Chapter 81 The Dowry for Meng Qingyan...
Yuan Man and Shen Nian are completely different.
Although they both come from noble families, they are repressed, restrained and extremely self-disciplined. On the surface, Building No. 8 is a love story of two young people, but in fact it is a process of them untying the shackles on each other, recognizing and accepting themselves, and going from tense and repressed to relaxing and enjoying life.
It is a story about love and freedom.
But Yuan Man is different.
When he first appeared, he was a spoiled young master, a playboy known to everyone in the local area.
I have never suffered any hardship, never endured any suffering, and rarely even felt wronged.
But fate took a turn and pushed him into the abyss.
Such a delicate person died in the huge waves of fate, but finally survived by relying on that little hatred, and used his ability to eat, drink and have fun in those days to sneak into the puppet government and became an unknown revolutionary.
Yuan Man is almost always glamorous, versatile, and the one who has the most fun.
He faced the insults with a smile, but deep down he carried a heavy hatred for the country and his family.
One is the struggle and breakthrough against oneself and human nature.
One is the national cause of sacrificing one's life and blood for the sake of one's country.
It is precisely because of the profound understanding and interpretation of the script, and the pursuit of perfection and control of details, that the short forty-second pilot is enough to quickly get people into the play, and they are even completely unable to compare with Bai You and Shen Nian.
That’s Yuan Man.
He walked out of the screen vividly, looked at the audience with his bloodshot eyes, and greeted them silently.
[Fuck, I burst into tears. Forty seconds in exchange for a pair of walnut eyes. @电影火火官方号 immediately, right now, I want to watch the whole movie. What's the use of these eyes if I can't see the fireworks? I want to cry, cry my heart out. 】
【I was wiping my tears when I was amused by the person above. Whoever said before that Bai You's performance in Building No. 8 was so good was because of the support of the rival actor, now he is here to slap him in the face. He can definitely hold his own and even perform better than Building No. 8. 】
[When I watched Building No. 8, I felt that his acting skills had reached the top, but I didn’t expect that he could still improve. Who wouldn’t say that Bai You is awesome? 】
[He probably only shoots one drama a year. Building No. 8 was wrapped in August last year, and Fireworks was wrapped in June this year. The cast for his next drama, Gambler, isn't even complete yet. I heard that they used to build the simplest sets because of lack of funds. Now that Meng's and QL have invested together, everything has to be overturned and started over again. If they want to start filming, it will probably be the end of the year, and it will take until May or June next year to finish filming. It's a bit too little. 】
[As long as I can produce good works, it doesn’t matter if there are fewer of them. I am willing to wait. 】
[I heard that he recently took a class with a retired psychological portrait artist from the police department. He was really serious about it. He is not the kind of person who joins a group without reading the script and just wants to make quick money. 】
[No wonder he improved so fast. Damn, he crawled out from the pile of dead bodies, his face and eyes were covered in blood. When the camera zoomed in on the blood-stained eye, that look... It was so fucking shocking that I got goosebumps. 】
[I really want to know Yuan Man’s ending. I hope he can survive and see the prosperous empire that their generation fought for with blood. 】
[Ahhhhh, so magical. When I opened it, I was still thinking about judging how Bai You performed. Less than a minute later, I had forgotten what Bai You looked like. The only thing left in my mind was Yuan Man. @电影火火官方号, please post a few more promotional videos. Thanks. 】
[Liu Ben is worthy of being Liu Ben, he is really amazing, his camera movements are amazing, and his overall control ability is well-known. Just wait and buy ten or eight tickets to watch it. You will never get tired of it even if you watch it several times. 】
[Is registration for this year's Golden Gull starting? We are already looking forward to it, another young movie emperor will emerge after Meng Qingyan. 】
[Youyou, ahhhhhhhhhh…]
【……】
The Meng family's old house is quiet and secluded. It takes about five minutes to drive into the main courtyard.
Meng Qingyan got out of the car, walked around and opened Bai You's door.
Cicadas were chirping and the sky was filled with sunset glow. Xiaoliang jumped off his knees and walked towards the main gate of the house as if he knew the way.
"Youyou is here?" Shen Yueting came out to greet her, her eyes swollen like walnuts, "I asked Aunt Lu to stew some snow clam and bird's nest for you, you need to nourish yourself well."
He bent down again and held Xiaoliang in his arms: "Oh, my eldest granddaughter."
Shen Yueting is particularly good at taking care of people. Recently, Bai You has gained some weight, and her energy and blood have become more sufficient. Even her pale lips have become a little more rosy.
Just a few days ago I said I had to pay attention to my body shape in preparation for joining the group, and today Shen Yueting made soup again.
However, his focus at the moment was not here, but on Shen Yueting's eyes, which could not hide the marks even though she had applied powder.
"What's wrong with you?" Meng Qingyan said seriously, "Did my dad bully you?"
"How dare I?" Meng Shizhao must have just arrived home and was just coming out after washing his hands.
"Your mother watched the trailer for 'Fireworks'." Meng Shizhao said concisely.
Shen Yueting glared at him, a little embarrassed: “The movie is touching, especially with Youyou’s face, I can’t bear the pain.”
"Auntie," although Meng Qingyan had shamelessly changed his way of addressing Bai Xiuxi as "Mom," Bai You still maintained the same name he had used for the Meng couple. He moved closer to let Shen Yueting see the smile in his eyes, "Look at me."
"I know." Shen Yueting ruffled his hair lovingly and praised, "How come you are such a good actor?"
"Why haven't I seen you praise me?" Meng Qingyan interjected.
He pretended to be jealous, but someone was really jealous.
Hearing this, Meng Shizhao snorted coldly: "Haven't you been praised by your mother since you were a child?"
Everyone laughed, and Meng Shizhao took the opportunity to take Xiaoliang into his arms.
Bai You's house is connected to a very small rooftop, where Bai Xiuxi grows some vegetables and a grape plant.
The grapes were moved from the Jin family's yard. Unexpectedly, they produced several bunches of fruit in the first year. Bai Xiuxi specially asked Bai You to bring them to the Meng couple for them to taste.
In addition, there are some vegetables grown by the farmer in the plastic bag.
Shen Yueting liked it very much, and asked Aunt Lu to wash the grapes. They sat down and ate the fruit and chatted.
In the past, as long as he had time, Meng Qingyan would come back once or twice a week to have dinner with his parents.
Now that Baiyou is here, the home is more lively.
After the meal, the two took a car home, and Bai You took out the "Gambling" notebook from his bag.
"You don't have to work so hard." Meng Qingyan smiled and reached out, took the notebook from his hand, and then shook his hand.
"If you don't study hard now, you will make trouble again when you get home." Bai You smiled and lowered his voice.
"Tomorrow is a workday, and you have a whole day to study hard." Meng Qingyan smiled, lowered the front and rear partitions of the car, and pulled Bai You into his arms.
At the dinner table, he drank two glasses with Meng Shizhao, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body, blending with the smell of cedar.
Smells good.
"Have you not considered taking any acting jobs recently?" Bai You asked, raising his hand and gently pressing on his Adam's apple.
With his Adam's apple being controlled by someone, Meng Qingyan's laughter sounded a little muffled.
"No," he said, looking down at Bai You's snow-white cheek, "Let's talk about it after we make our relationship public."
"What does this have to do with it?" Bai You laughed and looked up at him.
Baiyou's eyes are beautiful, like a cat's, and as clear as the purest gems.
Meng Qingyan lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss him between the eyebrows.
"I don't know where the next movie is going to be filmed. You definitely won't come to visit me before it's released," Meng Qingyan pinched his fingers and played with them, "I can't bear to be separated from you."
His voice is a little deep and slightly hoarse, which makes him sound particularly sexy and affectionate.
Bai You moved his hand away and placed his lip prints there instead.
The waist was held tightly, and the slender arm only exerted a slight force, and Bai You was lifted onto his legs.
The two people changed their positions, with Bai You on top and Meng Qingyan on the bottom.
"Then let's try to be faster." Bai You said.
"It's you," Meng Qingyan kissed his lips, corrected him, and then coaxed him, "Let's make it public now. The feedback from the fireworks is very good. Now is a good time."
Bai You smiled and tilted his head: "Then let me think about it."
The parents of both sides have already recognized each other, so there is no need to be so serious about other people.
But Bai You has had a strange competitive spirit since he was a child, and he really wants to get a trophy as a betrothal gift to Meng Qingyan.
Wait a little longer, be more patient.
It is already mid-August, and the movie is not far from being released. When the movie is about to be taken off the shelves, Jin Ou should also arrive.
Bai You quietly opened his eyes and looked at Meng Qingyan's drooping eyelashes when kissing him, silently estimating his chances of winning this time.
The hand on his waist suddenly increased its strength. Meng Qingyan was dissatisfied: "Teacher Bai, pay attention."
The temperature was still very high that day, Bai You remembered it very clearly.
Because of each other's breathing, the intertwined kisses, and the touch of skin, there was no place that was not hot.
But just over a month later, the weather turned cooler.
The maple leaves are like the blood of martyrs, dyeing the mountains and fields. When the martyrs' cemetery is filled with flowers for memorial, the annual National Day arrives and the "fireworks" are on.
The National Day period, like the Spring Festival period, is one of the most important periods for filmmakers, and the competition is particularly fierce.
But unlike the Spring Festival period, there will be more red themes in the National Day period.
The same is true for this year's National Day period, which is full of strong competitors and many big productions.
On the first day of its release, Yuan Man earned the tears of people all over the country.
Fireworks breaks away from the conventional plot design, and Yuan Man is not as flawless and heroic as the characters in most movies.
He is just like any young man with bad habits around us. They are not perfect and even have obvious flaws, but once the country encounters difficulties, they will stand up without hesitation and hold up the sky above their heads.
Even so, perhaps no one can remember their names.
The National Day schedule was strong, and all companies were working hard to promote their films. The screening schedules on the first day in theaters were also balanced, with Fireworks having only two percentage points more screenings than other films.
But when the box office statistics came out that night, it was far more than 100 million ahead of the second place.
The Internet is full of comments, and the film has received extremely high praise from both inside and outside the circle, with endless praise.
Many parents secretly took pictures of their children shedding tears when they saw the people of their motherland being humiliated and slaughtered, being poorly clothed and hungry, dying of hunger and cold on the streets, and the heroes and martyrs sacrificing their lives heroically.
Patriotism is like a drizzle, conveying into the hearts of children through each picture, and they quietly grow into another Yuan Man.
On Weibo's hot searches, "fireworks" occupies half of the space, and topics emerge in endlessly.
In the early hours of the morning, the last movie of the day ended, and Bai You went into the roadshow with Liu Ben.
In an instant, the audience with red eyes cheered.
"Baiyou, Baiyou, Baiyou..."
There were also young and innocent children who recognized the face on the screen and cried out in tears:
"Brother Yuan Man."
"Brother Yuan Man is not dead."
“…”
The audience's shouts were like a wave coming over him. Standing under the huge white screen, Bai You truly felt the power of the movie for the first time.
At this moment, he felt extremely small, yet the emotion he felt was so huge.
Without saying a word, he held the microphone and bowed deeply to all the audience.
