Who are you calling powerful?

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

Zhao Xue bid farewell to her classmates, entered the alley where her home was located, greeted her neighbors, and returned to her home.

"Grandma, I'm back."

"I'm back, wash your hands and eat."

Grandma Zhao has gray hair, but she is neatly dressed, holding a plate of dishes in one hand, and greets her granddaughter who has just finished school for dinner.

"Ah, braised pork!"

Zhao Xue was a little pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly washed her hands and sat on the small dining table. The grandfather and grandson finished their meal talking and laughing.

After the meal, Zhao Xue sensiblely helped her grandma clean up the table and wash the dishes. Grandma Zhao told her to do her homework well, and then visited the neighbor's house with a crutch to chat.

Zhao Xue was the only one left at home. Zhao Xue took homework to the sofa, then quietly turned on the TV and turned down the volume.

I picked up the remote control and played a few stations at random. At this point, they were basically broadcasting local news, and then followed by the "News Network".

Zhao Xue is not interested in current affairs and social news, and finally found "Entertainment Star World" on Shanghai Satellite TV. She still prefers entertainment and gossip.

"A few days ago, "Certificate of Voting" went to Thailand for publicity, and the princess of Thailand met the four main creators..."

"Yuanquan music album won an award, avoiding dating..."

"The launch of "A Dream of Red Mansions" will be delayed again, and it is planned to launch in May next year..."

"..."

Zhao Xue read a series of celebrity gossip with great interest, and even jotted down a few of them, planning to share them with her classmates tomorrow, and then came across a very interesting piece of news.

"The day before yesterday, a reporter from our station interviewed Wei Yang, the screenwriter and lead actor of "The Best of Us".

It is reported that Wei Yang is a sophomore student in the Acting Department of Shanghai Opera. During his freshman year, he combined some of his high school experience and his own imagination to write a script, which restored the hazy and pure study life of high school students..."

Along with the introduction, several clips of "The Best of Us" are played on the screen.

Blue and white school uniforms, messy and crowded classrooms, crowded playground, all kinds of familiar scenes instantly caught the attention of Zhao Xue, who is in the first year of high school.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yang's figure appeared on the TV screen, talking eloquently in front of the camera, telling his creative ideas.

"High school is the stage when everyone goes from youthful to mature. I want to show and portray the best youth and the best of us at that time through this drama..."

Zhao Xue didn't care what Wei Yang was talking about at all, she just stared at that fair and handsome face and muttered to herself.

"so hot."

"The Best of Us" is currently mainly on the Shanghai Film and Television Channel, and being able to appear on "Entertainment Star World" is just a brief warm-up promotion.

The total duration was less than two minutes, and Wei Yang's personal shots only lasted 30 seconds.

Zhao Xue watched the short news with some regret, but still remembered the name of "The Best of Us", as well as the broadcast time and channel given at the end.

"It will premiere at 8 o'clock tonight, hurry up and do your homework, and watch the show later."

Zhao Xue is very active. She finished the important homework before 8 o'clock, and there are some leftovers, but she will not delay watching the drama.

She was also thankful once again that her school did not have late self-study in the first year of senior high school, otherwise she would have to wait until the weekend to relax.

…

At 7:58, Zhao Xue, who was staring at the watch, tuned the channel to the Modu Film and Television Channel on time.

"The best of us

have bright and firm eyes

You said these things

Ordinary yet profound

..."

The ethereal and soothing singing sounded, and Zhao Xue sighed with emotion: "This song is so nice."

Flipping through her schoolbag and taking out her lyrics book, Zhao Xue found a piece of draft paper.

If you are proficient, memorize the lyrics from the back first, and then wait for the second episode to memorize the previous ones, and then copy them into the notebook in full.

In fact, in high school, many students feel that copying lyrics is naive, and they are no longer as enthusiastic as in junior high school.

However, Zhao Xue has never given up on this hobby, and also likes to write some analysis and thoughts on the lyrics in it, and has almost filled up two notebooks so far.

After the theme song is played, the Blue Whale version of "The Best of Us", which is different from the flashbacks of the original drama, directly enters the plot.

Geng Geng, the heroine of Yang Rong, is the first to appear on the stage, with short ear-length hair, a baby face, and a small stature. She is a young and cute girl.

In her narration, the background of the TV series is also revealed.

Zhenhua Middle School, a key high school in BH City, gathers countless elites of academic masters, and Geng Geng, the heroine who was born in an ordinary junior high school.

Because I ran into SARS during the high school entrance examination, the difficulty of the examination was correspondingly reduced, and I performed exceptionally well. I was admitted to Zhenhua with a narrow risk, and became the bottom student in this key high school.

"Xueba, the overlord of learning? Xueba, the scum of learning? What an interesting title."

Zhao Xue saw Geng Geng, the heroine in the play, calling those Zhenhua elites academic bullies and laughing at herself as academic scum, and immediately got the feeling of envy of good students and disappointment and helplessness towards herself.

"I shouldn't be considered a scumbag."

Zhao Xue, who claims to have average grades, was a little guilty, but her curiosity about the plot overwhelmed her sense of guilt, and she continued to watch it seriously.

The main perspective of "The Best of Us" is the heroine Geng Geng, and the first episode also revolves around her.

Geng Geng has an ordinary appearance (set in the play), and her studies are at the bottom of the school. Coupled with family disharmony and parents' divorce, she is in a low self-esteem and sensitive state of mind.

But at the same time, she is optimistic, sincere and kind, without self-pity.

She doesn't study well, but there are teachers and classmates who are willing to help. Although her parents are separated, they also care about her very much at the same time, so that she is always in an environment that may not be so beautiful, but is not lacking in warmth.

This kind of heroine setting is not only plump but not losing points, but more importantly, it is extremely realistic.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Xue even saw her shadow in Geng Geng.

My parents are divorced, my father is away from home all year round at work, and I live with my grandma. Occasionally I have low self-esteem, but I don’t make too much of a horn, and I am silly and happy every day.

There is more than enough and more than the next. I have a lot of my own troubles and a lot of my own happiness.

This "ordinary girl" status made Zhao Xue quickly develop a strong sense of intimacy and substitution for Geng Geng.

Of course, Geng Geng is the heroine of a TV series after all, so she cannot be completely ordinary.

In the class, she met Yu Huai, a handsome guy with a sunny personality and a carefree personality.

The two were originally enemies, but after the military training turmoil, they established a certain friendship. Yu Huai also offered to help Geng Geng, and became the same table with him.

"This Yu Huai is great. He studies well, looks handsome, and knows how to care."

A high school student like Zhao Xue has little resistance to this sunny and handsome school bully.

However, just when she was about to fall, Lu Xinghe, played by Wei Yang, appeared.

Frankly speaking, Lu Xinghe's appearance was not pleasing, he was sloppy, he had nothing to do, and he even deliberately opposed the teacher, a typical thorny student.

But I can't stand him being handsome!

Different from Yu Huai's sunny and fresh route, Lu Xinghe's handsomeness belongs to the kind of undisguised flamboyant, rebellious and cynical temperament.

Maybe some people are not interested in such a setting, but there are also many people who love to eat this.

Especially at the end of the second episode, Lu Xinghe and Geng Geng have an intersection, and the characters are more three-dimensional.

Letting the audience know about Lu Xinghe's rebellious appearance is more out of an unfortunate confrontation with his native family.

Lu Xinghe is like a hedgehog, with sharp thorns on the outside, but a very gentle heart, he will comfort his father's remarried Geng Geng, take care of Geng Geng who is not good at studies and is depressed, and encourage and praise Geng Geng.

This kind of contrast is very poignant, and it also makes the audience feel a little distressed for this character, and feels more deeply the kindness he released to Geng Geng.

At least Zhao Xue abandoned Yu Huai without hesitation and became Lu Xinghe's fangirl...
