The camera gradually zooms out. A fair-skinned profile appears in the frame.
This is a close-up of the face. The person on screen has lowered eyebrows and eyes, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and skin with the firmness and suppleness characteristic of teenagers. A few faint freckles on the face actually add an indescribable youthful charm.
"Wow!"
A small gasp of surprise rippled through the theater.
Even the quick-witted Lao Liu was stunned for a moment. This is Ye Chu playing Xiao Ye?
Well, the director of this film actually made Ye Chu look quite beautiful... that youthful and fresh energy is completely different from the cold and hard character she played in "Half a Sky" and the disheveled character she played in "The Mute Woman." It almost makes you want to reach in and pinch her cheeks.
"Looks, looks, looks," Lao Liu quickly wrote. "That's all Ye Chu contributed to this film. Nothing else."
"The darkest planet in the universe is TrES-2b; it can devour all light and is the darkest planet in the galaxy..."
Xiao Ye muttered to herself as the camera zoomed out, revealing her full appearance. She sported a very unfashionable mushroom haircut, wore basic black-rimmed glasses, and dressed in a basic shirt and jeans. She carried a large, thick cloth backpack almost as big as her back and body, had her phone tucked under her neck, and held a book in her hands, reading its contents.
The book's cover is printed with "Three Thousand Questions on Astronomical Knowledge".
"The planet HD189733b is 63 light-years from Earth. It also rains on this planet. However, the rain is made of glass, and it rains at 1300 degrees Celsius..."
"You brat!"
Another shout came from the other end of the phone. Xiao Ye jumped and frantically tried to grab the phone, but the book in her hand fell to the ground.
The book lay flat on the floor, perfectly revealing a bookmark tucked inside. As the camera zoomed in, the words "Ticket for the 29th Astronomy Knowledge Competition" gradually became clear.
It turned out to be a ticket.
Xiao Ye hurriedly bent down to pick up the book, and for some reason, watching her actions, the fast-talking Lao Liu inexplicably laughed.
Many people in the theater laughed out loud.
Ye Chu seemed to have a certain talent for making even the most ordinary actions laugh. The moment Lao Liu realized this, he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth from his grin and typed on his phone: "This movie made me laugh so hard."
Like a scene from any movie, a gust of wind blows, scattering the ticket tucked inside the book. Xiao Ye panics, chasing after the windswept ticket in classic comedic fashion, all the while answering a phone call.
The voice on the other end of the phone was still rambling on: "The college entrance exam is in the second half of the year, and you're still participating in an astronomy knowledge competition... You're not doing your job properly..."
"Grandma!" Xiao Ye jumped high, trying to reach the ticket floating in the air. "I have something to do, I have to hang up now!"
"You've become a bookworm from studying so much, it's all your parents' fault, they've been spoiling you since you were little..."
"Beep beep beep".
Xiao Ye hung up the phone, slung her big backpack over her shoulder, and ran desperately forward, chasing after the ticket.
The film is set during the Spring Festival, with streets decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. As Xiao Ye runs, she constantly leaps through the bustling streets and various decorations, with cars occasionally whizzing by. The whole scene is brightly colored, classically composed, and full of dynamism.
On the big screen in the cinema, such a scene was both stunning and visually appealing. The quick-witted Lao Liu also noticed that several beautiful, huge poster advertisements flashed across the screen while Xiao Ye was running…
This director's method of inserting advertisements is very clever. Inserting advertisements is common, but it is quite difficult to insert them in a way that is not abrupt and blends into the visuals.
Fast-talking Lao Liu wrote on his phone: "Intense product placement. The director is suited to making commercials."
After a classic running scene, Xiao Ye passed by a vegetable market. A woman in a festive red sweater was carrying a vegetable basket and haggling with the vendor. Xiao Ye darted past her like a gust of wind, even making her hair flutter.
“Mommy,” the little girl, who was being led by the woman in the red sweater, said in surprise, “a big sister just ran past.”
"Mommy saw it." The woman in the red sweater pulled the little girl closer to her, reached for a carrot from the stall, and said, "Give me one of these too!"
"Sister Hong," the stall owner said with a wry smile, "you really are a real sucker!"
Sister Hong tossed the carrot into her basket and spat in the direction Xiao Ye had run off to: "In such a hurry to be reborn!"
After scolding her, his expression changed again, and he smiled and said to the little girl, "Lingling, come on, let's go home with Mommy."
"We can't move, there's a traffic jam ahead," an auntie passing by interjected. "It's New Year's..."
The Spring Festival is a period of frequent traffic jams, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Sister Hong's eyes lit up. She grabbed the little girl's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, Lingling, come with Mommy. Come on, let's go through that pedestrian street ahead and go home."
