Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 267 Happy Graduation
Holding the other person's hand, Li Luo shook it vigorously.

the film.

It's not something that can be shot by one person.

DV movies don't count, but any normal theater movie will have dozens or even hundreds of people working on it.

And the film project.

It is also difficult for a company to operate.

Let others get involved. Although you have to share some of the money you make, it can also reduce the risk if you really lose money. You don't have to bear huge losses alone and get eliminated all at once.

This is not an industry where you can have the best of both worlds.

Even with the box office appeal of Stephen Chow and Fang Long, they still need other investors to join in the fun.

Taking risks is one thing.

Finding offensive and defensive alliances is also a very important reason.

Once a good film is made.

That is a profit of tens of millions.

Movies released in the same period squeeze each other, and a single collision will result in losses of hundreds of millions. If there is no strong offensive and defensive alliance, others will not watch you grab the box office.

As the big publisher, Berna is a very good partner.

Anyone who wants to cause trouble must think carefully.

Compared to Huayi.

Li Luo also admired Yu Dong's style of doing things.

Although all crows are black, if you have a choice, it would certainly be a better choice to cooperate with those who are not so black.

"Thank you for your trust, Brother Yu Dong."

Letting go of his hand, Li Luo said seriously: "Since I want to do something, I won't go for the purpose of paying tuition. My new movie will be an action movie."

"With the support of Sha Po Lang, the market's trust in me should be high."

"For action direction, I have already contacted Qian Jiale, he is from the Hong Clan and is also a well-known martial arts director."

As Yu Dong nodded repeatedly, Li Luo thought for a moment and continued, "As for the script, the protagonist is an Interpol who retired for some reason, and the story is about him getting involved in an accident because of a little girl."

"The villains in the movie are gang forces that are in cahoots with Southeast Asian gangs."

"They are selling drugs and organs."

"The little girl's mother is a drug addict. Under the instigation of others, she looked for an opportunity to secretly steal the unique drug in the villain's transaction."

"Both mother and daughter were kidnapped by the gang and their whereabouts are unknown."

"During the long time they have been together, the little girl has become the protagonist's spiritual sustenance. For this reason, he did not hesitate to charge at the criminal organization alone and rescue the little girl with his own strength."

When the vehicle stopped, Li Luo briefly told the story.

In the original work, the protagonist is a retired agent, but this identity is impossible to use.

Don't even think about it, you'll definitely get stuck.

After much deliberation, he decided to change the protagonist's identity to a former Interpol officer. This identity could perfectly explain the protagonist's skills and also serve to raise his level.

"Not bad."

Yu Dong didn't rush to get out of the car. He tapped his fingers on his knees quickly. "The structure of your story is very mature. The protagonist has a dark and painful past, and the little girl has subtly become the reason for his existence."

"For this reason, for my last spiritual sustenance."

“Thus begins the fight against the forces of evil.”

"no problem."

Clenching his fist, the big boss of the distributor looked a little excited: "The protagonist is powerful enough. If we find a cute actress to play the little girl, the audience's emotions will be strong enough."

"From the moment the little girl's accident happened, the anticipation for watching the movie will continue to rise."

“The story is totally fine.”

"It all depends on how you express yourself!"

Yu Dong was not joking when he said that just now. He didn't care whether this movie could make money or not. As long as Li Luo prepared and filmed it seriously, he would dare to invest money in it.

When doing business, you cannot just focus on immediate benefits.

Consider the long term future.

In his opinion it is obviously more important.

Since last year, Berna has not only been engaged in distribution, but also in film and television production. Yu Dong has invested not only in Li Luo, but also in other projects.

He was prepared to incur losses for each of these projects.

It's not terrible to lose money.

What he wants is the qualifications to enter the game and the experience in operating projects.

With these.

Then build up your network of contacts.

Berna can gradually transform from a single distribution company into an industry giant that combines distribution and production.

In fact, Yu Dong was optimistic about some well-known directors from Hong Kong Island, but gradually Li Luo also came into his sight. After thinking it over again and again during this period, he decided to place a bet on the other party as well.

After hearing Li Luo's story, he became even more determined to place the bet.

Things were indeed done ahead of time.

It's not just random talk.

"Yes."

After Yu Dong's words, Li Luo nodded with a smile: "The script is one thing, and the performance method is another. I know this very well. I have also been working on drawing storyboards during this period."

"Anyway, I'll prepare slowly. I won't joke about my career."

Since he chose to play with other people's money, he was not reluctant to show goodwill after firmly stating his bottom line.

From the script to the storyboard, everything is done with the heart of Partner An.

"Actually, I'm very grateful to Brother Yu Dong for believing in me."

Li Luo cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude earnestly, "So don't say anything like I'll take you along to play. We'll advance and retreat together. If there's work, we'll do it together, and if there's money, we'll make it together."

"Of course."

Yu Dong also laughed and cupped his hands, also expressing his politeness.

Reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

The two became closer.

They called each other out of the car and walked into the hotel to celebrate the successful start of SPL.

Some things just need a good start.

Next.

There are frequent good news.

The box office dropped slightly on the second day, but the good reputation and hot sales results led to another wave of counter-trend growth in the next two days of the weekend.

The first week box office is freshly released, even though it has only been released for four days.

Kill the wolf.

The box office in mainland China has already exceeded 22 million.

However, with Yu Dong's promotion, the news that the box office of "SPL" successfully exceeded 30 million quickly made headlines, which stabilized the enthusiasm for watching movies.

In fact, everyone regarded the box office revenue of 60 million as Li Luo’s boast.

Now it has exceeded 30 million in four days.

It was shocking, and many people were amazed at this guy's ability to sell movies.

The enthusiasm for watching movies from south to north also made Li Luo's endorsers see opportunities. Anta and Qipilang quickly launched corresponding promotional activities, and Taobao's print advertisements were placed everywhere.

On the other hand, it is equivalent to advertising for Sha Po Lang.

Due to the success of the movie.

Li Luo's popularity skyrocketed.

Although they are all actors, the value of movies and TV is always different. Being able to kick open the box office door with movies will further increase the commercial value, and advertisers almost bombarded Lin Yue's phone with calls.

But Li Luo asked Lin Yue to refuse them all.

the reason is simple.

The reason why Anta, Qipilang, Baojie, Fantasy Westward Journey and Taobao are willing to pay high endorsement fees is that they are famous, but the main reason is that they don’t have many endorsement products.

Sometimes, scarcity makes things valuable.

If you advertise crazily, you can make a lot of money in the short term.

But in the long run.

Absolutely a stupid act.

This rising popularity has also spread from online to offline, adding a bit of excitement to the already hot summer.

Even if you hide in the classroom, you can still hear screams.

Wait until you have finished your makeup.

Li Luo walked out of the door under the guidance of the staff.

Seeing the tall figure, the screams that had just sounded suddenly became much louder.

At this time, Li Luo had already returned to the crew.

Today I came to Yu Feihong’s alma mater to shoot the campus love scene of Xia Chengnan and He Dan.

This should have been a very normal shoot, but his current high popularity brought a wave of happy troubles to the crew members, making them extremely busy.

Forget about the students in school.

After the news that Li Luo was filming here spread, high school students and fans from surrounding schools came over excitedly to join in the fun.

If you are not allowed in through the door, then climb over the wall.

Anyway, they just want to take a look, otherwise they will not be satisfied, so the campus is full of people running around.

The theater staff and school police took strict measures to maintain order.

"Hello students."

Looking at the crowd surrounding the playground, Li Luo picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Thank you very much for your enthusiasm. I am a little embarrassed, but I am so handsome."

"It's only right that you take a look."

"Hahaha."

In the corridors of the teaching building and under the shade of the trees, groups of students were laughing so hard that they were bent over.

People nowadays tend to be more reserved.

How could he be so shameless?

The sound coming from the loudspeaker made Yu Feihong laugh with joy, not to mention those 17 or 18-year-old students.

There was so much laughter all around the shooting site.

"But the crew still has to shoot."

Li Luo waved his hands around and bent down to signal, "Next, please help maintain order. After the photo shoot, Fairy Jinghong and I will take a group photo with everyone, okay?"

"it is good!!!"

The students' excited cheers made the summer even hotter.

After helping the staff relieve their stress, Li Luo handed the loudspeaker to the assistant director and strode towards the corner where the monitor was placed.

"Congratulations."

Yu Feihong handed over the newspaper in her hand and said enviously, "I guess your crew will be able to hold a celebration party soon."

"It's only been four days, and they've already sold 30 million!"

"fake."

There was no one around, so Li Luo casually broke the news to her: "This is a publicity stunt by the publishing company. Sha Po Lang only sold over 20 million."

As soon as he took the newspaper, Yu Feihong's fingers followed closely.

Pinch it hard.

Just, that's all!!!

I won’t talk about what happened later. Even with the current box office revenue of over 20 million, it is not something that ordinary people can sell.

"show off!"

After pinching hard, Yu Feihong finally let go.

"It's not arrogance, it's pressure."

Li Luo opened the newspaper and continued to drum at the girl: "I also know that my luck is pretty good. The script and cast of SPL are very good, and it is also a commercial film."

“The audience response was also very good, which is why we have achieved this little success.”

“There is still a long way to go before we can make money.”

"So you must control the budget for your next Love in the Next Life, and don't go for anything grand."

"listen to me."

He looked at Yu Feihong and said seriously, "It's best to keep the budget within 10 million. Don't learn from Jiang Wen. That guy's previous movies all lost a lot of money!"

“It’s fine to do art, but you can’t do it casually.”

"Ok."

Yu Feihong held her chin and said hesitantly: "I understand what you mean, I will think about it carefully."

After nodding, Li Luo turned his attention to the newspaper.

"SPL: Sha Po Lang" has performed well at the box office, breaking the 30 million mark in the first week. Is the action film market picking up again?

"Initial D is on a roll, grossing 35 million in just four days!"

Entertainment newspapers are filled with all kinds of news from the industry, and the box office reports of the two most popular movies are in a very prominent position.

Comparing with the situation of "SPL", Li Luo quickly came to a conclusion that the first-week box office of Initial D was most likely less than 30 million. Otherwise, based on Yu Dong's promotional method, it should have been written as 40 million.

'In fact, I was cautious about Sha Po Lang before.'

'The reason is simple, it's because the local climate and water are not suitable.'

'There is no need to say much about Chen Daoming's strength, but in Infernal Affairs he also showed a strong sense of separation.'

'In fact, let alone getting a high box office, I even doubted whether Li Luo could fit into the atmosphere of Hong Kong films, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good! '

'His performance in the film was not at all inconsistent. He played well with Simon Yam in the drama and was on par with Sammo Hung in the martial arts scenes.'

'For mainland actors, this is a very difficult thing.'

'And Li Luo.'

'He succeeded in doing that.'

'The delicate performance and fierce fighting in SPL are completely different from his previous TV series, and he delivered a very satisfactory answer to the audience.'

'It's no surprise that we have achieved this result now.'

'Congratulations, Li Luo.'

'I hope he can go further and further on the road of his dream and bring us more surprises.'

See this report.

Li Luo blinked in surprise.

A few days after the movie was released, film reviews began to come out.

But I didn't expect the reviews for myself would be so good. I quickly glanced down and saw the reviews about Initial D among them. Overall, there were mixed reviews, and Jay Chou was criticized the most.

Poor acting is the point.

However, for someone with little acting experience, Li Luo thinks that Jay Chou’s performance in Initial D is pretty good.

As for "SPL", it has generally received good reviews.

The film breaks away from the inherent stereotypes of the Hong Kong police, and each character is vivid.

From the perspective of a film critic, of course I would prefer a movie like "SPL" which has more depth.

But such good reviews still surprised him.

Even if you buy a manuscript, you can't get this level of quality, otherwise Initial D wouldn't have been criticized. The cost invested there is obviously much higher than that of SPL.

"You're in luck."

Yu Feihong noticed his expression and said leisurely, "In recent years, a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have conquered the mainland with various films and swept the box office everywhere, which actually makes many people feel extremely aggrieved."

"But you are a special case."

"He is a pure mainland actor, and he is a professional actor, but he has made great achievements in the field of action movies, which is the best field in Hong Kong."

“It gives people a sense of regaining a breath of fresh air.”

"Understand?"

With a pursed smile, Sister Feihong tapped the intercom in her hand and said, "You helped many people get back their dignity. Naturally, they will not be stingy with their praises, and they will praise you a lot."

"I think the reason why SPL has such a good box office performance is due to some psychological factors."

“Usually I just watch those Hong Kong Islanders fight.”

"Now we finally have one of our own who can stand up and fight. It's always better to see our own children. Of course, I want to buy tickets to support them."

"But don't be happy."

Yu Feihong changed her tone and her face became serious again: "Some people feel proud, and naturally some people feel dissatisfied. I dare to bet with you that the Hong Kong film industry will definitely snipe your new movie."

“That’s their food range.”

"I'm not going to sit there and watch you rampage through the action film industry."

Yu Feihong's words made Li Luo look a little serious.

This is absolutely true. Although with Hong Yubao's relationship, those people in the Hong Kong circle will not use any shady tricks on him, but there is nothing wrong with fighting openly.

In fact, it has nothing to do with hatred. A dog will show its teeth when it sees someone snatching its food!
Not to mention people.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"

After thinking for a while, Li Luo simply said something.

Whoever wants to come over and touch it.

Just continue on your own!

He rolled up the newspaper and threw it aside.

Li Luo crossed his legs leisurely and squinted his eyes to look at the blue sky and white clouds, seeming not to feel any pressure.

Such a confident look.

Yu Feihong was stunned for a moment.

After spending just a few days on the set of I Love You, Goodbye, Li Luo and Bian Xiaoxiao boarded a plane back to Beijing.

It was the midsummer of 2005.

His life at the Beijing Film Academy will officially come to an end.

After a night's rest.

Li Luo drove to school early in the morning.

Park the car.

But he was in no hurry to go down.

I tapped the steering wheel and looked towards the familiar school gate. When today is over, I will come back as an alumnus.

Many people were taking photos next to the old school gate.

At the same time, some reporters came to join in the fun.

The camera on the shoulder records the scenes in front of him.

Let out a heavy breath.

Li Luo took off his mask, checked his appearance in the mirror, quickly pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked briskly into the crowd. This scene was very similar to when he took the art exam that year.

White sneakers, jeans, and a Saddle T-shirt.

The simplest dress.

But in the shortest time, it quickly attracted the attention of the people present.

There was a crackling flash of light, which quickly came towards him.

"Li Luo, smile."

"Please look over here."

"SPL's box office performance is going up all the time. Do you have anything to say to the fans who support you?"

Many reporters were even waiting for Li Luo to come over. After spotting him, not only did they press the shutter button, but some even rushed over with recorders or microphones to conduct interviews.

This summer, among the young male actors in mainland China, Li Luo is the most popular.

Even though it's already 05, Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties is still a standout among costume dramas. Not only is its replay rate extremely exaggerated, but its ratings are also ridiculously high.

Last year, it surpassed Zhang Zhong's Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils to win the ratings championship for costume dramas.

It depends on the situation this year.

Even achieving two consecutive championships.

Not only is he everywhere on TV screens, but his movies are also extremely popular at the box office. The male actors from his same batch are so envious that their eyes are red with envy.

"thanks for your support."

Li Luo clasped his hands together, smiled and bowed to the camera: "But this is a school, please forgive me, I will not accept interviews for the time being, thank you!"

He waved his hand.

He continued to walk quickly towards the school gate.

The reporters stopped in regret and could only take pictures of his background.

"Hello, senior."

"Li Luo, your new movie is so good!"

"It's a really cool fight."

The classmates he met along the way all greeted him, and Li Luo naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly. If someone wanted to take a photo with him, he would also take photos with his younger classmates generously.

Soon I met my classmates from class again, and we high-fived and fist-bumped each other. Needless to say,

Everyone excitedly went together to complete the departure procedures.

And received the bachelor's gown.

Finally, I returned to the classroom where I usually stayed.

"Brother Luo!"

A fragrant breeze blew over, and Huang Shengyi, who was wearing a bachelor's gown, gave him a big hug. To be honest, if a girl wants to look good, wearing white or black are both excellent choices.

The black bachelor's gown draped over her body makes the girl look fresh and pretty.

It is white and tender, and it is so eye-catching.

"Hahaha."

Li Luo patted Huang Shengyi on the back, laughed and gestured to the female classmates in the class: "I wish you all a happy graduation. Brother Luo will provide free hugs to the female classmates today."

"Those in need, please don't miss this precious opportunity!"

In the whole classroom, those pretty female students suddenly burst into smiles.

"I want to come!"

Bian Xiaoxiao ran over and hugged him with a smile.

Although the remark was meant to be a joke, the female classmates in the class, led by Bian Xiaoxiao, happily came forward one after another and gave him warm hugs.

Feeling the shapes, big and small, Li Luo couldn't stop smiling.

The male classmates saw him like this.

The envy in my heart.

Don’t mention it!

However, some things are just something you can just envy. If you are not that popular, you should not try to imitate others. If no one cooperates, it will be really embarrassing.

At the end of the hug, Li Luo pushed away Jia Nailiang who was trying to take advantage of the situation.

In the whole classroom.

The laughter almost blew the ceiling off.

The others also greeted each other and sat down in groups of three or five.

Chatting about recent developments.

Also imagine the future.

As soon as Huang Shengyi sat down, he hurriedly said something that was inconvenient to say on the phone: "According to the advice of my lawyer, I will now postpone my work as much as possible and try not to cause too many contract disputes."

"But because of this reason, Xinghui is very dissatisfied with me now."

"in my opinion."

"It's almost time for a showdown."

The smile on the girl's face just now faded a little, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's a knife if it's early or late."

"July, maybe."

“I am mentally prepared for everything.”

Bian Xiaoxiao naturally knew what had happened. She did not express any dissatisfaction with Li Luo's willingness to spend a large sum of money to help Huang Shengyi terminate the contract. Instead, she was full of support.

During these four years, she actually spent more time with Huang Shengyi than with Li Luo.

Even under Li Luo's guidance.

Some relationships are even closer than those between best friends!
"Let's show our hand."

She grabbed Huang Shengyi's hand tightly and encouraged him, "They were wrong in the first place, so it's no big deal. Don't be afraid, we are all with you!"

"it is good."

Li Luo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's just come clean. Communicate well with the lawyers and public relations personnel."

For this lawsuit.

Lin Yue took the lead in forming a top-notch team of lawyers and public relations.

To ensure nothing goes wrong!
"Thank you Luo Ge."

Huang Shengyi pursed his lips, his eyes filled with gratitude beyond words.

If it were just myself.

This lawsuit is definitely going to be tough.

As for Yang Zhi, after getting Li Luo's clear attitude, even though that person created opportunities for encounter again and again, he was still flatly rejected by Huang Shengyi, even if he had to choose a thigh to hug.

Why not choose one that is more handsome and stronger?

And I have feelings for myself.

Li Luo quickly changed the subject. Today was a sad day in itself, so there was no need to make things worse.

When all the students had gathered, Huo Xuan appeared at the classroom door.

"Teacher Huo!"

The shouts came in unison, and were exceptionally loud.

After four years at Beijing Film Academy, this group of free-spirited art students was gathered together in such an orderly manner for the first time.

"it is good."

Huo Xuan took off his glasses and wiped away his tears, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to attend your own graduation ceremony!"

This class teacher is very nice to them.

Many students lacked luck and ability, so no one was interested in them after the graduation drama. Huo Xuan did not hesitate to use his connections to help find opportunities to join the crew to film.

Help everyone get on the horse in the final stage so that they can give full play to their strengths.

There are indeed many people who are grateful for this.

People in the classroom stood up one after another.

Come in front of the head teacher.

First she bowed deeply to him, then strode into the sunlight.

"Teacher Huo."

After bowing, Li Luo looked at the head teacher happily.

"Let's go."

Huo Xuan patted him on the back, and the two left the empty classroom together.

"I graduate today."

Looking at the guys fighting in front of him, Huo Xuan slowed down his pace: "You must be careful in what you say and do, but don't lose your vigor and vitality, and keep going forward according to your dream."

"You're in trouble, or something's not going your way."

“Call the teacher anytime.”

"Although you have left school, you are still my student, Huo Xuan. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you vent your anger!"

"it is good!"

Li Luo grinned.

Perhaps this is the effect of a noble and upright family.

It really feels good to have a master who protects you.

Even though I can't use it.

But whether there is or not is two different matters.

Crowds of people gathered from all directions and poured into the school auditorium to begin their graduation ceremony.

As the freshman representative at the opening ceremony, Li Luo's outstanding achievements in recent years have made him undoubtedly one of the outstanding graduates of the Beijing Film Academy's 2001 class.

Amidst warm applause from the audience.

Li Luo stood up energetically and walked onto the stage with steady steps.

Together with other outstanding graduates, he accepted the graduation certificates handed over by the school leaders with both hands.

Straightening his bachelor's gown, Li Luo turned around and showed the certificate in his hand, giving his brightest smile to all the teachers and students in the auditorium, and welcoming even louder applause that belonged to him.

After the graduation ceremony, various group photos followed.

Amidst a burst of laughter, Li Luo rushed up to the most famous pyramid in the North Pole first, stood alone on the top of the pyramid and shouted with his arms raised.

The crowd gathered together again.

Three, two, one, the shouts of "Happy Graduation" rose to the sky and bachelor's caps were flying all over the sky.

To this youth.

It’s a complete end!
Sun Garden.

After a series of dripping sounds, the door clicked open.

The laughter suddenly flooded into the living room, livening up the originally somewhat silent air.

"Ah~"

The exclamations of surprise add a bit of youthful vitality to the fresh air.

Huang Shengyi, whose face was flushed from drinking, was picked up high by Li Luo. The girl's legs were shaking, and her whole body was taken into the house in a spin, a series of silver bell-like laughter came out of her mouth.

Bian Xiaoxiao snorted at the two guys and closed the door with a blushing face.

Because Huang Shengyi had to go to the capital every now and then to negotiate with his lawyer.

The house was kept very clean.

"When will you leave?"

Huang Shengyi held the handsome face in his hands, his eyes almost tearing.

"There are still three hours."

Holding her and sitting on the sofa, Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Xiao and I want to stay with you for a while longer, but we have a scene to shoot in the evening, so we have to go back to catch up."

"Okay~"

With a look of grievance, he pursed his lips and took the yellow clothes off him.

They are all actors.

Know that things cannot be delayed.

Since time is short, we must hurry up.

"where are you going?"

Li Luo let go of his hand in surprise and calmed his head, which felt a little light-headed after drinking at the farewell dinner.

"Big pervert!"

Huang Shengyi snorted at him, and then took Bian Xiaoxiao's hand and walked into the room: "I won't tell you, just sit on the sofa and don't follow me in."

With a turn of footsteps, the sound gradually faded away.

Li Luo leaned back on the sofa calmly and flipped through the unread text messages on his phone.

Ninety percent of the comments were congratulations on the box office success.

The word "thank you" kept coming out as he pressed the button.

The ding-dong-dong sound lasted for less than a minute. A crisp cough drew Li Luo's attention away from his Nokia. He then stared at the two girls standing hand in hand at the corner.

The casual clothes I was wearing just now have been changed.

Both of them wore baggy bachelor's gowns, and only bachelor's gowns.

The moment he raised his head, Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao both shook their long hair at the same time. The two people, whose faces were flushed from drinking, put their arms around each other's shoulders and stood sideways in a seductive manner.

The thin robes swayed with their movements, and the two pairs of long, white and tender legs made Li Luo not know where to look.

Two black spots are looming.

Large tracts of spring scenery continue to emerge.

Huang Shengyi bit his finger, then slowly pulled down his collar: "Brother Luo, I wish you a happy graduation!"

"Sigh~"

The slender thunderstone looked particularly white against the bachelor's gown, and Li Luo couldn't help but gasp.

On the other side, a corner of the bachelor's gown slipped off Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

Small half body.

It just appeared so clearly in the air.

"Brother Luo."

Bian Xiaoxiao stroked her delicate collarbone, her eyes full of tears: "I wish you a happy graduation, too!"

"hapiness."

Li Luo showed his white teeth and opened his arms wide: "Happy graduation everyone!!!"

"Hahaha."

Both girls laughed happily and with great satisfaction. They stepped on their bare feet, and rushed forward in their fluttering bachelor's robes to celebrate the happiness that belonged to three people.
