a few million people. Now, with billions, do I still have a chance?
[Forget about the above. The fact that none of us could find him before shows that he's been hidden. Now with this movie, I actually have hope. One day, he'll show up again.]
With a loud crash, everything on the table in front of Lin Jingze fell to the ground, and the valuable inkstone in the study was smashed into pieces.
He watched the movie over and over again in a self-torturing manner as Ji Xinghe smiled and put a woven wreath on someone else's head. Now everyone who had seen the movie was jealous, but only Lin Jingze knew who the person outside the screen was.
Qi Yao. It’s Qi Yao. It must be Qi Yao.
"I originally thought Qi Han was a tough guy, but I didn't expect him to be such a loser!" Lin Jingze slammed his fist on the table.
"How can I keep you? Now that everyone has seen your beauty, what should I do?" Lin Jingze squatted down dejectedly, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
He called Zhao Zhen and asked, "You saw the movie too, right? How did you feel about it?"
"What's going on?" Zhao Zhen pretended to be confused.
"What are you pretending for? You, Zhou Minghui, the three of us are in this mess right now. Don't you know why? You and Zhou Minghui are hiding it from me, but can you keep it a secret? To tell you the truth, I almost succeeded last time at the Twilight Bar. I drugged him..."
"You!" Zhao Zhen's voice was extremely angry.
Lin Jingze, on the other hand, became single. "Haven't you always wanted to know who has been holding him captive for all these years? Ji Xinghe likes him. Even though Ji Xinghe has been held captive for over a decade, he still likes that person! What's wrong with us? Why can't we compare to that person? Were you almost going crazy with jealousy when you heard what Ji Xinghe said before?"
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that I know who that person is. He was the one who took Ji Xinghe away from me last time at the Twilight Bar. In fact, you have also seen this person. He is the one who rescued Ji Xinghe from the Longhu Bay warehouse. Why, are you surprised?"
"I should have thought of that earlier." Zhao Zhen felt a little regretful. He really should have thought of it earlier. No matter who in this world had Ji Xinghe before, who could bear to lose him again? It turned out that the owner of the little canary didn't care about it anymore, nor did he lose it accidentally.
It is more likely that the owner got the news the moment the little canary left the cage, but when he saw the little canary flying happily outside and chirping so happily, he couldn't bear to put it back in the cage and simply gave it its precious freedom.
But after all, he is his own little one, so he will definitely protect and look after him carefully, and he can't bear to let him encounter any danger.
Everything that followed was a natural progression.
"Who is he?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"Qi Yao, he is from the Qi family of M country."
