Chapter 107: The Mighty Ci Daddy (Two in One)
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a burst of laughter.
Lin Zhixing looked up and saw Dong Chen and Ji Yu sitting in the front row giggling, as if they had heard what he had just said.
The moment Dong Chen turned his head, a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes, as if to say, "Watch out, I will only teach you once."
"baby!"
Dong Chen picked up a grain of popcorn from the popcorn bucket and put it into his girlfriend's mouth, "This sweet popcorn is for you."
"Well, you're very nice."
Ji Yu smiled and nodded, but she was not satisfied yet. She reached out and picked up another popcorn from the popcorn bucket. Just as she put it to her lips...
"I'll just eat this one which isn't sweet."
Click!
Their lips pressed together, and Dong Chen sucked the popcorn on her lips into his mouth.
You really deserve to die!
Lin Zhixing was caught off guard by the mouthful of dog food, and his fists in his trouser pockets became stiff.
This is not the end. Dong Chen chewed with a look of enjoyment and deliberately shook his shoulders. His posture seemed to say, "Have you learned it, brother?" "How disgusting, so cheap!"
Lin Zhixing said this with a very sour feeling in his heart.
He slowly turned his head and glanced at Song Ge beside him. She was staring blankly at the scrolling advertisements on the movie screen, as if she didn't see the scene at all.
It’s good that I didn’t see it, the picture is too hot for the eyes.
After saying those cheesy love words, Lin Zhixing suddenly felt thirsty. He unscrewed the bottle of mineral water beside him and gulped down two big gulps.
After screwing on the water bottle, the screen flashed in front of my eyes, and the movie "Rebirth into Middle Age" officially began.
"Look at what a wretch you are. I was so blind to marry a man like you. You still have the nerve to eat barbecue and drink wine. If I were you, I would just dig a hole and die!"
“I only drank it once this month.”
"If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to drink!"
The beginning of the movie is a standard divorce entertainment routine. The male protagonist played by Donnie Yen is a bit like Yu Huanshui. He was scolded by his wife, but even though he was unhappy, he did not release his emotions. He was very cowardly.
In order to highlight the joy of rebirth by first suppressing others, the audience felt quite depressed in the first fifteen minutes of the movie, and there were many married middle-aged men in the theater.
The film has a lot of good empathy points in the plot, and they were all deeply involved in the story. Many couples watched it together, and the way the husband looked at his wife changed, with a knife in his eyes.
As the plot unfolds bit by bit.
After his rebirth, the hero did not buy lottery tickets to earn his first pot of gold like in third-rate rebirth stories. Instead, he used his information advantage to buy stock subscription certificates and started trading in fitting chains to profit from the era's bonuses while waiting for the lottery draw.
Lin Zhixing gave a thumbs up to the director's handling of this aspect.
My former roommate was obsessed with buying lottery tickets, but I later successfully shattered his dream of getting rich with an example.
Lin: "Would you like to play rock-paper-scissors? If you lose, I'll give you two dollars. If you win, I'll give you five million dollars!"
Roommate: "Is there such a good thing? Come on! Watch me win my pants!"
Lin: “You go out first!”
Roommate: "...Brother, please leave me a pair of pants."
The lottery is something that even a time traveler cannot win if they go back. The only chance to get rich with the lottery only exists in 2014, when Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in the World Cup.
After enough preparation, the hero becomes confident and starts to stand up, which is a cool plot.
The middle-aged men in the cinema enjoyed the movie very much and even laughed out loud at some interesting parts.
Lin Zhixing, who was used to the routine of rebirth novels, was not very interested in this plot.
Turning her head to glance at Song Ge beside her, she was stunned. She put popcorn grains into her mouth one by one and watched with relish.
Lin Zhixing could understand. She usually watched those romantic TV dramas where the fight against a villain could take 20 episodes. She had never seen such a cool story, so it was normal for her to be shocked.
He stared at this fool quietly for a while, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up. He quietly moved the popcorn in the middle to the other side, and then put his hand with the palm facing up on the sofa.
Song Ge finished the popcorn in his mouth, reached out his hand and grabbed nothing, then reached down again and felt a warm touch at his fingertips.
It was too late to retract my hand, as it was gently held in his palm.
Lin Zhixing gently pinched Song Ge's soft and smooth little hand, and the corners of his mouth slowly twitched. After stopping for a few seconds, the little hand did not move at all, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
Hehehe! After a moment, he boldly separated her slender fingers one by one, and then inserted his fingers into the gaps between her fingers one by one.
Big hands and small hands, fingers interlocked.
A blush bloomed on Song Ge's cheeks, and two shallow dimples appeared.
After a while...
While Lin Zhixing clenched his little hands, he moved his butt to the middle of the sofa and was about to shake his shoulders to give a hint.
Suddenly my shoulders sank...
The faint fragrance of hair is like the warm sun in winter, with a hint of freshness, making people feel comfortable and peaceful.
This is the right way to watch a movie! They leaned on each other, with sweet smiles on their faces.
…
The movie goes on.
From the moment the stock subscription certificate was successfully redeemed and the male protagonist truly became a rich man, the previous scenes of humiliation and being looked down upon began to replay.
The moment I walked out of the stock hall, raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, and soon the rain got heavier and heavier.
The male protagonist was overwhelmed with emotions at the moment, and let the cold rain hit his face. He couldn't help but let his tears fall from his eyes, and the warm tears mixed with the cold rain.
The colors in front of his eyes were covered by the rain, and the only things that were not covered were the painful memories.
This crying scene was specially added by Dong Dehua after discussing with the director.
All because of the lyrics "Even if it rains, it is a kind of beauty, so why not seize this opportunity to cry your heart out?", which I feel is very appropriate for the occasion.
On that day, when filming this scene, the cold icy rain was hitting my face randomly.
Dong Dehua suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to compose a song, but he couldn't come up with one no matter how hard he tried. He felt like he was living in someone's shadow.
…
While this scene of crying in the rain was being broadcast, the magnetic and charming voice of superstar Tung Dehua was sung as an interlude.
"It's not a sin for men to cry."
"Taste the long-lost tears"
“Even when it rains there is beauty”
"Why not take this opportunity to cry?"
The integration of the movie plot and this song created a very good immersive effect. Many viewers, especially middle-aged male viewers, couldn't hold back.
Just like the lyrics said, they all tasted "the taste of long-lost tears".
A front row corner of the cinema.
Xiao Zhao's wife noticed that her husband was not acting right, so she turned around and asked, "Honey, are you crying? Were you moved by the movie?"
Xiao Zhao shrugged his shoulders and snorted disdainfully: "What a joke! Why would I cry? This is just a loser's fantasy before dying!"
"Take off your sunglasses!"
Xiao Zhao took off her husband's sunglasses.
“Woo woo…”
Xiao Zhao threw himself into his wife's arms and burst into tears.
Xiao Zhao's wife touched her husband's head and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll increase your pocket money by 5 yuan!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhao cried even harder.
…
Another corner of the cinema.
The grandson's wife saw her husband secretly wiping tears and hit him hard with her elbow, "It's not right for a grown man to cry while watching a movie, right?"
You have long hair but little knowledge. You know nothing! Did you cry because of a movie?
It's because I have accumulated too much emotion, and it burst out because of this movie, okay? The bitch doesn't know how to be considerate, and she looks disgusted, I'll hit you head off! Thousands of words flashed through Xiao Sun's mind. Looking at the fierce look of the tigress, his lips trembled, and finally he condensed it into one sentence, "It's not a sin for a man to cry!"
…
At the end of the movie, the hero becomes a business tycoon, his wife is obedient to him, his children are obedient and filial, and it is a happy ending with both his career and family.
Lin Zhixing felt it was quite strange after watching the film. According to the usual routine of this type of movie, the male protagonist should have traveled back in time. Is this director so unconventional?
Later, I realized that the male protagonist couldn't travel back in time because he had fallen from the building and was flattened.
Lin Zhixing, who had never laughed in a movie, was amused by this hidden Easter egg and laughed so hard that he bent over. His laughter attracted the audience around him.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu turned around and looked at Lin Zhixing, who was holding his stomach and giggling, and were very confused.
A question mark popped up in Dong Chen's mind. His eyes rolled around and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. "Good boy, how much advantage did you take just now?"
…
The screen flashed and the movie officially ended.
The song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" was playing along with the subtitles. Almost no audience in the entire theater left their seats. They were all listening to the song quietly and recording a video to post on WeChat Moments.
Premiere! King! New song!
The three tags are combined together. If you don’t post it on your Moments to show off, it would be a waste to watch this movie!
There were also some audience members who liked this song very much and were particularly curious and wanted to see what the song was called.
Dong Chen had already taken out his cell phone, ready to take pictures and record the scene.
As artists and assistants under Lin Zhixing, he and Ji Yu are indeed impeccable in terms of vision.
After waiting for about two minutes, the information the audience was looking for appeared.
[Interlude/ending song: "It's not a sin for a man to cry"]
【Singer: Dong Dehua】
[Lyrics/Composition/Arrangement: Lin Zhixing]
"It's not a sin for a man to cry? This name seems to be copied from a song lyric!"
After reading the song title, audience member Xiao Wang looked down and asked curiously, "Who is Lin Zhixing? How come I have never heard of this lyricist? I thought it was written by the king's personal lyricist!"
Audience member Xiao Li was surprised and said, "You haven't heard of him? Let me give you a hint. Oh yeah! Oh yeah!"
After hearing this, audience member Xiao Wang's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh and said, "Is that the Oh Ye brother from the Feng Qi Wu Tong group?"
"Yes, that's him! I never thought he could work with the king!"
"Oh yeah, the lyrics are so good, I can't believe it was written by a guy in his 20s."
"It's more than good. I even wonder if he installed a camera to observe me composing this song?"
Across an aisle.
“You’re such a great compliment!”
Lin Zhixing heard it clearly and felt relieved at the moment.
Reading the comments online is not as exciting as this. It was a great decision to go to the movie premiere with Dong Chen! …
…
After the premiere.
The movie "Rebirth into Middle Age" and the song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" both made it to the Weibo hot search list.
[The first premiere is over, the movie with a Douban score of 9 is here! ]
This trending search received rave reviews, and viewers who watched the premiere recommended the movie in the comment section.
"This is the best movie I've seen this year, bar none! It has all the laughs, tears, and excitement you need. It's definitely worth the money!"
“I recommend that middle-aged men watch this movie together. It really puts you in the shoes of the film!”
"Best Director, Best Actor, Best Film, take them all!"
Director Xia Fei watched the first premiere with the leading actors and producers. Seeing netizens' affirmation of himself and the movie, he couldn't stop smiling.
At this rate, I’ll have to check Weibo all night long. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
The second hot search also reached the point of explosion.
[I waited five years for the new song from the king of pop. It was worth it after listening to this moment! 】
"How good is this song? It's not an exaggeration to say that the movie is its music video!"
"I can't wait until noon to buy this song. It's a pity that it's a digital album and not a physical one, otherwise I would definitely buy both!"
“Oh yeah, the quality of my creations is still rising!”
"It seems that there is an old soul living in Oh Ye Ge's body! The simple lyrics touch the heart directly, great!"
It has received rave reviews online.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Zhixing tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The king’s song will be available on the music platform at noon. I hope there will be good data. I can make more money from this song and try to buy a car. When I have time, I can take Hanhan out for a walk and have fun.
In another room.
Song Ge also had trouble falling asleep. She lay on her side in the quilt, staring at her right hand which was being held, and recalled what had happened in the cinema, and chuckled.
"Zhixing is so corny!"
…
…
The next morning, at nine o'clock sharp.
Yida Records Lyrics Department.
"Did any of you watch the movie "Rebirth into Middle Age" last night?"
"I saw it."
"I saw it, too."
Lin Zhixing's song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" became a hot topic during the lyrics department's coffee time.
"I never thought that a new songwriter like him could get in touch with the king of pop and write songs for him!"
"How do you define a newcomer? I feel like he's no longer a newcomer. He's gone from being a fledgling to at least a little famous!"
"Hey, I was not convinced at first. Of all his songs, I only like the lyrics of 'May We Live Together Forever', but I feel that song might be a flash of inspiration. I listened to this song last night and it is worthy of being chosen by the king of pop. I feel that he really has some talent!"
…
The elevator stopped on the 9th floor.
Lin Zhixing walked out of the elevator and planned to find Zhang Sihui to talk to her about recording the album. Her office was just behind the lyrics department.
"Eh? Speak of the devil!"
The people in the lyrics department saw Lin Zhixing approaching.
"Good morning, Brother Lin!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved, "Good morning, everyone! I have something to do with Sister Hui."
"Sister Hui's office is over there!"
There was a lyricist who came forward enthusiastically to show the way.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, Brother Lin. If you have any problem, just let me know. We should take care of each other!"
Lin Zhixing walked to the door of Zhang Sihui's office and was stunned when he raised his hand.
What did they call me just now? (End of this chapter)
