Relying on love in the entertainment industry

About a week later, the final cut of "I Was" was finally complete.Afterwards, there was an internal screening. Xie Zhisheng specifically told Fang Nan the specific time of the next day, so that he should not be late.

On the day of the screening, most of the behind-the-scenes personnel and more than half of the main actors arrived early.Liu Wen didn't come this time because she had other activities planned, and she won't appear until the official promotion.

Besides, most of the people Fang Nan knew were there.

Afterwards, everyone found their seats in the screening room and sat down. Cheng Xi turned off the lights, and the preview began.

On the pitch-black screen, a painting-like pink cherry blossom first bloomed, and then as the cherry blossoms slowly fell, it turned into a campus spring scene dotted with pink flowers.

Liu Wen gently brushed off the cherry blossoms that fell on her body, and a friend's call came from a distance, and her young voice was clear and full of vitality.

The beautiful girl has many admirers, but only one of them has the most exaggerated behavior and absurd personality, and that is the hero played by Zhan Qing.

Among all Liu Wen's admirers, he is not the most handsome, not the best, not even the richest...but he is the one who expresses himself the most.

As soon as the new term started, he showed it perfectly.

The college life is not rich, and the flowers saved from the part-time job and food expenses are given to Liu Wen every three or two days. I thought it was romantic, but I foolishly played for her downstairs in Liu Wen’s dormitory. A guitar... Everyone laughed at him at first.The roommates around Liu Wen taunted each other unscrupulously, treating him as a joke.Liu Wen didn't take it seriously either—it wasn't the first time she met such a frivolous and reckless boy, and she wouldn't be easily moved by him.

She thought that if she refused a few times, the other party would give up quickly.

But when such behavior lasted for more than a year, Liu Wen couldn't continue to turn a blind eye when her friends made fun of each other, but couldn't help but open her mouth to stop them.

In the second half of the second year of university, Zhan Qing made a big joke as soon as the semester started.He was misled, sent the wrong flowers, and gave the flowers to Liu Wen to another boy with the same name as the heroine played by Liu Wen.

For this reason, he once again became the subject of ridicule by everyone. Even Zhan Qing, who had always been in a good mood, felt a little embarrassed and frustrated, and then Liu Wen suddenly appeared in front of him on his own initiative.

She said to him, "Don't send any more flowers, I don't like them."

This is not the first time she said this, but after every rejection in the past, Zhan Qing would only send another kind of flower.Even if she doesn't accept it, he will insist on sending it to her classroom, dormitory, or other places.

But Liu Wen is a little different today.Because she also said: "I don't like your appearance either."

I don't like him being laughed at, I don't like that he has to send her a bouquet of flashy flowers every two or three days even though he obviously doesn't have that ability, and I don't like watching him being mocked and used by his friends but forcing a smile on her.

10 minutes after the movie entered the plot, despite everyone's ridicule, the heroine and the heroine were together.

After that, the story gradually improved. The two fell in love, overcame difficulties, and gradually used their sincere feelings to turn the ridicule and malice of the people around them into blessings and goodwill.This section is the sweetest part of the whole film, and even the soundtrack has a little joyful taste.In this relationship, Liu Wen has an absolute advantage, and Zhan Qing almost obeys her.

The process of falling in love is composed of jumping pictures without lines, but anyone can see the sweetness of the two protagonists limited to being in love.Because there are no lines, this passage is rendered with music.Xie Zhisheng personally believes that Fang Nan's soundtrack has largely sublimated the atmosphere of this episode, making the relationship sweeter and fuller.

Then when the two graduated, the plot re-entered the normal rhythm.

Liu Wen and Zhan Qing met each other's parents after graduation, but Liu Wen's parents were not very satisfied with Zhan Qing after knowing Zhan Qing's family background, and made it clear that they were dissatisfied.They mocked Zhan Qing with words, and persuaded Liu Wen to break up with him, until it became a harsh order.

But Liu Wen insisted on being with Zhan Qing, and even contradicted her parents for this.The two parties broke up unhappy, and then there was a tug-of-war with each other's tricks. In the end, Liu Wen married Zhan Qing despite her parents' opposition.

When they got married, the wedding of the two did not get the blessing of Liu Wen's parents, so the wedding of the two seemed quite deserted and bleak.After that, Liu Wen was treated coldly by her parents because of Zhan Qing's relationship.Liu Wen's loneliness caused Zhan Qing to feel tremendous pressure and low self-esteem, and this made him start to get a little irritable and out of control.

The impatient Zhan Qing had an urgent desire to stand out, so he began to look for shortcuts and take some crooked ways.So gradually, Liu Wen found that he often stayed out all night, mixed with some very dangerous people, and always wanted to reach the sky.Liu Wen, who disagreed, began to argue with Zhan Qing. Although Zhan Qing would back down every time, gradually, when Liu Wen failed to find out, he began to take risks.

But "getting ahead" is not that simple. It takes time and experience to accumulate. However, Zhan Qing is too impatient, so there have been constant twists and turns, which also caused disputes between the two of them to break out one after another.In these disputes one after another, Liu Wen was heartbroken, but at the same time, because of his backing down and unreserved love, she felt pain and intolerance for him.

Zhan Qing was so drunk that he almost vomited out his lungs in order to drink with the big shots of the three teachings and nine ranks, but he also had a pale face and told Liu Wen in his sleep that he would definitely make Liu Wen feel proud in front of his family and make Liu Wen feel proud. Wen is in a complicated mood.

But Liu Wen was very worried, worried that something would happen to Zhan Qing sooner or later.And when she found out that Zhan Qing had started to get in touch with casinos and usury, Liu Wen was furious. She, who was always gentle, even picked up a broom and beat her husband hard.Facing the broom picked up by his thin wife, the tall man fled like a house mouse. He could only resist, but did not dare to fight back.

It was Liu Wen who did it, and it was Liu Wen who cried.

Obviously being beaten up and fled in embarrassment, but when Liu Wen couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she covered her face and wept, Zhan Qing immediately got out of the corner regardless, and began to comfort Liu Wen at a loss.

Liu Wen's tears made Zhan Qing flustered, so although he was unwilling, he decided to listen to her and stop mixing with those people.

Liu Wen burst into tears when she heard his promise.

But it was not so easy to do this. Although Zhan Qing wanted to get away, he was threatened.He was lucky and felt that the other party valued him very much, so he decided to give it a last chance.

He took away the savings from his family, and only told Liu Wen that there was something wrong, but he didn't come back for days and nights.Liu Wen was in a hurry and went out to look for him in the rain that night, but instead got sick from the cold.

Liu Wen was very ill, with high fever and inflammation, which made her very painful, but even so, she insisted on getting Zhan Qing back—she waited at home in a daze for several days, trying to dial The caller on the other side often thought that Zhan Qing was back in his sleep, but he didn't.

Liu Wen felt angry, lonely, and disappointed again.

In the end, Liu Wen went to the hospital in pain.But the doctor told her cruelly that she was concurrently infected with acute interstitial pneumonia, which is a terminal illness.

After that, Liu Wen thought about it for a day and a night, then silently packed her things at dawn, left a letter for Zhan Qing, and left the home where the two had lived for more than a year.

The soundtrack at this time is the song "Forgive" composed by Fang Nan.

——Love someone/Always forgive/Wound again and again/Forget again and again...The arrogance of moving mountains and seas/It also ends in death/It never forgives/It never forgives...

After Zhan Qing returned home a few days later, he found Liu Wen leaving a letter and leaving.How Liu Wen died is not mentioned in the film, but it is clear that the episode has hinted at her death.

However, in Liu Wen's letter, she didn't say that she was seriously ill, but just said that she couldn't stand Zhan Qing's back-and-forth and fooling around with others, so she decided to leave Zhan Qing and told Zhan Qing not to come to her again.

Liu Wen will never see him again until he can get down to earth and get ahead on the right path.

Zhan Qing anxiously searched all of Liu Wen's relatives and friends, but no one was willing to tell him about Liu Wen.Liu Wen's parents scolded him and kicked him out, but Liu Wen's sister just told him with a cold face that he would never see Liu Wen again unless he could really stand out.

After a long period of entanglement with no results, Zhan Qing had no choice but to pack his bags, avoid the three schools and nine streams that were originally mixed together, and went to another city to start a business.During this process, he suffered a lot, suffered a lot, and took a lot of risks, but every time he wanted to take a shortcut, he thought of Liu Wen's tears and her resolute departure, and stopped again.

In this way, year after year, every once in a while, he would call back Liu Wen's sister and tell her what he had done, what kind of results he had achieved, how much money he had made... and then he looked forward to such news It will reach Liu Wen's ears.

Let her know that he still loves her and is still working hard to see her.

Director Xie used a scene where Zhan Qing was running in the rain to call Liu Wen’s sister to express the emotions of this episode, and the music that followed was slightly brisk—the melody represented Zhan Qing’s full expectation for the future Mood.

——For so many days/many years/I miss your voice and your smile/I miss your warm fingertips...

It wasn't until the autumn of the fifth year that Zhan Qing finally achieved both fame and fortune, and the company he founded was officially listed on the GEM. Then he asked Liu Wen's family again, hoping to see Liu Wen.

But the last thing he saw was Liu Wen's grave—he finally knew why his beloved wife left him so resolutely.

Liu Wen did not have Zhan Qing's company in her last life.She actually hoped that her lover would be by her side, but after all, she endured the final pain and loneliness alone for the sake of him.
