Chapter 728: Our Story
The story certainly continues.
Cheng Dongqing already has a girl she likes, she is one of the best girls in the school, Meng Xiaojun feels that Cheng Dongqing is hitting a stone with an egg, but Wang Yang said that he just wants to help Cheng Dongqing hit a stone with an egg.
Various pursuit methods are staged in turn.
There was a heart-warming laugh at the scene, obviously many people thought of their campus youth in the three brothers, Wang Yang is the dog-headed military advisor who pursued the girl by himself, and the three or two friends and a girl with long hair fluttering in the memory are sad and sweet and a little crazy.
The final ending is ridiculous.
Su Mei jumped into the lake in order to refuse Cheng Dongqing, but she got pneumonia because of it, Cheng Dongqing kissed her regardless of the risk of being infected, and occupied a piece of land in this girl's heart, Su Mei asked unwillingly: "Cheng Dongqing, why you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
Luo Xun is like an enraged hedgehog, his tone and breathing are aggravated at the same time, with a hot and unwilling kiss like raindrops falling, and the vicissitudes of music that seem to hit the audience's heart are sounding!
This song is called "The Girl in the Flower House".
The people of that era were catchy: "You ask me where I am going, I point in the direction of the sea, you take me into your flower room, I can't escape the fragrance of flowers......"
Cheng Dongqing chased Su Mei.
I also got tuberculosis because of this.
Tuberculosis requires Luo Xun to take a year off, this year Meng Xiaojun refused Wang Yang's invitation and did not dare to see Cheng Holly because he was busy with Kaoto, for fear that he would be infected with tuberculosis, but he handed over the English dictionary he never borrowed to Wang Yang and asked him to transfer it to Cheng Holly.
A note stuffed into the dictionary reads:
One day, you'll make me jealous.
Then the first scene of the movie happened, Meng Xiaojun's visa was successful, Cheng Dongqing's visa failed, and Wang Yang gave up the visa opportunity for the American girl who was stranded in China, Meng Xiaojun said that he would not come back when he said goodbye at the airport, Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang cried, Meng Xiaojun turned around in a dashing manner, out of the sight of the two-
Crying like a dog.
Zhou Yang, a film critic in front of the big screen, watched this scene with emotion, he also had a good buddy who studied abroad, and his roommates hugged his head and cried when he saw him off, but later graduated, everyone went their separate ways to make a living, and there was little contact over the years.
in the movie.
Luo Xun graduated.
He took the visa twice, but still failed, and in order to make a living, he chose to work within the system and stayed on to become an English teacher, in his own description: "The students love my classes because they can sleep in my classes." ”
It's not the worst.
In order to buy books for his girlfriend Su Mei such as Kaoto, he also secretly took a private tutor to help the grandson of a school leader tutor, but as a result, the leader unloaded and killed the donkey, not only did not pay him, but took the opportunity to fire him.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight.
When Luo Xun's career was disappointed, Su Mei actually passed the visa test and was about to go abroad, so Luo Xun asked her in the tone of a visa officer, Su Mei, will you still return to China, Su Mei replied silently.
Luo Xun seemed to understand something.
On the eve of Su Mei's departure, in the dim light, the two broke through the taboo between men and women, and Cheng Dongqing seemed to grow up overnight, so in the last class before being expelled, for the first time in his life, he was mad at the students who slept in his class: "Can you not sleep in my class?"
The students woke up instantly.
But when he put forward the threat of "you can go out if you don't want to go to class", there were really students who packed up their things and walked out of the classroom, and at that moment Luo Xun's expression was a little funny, and he seemed to use everything he had experienced to implement what the so-called "loser" should look like.
He is like a weed;
He was like a lump of mud;
He is like a toad in a stinky ditch, exuding a disgusting smell all over his body, and even like a simple and honest earth dog at the head of the village, he doesn't know how to bark when bullied.
"Cheng Holly, why you?"
Su Mei's words to him seemed to ring in his ears again, and he finally understood why Su Mei rejected him again and again, and being admitted to university didn't seem to change his fate, he was still the second fool from the village.
How pathetic, how ridiculous.
He doesn't have any teaching level, so no student will care about what he talks about in class; he doesn't have the so-called personality charm, so his girlfriend Su Mei also went abroad to run for a better future; even if the school leaders cheated him, he couldn't give birth to the courage to resist, so he could only be mad at the students who didn't like to listen in such a class-
In this moment.
He suddenly figured it out.
He sat on the table of the students who had left the classroom, and in a self-deprecating way, he tore open the wounds in his life that seemed to have scabbed, laughed and told everything he had experienced, mocking his own life-
In the manner of an English teacher.
He said he was the man who was left behind, he said his girlfriend slept with him before he left the country, he said that when he first came to school, people laughed at his English like a Japanese accent, and he said that he secretly read a passion magazine sent by a friend in the United States.
His mess makes people laugh.
His language is addictive.
When the bell rang for the end of class, the students looked at the teacher who seemed to be different from usual, and they were reluctant, but before this mood lasted longer, Luo Xun bowed deeply to the audience, and left a deep back in the news spread on the school loudspeaker:
"The school decided to expel Cheng Holly. ”
He pedaled on a tricycle, like a lost dog, and when he left in embarrassment, a girl in the class chased him and asked: "Teacher Cheng, Teacher Cheng, where are you running a school, I will take the TOEFL test next month and want to find you to make up for the class." ”
He stopped suddenly.
The voiceover is David Tong's narration: "No one knows better than me that he was forced, because if he didn't agree, he would have to go back to his hometown and speak English to the rice in the field every day." ”
Luo Xun decided to hold a training course.
posted small advertisements for the training class everywhere, and even used the method of pickling girls taught by Wang Yang to advertise the training class, he said that his youth was over, and he was buried here, David Tong laughed at him and was disgusting, but David Tong forgot that he had also said something similar, just when David Tong was abandoned by his American girlfriend-
It was a gloomy afternoon.
When Luo Xun helped Tong David cut off a long literary hair, he cried bitterly, Luo Xun thought that this cry was a farewell to an era, and an era full of poetic romance and idealism came to an abrupt end.
But Luo Xun did set up a training class.
He continued his teaching method in the last class on campus, telling his English class in the most interesting way, often mocking his love and life while teaching students, tearing open his own wounds, just to make students laugh.
Wang Yang said.
He's despicable.
He's also a chicken thief.
He must have been in pain.
Luo Xun didn't have the money to rent a venue, so he taught at KFC, ordering a chicken nugget every day to teach students a day, and in order to survive, he could only pretend not to see the white eyes of the KFC waiter.
That's it.
His classes are becoming more and more popular, his students are increasing, he has become a teacher who is widely recognized by students, no one will sleep in his class anymore, his class is always filled with endless laughter and the decibel of reciting English aloud, and he also pulled Wang Yang into the training class, because Wang ** has advantages that others do not have-
Standard American pronunciation.
Wang Yang talked about the fact that his American girlfriend has become his huge advantage, and he uses Hollywood film teaching methods to teach students English, which is still very novel in China, and has also been warmly welcomed, and the training class is finally too big to sit in a small KFC store.
Luo Xun continued to be a chicken thief.
He took advantage of the loophole and found an abandoned factory to teach the students, this process was shown in the form of montage, there are pictures of students wearing raincoats to class, there are pictures of everyone laughing, there are pictures of Luo Xun Wang Yang taking the reward and throwing money, hoarse in KTV, of course, there is also a picture of Su Mei breaking up with Cheng Dongqing on the phone-
Their youth is over.
Their time began.
The most powerful proof of this is that special English class, in the middle of the night, the abandoned factory suddenly had a power outage, and the students in the dark lit up their flashlights, and some dazzling lights made Luo Xun be charged.
Luo Xun smiled and said:
It's the first time I've been so dazzling.
Film critic Zhou Yang looked at this scene, and his heart was instantly hit, Luo Xun went from dodging to adapting to these flashlights, and it seemed that he suddenly hit the softness of people's hearts, and what Zhou Yang evaluated at this moment was by no means focused on simple acting skills.
That's emotional resonance.
He forgot that Luo Xun's role was Cheng Dongqing, and he also forgot that Cheng Dongqing's face was Luo Xun, they had long been one in Zhou Yang's heart, and even he forgot that he was watching a movie, more like entering the movie, entering that highly infectious class.
It's not just Zhou Yang.
Several other film critics around him almost forgot the movements in their hands, and they all entered the plot, not to mention the audience, who had rich feelings and had already red eyes.
The other side.
Unlike Cheng Dongqing's rising career, Meng Xiaojun's American dream is gradually shattering, he saw his once excellent predecessors being swept away from the laboratory, and soon experienced the unfair treatment he received as a Chinese, he found that his job opportunities could be easily taken away by the locals, he was forced to go to the restaurant to wash the dishes, only to find that even the old waiter in the restaurant was mean to him......
The American dream is shattering.
He remembered the class of the unknown teacher at the beginning, the group fight that broke out because of the conflict of ideas, the high spirits on the day he got his visa, and the complicated tone he said to his best brothers:
I'm not coming back.
Some people say that the collapse of adults is often in an instant, but for Meng Xiaojun, his moment is not actually reduced to serving dishes in an American restaurant, at least his dream is not dead, he does not bend over, as if he is still the pretentious and proud teenager.
But one night.
When he saw that his childhood sweetheart Liang Qin had deceived himself, in fact, he did not rely on piano tutoring to make money, but secretly worked as a textile worker to support his family, which caused his hands to become rougher, and his American dream was finally shattered.
He decided to return home.
Of course, it was Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang who greeted him, he didn't tell the two brothers that he was forced to return to China because he couldn't get along in the United States, what a proud person he was, how could he easily admit his failure, but when he saw that Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang had been thriving in China, he still had an indescribable emotion.
"I'll be waiting for you. ”
Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang invited Meng Xiaojun to join, they officially founded the New Dream School, since then Meng Xiaojun has become the ideological guide of the New Dream, people who have been to the United States have a very long-term vision, the new dream project is basically proposed and promoted by Meng Xiaojun, his talent finally has a real place, he is not a loser in the United States after all, the three of them play their respective roles, just like the legendary troika is indispensable to each other, but the relationship between the three people has quietly changed.
College years.
Cheng Dongqing said that he has been mixed with Wang Yang and Meng Xiaojun since then, and he even said in front of his students that the person he admires the most is Meng Xiaojun, but after returning to China, he established a new dream, but Meng Xiaojun said to him: "Cheng Dongqing, starting today, I will mix with you." ”
Unconsciously.
Luo Xun became the leader.
The quiet change in this relationship did not affect the thriving career of the three of them after the partnership, New Oriental has become one of the most dazzling enterprises in the country, and the top domestic newspapers evaluated Cheng Dongqing as the "godfather of studying abroad", at this time Meng Xiaojun proposed:
The company's IPO plan.
Although Cheng Dongqing is already the core of the three, it has to be said that Meng Xiaojun's role in the new dream is irreplaceable, and the company's rapid development depends on Meng Xiaojun's single-handedly promoted, Cheng Dongqing only needs to nod, so Cheng Dongqing will always say "yes" to Meng Xiaojun's proposal: "Yes." ”
But this time.
He said, "No." ”
The company is developing too fast, Cheng Dongqing doesn't want to go public, which has a huge disagreement with Meng Xiaojun about the future development of the company, and Wang Yang has become the person sandwiched between the two, and the two sides are trying to ease the conflict, which is also the reason why Meng Xiaojun and Cheng Dongqing are not in harmony at the beginning of the movie-
Career development differences.
In '99, this disagreement about whether the company should be listed even developed to the point where the two attacked each other in front of everyone at the company's internal meeting, arguing and scolding, and everyone thought that Meng Xiaojun might be leaving.
Leave the new dream.
It was also this year that the United States smashed the embassy in China, and a huge public opinion controversy broke out in the country, and English learning like New Dream became the target of public criticism, Cheng Dongqing was scolded as a traitor, and the people said that he was a lackey of the Americans, and he walked out and was smashed with blood on his face, but he did not bow his head, did not admit his mistakes, and did not dodge, in the face of thousands of people, he argued: "If the Americans smash the embassy, you will come to smash the English school, if the aliens bomb the earth, are you going to bomb the air station!" What's the difference between you and thirty years ago, when the Chinese beat the Chinese people, they will only be cowards! Go and learn from the person who beat you, and know that you are stronger than him......
Pathetic music.
A mighty roar.
The indignation of the crowd.
Looking at this scene through the window, Meng Xiaojun finally understood what Cheng Dongqing's greatest significance to his new dream was, he said: "He can always rush out at the first time, which I can't do." ”
He didn't go.
I did it for another four years.
But in these four years, the contradiction has not been eliminated, and the conflict between the two broke out again four years later, and on Wang Yang's wedding, the three officially parted ways, as Wang Yang said at the wedding: "Don't partner with your best friend to start a company." ”
The troika, gone.
Cheng Holly became a person.
Luo Xun drank red wine, the temperament of the turtle on his body has disappeared after several years of success, he has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant with gold-rimmed glasses, he is the godfather of studying abroad, he is the helmsman of new dreams, and he has obtained the success that he once longed for the most-
His face was expressionless.
This music is very melancholy, the listener's heart is sour, Zhang Suining next to Luo Xun quietly clenched Luo Xun's hand, as if to comfort him, every time she watches Luo Xun's movie, she will have similar empathy.
Xia Yu bit her lip.
Like many people around, this is an audience who is instinctively worried about such a plot, but this just shows that everyone has already been infected by the emotions conveyed by the movie at this time.
Finally, a new crisis came.
It is the explanation of the opening scene of the movie, the new dream was sued by the United States for infringement, Cheng Dongqing has to face the crisis alone this time, he took his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Wang Yang, but his fingers groped on the keyboard for a long time, and finally put it down.
The partner is no longer there.
In the office without lights, he was watching the news in front of the computer, the faint light illuminated his face a little pale, he suddenly felt so tired, closed his eyes and lay weakly on the leather seat.
A whistle sounded.
Luo Xun opened his eyes and found that Wang Yang was wearing a leather coat, and said, "Haven't you ever been to the United States?" ”
Luo Xun opened his mouth.
At this time, Wang Yang staggered his body, and there was a figure at the door, and there was no need for the camera to make any explanations, the audience already understood-
He is Meng Xiaojun.
The three of them finally reunited, although the contradictions are still there, but at least the difficulties have to be faced together, so the camera is connected to the scene at the beginning.
Confrontation.
The three of them confronted the American prosecutors, and in this process, because of Meng Xiaojun and Cheng Dongqing's several quick answers, the relationship between the three was exposed to the Americans.
The three of them had a meal together.
This meal was eaten at the restaurant where Meng Xiaojun served the plates, and it was here that Meng Xiaojun really confessed himself and said all the failures he had experienced in the United States, just like what Cheng Dongqing used to do-
Tear open your own wounds.
He said that he was defeated by the American dream, he said that he had a phobia of speech, he said that he completely lost his self-confidence, he said that when he was successful in his career, he wanted to go back to the United States to prove himself, but found that people still didn't take him seriously, and he had to be checked repeatedly for half an hour after passing a security check, he said that he wanted to go public for his own selfishness, and he said that after the company was listed in New York, he really proved himself.
He said, I'm sorry.
But Luo Xun just wiped his mouth elegantly and said lightly: "Xiaojun, Wang Yang, after eating, let's go and capture the United States." ”
This moment.
The audience fell.
Luo Xun's lines this time were obviously not forceful, just an understatement, but it was like a bullet, penetrating everything!
Back to the hearing.
This time, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang cooperated tacitly, each quoted the classics, and argued with the whistleblower, and the situation tilted towards the new dream little by little, and finally became holly's final word-
He pulled out a bill in English.
He told the hearing party that he had memorized the entire content of the book by random spot check, and no one believed his words, but everyone was shocked when any random spot check Luo Xun could recite it backwards.
The scene fell silent.
Luo Xun smiled and said: "This is a skill that I mastered at the age of 18, and in Huaxia, my qualification can only be regarded as ordinary, please don't doubt how good our students are at exams - you can't imagine what they are willing to go through in order to succeed - you don't understand our culture." ”
There was a pause.
Luo Xun continued: "I've been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to get the new dream public, and just now I made the decision that we're going to officially launch the listing opportunity today, thank you, Mr. Bob, for attracting the attention of potential Wall Street investors, who will see us as partners of integrity and courage, and who will see us taking responsibility for our mistakes. The more compensation we give you, the higher the valuation will be in the future. One day, when we will no longer be three teaching craftsmen, but will work with you on behalf of the world's largest educational service, I believe you will learn how to be respectful. ”
"Of course. ”
Luo Xun looked at Meng Xiaojun: "There is one more important reason, I have a friend, he is better than me, I am not as good as him, he is far more deserving of success than me, he came to the United States, I have seen with my own eyes that the best swimmers of our generation have sunk in the United States, sir, this is never a fair battlefield, I want to use my way to win back his dignity." ”
He's a turtle.
He was afraid of risk.
But this did not hinder his courage to make decisions, his determination to bravely face the enemy for the sake of his friends, so they won.
Someone cried.
Luo Xun speaks fluent English, plus demon-level recitation ability, as well as the negotiation skills he showed at the end, and his determination to win dignity for his friends-
That moment!
Cheng Dongqing's appearance coincides with the appearance of countless people's classmates, friends, and relatives, the way they recite English dictionaries with difficulty in the dark with flashlights, the way they hide in the corner of the canteen and choke on two-cent steamed buns, and the way they work three jobs at the same time, still pinching their arms and forcing themselves to do mock test questions in the middle of the night, solidified into the same high-spirited attitude, which made the audience in the theater burst into tears!
What is the American dream?
This is a dream that belongs to China.
Americans won't understand, which Chinese student era didn't come over like this, Meng Xiaojun is only a minority, Cheng Dongqing is the majority, you and I in this world are turtles, we used to be embarrassed, we used to have nothing, we used to be full of tears......
The future may be elusive......
But we also have the right to embrace the future.
