Fang Shiyan and Jiang Ruyue's movie was released, and Wen Yixing invited Sheng Xia to go see it together.
In the movie theater, Sheng Xia held popcorn in her arms, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.
Wen Yixing smiled and said, "Say whatever you want to say."
Sheng Xia was incredulous: "What do you mean? Why do you insist on watching Fang Shiyan's movie? There are so many good movies to watch today, why do you have to watch his?"
"No, you finally got a divorce, don't tell me you still like him. There are plenty of good men in the world. If all else fails, I'll introduce you to a few!"
Sheng Xia got a little excited while speaking, and her voice grew louder, causing the two girls sitting in front of her to turn around and look at her.
The summer heat instantly subsided as she whispered in Wen Yixing's ear, "Please, please don't do anything rash!"
Wen Yixing grabbed a handful of popcorn and fed it to her: "Of course not."
As Sheng Xia chewed on popcorn, she asked, puzzled, "So why did you watch Fang Shiyan's movies?"
Wen Yixing: "This movie was produced by Fang Shiyan's company. I want to see his level and how his acting skills are now."
"Huh?" Sheng Xia was surprised. "I really didn't know that this movie was produced by Fang Shiyan's company. He shouldn't be the director... But objectively speaking, Fang Shiyan's acting skills are still pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't have been popular for so many years."
"He is not the director of this film, but the director will listen to his opinions."
Wen Yixing had seen the script a long time ago. The script was a thick stack, with Fang Shiyan annotating and revising it page by page.
Objectively speaking, Fang Shiyan does have some ability in doing things.
If he weren't so busy with company matters and instead focused on directing or acting, he would definitely have achieved even greater success in the field.
Sheng Xia realized: "So this movie was actually polished by Fang Shiyan?"
Wen Yixing: "Yes."
Summer: "I'm a little curious too."
As the two chatted, the movie started.
The movie is a light science fiction film with particularly beautiful special effects.
Less than five minutes later, Sheng Xia exclaimed softly, "Wow, that's a lot of money! How much will this cost?"
As one of the most promising films of the year, Fang Shiyan features actors with both acting skills and good looks, and the opening plot is also quite captivating. The audience in the theater was unusually quiet, completely absorbed in the story.
Even Shengxia initially didn't want to watch it, but gradually got hooked halfway through.
Fang Shiyan appears later in the story; he plays a young general.
In order to give humanity a last hope, the general led a squad of fifty men on a journey. They went through countless hardships and dangers. The squad of fifty men was either killed or wounded, and in the end, only three men survived.
At the last moment, the general placed the flame of hope in the hands of the male and female protagonists, while he lured away the monsters, leaving all his supplies to them.
It was only then that the audience realized that the general had been seriously injured long before, and he had dragged the male and female protagonists to the brink of success despite his exhaustion.
The general's death was so tragic that some people in the movie theater had already begun to shed tears.
"Damn, this guy's got something. Fang Shiyan really is something."
Sheng Xia couldn't hold back her tears. She wiped her face and sighed, "Fang Shiyan really knows how to pick scripts for himself. This general's death is so tragic and so heartbreaking. He's really captivating."
Wen Yixing remained expressionless throughout, standing out from the tearful audience around her.
She agreed with Sheng Xia, "Indeed, he is very talented in this area."
Sheng Xia: "But I think Fang Shiyan is playing himself, because he seems to be very similar to his own personality."
Wen Yixing: "There are still some differences in the subtle details."
The general is portrayed as aloof and taciturn, much like Fang Shiyan's own personality.
However, Fang Shiyan did portray the gentle heart beneath the general's cold exterior very delicately.
Wen Yixing could sense that the general in the movie and the real Fang Shiyan were completely different people.
After the movie ended, many people felt a little unsatisfied.
Sheng Xia and Wen Yixing left the movie theater and went to a nearby coffee shop to rest.
During the break, Sheng Xia thought of something. She leaned closer to Wen Yixing and asked, "Yixing, do you remember what we said on the mountain the year we graduated from high school?"
Wen Yixing certainly remembered, and she nodded with a smile: "I remember."
That hot summer, they went hiking together after finishing their college entrance exams.
With the college entrance exam over, everyone felt as if they were freed from that invisible shackle and could play without restraint.
Five classmates were climbing the mountain that year, and they shared their hopes for the future with each other on the way.
"I remember I really liked a celebrity back then, and I even stood on the mountaintop and shouted down the mountain, 'I want to become the most famous stylist in the entertainment industry in the future.'"
Sheng Xia laughed, "So many years have passed, and the celebrities I liked back then have all gained weight and I don't like them anymore. I didn't become a stylist, but I did sell clothes for many years."
That summer, she didn't receive good news; she underperformed in the college entrance exam and could only choose a less-than-ideal school.
Moreover, she was forced by her family to choose a major she didn't like, and in the end, she found it too painful to study and dropped out halfway through the summer.
"I remember you used to really like Wong Kar-wai's movies, and you said you wanted to be a great director in the future!"
Sheng Xia looked at Wen Yixing with bright eyes. As her best friend of many years, Sheng Xia seemed to understand Wen Yixing's thoughts.
She looked at Wen Yixing and asked seriously, "Yixing, you still want to make movies, right?"
