That morning, Yi Feiyang led the crew into this familiar and unfamiliar black neighborhood.

Far away, I saw the black father and a large group of people waiting anxiously not far ahead.

Yi Feiyang didn't dare to hold it up, so he immediately got out of the car, stepped forward and took the initiative to greet the black dad and his group: "Hey, are you okay?" ”

As soon as they heard Yi Feiyang say this, everyone was inexplicably excited, look, dear Yi hasn't forgotten us, yes, he hasn't forgotten us.

"Tom, you seem to have gained a lot of weight, hehe, you used to be a skinny monkey!"

"Jim, what's wrong with the scars on your face? Have you been bullied by your wife again? ”

"Ha, little Peter, you've grown a lot taller, you're about to catch up with me!"

……

When Yi Feiyang saw someone, he directly called them by name and talked to them cordially.

The people who were originally excited became moved by this time.

Tom, Jim and the others surrounded Yi Feiyang, their eyes were almost moist, "Yi, you're back, you're finally back!" Hehe, you haven't forgotten us poor people! ”

"You are my friends, how can I forget you?" Yi Feiyang also said with some emotion.

"We know that you are righteous! That bastard said you forgot about us, and you wouldn't even look at us! ”

The black man who was called "Potato" was embarrassed to touch his head, "I'm guessing too!" Can't I apologize?! ”

"Dao Lu apologizes, he has to let him have a treat!"

"Yes, or tell his mother-in-law about it. Let his mother-in-law clean him up! His mother-in-law is a loyal fan of Yi! ”

"Hahaha!" There was a loud laugh from the crowd.

……

This way. The black dad saw that Yi Feiyang was surrounded by big guys, and he couldn't even walk. I had to stand out and line up and say, "Okay, don't make trouble, dear Yi still needs to prepare for the premiere immediately!" ”

"Alright, let's help him!" I don't know who shouted.

"yes, I have the strength!"

"I'm a plumber!"

"I can hand out flyers!"

……

The big guys suddenly became lively, and they all rushed to help Yi Feiyang's premiere.

Yi Feiyang smiled, he didn't expect him to be so loved by everyone, "It's so good." Let's get to work! He roared happily.

……

There is a lot of power.

In a short period of time, Yi Feiyang has prepared everything perfectly, the only fly in the ointment is that there are not many media reporters, and there are a few sparse after the door of the cinema where the premiere is made. Needless to say, most reporters were drawn to Colombia's grand premiere.

I heard that Colombia even gave red envelopes to those reporters who supported the premiere in order to extinguish Yi Feiyang's premiere momentum......

It is conceivable that there is exciting news and rich red envelopes to take, as long as you are not a fool. Those reporters know how to choose.

"Damn bastard, this is going to kill us all!" Yi Feiyang around. The fat man Gao Jiabao said angrily.

Even Dures, who has always disliked foul language, couldn't help but say, "Oh! Colombia's trick is too poisonous! ”

Looking at the surroundings of the deserted red carpet, looking at the media reporters who were reluctant to interview a few people casually and ran to Colombia, Yi Feiyang rubbed his nose and said: "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let them be!" Then he added, "We just need to do our part." ”

……

Not far away, a white reporter yawned, looked at the deserted red carpet, and said, "God, why did the editor-in-chief send me here for an interview?" See, it's lifeless, it's neither grand nor exciting, and until now there isn't even a ghost! ”

"Patience, buddy!" An old reporter said, "Wait a minute, Will Smith, and former President Clinton will definitely appear!" ”

"So what? On the Colombian side, there is Denzel Washington, as well as the two major actors, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino! ”

"That being said, at least we didn't come in vain."

……

"Hey, man, which show do you think will be a big hit after this premiere?" Another small reporter asked the tall reporter next to him.

"Needless to say, just look at this premiere scene, the drama "Happiness" has lost in momentum, and the big seller must be "Boxer Ali"!"

"That's not necessarily, China Yike has a nickname called 'Miracle Maker', known as 'Miracle Yang' and 'Son of God'. Maybe he can turn things around! The little man was not convinced.

"Ha Luha, turn the tide? You really think of him as the Son of God! The tall reporter said disdainfully, "If he can really turn the tide, then I'll help you lick the soles clean, yes, man, I do what I say!" ”

……

Time passes slowly.

At about seven o'clock that night, there were finally people on the originally deserted red carpet, not many people, that is, the leading actors of the play "Happiness Knocks on the Door", Will Smith held his baby son Jaden, his wife Jada by his side, Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, and other actors of the play were all present.

The reporters who had been yawning for days finally lifted their spirits and began to take pictures of the stars on the red carpet.

When these people walked the red carpet, those reporters were still waiting a little unsatisfied, waiting for China Yi to come up with some gimmicks, miracles and the like, didn't he often do this before?!

However, it is strange that Yi Feiyang did not invite any relatives and friends to cheer this time, there was no Lionsgate's Gusta, there was no Paramount's Raymond, there was no real estate tycoon Trump, and hotel magnate Richard Hilton ......

Therefore, after Clinton and Will walked across the red carpet, Yi Feiyang directly ordered: "Put away the red carpet!" ”

So, in full view of everyone, the red carpet was put away, and those reporters who originally hoped for follow-up tidbits were completely dumbfounded.

They don't understand. In the end, China is easy to be confident. Or knowing that it is not Colombia's opponent. Just keep a low profile?!

The red carpet catwalk is gone? What is it, do you want an interview?!

Just when those reporters were confused, Yi Feiyang said to them with a smile: "Dear journalists, if you are interested, you can go to the cinema to see this drama I filmed, yes, all of you are welcome, please give me a lot of advice!" After saying this, Yi Feiyang led the team without looking back. Walked into the cinema.

Leaving those reporters who think they are uncles dumbfounded, hell, this is the end?! Don't keep us either!

In the eyes of these reporters, as Yi Feiyang, who fights in the ring with "Boxing King Ali", he should pay attention to these reporters who "come from afar", scarce is expensive, many reporters have gone to support "Boxing King Ali", and it is enough to give Yi Feiyang face by being here, you should hold it and carry it as the owner...... But I didn't expect it. People don't bird themselves at all!

Oh my God!

What a shame!

……

Yi Feiyang's disdain for these reporters made these reporters extremely curious. I couldn't help but walk into the cinema one by one, according to their meaning, "Drag what?" I want to see how wonderful your play is! ”

As soon as the reporters walked in, they were stopped, and they thought they were ticket checkers, but they handed over some tissues, "Here you guys, man, maybe you'll be able to use them later." ”

"What do you mean? Deliver tissues? Do you want to wipe your nose? One reporter laughed strangely.

"No, I think it's for us to wipe our tears, ha, this China Yi is really interesting enough, do you really think your movie can move people?"

"Don't say it, let's go in and have a look, maybe you don't need to wipe your tears and snot for a while, it's still useful to wipe your shoes!"

The reporters took the tissues, walked into the movie theater with a very contemptuous expression, and looked up, only to see that the entire movie theater was almost full.

But to the surprise of those reporters, almost all of them were black, and compared to the premieres of other films, the entire huge movie theater was silent.

Solemn!

Yes, that's what it feels like.

For the first time, the reporters felt that they were not watching a movie, but attending a special memorial service.

As the boss and director, Yi Feiyang didn't play anything new this time, according to the meaning of those reporters, "This time China Yi is very honest, honest makes people feel awkward, he didn't play any tricks, and announced the official start of the movie premiere." ”

On the big screen, as before, the factory logo of Dream Company appeared, but at a different time than before, after the mermaid jumped out of the water, the handwriting that surfaced was no longer "Dream Pictures Company", but "Dream Entertainment Company".

Entertainment contains many more projects and types than the film industry, which also makes people realize for the first time that today's dream company is no longer the small company that couldn't even afford to rent a movie theater before, and has become one of Hollywood's powerful new stars.

After the factory logo of Dream Entertainment Company was released, important information such as the opening subtitles of the movie, actors, and directors appeared.

As the letters fade away, a gray-white sky appears on the screen, followed by a monologue of the characters: "This part of my life is called 'Hop on the bus'......"

With the appearance of this sentence, on the big screen, the male protagonist played by Will Smith appeared, with gray sideburns, a tired expression, and a briefcase in his hand, while his five-year-old son followed him eating a sandwich, and the two of them walked through several streets.

Close-up, while crossing the street, Will crouches down and wraps his son in his arms, and his son Jaden hands him a sandwich to his lips, "Hey, Dad, you can take a bite too." ”

"I'm not hungry, I've already eaten." Will said this, but his stomach rumbled a few times in disobedience.

"Don't lie to me, your stomach is protesting." Little Jaden said with a smile.

"Then I'll take a bite, just one bite!" Will opened his mouth and took a large bite of the sandwich.

In just a few shots and a few dialogues, the strong father-son love is directly rendered on the big screen.

The camera cuts, and after Garnard played by Will drops his son off at school, he lifts his spirits and steps onto the crowded bus stop.

……

"God, just looking at the beginning, it makes people feel quite sad, yes, what a poor father and son!" A black aunt couldn't help but mutter.

"Anyway. It's a nice scene. It made me feel the sadness of a man. Another black man said silently in his heart.

……

The film continues to be screened.

"I said it. This stage of life is called 'Stupid Home'."

It's still a monologue, and then the story unfolds.

The story is simple. Garnard, the male protagonist played by Will, finds the hip-hop girl who helped him take care of the scanner during his interview and chases him back.

This sub-scene is mainly about some things that happened to the protagonist during the interview, and when he saw this scene, even some hard-hearted guys felt sad for this character in the play, he was so unlucky.

"This part of my life, this part of me now, is called exhaustion."

The shot switches again.

With this monologue, the story begins to continue again.

The plot gradually unfolds, and at this time, the audience has completely forgotten that the actor on the big screen is Will Smith, but really regards him as a living character - "Garnard".

Ganard doesn't read much. He worked as a salesman for medical supplies and also had to take care of his wife, but once he was chased by the police for a $1,200 parking fine, and because he could not pay back, he was sentenced to prison until he was released at 9 a.m. the next morning.

But the nightmare was not over, and when he was released from prison, he found that his wife and son had disappeared, and he was left with nothing.

Gardner found the child in the child's nursery and brought him home. In order to raise children, it is no longer possible to live in a single dormitory. So together with the children forced to live on the streets. Cheap hotels, parks, train station toilets, and office desks have all become shelters for father and son......

It can be said that this scene of about 23 minutes is the main part of the whole play. It is also an important part of reflecting the relationship between father and son.

Especially in the scene where the actor Garnard and his son are forced to live on the streets, Yi Feiyang interviewed a lot of people sleeping on the street in order to pursue real and significant effects during filming, so that the filming has a strong sense of reality.

Will and his son's performances have all been substituted into the roles, and the details of the father and son hugging for warmth, hugging and crying, and comforting each other in the play have reached the point of shocking.

Especially when the film was shown to the two sleeping in the toilet, Will's image with tears and red eyes appeared in front of the audience, and little Jaden lay in his arms, sleeping peacefully.

Looking at the movie screen, the entire movie theater was instantly filled with a tide of tears. Especially those women who are full of feelings, they were even more touched by the content of the camera, and they couldn't suppress the grief in their hearts one by one, and choked up.

As soon as the first person started crying, the person next to him was immediately infected, and the feeling of sadness began to spread throughout the cinema like a virus.

This kind of scene is very wonderful, just like when you read a very sad novel in the library, and then you can't help crying and crying, but you are afraid that it will affect the people around you, so you suppress it, cover your mouth and endure it, but the tears still can't stop flowing out, and the sad feeling is still flooding......

This is the situation at the moment, all the people who watch this play are all moved by the delicate and touching father-son relationship in the play.

The reporters who were about to shine their shoes with tissues were stunned, dumbfounded, they wanted to squeeze their eyebrows away and laugh at these naïve viewers, but one by one they showed a dry smile, and then they felt that something wanted to come out of the corners of their eyes......

Why is your heart so sour?

They ask themselves.

……

Yi Feiyang, who was sitting in the back row of the movie theater, silently watched this kind of scene, he didn't quite understand why it was so easy for a tragic film to become popular, like "Gone with the Wind", "Broken Blue Bridge", "Titanic", ...... Now I understand that people are emotional animals after all, as long as you can impress them with feelings, they will be like falling into a swamp, unable to extricate themselves!

As a director, if he can truly control the joys and sorrows of the audience, then he is a god! The god of directors! God of Cinema!

Because only God can manipulate the emotions of others.

Now, Yi Feiyang has this feeling, looking at the audience who can't help but cry silently, feeling the humid atmosphere of the entire movie theater, Yi Feiyang feels that he has manipulated everything, with movies, with pictures, with characters!

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, looking at the works he shot, and his heart was filled with irrepressible sadness, if he cried when he watched his own movie, then it must be very funny.

Come to think of it. Yi Feiyang got up. Get ready to go out on the balcony and relax.

……

It was late at night. The moonlight is like water, and Hollywood in mid-March is still a little cool, Yi Feiyang walked to the edge of the balcony, felt out a cigarette, and just lit the fire, but saw a person smoking sullenly.

If you look closely, it turned out to be Dures.

How did this guy get here? Yi Feiyang smiled and walked over. "Borrow a fire!"

Dures looked up at him and handed the cigarette butt over.

Yi Feiyang leaned on the cigarette butt to light the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then looked at Dures, who was quietly looking at the sky, and couldn't help asking, "Man, are you okay?" ”

Dures has always given people the impression of being steady and capable, which is like the current sentimentality, and the depth is a little unaccustomed.

"It's not too good," said Durres...... "and you've touched me too deeply in this play...... To be precise, reminds me of my daughter......"

Yi Feiyang was stunned. You must know that Dures has always only talked about work. never took the initiative to talk about family affairs, so much so that until now, Yi Feiyang didn't even know whether he was married or not, but he didn't expect that he even had a daughter.

"I'm sorry, but I really don't know what to say...... You have a daughter. Yi Feiyang handed the cigarette back.

"Her name is Arya." Dures took the cigarette, but took a hard puff, and said with some sadness: "Arya looks a lot like her mother, it always reminds me of those things, I feel that I owe her a lot, and I want to make up for it but I can't do it." God, if Arya can accept me, I can give up everything! ”

Yi Feiyang was silent, how could he have any opinions at this time? What's more, I don't know much about other people's family affairs.

After half a salary, Dures said slowly: "You don't understand how painful it feels when you lose everything and have a child that you need to take with you, and you can't even give her a place to live." ”

Halo, isn't that the plot in my movie? Could it be that Dures has also experienced it?! Yi Feiyang was even more curious, and the fire of gossip was burning.

From the time Dures said this, Yi Feiyang knew that he was about to start talking about it, which was for Dures, who has always cherished words like gold, but for the first time, thinking about it, Yi Feiyang also put his mind at ease and listened carefully to Dures's narration.

At this point, Dures seemed to open up the conversation, and continued: "My wife and I are married to a son, and little Arya is very beautiful and cute, but three years after we got married, I found out that my wife was having an affair with an Italian chef, and I immediately beat that guy, and then I was detained...... When I came back from the police station, I found that my wife had left her daughter and gone to Italy with the chef, and all the valuable things in the family had been taken. ”

"That moment was the lowest moment of my life, I felt like an inexplicable victim, yes, I was hurt, I started drinking, I started borrowing money from my family, I started ...... Decadent and depraved. ”

"At that time, I was very depressed every day, I was afraid that I would be crushed by that damn life all of a sudden, and I wondered if I would have the courage to face everything. Will I give up everything I have, including my life......"

Yi Feiyang put away his previous smile, then nodded slightly, and said seriously: "I don't have children, so I don't really understand what it's like, but I've also been desperate, don't look at the aura I have on my body now, but behind the halo, it is the accumulation of countless struggles and countless hard work." ”

When he first came to the United States, Yi Feiyang's state was very the same as the previous Dures, without any hope, and he had to face the pressure of not having a green card and being arrested by the police at any time.

It wasn't until today, when he looked back at the road he had walked, that Yi Feiyang was able to smile and tell Don't enter, those are actually nothing to be afraid of. The key is that the choice between giving up and persevering, Yi Feiyang, like Chris, chose to persevere.

"But I know that when facing these hardships, I can't give up, not for me, but for my daughter, who is still so young, and she hasn't even experienced many things in this world." Speaking of this, Dures's mood swings gradually expanded, his eyes slowly began to turn red, and he stomped the cigarette butt to the ground before he continued: "At that time, I often left my daughter at home, and I was often drunk in bars and pubs...... Every time I woke up, I saw little Arya standing beside me, touching my cheek with her soft little hand, and at that moment, I felt that I was still alive. Yes, I started to get excited, I wanted to be a good father, but it was over, then her damn mother actually came back from Italy to fight for custody of her daughter, I didn't have a job, my income was unstable, I didn't even have a place to live, you can imagine the outcome of the court sentence after the last ......"

"I lost my daughter and owed a lot of debt, in order to pay off the debt, I had to be forced to enter the TOP porn film company, and you probably know the rest of the story......"

Dures gently wiped his eyes, "Do you know what I'm working so hard for now?" The reason why I want to do this is because I want to forget the pain of the past, and on the other hand, I want to save enough capital to get my daughter back! Yes, I would do it no matter how much it costs! She was three years old when she left me, and now she's almost six years old, oh my God, I haven't given her a birthday in three years, I haven't heard her call me Daddy, and I don't know how tall she's grown now, how old she is, if I can, I'm willing to exchange everything I have for her love, and if she can say to me, 'Daddy, I love you,' I'll be satisfied!" ”

Seeing that Dures was constantly wiping away his tears, and a big man's family was crying, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but sympathize: "Okay, man, don't be sad anymore, I promise, you will see your daughter soon, yes, definitely!" ”

Dures nodded, choked up, and did not speak.

"Let's go, let's go in and see the scene together, this play should be almost over!" Yi Feiyang patted Dures on the shoulder.

Yes, it's almost time to test the results, whether this drama wins or loses, in one fell swoop! (To be continued......)
