Chapter 239: The same role played by Tran Cay Sinh, the audience shed tears on the spot (Ch 239)

“Yes, what’s the matter? Do you want to have your fortune told?”

Following the direction of his finger, Yao Tingting looked carefully and asked in confusion,

Zhang Ruonan on the side also looked at him curiously.

Qi Jia shook his head, as if he had thought of something, and spoke carefully.

“Director, what do you think about us adding a witch scene to the movie?

After the first time traveling, Lingge accompanied Qiu Qian to Prague to study abroad and met a witch on the street.

The witch saw that Lingge had changed his fate against the will of heaven and reminded him not to change his fate again, otherwise he would use up his time.

After hearing Qi Jia’s words, Yao Tingting showed a thoughtful look on her face. After thinking for a while, she opened the script again and studied it carefully.

“Do you want to deepen the audience’s understanding of Lingge’s unrepentant love through the witch’s prophecy?”

As the female lead, Zhang Ruonan is obviously more able to think from within the script. She was the first to realize why Qi Jia wanted to do this.

Yao Tingting raised her head and looked at Qi Jia, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She was originally worried that the appearance of the witch would seem ridiculous to the audience.

But after Zhang Ruonan’s explanation, everything made sense.

Although the outcome is already determined, I will never regret saving the person I love, even at the cost of my own life.

The appearance of the witch not only does not make the audience feel absurd, but also allows them to more deeply understand how deeply Ling Ge loves Qiu Qian.

This small episode not only increased the audience’s expectations for the subsequent plot,

Yao Tingting could even imagine how shocked the audience would be when they saw this scene in the cinema!

Qi Jia is so talented, what’s wrong with his brain?

Yao Tingting thought in her heart, but she said without hesitation,

“Okay, I agree. This change is great! I’ll have someone talk to the fortune teller and ask her to guest star as a witch.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director. We will go back first.” Qi Jia smiled and nodded.

“Don’t forget to perfect the scenes that need to be revised.” Yao Tingting reminded.

On July 7, Eight Hundred was officially released.

The overwhelming publicity in the early stages and the trailers with all kinds of high-energy shots have raised the audience’s expectations to the maximum.

Therefore, on the day of its official release, all screenings of “Eight Hundred” were sold out in more than 9,000 cinemas across the country.

Some schools, government agencies or companies even booked the entire theater to watch the show, supporting patriotic education with practical actions!

As soon as the movie started, the depressing dark atmosphere whetted the audience’s appetite.

As the plot unfolds, under the cover of night, the different scenes on both sides of the river make the hearts of the audience feel indescribably shocked.

Until the leader said that line,

“Over there is heaven, and over here is hell.”

The shock in everyone’s hearts was truly tangible at this moment.

Many people began to whisper and discuss quietly. They were so shocked that they had to speak out.

“This line is so well written.”

“Yes, the person who could write this line must have felt the same way.”

“Just listening to this line makes people feel breathless and desperate.”

The plot continues to advance.

When they saw the Japanese attacking, everyone clenched their palms nervously.

When they saw people on the other side running and calling out to warn the defenders that the Japanese were about to launch a surprise attack,

Everyone felt inexplicably warm in their hearts.

About an hour into the movie, someone suddenly realized what was happening and asked his friends in a low voice,

“Have you seen Qi Jia? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

As soon as he said this, the people in the nearby seats all came to their senses.

Yes, where did Qi Jia go?

There is a lot of promotion about him on TikTok, so how come he hasn’t appeared yet when the progress bar is almost halfway through?

Everyone has the same doubts in their hearts, and they continue to watch patiently.

Finally, when the plot progressed to the point where the Japanese threatened to take over the Sihang Warehouse within three hours,

“Hey, Qi Laogou, this is Qi Laogou, right?”

“Yes, it’s him. He finally showed up. I thought he was deleted from the main film.”

“It took so long to show up. I was kept waiting for a long time.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s only been an hour. There’s still more than an hour left. Qi Jia still has a lot of scenes to play.”

Just as the audience was comforting each other, although Qi Jia appeared late, there was still more than an hour before the movie ended.

The movie went on for another ten minutes while we still got to see quite a few of his scenes.

The plot finally progresses to the high-energy shot of Chen Shusheng, which is also the most popular part in the trailer.

Chen Shusheng, played by Qi Jia, left a suicide note and then hung two bundles of grenades on his body.

Ignoring the shouts of the company commander behind him, he jumped down from the gap without hesitation in the hail of bullets.

His body smashed through the Japanese’s steel plate, followed by an explosion.

The tragic scene stimulated the tear glands.

From the beginning till now, the audience had their first big tear moment.

Whether it was a 1.5-meter-tall girl or a 1.8-meter-tall man, their noses felt sore at the same time.

Then the tears started to flow uncontrollably, and some were so emotional that they even cried out loud.

“Qi Jia’s performance was really great.”

“So manly! Chen Shusheng is a real man!”

“Oh my god! It’s so tragic.”

“Although I have seen it countless times on TikTok, I was still moved to tears by Qi Jia when I saw it again.”

The audience’s crying gradually stopped as this part of the plot ended.

When their emotions stabilized and their minds became clear, many people began to react.

The expression gradually turned into surprise, and all kinds of whispers were heard in an instant.

“No, Qi Jia’s role is gone just like that?”

“Good news, Qi Jia is out. Bad news, Qi Jia is offline again.”

“I finally know why the trailer wasn’t cut longer. It turns out that Qijia is this short.”

“It’s really touching, but I’m still disappointed that Qi Jia has so few scenes.”

“Maybe the director can’t do anything about it. After all, Qi Jia is a real person, and this is the only part of Chen Shusheng’s history.”

What Qi Jia was worried about did not happen. Although he had very few scenes, everyone felt that he brought the martyr to life.

So, everyone forgave him generously, and the trailer was exactly the same as the feature film.

Two hours later, the movie officially ended.

Just when everyone was preparing to leave, they unexpectedly found themselves on a roadshow.

So, they all sat back down,

Welcomed by the host, Guan Hu came up with a group of leading actors.

After a self-introduction, the roadshow entered the interactive session.

Those who were selected expressed their opinions on the film.

The main creators also began to share some of their insights and gains during filming.

When the audience heard that the line “on one side is heaven and on the other side is hell” was actually written by Qi Jia.

Everyone was shocked.

If Guan Hu hadn’t said it himself, they would never have believed it.

In fact, Guan Hu brought this up intentionally in order to draw out Qi Jia.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, an audience member stood up and asked a question.

“Hello, Director. I would like to ask why Qi Jia didn’t come to the roadshow today?”

Guan Hu smiled, glanced at the audience, and asked loudly,

“Qi Jia is currently filming abroad, but if you want to see him, I can video chat with him, so do you want to?”

At first, everyone was a little disappointed when they didn’t see Qi Jia, especially the fans who came to see the movie just for him.

At this time, after hearing Guan Hu’s words, everyone became excited again and stretched their necks to answer.

“Okay! Then I’ll call him now.”

Guan Hu smiled, took out his phone which had been set up for screen projection, found Qi Jia’s WeChat, and chose the video call.

The call interface of Director Guan’s mobile phone also appeared on the big screen at the right time.

After a brief black screen,

Qi Jia’s familiar smile appeared on the screen.

In the screening room, everyone who was originally ready to greet him with a smile was stunned when they saw what was happening over there.

Immediately afterwards, not only the audience, but also the director and the leading actors exclaimed at the same time.
