Chapter 630: The Release of

~28 min read 5,589 words

A single "New Year's Day" made He Yuanguang involuntarily recall the Spring Festival from his childhood.

Although the conditions in every household weren't very good back then, for some reason, he always felt the festive atmosphere was stronger than it is now.

"The children born in these recent years are afraid they will never experience that feeling in their lifetime," He Yuanguang couldn't help but sigh.

This made him feel all the more that this "China Poetry Choir" was quite interesting.

He Yuanguang sat in his study just like that, reading through the content of every episode.

Whenever a new poem appeared, he would always be unable to stop himself from reading it aloud.

These eternal masterpieces from Earth had appeared on Blue Star in such a special form.

He Yuanguang suddenly felt that he was very lucky.

"Could I be the first person to have finished reading these poems?" Guang Shu said to himself.

He could feel the importance and trust Luo Mo placed in him.

Little did he know, he was purely overthinking it.

It must have been Xu Chujing who read it first!

"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and He Yuanguang's wife said from outside: "Come out to eat."

"Coming," He Yuanguang stood up.

At the dinner table, he looked at his wife and child and suggested: "Let's go watch a movie tonight."

"What movie?" his wife asked while picking food for the child.

"'Be Famous', written by Luo Mo and directed by Guan Fei," He Yuanguang said.

"That one? Then we should go to the theater to support it," his wife agreed immediately.

He Yuanguang's son, who was already in his second year of high school, suggested from the side: "Then we can buy tickets now; otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be any good seats left."

"Right, right, right." He Yuanguang took out his phone, started buying tickets, and then paused slightly.

"For the 7:30 showing, the better seats are already gone; we can only sit in the first few rows."

"Let me see... there's another showing at 7:50..."

"Hmm? Is the fifth row okay?" he asked.

"The fifth row is fine," the son said.

"Alright, I'm buying the tickets now."

Nowadays, many young people are quite interested in this movie.

Within this, there is the popularity boost from "Mist Theater" and Luo Mo.

Another point is that during the promotion of this movie, "Script Kill" was one of the selling points.

This is a Script Kill-style movie.

And in recent years, Script Kill has been quite popular; many young people have played it.

After this industry developed, many web novel writers changed careers; they stopped writing novels and went to write Script Kills.

With such a "Script Kill-style" movie released, these players would think about going to see it.

Novelty can often bring a certain advantage in the early stages of a movie.

………

………

Night falls, Beijing.

Xu Jinzhu acted as a temporary driver, driving the family's extended luxury sedan to take his parents to a nearby cinema to support Luo Mo's new film.

After getting into the car, the Bluetooth connected directly to Xu Jinzhu's phone, automatically playing the rap from his playlist.

Xu Chong'an listened, frowned, and said: "Turn off the music."

"Oh, oh." Xu Jinzhu responded obediently.

He was still quite afraid of his father.

Just as he was about to turn off the music, Xu Chong'an thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, play Little Luo's new song instead."

"'The You of the Past'?" Xu Jinzhu asked, turning his head.

Xu Chong'an nodded calmly.

Luo Mo's singing voice spread through the top-tier sound system of the extended luxury sedan, bringing an excellent auditory experience.

This song has a kind of magical charm, which is that when the "DILILI..." part of the chorus appears, many men can't help but want to sing along.

Interestingly, because Xu Chong'an was in the car, Xu Jinzhu didn't dare to sing. And because Xu Jinzhu was in the car, Xu Chong'an felt too embarrassed to sing along.

However, they were singing very loudly in their hearts!

When the car drove into the mall's underground parking lot, many people around cast side-glances.

After all, this car costs nearly five million, and with consumption tax, purchase tax, and optional features, the price is staggering.

Many passersby who had already walked far away couldn't help but turn their heads to look a few more times.

This made Xu Jinzhu, who had only just received his driver's license and had terrible driving skills, feel incredibly nervous and uncomfortable.

It just so happened that today was New Year's Day, and some of the parking spaces in the mall available for reverse parking were already full. Xu Chong'an pointed directly to a space in the corner of the aisle and told Xu Jinzhu to parallel park.

The long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Ghost is over 5.7 meters long; with Xu Jinzhu's terrible driving skills, it would be a miracle if he could park it.

Xu Chong'an looked at him with disdain, saw that there was already a car waiting behind them, and said: "Move to the back; you're a man, and you can't even park a car."

When Xu Jinzhu got out of the car, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Speechless, another day of making a fool of myself!"

When the family of three arrived at the cinema, Xu Jinzhu's mood was still a bit low.

Old Xu was different; having just shown off his driving skills, his whole body was filled with a sense of paternal accomplishment.

"If this family didn't have me, what would they do!?" That was roughly Xu Chong'an's state of mind.

At the ticket gate, the staff member saw that there were so many people watching movies today, so they shouted: "The 7:35 showing of *Be Somebody*, you may line up for ticket inspection."

After taking their seats in the cinema, the big screen began playing the trailer for *Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child*.

A Nezha with dark circles under his eyes recited in a lazy voice: "I am a little monster, carefree and free..."

The film has already been scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, to be released in over a month.

Once all the advertisements finished playing, the main feature of *Be Somebody* began.

The cast of this film on Earth was quite interesting.

These actors were all supporting roles from hit comedy works.

They came from *Wulin Waizhuan*, *Longmen Express*, *Love Apartment*, *Charlotte Troubles*, *Surprise*...

For the Blue Star version, Guan Fei also found many comedy actors that everyone was familiar with.

In this, there was the help of Wang Rong.

As soon as the movie started, it was a group of people watching a black-and-white film in a cinema; it was very clear that the story was set many years ago, back when films were still black and white.

Inside the cinema, many people were whispering to each other, chatting about this terrible film.

They were equivalent to the first batch of Film Critics. Because this company was generous and gave large red envelopes, and would even provide a meal later, so no matter how bad it was or how little they understood, they would still praise it vigorously.

Only the male lead, Li Jiahui, closed the lid of his flask and walked out of the cinema, swaying.

The remaining people discussed: "Isn't that Li Jiahui? After causing such a big incident, is there still a newspaper office that dares to use him?"

"He's working as a screenwriter now, and even writing film reviews?"

"Isn't he just out here to hustle for travel expenses? What's he putting on airs for?"

From many aspects, this *Be Somebody* was actually filled with satire regarding various phenomena in the entertainment industry.

The opening scene where Film Critics take money and then fawn over the film, while calling others pretentious and aloof, was one of them.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong whispered to her son Xu Jinzhu: "I previously heard your sister say that Luo Mo never spends money to buy film reviews, so in the film critic circle, many people deliberately trash his movies."

The young Xu Jinzhu spoke with feigned maturity: "In this society now, isn't it just like this?"

But in his heart, he cursed: "A bunch of dogs! Trashing my Brother Mo's movie!"

In the movie, Li Jiahui walked out of the cinema, was picked up by Boss Lu's car, and taken to a building.

After they arrived and walked into a room, they discovered that there were already many people inside.

These people were all invited by Boss Lu 【Lu Ziye】.

Many audience members thought: "This name, are they serious?"

And Boss Lu's nominal reason was inviting them to make a movie; one could roughly understand him as the producer and investor.

Li Jiahui was a reporter who had lost his job for speaking out for justice, and was more or less invited to be the screenwriter.

Others included washed-up Actors, directors who made terrible films, and so on.

In the room, a camera was running, filming the scene inside. Lu Ziye's excuse was: recording everyone's meeting.

Lu Ziye said that he had a case in his hands and wanted everyone to turn it into a movie.

Everyone was guessing what big case it was, but none of them guessed it right.

The case he spoke of was the 【Sanlao Case】.

The so-called Sanlao were three figures, one from each of the finance, shipping, and industrial sectors, who were highly respected and held the power to turn the tide; they were collectively called the Sanlao.

They almost controlled the economic lifeline of this city.

But they were all murdered!

The group discussed this case.

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"He's about to be executed by firing squad."

In the meeting, Director Zheng was the first to stand up and speak, talking about how it should be filmed.

Xu Jinzhu wanted to laugh as he listened: "If it's really filmed like this, it's too terrible!"

But then he thought, aren't terrible films rampant these days?

Good heavens, is this satire again?

Li Jiahui rejected Director Zheng's filming approach; he felt the most important thing was to first unearth the murderer, to figure out what he looked like, what his identity was, and what his motive for the crime was...

During the argument, Li Jiahui's pen fell to the floor.

When he went to pick up the pen, he lifted the tablecloth and suddenly discovered that Qi Leshan, who had been invited by Boss Lu Ziye to serve as the case 【Consultant】, was actually wearing shackles on his feet!

Li Jiahui stood up, his expression grave and dull, looking lost; the various conversations of the people before echoed in his ears.

He locked eyes with Qi Leshan, who was smoking; Qi Leshan guessed that he had already seen the shackles on his feet and gave him a playful smile.

The first Reversal of the entire film appeared right then.

Inside the cinema, many audience members watching *Be Somebody* let out suppressed gasps.

They had already understood!

Qi Leshan, sitting here, was not a consultant invited specifically for filming the 【Sanlao Case】 at all.

He was the one Lu Ziye had somehow managed to trick into coming here... the murderer himself!

Xu Jinzhu: "This Reversal is truly too absurd!"

But something even more absurd was yet to come.

Director Zheng, who was still completely ignorant of everything, began to freely imagine why the murderer committed the crime.

In front of the shackled Qi Leshan, still thinking he was truly a 【Consultant】, he said: "It's nothing more than childhood trauma, repression, desire, and so on."

"Be more specific," said the Actor Su Mengdie.

"For example... he is impotent," said Director Zheng.

"That part doesn't work," the washed-up Actor Guan Jingnian winked and gestured, explaining what it meant to be impotent.

Director Zheng's train of thought became increasingly flexible. He rested one hand on Qi Leshan's shoulder and said, "So, besides violence, he could also engage in voyeurism, molestation, urinating and defecating anywhere..."

"Right?" he asked the 【Consultant】 Qi Leshan.

Qi Leshan held a cigarette in one hand while stifling his laughter, and gave Director Zheng a heavy "Mm" in response.

Although Li Jiahui had previously had unpleasantries with Director Zheng, and the two had been so disgusted with each other at the start that they didn't want to greet one another, he still kindly reminded him: "Director Zheng, you, come over here for a second."

Unexpectedly, Director Zheng said unhappily: "Ordering people around? You come over here!"

Li Jiahui said: "Perhaps... there is a problem below."

He gestured toward the shackles.

"What problem?" Director Zheng still didn't understand.

The washed-up Actor Guan Jingnian asked: "Are you saying the murderer..."

Li Jiahui thought he had understood and nodded with a solemn face.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jingnian raised his hand and said: "It's not that the murderer can't, but rather... he doesn't have it!"

Director Guan's train of thought was opened up again: "The last eunuch in Huaxia, this is exciting, really exciting!"

In the Cinema, many audience members really couldn't hold back their laughter.

It's too incredible, too incredible.

You guys are courting death!

Xu Jinzhu glanced at Xu Chong'an out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, his father, who was usually stern and humorless, was just as calm and indifferent today.

This made him decide that he too should be a bit more profound, and not act like a fool every single day in front of his father.

——Hold it in! I must hold it in!

At this moment, Li Jiahui saw that they still refused to stop and were continuing to play with fire in front of the murderer.

He carefully dragged an ashtray to the side, wanting to knock it onto the floor.

The ashtray smashed toward the ground.

Unexpectedly, the stuntman Chen Xiaoda, who was sitting beside him, glanced over out of the corner of his eye, then moved with lightning speed and caught the ashtray with his foot.

"This is just too ridiculous!" Xu Jinzhu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Jiahui wouldn't give up; he started dragging the fruit platter on the table, pulling a plate of Oranges along with the platter downward.

The stuntman Chen Xiaoda, who was sitting to the side, was clearly still discussing with everyone how Hollywood didn't respect us, yet his hands were incredibly fast, and he caught everything again.

Didn't expect that, did you? I'm this strong!

Watch me do it a second time!

"Screenwriter Li, be careful," he even said smugly.

——Hehe, am I capable or what?

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Xu Jinzhu heard a sound coming from beside him.

He turned his head in surprise and saw Xu Chong'an twitching the corners of his mouth and clearing his throat.

………

………

As the movie progressed to this point, Li Jiahui finally couldn't hold back and pulled the tablecloth away directly.

Only then did everyone realize that the real murderer was actually at the scene!

Director Zheng and Guan Jingnian made a move to leave, but unexpectedly, the actress Su Mengdie, wearing a qigao and showing off her curves, remained calm. She indicated that she had seen it long ago and calmly walked over to light a cigarette for the murderer.

This movie was actually a standard Group Portrait Drama; every character had their own strengths and weaknesses, and they were all very vivid.

Su Mengdie was not the kind of vase most commonly seen in film and television works; on the contrary, she was a Gentle and powerful older sister-type character.

Facing the questioning of others, Boss Lu Ziye even faced the recording camera equipment and said: "The murderer has come to the scene in person, what an honor!"

"Use this as the trailer; how could this movie not be a hit?" he said, biting on his pipe.

"It will have to go down in film history!"

Through his various methods of persuasion, in the end, many people suppressed their fear and sat back down.

"Luo Mo's movie is truly interesting," Zhao Tong said softly to the father and son.

Since she had spoken, Xu Chong'an and Xu Jinzhu quickly said in unison with tacit understanding: "Mm!"

From this point on, the content of the movie could be considered to have entered a turning point.

Li Jiahui, who used to be a reporter, began to dig deep into Qi Leshan, wanting to know what he did and why he killed the three elders.

The verbal sparring here had a great sense of rhythm.

This was also why Luo Mo specifically chose this script for Guan Fei to direct; it was especially suitable for him to practice his skills.

Xu Jinzhu and Xu Chong'an were now completely engrossed.

The father and son's train of thought was unified; they felt that Li Jiahui would be the guide for the Drama from here on out, and that he would rely on his own wisdom to unearth the truth for us, the movie audience, to see.

However, did he really crush Qi Leshan in terms of wisdom?

In reality, he did not.

Next was the segment where Qi Leshan, with shackles on his feet, showed off his skills.

He started to show off his acting.

He said he killed the three elders to kill the tall one, because he looked like his dad.

Everyone thought a domestic violence theme was being highlighted.

The film began to play childhood scenes, and Zhao Tong was already starting to feel heartache.

"Ah, his dad actually hit women, actually hit his mother in front of the child!"

Amidst the tragic sounds, when the scene finally focused on the front, his dad was hitting—his horse.

"I call him Dad, and he hits my horse? Is that right?" Qi Leshan said with sorrow and Anger.

Li Jiahui wanted to fly into a rage again.

But Guan Jingnian and Director Zheng just happened to start chatting, feeling that this story had great texture; it was a metaphor, the horse represented his mother, this was the deformation of memory after trauma.

Unable to listen any longer, Li Jiahui directly opened the box beside him and took out a scimitar from inside.

Everyone began to pass it around to one another.

Sitting beside Qi Leshan, the policeman Dahai who was responsible for controlling him, spoke up: "His knife, this is the murder weapon."

The terrified crowd hurriedly passed the knife to others, no one daring to touch it.

An absurd scene appeared, passing it back and forth.

"Take it away, take it away!"

"Don't give it to me!"

"You take it, you take it!"

In the end... the knife was passed into Qi Leshan's hands.

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Unable to stop laughing, Xu Jinzhu was frantically holding back his laughter; the father and son were simply identical.

Sensing this, Xu Chong'an glanced at him in surprise.

The policeman Dahai immediately stood up and pulled out his gun, but due to being overly flustered, he didn't hold the gun steady, and it fell into Qi Leshan's left hand.

Just like that, he held the knife in one hand and the gun in the other, which even left him bewildered!

The murderer: Damn it, I'm speechless.

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Xu Chong'an couldn't hold it in this time either.

Zhao Tong looked at the father and son; she had been laughing heartily, feeling that these two were really ruining the atmosphere, so she frowned and said, "Why don't you two go to a clinic and get that cough checked out?"

In the end, Qi Leshan still honestly put down both the knife and the gun.

This point was very suspicious, making Xu Jinzhu feel it was foreshadowing.

Later on, the more Qi Leshan made things up, the more absurd it became, even inventing tall tales like the 【Blade Immortal】.

Yet Director Zheng and the others were listening with great interest, feeling that maybe they should just film him being crazy! Film him as a madman.

Li Jiahui couldn't listen anymore.

Lu Ziye hurriedly came up to dissuade him: "Hey, hey, hey! Jiahui, movies are a business..."

Fine, they started satirizing the entertainment industry again.

Later on, because of some reasons, everyone left the room and came to other parts of this building.

Here, they discovered a songstress named Nightingale, her portrait, and many cards with names written on them; some people with extraordinary identities were all voting for this songstress Nightingale.

On the other side, Lu Ziye directly sent people to deliver food, and then had them lock this house, not letting the people inside leave.

Immediately after, the stuntman Chen Xiaoda let out an exclamation, because he saw a messy room full of blood!

The second 【Reversal】 of the entire film appeared.

This place was actually the... crime scene of the 【Sanlao Case】!

In an instant, gasps of surprise erupted in the 【Cinema】 again.

In the movie, Lu Ziye was too lazy to pretend anymore—I'm showing my cards!

No one is leaving here today; you must get something done for me today!

The crowd cursed him, and he cursed them back one by one.

Cursing me?

Aren't you all just directors of trash films, washed-up actors, and martial arts 【Body Double】s?

The first to be sprayed was the stuntman Chen Xiaoda.

"Aren't you just a martial arts 【Body Double】 over in 【Hollywood】? What the hell do you know? You're following others in promoting martial arts; are you full from eating? Getting your face beaten by foreigners until it looks like an ass every day, aren't you afraid of losing face?"

Chen Xiaoda took a deep breath, raised a finger, and said: "Although I get beaten, I only play Japanese people; it doesn't count as losing face for the Chinese!"

In an instant, the 【Cinema】 burst into laughter; the terror brought by the murder scene earlier vanished in an instant.

Everyone began to expose each other's secrets, and Lu Ziye sprayed them one by one, stabbing knives into everyone's hearts in various ways.

It was simply a large-scale "race to the bottom" for a group of trashy people in the industry.

In the end, everyone began to compromise in their hearts, unanimously feeling they should rely on this 【Sanlao Case】 to make a comeback, and then they all walked into the crime scene.

If placed on 【Earth】, this would be one of the cases Conan is best at: a locked-room murder case!

Everyone speculated that the murderer must have come in from the pipes above.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the locked-up Qi Leshan actually managed to escape using his own methods, locking everyone else into the murder scene.

While everyone thought about how to escape, they also worked hard to investigate the truth of the 【Sanlao Case】.

In this process, everyone also talked about a French doctor's dismemberment case.

What was baffling was that Qi Leshan didn't think about doing anything to them; instead, after locking the place up, he started looking around the house, checking various things and every 【Corner】.

After finishing these things, he entered through the pipes and took Su Mengdie as a 【Hostage】.

Li Jiahui rushed over at this moment; he felt he had discovered the truth and began to analyze it.

In his analysis, Qi Leshan killed because a girl had encountered something very dirty here; you have to know, in this room, there were metal hooks on the ceiling that could be used with a rope to... do that thing.

To protect the reputation of this cherished person, after rushing in and killing the three elders, he dragged the bodies away through the pipes, stuffed the bodies into the French doctor's car, and then returned here, waiting quietly for the police to arrive, letting them capture him to avoid the bodies in the car being found immediately, which would ruin the girl's reputation.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong cried her eyes out.

She was moved by this deep-feeling man before her.

Qi Leshan was originally a soldier, and Nightingale was the daughter of his late superior.

He had always protected Nightingale, and Nightingale's dream was 【Singing】.

But in the end, after she became the top courtesan, she encountered all of this; by the time he arrived, Nightingale had already been tied in the air and humiliated to death.

Qi Leshan killed everyone in the room.

However, the corpse found in the French doctor's car had been dismembered.

Su Mengdie then asked, "But why dismember the body?"

A flash of panic crossed Qi Leshan's eyes, but in the end, he claimed that he was the one who performed the dismemberment. His reason remained the same: to preserve the girl's purity, he cut her body along the tear stains left by the ropes.

Seeing this, Xu Jinzhu couldn't help but frown and mutter, "It doesn't make sense."

Zhao Tong, who was crying her eyes out, glared at him and whispered, "How does it not make sense?"

Xu Chong'an also said, "There are indeed many places where the logic doesn't hold up; it doesn't form a closed loop."

"Watch the movie properly and both of you shut up! Little Luo wrote this script so well." Zhao Tong scolded softly.

The father and son looked at each other and both shrank their necks.

Just as everything seemed to be coming to light, people from Military Intelligence Division 8 broke the lock outside the house, and a large group of men with guns arrived at the scene to take Qi Leshan away.

The crowd, who had just been moved to tears, all wanted to expose the truth, but these people not only wanted to take Qi Leshan away, they also wanted to dismantle the entire crime scene.

They even planned to burn the whole place down.

This person seemed to want to cover up the crimes of the Sanlao Case and these people of high society.

The villain said, "Do you know what is the most terrifying thing in this world?"

"Memory."

"Once a person says it out loud, it becomes the memory of thousands, just like a big fire, which all starts from one little spark."

"I am the one responsible for stamping out the sparks."

The policeman Dahai was even shot dead by him on the spot.

Finally, with some cooperation, Qi Leshan showed his true strength for the first time.

After getting a blade, he threatened the villainous officer in a few quick moves and told everyone to leave immediately.

"I remember you said you were the one who stamps out sparks?" After everyone had run away, Qi Leshan looked at the villain and fired a shot directly into the gasoline!

One can imagine how huge a fire this would ignite!

"Damn! He's so cool." Xu Jinzhu couldn't help but think to himself.

After the group escaped, they were originally going to go their separate ways.

Amidst the arguing, everyone finally reached a consensus and decided to make this movie!

These people were chased all the way to Vietnam, and then the movie was released there.

The biggest Reversal of the entire film appeared right then.

This group of people actually filmed the Sanlao Case into a movie, and it turned out to be a terrible film!

No wonder people said they ended up like that before; they really were a bunch of talents!

But it made sense; just because their starting point was noble didn't mean their professional skills would suddenly improve.

Sure enough, being incompetent is the original sin!

But strangely, at the screening, Li Jiahui actually saw someone in the audience—the Nightingale!

In an instant, gasps of Surprise came from the Cinema again!

The truth was that the Nightingale wasn't actually dead; Qi Leshan had just done it to protect her, so she could live the life of an ordinary person!

Everything he told Li Jiahui and the others was something he had made up.

He had just deliberately linked several cases together!

He had given everything for this, including his own life!

In the end, Li Jiahui did not stop the Nightingale from getting into the car and let her leave.

The group began to rush to the boat to head to the next place.

But at the very end of the film, through the dialogue of others, the audience was informed that the boat had an accident and many passengers were missing.

As for whether this group of people actually made it onto the boat, it was left ambiguous; the audience did not know whether they were alive or dead.

One Reversal after another brought a great deal of Surprise to the audience watching "Be Famous" in the Cinema.

In the Cinema, the lights came on, and the three members of the Xu Family left with the rest of the audience.

After sitting back in the car, Zhao Tong asked, "Did you two think it was good?"

Xu Jinzhu had many words of praise in his heart, but when they reached his lips, he swallowed and said, "Various Reversals, it was not bad."

After saying that, he added, "Dad, what do you think?"

Xu Chong'an glanced at him, and after a moment of contemplation, this tycoon in the hotel industry with assets over a hundred million said in a deep voice, "Jinzhu, sometimes the information you receive is not necessarily the truth."

"In the movie, Qi Leshan is the storyteller, and Li Jiahui is the listener. He thought he understood, but in fact, he was too clever for his own good and was led by the nose by Qi Leshan the whole time."

"Then, Luo Mo is the one who writes the story, and you are the one who watches the story. Are you sure that the truth you see in the end is really the truth?"

"Is the final result really that Qi Leshan gave everything so the Nightingale could live a normal life?"

"Did you notice that from the very beginning, the movie had a hidden thread, which was the conflict between the military and the chaebols over the embezzlement of military pay?"

"Is it possible that Qi Leshan was indeed protecting the Nightingale, but the Sanlao were actually killed by the Nightingale?"

Xu Chong'an's words made Xu Jinzhu tremble all over.

He couldn't help but feel that many illogical parts of the movie suddenly made sense.

For example, the Sanlao had many bodyguards around them.

For example, in the story of the Blade Immortal that Qi Leshan made up earlier, he also said he had a powerful junior sister.

For example, he also said to the Nightingale: I will make up a story that satisfies everyone.

Immediately after, he thought of Li Jiahui chasing the Nightingale, finally letting her get into the car without disturbing her.

Subsequently, Guan Jingnian and the others caught up and asked why Li Jiahui had suddenly run off.

What Guan Jingnian said was: "You scared me to death; I thought you had seen a Killer."

Including when the movie about the Sanlao Case filmed by this group was broadcast, the voiceover was Su Mengdie asking: "So, can everyone understand it?"

A terrifying thought arose in Xu Jinzhu's mind: "Could this be Luo Mo asking us, the audience?"

You all, do you understand now?

At night, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing flew back to Shanghai from Beijing together, arriving home at 11:30.

Xu Chujing scrolled through Weibo for a while, then smiled and handed her phone to Luo Mo to look at.

"Stalking your younger brother's Weibo again?" Luo Mo laughed along.

Xu Jinzhu did not know his Weibo was always being peeked at by his sister; he had always assumed the whole family didn't know his Weibo handle.

Just a few minutes ago, Xu Jinzhu had posted a Weibo, a short review regarding "Be Famous".

"【Are all the truths really the truth?】"

Luo Mo guessed that he was likely the same as many viewers on Earth, using some of the film's hidden threads to engage in imagination and reverie.

Whether these were over-interpretations or secrets hidden in the shadows, in Luo Mo's view, it was not very important.

After a film is made, everything is left to the audience.

With so many viewers, there will always be different ideas.

A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets.

That is enough, isn't it?

As for who is right and who is wrong, there is actually no way to judge.

This is just filming a movie, and then filming a movie within the movie.

But these debates are precisely where a film has meaning, and also where this thing called film is interesting.

So, "Be Famous" was not called this name at the beginning.

This film was originally called—"The Birth of a Film".

And, in this film with both overt and hidden threads, a sentence had long been hidden; this line of dialogue is:

"【The audience's interpretation is often more brilliant than our creation】."

Luo Mo: "Just let the audience struggle with it themselves! Haha!"

(PS: This chapter is about 8400+ words. I kind of regret choosing this film; there are too many elements, it can't be written in a few sentences, and writing it in detail would probably get me scolded again. I deleted and revised, deleted a lot, and in the end, there was still so much left.)
