TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 175 - Will Be Beaten to Death
The cinema is filled with crying. Mu Jingzhe also cried until his eyes were swollen. There's no choice. He wanted to hold back, but with the accompaniment of music, the film seemed to have a soul that made one unable to escape from it.
Little Bei's acting had been good from the start. Even the supporting characters, like Tian Xiaoxiao, were stimulated by Little Bei, giving the best of their acting abilities. The overall effect is very good. And then, there was the musical support of Xiao Wu, which was like adding wings to a tiger.
Mu Jingzhe, who did not know about the effects of the Little Bei film when reading the novel before he moved, found it impossible to break away from him.
In fact, the effect of the movie is actually better than the book. After all, Little Bei was still very young. As a six-year-old, she made people's hearts even more sick when she played a nine-year-old. His acting skills also made the professionals think highly of him, even more convincing to them.
Coupled with Xiao Wu's music and Little Bei's acting skills, everyone could empathize with him. This is also the reason why almost everyone in the cinema is crying.
At the end of the film, everyone laughed with tears in their eyes, as it made them feel warm and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
At that time, most of the audience had yet to watch many films, so their senses were not strong. However, Mu Jingzhe, who had watched many films and had heard a lot of film analysis, clearly knew how important Xiao Wu's musical role was.
Mu Jingzhe had also heard many classic and popular songs. Many of the songs were truly amazing and touching, but none of those songs were so heartbreaking. This is especially heartwarming thanks to the help of the movie.
In this modern age, many movie theme songs are widely known. In addition to the song itself being good, it was also because of the plot. Songs make the plot more popular, and plots make the song more lively. It is a process that complements each other.
Xiao Wu's music had achieved such an effect. He was young, so his overall composition was not very mature. However, his talent makes his music different. It was so unique that it could enter people's hearts, resonate with them, and touch them.
Complementing the plot of the film well, it really made people feel happy and laugh out loud. It gives people comfort and also causes heartache and tears in them. The audience is completely immersed in the film.
What seems like a cliche plot in modern times becomes different when it is played.
When they came out of the theater after watching a movie, they heard other movie goers discussing it, saying that they should invite their friends and family to watch the movie as well. They had no idea that the little girl who had been shaking their hearts was watching a movie with them.
Mu Jingzhe had no doubt that if this was the modern era, the popularity of the film would explode.
Since this was the 80s, box office sales and popularity may not be comparable to the modern era. However, he believed that this film would become a classic many years later, even in the modern era.
There is no doubt that this film was a success.
As Mu Jingzhe sighed with emotion, he heard an apology. When he regained his senses, he saw a young woman accidentally stepping on Shao Qiyang.
Shao Qiyang shook his head and said that it was okay, but the girl was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he followed them for a while and spoke to Shao Qiyang with a flushed face. He said that he worked in a department store and had seen Shao Qiyang in the county town before. Just now, he had been sitting behind them in the cinema.
He had probably heard the children call Shao Qiyang 'Uncle', so he even praised Shao Qiyang's niece and nephew for being so cute.
Shao Qiyang replied casually, his gaze on Mu Jingzhe. However, when Mu Jingzhe saw the young woman talking to him, he sped up his steps to give them space to talk.
He checked the young lady for a moment. Her cute apple-shaped face made her very compatible with Shao Qiyang.
In the blink of an eye, Shao Qiyang realized that Mu Jingzhe and the children had come a long way. Because he was walking too fast, Mu Jingzhe almost hit someone. When he apologized, he realized that it was someone familiar.
It was Shao Qiyun, whom he had not seen for a long time. Beside him was the gloomy-looking Zhao Lan. When Zhao Lan saw them, her expression changed. "Why are you here?"
Zhao Lan snapped, “Not bad? Why do you care if we are watching a movie or not?”
The expression of anticipation on his face was completely gone. Before the film premiered, Zhao Lan was somewhat looking forward to the film as she was also acting in it and came to look for Shao Qiyun on the first day of the New Year to ask her to take her to the movies.
She thought being able to act in the film was good, but it did not occur to her whether the role was good or evil. In the end, the evil granny character that she played—which was actually very similar to her acting—had been scolded by everyone. The unprepared Zhao Lan had suffered a blow. He wanted to proudly tell everyone that he had acted in the film as well, but when he heard everyone scolding his character, he did not dare to say it anymore.
Li Zhaodi's scene resembled her, and some people also scolded her. However, Li Zhaodi had a good mentality, and everyone just said that she was evil and funny, whereas Zhao Lan received a scolding and nothing else.
Zhao Lan, who had happily come without telling the villagers, was now filled with hatred. He had not expected to meet Mu Jingzhe and the others.
He turned around and was just about to leave when he stopped. He couldn't help but stutter, “Can you tell the director to delete my scene? I don't want to be scolded anymore. It's definitely not who I am. Why is everyone scolding me?”
Mu Jingzhe thought to himself, "Why deny this when you are clearly acting like yourself?"
Instead, he said, “It is impossible to remove it. It's not that simple. You receive money right then and there. ”
"Can't I give him the money back?"
“As I said, it's not easy. It is not that the filming process is still ongoing and the scene can be deleted. Now that the film had screened in national theaters, how could any scene be removed? Not even thinking about it.”
Mu Jingzhe looked at Zhao Lan's constipated expression and asked clearly, “Why don't you want to act anymore? Isn't it nice that everyone can see you? Maybe the whole country will recognize you.”
“What good is it to be known like this? I might be beaten up someday, ” Zhao Lan said. Then, he realized that this was very possible.
He was just glad he showed up for a while and everyone couldn't remember him. If they remember, it will be over. He would be beaten even while walking.
Zhao Lan exaggerated. Mu Jingzhe laughed. "No, it's not so bad."
Although he said that it wasn't too bad, if he was truly recognized, there was actually a chance that he would be beaten. If a performance is really good, the audience will feel a strong sense of depth. Even actresses who acted as third parties in the modern world would be scolded, let alone actresses now.
In this era, no one thought of distinguishing actors from the characters they played. Nor did it occur to them that it was just a show. They just think that the actor is as evil as the character they are playing. If they recognized the actor, he might be scolded or even beaten.
While Mu Jingzhe was talking to Zhao Lan, Shao Qiyun, who was beside him, had a frown on her face, especially when she saw the children and her gaze was fixed on Xiao Wu. As soon as he saw Xiao Wu was staring at him, his expression darkened. "Let's go ma'am."
Ever since he was taken away from the village by the police, Shao Qiyun had never returned. He hasn't even returned for the New Year. When he saw Mu Jingzhe, his eyes were filled with hatred.
Because of what had happened before, he lost his job. Then, he suffered for quite some time and relied on Zhao Lan's subsidies to get through it. It wasn't easy for her to get a job as a waitress at a snack shop in the county town. He even had to wash dishes every day. Shao Qiyun hated him so much.
He doesn't even wash dishes at home. In the future, he would marry a rich man, yet now, he was washing dishes.
However, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to live before finding a rich person. Now, she even thinks that she should lower her standards for 'rich people' and might have to find someone to marry if she really can't stand it anymore.
