The past will change, the reality will change, but at least the cinema of life will never change.
Ning Ning always thought so.
"There seems to be a group fight in front." The driver's tone was a little nervous, "Are you sure you want to get off here?"
As soon as the voice fell, a person was suddenly thrown flying over and smashed into the car, making a loud noise.
Both of them screamed, conditioned reflex to bend over to avoid, and after a few seconds, Ning Ning slowly raised his head and looked carefully at the scene outside the car through the cracked window.
Outside the cinema of life is a mess.
There were masked people everywhere on the ground, some were seriously injured, some were slightly injured, but the lightest ones were lying on the ground and screaming, unable to get up for a while.
At the same time, more masked people rushed out of the cinema door.
Rush to the person blocking them in front of them - Boss Qu.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They screamed, waving the chair legs removed from the cinema as weapons, like dying people, venting their last madness.
The door of the car was suddenly opened, and the person who had been thrown into the car squeezed in from outside. It was a woman with thick curly hair and a fox mask with slender eyes on her face, panting: "Quick , hurry up and drive... it's you!"
When she saw Ning Ning, she was first surprised, then ecstatic: "As long as I catch you, Boss Qu will... ah!"
Boss Qu grabbed her hair, dragged her out of the car viciously, and then shouted into the car, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up?"
A dozen hands stretched out from behind him at the same time, some strangled their necks, some hugged their waists, and some passed by him and ran in the direction of Ningning.
Ning Ning was dumbfounded, watching so many hands reaching out to her.
"what-"
A scream.
One of the arms turned to ashes.
Boss Qu stood behind him, holding a mask in his hand. The mask that had just been torn from his face was fresh and warm. His body without the mask was kneeling on the ground, his body turned to ashes, his clothes and pants One by one fell to the ground and took the shape of a person. Soon the clothes and trousers also turned to ashes. When the wind blew, nothing was left.
Ning Ning stared blankly at this scene, and the other masked people also stared blankly at this scene.
"Go back." Boss Qu said coldly, "Don't blame me for punishing you..."
Before they could finish speaking, he suddenly froze and looked straight behind Ning Ning.
What did he see
Ningning also turned her head to look, and when she saw the Cayenne clearly, she was equally stunned.
Chen Shuanghe? Why is he here? Did you follow her here... Oops!
The roof of the car suddenly pressed down, and it was Boss Qu's foot that stepped on it, and then rushed in the direction of Cayenne impatiently.
He was still rushing in the middle of the road, his mask was on fire, a bright red flame that would not be extinguished, burned all the way from his face to his shoulders, his arms, and his whole body, he became a burning man, from mid-air. He fell to the ground, rolled a few laps, and crawled in the direction of Cayenne again. While crawling, he roared like a curse: "Why stop me, don't stop me, I've been a watchdog for you for so long, I've been waiting for 102 years...he's right in front of me!!!"
"...Mom! I really want to call the police!" The driver couldn't bear such an unscientific scene any longer. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the tires squeaked, and the car flew out, drove about three meters, and suddenly twisted to a stop. After a moment, the car door opened, Ning Ning stumbled down from the inside, took off his jacket, and slammed towards Boss Qu.
But can't put it out.
Those fires only burned him, not clothes, nor Ningning. At this time, Chen Shuanghe got down from the Cayenne, grabbed her hand, and hurried back.
"...Where are you running to?" Boss Qu was burned into a bit of confusion at this time. Through the mask and the flame, he looked at the two figures running away from the opposite side. Their figures became blurred in the flames. , became two other people, he murmured, "... don't touch my daughter, I'm right here, come at me."
A voice that was both human and beast-like sounded behind Ning Ning.
"Let go." She shook off Chen Shuanghe's hand and looked back.
A big fire.
The masked people screamed in pain. Those who wanted to run out turned into burning people. There was no way out but retreat. They cried, shouted and screamed, walking or crawling one by one, and returned to the cinema of life Inside the gate, and the moment they entered the gate, the fire on their bodies was extinguished immediately.
Only one person remained.
"One hundred and two years, one hundred and two years... I can't wait to pull..." Boss Qu was crawling on the ground, crawling towards them with difficulty, his body was burning and his eyes were crying, "You can't kill, at least let me bite One sip, just one sip... Let me get rid of my hatred!"
Ning Ning took a deep breath and suddenly rushed towards him.
"Wait!" Chen Shuanghe reached out and grabbed it, but didn't grab it, took two steps forward, and was forced back by Boss Qu's hateful eyes. He was really confused. He had seen this person before, no, this superman ? Why do you look like you hate him so much
Ning Ning walked into the fire tremblingly, the flames burned her legs, but it was cold, like a gust of wind blowing through her legs, she breathed a sigh of relief, the fire could only burn the masked person, not her.
She helped Boss Qu from the ground, he was too heavy, causing her to stumble.
"Dad, don't be sad." She said in a low voice, "I'm back."
"...Ah." Boss Qu struggled on her shoulders, then relaxed and called softly, "Ning'er..."
Ning Ning helped him into the door with difficulty. He wanted to go in together, but he stretched out his hand and pushed one forward and the other backward. Then the door slammed shut with a bang, completely separating the two. .
Ningning took two steps back, then slowly raised her head.
It seems like a movie theater of life that will never close, the door is closed, and every night a new poster is posted on the wall, and a blank poster is posted. Finally, there are the two long strings of white lanterns at the door. Starting from the last one, the lanterns are turning red one by one.
When the wind blew, two strings of blood lanterns swayed gently at the door.
"...What happened inside?" Ningning muttered.
A hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder, she turned her head, met Chen Shuanghe's eyes, and he said solemnly, "Give me an explanation."
explain? How to explain it to him? Tell him that the enemy of your grandfather just now was supposed to be burned to death, but now he seems to be half-dead in the cinema, waiting for you to come while serving as a gatekeeper
She was afraid that just after she finished speaking, the car from the mental hospital would come downstairs to pick her up.
"I haven't figured out what's going on." So she forced a smile.
"Really?" Chen Shuanghe stared at her suspiciously, "I see that you are very familiar with the person just now."
Ning Ning: "You are wrong."
"If you don't know him well, why would you rush into the fire to save him because of your unkindness?" Chen Shuanghe asked.
"Life is at stake, I did this to do good deeds." Ning Ning raised his arm to look at it, and then sighed, "It's strange, there's such a fire, why didn't I even burn a corner of my clothes?"
Chen Shuanghe hurriedly grabbed her arm and took a look. Sure enough, the clothes and people were all in good condition, and there was no trace of the fire left. How is this possible? Could it be that it was just a hallucination
He couldn't explain it, and couldn't get the answer from Ning Ning, he let go of Ning Ning's hand and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered the door, he looked back at Ning Ning, Ning Ning showed him an innocent look. expression.
"Since this movie theater is here, I will definitely know who opened it." Chen Shuanghe said coldly, "If you don't tell me, I will figure it out myself."
Who runs the cinema? Ning Ning's eyes lit up and took out his mobile phone: "You figure it out, please let me know, right, how much is your WeChat ID? Let me scan it?"
Chen Shuanghe: "..."
After adding WeChat, Chen Shuanghe sent Ningning home.
This time Ning Ning didn't plan to continue running around, rubbed the face in the mirror, she took off her coat, and was about to change into pajamas.
A piece of paper fell lightly from his coat pocket.
"En?" Ning Ning looked down at the piece of paper and slowly bent down to pick it up.
After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, her face became extremely solemn.
She has had many life movie tickets, but undoubtedly, this one in her hand is the most exquisite.
Its texture is a bit hard, not like a normal ticket, it's light like a piece of tissue paper. It was covered with a stamp, which was a bust of a woman with long, slightly curly hair.
Isn't that the woman who opened the car door and nearly grabbed her
"She secretly stuffed it for me?" Ning Ning hesitated for a moment, then threw the ticket into the toilet, and then flushed it away with water.
Don't accept the ticket from the staff unless it is a last resort - she still remembers her mother's instructions.
"The tickets in the hands of the staff cannot be accepted." Ning Ning murmured, looking at the small whirlpool in the toilet, "not to mention that the staff secretly stuffed it for me."
After processing the ticket, she returned to her normal life.
The next day, she went to Director Chen's house again, and Chen Shuanghe was also there. It seemed that because of the influence of yesterday's incident, both of them were a little absent-minded. After a few scenes, Director Chen was scolded for a while. With Li Shanzhu talking to them, Director Chen temporarily extinguished his anger and waved his hand impatiently: "I'll give you another week, you can go back and think about how to act."
For a week, this was the limit of Director Chen's patience.
If he can't meet his requirements again, he might really be replaced.
Ning Ning went home dejectedly. When he took out the key at the door, he was stunned and slowly stretched out his hand from his pocket.
In her hand lay a key and a movie ticket.
A stamp on the ticket shows a woman with curly hair.
"Why are you back?" Ning Ning frowned.
This time she simply burned the ticket with fire, and the ashes flushed down the toilet.
As a result, when he woke up the next morning, he turned his head sleepily, the movie ticket was still lying on the pillow beside her, and the curly-haired woman on the stamp was facing her sideways.
"What are you doing?" Ning Ning sat up, took the movie tickets in his hand, watched both pros and cons for a long time, and then pondered, "The reason why I can't pick up the tickets in the hands of the staff... Is it because I can't throw them away?"
Her guess came true.
After that, she tried many methods, such as flooding, burning, and airlifting to other places. Except that she didn't take it as a gift, she tried all other methods, but it was useless. The next morning, the curly-haired woman was still lying on her pillow, looking sideways at her.
"The last way." Ning Ning looked down at the ticket in his hand, then slowly raised his head and looked at the Cinema of Life in front of him.
In the past few days, in addition to handling the tickets in hand, she is studying how to play Xiao Ai, and occasionally she will take a taxi to the Life Cinema, but every time she comes, the door of the cinema is closed, and the posters on the wall are always blank. After changing it, the blood on the two strings of red lanterns has faded a little bit, like the blood has been dried, and it is no longer so wet.
How is Boss Qu? What happened to Shi Zhongtang? Ning Ning hesitated at the door, walked over and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"
No one responded. She pulled the chain hanging on the door. Unexpectedly, the chain fell to the ground. The door was unlocked.
Ning Ning held the doorknob and pushed it forward, revealing a small crack.
"Never evade fares!" - Ning Yuren's instructions flashed through her mind, and she took back the leg she had already stepped out.
Bending down slightly, she stood at the gate and looked into the crack of the door. It was dark inside, and she couldn't see anything. After a long time, a shadow appeared, which looked a bit like Shi Zhongtang. She opened her mouth and was about to stop. He was suddenly pushed hard on his back...
"Ah!" Ning Ning called out and fell into the door.
The masked people who were walking inside all stopped.
A red light shone on Ning Ning.
She slowly raised her head and saw that the entire screen was lit up, but it was not a normal white light, but a bright red light, like a red lantern at the door. After a while, a number appeared on it, it was 10, but the next In one second, it became 9.
The footsteps of dong dong dong went from far to near, and Mr. Qu stood beside her panting: "Why are you here? You... do you have a ticket on you? Hurry, hurry, any ticket is fine, hurry up and give it to me !!"
Ning Ning had never seen him in such a hurry, sweating profusely, unable to speak clearly.
She hurriedly took out her only ticket.
Before she could hand it over, Boss Qu grabbed it by himself, and said hurriedly, "One person, one vote, into... the protagonist's ticket?"
The number on the screen had already turned to 3. Boss Qu glanced at the number and tore off the ticket in his hand tremblingly: "It will be invalid if you enter... Ning Ning, who is harming you?"
"I don't know." Ning Ning sat on the ground blankly, "I was pushed here."
The moment the ticket was torn off, the number on the screen was exactly 1.
1 Stopped on the screen, no longer continued to go down, even the red on the screen gradually began to fade, from left to right, from red to white gradually.
The white light fell on Ning Ning, and she breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that she was in a cold sweat. Red light shone on Boss Qu.
"... being pushed in?" he murmured, and suddenly rushed out of the door.
