"Hey? Where's Jin Nansheng? He was asked to come to the first row but couldn't find a seat. He sat so far back and even ran away! When Aunt Nan asks Sister Yi about the plot of the movie, I'll have to waste my brain cells to remind her! He's really running away from the battlefield, so free and undisciplined, and a hopeless case..."

Maurice's tongue was so fast that even ten horses couldn't catch up. His complaints were buzzing in Qin Yu's ears, so that the next time Qin Yu heard Nan Yi's clear voice was when she said -

"Rather than listing the innovative adaptations of our film, I hope everyone will pay attention to the degree of restoration of the film and see our efforts to respect the original and even restore the story to the greatest extent possible."

The warm applause and exciting cheers lasted for a long time.

The director and Brother Liu were relieved after their hearts were raised in their throats: This guy didn't answer with any of the words he had memorized...

Fortunately, I have some knowledge, otherwise I would not be able to stand such nonsense - their movies have always been pursuing innovation and transcendence...

Xiangjing, in the county cinema.

"Teacher Bai, thank you so much for bringing me to see this movie! I originally thought you had an appointment with your boyfriend to watch it, and he broke the appointment, so you came to me. Next time if something like this happens, call me - ah, no, next time I'll treat you to it!"

Teacher Lu was beaming with excitement, completely different from his usual stern and serious appearance in school.

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you think so? I don't even know anyone here, so how can I have a boyfriend?"

Teacher Lu's straightforward personality would make her suffer even in a village middle school where interpersonal relationships were not too complicated. But she was the principal's biological daughter. That's right, Bai Yan also went to the principal's office with her that day to learn about this secret that many teachers knew but didn't tell...

Having said that, working under Daddy would naturally be smoother and one wouldn't have to be too cautious, so in response to her casual question, Teacher Lu once again spoke frankly.

"You've been staying indoors since the first day you came. You never go out except for class. Every time I see you, you look sad and frowned... Doesn't this look like a broken heart?"

Bai Yan's eyes were wide open without blinking, but she couldn't utter a word in defense.

"You two girls, please stand up. I'll sweep the garbage off the seats inside."

The person who spoke fluent local dialect was a cinema staff member - an old lady who was bending over and sweeping the floor.

"The place is cleared so quickly, grandma." Bai Yan stood on tiptoe and pulled Teacher Lu to make room. When this episode came...

When I looked up, the ending song was almost finished.

Bai Yan stood in the aisle and held up her phone, taking a picture of the slowly scrolling screen. She had to "check in" and send it to "Nana".

Perhaps it was because she had been working in a dark, light-tight movie theater for many years that it was not easy to find someone to talk to. The old lady took the broom and responded seriously to Bai Yan's casual question, "There are too many people coming to watch the show, so I can only clean faster."

The small theater is not as good as those in Sandalwood City. There are only a few theaters in total. Usually, there are not many people watching movies except during festivals. Most of them are young people. But Xiangjing is a typical population exporting city, and there are even fewer young people who stay in the local area after work.

When Bai Yan took her seat, she looked around and found that not many people watched this premiere in this small town - only about one-third of the seats were filled.

So she was surprised - would there be a lot of people watching the next movie?

"Luckily there aren't many people here... Apart from the two of you, there's only one pretty boy left."

The Xiangjing dialect has few obscure and rare words. When students answered questions in class, Bai Yan would guess the answers to the questions she didn't understand. After a few days, she had no pressure at all to listen to them speak the local dialect.

The old lady said that there was a handsome young man who was still there besides the two of them.

Bai Yan and Teacher Lu looked in the direction the old lady's broom was pointing, but they didn't see anyone.

"Eh? He's leaving."

The old lady asked and answered herself with a smile. Her sparse teeth were hidden in the lower half of her face, showing from time to time as she spoke.

After walking out of the screening room, Bai Yan saw on the scrolling screen in the ticket office that the next extremely popular show was called "Eagles in the Sky".

Teacher Lu looked in the direction Bai Yan was staring at and pulled her arm boldly, "You want to see this? Come on, I'll buy you a ticket."

"Hey, hey - no, no, Mr. Lu! Watching other movies will only boost the box office of other movies."

Bai Yan felt helpless. Teacher Lu seemed to want to repay her favor today. "How about this! Next time! Next time I will let you treat me. Let's go watch my friend's new play."

Worried that Teacher Lu would not listen and act impulsively, Bai Yan hurriedly dragged him out.

Outside the cinema, there are street vendors, young and old people strolling in the nearby shopping mall, and people who just came out of the cinema.

"Teacher Lu...wait here for me!"

Even Bai Yan herself didn't realize that her voice was shaking very slightly.

Two seconds ago, she seemed to see a familiar figure, less than 200 meters away from her. But there were so many people that when she chased after him, she found nothing.

Maybe I saw it wrong...

Bai Yan's legs stayed where they were.

It seems that she is really going crazy.

The on-site autograph session was in full swing. Qin Yu called Aunt Nan and her friends at the right time and presented the flowers prepared in advance one after another. There was even a group of friends holding banners below - this was of course also prepared by Qin Yu in advance.

Soon, the leading actors were surrounded by the audience.

The posing and controlling of the situation were done by professionals in the film crew. Qin Yu was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so she just said "Qi Wenyuan" and slipped away.

"Tell me the truth, what do you think, dear?"

"No ambition, no innovation."

Fu Baihui and her boyfriend walked out of the crowded giant-screen movie theater, pointing at the movie tickets in their hands and listing the evidence.

The two of them were completely different from the surrounding family movie-watching group, which was in a harmonious atmosphere and full of smiles.

"Oh my god, how did you become my boyfriend, baby? You said exactly what I thought!"

Fu Baihui couldn't help but speak out, and began to elaborate on how dissatisfied she was with the movie just now. "This kind of film that sells sentimentality is made every year, and no one gets tired of it... Well, how can you complain about making too much money? At first glance, everyone seems to be happy after watching it, and I feel like my blood is boiling immediately, but if you think about it carefully, what is this? Isn't it more exciting to watch a documentary than this?"

The boyfriend was recording his girlfriend's complaints and nodding his head.
