Chapter 329 Goodbye Lu Sansan
Early January.
It is already deep winter in the capital.
The fine snowflakes floating in the sky add to the atmosphere of this season.
Under these snowflakes, a tall girl wearing a white woolen hat and a long down jacket of the same color was looking up slightly at the signboard of "Huaqing Cinema".
Her eyelashes are so long that they can catch falling snowflakes.
What's longer than her eyelashes are her trance-like thoughts immersed in memories.
"Three three."
"Three three?"
"Ah?" The girl came back to her senses and looked at the female companion next to her who had baby fat on her face.
"Why are you so dazed? Hurry up, the screening ceremony is about to begin." The female companion pulled her involuntarily and walked into the building.
This girl’s name is Lu Jiu, and everyone around her calls her San San.
As introduced before, she is Xu Xiyu's third girlfriend and the only ex-girlfriend with whom she has no substantive relationship.
They were going to attend the screening of "The Annual Party Can't Stop".
Talking about the opening ceremony, it is actually derived from the "premiere ceremony" held when the movie was announced. The purpose of doing this kind of activity is to promote the movie and create some buzz.
So not every movie does that. Moreover, even if there is a spot screening, different movies have different organizational contents.
Just like the screening of "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" this time, there was quite a battle, not only a signature wall and a photo area.
We also prepared gift bags for all the audiences invited this time. The gift included many peripherals of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" and a signed record by Xu Xiyu.
The peripherals include T-shirts, signed posters by the main creator, signed photo cards, refrigerator magnets and badges, which can be said to be very rich.
The rarest among them should be Xu Xiyu's signed record, which is very rare on the market. Because he has never held a signing event at all.
It’s not that I’m too lazy to do it, it’s that my identity changed too quickly and I didn’t have time to do it.
Even after becoming the chairman of Huaqing, people from Huaqing Music took the initiative to help him make the physical album.
This screening ceremony invited a bunch of artists, Internet celebrities and nearly a hundred ordinary viewers.
The reason why Lu Jiu and her companions appeared here was actually a coincidence. Their tickets were given by Yu Yuyu.
Yes, Lu Jiu and Yu Yuyu knew each other, but they were not the kind of friends they had known each other for a long time. The two of them knew each other for less than 2 months.
The reason for their understanding is also a combination of various coincidences, which cannot be explained in a few words.
Then, it didn't take long for Yu Yuyu to invest in the company where Lu Jiu worked, which was the game company she told Xu Xiyu in the office before.
The company is called [Parallel Chongcai] and is developing an RPG stand-alone game based on Journey to the West called "The Legend of Journey to the West".
Lu Jiu's brother Lu Tang is the main artist of Parallel Chongcai, and she is also a member of the art team of this company.
Anyway, since then, Yu Yuyu and Lu Jiu have become friends, and they even gave her two tickets for this screening.
This made Lu Jiu's companion Yu Sihan shout excitedly, while she herself was often in a trance.
Speaking of which, I broke up with Xu Xiyu nearly five years ago. Although I didn't see each other again during this period, we occasionally contacted each other in the first two years to check on each other's current situation.
After all, the two broke up not because they had a falling out, but because she went abroad.
A year ago, when Xu Xiyu became the chairman of Huaqing, she returned to China and could be said to have just witnessed Xu Xiyu's take-off.
The impact this had on her was really great.
Who would have thought that the young and handsome boy with some inferiority complex, who would get jealous because he talked about other boys, and then brag in front of him that he was much better than others, could develop to the heights he is today.
This always made Lu Jiu feel unreal.
She has never been able to regard the Xu Xiyu in the public's mouth and the Xu Xiyu she knows as the same person, and she has never been able to equate the two.
With this mentality, as soon as she entered the movie theater, she couldn't help but glance around. Soon, she saw a human-shaped sign placed in a prominent position in the movie theater.
The person on the sign is naturally Xu Xiyu, and the words "Welcome to Huaqing Cinema" are written in the center of the sign. A sign similar to this is placed in all the theaters in the Huaqing Cinema Line.
Seeing this sign, Lu Jiu's sense of unreality became even stronger.
Just as she was about to step forward to take a closer look, Yu Sihan next to her moved faster. She stood next to Xu Xiyu's standing sign, struck a pose and said, "Sansan, take a photo with Mr. Dan and me."
"There's something that I've always been curious about. Why do you call him Mr. Dan?" Lu Jiu asked in confusion as he turned on his phone.
"Actually, I don't know why. Hey, what did you call him in school before?" Yu Sihan asked curiously.
Yes, everyone around him knew that Lu Jiu and Xu Xiyu were from the same school before. After all, this matter was public information.
But except for some former classmates, no one knew that she had been in love with Xu Xiyu, not even her brother.
Therefore, after hearing this question, Lu Jiu said while taking pictures: "We used to call him by his name. Oh, by the way, some people also call him Acao."
"Acao? Why?" Yu Sihan was a little confused.
"When he first entered the school, our art department said that he was a grass-roots student. He would become a grass-roots boy if he screamed." Lu Jiu couldn't help but laugh as he said this.
After finishing the fun and taking the photos, she handed her phone to Yu Sihan to look through, while she stood in front of Xu Xiyu's sign and started reading.
As I watched, Yu Sihan's voice came to my ears: "Do you want to take a photo?"
Lu Jiu was startled when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head and said: "No need."
"Yes, old classmate, it's really embarrassing to take a photo with Lipai."
"That's not the reason." Lu Jiu shook his head, then raised his eyes to look at Li Pai. But the more I look at her, the weirder I feel. They obviously look the same, but why do I always feel like they are two people?
However, she quickly shook off some strange thoughts and said hello in her heart: Long time no see.
More than ten minutes later.
After taking a bunch of photos, the two people entered the screening hall. There were not many people in the hall at this time, and everyone was taking selfies with the gift bags they had just received.
While Yu Sihan was looking at the gift he had just received, he said: "Tell me, if the movie holds a screening ceremony, will it invite celebrities to come and support it?"
"I think so. When I watched other movies online, wouldn't they always show some celebrities' reactions to watching the movie?" Lu Jiu was also flipping through the gift bag as he spoke.
"So, we should be able to see a lot of celebrities today?" Yu Sihan said, getting a little excited.
Lu Jiu didn't reply when she heard this, because her attention was completely attracted by the signed album of Xu Xiyu in her hand.
Yu Sihan, who was standing next to him, saw this and said happily: "Hey, let me interview you. An old classmate suddenly became a big star and got his signed album. How does it feel?"
"How to describe this? I can't say it, I really can't say it."
"Does it feel unreal?"
"A little bit."
"Hey, let me tell you, you really don't have a group photo, even a big one."
"Oh, I've said it many times, but it really doesn't happen." Lu Jiu lied. How could they not take a photo together when they were in love, but she didn't want to spread this.
"The meeting is over, do you want to go up and say hello to him?" "Forget it, people may not remember me." Lu Jiu refused without thinking.
Just when Yu Sihan was about to persuade him again, he saw a group of people coming in at the door of the cinema.
At this moment, she directly changed the subject: "Damn, there are so many internet celebrities, all of them familiar faces. It's worth the trip. I'm going to collect stamps. Are you going?"
"I'm not going." Lu Jiu didn't have much feelings for Internet celebrities.
Seeing that she didn't go, Yu Sihan stopped asking. He took the phone and was about to walk out, but he hadn't moved yet. A few more people came in at the door of the theater. These people were serious and well-known entertainers.
Therefore, as soon as they entered, there was a burst of cheers inside the theater.
And among those Internet celebrities who had just come in and had not sat down completely, one by one, they all got up and came forward to say hello.
When Yu Sihan saw this, he knew that his idea of collecting stamps would never be completed, so he could only stand there and take pictures with his mobile phone.
While filming, he said: "Mr. Dan is so proud. These are all artists from other companies. How can they come to support them?"
"Really?"
"Yes, it should be all about light and shadow. It is really not easy to come and support me. It shows that Mr. Dan has established a firm foothold in the industry." Yu Sihan pays more attention to the entertainment industry and talks about these things very well.
While the two were chatting, more celebrities and artists came in, and cheers came one after another.
Even Lu Jiu couldn't help but record it with his mobile phone.
Yu Sihan next to him saw twenty or thirty artists coming.
He sighed again: "Damn it, really, Mr. Dan is really proud. The number of guests here is almost as many as a small party. Most company bosses can't do this."
Listening to Yu Sihan's repeated words, Lu Jiu, who was holding up his mobile phone, felt that the sense of unreality was rising again and getting stronger.
Is this really the Xu Xiyu I know?
Do they have the same name and surname?
Here, she was thinking about Xu Xiyu, and Yu Sihan next to her happened to be talking about Xu Xiyu: "Hey, what was Xu Xiyu like in school before?"
"How should I describe this?" Lu Jiu really didn't know how to describe it. "The appearance has not changed much, but other aspects must be completely different from now. The changes are quite big."
"Tell me more specifically, what has changed... Damn it, Liu Weichi? The King of Heaven is here too?" A scream came from Liu Sihan's mouth.
However, her scream was not abrupt.
Because when Weichi Liu walked in from the door, there were screams everywhere in the theater. Not only that, the artists and internet celebrities present also stood up to say hello to show respect.
As for Lu Jiu, he just felt like he was dreaming at this time.
The scene of lying on the lawn of the school's lover's slope with Xu Xiyu at night, watching Liu Weichi's classic old movies on the phone, rushed directly into my mind.
Fantasy.
It's too fantasy.
Did Liu Weichi come to support?
Why is he connected with Xu Xiyu?
Are the people on the screen alive?
"San San, the lineup is so strong. Today is really worth it, really!" Yu Sihan kept getting excited.
They even started to say some outrageous things: "Look, the King of Heaven is indeed the King of Heaven, and all the popular artists have to stand up."
But Lu Jiu also agreed that this was the treatment that a king should have.
Thinking of this, she was about to speak when she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appear in front of the theater door.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of cheers that was no weaker than that of Liu Weichi who had just entered the door sounded from my ears again.
Not only that, the artists who just stood up to welcome Liu Weichi now not only stood up, but also left directly from their seats and lined up to shake hands and chat with Xu Xiyu.
In fact, the first person to step forward was Liu Weichi himself.
This scene left Lu Jiu inexplicably stunned on the spot.
There is a saying that everything you see online is ultimately separated by a screen.
The scene that happened in front of her made her suddenly realize what kind of status Xu Xiyu was now.
As an ex-girlfriend.
As an old acquaintance.
She had a sense of astonishment and shock that no one else could experience at all.
Just by releasing a movie, can so many people come to support it?
It turns out that he wasn't bragging at first, he was really much better than those outstanding boys in his eyes before.
But then again, the way he used to "brag" was quite fun and cute.
While thinking wildly, Lu Jiu felt her shoulders being shaken wildly. While shaking her, Yu Sihan was so excited: "Oh my God, he's so handsome. Isn't this too handsome? Why didn't you think of taking a photo with him before?"
Hearing this, Lu Jiu had mixed feelings and really didn't know what to say.
She didn't speak, but Yu Sihan couldn't stop talking: "Sansan, can we go up and take a photo with him later? You are classmates and you know Mr. Yu, so it shouldn't matter if we take a photo, right?"
< br>
Lu Jiu was really embarrassed when he heard this.
Five years is enough time to forget many people and things.
Xu Xiyu really may not remember him, nor may he be willing to deal with him again. After all, there is a lesson learned from Lan Shuyun.
Thinking of this, she sat down directly.
She is not a self-pitying person.
However, some of the things that happened in front of her really shocked her.
At this time, Xu Xiyu had already quickly greeted the guests.
After saying hello, he looked towards the cheering audience in the back row and waved hello.
As his eyes wandered, he quickly spotted Lu Jiu in the audience.
As soon as he saw her, Xu Xiyu became inexplicably happy. It's the pleasure of meeting old friends after becoming prosperous, just like returning home in rich clothes.
In an instant, he had a flash of inspiration. He took back his left hand and tapped two fingers on his forehead. He then waved forward in a gesture similar to a salute, and raised his eyebrows at Lu Jiu.
As soon as this action came out, Lu Jiu's whole body felt like an electric shock, and he got goosebumps.
In college, Xu Xiyu often used this gesture to say hello.
So, he was greeting me?
That’s all, brothers. I don’t know if it’s because I have a fever or a cold. I’m not in good condition recently. The word count has increased to 4,000, and the subscription price is still 2,400. One more chapter tomorrow
