The audience thought that this failed expulsion would be an opportunity for Mrs. An to accept Xiao Ba, and her heart knot was gradually untied. However, they did not expect that Mrs. An just couldn't bear to drive Xiao Ba out herself, but still put pressure on Professor An. After Xiao Ba accidentally broke a bowl in the kitchen, Mrs. An and Professor An had a fierce quarrel -
"I've had enough! Send him away tomorrow!"
"tomorrow?"
"You've been saying this for more than half a month!"
"sorry."
Professor An was silent for a while and then spoke softly.
He seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
At this time, the camera naturally switches to Xiao Ba's perspective.
Xiao Ba seemed to be aware of something. He looked through the gaps in the wooden board, in the world of black, white and gray, at Professor An's apologetic figure, and slowly stopped wagging his tail.
“No!”
"Don't chase it away."
"It's your dog."
"It has already identified its owner."
An audience member murmured, and there was even a hint of pleading in his voice.
Some of the more emotional female audience members were already looking at Xiao Ba in the camera with tears in their eyes and full of sympathy.
"… "
Yang An, who previously boasted that he had a high tear point, bit his lips and his nose began to feel sore.
He secretly glanced at Ye Hongyu beside him.
Ye Hongyu maintained the same state as at the beginning of the movie, with no unnecessary expression on her face, just like when she watched every movie—
Extreme calmness and rationality.
Yang An seemed to be reminded, sniffed, and suppressed some of his restless emotions.
On the big screen.
It's dark again.
As he did in the past few days, Professor An quietly got up after his wife fell asleep and brought Xiao Ba to the study.
He took out the canned dog food and dog snacks he had bought and gave them to Xiao Ba.
Before, he would not let Xiao Ba eat too many snacks because he felt that being picky about food was not a good habit, but today, he took out all the canned snacks at once.
"You can eat whatever you like today."
Professor An looked at Xiao Ba with a smile, but his smile was a little stiff.
Xiao Ba, who usually gets extremely excited when seeing these snacks, stared at Professor An motionlessly today, revealing a certain obstinacy and stubbornness.
It wouldn't eat a single bite of the canned snacks.
It's as if these things don't exist.
Professor An's eyes were a little moist. He picked up Xiao Ba, patted his back gently, and whispered: "Good boy, good boy..."
Xiao Ba didn't make any sound.
On those nights in the past, when Professor An secretly brought it into the study, he always had to coax it to be quiet to prevent the excited Xiao Ba from waking up Mrs. An.
But tonight Xiao Ba was particularly sensible. He didn't even whimper in grievance and lay silently in Professor An's arms.
At this time.
The camera turned slightly.
Outside the study, Mrs. An, in her pajamas, stared at her husband. She stood there for an unknown amount of time before she quietly turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Perhaps many people are particularly tired this night.
The next day? When Professor An woke up, the sun had already risen high.
The wife beside him? She's long gone.
Professor An suddenly seemed to remember that the dog was still in the study. He slapped his head in annoyance, and ran towards the study in his pajamas and with messy hair.
However, when Professor An arrived at the study, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Mrs. An was stroking Xiao Ba's head and watching him tenderly as he ate the snacks that he had been reluctant to eat last night.
Before I could say anything, the phone at home rang.
Mrs. An stood up and answered the phone. A kind voice came from the other end: "Hello, I heard that you have a dog looking for an owner. I am willing to adopt it. I like dogs very much..."
"terribly sorry."
In this sunny and relaxing town, ancient and peaceful happiness flows slowly.
Mrs. An looked at the anxious Professor An and said to the person on the phone with a smile, "Xiao Ba already has an owner."
Click.
Xiao Ba seemed to understand. He suddenly stopped eating the snack and actually held the snack in his mouth and brought it to Mrs. An's feet.
"Xiao Ba, she doesn't eat this."
Professor An laughed, and his body seemed to relax in an instant. The relief at that moment was as bright as the sunshine outside the house.
"thump."
Xiao Ba jumped up excitedly and knocked over a chair. Mrs. An's expression was instantly filled with anger: "Xiao Ba, get out!"
"Woof!"
Xiao Ba called out to her and ran away with the snacks in his mouth.
Mrs. An and Professor An looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Don't get up in the middle of the night anymore." After laughing for a while, Mrs. An warned, "It's your own study anyway. It's your freedom to let anyone live in it."
"You know?"
"I knew it."
The woman resolved her knot, but the audience couldn't guess whether she did it out of love for her husband or out of reluctance to part with Xiao Ba.
Maybe, both.
An audience member in the front began to wipe his tears and wanted to find some tissue, but he found some tissue next to his seat and couldn't help but smile.
Someone finally understood why the paper was placed here.
However, there was paper on every seat, which was a bit too exaggerated.
"very nice."
Yang An looked at Ye Hongyu, whose expression seemed to have never changed, and said in his heart.
He didn't notice that Ye Hongyu raised her lower eyebrow slightly.
The following shots belong entirely to Xiao Ba...
Xiao Ba is growing up little by little.
After growing up, Xiao Ba is still as cute as ever, and even more spiritual.
In these delicate and warm shots, the most simple and real emotions between humans and animals are displayed without reservation.
As Xiao Ba grows up, the movie does not even need to rely on human language communication, but only relies on gestures and actions to express emotions, which can make the audience feel the warm affection between humans and dogs.
Low-angle shots are increasingly used.
Black, white and gray.
The movie allows everyone to look at the world around them through Xiao Ba's eyes.
As Xiao Ba and Professor An spend their daily time together, countless warm emotions are already surging in the hearts of the audience.
Becoming Professor An's pet dog, the familiarity and tacit understanding between us grew little by little.
Whenever the professor took the train to go to school for class, Xiao Ba would always follow behind him, watching Professor An get on the train while he would squat on the flower bed opposite the train station for the entire day.
At first, Professor An often drove it away and asked it to go home.
Later, the professor discovered that Xiao Ba seemed to be possessed and would not stop until he saw him walk out of the train station again. So the professor had no choice but to give up and let it wait.
As time went by, even the uncle selling egg pancakes at the train station and the aunt at the newsstand got to know this dog who would take the professor to work every day and wait for him to come home.
Xiao Ba is very loyal.
Everyone likes it, and some people even send food to Xiaoba. Whenever this happens, Xiaoba will express his gratitude in his own way.
Yang An also likes Xiao Ba very much.
In front of the big screen, Yang An's mouth curled up as he watched Xiao Ba dig a dog hole under the wall to send the professor to work; Yang An's eyes moved slightly as he watched Xiao Ba rush up to the professor with his tail wagging excitedly after get off work...
Humans and dogs have an attachment to each other.
The movie is already halfway through, and no one knows what will happen next, but people won't be bored because the interaction and growth between humans and dogs are too bland. This is a feeling that those special effects blockbusters cannot bring.
It’s like after getting tired of eating big fish and meat, you suddenly feel the charm of light dishes.
But few people know that this is a sentimental trap carefully created by the movie.
The people who have the most say on this point are Yi Chenggong who is sitting in the ninth row, and the senior executives of Xingmang who have watched the movie once.
"Prepare to feel pain..."
Lao Zhou said to himself, and looked at a female audience member in the front row.
This female audience member is a representative of a medium-sized cinema chain. She raised her head slightly, as if she had eaten sweet ice cream in the summer, and her face was filled with warm happiness...
Old Zhou's eyes swept over the others again.
Everyone is like this, completely forgetting themselves.
