Chapter 496: Love in the Years
After the first "Resident Evil 1: Parasite" made a fortune at the box office and gained word-of-mouth among horror films, niche films and gamers, Su Yun continued to shoot the "Resident Evil" series of films while also controlling affairs in Hong Kong through various remote communication methods.
It is worth mentioning that in this year, Xu Gujie, who brought Su Yun into the industry, held the "Glorious Retirement Concert" that he had prepared long ago, in front of many people's unbelievable eyes.
When they first heard the news, many people did not believe it - although Xu Gujie's adopted daughter Su Yun is already a big shot who can stand on her own, talented people in the circle always have a very long career, not to mention that the fourth child of the Xu family is only in his early forties.
His elder brother Xu Guwen was interviewed a few days ago and said that he could play a young actor in a movie!
However, Xu Guwen did not expect that his youngest brother would stab him in the back, so he used his dry sense of humor as the first generation comedy king to tease his younger brother at the star-studded concert.
In response to this, Xu Gujie smiled helplessly and explained that he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and was indeed a bit tired, so he wanted to retire early, travel around the world and enjoy life - of course, this was also influenced by the fact that many people in the music industry announced their retirement or no longer accepted competitive awards in the past few years.
In this turbulent era, there are too many powerful people hidden in the dark. Even though they try their best to shine, they are always dimmed by the bright lights around them.
But the development of things depends on those bright lights knowing how to continue to develop and being willing to carry those new glimmers of light.
Only in this way can we continue to see the new light of life from generation to generation, shining as brightly as the morning sun in the days to come.
When Mandarin and English songs were popular in this Cantonese-speaking region, he and a group of people worked together to create a new world for Cantonese Hong Kong music. Now that Cantonese Hong Kong music has become a symbol of the times, it is time for him to step back and watch the rise of a new generation.
"Sam had originally intended to give me his concert's closing song, 'Retreat from the Rapids', but unfortunately I already had his song 'Silence is Golden' at that time, so Sam took the song back and sang it himself," Zhang Querong lamented.
"Because the biggest influence on him was your previous retirement announcement." Chen Baiyang, who had just sang "What Do I Want in Life" on the stage, laughed.
"It turns out that you have ruined my adopted master!" Su Yun glared at him immediately.
"Hey, hey, hey, every wrong has its perpetrator. The one who took the initiative to 'quit' in the beginning was Alan..." Zhang Querong nodded at the other table, and then patted Chen Boyang who was forced to "quit" next to him.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Ever since he learned Mandarin and started to develop his career in mainland China, Chen Boyan's inspirational songs and non-love songs were very much in line with the preferences of mainland China at that time. In addition, he was able to write and compose, so even if he failed to catch up with the northward shift of the focus of film and television production, he could still make a name for himself in mainland China with his songs.
With increasingly busy work and rising popularity, Chen Baiyang no longer has time to worry about anything. If this star-studded concert was not of great significance and he had tried his best to get it, he might not have been able to find time to return to Hong Kong to participate.
"It's the same for me. Ever since Farewell My Concubine was released, I've been in a mess. If I dare to go out, I have to be prepared to be chased by a bunch of people. And no matter how I disguise myself, they can always find me accurately..." Zhang Querong looked as if he couldn't bear to look back.
"Oh, I read the newspaper. You dared to go out in the street wearing a tank top and shorts, and squatted next to some uncles to watch others playing chess. In the end, you were recognized." Chen Boyang nodded, "If it weren't for the newspaper I dare not admit that the person with all the misplaced eyes, ears, mouth and nose is you..."
"Who wouldn't be like this when they're frightened?" Zhang Querong slapped him again in annoyance, "Hey, that person isn't here, and you're fighting with me again? Mary doesn't have time to pay attention to us now!"
Although Zhuang Long has released several albums, he does not have close relationships with people in Hong Kong. In addition, due to the huge popularity of "M. Butterfly" in Japan, he has been invited to star in several new dramas, so he simply cannot spare the time to come back.
This is a good opportunity for both of them to show off their talents in front of Su Yun!
"I'm just used to it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chen Boyang apologized repeatedly.
Zhang Querong nodded in satisfaction. "That's more or less the case. But it's useless for us to fight until our heads are broken and bloodied. Mary's mind is not on us right now. Oh... Wow! What is this?!"
Before they could finish their sigh, they were shocked by the situation on the stage. Zhang Querong and Chen Baiyang carefully identified the picture on the fluorescent screen, and then they both laughed out loud: "It must be Mary's good thing!"
At this time, Tan Yunlun, who was standing on the stage singing, also knew about his dark history of dressing as a woman to chase stars, which was exposed by Su Yun who secretly contacted the host.
Seeing his photo of himself in women's clothing displayed in front of the audience, although he was socially embarrassed, Tan Yunlun, who was strong enough inside, laughed out loud. Then he simply took out his treasured concert ticket from his pocket and walked up to Xu Gujie and shouted: "This is the ticket I bought to watch this concert that year. You see, I still kept it well... Sam, you will always be my idol!"
Xu Gujie accepted the enthusiasm of this crazy fan with a smile and looked at Su Yun: "How come you have so many weird things?"
"If you have the will, you will have it. Besides, Master Qi, you know that I have been a genius since I was a child and I know how to build a camera. Many of these things were taken by me before." Su Yun smiled mysteriously, "I have more than one on hand..."
With a system of golden fingers that transcends the times to help record videos, she really has the "old history" and "dark history" of many people.
When I have some free time in the future, it would be fun to make a true documentary...
Chen Boyang and Zhang Querong froze when they heard Su Yun's words: Yes, Su Yun used to take strange machines to shoot here and there, and they knew each other for a long time. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Yun must have countless black histories on his hands...
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a heartless person." Su Yun said with a smile after noticing the strangeness of the two people.
But when you act "unscrupulously", you are simply not a human being - they scream in their hearts, but on the surface, Chen Boyang and Zhang Querong can only support each other and continue to smile dryly.
However, after the concert, the two enemies couldn't help but ask Su Yun about her schedule at the same time: "When will you come back next time?"
"I just discussed the urban construction plan in mainland China with my eldest brother not long ago, but I'm also very busy filming here, so I might as well try to coordinate and arrange it." Su Yun thought for a moment and replied.
Seeing the two of them looking thoughtful, Su Yun added, "Why, are you worried about me?"
"Just remember to come back." Chen Baiyang and Zhang Querong were silent for a while, then spoke in unison again.
"Don't worry, we will still watch the fireworks over Victoria Harbor together at 97 o'clock!" Su Yun said with a smile.
The Hong Kong area will set off fireworks on festivals or nights when major events occur. Fireworks are the most beautiful colors of that special day, so for nearly a hundred years, everyone has been looking forward to the arrival of that grand fireworks display.
And she also wanted to see the miraculous colorful lights and shadows with her own eyes with some people she cared about.
"It's a pity that there are so few people you want to make a fireworks appointment with?" He said this with a smile when Su Yun came to Japan according to the schedule and visited Zhuang Long.
"Yes, I want to invite everyone I can. It would be so nice if everyone can have a lively time!" Su Yun responded without blinking.
"You..." Knowing that Su Yun was pretending to be ignorant, Zhuang Long couldn't help laughing.
After a while, he finally surrendered to Su Yun's double attack of inviting eyes and holding hands: "No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of yourself."
"Don't worry. Recently, my aunt and sister have taken my mother-in-law on vacation again. If I am free while filming there, I can drive to the vacation villa to drink Ai Xin Lao Huo Tang..." After Su Yun responded obediently, she said goodbye to Zhuang Long who was also busy with work and flew to Hollywood to continue filming the movie.
The first live-action movie of "Resident Evil" has swept the world with its unique horror science fiction style, and Monica has become the new battle goddess after Su Yun. While the iron is hot, Su Yun and Romero quickly launched "Resident Evil 2: Nightmare City".
In this film, Claire, a female college student who is always considered to be troublesome, confirms in Raccoon City, where monsters are rampant, that her brother Chris has gone to Africa for vacation before the biochemical crisis. So she and the new police officer Leon split up to search for a way to escape from the nightmare city of Raccoon City.
In the story of Claire, after successfully saving a little girl named Shirley, she successfully assumed the responsibility of a protector and gained physical and mental growth.
Meanwhile, in this nightmare city, rookie police officer Leon witnessed the good and bad of human nature and the helplessness of reality during this unique induction ceremony - looking at his zombie colleagues under the welcome banner, watching the gun shop owner who distributed the store's merchandise for free after the crisis eventually locked himself and his infected daughter in the room, watching those who, after being bitten, still tried their best to help the survivors...
"I became a policeman to help people like them!" Facing the mysterious agent Ada who came to investigate, he shouted angrily, "I can't wait to see the umbrella company brought to justice."
After they joined forces to fight against Dr. William who developed the virus and accepted the entrustment of Shirley's mother Dr. Annie, Leon and Claire, who were full of the intention to fight crime, could never imagine that Ada, who claimed to be here to investigate the situation and collect information to expose the crimes of the umbrella company, was actually a mercenary hired by Wesker in order to resell the virus information for money.
At this time, the laboratory was about to collapse, and Ada confronted Leon, who was covering Claire and Shirley's escape, in a bridge passage.
Dr. Annie took her last breath and took the opportunity to sneak attack Ada and knock her down. At this moment, Leon discovered that there was no bullet in Ada's gun.
It was not until he caught up with the train leaving the laboratory before the collapse that Leon remembered the man who had done many bad things and deceived them, but at the last critical moment, he threw them a rocket launcher that could be used to deal with the Boss Tyrant and then quietly left.
That figure, who was both good and evil, became an everlasting dream in his mind.
There is no doubt that this movie has once again become a box office hit and has once again promoted two new actors - in response to this, stock traders who are superstitious about Su Yun's "truth about stock trading" are even more excited, saying that if Mary Sue has time to promote so many newcomers recently, they must also hurry up and buy in...
Thanks to his role as the rookie police officer Leon in "Resident Evil 2", Leon has once again regained the peak of popularity. Together with his good friend Toby who participated in "The Brink of Law", they have become "the most promising future star" in the eyes of the media.
Perhaps movie series are all about taking advantage of the heat. In the following years, Su Yun and Romero continued to excel. The follow-up to "Resident Evil 3: Code Veronica" greatly boosted the popularity and commercial value of the two leading actors, River and Weisz.
Soon after, there was another film, "Resident Evil 4: The Goodbye", which solidified the CP of Leon, a mature government agent, and Ada, a mysterious oriental beauty, and brought about a common carnival in the gaming and horror film industries. At the same time, it also led to the overall worldview that although the umbrella company has been sanctioned, the biochemical virus and subsequent "improved" viruses are still circulating around the world...
After this film, many film critics changed their previous evaluation that the "Resident Evil" series was just commercial popcorn movies, and instead believed that it used an alternative perspective to show the original sin of human nature - it was for this reason that although the biological virus could not truly fight against the increasingly powerful thermal weapons, it also spread to all parts of the world, triggering new biological crises when people least expected it.
Then, the fifth part, "Resident Evil 5: Fear in the Sun", was released, starring the original protagonists Chris and Jill, and brought the protagonists who were scattered everywhere to fight the biohazard together one after another.
In the end, "Resident Evil 6: Final Chapter", which brings together all the protagonists of the series, will finally face the end of a long story and a new beginning with hope at the intersection of three plot lines.
Because most of the scenes of "Ada" played by Su Yun in the sixth film involve high-altitude combat in a helicopter, she pulled Tom, who had already obtained a helicopter pilot's license, over - Tom had visited the set many times when the second film was being filmed, and finally succeeded in getting the opportunity to play the easter egg "Fourth Survivor" from Su Yun, playing a member of the team sent by the umbrella company to deal with Dr. William, code-named "Ghost".
Because Dr. William and his friend Wesker had already planned to run away with the virus and sell it for money, the umbrella company that discovered the situation sent people from both sides to prepare for the attack.
As a result, this team that seemed to have a sure win was almost wiped out by Dr. William, who was unwilling to be captured and took the initiative to inject the virus to turn into a monster.
The Ghost Soldier was caught by Ada who pretended to be dead and fell off a bridge while escaping with the virus. Later, he broke away from the umbrella and became Ada's partner. In the ending of the fourth movie, with a scene lasting less than a minute, he successfully intercepted Agent Leon who was watching Ada's intention to take action.
Most of the audience at the time laughed because "Leon failed to catch his wife again today", but a few years later, many silly netizens started to play the actor's joke, saying that "Ada" must have chosen to escape on the helicopter of the Zhuangzhi Lingyun pilot Liangtang, and resolutely let go of the vehicle killer "Leon" who could sink the Titanic...
Back to the point, Su Yun, who was practicing flying a helicopter, looked at the route map and asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there." Tom turned around and smiled brightly.
Knowing that this guy with a Samoyed-like smile would not cheat her, Su Yun followed the route plan and parked the helicopter in a field with Tom.
"This is..." Following Tom's guidance and looking forward, even Su Yun, who was used to strong winds and waves, was subconsciously shocked for a moment.
He built a small house at the place where the two of them first met. It was obviously modeled after the heroine's house in the movie "The Fault in Our Stars". He also planted a tall sycamore tree in the yard. It looked like it must have taken several years of careful preparation for it to grow into such a lush and leafy appearance!
The most "scary" thing is that her name is on the property certificate for this cottage and the large piece of land around it!
Even though the land price in such a remote town is not very expensive, such good intentions and such a large investment... are really overly touching.
"How long have you been preparing?" Su Yun covered her mouth, but couldn't help but ask softly.
"It all started when I expressed my feelings to you on the red-eye flight. However, due to time and financial constraints, I didn't get the chance to give them to you until today..." Tom chattered to Su Yun about how he would come back to work whenever he had time. "Most of them I learned to do by myself. Only the main frame of the cabin I didn't have time to learn, so I hired someone to build it..."
Su Yun took a complicated look at the ugly ring on his hand, and then looked at the exquisite and thoughtful cottage in front of him - the gap between this first work and the latest work really makes people feel his intentions.
"What do you mean?" However, when Su Yun saw the familiar wooden sign at the door, she immediately transformed this moving look into one with endless significance.
Perhaps because he had been in the Hollywood world of fame and fortune for many years, Tom was able to keep his composure under Su Yun's gaze: "When we first met, didn't you see me on the lawn in front of my house?"
"So I just used the configuration of my home to give this little house, which I watched built with my own hands,... a little unique mark of mine." He said this without blushing or panting.
After all, he had hinted and hinted at it many times, but Su Yun still couldn't accept it.
But at least... with this "gift" here, she will eventually remember the people and events that happened in this town, as well as those beautiful memories that will last forever.
That was the moment when he was most confused in his life. A ray of light that parted the clouds and revealed the moon, and a clear and transparent call came to him.
So at the moment the two met, it was as if this complex world finally opened its tightly closed arms to him, allowing him to see a future with infinite possibilities through this ray of light.
"I just thought that if you have an asset of some value here, you would at least remember to come back here and take a look when you have time occasionally." Tom looked at him with an unusually serious, deeply moving look.
After hearing his explanation, Su Yun lowered her eyes at first, and then took the initiative to meet his gaze and smiled: "If there is a chance... I would rather take time to come back here occasionally with someone who is more 'valuable'."
"There will definitely be a chance." Tom smiled.
Although he still didn't get a definite answer, he could understand from Su Yun's attitude that no matter what the future would be like, their feelings would remain unchanged.
At this stage when both physical and mental development is approaching, it is difficult for any excessively burning emotion or love to resist the strong temptation to develop a career.
He and those people have not lost yet, and the real winner has not yet been determined - because the goal they are pursuing together is still not romantic.
"I won't give up." Even though he knew that others had probably said the same thing, Tom still reiterated his determination in front of Su Yun at this moment, "When the fireworks over Victoria Harbour are in full bloom, I will go to the scene and listen to you tell me about that century-old story."
"I'm looking forward to it." Su Yun smiled and smoothed her long hair, then turned her head to look at Tom, "It's almost time, let's go back."
The two men walked towards the helicopter parked in the field. In a trance, Tom vaguely remembered a scene from the movie "Edge of Tomorrow".
In that movie, the hero tried countless times to save the heroine and create a perfect ending.
As for my real self, I will definitely not give up easily. Instead, I will work harder to fight for the possible future of my dream.
What's more, he is much luckier in real life than the hero in the movie - looking sideways at Su Yun who is sitting with him in the driver's seat, Tom suddenly reveals an extremely happy smile.
Sometimes, you don't need any words to sense what the other person is thinking at the moment.
Just like his hearty laugh, and just like her smile of feeling.
The wind in the wilderness brings the breath from afar, sweeping in with the boundless vitality of the vast world and all things, as if allowing people to ride on the wind, fly across the sky and the ocean, and see the human world, life and death day and night.
