Chapter 287 Gu Qing VS Old Deng (6K two-in-one)
……

……

at the same time,

Gu Qingqing's rendition of a clip from "SpongeBob SquarePants" unsurprisingly topped the trending search list.

Even more surprising is that
His mention of teacher "Wang Sulong" on the show unexpectedly triggered a chain reaction.

"My God! So the theme song 'Rings of Time' from the TV series 'The Journey of Flower' was written by Silence Wang?!"

"No wonder he called me 'teacher' so naturally!"

Fun fact: The ending theme song "Eternity" was written by Xu Song!

"Wow! QQ Music's three giants are almost all assembled? When will Liangzi join in a collaboration?"

It was 2016.
Wang Sulong, Xu Song, and Xu Liang, who were once jokingly referred to as the "Three Giants of QQ Music," now have a huge fan base that has grown up and wields considerable influence on the internet.

Their music has been an integral part of the youthful memories of a generation.

Gu Qing's unintentional "protection" instantly shortened the distance between her and this huge group, causing her popularity to soar and generating a constant stream of trending topics.

Previously, Gu Qing was criticized by some music critics and rival fans for "fixed musical style", "only taking shortcuts" and "not understanding popular music" because of his continuous creation of ancient-style songs.

These comments, like small thorns, have been stuck in the hearts of the "Gu family" for a long time.

Now that they've got the chance, how could the "Gu family" let it go?
"The internet has a memory; it's just a matter of whether we want to dredge up old grievances!"

Past comments mocking Gu Qing for "not being able to write pop songs" and "having a limited creative ability" were unearthed one by one, and many of these IDs even claimed to be fans of other male celebrities.

The Gu family's counterattack was precise and fierce.

The party that was slapped in the face could only awkwardly shift their position and stubbornly insist on maintaining their facade:
We're talking about 'creative' ability, not 'singing' ability!

"You keep bragging about how your younger brother is a creative genius, why don't you write a pop song yourself?"

"It can't be that you don't want to write, right?"

"It's not that I don't have the ability!"

This sophistry actually left some of the "Gu family members" speechless for a moment—because Gu Qing had indeed never "written" a single universally recognized popular song.

However, the reality check came faster and more dramatically than expected.

Another film released in the same period as "The Left Ear" is "I Belonged to You".
The creative team must be grinning from ear to ear! Is there any more perfect "manna from heaven" promotion than this?
The koi-like physique truly lives up to its name!

The production team, who were struggling to find a buzzworthy promotional angle, didn't hesitate to pour all their resources into the theme song of the same name, "Passing By Your World," written and sung by Gu Qing.

In an instant, the trending topics list was dominated by related issues:
#Gu Qing composed the theme song for Deng Chao's new film#
#RunningManBrotherhoodContinues,GuQingVoicesTheWorldPassingBy#
#Gu Qing's debut pop single is released with a bang#
The song title, "Passing By Your World," is clearly a popular love song!
"Didn't you say Gu Qing couldn't write pop songs?"

"The song is here! Fresh and hot!"

"Let's find out at the movie theater!"

Time flies, and the May Day holiday is just around the corner.

Cinemas were packed with people.

This year's May Day holiday saw only two films with real box office appeal: one was "The Left Ear" starring Gu Qing, and the other was "I Belonged to You," which is also deeply related to Gu Qing.

Other art films, such as "Me Before You" (a cross-cultural romance between a small-town girl and her paralyzed boss) and "Maudie" (the resilient life of an artist couple), were almost ignored by the overwhelming "double whammy" of Gu and Gu.

The cinema's film scheduling also fully reflects the market's choices:

"The Left Ear" secured a whopping 45% of screenings!
"I Belonged to You" followed closely behind, accounting for 35%.

The remaining 20% was allocated to the other films.

—A cinema in Shanghai
"Watch 'The Left Ear' at 5 PM, have lunch in between, and then watch 'Passing By the World' at 8:30 PM. Perfect!"

Xiao Juan, holding popcorn and a can of cola, scanned the QR code on the ticket machine to get her ticket.

She came to the movie alone.

Looking around, she realized that most of the audience members who came to see "The Left Ear" were fans of Gu Qing.

Some groups of girlfriends excitedly took selfies and checked in, while some guys who were dragged there by their girlfriends looked helpless.

Almost all pre-sale tickets were sold out, leaving only a few seats available for late-night shows or in remote corners.

Xiao Juan looked away, subconsciously adjusted her mask, and felt a surge of joy.

Since her all-night editing video featuring the couple Gu Qing and Chen Duling went viral on Bilibili, it has garnered 700,000 views in just three days!
She not only gained countless admirers in her fan group, but also earned a small amount of extra money.

In the video,
Gu Qing's subconscious gentlemanly actions (his hand hovering in the air, his playful way of defusing the situation, his natural way of getting closer) were slowed down and accompanied by the background music of the old classic song "Get a Little Closer," which brought the sweet atmosphere of pure love to the extreme.

Not only did it make solo fans proud that "the younger brother has such good character," but it also made CP fans obsessed with the song, and even the old classic background music became popular again.

This shows signs of becoming a hit song for couples.

Who says you can't make money as a fan of idols?
Ever since she started dating Gu Qing, she's been living the high life, with countless rich young women in her group ordering custom videos from her. Her life is incredibly happy.

Enter the cinema,

She found her spot—the corner of the second-to-last row.

To overcome her social anxiety, she even went so far as to buy the two seats next to her.

As Xiaojuan walked towards the back row, her gaze inadvertently swept over the area behind her seat—the three seats in the middle of the last row.

There sat a striking young man, dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt, wearing a black mask and hat, with a tall and upright figure and a clean-cut demeanor.

On either side of him were two girls, also wearing masks.

Although the lighting was dim and the full picture was obscured, the three people's exposed eyebrows and eyes, as well as their overall aura, made them stand out exceptionally.

"Shanghai is truly Shanghai... even dating here is so... prestigious?"

Xiao Juan thought to herself, feeling a little surprised by the "three-person" arrangement.

As she turned to sit down, the young man in the middle of the back row, wearing a hoodie, seemed to notice her gaze. He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of smiling eyes under his hat, and nodded politely to her.

In an instant,
Xiao Juan's cheeks, hidden under her mask, suddenly burned!

An indescribable, intense sense of familiarity washed over me!

Those eyes... the curve of their eyes... the clear yet slightly languid gaze... it's so similar... so similar...!
Her mind went blank, her heart pounded, and she forced an awkward smile, quickly lowering her head and shrinking into her seat, her movements stiff and unnatural.

"Impossible, impossible... It must be an illusion!"

"They probably just look alike."

She tried desperately to comfort herself, but the shock of that fleeting glimpse lingered.

As the lights went out completely and the movie began, Xiao Juan finally managed to focus her attention on the big screen.

At the beginning of the film,
The story focuses on Li Bala (played by Ma Sichun) boldly pursuing Zhang Yang (played by Ou Hao), who already has a girlfriend.

Seeing Li Bala, heavily made up and eagerly slipping a note to Xiao Juan, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Scumbag! Shameless!"

When they saw that Zhang Yang not only accepted the note but also secretly met with Li Bala, and the two were flirting intimately in a dimly lit corner,
She was so angry that she gripped the popcorn bucket tightly: "A pair of scoundrels! Neither of them are good people!"

Although the sound was soft, the young man in the hoodie in the back row seemed to hear it clearly in the relatively quiet theater.

He shrugged suspiciously, and the smile in his eyes above the mask deepened, clearly indicating his strong agreement.

However, his smile didn't last long.

The girl on the left, having clearly heard Xiao Juan's "comment," angrily pinched a small patch of soft flesh on the inside of the young man's arm across the seat back, threatening him in a low voice:
"No! You are not allowed to laugh!"

Being called a "dog couple" to her face, even if she knew it was a compliment on her acting skills, Ma Sichun couldn't be happy at all.

Gu Qing gasped in pain, glared at the person next to her, and subconsciously shifted her body to the right.

With that movement, his breath inevitably drifted closer to the girl on his right.

The warm breath brushed past her ear, and Chen Duling's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, her fingers resting on her knees curling slightly.

She tried her best to keep looking at the screen, but her ears were secretly turning red in the darkness.

As the plot unfolds, Li Bala begins to set her sights on Xu Yi (played by Gu Qing), the clean-cut and pure-hearted school heartthrob.

When Gu Qing, dressed in a crisp white shirt and bathed in the morning light, appeared on the big screen—

"Wow--!"

The entire theater was instantly filled with gasps of amazement!

"Little brother! So handsome!!" The female audience members' eyes instantly sparkled with admiration.

Even the guys who were forced to come with their girlfriends couldn't help but enviously admit to themselves, looking at that flawlessly handsome face on the screen, "Okay... he's a little bit more handsome than me."

however,
The following plot developments left female viewers feeling collectively heartbroken, while male viewers secretly rejoiced.

Li Bala launched a relentless "offensive" against Xu Yi, even stealing a kiss from him unexpectedly on the beach!
"Isn't this considered sexual harassment?!"

Why didn't you call the police?!

"This is disgusting! What did Xu Yi do wrong?"

"Zhang Yang is no better! Bah!"

"Thank goodness it was a kiss on the cheek, if it had been a kiss on the lips I would have called the police!"

The theater was filled with suppressed, low murmurs of complaints and resentment.

Ma Sichun, sitting in the back row, silently shrank his neck, almost wanting to bury himself in the popcorn bucket.

Sitting on the other side, Ou Hao also had mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy about his realistic performance or upset about being criticized.

Thankfully, Su Youpeng comforted him a couple of times, otherwise he would have really become withdrawn.

As Xu Yi becomes increasingly swayed by Li Bala, Li Er, played by Chen Duling, finally makes her appearance.

Shoulder-length bob, a clean-cut face without makeup, clear yet timid eyes, a figure walking quietly with books in hand... a fresh and pure campus atmosphere instantly washes over you.

"This girl is pretty! So pure!" a guy couldn't help but whisper in admiration, only to be pinched hard on the arm by his girlfriend, making him wince in pain.

Chen Duling looked at herself on the screen—flustered and avoiding Xu Yi's sunny smile, clumsy as she fell off her bike, and panicked as she ran away with her books in her arms...

Every detail made her so nervous that her palms sweated. She couldn't help but lightly poke Gu Qing's hand with her fingertip, her voice barely a whisper: "Xu Yi... did I... act well?"

Gu Qing kept her gaze on the screen, nodded slightly, and uttered two simple words: "Very good."

"Hmm?" Chen Duling didn't quite understand this concise evaluation.

Gu Qing turned his head slightly and gestured with his eyes to Xiao Juan in the front row, who was completely focused and showed no critical reaction. He said in a low voice, "The fact that this girl didn't curse is the best proof."

Chen Duling instantly understood, and the corners of her lips under the mask couldn't help but want to turn up, but she forcibly suppressed it.

I feel that laughing at this moment would be too cruel for "Li Bala".

After that,

The plot takes a sharp turn for the worse.

Xu Yi, who was once like a white moonlight, suffered a series of blows, including being deceived by Li Bala, the collapse of his studies, and the death of his mother, and quickly fell into depravity.

His clean white shirt was replaced by a stained T-shirt, and his clear eyes became empty and gloomy. He numbly typed on the keyboard in the dimly lit internet cafe, wandered around the smoky billiard hall, and even began to contact those "friends" he once looked down on.

"Oh my god... my Xu Yi!"

"Li Bala is disgusting!!"

"I can't take it anymore! Why doesn't this woman die?!"

"I really can't hold back anymore and I'm about to start cursing!"

The fans at the scene harbored even deeper resentment towards Li Bala and Zhang Yang.

The infuriating plot has finally come to a temporary halt.

Li Er met Xu Yi in the new city.

He embarked on his own path to redemption.

When they met again,
Xu Yi inside the bar was completely different from his previous sunny and cheerful appearance.

The camera slowly zooms in on the noisy, chaotic bar. Smoke fills the air, and the lights are hazy.

A listless figure slumped against the back of a booth. The camera freezes on the shot—

Silver hair!

Her meticulously styled yet unruly and messy short silver hair reflected a cold luster under the psychedelic lights.

On her pale, almost transparent skin, the small, dark red beauty mark under her left eye instantly drew everyone's attention!
Amidst the swirling smoke, those once clear almond-shaped eyes were now half-closed, the corners slightly upturned, their gaze hazy and dangerous, carrying an almost eerie charm and deadly allure.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

The entire theater was instantly filled with huge screams! These screams were different from the amazement at seeing the handsome school heartthrob; they were filled with shock, shock, and a kind of intensely seductive excitement!
"My God! Silver hair! A beauty mark under the eye!!"

"This is Xu Yi?! The contrast is incredible! I'm speechless!!"

"Help! This is too... too sinister! This look is absolutely killer!"

"My sexual tension is at its peak! My brother is going to kill me!"

Just then, Li Er, still as innocent as ever, carrying her books, burst into this bizarre world. Like a beam of light that seemed out of place, she pushed through the crowd with shock and heartache, heading towards that fallen soul.

"Xu Yi!" Her voice wasn't loud, but it pierced through the noise.

Xu Yi raised his eyes, and the moment his gaze fell upon Li Er, a fleeting, almost imperceptible, tremor flashed across his face, quickly replaced by a deeper chill and mockery.

"Oh, even good students come to places like this?" The tone was flippant and sarcastic.

Li Er's rescue has begun.

The following scenes are the warmest and most heartwarming part of the film. Li Er, like a resilient sponge, silently absorbs all of Xu Yi's resentment, decadence, and harshness.

She helped him tidy up his rented apartment, clumsily cooked (always burning the food), quietly accompanied him in the library (even though he was just sleeping), and stubbornly helped him catch up on his missed lessons.

“This problem should be solved like this…” Under the soft lights of the library, Li Er pointed to the exercise book, her voice gentle.

Xu Yi lay on the table, his silver hair covering half his face, seemingly asleep, but his eyelashes trembled slightly.

When Li Er frowned slightly as she explained a difficult problem, he suddenly reached out and gently tapped her forehead with the pen. His tone was still a little impatient, but it was no longer as cold as before: "You're so stupid, you can't even do something this simple."

Li Er was taken aback. She watched as he awkwardly turned his head away, his ear tips turning slightly red. She smiled, her eyes sparkling.

During a heavy rain, the two shared an umbrella.

Li Er's shoulders were mostly wet. Xu Yi frowned and subtly tilted the umbrella toward her, letting half of his own body get soaked in the rain.

Li Er noticed and tried to push it back, but he grabbed her wrist. Beneath his damp silver hair, his eyes held an undeniable domineering gaze: "Don't move."

Wow...so romantic!

"He says one thing but does another! He clearly cares about Little Ears!"

"I could watch this interaction a hundred times!"

"This is what a youth film should be like. I want to see sweet romance, not the youth of delinquents."

Satisfied chuckles and whispers rippled through the audience.

Xiao Juan's eyes lit up, her lips curled into a wide smile, and her inner voice screamed: 'Yes, yes, yes! That's it! This is the kind of daily life my Qingling CP should have! So sweet!'

Her creative passion instantly surged, and she had already conceived several sweet and interactive clips in her mind.

The emotions were elevated on a quiet night.

Xu Yi returned from work and leaned wearily against the doorframe. Li Er handed him a glass of warm water.

Under the dim light, their eyes met. Xu Yi looked at the girl who had stubbornly entered his dark world and brought him a glimmer of light, his eyes swirling with extremely complex emotions—

There was struggle, guilt, and gratitude, which ultimately transformed into a deep and indescribable emotion.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Li Er... thank you."

These few simple words carry so much weight.

Li Er met his gaze, her clear eyes filled with undisguised heartache, understanding, and an almost devout tenderness.

She didn't speak, but simply shook her head slightly, a warm smile curving her lips.

"My God! That look in his eyes!!!"

"It's stretchy! It's definitely stretchy!"

"So sweet! This silent gaze speaks volumes, it's even more touching than a kiss!"

"I bet a hundred bucks! Xu Yi has definitely fallen in love with Xiao Erduo!"

Xiao Juan excitedly grabbed the popcorn bucket and whispered to herself, "I guarantee she's definitely fallen for Xu Yi! That look... that atmosphere... it doesn't seem like acting at all! It's genuine emotion!"

Hearing this,

Chen Duling's body stiffened slightly, and she quickly glanced at Gu Qing beside her.

I noticed that his gaze remained focused on the screen, and the lines of his profile appeared serene in the light and shadow.

Chen Duling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes.

When the plot reached that crucial "kissing scene" in the rented apartment.

The atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous and heated.

Xu Yi gazed at Li Er, his eyes filled with a love that had finally become clear and intense after a period of struggle.

He slowly lowered his head, wanting to kiss the girl who had pulled him back from the abyss to the light. The audience's hearts were in their throats.

Xiao Juan held her breath, anticipating this "kiss of salvation."

however,
Just as their lips were about to touch, Lee I seemed to suddenly wake up, abruptly turning her head away to avoid it!
"what???"

"What's going on?! Why are you hiding?!"

"Why won't you kiss me?! I'm so anxious!"

"Are you crazy?! The atmosphere has reached this point!"

The theater erupted in chaos, filled with whispers of astonishment, confusion, and anger.

Forget about keeping quiet while watching a movie; everyone couldn't help but start discussing it after seeing such a blood pressure-raising film.

"Is the feeling of redemption not love? Has the screenwriter lost their mind?!" One viewer couldn't help but complain.

What's even more unacceptable to everyone is the ending.

After being rejected, Xu Yi left a farewell letter, carrying with him his love and guilt for Li Er, and left alone to atone for his past mistakes and seek true redemption.

The camera turns,
Years later, in a seaside city, Li Er unexpectedly got together with Zhang Yang, who had reformed his ways.
The two smiled at each other, and the image froze.

“WTF???”

"Where the hell am I, Xu Yi?!"

"Li Er, have you lost your mind?! You're giving up Xu Yi, who changed for you and truly loves you, to be with that murderer who ruined both Xu Yi and Li Bala?!"

"Is the screenwriter blind or just insensitive?!"

"I can't accept this! What kind of shitty ending is this?!"

"Give me my money back! I'm so angry!"

The theater erupted like a pot of boiling oil after a bucket of cold water had been poured in! Complaints, curses, and incredulous discussions instantly drowned out the end credits.

A girl in the front row got so angry that she threw the half-full bucket of popcorn on the ground.

Xiao Juan was also stunned. Her sweetness and creative enthusiasm were completely dampened by this sudden "feeding shit" ending, leaving her only with anger and frustration.

"RNM, refund my money!!"

at this time,

Before Xiaojuan and the angry audience could react, the theater lights suddenly blazed on, blinding everyone.

At the entrance, a smiling host holding a microphone strode in, accompanied by a cameraman carrying a heavy camera!
"Dear viewers! It's time for a surprise! Please don't leave yet!"

The host's booming voice echoed throughout the theater, "Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome our special guests tonight—the cast and crew of 'The Left Ear'! They're right here among us!"

Swish-!
In an instant, all the angry, complaining, and bewildered gazes in the theater focused, like searchlights, on—behind Xiaojuan.
The three figures wearing masks in the very center of the last row!

The popcorn bucket in Xiao Juan's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

She gaped, completely petrified.

"Is this true or false?"

She's been yelling for so long, surely everyone heard her?

"Your film review is excellent, truly outstanding."

Gu Qing stood up, took off her mask, and smiled slightly at Xiao Juan amidst the screams of the crowd.

at the same time,

Su Youpeng and his group on the other side also all stood up.

The crew of "The Left Ear" is giving fans a treat.

This is also a common promotional tactic for movies.

But this time, the result doesn't seem to be good.

Seeing the angry looks and expressions on the faces of the moviegoers,
Su Youpeng couldn't help but swallow.
