Chapter 57 Performance can strangle the heart
As everyone in the theater took their seats, the lights gradually dimmed.

The title of the movie appeared on the dark big screen——"Whiplash"!
After a simple opening, dense jazz drum sounds began to sound.

A soft, cold-toned light tore through the darkness of the entire venue, and along with the sound of drums, the names of the creative staff flashed across the screen one by one.

When Hu Manyin saw her name appear on the big screen, she inexplicably felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She also participated in this work!
Subconsciously I feel proud of it.

On the screen, at the end of a long and narrow corridor, a young man was sitting behind a drum set, playing the drums.

The camera slowly zoomed in as the drums sounded until Bai Youlou's face appeared on the big screen.

A white T-shirt is paired with jeans, but the T-shirt is already soaked with sweat, and the hormonal scent of youth is overwhelming.

"Feel sorry."

The camera turns and Long Ziqiang appears.

He was dressed in a standard suit and tie, with an almost expressionless face at first glance and a pair of eyes full of aggression.

The moment he appeared on the stage, he formed a sharp contrast with Bai Youlou.

The story begins.

The male protagonist is a music school student pursuing his dreams.

He has a slightly paranoid personality, and young people always like to immerse themselves in their own world, so he always has something on his mind.

"You have other options. When you reach my age, you will be able to see things more clearly."

"I don't want to look away!"

When he was picked as a freshman by the best band in school, it seemed like he had found the best moment of his life!
Joy, self-confidence, and realization of one's own talents and values.

So he took the initiative to invite the girl he had a crush on on a date, and everything seemed so perfect.

however.

The bald teacher, the band conductor, was able to grasp every measure, every note, and every detail accurately and meticulously.

Whenever there was even the slightest mistake, he would show off his "gentlemanliness" and scold the musicians until they felt ashamed. "Poisonous tongue" is not even enough to describe those harsh and vicious comments.

The protagonist's nightmare begins
From patient smiles, to verbal humiliation, and finally escalating to physical attacks!

When the chair hit the male protagonist hard, the entire theater seemed to gasp at the same time.

This sudden moment startled everyone.

The hero's dignity completely collapsed and he was completely broken into pieces.

Next, it's a story of a madman turning another madman into the same person as himself.
The teaching style is extremely high pressure and forced. The male protagonist had to go on stage even though he was covered in blood after a car accident. After the performance, there was no comfort or encouragement, only a cold "You're finished".

Even two people who look like a famous teacher and his apprentice can wrestle with each other while swearing at each other.

It's more than just hurting each other, these two people wish the other would die.

The clash between the two cold-blooded paranoids made the audience's scalps tingle.

The entire screening room was silent, and many people subconsciously leaned back in their chairs, as if looking for some support.

The feeling of fear and shock passed through the big screen and was vented so thoroughly that it almost made people forget to breathe.

Some performances can strangle the heart.

The pace of the whole movie is breathtaking. As the heroine, Hu Manyin had to sadly discover that the role she played in this movie might be difficult to remember.

But this did not make her too uncomfortable. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Bai Youlou who was sitting next to her.

There seemed to be twinkling stars in a pair of almond-shaped eyes.

But unfortunately, Bai Youlou didn't feel anything and didn't give her any response.

He just rested his chin on his hand and stared at the big screen, as if this movie, which he had edited himself and watched countless times, had taken on new meaning again.

It was not until the plot of the movie that the teacher and the male protagonist had a falling out after some things happened, and then they seemed to have reconciled again, and he invited the male protagonist to perform on stage.

At this point, almost all the audience felt that this was a very inspiring and inspirational movie with dreams as its theme.

The final ending is probably a happy ending where the protagonist fulfills his dream and laughs it off with the grumpy bald teacher.

They both fulfilled each other's dreams. Egg!
The plot took a sudden turn for the worse, as the bald teacher simply changed the song, severely screwing over the male protagonist.

Help him? Help Nima!
He was going to destroy him outright.

However, the bald teacher's madness was already unacceptable enough for the audience, and the male protagonist is even crazier than him!
He played the drums on the stage regardless of anything, and used his crazy performance to force the entire band to cooperate with him and start playing.

A madman personally trained another madman, and at this moment, the two souls seemed to resonate.

The bald teacher's face was hidden in the shadows; his solemn and majestic, ferocious and fierce expression was disappearing, leaving only a look of shock with his mouth slightly open, and then it gradually evolved into surprise and excitement.

All the people watching the movie, whether they understood jazz or not, felt shocked by the dense and exaggerated drum beats, as if they could forget everything.

What is true love and hate?

While wishing to kill the other person, he was still able to tremble in the same frequency with his soul.

The screen went black and the movie ended.

There is no explanation for any follow-up. There is no explanation as to whether the male protagonist's dream came true or whether his relationship with the bald teacher improved.

Of course, the first person who had the opportunity to ask Bai Youlou this question was Hu Manyin who was beside him.

However, Bai Youlou's answer was: "Does it matter?"

It's very important! I feel like the ending is completely unexplained!

However, just as she stood up with Bai Youlou and was about to go on stage to thank the audience, Hu Manyin discovered that the entire Lumiere Hall was eerily quiet, as if there was no one there.

But when she turned around, she clearly saw that the auditorium was full.

At this moment, Hu Manyin began to feel anxious for some unknown reason.

I bit my lip, my head was buzzing.

Why is no one clapping?!

How come no one applauds this movie?!
She stood there for five or six seconds until someone finally started clapping.

In the quiet hall, the applause was particularly abrupt.

Hu Manyin immediately saw that the person who was applauding was Section Chief Zheng.

At this moment, Hu Manyin, who originally didn't like Chief Zheng's movie style, immediately became very fond of him.

I decided that I would watch every movie of the other person from now on!
What a good man!
However, Chief Zheng's applause sounded a bit dull and lonely in the huge screening room.

However, it was only for a brief moment.

The applause seemed to wake people up, and like a spark that spread across a prairie, it became more and more numerous and louder.

The audience stood up one after another, and the overwhelming applause was like a sleeping beast waking up from the darkness and roaring.

Amid the thunder, Hu Manyin still couldn't walk.

But the reason for being dazed this time was completely different from just now.

It was not until Bai Youlou called her that she turned around as if awakened from a dream and ran to the stage using her hands and feet.

After he stepped onto the stage, the applause continued without any sign of stopping.

Hu Manyin clearly saw that Lu Wenyuan, who had been scolding Bai Youlou in her ear for a long time before, was clapping hard with a red face and thick neck. She was a little worried that this guy might get some damage to his hands.

Just this scene made her burst out laughing.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the ending song of the movie sounded.

A high-tempo English song.

But Hu Manyin could clearly hear that the singing voice was actually Bai Youlou's.

I subconsciously asked, "What's the name of this song?"

“The English name is On My Own.”

“Does it have a Chinese name?”

"Well, I like to call it "Promising Young People."

He is singing his MVP song to the whole audience!!!
