Chapter 163, Heartbeat.

As the plot progresses, after the four piano performances, Anxi (played by Zhenmeng Xiaoying) hides in the cupboard, and Huang Lei (guest starring as the teacher) opens the cupboard.
Chen Kaige touched Haoke Ming again and concluded, "When Huang Lei opened the cupboard, he definitely didn't see Meng Xiaoying. How on earth did you pass the audition?"
"Still dreaming until now?" Tian Zhuangzhuang was not sure.
"Forget it."
Hou Keming laughed again and proudly said, "I'll give you a hint, they are not in the same time and space."
Time travel is not a new idea, but after traveling, only one person or a few people can see it. Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at each other again and laughed. Their gaze also turned to the big screen simultaneously.
On the big screen at this moment, smiling Anxin (played by Meng Xiaoying) sees that in the music room, Yao Dong "kisses" Tang Yan (played by Zhen Si), her smile disappears, tears well up in her eyes, and only then do the tears fall, and Qian Qian laughs and turns away.
Yao Dong, who had a feeling, chased out of the music room and shouted into the air, "Xiaoying." The film then enters a "tearjerking" plot.
Kong Linxi took the lyrics and music of "In the Future" from Qin Sen's hands, and the movie soundtrack started playing, and yes, it was sung by Qian Qian!
Sure!" "
Listening to the applause from the audience, Qian Qian poked Yao Dong and said indignantly, "I told you not to sing this song, just look at them!"
"It's okay."
Yao Dong smiled and gently patted her hand, saying, "They will be crying later."
On the big screen, Kong Linxi started searching from the middle range, then went to the places where they had dates together, and finally arrived at the dream-like Jiangcheng. In Jiangcheng, Kong Linxi encountered Meng Mama (Xu Xiaodan), who had silver hair. Meng Mama confidently told Kong Linxi that she did not have a daughter and had never heard of a person named Meng Xiaoying.
Unable to find any clues, Kong Linxi returned to the empty classroom at Zhongyin. Waking up from a nap, he found a line of words on the desk: "I am Xiaoying."
Kong Linxi grabbed a marker pen and wrote back, "Where are you?"
Just now, the four characters "I am Xiao Ying" were still clear, but now they have started to become blurry. At the same time, another line of text appeared on the table: "Do you love me?"
"I love you, Meng Xiaoying..."
Before Kong Linxi finished writing, the whole table turned into twinkling "starlight" and disappeared completely. Kong Linxi went crazy and shouted at the air, "I love you, Meng Xiaoying! Where are you?"
Both the guests and the audience at the scene were filled with question marks in their minds. Fortunately, the big screen quickly provided the answer: lost and bewildered, Kong Linxi came alone to the old piano room where the two first met. Based on his memory, he started playing the piano. When they first met, Meng Xiaoying played "Secret", and as the piano music became faster, the scene began to rotate. Kong Linxi traveled to the future, and the film officially entered the "revealing secret" finale.
In the future, after Kong Linxi learned about the side effects of time travel, there was a fast-paced flash scene: in 2015, Meng Xiaoying was admitted to the Middle School of Music… following the young Kong father (Chen Kun), eavesdropping on the conversation between Chen Kun and Zhou Xun… introducing oneself again and again to family and classmates… and finally, Meng Xiaoying and the desk turned into sparkling "starlight".
At the end of the film: Kong Linxi tried various methods to document his story with Meng Xiaoying. However, none of the methods were successful, and Kong Linxi was the only person in the world who knew that Meng Xiaoying ever existed.
The ending song "In My Song" plays as the film ends. The movie concludes with a still frame of a poster for the nationwide release of "Secret" on July 30th. The poster features the phrase "Teng Xun Weibo".
July 30th is the online release date.
"Splash, splash, splash!"
When the lights on the ceiling turn on, the audience spontaneously applauds, paying tribute to this movie, to all the creators, and to the sincerity and enthusiasm within.
Host Xie Nan walks onto the stage and says: "Let's welcome the producers of "Secret" Han Sanping, Chairman Han, and Li Xinmin, Chairman Li."
"Let's also welcome the director of "Secret" Wu Ershan, the actor who played Kong Linxi, Yao Dong, the actress who played Meng Xiaoying, An Qian, the actor who played Qin Sen, Hu Ge, the actress who played Zhen Si, Tang Yan, and the actress who played Le Shishi, Liu Sisi, to come on stage together."
What about the producer Zhong Li Fang? She is still in Hong Kong discussing the issue with Jiahe Films.
Several key crew members of "Secret" lined up on stage while the media friends snapped photos. Meanwhile, the host Xie Nan started asking questions: "Let's start with Chairman Han, Chairman Han, what were your thoughts after watching the film?"
Han Sanping smiled and said, "Impressive! Over two years ago, Yao Dong told me that this is a science fiction musical youth comedy romance film. Back then, I was very skeptical, but today I not only see the music, youth, and romance, but I also see the seeds of comedy and science fiction! This gives me some confidence in opening up the sci-fi genre in Chinese films!"
As soon as Han Sanping finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience.
"Thank you, Mr. Han. Next, let's ask Mr. Li. Mr. Li, I'm curious to know how you felt when you saw Qianqian turn into twinkling starlight?"
"Yao Dong, this little brat, needs to be taught a lesson."
The whole crowd cheered as Li Xinmin scolded her son, Gou Dong.
Li Xinmin smiled and admonished her son, "Listen up, if you ever dare to lose Qianqian again, you'll be in trouble!"
"I will never dare to do it again next time!" Yao Dong promised.
The audience and guests in the audience laughed again.
"Thank you, Director Li, for helping us relieve the tension!"
Xie Nan on stage also laughed uncontrollably, but continued to ask, "Director Wu, are you satisfied with your first movie?"
Any director is never satisfied with his own movie!
Wu Ershan smiled and gave a very director-like answer: "Overall, it is still satisfactory, and the completeness of the film is not bad, but in terms of film language, I think it can be done better."
Xie Nan nodded with a smile and quickly shifted the topic to Qian Qian, saying, "Qian Qian, Meng Xiaoying really impressed me just now. The difference between her short hair and long hair is like two different people. How did you manage that?"
Xixi glanced at Yaodong and said with a sweet smile: "We were supposed to play two people in the first place. After the script was finalized, I started to observe Dongdong and imitate him. When we were shooting the body-switching scene, I acted based on his mannerisms."
"The preparation work was so thorough, no wonder you can act so well. So, Sisi, how did you feel when you were filming with Qianqian?" Xie Nan smoothly shifted the topic to Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi glanced at Qian Qian and then at Yao Dong, and smiled, "I'm really tempted~ I still want to snatch Qian Qian away from Yao Dong now~"
There was laughter both on and off the stage, and Liu Sisi was even more delighted. Xie Nan controlled the pace and asked, "Yao Dong, when you saw them filming that scene, how did you feel? Did you feel pressured?"
"No!"
Yao Dong originally wanted to make a biting remark, "Let's see after she goes to Thailand." But feeling a force coming from his palm, he changed his tone and said, "They are best friends to begin with, so I don't have any pressure. We all praised each other during the filming."
Liu Sisi did not pretend at all, and Yao Dong did indeed applaud!
"Really? Tang Yan, when you were filming the 'kissing scene' with Yao Dong, did Xixi not applaud?" Xie Nan provocatively asked.
"No, there wasn't anything like that~"
Tang Yan smiled and explained, "At that time, Qian Qian was brewing her emotions. That scene was originally a misunderstanding from Meng Xiaoying's perspective. It only seemed like they kissed, but in reality, they hadn't actually kissed yet when Kong Linxi caught up."
Xie Nan nodded and turned the topic to Hu Ge, saying, "Hu Ge, from what I know, you learned to play the piano because of this movie, right? How long did you practice to become so skilled?"
Hugo lifted the microphone and laughed, "Yao Dong fooled me into believing that practicing a few songs would be enough, but it took several months and we still had problems during filming. Director Wu was so scared that he changed the scene of the four-hands piano duet to the wrap-up scene."
“……”
One-hour exchange session was very lively, with media and audience scrambling for topics. Yao Dong and several creators were also ready to answer questions. Later, even Chen Kaihe couldn't help but come on stage and earnestly said, "Secret" is a very imaginative, logical, and profound film! Yao Dong, I even want the script you wrote."
以陈恺铬的江湖地位，今天他说出这样的话绝对是捧了一手姚东。
“末学后进，不敢造次。我不足的地方很多，还需要向各位师长学习。”
When it's time to be humble, Yao Dong remains humble and doesn't get carried away.
As for what Chen Kaige said about needing a script, Yao Dong didn't take it seriously either. Since Chen, the big director, won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, his filmmaking has been unpredictable, and no script can contain his imagination.
