Chapter 457 Regret Reconstruction, More Song From Within Breakthrough (Ch 457)

“Regret theory!”

Qi Jia’s voice rang out clearly in the box.

“In the movie, because of Zhou Xiaoqi’s [immaturity], he blamed all the frustrations and misfortunes in his life on You Yongci.

Saying the words “I regret meeting her” reminded You Yongci of her alcoholic and domestic violence father.

This made her fearful about their future life together, which ultimately led to their breakup.”

After taking a sip of the tea on the table, Qi Jia continued,

“So, we need to change the part where Zhou Xiaoqi talks to his brothers to where he doesn’t say ‘I regret meeting You Yongci’.

Instead, he wanted to say that he regretted not meeting You Yongci earlier. But the result was that he was misunderstood by You Yongci.

You Yongci was so sad that she wanted to break up, and Zhou Xiaoqi finally confessed his confusion to You Yongci.

“Therefore, You Yongci realized that Zhou Xiaoqi had become as insecure as herself due to the blow of his injury.

In this way, she can break through her inner knot and no longer choose to escape, but to grow up with Zhou Xiaoqi…”

After saying this, the room returned to calm.

Li Zhien bit her chopsticks, her frown was filled with confusion, and it was obvious that she couldn’t figure out what Qi Jia meant for a while.

Chen Ge picked up a squid and didn’t even notice it fell in the middle of the meal. He put a piece of air into his mouth with his chopsticks and chewed hard with his upper and lower jaws.

“Can you perform a scene?” Li Xigen suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the two waiters standing at the door had a flash of joy in their eyes.

They had never seen an artist act before, so they were treated to a feast for the eyes. They just hoped that they would not be asked to leave by the guests.

But obviously, their worries were unnecessary. Everyone in the room was so immersed in the script that they had long forgotten about them standing there.

After listening to Li Zhien’s translation, Chen Ge swallowed the “air squid” in his mouth.

He said with anticipation and excitement: “Yes, since you have an idea, can you do a scene on the spot? This will save time in revising the script later.”

After listening to Chen Ge, Qi Jia did not agree immediately, but looked at Zhang Ruonan.

“What do you think?”

“I have no problem,” Zhang Ruonan said casually, with an expression that said, “I’ll do whatever you say.”

“Okay,” Qi Jia agreed, took the pen and the script, and said, “Then I’ll change a few lines first.”

Without waiting for others to ask questions, he picked up his pen and started writing.

Once he had an idea in mind, he changed it quickly.

Ten minutes later, the script was revised and Zhang Ruonan memorized it after reading it several times.

“Ji En, help us start the game.” Qi Jia said.

“OK~” Li Zhien responded excitedly.

Li Xigen, who was sitting beside him, had already sat upright, put on his glasses that he had just wiped spotless, and stared at Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan without blinking.

His eyes sparkled, like Alibaba who first entered a robbers’ cave and saw the cave full of jewels.

“start!”

As Lee Ji-eun finished her words, a feeling of sadness spread throughout the room.

The calm expression on Qi Jia’s face disappeared, replaced by panic.

The drooping eyelids and the dodging and erratic eyes immediately make people realize that

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoqi felt uneasy and at a loss.

“So this is why you have been refusing to tell me your true feelings.”

Zhang Ruonan stood in front of Qi Jia, her eyes red and misty.

When she said this line with tears in her eyes, everyone present felt as if an invisible hand had plucked their heartstrings, making their hearts beat non-stop.

Hiss~ Li Xigen’s eyes suddenly widened.

Looking at Zhang Ruonan, her eyes were full of fanaticism. The heroine played by this girl was more broken than the original version.

She doesn’t even need any extra performance. Just one line mixed with crying can evoke the deepest sadness in people’s hearts and then magnify it infinitely.

At this moment, he was extremely confident that the adapted version of “Your Wedding” would definitely surpass the Han version.

This is the first movie remake that is better than the original, and no one will ever say that remakes ruin the original again.

“I’m sorry.” Facing Zhang Ruonan’s crying, Qi Jia hurriedly took her hand and apologized.

At this moment, he had forgotten that this was an audition and immersed himself in the script. He held Zhang Ruonan’s hand, his lips trembling as he tried to explain.

But panic and self-blame had taken over his mind, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Seeing Qi Jia’s expression, Li Xigen nodded again.

Although Qi Jia’s appeal is slightly weaker than Zhang Ruonan’s, this has nothing to do with her acting skills. It’s because Zhang Ruonan’s crying scenes are so touching!

At the side, the two waiters were already tearful, with stuffy noses and twitching as if they had a bad cold and had difficulty breathing.

She was so sad that she didn’t even have the strength to stand. She sat on the ground, wiping her tears.

Regardless of the reactions of the people around them, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan were already immersed in the play.

Zhang Ruonan’s eyes were red as she knitted her brows. Her eyes were covered with disappointment.

She looked at the ground with dull and empty eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, and her tear-stained face was full of pain and sadness.

“I have never felt safe since I was a child, until I met you again. You told me in person that you would never make me sad again.”

“I believe it!”

“So, during all the hard times we went through together, I never wavered.”

At this point, Zhang Ruonan was already sobbing. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, showing how restless she was at the moment.

“Because I firmly believe that you are the right person!”

This sentence was like a signal to open the floodgates of a reservoir. The endless sadness, like a surging flood, roared out from the bottom of everyone’s heart.

It erupts along the pores on every inch of skin, filling the entire room!

At this point in the story, the expectations of Lee Hee-geun, Lee Ji-eun, and Chen Ge were all raised to the limit.

According to the original plot, Zhang Ruonan will leave after saying one more line, and then the two will break up.

“How will it be changed?”

For a moment, doubts arose in the minds of the three people at the same time.

“But I was wrong. I actually heard you say the word regret in person. You…”

Before Zhang Ruonan could finish, Qi Jia suddenly hugged her into his arms, holding her tightly, with a painful expression on his face, and said in a hoarse voice,

“No, it’s not like that! I regret it.

But what I regret is that on that night in our senior year, I listened to you and left, leaving you alone to face your fear.

What I regret is that I didn’t snatch you away from that scumbag in college.

What I regret is that I didn’t understand your fear earlier!

I regret many things, but I never regret meeting you.

I’m just afraid that I can’t give you the future you want, and I’m even more afraid that you will leave me.”

Zhang Ruonan’s struggle in his arms gradually stopped. When he heard Qi Jia’s last words that he was afraid he couldn’t give him the future he wanted,

Her dim pupils suddenly trembled, and her pale lips trembled slightly.

From Qi Jia’s words, she felt a familiar fear, the same helplessness, confusion and insecurity she felt when facing her alcoholic father.

In an instant, countless images of Zhou Xiaoqi being injured flashed through her mind, and she suddenly understood.

His behavior of avoiding interviews and friends’ gatherings is just like his constant moving to avoid his alcoholic father. It is all due to insecurity and therefore fear.

After figuring it all out, Zhang Ruonan felt guilty. She had never realized that he had become the same as her.

Zhang Ruonan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, raised her trembling hands, and gently stroked Qi Jia’s head.

…

The show is over.

“Good!” Li Xigen clapped excitedly. Although he didn’t understand Chinese, he could feel from Zhang Ruonan’s final gesture of touching his head to comfort him that the scene was modified very successfully.

“Great! This part is even more touching than the original.”

“I can’t wait to see it in theaters.”

IU and Chen Ge, who had just come out of their acting trance, also applauded and spoke.

“Thank you~”

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan smiled, sat down again, took out tissues and wiped their tears.

Just as I was about to continue talking about the script, I suddenly heard someone crying loudly beside me…

(It’s such a headache. I edited and deleted this part several times. Does anyone have any good ideas for adapting “Your Wedding”? Or do you want to see a classic scene re-enacted? Everyone seems to like this movie, haha~)
