Chapter Twenty-Four: The Big Fish
"Wear a mask. β
Zhou Xiaoli reminded Zhao Yingchrome with laughter.
As the most influential talent show in Qinzhou, the attention of "Blooming" is very high every year, and Zhao Yingchrome, the annual champion of this show, is still very well-known, and it is easy to be recognized by fans in the cinema -
Today is Tuesday.
The day of the release of the movie "Fish and Dragon Dance".
Zhou Xiaoli, who bought tickets in advance, came directly to the cinema with Zhao Yingchrome.
The investment in this movie is medium, and it is not a top big cast, but there are not a few audiences who like this genre, and there are many people sitting in the theater where Zhao Yingchrome is at this moment.
After taking a seat.
The movie started quickly.
Zhao Yingchrome and Zhou Xiaoli were eating popcorn while watching a movie, and they felt very decompressed.
The big screen lit up.
At the beginning of the plot, it tells the story of a little girl and her parents who strayed into a fantasy world through a magical tunnel when they were on a trip.
The world is both beautiful and dangerous.
Demons and monsters, magical visions, a strong sense of fantasy come to the face, and the colors are varied.
Come here.
The little girl's parents broke the rules of this world because of greed, and were arrested by an old woman who knew how to use demon laws, leaving the little girl to wander in this dangerous world.
She was in danger several times.
But when she is about to be eaten by a beautiful but deadly snake spirit, a powerful white dragon that can transform into human form saves her.
It's just that the little girl didn't expect it.
This white dragon is a subordinate of the demon pharaoh's woman.
At first, the little girl was afraid of the white dragon, and even resisted a little, because the old woman was the owner of the white dragon and took away her parents, but as the two got along, she was infected by the friendliness of the white dragon.
Gradual.
The two became good friends who talked about everything, and they went through many things together.
However, the little girl has always had something on her mind.
She never gave up saving her parents.
Sensing the little girl's desire, the white dragon made a difficult decision, he betrayed the old woman and helped the girl save her parents.
But.
The moment he rescued the girl's parents, he himself suffered an evil curse from the old woman.
Originally.
He was controlled by the old woman.
The white dragon can never betray its master, and once it betrays, it will curse and completely lose its dragon body and human form, and can only live in the deep sea for the rest of its life and can no longer go ashore-
He turned into a fish again.
Large, large fish.
Enduring the pain of the curse, he flew through the sky with near-miraculous power, guiding the girl with his huge body, escorting the girl along the way, taking the girl and her parents out of this dangerous place.
When you are about to reach the exit.
They passed by a sea.
The white dragon, who had become a big fish, could no longer hold on, and fell into the sea with a wail to say its final goodbye to the girl.
It's a magical sea with magical powers that can remind you of the past.
So, the movie tells the source of this story in flashback.
It turned out that when the little girl was young, she used to take the pocket money she had saved for half a month and was ready to buy her favorite snacks.
But as she passed by the sea, the young girl saw a fisherman selling a very beautiful fish, and she thought it was very pitiful, so she bought it with money, and released itβ
That fish is the white dragon.
Then there are the memories that belong to the White Dragon.
When he was once a fish, after countless efforts, he finally crossed the dragon gate and possessed the body of a white dragon and a powerful cultivation, as well as the human form he dreamed of.
He worked so hard because......
He wanted to find the little girl and repay her.
But he didn't expect that at the moment of turning into a dragon, he was caught by the evil mother-in-law and forced to become the old woman's pet.
The origin of the story was unexpected by the audience.
It turned out that this chance encounter turned out to be a reunion after a long absence.
But what really makes the audience no longer have uncontrollable tear ducts is a song that suddenly sounded with the memories of the sea: "The waves silently drown the night deeply, overflowing the corners of the sky, and the big fish swim through the gaps in the dream, gazing at your sleeping silhouette......"
Piano bursts.
The singing is curling.
The cinema became quiet.
Hearing the wave-like singing in his ears, the popcorn action sent to Zhao Yingchrome's mouth was frozen at this moment, as if he was hit by something in an instant, and he was stunned.
"I'm afraid you'll fly away
I'm afraid you'll leave me
I'm even more afraid that you'll stay here forever
Every tear
All flow to you
The bottom of the sea that flows backwards into the sky......"
The big fish and the girl reluctantly said goodbye, the song echoed the story, and the next moment, the almost beautiful harmony surrounded everyone's ears, as if from the mysterious world in the movie, how many people had numb scalps at this moment.
"Shhh β
Some viewers in the theater began to sobb softly, and Zhou Xiaoli on the right side of Zhao Yingchrome took out a tissue, but in a blink of an eye, half a pack had been used, and her eyes were red and swollen until she cried.
The cinema is getting quieter.
This song at the end of the movie, with this movie, is a blockbuster tear gas, and the harmony part of the song completely detonates this tear gas, and the entire theater is not spared.
Camaraderie?
Love?
The movie never clarifies this, but when the big fish returns to the sea, only the broad back is revealed in the sunset, and the girl is still desperately waving goodbye in the raging tears.
Far horizon.
Big fish dived to the bottom of the sea.
The end of the movie is also the end of the song, and the last lyrics with a trill, like a sharp dagger, completely pierced the hearts of countless audiences: "Every tear ...... All flow to you...... Rewind back to ...... The first encounter......"
......
When the end credits of the movie appeared, no one left the entire theater, and there were many discussions in a slightly sour atmosphere, but most of the discussions were in a thick, crying-like nasal voice:
"I held back tears for more than an hour, and in the end I lost to a song. β
"Every lyric is a knife, piercing me directly in the heart, and the last sentence, directly critting, I died. β
"I doubt I won't have the courage to rewatch the film unless the last song is cut. β
"Who wrote the song, the tears of labor and management don't need money!"
"I now suspect that the whole movie is the music video for the last song. β
β......β
There is also a woman with red eyes teasing the man next to her: "Husband, didn't you say that you never cry when you watch movies, didn't you say that you hate sensationalism the most, the so-called sensationalism is the director's professional skill to deceive the audience's tears, why do you cry like this bear?"
"I really didn't cry when I watched the movie...... Until I heard the song. β
This is a man's last stubbornness.
"The paper is running out, do you still have it?" Zhou Xiaoli rubbed her nose and stabbed Zhao Yingchrome's arm with her arm.
Zhao Yingchrome ignored it, her reddened eyes staring at the credits at the end of the movie.
"What are you watching? The movie is over. β
No tissues were found, so Zhou Xiaoli could only wipe her tears with her sleeve.
Zhao Yingchrome still didn't respond until she saw the final subtitles of the movie, which was the information she had been looking for since the end of the movie-
[Interlude/Impression/Soundtrack/Ending Song: "Big Fish"]
[Singing: Jiang Kui]
[Composer: Teacher Xianyu]
[Special thanks to: Mr. Xianyu]
"Big Fish ......" she muttered these two words, and then, as if she remembered something, a flash of excitement suddenly appeared on her face:
"Envy fish, envy fish!"
Zhou Xiaoli, who had just finished crying, asked strangely in a thick nasal voice: "What kind of envy fish? Why are you chattering?"
"Envy the fish!"
Zhao Yingchrome's voice trembled a little: "This soundtrack of the movie was written by Xianyu, was the song sent by Xingmang today written by Xianyu?"
Zhou Xiaoli woke up like a dream: "It seems to be ......"
Zhao Yingchrome got up suddenly: "Let's go back and listen to the song!"
