Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "One subconsciously leaned over, and...
New Year's Day is on February 9th, and the summer episode of "Happy Big Bang" airs on January 31st, which is almost the time for winter vacation.
"Night Rain" is a martial arts film. In the show, Xia Ji specially performed a sword dance to cooperate with Xu Yuan. The young man in black clothes and white skin, as agile as a dragon, became very popular. The video of the sword dance became a hit on major platforms.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Night Rain" was successfully released. I participated in several promotional activities in the summer and then did not take any other work.
The relative that Ding Man had told them about was getting married in the first month of the lunar year. The date was set for the eighth day, but the weather on that day was not very good. The weather forecast said that the rain would turn into snow and it would be very cold.
It was only five o'clock when Si Cheng came downstairs, and Ding Man and Si Guanqing were already dressed and ready to go.
"Why are you alone? Where is Ji Ji?" Ding Man asked.
"I haven't woken up yet. Is it necessary to come so early?" Si Cheng asked. He just came to the study downstairs to look for a document.
"Earlier is better. We are going to the man's house now to see if there is anything we can help with. You should wake up Ji Ji quickly and arrive by six o'clock at the latest." After Ding Man finished speaking, the servant came in and told her that the car was ready, and then hurried away with Si Guanqing.
Xia Ji was sleeping soundly in the summer, hugging the quilt with her pajamas rolled up, revealing a few clear fingerprints on her slender waist.
Si Cheng returned to the room, dealt with some urgent work emails, went to the bathroom to wash up before calling Xia Ji.
Xia Nian couldn't even open his eyes, and he slept wherever he was dug up. Si Cheng held him for a long time before waking him up. He coaxed him to wash up and change into a groomsman's suit. By the time they were both ready, it was already past six o'clock.
There was no time to eat, so Si Cheng asked someone to bring him some bread and milk to eat on the way.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom passed through the quiet streets in the early morning. Xia Tian, holding a milk carton in his mouth, looked out the window and murmured, "It's not even daybreak yet, and we're leaving so early."
"We still have to put on makeup and help prepare some things for the wedding. It's already late after six o'clock." Si Cheng also glanced at the sky outside, took out another wet wipe, and wiped the bread sauce that accidentally got on the corner of Xia Tian's mouth.
It's not the beginning of spring yet, it's still winter. Even on sunny days, the sun rises around seven o'clock. What's more, it's a rainy day today, and the sky looks even darker.
Si Cheng was replying to a work message. Xia Ji leaned over to take a look and found that he had actually changed the wallpaper to his photo.
"Oh my god, you are so brave. Aren't you afraid of being seen by your uncles and aunts?" Xia Ji said in surprise.
"Just see it." Si Cheng said.
"When did you change?"
"Just now."
Xia Tian gave a thumbs-up. “6.”
Si Cheng glanced at him speechlessly and put away his phone.
This relative was also from Ding Man's side. It was the wedding of her cousin's son. When the two arrived at the man's house, many people had already come.
The detached villa with a small courtyard was full of people. Almost all the relatives, uncles and aunts, had come. Xia Ji and Si Cheng were sent to put on makeup as soon as they entered the door.
The boys took a short time to put on makeup, and including styling their hair it only took about twenty minutes.
There are three banquets today, one at the bride's home when they pick up the bride, one at a manor in the suburbs, and one at their bridal chamber.
The one at the manor is the most grand, and the people who come are basically friends and businessmen of the two families. There are a lot of people. The two will hold the ceremony there and then return to the wedding room in the city center after it.
There are eight groomsmen, and it is not Xia Ji's turn to drink, but he can drink now. However, he is there just to make up the numbers. The man's family thinks that he is good-looking and tall enough, so it is prestigious to be a groomsman.
In more than half a year, Xia's height has reached 180 cm. It's no wonder that he drinks milk every day. He has barely reached the standard he set for himself.
After accompanying the man to pick up the bride and have fun in the bridal chamber, he basically has nothing to do.
There were a bunch of people sitting in the living room of the bridal chamber, talking, playing cards and mahjong everywhere. Some people were playing games connected to the TV in the living room, and Xia Ji also joined in.
After watching for a while, he went to the bathroom. When he came back, he saw Si Cheng sitting on the sofa chatting with someone. When he saw Xia Ji, he waved at him.
Xia Ji sat down next to Si Cheng and subconsciously lay on Si Cheng. Si Cheng also hugged him very naturally. The people next to him didn't feel anything wrong and continued to talk to Si Cheng. Si Cheng listened carefully and responded occasionally.
However, one of the elders noticed something was wrong and said to Si Guanqing, "Aren't you two a little too close?"
The two men stood in the corridor on one side of the yard and smoked. They could see the scene in the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Si Guanqing looked back and didn't feel anything was wrong. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hugs and kisses, follows each other wherever they go, inseparable." The person who spoke was Ding Man's uncle, cousin, who was not much older than Si Guanqing.
"They've been close since they were young, what's the matter?"
"One subconsciously leaned over, and the other subconsciously hugged her. Normal boys wouldn't interact like this. We're already so old now, and we should be getting married in a few years. What will we do if we have a girlfriend then?"
Si Guanqing hissed, "I haven't thought of that yet."
"Sicheng is the only one in your family. Do you plan to let him date on his own, or do you have a girl you like?"
"Let me ask Manman. I haven't thought about this. Sicheng has always had his own ideas since he was a child. I can't make the decision for him if he doesn't want to."
"That's right. Si Cheng is very capable. With his ability, it doesn't matter whether he marries or not. Unlike that kid from the Ye family, he really can't do without a capable wife."
After smoking, Si Guanqing walked outside to get rid of the smell before going to find Ding Man.
Ding Man and several cousins sat in the bridal chamber and chatted with the bride, telling her stories about the groom's childhood, which made the bride smile.
Being called out suddenly, Ding Man was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Si Guanqing asked directly: "Have you ever thought about how our Si Cheng will get married?"
Ding Man also said directly: "No."
The couple looked at each other, both speechless.
Ding Man: "Who have you seen him get close to?"
Si Guanqing didn't even think about it: "Summer."
Ding Man: “…”
Ding Man shook her head and left.
Si Guanqing thought back to Si Cheng's usual aggressive personality and said to himself, "Yeah, for someone like him, it's good enough that someone wants him."
He was looking for someone to marry him to, and the girl, who had a similar family background and a clean background, was also a spoiled little princess who couldn't stand his temper.
Find someone with an ordinary family background. The reason why they can tolerate your temper is probably because they give you a lot.
After thinking about it over and over again, Si Guanqing felt it was very difficult. Finally, he decided to do the same as Ding Man and stop thinking about it. Let Si Cheng do whatever he wants.
The winter vacation passed quickly, and the box office of New Year's movie season was almost divided.
In the first few days, the popularity of "Night Rain" was not as high as "Boyhood Again", and the box office was also far behind. But after a few days of release, the box office began to soar. However, because it is a revenge movie, it does not fit the appeal of a New Year's family comedy. Even though it has a good reputation among young people, the box office has not caught up with "Boyhood Again".
In the end, "Young Boys" earned 3.1 billion yuan at the box office, and "Night Rain" earned 2.7 billion yuan.
The online ratings for "Young Boys" are 7.1 points and "Night Rain" are 9.1 points.
The young man played by Xia Ji was born into a family of officials. Because of his poor health when he was born, his family sought help from a Taoist priest and he was finally taken to the mountains by a Taoist priest.
He lived in the mountains for more than ten years, practicing martial arts, not caring about worldly affairs, and living a clean and simple life.
When he was eighteen years old, his master suddenly drove him down the mountain, saying that he had important matters to attend to and must return to the capital in time.
The young man went down the mountain for the first time to experience the past and found his family. He learned that his entire family had been executed. After asking around, he learned that his younger sister had been sent to the Jiaofangsi to be a court prostitute.
When I found my sister, she had been tortured beyond recognition and passed away within two days.
The young man found out the truth step by step, and finally discovered that the source of the disaster was the tyrant emperor who protected corrupt officials, and decided to assassinate the tyrant emperor himself.
By disguising himself, he entered the Jiaofangsi, practiced dancing, and infiltrated the palace dance troupe. On the birthday of the tyrant emperor, he completed the assassination and escaped successfully.
The heroine is a lady-in-waiting of the palace dance troupe, but her relationship with the boy is hidden behind a veil. She discovered the boy's identity but didn't tell anyone.
When the young man left, he also helped her redeem herself from a lowly status to a good status.
As a martial arts revenge drama, the ending of this drama is very good, but the part where the sister dies in the middle is a pain point for many people.
There are many people who have created secondary works for this movie online. Xia’s Weibo followers increased by more than five million in a month, making him a well-known figure in the film industry. Many people recognize his acting skills.
More people regretted watching "Young Boys" and owed a movie ticket for "Night Rain".
Among the new generation, Xia Ji's performance in "Night Rain" can be said to be outstanding.
He is a talented actor. In his previous life, he entered the industry midway and won three Best Actor awards.
Because of my studies and young age, I only played in children's plays or small supporting roles. Even if I was remembered, the limelight always went to the leading actor.
"Night Rain" is different. It is his first film showing himself in the adult world and it is the first shot in his career.
She followed the director on red carpets everywhere and was also kissed in various business scripts and variety shows.
His agent helped him carefully select only the best. Even so, he was very busy throughout the first half of the summer. However, compared to other artists, he was much more relaxed and had plenty of time to rest.
In May, the main creative team of "Night Rain" received an invitation to the Star Film Festival.
As the highest award in the Chinese film industry, the Star Film Festival is of great importance. Over the past decade since its establishment, the works selected have always been the best and are highly recognized by every filmmaker.
Every May, the Star Film Festival staff will select from the new films that were broadcast from May to December of the previous year, and from January to April of the new year. Of course, people from the film companies are also required to apply in advance.
In addition to the film's main creators, well-known international directors and stars can also attend, and it has attracted much attention from the entertainment industry.
Live streaming has become popular in the entertainment industry in recent years. The official Star Film Festival has already issued a notice in advance that the ceremony will be broadcast live on time at 8 o'clock in the evening of May 8.
