Chapter 162, Is he no longer human?

On July 21, 2006, the premiere of "Secret" took place.
The debut film of Yao Dong and An Qian is enough reason for many fans to step into the cinema. Coupled with extensive publicity, the large venue of the Beijing International Exhibition Center, which can accommodate 2000 people, was packed to capacity.
The audience on site seemed very excited. Just by looking at the row of celebrities in the front row, it was already worth the ticket price.
Compared to "Stone," the premiere of "Secret" was undoubtedly much grander.
The more celebrity guests attend the premiere, the higher the exposure level.
Wang Yuying directly sent invitation letters to the artists under Hua Yi, Fiber Optics, and Rongxinda, with whom she has collaborated before. These three companies show great respect, as their bosses personally brought their directors and artists in Beijing to attend the event.
Together with "Shi Toubang" brought by Ning Hao, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, Liu Ye, Ni Dahong, Hu Jun, Feng Yuanzheng, as well as Zhang Yimou and Yao Na who have not appeared in public for over two years!
It is a gathering of stars, with a queen attending!
“……”
After a brief introduction by the main creators of "Secret."
Xie Nan faces the audience and says, "To thank everyone for attending the premiere of 'Secret', we have arranged a lucky draw session today. There will be three rounds of draws. The first round will select 10 winners of the third prize, and they will join the creators on stage for interaction. The second round will select 10 winners of the second prize, which is a ticket to Yao Dong's concert. The third round will select 10 winners of the first prize, which is two tickets to Yao Dong's concert."
Whoosh sound!
一听“演唱会门票”，现场观众就欢呼起来了，这完全是意外收获！
谢楠熟稔的控制着节奏，举起手中的入场票，道：“大家先别激动，允许我为大家介绍下抽奖规则。你们手中的入场票，上方有一个幸运号码。”
Xie Nan turned around and pointed to the large screen that was already scrolling with numbers, saying, "Stop!"
The scrolling numbers came to a halt, and a set of 10 digits were frozen on the screen. Xie Nan continued, "If the number on your ticket appears on the big screen, then congratulations, you are one of the lucky ones!"
As the conversation shifted, Xie Nan laughed and said, "But my draw doesn't count. Later, Chairman Xing, Director Li, and Director Han will draw 30 lucky audience members. The third prize will be redeemed on the spot today, while the first and second prize winners..."
After a pause, pointing to the representative of Fengxin Weibo, the sponsor of the premiere ceremony, he said: "After the event, with the admission ticket, register personal information and wait for the official notification of Yao Dong's concert."
At the same time, prompts for lottery prizes and related rules also appear on the big screen.
Whoosh sound!
The audience on-site cheers again, everyone wants to become that lucky one, who the heck could have imagined that watching a premiere would also have a chance to win a ticket to Yao Dong's concert!
Audience: The guests below the stage were all dumbfounded. Is this really a movie premiere?
“……”
After the interactive game with the audience, Yao Dong led Qian Qian to take their seats. As the ceiling lights dimmed, he couldn't help but grip her little hand tightly, feeling a bit nervous inside.
After the opening animation from the production company, the film officially starts:
"Meng Xiaoying, stop checking Weibo and start practicing the piano."
"Dad, why are you opening my package?"
“……”
After several scenes filled with a futuristic atmosphere, the screen transitioned to the "Black Hole Explosion." On the big screen, the following credits appeared: Producer: Han Sanping, Li Xinmin; Executive Producer: Zhong Lifang; Supervising Producer: Hou Keming; Director: Wu Ershan; Screenplay: Yao Dong, Li Wen, Wu Ershan; Starring: Yao Dong, An Xi...
……
On the big screen, Kong Linxi and Meng Xiaoying each occupy half of the screen, while Yao Dong sits on the toilet and Qian Qian stands in front of the toilet. They both simultaneously lower their heads and scream!
"Hahaha!"
The audience bursts into laughter, and some film critics are also misled, temporarily labeling this movie as a comedy.
Both Kong Linxi and Meng Xiaoying woke up at the same time, sat up at the same time, and simultaneously unbuttoned their collars to check their genders. At the same time, they smiled at the audience.
"Hey, did they switch bodies this time?"
A guy was a little confused and couldn't help but ask his girlfriend. The girl, chewing popcorn, disdainfully said, "Of course she changed, Qi Qi's posture when she just woke up was so weird!"
On the screen, Yao Dong (Meng Xiaoying disguised as Kong Linxi) finished seeing the doctor in the hospital and habitually walked into the women's toilet.
进去的时候没事发生，出来时则被一位“阿姨”撞见。
阿姨啐了口：“变态！”紧接着一口唾沫，直中姚东的脸。
"Hahaha!"
全场观众再次爆笑，一些影评人更加笃定是一部喜剧片，一部不如《石头》好笑的喜剧片。
On the screen, Yao Dong, who had just escaped from the women's restroom, washed his face several times and then looked up to the mirror, complaining, "My body has changed, my voice has changed, even my gender has changed, so why do I still have to learn music and play the piano!" After a pause, he held his face and leaned closer to the mirror, "I do look quite ordinary, but my skin and figure are not bad~"
"Grass!" "Hahaha!"
Many viewers were disgusted by Yao Dong's effeminate voice and narcissism, but there were also many people who laughed.
Xixi also gave Yao Dong a tap and gloated, "Just wait to be scolded by netizens!"
"It's okay."
Yao Dong held little hand tightly and smiled, saying, "I am used to it."
Even now, there are still people who curse Yao Dong as a dog because he is one of the screenwriters for "Chinese Paladin". When "Secret" was turned into a crying scene while smiling, Yao Dong was already prepared to be "cursed".
In this day and age, successful films are only either blockbusters or comedies. "Secret" is far from being a blockbuster, so Yao Dong can only rely on comedy, but the film ends tragically, which is bound to receive criticism.
On the screen, Qi Qi with short hair (transformed into Kong Linxi as Meng Xiaoying) flirts with convenience store cashier Liu Sisi, persuading her to become her dance partner.
"Ah! So exciting."
A girl, quite excited, hugged her girlfriend next to her and said, "I'm starting to doubt my orientation too." Then, with a disgusted look, she added, "Yao Dong is really disgusting."
"This film, I reckon it's going to be a tragedy."
Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up, and he discreetly exchanged a few words with his old classmate, Chen Kaige.
"I think so too!"
Chen Kaige glanced at Hou Keming and confirmed with him, "Meng Xiaoying will probably meet with some unexpected situation later, right?"
"Understood."
Hou Keming laughed and said, "I'm not surprised at all that both of you guessed the tragic ending. Take a closer look and guess what unexpected event will happen."
Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at each other and both laughed. What unexpected event could there be in a romantic film?
Car accident, cancer, or long-lost siblings.
As the plot develops, Yao Dong (played by Kong Linxi) loses his effeminate mannerism and is drawn by the sound of a violin to enter the Central Melody Studio, where he first meets Anxi (played by Meng Xiaoying).
At this moment, Anxi's long hair was flowing, her temperament was ethereal, and there was not a trace of aggression. This was also the first time the two of them appeared together in the film, and the plot officially entered the "sweet moments" section.
At this time, Kong Linxi and Meng Xiaoying are both college students, so they will not be wearing uniforms. The costumes in this movie have all been reviewed by Yao Dong with a vision that is more than ten years ahead. Qian Qian's costumes, in particular, were personally involved in the design process.
So even if they were fed dog food, the audience would still enjoy it.
Wow!
The audience cheered for the "piano duel" scene between Yao Dong and Hu Ge (Qin Sen).
Chen Kaihe, who noticed something was wrong, touched Hou Keming and whispered, "When Meng Xiaoying was in the middle tone, she was no longer human, right? How did you pass the audition?"
He Hekming smiled and shook his head, saying, "He is a normal person, take a closer look."
