Chapter 929

~6 min read 1,007 words

It is another new week's night.

When the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen ticks past 20:00:00, countless 2D fans click on the latest episode of "Tiga," titled "Hello, Ultraman."

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a monster charges out from the city's underground, wreaking havoc amidst the screams of countless citizens.

It's a classic opening shocker.

Below, the duo of Daigo and Rena are in charge of directing the evacuation.

Just like before, after sending Rena away, Daigo takes out his Spark Lens, preparing to transform.

Yet, at the very last critical moment, he notices a man standing beneath a nearby skyscraper, quietly watching the monster with an expressionless face.

"Holy crap, isn't that Zhang Yi?"

Although people have already become numb to the fact that Xu Feng always finds big-name actors to guest star in "Tiga."

But upon seeing Zhang Yi, many still couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

After all, this guy is currently considered a representative actor of the domestic acting school.

Moreover, the popularity of his role as the protagonist An Xin in "The Knockout" hasn't completely faded yet.

It's just that no one knows why the movies he acts in always have to include those two "crouching tigers, hidden dragons," Chen Kaige and Xi Zi.

It makes many viewers suspect whether this guy has some dirt held by those two pieces of rat droppings.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why aren't you running away?"

Seeing this, Daigo can only stop his transformation, rush to the man's side, and question him.

However, Zhang Yi's expression remains indifferent, and he answers the question by telling Daigo that there is still a girl in this building who hasn't escaped.

Daigo is shocked upon hearing this and rushes into the building without hesitation. Just as he is about to enter, he turns his head back to remind the man, wanting him to hurry and evacuate.

But when Daigo turns his head, the man has already vanished without a trace.

This opening alone is enough to whet the audience's appetite.

What exactly is the identity of this mysterious person played by Zhang Yi?

Is he a life form from another planet, like Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong in the previous "Battle of Red and Blue" or Saki, played by Xu Jiao in "The Girl Who Waits for Monsters"?

And more importantly, is he a friend or a foe?

After ensuring the safety of the woman in the building, Daigo officially transforms into Tiga.

However, this time, he rarely lets the opponent escape.

Helpless, Daigo can only de-transform, first rendezvous with Rena, and send the injured woman to the hospital.

And everything that happened from start to finish was quietly observed by the mysterious man played by Zhang Yi.

It must be said that Zhang Yi is worthy of being a top-tier acting talent in the domestic entertainment industry.

When looking at Daigo, the complexity, jealousy, and a trace of envy revealed in his eyes were all perfectly displayed.

On the set of "Slam Dunk," Hu Ge felt a bit ashamed when watching this episode.

He admitted to himself that he couldn't act out this feeling.

The scene shifts to a messy rental apartment.

Zhang Yi is cooking instant noodles by himself. The television in the background is playing the daily news, and the female anchor is reporting on the monster attack that occurred in the city this morning.

She emphasizes and praises the contributions of Ultraman Tiga and the GUTS team.

When the female anchor expresses her admiration and longing for Tiga on the show without hiding it.

Zhang Yi slightly squeezes the paper bag of instant noodles, and the look in his eyes under the close-up shot becomes increasingly deep.

Through such character shots, Xu Feng constantly conveys a metaphor to the audience—

This guy is not a good person.

After all, if he were a good person, why would he show such an expression when the host praises Tiga?

There are no bad people who like Tiga.

Those who don't like him must be villains!

"Brother Zhang Yi acted too well, but why does it feel like Director Xu, you haven't collaborated with him much?"

On the set of "Slam Dunk," Zhang Yishan turned his head and asked Xu Feng curiously.

It is well known that Xu Feng likes to use powerful actors, but as a pillar of the domestic acting school in recent years, it feels like Zhang Yi has very little experience working with Xu Feng.

Xu Feng says that he has no choice.

The characters in the 2D world are basically all handsome men and beautiful women.

Zhang Yi's physical appearance... everyone understands.

If Zhang Yi had Hu Ge's face.

Then how would it be Hu Ge's turn to play so many important roles?

This is reality.

The scene shifts, suddenly turning into the black-and-white color exclusive to flashback scenes.

A boy is pushed to the ground by other children around him.

His face is covered in dust and mud, and his nose is bleeding from the impact.

However, the children around him of similar age gather in a group, pointing at him and hurling malicious insults:

"You are a monster!"

"Monster! Monster!"

"Stay away from us!"

The black-and-white scene freezes on the boy's helpless eyes, which also carry a hint of hatred.

Then it quickly cuts back to Zhang Yi, who is in the messy rental apartment.

Seeing this, many Tiga fans began to guess the theme Xu Feng wanted to express in this episode.

【Could it be school bullying?】

【If this guy is really a victim of school bullying, then I'm sorry, I support him this time.】

【The level of harm school bullying causes to a person is truly unimaginable. Even though I'm almost 30 now, recalling the scenes of being bullied when I was a child still gives me goosebumps.】

【Schools now only think of ways to make money and have never thought about how to solve the substantive problems students face.】
