Chapter 266

~15 min read 2,975 words

The premiere of *How Long Will I Love U* will not repeat the previous scene... where the girls gathered together and the two beauties of Xinjing started fighting directly.

Unlike when Wu Jing needed Bai Liang to find people to support the scene, Xu Zheng doesn't need this, and he doesn't want to see the movie premiere turn into a Shura field.

Because the subject matter is different.

*How Long Will I Love U* is a romance film, and its selling point is different from *Wolf Warrior 2*.

The interaction between Bai Liang and Jing Tian in *Back to Field* before, and the CP combination of "Liangchen Meijing," have gradually entered the sight of many people.

Many netizens commented: "It has that feeling of Nazha back then~"

In terms of being cute and brainless, Jing Tian and Nazha are really on the same track.

If a bunch of Bai Liang's good sisters and little sisters rushed over to the premiere and stole the attention... that wouldn't be called supporting the scene.

That would be called smashing the scene!

It's simply like setting up two tables at a wedding specifically to invite ex-girlfriends.

It would definitely be more trouble than it's worth.

Of course, the CP of Bai Liang and Jing Tian is actually not hyped up particularly hard, its presence is not very strong, and apart from being on the show, the two sides haven't had any ambiguous interactions.

Mainly because they don't want to trigger a fan circle war.

It's already lively enough on the internet now; if Reba and Nazha's fans get involved, and the male and female top-tier idols start a super chaotic battle, whether the movie will be affected or can withstand it is unknown, but Weibo probably won't be able to withstand it~

So for this premiere, only some of Bai Liang's male friends who had nothing to do came to support him.

For example, Huang Jingyu, who completely stood up thanks to *Operation Red Sea*; this guy walked with wind when he came.

One movie almost caused a earth-shaking change in his "persona" in the industry.

In the past, whenever people mentioned him, it was male-male CP, and the fan base was mainly fujoshi.

But now he has turned over and embarked on the route of a tough military guy.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably start "serving in the military" in the entertainment industry, playing various soldier brothers, firefighters, and police officers.

"Eh? No fun to watch from the women's army today?" Huang Jingyu smacked his lips, looking a bit disappointed.

However, the next second his expression froze on his face because Wang Yanlin, this guy, reported him without hesitation.

"Great Immortal, this guy is gossiping about you; he wants to see you make a fool of yourself..."

"Holy crap?" Huang Jingyu was stunned, "Not a brother?"

Wang Yanlin chuckled, but was collectively "reported" by these birdmen, and during a later gathering, he enjoyed a wave of Bai Liang's "massage service," letting him experience the feeling of Huang Jingyu being rubbed on the ground back then.

"Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Bai Liang didn't pay attention to these two guys; anyway, there are plenty of opportunities to deal with them later.

However, the next second, he froze because he saw Ni Ni smiling at him.

"Eh?"

"Ni Ni?"

Bai Liang simply closed his eyes for a second, and then opened them again—it really was damn Ni Ni!

"How could she be here?!"

Jing Boran didn't even come today... because the other party is also holding a premiere "next door."

That's right, poor Jing-bao bumped into Bai Liang head-on again, and this time the collision was even worse; both are romance movies, called *Us and Them*.

It was filmed in collaboration with Zhou Dongyu.

This one can actually be said to be the biggest rival of *How Long Will I Love U* in the same period; the other party's lineup cannot be underestimated, and there is also a nostalgia bonus.

However, because the "head-on" posture between Li Yifeng and Bai Liang was louder, Jing Boran didn't even get the name of a "rival" this time.

After all, he has long been Bai Liang's "defeated general."

Just like in martial arts novels, you don't even need to look at people who have been defeated.

Of course, this doesn't matter; Bai Liang and Jing Boran even helped each other promote, both are brothers.

But the problem of Ni Ni appearing here is a bit big!

She didn't go to support her boyfriend's movie, but ran to the "rival's" premiere instead?

Is this reasonable?

"What's with that expression? Why, not welcome?"

Ni Ni flicked her hair, her tone sounding a bit dissatisfied.

However, from the corners of her mouth that were turned up, it could be judged that it was purely to scare people.

"Very welcome, but didn't you go to the premiere of *Us and Them*?"

Hearing this, Ni Ni's expression suddenly stiffened, she reached out to pull her clothes, and then touched her ears...

After eight hundred little movements, she lowered her voice: "I'll tell you secretly, don't tell anyone... I just broke up with him, and it will be officially announced in a while."

Bai Liang: "???"

Actually, he didn't need to know so clearly...

No, it shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?

Last time he didn't travel to Tokyo with Ni Ni; instead, he took Zhang Tianai to a host club—that young lady was actually quite nice, and she hasn't contacted Bai Liang until now.

However, Ni Ni coming uninvited like this really made Bai Liang feel inexplicably sorry for Jing Boran...

"One cannot, at least one should not..."

Both are good brothers; how could Bai Liang have the heart to let the other party fail in both career and love?

But Ni Ni is already here, so he can't just drive her away~

He could almost hear Li Yitong complaining in his ear again: "Male fox! Male succubus!"

"What a sin!"

And Ni Ni didn't know if she told Bai Liang this on purpose; after saying it, she smiled at Bai Liang, didn't disturb him too much, and let the staff take her to find a place to sit down.

After sitting down, she rested her chin on her hand, watching Jing Tian, who arrived a little late, following Bai Liang around everywhere.

Her eyes were thoughtful, as if she was brewing something.

Before the movie was officially screened, Bai Liang also went on stage with Jing Tian to sing the movie's theme song.

The song is called *Don't Forget Me*.

Neither of them has great singing skills, but they win by being sincere.

Bai Liang uses acting skills to make up for his singing, and Jing Tian is purely improvising; she actually quite likes this song.

Specifically, what does she like?

She said she likes the song title.

Girls, after all, can always empathize in many places; this sensibility is their innate advantage.

So even though the two sang just so-so, they still won thunderous applause.

Watching a romance movie, that's the feeling you want.

As the lights went out, the curtain opened—

"I met you from 2018 in 1999, and we fell in love. So when I from 2018 came to you with everything you needed, would you be willing?"

*How Long Will I Love U* is essentially just a love story of one room and two people.

Letting two people who could never meet come together, and even fall in love, is in itself a very wonderful thing.

The male lead Lu Ming and the female lead Gu Xiaojiao live in 1999 and 2018 respectively, and they live in the same room at these two different points in time.

Opening the left door is 1999; Lu Ming uses a Nokia, eats street food, and listens to Teresa Teng on cassette tapes.

Looking around, the children on the street play with Little Tyrant game consoles, and *My Fair Princess* is playing on TV.

Opening the right door is 2018; Gu Xiaojiao uses a robot vacuum to clean the small broken house, the Bluetooth speaker can play music and glow, and with two presses on the phone, hot pot can be delivered to the door.

The sense of age and era in the two time-spaces makes people feel intimate and familiar under the cross-editing, truly presenting the past and the future.

Love is an encounter full of variables; it comes fast and goes fast, that is reality.

The overlap of time is like a beautiful dream; after waking up, everything is the same. People living in the city probably like to dream the most, messy and colorful dreams, and waking up, they have to face the same mess as yesterday.

Gu Xiaojiao is also such a person.

Her happy and affluent family fell apart on the day her father died in a car accident. For the next twenty years, she had to run around every day for an ordinary life; the purpose of blind dates was to let the other party buy back her childhood home.

She is essentially extremely lacking in love, especially after having had the happiness of a family, and then suddenly losing everything overnight, people often become unusually sensitive and afraid of all kindness.

So Gu Xiaojiao is snobbish and money-worshipping, but whether it was her dragging Lu Ming from '99 to borrow a suit to attend an old classmate's trap banquet, or her completely different attitude towards Lu Shiyi at the beginning, it all had a bitter taste.

Lu Ming almost represents the young people who have just stepped into society and are at a loss; he has talent, doesn't accept the various rules of society, and carries a bit of expectation for the future and a blind, cute silliness.

He has no story, so he won't be like the 31-year-old Gu Xiaojiao in 2018, who hesitates in the face of feelings because of the fear of loss.

He is bright, stubborn, and the most touching.

When Lu Ming from 2018, that is, Lu Shiyi, appeared as a real estate tycoon, the contradictory choice belonging to the male lead in the movie also appeared:

If you knew that your future self would be successful, would you still be willing to make a different decision?

(Content repeated in source)

If this kind of decision happened in reality, probably 99% of people would choose to be successful.

The remaining little bit, if nothing unexpected happens, is a "love brain."

But the male lead in a romance movie, he is of course a "love brain."

Laughter, tears, moving... and the CP feeling that is about to overflow the screen.

On the scene, film critics and professionals were quietly paying attention to the reactions of those ordinary audiences, and at the same time had to sigh: "Damn, this guy Bai Liang is really a congenital CP holy body! How does he manage to be so compatible with everyone?"

As for acting skills, the poor boy from 1999 and the real estate tycoon from 2018—Bai Liang can make people easily distinguish these two completely different characters with just one expression.

Similarly, having online acting skills is fulfilling the duty of an actor, and "cute" is the biggest feeling for many people on the scene.

It's not earth-shattering enough to make you shed tears, nor is it hard-selling laughter to make you burst into laughter, but it is between the two, with both tear points and laughter points, just right without being over-exerted; it's called "cute," pleasant to watch, and makes people comfortable.

Many domestic films use the most common way to create conflict: absolutely not giving the characters IQ, letting them make trouble, and after making trouble, pretending to be a cosmic-level white lotus to make the audience shed tears.

This movie can be considered to have abandoned the silly, sweet, and pseudo-innocent domestic romance films of the past, and performed the way "adults with normal IQ" should look.

And compared to the various angle analyses of the movie by professionals, the feelings of ordinary audiences are very straightforward.

It is that they truly felt the love flowing from the corners of the actors' eyes.

As if the two looked at each other and smiled, it made people feel that their eyes were full of stars; the dark cinema instantly turned into a sea of stars, and even those who were stubborn about being single wanted to find someone's hand to hold at this moment.

No wonder there is a sentence in the movie's promotional material:

"If you have someone you like, take them to see this movie together; the chance of a successful confession will be at least half higher."

A very shameless promotional slogan, because the film party enjoys the right of final interpretation.

If it didn't succeed~

Then it must be that the other party was too deep into the play and fell in love with Bai Liang or Jing Tian.

——

After the screen went black, the lights came on.

Some more emotional female audience members, after laughing and crying, hadn't managed their expressions on their faces yet~

But there is no doubt that they would never be stingy with their applause.

However, as the big screen lit up again, the applause turned into screams and booing.

Because what was playing at this time was the behind-the-scenes footage, that's right, it was Jing Tian sticking out her tongue...

Don't say, the big screen is different; the little tongue is pink and tender, and it can be seen clearly.

Ni Ni: "Tsk tsk, the kiss really felt like something."

However, she felt that if she were the one doing it, it should feel even more!

She couldn't help but lick her lips.

At this time, the host on the scene greeted the movie creators to go on stage; Jing Tian had a feeling of public execution, biting the bullet and following behind Bai Liang, as if she were his little tail.

After all, so many people watched her stick out her tongue...

As a result, because of her actions, she was teased by the host on the scene again.

Today's theme is to tease these two.

There is a feeling of not stopping until Jing Tian is teased into a crack in the ground.

Ni Ni: "I gave you a chance and you didn't use it! What would happen if you kissed him on the spot? The topic would be full!"

She had just heard the professionals behind her talking about the box office of this movie.

Ni Ni didn't hear anything else, just heard one sentence: "It will definitely exceed one billion! I estimate *Us and Them* won't be able to beat this one."

"Holy crap! He can really even carry Jing Tian?!"

Ni Ni took a deep breath; this is just the premiere, and we still have to see the specific box office performance later.

If Bai Liang is really that fierce...

Obviously, crossing the river by touching Jing Tian is a quite good choice for Ni Ni.

No way, Ni Ni's current situation is actually no better than Jing Tian's.

Born as a "Mou Girl," her starting point was not high.

As a result, in the most critical years of her career development, she went to fall in love and showed off her affection for three years.

Three years later, another two years, anyway, just talk!

Outside of romance, Ni Ni's positioning has always been erratic, without opinions, unclear planning, more like a chaser of trends.

Whatever is popular in the circle, she and her team will run to do it.

After Fan Bingbing became popular on the red carpet abroad, often took airport photos, engaged in "stunning others," and was popular in the fashion and endorsement circles, Ni Ni frantically took airport runway photos, engaged in "stunning others," and shot fashion magazines; she shot 30 fashion magazines in one year before.

Known as a movie star, as a result, what she made people remember were fashion photos that stunned everyone, and looking at the few movie works, the vast majority of ratings were failing.

And in the past two years, it is even more like Jing Tian, filming TV series.

As a result, the big heroine drama *The Rise of Phoenixes* that was originally agreed upon was forcibly changed into a male lead drama—who let Chen Kun have a higher status.

Now it's really similar to Jing Tian, after all, *Ming Dynasty* was also changed from a heroine drama to a male lead drama.

But one was forced, and one was voluntarily willing, obviously different.

However, this doesn't affect Ni Ni wanting to feel... Jing Tian's happiness.

After experiencing the shyness of sticking out her tongue, this young lady, facing the praise of the audience and media on the scene, had her little face smiling so much it was about to lift up.

It's a brand new version that she has never felt before!

Actually, so many people like her performance... and they are not hired hands.

She couldn't help but look up at Bai Liang, only to find that this guy was habitually in a daze again...

"Damn it!"

What day is it today, why is it still the same as before?

Just like on the wedding night, the groom doesn't hurry to do the real thing, but instead is greedy for wine...

So she gently touched Bai Liang's calf, then slightly pouted and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about what to eat for a midnight snack," Bai Liang said very honestly.

"I want to eat too..."

"Okay~ let's go eat together."

"You order takeout later and bring it to my room."

At this, Bai Liang immediately stopped being in a daze, his eyes instantly cleared up.

"Where?!"
