Chapter 32 Ice Coke
At night.
When Jiang Yang got off the nanny car, he received a call from his sister, saying that his mother had received the call, so he could rest assured.
He hung up the phone and arrived at Sunshine Studios before he knew it.
This premiere is held here.
When he entered the mall, he saw many people queuing up. Movie promotional posters occupied an entire wall. There were also many posters and roll-up display racks. Most of them had movie scenes and lines. Jiang Yang also saw people using the theme song. Poster for "Farewell": "A pot of wine will make you happy, don't sleep in the cold tonight."
Jiang Yang didn't come with Li Qingning. There were many reporters at the premiere, and he didn't want people to watch.
He got the guest invitation letter, so he didn't have to queue up. After redeeming the ticket, Jiang Yang went up to the floor where the cinema was located. There were still many people waiting in the lobby. In front of the exhibition board, a bunch of reporters gathered around to take advantage of the guests. Take photos while signing.
Jiang Yang looked around and saw that it was good. Li Qingning hadn't come up yet. He went to buy himself a large glass of iced Coke. This Coke with ice is the way to go. Only iced Coke has soul. However, before he could take a sip, someone tapped him on the shoulder, which startled Jiang Yang. He hurriedly hid the coke, but when he looked back, he saw that it was not Li Qingning.
The actor who filmed the commercial was called Tang Bo, he remembered.
“Brother Jiang, you are here too.”
Tang Bo was wearing an ill-fitting suit and twisted his body uncomfortably.
"Oh yes."
Jiang Yang took out the Coke, "Are you coming to the movie premiere too?"
Tang Bo chuckled, "I played a bit part in it. This is my first time on the big screen. I'll come over and take a look."
“Lao Tang, Lao Tang.”
A big bald man squeezed over with two large buckets of popcorn, "Hold some for me."
He saw Jiang Yang and asked Tang Bo, "Who is this little brother -"
“Oh. This is Jiang Yang. I was the one who planned that commercial, the great talent Jiang.”
Tang Bo's compliments seemed free of charge.
The bald man shook hands hurriedly, and because he had popcorn in his hand, he gave it to Tang Bo, and then extended his hand, "Dear Tang Bo, I saw that advertisement. It was so well shot. Old Tang is famous because of that advertisement." Now, when we meet, we call him Brother Biyuntao."
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Tang Bo pushed the bald man and introduced to Jiang Yang: "This is my friend, Lao Zhu."
At this moment, there was a commotion from the other side of the display board. Li Qingning appeared in front of everyone wearing a red dress with sloping shoulders and long shawl hair. She was cool, sassy and glamorous. Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat when he saw it in the car. .
“Li Yu!”
"demon king!"
The crowd was in a commotion, and because they hadn't seen each other for five years, the Demon King had changed dramatically, and there were also a lot of surprised sounds. Li Qingning nodded to them, and was escorted by Sister Chen, assistants and staff to the sign-in board. After signing her name, she went in.
Jiang Yang was afraid that she would see the Coke in her hand, so he hid it behind his back.
Tang Bo and the others turned to look at Jiang Yang, "Let's go in."
The three of them entered the screening room together. Li Qingning was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing a hat. Jiang Yang took this opportunity to sneak to the back and sit with Tang Bo and Lao Zhu.
"Have it?"
Jiang Yang took a sip of Coke and immediately became more energetic. He asked Tang Bo, "What did you play in it?" "A car repairman."
He got interested and told Jiang Yang that in order to play the car repairman well, he spent the whole night trying to figure it out after getting the role, "In the movie, although I only have a few scenes and one line, the meaning in my lines is Emotional changes are very particular..."
At this moment, Zhu Li, supported by the baby fat next to Li Qingning, came over and stretched out her hand to Jiang Yang. Tang Bo stopped talking and looked at Jiang Yang and Zhu Li in confusion, wondering what kind of riddle they were playing between them.
Jiang Yang knows.
He reluctantly took a sip of the iced Coke, and then gave the Coke to Julie.
Julie took it and left.
Thanks to the car accident, Jiang Yang took a lot of pills that year, which damaged his stomach. Now he feels uncomfortable even if he gets a little bit of cold. This is not a big problem. He can drink something to warm him up. Just make peace and everything will be fine. But Li Qingning always felt that Jiang Yang's behavior of using his stomach as a container was not healthy enough.
He smiled at the two of them and said, "My wife won't let me drink ice."
Lao Zhu was convinced, "Your wife is in charge of this, Xiao Jiang, you are not a strict henwife, are you?"
Tang Bo felt that this was not important. What was important was that he was already married. "You are getting married too early."
Lao Zhu retorted, "Isn't it too early for you to get married?"
“Of course, he left early.”
Lao Zhu asked Jiang Yang to teach Tang Bo a lesson, "Don't imitate him."
“Bah, bah, bah.”
Tang Bo threw popcorn at him, "What are you talking about?"
At this time, when the lights were turned off, the movie started. Jiang Yang grabbed their popcorn and watched it while eating. This movie directed by a great director is different. Not to mention the acting and plot, it was shot with this scenery, just like a travel promotional film. .
The two leading actors performed well and deserved to be movie kings.
The two protagonists, one is cynical, is terminally ill, and is about to leave this world; the other is living a mess, withdrawing from a failed middle-aged life. They drive a car all the way west and quarrel with each other. Meet different people…
As they move forward, friendship, love, honesty, and courage continue to emerge, and the cynical people continue to reconcile with the world. The entire cinema is immersed in this "farewell" road trip, and the emotions slowly flow. When my friend closed his eyes under the laughter of the setting sun, his sadness reached its lowest point and filled the entire screening room.
When the middle-aged man drove alone, passing through the sea of flowers that his friend had never forgotten before his death, and the harmonica melody of "Farewell" sounded, the sad but sad mood created by the movie for nearly two hours finally found an outlet.
So much so that some people’s eyes got wet.
After the harmonica sound, it was followed by the piano "Farewell". To Jiang Yang's expectation, this piano sound was not played in a movie, but played live. When the lights turned on, Li Qingning was seen sitting in front of the piano, the sound of the piano was melodious. She slowly approached the microphone in front of her, "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and green..."
This was the first time Jiang Yang heard Li Qingning live.
Of course, it doesn’t count when she’s practicing.
In this "Farewell", Li Qingning brings some of the cheerful emotions of a little girl, seeming to help the audience who are immersed in the sadness of farewell learn to relax.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingning. She was calm and composed. Her singing attracted people's thoughts and made them immersed. Their thoughts were flying. Everyone listened quietly. Scenes of farewell scenes in the movie emerged in their eyes. Finally, they understood. Life is about constant parting and encountering. Cherish when we meet, bless when we part, and it is fate to meet again.
Jiang Yang watched his wife confidently and gracefully under the spotlight, dancing with her hands on the black and white keys. He was proud of her and wanted to tell the whole world that this was his woman.
When the sound of the piano gradually dissipated in the lingering sound, Li Qingning stood up and bowed.
The applause was thunderous.
