Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 21 Su Yao's Shock, You Really Know How to Make Movies
'This running buddy is me, my name is Xia Luo.'
'I, who should have been very dashing today, was made...'
'...Stupid by my wife!'
The humorous opening, performed with professional acting skills, was very well done.
"Quite interesting..."
Su Yao's lips curled up slightly.
A good movie opening determines the audience's desire to continue watching.
And this funny opening made Su Yao unconsciously guess how it would develop next.
"It wouldn't be the cliché of the male lead being slapped in the face in public and then making a comeback, would it?"
Most viewers watching *Goodbye Mr. Loser* for the first time thought so.
However, the development of events would far exceed their expectations!
Inside the toilet, a drunken Xia Luo pushed open the door.
In the strong light, it was difficult to distinguish between reality and dream.
And everything presented outside the door left the audience stunned.
Neat old desks, stacks of high textbooks, and young and energetic faces.
All indicated that the male lead was dreaming.
After that, hitting the teacher, and—
'Da Shachun! What are you doing!'
'Teacher Wang... Teacher Wang, do you think my shoes look good?'
The expressive emotional delivery and acting made the audience laugh heartily.
Back then, they had all had similar fantasies, more or less.
And what was shown in the movie evoked the memories in the depths of their minds, and the laughter was tinged with a little understanding.
Su Yao also laughed.
She had originally planned to analyze this movie from the perspective of a film critic.
Unconsciously, she had already been drawn into the movie, and her mood was extremely relaxed.
This was the best state of viewing.
Then, Xia Luo buried his face in the water, and the memory flashed.
Just when the audience thought the dream was about to end, Xia Luo found himself still in the dream.
The campus belle Qiu Ya forcibly kissing him, and the classmates looking at him like an 'idiot', all indicated that he had not 'woken up'.
Some viewers realized that things were starting to go wrong.
'Zhang Yang, give me a light!'
'If I don't smoke, where will my smoke come from?'
The audience burst into laughter again.
Then, the curtains caught fire.
And the appearance of Xia Luo's mother, and the dialogue with Xia Luo, instantly made some viewers' eyes red.
They also had some words they wanted to say to their loved ones.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
In the end, Xia Luo chose to jump off the building in order to wake up as soon as possible.
Bang—
The big screen went black for two seconds.
"He should be awake now, right?"
Just as the audience thought so, Xia Luo's mother appeared in front of the camera again.
Instantly, all the viewers realized that something was wrong.
And the scenes that followed, as well as the BGM 'AD 1997', confirmed their guess.
The male lead, Xia Luo, was reborn!
Reborn into his high school days.
This scene that countless people had fantasized about was now presented in the form of a movie, in front of all the viewers!
Even Su Yao was a little uneasy.
"If I could be reborn, I wouldn't have to suffer so much..."
She murmured, then looked at Lu Xuan beside her.
Lu Xuan noticed her gaze, turned his head and smiled lightly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Su Yao tucked the hair at her temples behind her ear, revealing her delicate earlobe, and said in a low voice.
"I just think the concept of this movie is very interesting."
"And you filmed it very well."
She evaluated with a serious expression.
The movie had now been playing for twenty minutes.
In these twenty minutes, Su Yao did not feel disconnected at all!
And every shot made her feel extremely comfortable.
Even the acting skills of each actor, in the eyes of this former queen, were worthy of praise.
You must know that these actors are still students!
The biggest reason for being able to perform to this extent was the director's credit.
All of this was a great test of the director's skills!
Without an experienced director, it would be impossible to lead a group of rookies to produce such an effect.
Lu Xuan smiled, "Not at all, just a little understanding."
"It's really good."
This was the first time Su Yao had doubted the outside world's evaluation of Lu Xuan's abilities.
Based on the effects and content the movie had shown so far, she could not see the shadow of a 'box office poison' at all.
Or... had the former genius director returned?
The movie continued.
Su Yao suppressed her curiosity about Lu Xuan's talent and looked up to continue watching the movie.
'To be honest with you all, Xia Luo has no father since he was a child. As soon as Xia Luo was born, Xia Luo's father went missing!'
'Auntie, I can especially understand you!'
'My father's name is Ma Dong, and my father was gone as soon as I landed on the ground, so my name is Ma Dongmei!'
The name gag made the audience laugh again.
This kind of natural humor was most likely to evoke people's laughter.
At this time, a viewer nodded thoughtfully, "I understand! Aristotle's father is called Aristo, he totled!"
"So his name is Aristotle?"
"Pfft—"
Talented viewers were everywhere, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Then, the classic "Yi Jian Mei" appeared, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
And the scene of Xia Luo playing "Those Flowers" solo in the room also heralded that the male lead's life was about to change.
Everyone had been laughing until the male lead sang "Once Upon a Time" on the radio, when a small climax arrived.
—
Once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword
To see the prosperity of the world
—
It was obviously a cover.
But different from the original singer's unique voice, it made all the audience feel a burst of surprise.
"He sings really well, I feel like it sounds even better than the original?"
"Yeah, it sounds really good!"
Following the singing, the audience showed intoxicated expressions.
At the same time, the recognition of the cover singer, and the sense of satisfaction brought by the movie, made a certain emotion of the audience reach a climax at this moment.
They all substituted themselves into it and sang along softly.
If they could also return to their former high school campus with memories.
Singing these once popular songs again, they would definitely be able to attract the attention of that girl.
In that case... the ending of the story might be completely different.
A truly good movie goes deep into the hearts of people.
At this moment, *Goodbye Mr. Loser* did this.
'Get out then!'
'So you're the one called Xia Luo?!'
'Who is Dong Shi? Why does she urinate so frequently?'
'Is it... as long as I promise to go to the grove with you, you will let Xia Luo go?'
In the BGM "A Person Who Loves You Is Not Easy," the audience's laughter gradually subsided.
The movie entered a new stage.
