At this moment, a special kind of tacit understanding seemed to have developed between Jiang Zhiyuan and Feng Zhongliang. Feng Zhongliang watched his figure turn out of the corner of the theater, opened the door and went out.
The noise outside was overwhelming. Jiang Zhiyuan walked through the crowd and went down the emergency stairs.
After coming out of the cinema, Jiang Zhiyuan touched his suit pocket, took out the cigarette that he had extinguished before finishing it, and took out a match to light it again.
In the shadow of the corner, he watched the flame on the cigarette light up, and every time it was about to go out, he blew on it, watching the flame become brighter and the cigarette burn faster.
His face looked somewhat calm in the firelight until the cigarette butt burned down.
I heard that Jiang Se would be on the sixth floor tonight, promoting "A Glimmer of Hope". He looked up at the building. He was wearing an old suit and seemed to be blocked in the past, seeming a little out of place in this luxurious building.
His daughter was so close, but he couldn't get closer.
To Jiang Se, he was like a lit cigarette butt. No matter how hot it was, it would hurt her if he got too close.
The more famous she became, the less she could expose the fact that she had a father like herself.
His expression became even colder. He pinched the burning cigarette butt with his fingers. There was a burning pain at his fingertips. He could almost hear the sizzling sound and the smell of burning when his skin touched the flame. But he seemed to feel no pain. After squeezing out the cigarette butt, he carefully put it into the folded paper and put it back into his pocket.
Feng Zhongliang asked him: Do you like Sun Wukong
He likes it. No matter how many transformations he has, no matter how powerful he is, there is still a golden hoop that can control him in the end.
Regardless of whether she knew that she had a father or not, regardless of whether she still recognized herself or not, she was his daughter, and she was his weak spot that made him willing to be controlled by her.
If his lawlessness was a thorn in his flesh that would hurt his daughter, then he was willing to put aside the past and just hope that she would be well.
Feng Zhongliang sat in the cinema for a long time. Jiang Zhiyuan had been gone for quite a while, but he was still staring at the screen and didn't want to get up.
Feng Zhongliang was not awakened until Xiao Liu became worried and concerned about his safety and called to ask about him.
"Old man, are you okay?"
There was undisguised concern in Xiao Liu's voice.
In the first half of his life, Feng Zhongliang was very serious and strict with himself, and also with the people around him.
In the second half of his life, because of his disappointment with the Feng family, he became unreasonable in the eyes of others, and he became too distant and unkind to his relatives.
There are many people who fear him, and quite a few who respect him, but there are only a few who care about him.
"What's wrong with that?"
He said calmly, but his tone was not cold.
"Where's Jiang Zhiyuan?"
Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his voice. He was really worried about letting Feng Zhongliang and Jiang Zhiyuan be alone together, but the old man was too stubborn and Xiao Liu had no way to deal with him.
When the two of them were watching "A Glimmer of Hope" inside, he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, soaking his shirt.
"Leave."
Feng Zhongliang decided to watch "A Glimmer of Hope" again. The first time he watched it was to follow Jiang Se in recalling the past and to empathize with her feelings at that time. The second time he watched it was because he wanted to see his granddaughter's acting skills.
He told Xiao Liu the news on the phone and reminded him:
"Please call Miss Jiang later and ask her to take me home after the premiere ceremony." He paused for a moment and ordered:
"Go back first and don't wait for me."
"How can that be possible?"
When Xiao Liu heard what he said, he became anxious again.
The old man has been becoming more and more willful recently. Before he could retort, Feng Zhongliang hung up the phone on him, not giving him the chance to nag anymore.
When Xiao Liu called again, Feng Zhongliang no longer answered his phone. With no other choice, he had to follow Feng Zhongliang's instructions and call Jiang Se again.
Jiang Se should be at the premiere ceremony at this time. The call was answered by her assistant Mo Anqi, and the sound of a movie screening came from the other end.
Xiao Liu explained Feng Zhongliang's instructions, and Mo Anqi promised to pass the news to Jiang Se as soon as possible. Xiao Liu hung up the phone, but still didn't dare to leave. He decided to let the bodyguard drive later. He followed behind Jiang Se's car and followed them.
After the movie was shown at the premiere, it received warm applause from the audience.
If Cheng Jianguo's sudden repentance and heroic act of saving the damsel in distress were like new wine in an old bottle, in Zhang Jing'an's hands, the wine was given a new look.
Not to mention the tacit understanding between the two leading male and female actors after their collaboration again, Jiang Se's performance in this movie has surpassed the role of Zhang Yuqin in "The Devil" in the eyes of professional film critics.
She portrayed Tang Jing's demeanor at every stage appropriately, neither adding facial expressions presumptuously nor losing her composure at critical moments.
In this movie, in Shu Payne's opinion, her performance can no longer be described as acting.
Even though he is old, his concentration and eyesight are extraordinary. In several shots of Tang Jing, his eyes and body language can easily bring Shu Payen into the scene and carefully savor her mood at that time.
It was not until the end of the movie, and the words of thanks to the behind-the-scenes staff and the film investors were displayed, that Shu Payen and the people who came to participate in the premiere of "A Silver Lining" tonight came back to reality. Only then did everyone realize that they had just watched a movie, and not experienced a thrilling kidnapping with Tang Jing.
With the movie having been performed to such an extent, Shu Peien can already guess what kind of discussion Jiang Se will stir up after "A Glimmer of Hope" is released at midnight.
"Thunder."
The prolonged applause in the venue was enough to prove that "Silver Linings Point" will once again conquer the film market and may even sweep the movie box office, becoming this year's box office miracle.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Mo Anqi slipped to where Jiang Se was sitting and whispered the news that Xiao Liu had said when he called her earlier:
"…Uncle Liu said that Mr. Feng asked you to wait for a while after the event. He wants you to take him back."
"Is Grandpa also at the cinema?"
Jiang Se clapped with the audience and couldn't help asking questions after listening to Mo Anqi's speech.
She originally thought that Feng Zhongliang refused her request to accompany her to the premiere and might not watch the movie "A Glimmer of Hope" again.
But she didn't expect Feng Zhongliang to come here quietly and ask to go back with her.
She couldn't help but turn around and complain quietly to Pei Yi:
"Grandpa, since you're here, why don't you accompany me to the premiere?"
She was somewhat puzzled. Pei Yi shook her hand and seemed to be thinking:
"Maybe there are some movies that Grandpa Feng feels he would like to watch alone." (To be continued)
