"Grandma, I'm back."
"I'm back, wash your hands and have dinner."
Grandma Zhao has gray hair, but she is dressed neatly. She holds a plate of food in one hand and invites her granddaughter, who has just finished school, to eat.
"Ah, braised pork!"
Zhao Xue was a little surprised. She quickly washed her hands and sat at the small dining table. The two of them finished their meal while chatting and laughing.
After the meal, Zhao Xue obediently helped her grandmother to clear the table and wash the dishes. Grandma Zhao told her to do her homework well, and then she went to visit the neighbor next door on crutches to chat.
Zhao Xue was the only one left at home. She took her homework to the sofa, then quietly turned on the TV and turned down the volume.
I picked up the remote control and randomly turned on a few channels. At this time, they were basically broadcasting local news, and then the "News Network" came next.
Zhao Xue was not interested in current affairs and social news, and finally found "Entertainment Star World" on Shanghai TV. However, she still preferred entertainment gossip.
"Recently, The Warlords went to Thailand for promotion, and the Thai princess met with the four main creators..."
"Yuanquan's music album won an award, but he avoided talking about his love life..."
"The filming of the new Dream of Red Mansions is delayed again and is scheduled to start in May next year..."
“…”
Zhao Xue read the series of celebrity gossip with great gusto. She even wrote down a few of them and planned to share them with her classmates tomorrow. Then she saw a piece of news that interested her very much.
“The day before yesterday, our reporter interviewed Wei Yang, the screenwriter and lead actor of The Best of Us.
It is reported that Wei Yang is a sophomore student in the acting department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. During his freshman year, he wrote the script based on his high school experiences and his own imagination, restoring the hazy and pure study life of high school students..."
Along with the introduction, several clips from "The Best of Us" were played on the screen.
The blue and white school uniforms, the messy and crowded classrooms, the crowded playground, all these familiar scenes instantly caught the attention of Zhao Xue, who was in the first year of high school.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yang appeared on the TV screen, talking freely in front of the camera and expressing his creative ideas.
“High school is the period when everyone grows from immaturity to maturity. I want to use this drama to show and depict the best youth and the best of us at that time…”
Zhao Xue didn't care what Wei Yang was saying at all. She just stared at that fair and handsome face and muttered to herself.
“So handsome.”
The main platform of "The Best of Us" is still on the Shanghai Film and Television Channel, and being on "Entertainment Star World" is just a simple warm-up promotion.
The total duration is less than two minutes, and Wei Yang's personal shot is only about 30 seconds.
Zhao Xue looked at the brief news with some regret, but still remembered the name of "The Best of Us" as well as the broadcast time and channel given at the end.
"It will premiere at 8pm tonight. Hurry up and do your homework. I'll watch the show later."
Zhao Xue was very active and finished her important homework before 8 o'clock. There was still some left, but it did not delay her watching the drama.
She was once again thankful that her school did not have evening self-study classes for the first year of high school, otherwise she would have to wait until the weekend to relax.
…
At 7:58, Zhao Xue stared at the watch and turned the channel to the Magic City Video Channel on time.
"We were the best at that time. We had bright and determined eyes. You said these experiences were ordinary and profound ..."
A ethereal and soothing song sounded, and Zhao Xue sighed: "This song is beautiful."
Zhao Xue casually rummaged through her schoolbag and took out her lyrics book, then found a piece of draft paper.
Memorize the lyrics at the end first, then wait for the second episode to memorize the lyrics at the beginning, and then copy them down in their entirety in a notebook.
In fact, in high school, many students feel that copying lyrics is childish and are no longer as enthusiastic about it as they were in junior high school.
However, Zhao Xue never gave up this hobby. She also liked to write some analysis and thoughts about the lyrics in it, and has almost filled up two notebooks so far.
The heroine Geng Geng, played by Yang Rong, appears first. She has short hair, a baby face, and a small stature. Her main image is youthful and cute.
And in her narration, the background of the TV series is also revealed.
Zhenhua Middle School, a key high school in BH City, gathers countless academic elites, and the heroine Geng Geng, who comes from an ordinary junior high school.
Because SARS occurred during the high school entrance examination, the difficulty of the examination was reduced accordingly. I performed exceptionally well and was admitted to Zhenhua School with a narrow margin, becoming the worst student in this key high school.
"Xueba, the master of study? Xuezha, the scum of study? What interesting names."
When Zhao Xue saw the heroine Geng Geng in the play, who called the Zhenhua elites "academic masters" and called herself "academic losers", she immediately understood the feelings of envy for good students and helplessness about her own failure to live up to expectations.
"I'm not a bad student, am I?"
Zhao Xue, who prided herself on having average grades, felt a little guilty, but her curiosity about the plot overwhelmed her guilt and she continued to watch the show carefully.
The main perspective of "The Best of Us" is the heroine Geng Geng, and the first episode also revolves around her.

Geng Geng has an ordinary appearance (as set in the play), and her grades are at the bottom of the school. In addition, her family is not harmonious and her parents are divorced, which makes her feel inferior and sensitive.
But at the same time, she is optimistic, sincere and kind, and does not complain about herself.
Although she is not good at studying, there are teachers and classmates who are willing to help her. Although her parents are separated, they also care about her very much, so that she is always in an environment that may not be so beautiful, but not lacking in warmth.
This kind of female protagonist setting is not only plump and not losing points, but more importantly, it is extremely realistic.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Xue even saw her own shadow in Geng Geng.
My parents are divorced, and my father is away from home all year round because of work. I live with my grandmother. I feel a little inferior sometimes, but I don’t dwell on it. I am happy every day.
Not as good as the best, but better than the worst. I have many troubles of my own, but also many happiness of my own.
This "ordinary girl" state made Zhao Xue quickly develop a strong sense of intimacy and empathy towards Geng Geng.
Of course, Geng Geng is the heroine of the TV series after all, so it’s impossible for her to be completely ordinary.
In the class, she met a handsome and smart boy named Yu Huai, who had a sunny and carefree personality.
The two were originally enemies, but after the military training incident, they established a certain friendship. Yu Huai also took the initiative to help Geng Geng and became his deskmate.
"Yu Huai is so good. He's good at studying, handsome, and knows how to care for Geng Geng."
High school students like Zhao Xue have almost no resistance to this kind of sunny and handsome school idol.
However, just when she was about to fall, Lu Xinghe, played by Wei Yang, appeared.
Frankly speaking, Lu Xinghe's appearance was not likable. He was sloppy, had no seriousness, and even deliberately went against the teacher. He was a typical troublemaker student.
But I can’t help but think he’s so handsome!
Different from Yu Huai's sunny and fresh style, Lu Xinghe's handsomeness is unconcealed and flamboyant, with a rebellious and cynical temperament.
Maybe some people are not interested in this setting, but there are also many people who love this one.
Especially at the end of the second episode, Lu Xinghe and Geng Geng had an intersection, and the characters became more three-dimensional.
The audience learned that Lu Xinghe's rebellious appearance was more a reaction to the misfortune of his original family.
Lu Xinghe is like a hedgehog, with sharp thorns all over its surface, but he is very gentle at heart. He would comfort Geng Geng when her father remarried, take Geng Geng out for a walk when she was depressed due to poor academic performance, and encourage and praise Geng Geng.
This contrast is very touching, and makes the audience feel a little bit sorry for this character, and feel even more deeply about the kindness he shows to Geng Geng.
At least Zhao Xue abandoned Yu Huai without hesitation and became Lu Xinghe's fangirl...
