Finally returned to his home in Houston, Yang Yiming won two consecutive victories with the Rockets, and he could finally take a break. On the night after the game against the Spurs, he and his girlfriend Meritis made an appointment to go to see the latest Marvel movie "Black Panther". Because he was worried that Yu Xiaochun would be bored by himself, after obtaining Meritis's consent, he also called the other party. Yu Xiaochun was afraid that she would become a light bulb for a young couple, so she called her common roommate Nina again, and it just so happened that she didn't watch this movie that was about to be released in the United States. As a result, two pairs of men and women formed a game and went to the mall in downtown Houston for a casual night together.

1/

The movie started at half past eight o'clock, and by the time the whole film was over, the first ending easter egg was finished, and it was close to half past ten.

This is the first time these four have acted collectively. A row of seats in the cinema, from left to right, are Yang Yiming, Meritis, Nina and Yu Xiaochun, who is closest to the exit of the theater. The two girls sat in the middle of the most positive position, and the two boys were like Dharma protectors, lined up on the left and right.

The first end credits of Black Panther tells the story of Black Panther himself, as the leader of the country of Wakanda, who speaks to the United Nations General Assembly about the opening of the world. The heads of state did not know the true strength of Wakanda at this time, and questioned each other one after another, and the camera swept back to the face of the Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman (played by the Black Panther) smiled slyly, and the screen went black and the subtitles rose from below.

Seeing that the easter eggs were finished, Nina was the first to get up and motioned for Yu Xiaochun on her right hand to leave, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Yu Xiaochun and said, "Wait, it is said that there is a second easter egg." ”

"And easter eggs?" Nina was stopped in her way, so she had to sit back in her chair with some reluctance, take off her 3D glasses and say, "The subtitles will be five minutes away, and this movie will be long." ”

"Don't you think this movie is good enough, Nina?" Meritis, who was sitting next to Nina, saw her expression and turned her face to look at Nina, who was rubbing her eyes, and asked.

Nina yawned and replied absentmindedly, "It's not unpretty." It's just a bit too slow, and there's nothing new about the plot. And the actors are all black, how do you look at it, how do you think it's a bit single, I thought there were other superheroes..."

"Hey!" Before Nina could finish speaking, Meritis grabbed her arm, leaned close to her face to watch behind her, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, so many African-Americans are still sitting behind us." And... I think this Black Panther is pretty good! Do you say, Yiming? ”

Yang Yiming listened intently to the conversation between the two, wondering how Meritis had used the most politically correct term for black people (African americans), completely unexpectedly being asked. Caught off guard, he sat up straight, and echoed his girlfriend with some hesitation: "Yes... I also think... It's exciting. ”

"yes. Anyway, it's very different from the previous superhero movies, new and interesting! Meritis, who was supported by her boyfriend, was even more excited, and took Yang Yiming's hand, as if she was trying to win over strong supporters for her camp.

"Interesting... Alas, you Americans just like to use such words of unknown meaning to praise people. Nina said-for-tat.

"yes. Fun is a valuable trait. ”

This scene is coming and going, and Yu Xiaochun, who is sitting on the side, just has a panoramic view. Seeing the two beauties pretending to be angry for the movie, he laughed secretly in his heart. In particular, Meritis wearing 3D glasses looks like an unconvinced child, arguing and approaching Nina's face - it may be that the glasses interfere with her judgment of distance - in short, in his eyes, the two of them blow their beards and stare at each other, pretending that neither is convinced, which is really "interesting, interesting". Helplessly, the lengthy subtitles suddenly ended, and the second easter egg began, and Yu Xiaochun had to remind them of the truce with great reluctance:

"I'll go out and make noise again in a while, let's look at the easter eggs first."

Meritis looked like a victorious general, with the corners of his mouth curled and a smile on his face; Nina didn't pay attention to her, she quietly put back her glasses, and the four of them looked at the easter eggs peacefully.

"So you say, this black panther, is it good-looking?" After the easter eggs were broadcast, the movie ended, and the four of them walked on the parking lot outside the theater. The evening breeze was coming, and Yu Xiaochun threw out this ultimate "philosophical proposition".

Nina shook her head stubbornly. Meritis, who waved Yang Yiming's hand, jumped in affirmation, but Yang Yiming didn't express his opinion, just smiled.

"Give it a score. Everyone has to play, 1-10 points. Yu Xiaochun was obviously dissatisfied with such a perfunctory and presided over the overall situation, "I'll say it first, I score 7 points: there is more than new ideas, but the content of the second easter egg is worth looking forward to." So, 7 points! ”

The second easter egg at the end of the film plays the younger sister of Black Panther, Su Rui, a technology madwoman, who visits the Winter Soldier who has just woken up. The Winter Soldier has apparently lost his memory of being controlled by the evil Hydra and has a crippled arm, but Su Rui says that he will take him to "see something". It seems that in "Avengers 3", which is scheduled for this summer, the Winter Soldier, who was originally a supporting role in the Captain America series, is likely to change to a vibranium-strengthened arm and form a partner with Black Panther...

"It's only 7 points!" There was no surprise in the dissatisfaction voice, and sure enough, it came from Meritis. She gave her rating: "I give it a 9.5. Black Panther is so good-looking, the Avengers need a different black superhero. ”

"Why was the 0.5 point deducted?"

"Keep up the good work, and I hope the Black Panther series will become more and more brilliant."

I didn't expect the Americans to have this kind of hypocritical routine.

Yu Xiaochun turned to Nina and asked her what score she wanted to score. Nina deliberately didn't answer, but turned to Yang Yiming and said, "I want to listen to Yiming first." Yiming, how many points do you give to the Panther? ”

Following being in the cinema just now, Yang Yiming was ruthlessly cued for the second time. He knew that this time he would definitely be out of luck, so he could only give his opinion honestly and in a dilemma:

“… I'm actually... If you want to score more than Koharu, I'll also score 7. ”

"Seven points?! One hit! Meritis screamed as if she felt betrayed by her lover.

Nina pursed her lips and snickered, looking like "I know".

"But... Yiming, why do you only score 7? Meritis raised her head, looking up at Yang Yiming with a pair of bright eyes and asking. Yang Yiming felt that he might be in trouble, but it was difficult to recover it, so he had to hug his aggrieved girlfriend and explain while comforting: "Actually, I don't think the Black Panther is not good-looking - maybe I haven't been in the cinema for too long and haven't watched superhero movies, so I'm a little uncomfortable." I have the impression that superheroes are all dramas that fight alone, have explosive abilities, and save the world, but this time the Black Panther doesn't seem to be this way... There are no high-tech superpowers, and the fight scenes are not cool enough, but they are like a drama. But as a feature film, Black Panther's setting is too old-fashioned, and the pace is slow..."

"Okay, well, what you said is not unreasonable, but..." Meritis bit her lip, but couldn't say anything more, so she had to spread her hands. This just allowed Nina to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "But what? But you can't say it's bad. So this is a politically correct film for you white people, obviously not so good, but you still have to clap your hands and applaud hard, because you don't want to be stigmatized as 'racist'. We Asians are different, we are a minority anyway, and the yellow people criticize the black people, at most they don't like each other. This is for us to do justice to you—"

"Nina, have you forgotten that you're half white yourself?" Yu Xiaochun interrupted her generous speech and reminded. Unexpectedly, Nina didn't care at all, and waved her hand: "I haven't forgotten, so I know what's going on on both sides." In this regard, I stand with our Asian brothers. She pointed her hands at Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun respectively, and the two of them quickly shook their heads for fear of getting into trouble, but it didn't work: "We Asians are full of critical spirit, if we don't like it, we will say it, if we shoot badly, we will frown if we shoot badly, we will post on the Internet if it is unpalatable, and we will be muttered in private if we look ugly." You Americans are different, if you don't look good, you call people 'interesting', and it's very annoying..."

"That Nina..."Meritis hid in Yang Yiming's arms, listening to these words like a frightened deer, and asked timidly, "Do you think I look... Interesting? ”

"How is that possible!" This question amused Nina too, she pulled Meritis out of Yang Yiming's arms and put her arms around her, "You are the most beautiful girl!" You are also 'due to lack of thought', lovely because of lack of thought, I am a big truth, never flattering people. But you're really good-looking! ”

"Well..."

"I don't believe you asked Yang Yiming, he must think so too..."

"Of course, you don't need to ask?! My dear, you are the most beautiful in the universe. Yang Yiming contributed a standard answer to coax his girlfriend without hesitation.

"Doesn't it mean that you Asians don't tell lies..."

"Haha, Yiming, your trick has been exposed!" Nina laughed, and it seemed that this discussion of the movie Black Panther would end in a friendly atmosphere between friends...

"By the way, I don't think I have scored it yet! Then I'll also score 7, although Meritis is the most beautiful, and it is very fun to watch movies together at night, but I can't stand it, I really fell asleep for 10 minutes halfway! ”

The moonlit parking lot and the neon-lit "CINEMA" background flickered and the four of them burst into laughter.
