Chapter 332: Demon-Slayer Sister (5)
Ah Mei's words were like a thunderbolt dropped out of nowhere, shocking everyone so much that they were stunned on the spot.
However, unlike the scene in the movie which was extremely awkward at one point, the laughter in the theater continued one after another.
The next moment, another person walked in from outside the bar on the screen: it was David, who was called out by Qingxia to help understand the man's psychology.
After taking a quick look inside the bar, David first waved to Qingxia with a smile, and then, under Qingxia's complicated gaze, he looked a little puzzled at a familiar figure standing next to him with his back to him.
"Ah...Aaron." David subconsciously called out the old name.
Aaron didn't show anything, but just glanced at him normally, then looked away slightly: "Long time no see."
David nodded vigorously, his eyes seemed to have some tiny ripples under the reflection of the colored lights, and after a while he forced out a smile: "Long time no see."
Seeing that the two of them were obviously more in line with their current looks, Li Bixia, who had been supporting Di and Jiang's brotherhood for many years and had been anxiously waiting for them to reconcile, suddenly felt the urge to cry.
Even Chen Baiyang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "How did you convince them to shoot this?"
"It was mainly because Jiang Dawei took the initiative to look for Dillon." Su Yun whispered to him, "The reason why they broke up was not because of the rumors that their relationship had gone sour or they had fallen out over interests or status. It was simply because they were too good to each other in the beginning..."
Sometimes, two people cannot be too good at the beginning - because, if they have reached the peak from the beginning, they will only consume and decay the emotions that were once accumulated little by little, and then gradually drift further and further away.
Feelings are always like fresh food on the shelf, they cannot withstand the ravages of time.
Once the best time has passed, there is no going back.
"Their three outlooks were not very harmonious to begin with. One was too serious and stubborn, while the other preferred to be carefree and casual. The fact that they could stay together for several years was a combination of the right time, the right place and the right people." After the Internet era, Su Yun has seen many examples of old friends who were once close and lived in the same room but eventually drifted apart due to differences in location or different philosophies. Therefore, she can better understand the regrets and sighs of Di and Jiang.
Because of this, both parties know that they can never go back to the past, so they would rather remain separate to preserve the good times they once had.
"Fortunately, the person who took the initiative to reconcile was Jiang Dawei. Based on Ti Lung's personality, he would definitely not take the initiative." Although Jiang Dawei said on the surface that he was helping his brother raise funds for filming, the reason why Er Dongxing made his debut in acting was that after Jiang Dawei left, Zhao was arranged to work with Ti Lung for a period of time in order to fill his vacancy.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between these three people is simply complicated and difficult to sort out.
Ti Lung agreed to act because Jiang Dawei approached him to admit his loyalty and expressed his good will, and he probably felt a little regretful for cutting ties with his best friend when he was young, and he also wanted to help support his "little brother" Er Dongxing.
"Perhaps the couple in this world who are dubbed as Gemini will always go their separate ways as if it were fate." Su Yun sighed.
"Hey! Don't curse us, we have such a good relationship!" Zhang Querong knew about Di Jiang's reconciliation during the filming, but with his gossipy personality, he couldn't sit still when he saw the two people whispering in each other's ears. So, he instantly turned into a 10,000-watt light bulb and forced himself to lean over to listen to Su Yun's conversation...
As I was listening, I suddenly heard Su Yun say that Geminis are prone to breaking up.
So Zhang Querong couldn't help but think of the time before Zhong Bu Luo joined them, when he and Chen Baiyang were known as the second generation of "twin stars" after Di Jiang...
Zhang Querong immediately responded in a low voice.
"You are a person who speaks your mind quickly. Take it easy. Trouble comes from your mouth." Su Yun couldn't help but glance at Zhang Querong with a warning in his eyes: I'm really used to you. I'm afraid you have forgotten that the person sitting next to you is also a boss...
"Are you really going to argue with me?" Zhang Querong saw the truth in Su Yun's eyes, so his spoiled look became even more serious.
Unlike his later image of being rugged, restrained and gentle as jade, Zhang Querong at this moment was really more difficult to deal with than Chen Boyang who was too lazy to deal with the media. Chen Boyang knew that he was not very good at speaking, so he said as little as possible in front of the media. At most, he had an image of being aloof and aloof. Newspapers and magazines wrote about him two or three times and found that there was really little "material" to write, so they turned around to pursue other hot spots.
Zhang Querong, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He loves gossip and is very outgoing. He has a short temper and is a bit sensitive. He often speaks without thinking. He is known for offending people, so much so that newspapers and magazines make up stories about him every day based on his words and the people he mentions...
Zhang Querong felt a little aggrieved when Su Yun said that he had been too presumptuous recently. "There are only a few people in the music and film circles who are of the same generation as me and have similar development situations. If I don't compete with them, then who else can I compete with?"
He really felt that if he had to compare himself, he should compare himself with people of the same period who had a similar status and star power as him, or whose situation was better than his current one. This was the way to avoid bullying others.
However, this determination to become stronger when facing a strong opponent rather than bully the young and weak has been used by those unscrupulous media to make a big fuss, saying that his words and deeds of "pulling down" this and "pulling down" that, not only are he following the red and white, and going wherever there is a lot of fun, but he is also particularly incoherent when he succeeds...
"So I don't like to communicate too much with those people." Chen Boyang also frowned, "However, it is indeed easy for others to catch the loopholes in your words and make a fuss about it. It is better to be more cautious in the future. At worst, you can be like me and prefer to say less than to say the wrong thing."
"Oh, I'm not as tolerant as you!" Zhang Querong was more or less aware of his recent problems, but the smooth development of his career this year made him, who had been struggling in the circle for many years but had never been able to officially get promoted, feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.
After all, he had always been ambitious about his career since he first entered this circle, and the ups and downs of those years had made him feel very frustrated.
Today, relying on his unique singing and dancing as well as his hard-trained singing skills, he has caught up with the talented singers like Alan Tam and Peter Chan who were famous for their good voices when they debuted, and achieved his long-desired goal in the music industry. To say that he is not talented is absolutely not the case, it is just that he is not lucky. No matter in the music or film industry, he has to face "partial talents" who are both talented and hardworking.
As a result, he, an all-rounder who scored above 95 points in all subjects, would naturally be overshadowed by those talented people who performed poorly on one hand but scored brilliantly on the other.
But in Su Yun's view, a versatile person like him can better withstand the impact of the changing times and the cruelty of the passage of time. In addition, his previous ups and downs have made him resistant to temporary setbacks, so the road he can take in the future will be much broader and wider than that of other people of the same period.
Among people of the same generation as Zhang Querong, he and Mei Yanshuang are the only two who have achieved such all-round development in both singing and acting to withstand the impact of the tide of the times.
Therefore, Su Yun seldom really intervened to help him up. At most, she would provide him with some resources when he was really having a hard time, and take advantage of him. The funny thing is that Zhang Querong, who paid more attention to his performance in the singing world and had a strong self-esteem, actually didn't quite like Su Yun's "help".
Although he cannot currently compose, produce and sell his own music like Chen Baiyang and others, thus avoiding the trouble of competing with a large group of people for resources, he would rather fight and rely on himself than have his friends always help him out.
With this kind of mentality, problems are bound to arise after success.
Simply put, after achieving enough success and satisfying expectations, people will inevitably develop a feeling of "floating", as if it is a belated rebellious period. During this period, it is difficult to listen to other people's advice. They must fall hard before they can realize it, grope their way out of this state slowly.
These two are indeed good brothers. Chen Baiyang was also quite high-spirited in the past two years. Don’t be fooled by his cute and obedient behavior in front of Su Yun. In front of outsiders, he has the character of a spoiled young master. It was not until he signed a long-term contract that he became too busy with work and was so tired that he no longer had much time to lose his temper...
Now, Chen Boyang has "improved" a little, but Zhang Querong has followed in his footsteps again: What good brothers, the traps they fall into are almost the same.
At this point in the movie's plot, after everyone in the bar discovered that David and Aaron's relationship did not seem as stiff as they thought, they gathered together and secretly planned to help these two former good brothers "reconcile."
Xiaobao, the only brother-con man who protested against this action, was scolded by Ah Yu, who had disliked him for a long time, and finally he could only be deposed miserably as a double-faced spy with the heaviest mission and the most blame in this operation: but who made him both Ah Long's subordinate and David's biological brother?
Those who are capable should work harder!
Ah Mei and the members of the serious crime team were in charge of A-Long's side, while Ah Yu, Xiao Bao and Qing Xia were in charge of David's side. After a series of ridiculous and counterproductive actions, the annoyed A-Long finally took the initiative to ask David out. The two stood on the bridge, gazing at the flowing water in the distance under the night sky, and recounted their experiences over the years.
"Actually, the main reason I came back this time was because I was afraid that if I didn't say it, I would never have the chance to say it again..." David hesitated as he spoke, "What happened back then..."
"Forget it, it's all in the past. No matter who Qingxia chose, it was her own choice. I didn't think straight at the time, so I quarreled with you and even said that I didn't want to see you again." A Long sighed, "Now that I think about it, I was more at fault."
"Don't think that way. I do have selfish motives in this..." David also sighed.
Seeing that the two of them just couldn't get to the point, the impatient Mei couldn't help herself and immediately came out from her hiding place: "Since everyone has talked about it, then don't worry about who is right or wrong, okay! Drive him to eat wonton noodles, and after eating, erase everything like chalk writing!"
"That's right, that's right!" After Ah Mei exposed everyone's position for no reason, the others had to come forward one after another.
"Don't give him a ride!" Xiao Bao was the only one who disagreed. He got angry when he thought of his brother and A-Long: when they had a very good relationship in the early years, the back seat of A-Long's motorcycle was reserved for his brother. In order to accompany A-Long, his brother could stay away from home for three years for the Spring Festival, leaving his younger brother alone at home...
Why does he dislike his boss Aaron? It's because Aaron not only can't afford to lose, but also has stolen his brother's love for many years!
However, before he could say anything more, he was forcibly covered his mouth by a group of people from the serious crime squad.
After being urged on by everyone with laughter, Aaron and David shook hands vigorously and drove away.
The sincere and ardent brotherhood and pure friendship between young people will never be completely unaffected once they are invaded by external factors.
But fortunately, we can look back in time and walk hand in hand again.
Before everyone could finish expressing their gratitude for having done a great thing together, A-Long, who had taken David for a spin, had already returned in his car: "A-Long, get out of the car, A-Mei, get in, I'll take you home."
"Why don't we go buy some wonton noodles and eat them while chatting in the dormitory?" The joy of reminiscing was too short-lived. David was very reluctant and occupied the back seat and refused to get off.
"Going back to the police dormitory? That was a long time ago. You and I moved out of the dormitory many years ago after graduating from school!" A Long said a few words to him, then forcefully pushed him to Qingxia's side.
Seeing that A-Long sincerely wished his good brother and the goddess to be together this time, A-Mei thought about it and thought that A-Long, this cheap sworn brother, probably wanted to go home early to cry but couldn't find an excuse to leave early, so he could only borrow her for a while... Then she nodded very neatly: "It just so happens that my aunt asked me to go home early tonight, saying that she bought me new clothes."
Even though her aunt's aesthetic taste is really exhausting, she has to try her best to cover up for her brother!
Amidst the noise of strange noises, A-Long drove away with A-Mei, who also liked to ride a motorcycle on the river.
"Could it be them?" Qingxia and David looked at each other and saw the speculation and smile in each other's eyes.
"Why are you looking at me? I won't give you a ride." Unlike David and Qingxia, who had such a tacit understanding, Xiaobao in this side compartment suddenly noticed that Ayu was looking at him, and he immediately said something unhappily.
"It doesn't matter." Ah Yu smiled meaningfully, but there was a hidden intention in her eyes that only the audience could see...
Not knowing how the people who stayed behind could get home, Ah Mei helped Ah Long shout twice to vent her anger, then patted his shoulder and said, "Are you really letting go? Do you want me to lend you my shoulder?"
"No need, I've let it go a long time ago, but I couldn't bring myself to reconcile with them. Now that I see they are all fine, I feel at ease." Aaron replied.
Ah Mei nodded and continued to open her hands, feeling the comfort brought by the cool breeze of the summer night.
On the way, she saw Boss Rong shopping with a foreign beauty with a great figure. Mei, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately waved her hand calmly and gave a simple hello.
"What's wrong with you?" The foreign beauty noticed that Boss Rong suddenly stopped leaving. She couldn't help but glance at Ah Mei, who looked particularly cheerful and charming in the night breeze. Her expression changed slightly. "Could it be that you like this type now?"
"How is that possible? She is a good friend of mine, and I promised her aunt that I would introduce her to someone!" Boss Rong smiled, "I just didn't expect that now it seems that I don't need to introduce her anymore..."
