Chapter 417: Brothers at odds

After the release of "Edge of Tomorrow", it has undoubtedly occupied the largest traffic this month, especially in Asia. Whether in Hong Kong or Japan, the schedule is rising every day, which makes people feel nervous when watching it.

A movie that can touch people's hearts will always have something irresistible about it, just like when facing the same thing, there will always be people who are happy and people who are sad.

Although I don’t really like the partnership between Su Yun and Tom in Edge of Tomorrow, it is undeniable that this is a pretty good commercial blockbuster. In fact, because of such a novel subject matter, the original commercial positioning has gained some ideas of an art film.

During his time in San Francisco, Chen Boyang not only studied and improved his musical skills, but also regained the rare freedom of not being watched by paparazzi.

Of course, the fact that his relationship with Su Yun had made some progress also made him feel happy and sad, full of contradictions.

What makes you happy is, without a doubt, that the person you like also has feelings for you; and what makes you sad is, of course, that the person you like is too outstanding, there are too many rivals for love and you are unable to stand out among them.

Especially Zhuang Long, a man Su Yun is very optimistic about, and the two have known each other for many years and have worked together many times. His mature, reserved, yet tolerant and gentle charm is exactly what he or Zhang Querong, a young man who has not reached this stage yet, can possess.

The aesthetic taste of this era tends towards mature and attractive charm, and although Su Yun likes younger peers, she is inevitably influenced by the mainstream aesthetic taste of this era - or in other words, compared to her younger peers, she probably prefers the mature type.

The most terrifying thing is that Tom, a guy who doesn't play by the rules, suddenly caused such a big scene, forcing Su Yun to clean up his mess, which gave her the opportunity to sneak away for a long distance.

Under these two-pronged circumstances, if he had a prominent position, he would have preferred to give up this rare opportunity for further study and to stay with Su Yun 24 hours a day to prevent the wolves and tigers outside from snatching her away without noticing.

To put it bluntly, the current problem is that he is only slightly better than a "good friend", and Su Yun has that kind of personality. If he rashly expresses any opinions, perhaps his position in Su Yun's heart will immediately retreat after he has made a little progress with great difficulty...

Therefore, even if you have mixed feelings about Su Yun's recent movies like Akina Nakamori, you can only try to ignore the uncomfortable points and appreciate Su Yun's works instead.

Before he knew it, another day had passed. While practicing the piano in the evening, Chen Boyang suddenly received a call from an old friend in Hong Kong.

This old friend is the owner of a clothing store. In addition to normal business, another main product is unique custom-made styles. When he and Zhang Querong were preparing for concerts in Hong Kong, they would always have a few of their performance clothes customized in this store.

However, in recent years, as the business has grown, the store owner has planned to set up his own brand, and earlier invited him and Zhang Querong to cooperate: Zhang Jiajia's original intention was to let Zhang Querong make women's clothing, and he also wanted to try to create his own men's clothing brand, so this old friend set his sights on their popularity and ability.

After once again declining his old friend's invitation to collaborate over the phone, Chen Boyang chatted with her for a while, and he inevitably mentioned Su Yun in his conversation - as they were separated by two places, news from Hong Kong could not be transmitted back in time, so he could only comfort his longing for Su Yun by reading about relevant reports about her.

The owner of the clothing store did not suspect anything and simply mentioned that Su Yun's recent movie was very good and the box office was also quite good. After thinking for a while, he mentioned something gossipy: "By the way, that day Mary Sue came to the store to buy something through her sister's introduction, and Lesley also came here to find me to customize his costumes. The two of them bumped into each other, and Lesley even gave Mary Sue a reference..."

"Isn't this normal? If I meet friends when I'm buying clothes, I'll ask them for some advice," Chen Boyang said as a matter of course.

"Do you know what they bought?" The owner of the clothing store lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Marie Sue originally picked one in black and one in white, but later Lesley picked out a pink one for her..."

"There's nothing wrong with this color. Mary can wear it and it should look good on her." Chen Boyang was even more confused.

The owner of the clothing store was about to be irritated by this young man who could not be awakened at all, so he endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help it and told him the truth about which style this "pink color" was related to.

"Danny? What's wrong with you?" After saying what he had been holding back for a long time, he felt relieved, but there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. The owner of the clothing store was a little confused. "I remember that you had a crush on Mary Sue before, and Lesley helped you pursue her. But now...it seems like they want to be closer?"

"In terms of closeness, Mary and I are closer. However, Lesley has also been pursuing Mary recently. We both agreed to compete fairly, so please keep it a secret for us for the time being." Chen Boyang took a deep breath and paused for a while before replying.

"Oh...oh, okay, I understand." Knowing that this was not a surprise attack to steal someone's love, the owner of the clothing store put down his worry and promised to keep it a secret for them.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Boyang sat quietly in the dark for an unknown amount of time. Finally, he dialed a phone number that was extremely familiar but which he had not called for a long time.

When Zhang Querong received his call, it was just a short break. He had originally planned to take a nap to catch up on some sleep, but when he heard Chen Boyang's question, he immediately laughed: "I don't know whether I should be happy that you don't doubt me, or angry that you don't think the target is me."

"Stop beating around the bush. Is it that person?" Chen Boyang asked impatiently.

"If it's not him, then who else could it be?" Zhang Querong sneered again, "On the surface, he pretends to be gentle, tolerant and calm, but in fact, he has a head full of rigid and old-fashioned ideas. He quarreled with Mary just because of you and Tom."

"If you have some backbone, you should leave voluntarily, but I'm just trying to show you how much compensation you want from Mary. Tsk." Zhang Querong's character has always been direct, and the media has often made a fuss about this in the past. , and now he is facing his former good brother who has a similar problem with him, so his words are naturally thorny.

Chen Boyang asked about Su Yun's recent situation. Zhang Querong told him some of what he knew, and for the rest he just responded, "She started flying again after the Chinese New Year. That's all I know."

"But she will be back soon and go to Cannes with you," Chen Boyang said again.

"So?" Hearing this, Zhang Querong's heart moved: Could it be that he discovered his plan?

"I've known you for so many years, and of course I want to do you the best for you, but unfortunately, we are now 'enemies'." Chen Baiyang sighed, "But sometimes when facing a powerful enemy, it's not impossible to 'cooperate' a little."

"You mean..." It seemed that Chen Boyang's words surprised him more than his plan being discovered.

"I don't know when Mary will be able to make up her mind, but at least in the future there will definitely be a long time..." Chen Baiyang said, his voice getting lower and lower, "So, instead of letting an 'outsider' that I don't like get my favorite, I might as well cooperate with my 'brothers' to drive the outsiders away first, and then compete for the final winner."

Since the water is already turbulent, let's make it more turbulent so that we can pull down the one running in the front.

"If I lose in the end, I can only accept losing to you."

Zhang Querong listened in silence to his inner voice which had been the product of countless struggles, and the next moment after he finished speaking, he said thank you in an inaudible voice.

"Don't thank me. Even if I don't allow you, you can still pursue Mary. She has never been someone's appendage. Instead, we are all her pursuers." Chen Baiyang said slowly, "I do this purely for myself."

But if he still minds it, when will I be able to overcome the complexity in my heart and bravely fight for it, just like what happened that night?

These three people are very important to the other two.

If it weren't for this damn love that makes people love and hate, the three of them should have been very good friends, from the high spirits of their youth to the gray hair and grizzled faces of their old age.

"No matter what, I have to thank you for choosing to cooperate with me." Zhang Querong said finally.

"This is not cooperation, but a temporary alliance under certain circumstances. When there are no external enemies, you and I will still compete fairly, based on our own abilities."

What they didn't know at that time was that because of this phone call, a devil school called "Red and White Roses" was successfully created, which was actually the "Red and Purple Twin Devils" -

It is well known that in Hong Kong, Zhang Querong's representative color is red, while Chen Po-yang's representative color is purple.

This reference simply and clearly summarizes the truth that the fans of the two groups sometimes hug each other warmly, and sometimes fight to the death.

After all, in addition to arguing about normal comparative factors such as appearance, personality, and achievements, they also quarrel from time to time after the gossip leaks out, for the status of their respective protagonists in Su Yun's heart.

The latter was particularly popular, and it provided Hong Kong people with many fantastic shows.

After entering the Internet era, this group of guys also tore the paper carrier to the network carrier, and finally successfully sent the names of their respective masters to the list of must-have recipes for provoking conflicts on major online social platforms - and they are all long-standing brands that have been passed down to this day, timeless, and of guaranteed quality...

But what’s interesting is that whenever other CP fans appear in such a gossip melee, the two groups, which are almost brainwashed, can reconcile on the spot and quickly gather together, and then work together in a tacit understanding to launch a "strategic defense counterattack", with a shameless attitude of one plus one is greater than two, and forcibly crush other single CP fan groups...

Later, people came up with a conclusion about this grand melon feast:

There is an old saying: Brothers quarrel within the walls, and guard against insults from outside.

To put it simply in modern terms, it means "first we team up to get rid of the outsiders, and then we two will slowly tear each other apart..."
