"I think a man's dream starts with a woman. Before I met my first girlfriend, I often gave another girl hot water at school. Later, I found out that she had a boyfriend, so I asked her, why did you let me give you hot water?"

A skillful pause.

The huge venue was packed with people, and countless eyes were looking at the center of gravity. Luo Xun looked helpless, but one sentence caused laughter from the audience: "She said it was to let her boyfriend take a break."

Laughter also came from the theater.

This is not a particularly funny joke, but Luo Xun is too good at speaking. From the grasp of people's hearts in speeches to the grasp of the atmosphere in telling jokes, he can hit the hearts of the listeners in their respective ways, so as to achieve the purpose of making everyone believe in this character.

Amid the laughter on the scene.

Luo Xun's expression gradually became serious, and his voice gradually rose several degrees as his emotions rose: "Although she rejected me again and again, I still want to see her every day... because she is my dream - what is a dream? A dream is something that makes you feel persistent and happy!"

The voice fell.

The whole audience applauded!

At this time, Deng Chao's voiceover came on. Meng Xiaojun, played by him, was actually drawing a little turtle in the audience when Luo Xun was giving a speech: "Twenty years ago, the person who gave a speech on the stage was usually me."

It seems to be a hidden meaning?

In short, the audience probably understood that this is a story about entrepreneurship, and it is a story about three good friends starting a business together. I am afraid this is also the origin of the name of this movie "Partners". As for the speeches, interviews with reporters, and cheers and applause after the red carpet at the beginning of the movie, they all show that the three people's entrepreneurship has achieved great success.

It's just that there are always shadows in the sun.

With the great success of the business, this English school called "New Dream" also encountered huge troubles. They were accused of stealing teaching materials by ees. For this reason, the three founders had to go to the United States to attend a hearing. This contradiction is like many people in China using pirated Microsoft systems at that time. It is a product of a specific era.

At the same time.

Among the three founders, Cheng Dongqing, played by Luo Xun, and Meng Xiaojun, played by Deng Chao, also had a rift with each other. At the hearing, the two faced the prosecutor's response to several times, which subtly pointed out the contradiction between the two.

"Mr. Cheng Dongqing. ”

Finally, the representative of the whistleblower mentioned Luo Xun’s name: “The school you founded can actually send hundreds of thousands of Chinese students to the United States. To them, you may be a hero, a famous godfather of studying abroad, but to me, you are just a thief.”

Obviously.

As the “godfather of studying abroad” and the principal of “New Dream”, Luo Xun is the leader of the three entrepreneurs, but watching the beginning of the movie, Cheng Dongqing’s timid bumpkin image, it is hard to imagine that the guy who told the visa officer that the person he admired most was Meng Xiaojun, actually surpassed Meng Xiaojun in future entrepreneurship.

The audience was curious.

The editing seemed to be able to see through the audience’s mind, and appropriately entered the flashback stage. This time it was Meng Xiaojun’s voice-over: “In 1979, Cheng Dongqing was just a loser, a loser who failed the college entrance examination twice.”

“I have to take the exam again. "

With Meng Xiaojun's voice-over, the camera turned to the scene of Luo Xun kneeling in front of his mother. The chairs on both sides were filled with the elders of the village. At this time, Luo Xun was wearing a worn-out and faded sweatshirt. His skin was dark like that of a rural person, and his temperament was honest like that of a countryman, but his eyes and expression were full of stubbornness.

The audience was even more surprised.

Luo Xun at the visa window was already rustic enough. Unexpectedly, Luo Xun, who failed the college entrance examination twice, had a different temperament. He was just like the nerd in the mountain village who was studying hard but didn't have much talent for exams. At this moment, even the audience who had no professional research on acting had a subconscious feeling, a feeling of doubt:

Is this still Luo Xun?

And in the seventh row, several men who were writing and drawing in notebooks looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. One of them, a man with ordinary small eyes, smacked his lips lightly and said in an incomprehensible way: "He has learned it all. "

The man's name is Zhou Yang.

He is the editor-in-chief of a certain film magazine.

He came to watch "Partners" with a mission. Before the film even started, he was shocked by Luo Xun's acting three times!

Three times!

The first shock was when Luo Xun was timid and wanted to apply for a visa, but was rejected. At that moment, Luo Xun perfectly showed the confusion and trance that most college students of that era had. His acting was so perfect that people almost ignored Luo Xun's good looks!

The appearance can be designed.

But the tone of voice, expression, and demeanor cannot be easily designed. It takes repeated speculation to get the feeling. This is where Luo Xun shocked Zhou Yang. Luo Xun actually caught the characteristics of the tail of the 70s. This is the most difficult part to play, called temperament.

The second shock was after success.

When Luo Xun stood on the stage to give a speech, he had already worn gold-rimmed glasses, his hairline was intentionally moved back, and his skin condition seemed to be loose. When he spoke, he was not as timid as when applying for a visa, but confidently wanted to fight the eagle in the sky. This is the spirit of a successful entrepreneur!

The third shock was at the moment.

With dark skin, stubborn expression, persistent eyes, shabby undershirt, and simple and honest temperament, at this time, he could not see the shadow of having gone to college in Luo Xun, nor could he see Luo Xun's state after becoming a successful entrepreneur - —

What he is showing the audience at this moment is very clear!

He is a loser who failed the college entrance examination three times!

This precise interpretation of different states of life has surpassed all the impressions Luo Xun had on Zhou Yang in the past. Zhou Yang didn't know whether it was because Luo Xun had acted in too few movies, or because his previous roles did not have room for this aspect. In short, he is now What he saw Luo Xun already made him stunned!

So he said, eat it thoroughly.

Luo Xun thoroughly enjoyed this role.

The guys sitting in the same row with Zhou Yang also had similar identities, including reporters and film critics. They also saw the subtleties of Luo Xun's performance in these states, so they made eye contact.

In terms of performance, it was a success.

Next, let’s see how the plot of this movie will develop. It is still in the flashback stage, which is quite good in terms of watchability. The concentration of the surrounding audience after being fascinated is the best proof. But after all, the movie has just begun, and many things are now It’s hard to say——

Zhou Yang is looking forward to this.
