"Wear a mask."
Zhou Xiaoli reminded Zhao Yingchromium with her laughter.
As the most influential talent show in Qinzhou, "Blooming" has attracted a lot of attention every year. Zhao Yingge, the annual champion of this show, is still very well-known and can be easily recognized by fans in the cinema.
Today is Tuesday.
The day when the movie "Dragon Dance" was released.
Zhou Xiaoli, who had bought the tickets in advance, went straight to the cinema with Zhao Yingge.
This movie had a medium investment and did not have a top-notch cast, but there were many audiences who liked this genre. At this moment, there were quite a few people sitting in the theater where Zhao Yingchen was.
After sitting down.
The movie started soon.
Zhao Yingge and Zhou Xiaoli ate popcorn and watched the movie, feeling very relaxed.
The big screen lit up.
The story begins with a little girl and her parents traveling and accidentally entering a fantasy world through a magical tunnel.
This world is both beautiful and dangerous.
Monsters, ghosts, magical visions, a strong sense of fantasy and a colorful world are all around.
Come here.
Because of their greed, the little girl's parents broke the rules of this world and were captured by an old woman who knew magic. The little girl was left alone wandering in this dangerous world.
She was in danger several times.
But when she is about to be eaten by a beautiful but deadly snake spirit, she is saved by a powerful white dragon that can transform into human form.
But the little girl didn't expect it.
This white dragon is a subordinate of the evil old woman.
At first the little girl was afraid of the white dragon and even resisted it because the old woman was the white dragon's owner and had kidnapped her parents. But as the two got along, she was infected by the white dragon's friendliness.
Gradually.
The two became good friends who could talk about anything and experienced many things together.
However, the little girl was always worried.
She never gave up on saving her parents.
Feeling the little girl's desire, Bailong made a difficult decision. He betrayed the old woman and helped the girl rescue her parents.
but.
The moment he rescued the girl's parents, he himself was also subjected to the evil curse from the old woman.
turn out to be.
He was controlled by the old woman.
A white dragon must never betray its master. Once it does, the curse will take effect, and it will completely lose its dragon body and human form, and can only live in the deep sea for the rest of its life and cannot go ashore again.
He turned into a fish again.
A very large fish.
Enduring the pain brought by the curse, he flew in the sky with almost miraculous power, using his huge body to lead the girl, escorting her all the way, and taking the girl and her parents away from this dangerous place.
When you are about to reach the exit.
They passed by the sea.
The white dragon, which had become a big fish, could no longer hold on. He fell into the sea wailing, bidding the girl a final farewell.
This is a magical sea area with magical power that can make people recall the past.
Therefore, the movie tells the origin of this story in a flashback way.
It turned out that when the little girl was young, she once took the pocket money she had saved for half a month and prepared to buy her favorite snacks.
But when passing by the seaside, the little girl saw a fisherman selling a beautiful fish. She felt sorry for the fish, so she bought it and released it.
That fish is the white dragon.
Then there are the memories that belong to Bai Long.
When he was still a fish, after countless efforts, he finally crossed the Dragon Gate and possessed the body of a white dragon and powerful cultivation, as well as the human form he had always dreamed of.
He worked so hard because...
He wanted to find the little girl and repay her.
But he didn't expect that the moment he turned into a dragon, he was caught by the evil mother-in-law and forced to become the old woman's pet.
The origin of the story was beyond the audience's expectations.
It turned out that this chance encounter was actually a long-awaited reunion.
But what really made the audience unable to control their tears was a song that suddenly sounded with the memories of the sea: "The waves silently submerged the night, flowing over the corners at the end of the sky. Big fish swam through the cracks in the dream, gazing at your sleeping outline..."
Piano bursts.
The singing is lingering.
The cinema became quiet.
Hearing the song like the waves beside his ears, Zhao Ying's action of bringing the popcorn to his mouth froze at this moment, as if he was hit by something for an instant, and he was stunned.
"I'm afraid you'll fly away
I'm afraid you'll leave me
I'm afraid you'll stay here forever.
Every tear
All flowing towards you
Flowing back into the seabed of the sky…”
Big Fish and the girl said goodbye reluctantly, the song and the story echoed each other, and the next moment, the harmony, which was almost extremely beautiful, surrounded everyone's ears, as if it came from the mysterious world in the movie. How many people felt their scalps tingling at this moment.
"hiss."
Some audience members in the theater began to sob softly. Zhou Xiaoli, who was on Zhao Ying's right, took out tissues, but had used up half of the pack in a blink of an eye. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
The cinema grew quieter.
This song at the end of the movie, combined with the movie, is a heavy tear-jerker, and the harmony part of the song completely detonates this tear-jerker, leaving no one in the entire theater unscathed.
Friendship
love
The movie never makes this clear, but when the big fish returns to the sea, with only its broad back visible in the setting sun as it drifts away, the girl is still desperately waving goodbye amidst her raging tears.
Far away on the horizon.
The big fish dived to the bottom of the sea.
The end of the movie is also the end of this song, and the last line of the lyrics with a trembling voice is like a sharp dagger, completely piercing the hearts of countless viewers: "Every drop of tears... flows towards you... flows back... to our first encounter..."
…
When the movie's ending credits appeared, no one left the theater. In the slightly sour atmosphere, there were many discussions, but most of the discussions were accompanied by a strong nasal tone, similar to crying:
"I held back my tears for more than an hour, but in the end I was defeated by a song."
"Every line of the lyrics was like a knife, stabbing me straight in the heart. The last line was a direct critical hit, and I died."
"I doubt I'll have the courage to watch this movie again unless I cut that last song."
"Who wrote this song? My tears are free!"
"I now suspect that the entire movie is the music video for the last song."
"… "
There was also a woman with red eyes teasing the man next to her: "Husband, didn't you say you never cry when watching movies? Didn't you say you hate sentimental movies the most? So-called sentimental movies are the professional techniques used by directors to trick the audience into crying? Why are you crying like this?"
“I didn’t actually cry during the movie… until I heard this song.”
This is a man's last stubbornness.
"The paper is used up. Do you have any more?" Zhou Xiaoli rubbed her nose and poked Zhao Yingge's arm with her arm.
Zhao Yingchen pretended not to hear anything, his red eyes fixed on the final credits of the movie.
"What are you watching? The movie is over."
Unable to find a tissue, Zhou Xiaoli could only wipe her tears with her sleeves.
Zhao Yingke still didn't respond until she saw the last subtitles of the movie, which was the information she had been looking for since the end of the movie -
Interlude/Impression/Soundtrack/Ending Song: "Big Fish"

Composer: Teacher Xianyu
Special thanks to: Teacher Xianyu
"Big fish..." She murmured these two words, and then, she seemed to recall something, and a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on her face:
"Envy the fish, envy the fish!"
Zhou Xiaoli, who had just finished crying, asked in a nasal voice, "What's Xianyu? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"I envy you so much!"
Zhao Yingge's voice trembled a little: "The soundtrack of this movie was written by Xianyu. Was the song sent by Xingmang today written by Xianyu?"
Zhou Xiaoli woke up as if from a dream: "It seems to be..."
Zhao Yingchen stood up suddenly: "Let's go back and listen to music!"
