Zhou Chao and the others took the elevator to the Bl and found the cinema entrance packed with people. Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and squeezed their way inside.
“This place is so huge!” They entered the cinema and started looking for their seat numbers.
“VIP 13, number 13! Brother Chao, it’s over there!” Zhou Chao followed Jiang Li’s hand and spotted a person standing at the entrance – it was Yu Qian’s disciple, Xiao Long!
Xiao Long, standing at the entrance, had sharp eyes and immediately recognized Zhou Chao and Jiang Li in the crowd. Even though they were wearing masks, Xiao Long could still identify Zhou Chao. He quickly walked towards them.
“Mr. Zhou, hello!” Xiao Long greeted Zhou Chao enthusiastically.
“Don’t be so formal, Xiao Long. We’re not strangers. Acting like this will make others laugh at us. Let’s go inside,” Zhou Chao stopped Xiao Long, mindful of his online reputation. If Xiao Long bowed to him, it might end up on a short video platform tomorrow.
“Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please go ahead.” Xiao Long was quite adept at this and addressed Jiang Li as Mrs. Zhou, which was spot-on.
Zhou Chao and Jiang Li followed Xiao Long inside and realized that the screening hall was quite large. There weren’t many people seated yet, probably because the red carpet event hadn’t started.
“Mr. Zhou, would you like to sit in the front row?” Xiao Long learned from his master Yu Qian that the handsome man in front of him was incredibly wealthy, so he planned to seat them in a prominent location.
“No need, Xiao Long. We appreciate your kindness, but let’s sit in the last row, where we won’t attract attention,” Zhou Chao said as he led Jiang Li to the back. Xiao Long had no choice but to go along with Zhou Chao’s choice; he didn’t dare to refuse.
“Mr. Zhou, would you like some drinks?”
Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li beside him, and she nodded. Zhou Chao then turned to Xiao Long and said, “Thank you, Xiao Long. Please bring us two cups of lemon tea.”
“Sure, Mr. Zhou! I’ll be right back!” Xiao Long said and hurriedly ran outside, leaving the two of them slightly surprised.
“I didn’t expect our handsome Zhou to be so influential!” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li, teasing him, and patted his own head helplessly.
“All right, stop teasing me, or I’ll implement my ‘household rules’ when we get home!”
“Household rules? What household rules?” Jiang Li looked puzzled, not having heard of any household rules.
Zhou Chao leaned close to Jiang Li’s ear and whispered a few words, causing her face, along with her neck, to turn crimson.
“Pervert! That’s all you can think about now?”
“Young lady, watch me deal with you later!” Zhou Chao spoke triumphantly, as if he had won a great victory, and looked at Jiang Li playfully.
After cuddling for a while, they heard footsteps approaching. It was Xiao Long, who had just gone out. He arrived, slightly out of breath, took a moment to catch his breath downstairs, and then came up with a bag in hand.
“Mr. Zhou, here’s your lemon tea.”
“Thank you!” Zhou Chao took the bag from Xiao Long without hesitation.
“No trouble at all, Mr. Zhou. This is my duty. I’ll go back to work now.”
“Sure, go ahead.” Xiao Long turned and walked away. After all, it was getting late, and there might be more people coming soon.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhou Chao heard more footsteps. He saw several people with badges, and he immediately recognized them as film critics. These people entered and noticed that someone was already seated but didn’t think much of it. They chose seats in the first few rows, as the first four rows were reserved for leaders, VIPs, actors, and professional film critics. It seemed they knew how the seating arrangement worked.
After about ten minutes, more people arrived one after another. Most of the front seats were now occupied, but it didn’t affect Zhou Chao and Jiang Li’s view. After all, no one had come to the last row.
“Brother Chao, Master Yu Qian and the gang are here!” Jiang Li whispered to Zhou Chao, who had been idly playing with his phone. Zhou Chao turned his head toward the front and sure enough, recognized some familiar faces.
“It’s about time. It should start soon!” Zhou Chao checked the time; it was almost 7 o’clock. As if on cue, within two minutes of Zhou Chao’s comment, the movie began.
The film started with humor, making everyone laugh, even Jiang Li, who was laughing so hard that she was clutching her stomach and leaning on Zhou Chao’s shoulder.
“Brother Chao, did you see that guy with the matches? He’s hilarious! Master Yu Qian really knows how to entertain!”
“Yeah, it feels like Master Yu Qian is playing himself!” Zhou Chao nodded in agreement.
As the movie progressed, Jiang Li suddenly whispered in Zhou Chao’s ear, “Brother Chao, this movie is actually quite good!”
“Yeah, it’s really good, and it captures that feeling!”
Good movies always pass quickly. Although the ending had mixed emotions, it was undeniably a great film.
“Brother Chao, 1 feel so sorry for Anjing. Professor Miao’s last words were so touching!” Jiang Li, seemingly touched by the ending, buried her head in Zhou Chao’s chest and sobbed quietly.
“Life is like this, often eight or nine out of ten things won’t go as planned. What we can do is face it head-on, strive to grow, and eventually become towering trees!” Zhou Chao thought of his college years and the kind class advisor he had. It seemed like he should make some time to go back and visit.
Zhou Chao patted Jiang Li’s back and took out a tissue from his pocket, handing it to her. Jiang Li wiped away her tears and sat up straight.
As the film ended and the lights came on, the entire VIP theater resounded with enthusiastic applause. The movie received recognition from numerous film critics.
After the screening, there was a Q&A session with the media and film critics. Zhou Chao and Jiang Li found it fascinating, especially as they heard some behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
What impressed Zhou Chao the most was the actor who played Anjing complaining about Yu Qian, saying, “Master Yu Qian often takes us out to eat, and after filming, everyone gained several pounds!”
This comment had everyone in the room laughing!
After chatting for about half an hour, the director announced the successful conclusion of the premiere. Film critics and media began to leave, leaving only Yu Qian and some old friends.
Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and walked down from the last row.
“Congratulations, Master Yu, you did a fantastic job in the movie!” Zhou Chao’s words attracted the attention of all the actors and the director.
“Man, for you to come and watch my movie is already the greatest honor for me. Tonight, we must have a great time!” Yu Qian’s face lit up when he heard Zhou Chao’s praise. He knew that Zhou Chao wasn’t just being polite; he genuinely enjoyed the movie.
“I’ll pass on drinking tonight. Let’s do it another day. It’s getting late, and 1 should head back now!”
“Alright, I’ll walk you out!”
“No need, I don’t want to delay everyone’s dinner plans. 1’11 go on my own!” Zhou Chao said and walked towards the exit. Yu Qian followed him, even though Zhou Chao had declined the offer to be walked out. How could Yu Qian not see him off?
Yu Qian watched as the two of them entered the elevator before turning back to the theater.
“Yu, who was that guy? Why did you treat him like that?” Director Zhang asked, voicing the curiosity of everyone present.
“He’s a big shot! He’s very low-key; there’s not much else to say,” Yu Qian’s words left everyone in contemplation.
“Let’s go, tonight we won’t return until we’re drunk!” Yu Qian looked at everyone, who seemed to be pondering Zhou Chao’s identity. He clapped his hands, bringing them back to reality.
“Not returning until we’re drunk!” The entire theater resounded with cheers from everyone present!
