Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 354: Success or Failure
At Zhou Dongsheng's invitation, Liu Huaiying, who had never been to a movie theater in most of his life, followed Zhou Dongsheng into the theater.
"In the past, movies were organized by the village and shown outdoors. We had to go there in advance with a bench to reserve a seat, otherwise we could only stand at the back to watch..."
"It's nothing like nowadays, where cinemas are decorated like auditoriums." Liu Huaiying sighed as he looked around the cinema environment, finding it extremely fresh.
This time it really was Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh. If his old mother knew what he was thinking in his heart, she would probably scold him.
"This movie is called "Charlotte's Troubles"? Why is it the name of a foreigner? Is it speaking bird language? I, your mother, can't understand it." Liu Huaiying continued to mutter.
"Don't worry, Mom. This is just a comedy movie. And the guy's name is Charlotte, which means he's very troubled. You'll understand when you watch it."
Zhou Dongsheng explained with a smile, and Li Jiana beside him couldn't help but let out a soft "Oh" as she suddenly realized, so this is what the name means.
Obviously, Zhou Dongsheng is not the only one who is confused by the name of this movie. When he first watched the movie, Zhou Dongsheng also had similar doubts, and he did not solve the mystery until the movie began.
This comedy film is full of wit and humor right from the name.
As the movie began, Liu Huaiying also kept in mind the civilized movie-watching elements that Zhou Dongsheng had reminded him of, and watched the movie on the big screen with full concentration.
As the entire movie was being shown, the theater was filled with laughter at the series of funny jokes.
Even Liu Huaiying, who could not understand the concept of "rebirth", was happy too. The reason why this movie became a dark horse that created a box office miracle during the National Day holiday has a lot to do with the fact that the comedy is suitable for all ages.
In addition, many of the famous scenes and gags created in this movie are also classics that have been passed down, and it can be regarded as one of the few high-quality comedy films in recent years.
This time, in addition to joining in the fun, Zhou Dongsheng also felt a little more joy from "empathy". This movie-watching experience was probably the only joy he had among all the audience.
I even couldn't help but follow the thread of the movie and imagine what I could do if I went back to Charlotte's time in 1997...
But after thinking about it, Zhou Dongsheng still couldn't figure out how a one-year-old kid like him could do something earth-shattering.
Most of the time, they can only start as a "child prodigy", for example, they can speak fluently at the age of one, and can read the multiplication table at the age of two...
Thinking about it this way, it seems quite exciting, and I can live another twenty years and enjoy campus life from beginning to end...
Amidst laughter and cheers, the one and a half hour movie soon came to an end. The lights in the theater came on, and the audience began to leave with a sense of reluctance to leave.
"If I were reborn in 1997, I would definitely find a way to cling to Brother Ma's thighs, and then go to Hangzhou to find Teacher Ma. Two carriages would pull me away. Just thinking about it makes me feel great!"
"Charlotte's dream is over, and it's your turn to start dreaming, right? How old were you in 1997 and you were clinging to someone else's thigh?"
"Yeah, you can't just hug someone and call him daddy, right? Hahaha~"
The two young men were talking about the movie and walked past Zhou Dongsheng. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly. You never thought, did you? The real reborn person is sitting next to you, watching the same movie with you.
"It turned out to be a dream. This movie is quite interesting. If your mother could return to her youth, I would definitely not marry your father. I would start my own business and maybe become a famous female entrepreneur!" Liu Huaiying said with a smile.
"Then I will lose your precious son, but I still agree with your idea, mom!" Zhou Dongsheng agreed very much.
"Then for the sake of my son, I, your mother, have to endure a little hardship. After all, everything will pay off in the end." Liu Huaiying patted Zhou Dongsheng and said with emotion.
"It's okay. It's not too late for me to become a well-known female entrepreneur now. Just think of it as making your dream come true. If I lose money, I can make it back for my son." Zhou Dongsheng interrupted with a grin.
" Okay , okay, my son is the most capable." This time Liu Huaiying did not refute, but said with great satisfaction.
"That's right. It doesn't matter who gave birth to the baby. Huaiying Huaiying, doesn't that mean you are pregnant with a hero?" Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
"You're lost after hearing a few words of praise, right? Your grandfather gave me this name so that I can be heroic and be as capable as men~" Liu Huaiying scolded with a smile.
"Well, isn't this a blessing in disguise?" Hugging his old mother, Zhou Dongsheng made jokes and sang wittily. The picture of loving mother and filial son was particularly heartwarming.
After watching this movie, Zhou Dongsheng finally remembered one important matter: he still had a movie investment matter to settle.
It just so happened that this time I went to Shanghai to attend Huang Xiaoming’s wedding, and Brother Jing was also one of the best men, so he could just get this matter done.
…
Happy days are always short, and the National Day holiday soon came to an end. Zhou Dongsheng gathered himself together and boarded a flight to the Magic City.
Zhou Dongsheng was full of anticipation for being able to attend this wedding of the century that was said to gather half of the entertainment industry.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng couldn’t tell whether he was there to “witness” or to “watch the joke”…
It is worth mentioning that in addition to this incident, with the start of the National Day holiday, the three seeded teams of the LPL region went to Paris, France to participate in the S5 Global Finals as scheduled...
And when the LGD team had a salary dispute with the team coach Chris after winning the summer season, and parted ways unhappily, it meant that the wheel of history has not changed its direction and is still repeating the same mistakes.
Before the game started, the LGD team, which was listed as the favorite to win the championship by ESPN, was the popular choice. Countless viewers were looking forward to it and pinned their hopes on this "year with the best hope of winning the championship."
After the LGD team experienced the taboo of changing generals at the last minute, the optimistic team seemed to be naturally allergic to romance, and therefore had trouble adapting to the romantic capital of Paris, France.
At the beginning of the group stage, the team suffered an unexpected defeat in the first match. At the same time, the criticized understanding of the version and the lack of attention to Iron Man made the performance of this team, which was the favorite to win the championship, shocking.
When losing a game, the audience can still comfort themselves that it is not a big problem and they can still adjust.
When we lost the second game, the audience started to get upset. Cheer up, LGD, you are the number one seed of LPL!
When they were losing the third game, the audience started cursing, saying they were the favorite to win the championship, the number one seed, and the most promising year. They really have no shame!
In the first round of the group stage, the LGD team lost all three games, putting themselves on the edge of a cliff and causing overwhelming public opinion.
As the saying goes in e-sports, being bad is the original sin. As long as you lose, everything you say is an excuse.
And when the audience picked up the magnifying glass and started looking for an outlet to vent, LGD team played the second group match.
In the match against KT team, an ordinary "reverse Q" mistake in the high ground defense battle gave the audience a breakthrough in their emotions.
Varus, the hero who once created a famous scene where he flashed into the dragon pit with blind vision and got a kill with a Q, has now become the biggest "failure" in his career.
It can be said that Virus was the reason for his success as well as his failure. The overwhelming public opinion completely pushed this talented young man to the forefront.
