A top superstar who started as a composer

Chapter 286 Advertising
With a certain plan, Yu Hai started to make some preparations when he returned to the hotel room, and contacted Wen Ren, asking him to help find a special effects company.

It took two days to finish shooting the video, and Yu Hai spent another week leisurely in Guan City before the video was officially completed.

At this time, the number of netizens flocking to Xizhou is gradually decreasing.

There was no trace of Yu Hai for more than a week, and many people speculated whether he had gone to play somewhere else.

At this moment, Jingluo's Weibo finally posted another video:
The whale falls into the sea: "The greatest joy of traveling is that you always meet some unforgettable people and things in the process. It was a pleasant surprise to meet fans in Guanshi, so I made an advertisement. If you are interested, you can take a look. "

Basically, the first time everyone saw this news was not to watch the video, but to be shocked.

"Yaoshou, Jingluo actually made an advertisement!"

"Oh my god, Your Highness has accepted the advertisement? What are you selling? I'll buy it!"

"Advertising during the trip, is it because the travel expenses are not enough?"

"It always feels like it's not going to be that simple."

"..."

Click on the video, and it starts with a picture of a little boy sitting in a bamboo basket being carried by an old man.

The little boy holds two shadow puppets in his hands, which are the pictures of Monkey King and Erlang God.

"Grandpa, do you think Sun Wukong can beat Erlang Shen?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's okay. Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, the most powerful."

"You prefer Monkey King?"

"Well, he is omnipotent. When I grow up, I want to be like Monkey King and protect Grandpa!"

"Hahaha, okay, grandpa is waiting for your protection!"

"..."

The picture slowly turned, and came to a yard, where there were four old people sitting, and a photo frame inlaid with black and white photos.

The camera first focuses on the photo, and the narrator reads slowly: "This is my grandfather, a shadow puppet maker." Then the camera slowly moves over the four old people: "This is the member of my grandfather's shadow puppet team."

The camera shifted, and slowly shifted to a bird's-eye view of an old street.

Old buildings, alleys with different widths, and five people in the alleys pushing carts and carrying bamboo baskets.

"In my memory, grandpa carried his suitcase and his little friends all day, walking around the streets to perform."

"At that time, I thought my grandpa was very powerful. Every time I took his shadow puppets to school, the children envied me very much."

"Because it's a toy they can't buy."

"So, from a very young age, I thought it would be very cool to be a shadow puppeteer."

"It's as cool as Monkey King. Although Grandpa can't fly into the sky, he can make Monkey King fly into the sky."

The sound of musical instruments such as sticks and yueqin began to sound, and the dancing shadow puppets in front of the curtain were two Monkey Kings and Erlang Gods fighting.

"Actually, before learning shadow puppetry, my grandfather always wanted to be admitted to university. He is very smart and his grades have always been very good. Unfortunately, after he was admitted to university, he gave up before studying, because the pillar of the family fell down, and he wanted to stay. Come down and support the family."

"Later, he also did a lot of work, planted land, repaired houses for others, and worked as a carpenter, but in the end the only thing that made him stick to it all his life was shadow puppetry, and it lasted until his death."

"He made money with this persistence, married a wife and had a baby, and bought a house for his son."

"However, what he has insisted on all his life seems to be buried in the dust after he leaves."

As soon as the screen changes, the video jumps back to the old yard.

Several old people sat quietly in the yard.

They held shadow puppets, Yueqin, etc. in their hands, but they all looked lonely.

One of the old men answered the phone there:

"I won't go, I don't want to live with you, how interesting is it that I play shadow puppets with my friends? Go to your place, there is no one to talk to."

"How could no one watch it? It's not like you don't know how much people here like shadow puppetry. You also loved watching it when you were young."

"We even lined up a new play a while ago, and it's very popular."

"We had a wedding the day before yesterday, and today we are going to perform in a shopping mall. Yes, many people have invited us. Everyone loves to watch our show. Young people also like to watch it..."

However, the picture of the camera is in stark contrast to what he said.

The shadow puppet box that has been covered with dust seems to have not been opened for a long time.

Outside the lively wedding scene, several elderly people watched from a distance with desolate faces.

In the bustling downtown, they looked at the band performing on the stage with envy.

They are still walking the streets and alleys, but their hands are empty.

Constantly staying in various lively places, but it is already a passerby.

They tried to set up a stage in a lively place and perform for everyone for free, but no one cared.

A mother and son walked in front of them:

"Mom, what is that?"

"It's a shadow play."

"What kind of shadow play is it?"

"Old stuff, no one looks at it."

"..."

The old people sat there helplessly and lonely, out of tune with this world.

The shadow puppets in their hands, like themselves, seem to have been abandoned by this era.

Many viewers are a little uncomfortable seeing this:
"I've never seen a shadow puppet show, and I feel it's very old."

"Who would go to a shadow puppet show if there's a movie?"

"It's so bitter!"

"I remember watching a shadow puppet show when I was in elementary school. It was quite boring."

"They did their best!"

"..."

At this time, in the video, a middle-aged man and his son appeared in front of an old man: "Dad, why did you come out to set up a stall?"

"How did you come?"

"I'll come and see you. Didn't you say that you perform a lot?"

The old man was silent.

The middle-aged man said earnestly: "Dad, no one will read this now. The outdated things should have been eliminated long ago. What's the use of guarding them?"

"Some things have to be thrown away sooner or later. You are so old, you can honestly move in and live with us, take care of yourselves, don't worry about it anymore, okay?"

"I don't toss, if I don't toss this thing will be gone." The old man said bitterly.

"You're gone if you don't toss around!" The middle-aged man sighed: "You have been guarding here for so long, is there anyone watching?"

"Someone will watch it." The old man said stubbornly.

"Who?"

The old man fell silent again.

"Dad, we're really worried about you living alone, even if it's for our sake, let's move in and live together!"

The old man didn't speak, and looked struggling.

When the two were in a stalemate, a little boy passed by, looked at the things in the old man's hand and asked:
"Grandpa, how do you sell this toy?"

"This is not a toy, not for sale."

"What is that for?"

"Actor."

"Then what is this show?"

"This is Monkey King."

"You are lying, this is not Monkey King. Monkey King is much more handsome than him." The little boy shook his head, showing a look of disdain at the shadow puppet in the old man's hand.

The old man was taken aback: "This is Monkey King, look, this is the golden cudgel, this is his purple gold crown..."

"That's not it!" The little boy retorted, and turned his head to open the small schoolbag he was carrying, and found a doll in the image of Monkey King, shaking it, showing a complacent expression: "Hey, grandpa, this is Sun Wukong's appearance, yours is fake."

The old man's smile just now disappeared suddenly.

He stared blankly at the shadow puppet in his hand, and suddenly showed a exhausted expression.

He turned to look at his old buddies, all of them also showed confused and frustrated expressions.

"Hey..." With a long sigh, the old man turned around and opened the box, put the shadow puppet in his hand, and then began to tidy up the ones hanging on the rope.

Seeing this, the others didn't make a sound, and just silently started packing their things.

Knowing that his father had agreed to his request, the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, looking at the heavy backs of the old people, they didn't look too relaxed, and only silently helped them pack their things.

In fact, he didn't want to force his father, but the old man was really old, and they were really worried about letting him live alone.

If there is something wrong with this, it will make them regret it.

A few old people packed up their business without saying a word. On the bustling street, the atmosphere here was extremely heavy.

They all knew that when they went back this time, it would be impossible to come out with these things on their backs.

Only the young man who followed his father to pick up his grandfather remained silent, but looking at his lonely back, sadness and struggle flashed in his eyes.

He heard that the little boy was still muttering: "How can there be such a thin Monkey King! It doesn't look like..."

He suddenly remembered the scene of the fight between Monkey King and Erlang God that his grandfather showed him when he was a child.

Looking at Grandpa's heavy back again, tears suddenly began to well up in his eyes.

"Grandpa!" The young man suddenly shouted.

"What?" The old man turned his head and looked at him with cloudy eyes.

"I'll move here to stay with you!" The young man smiled and made up his mind.

"Ah?" The old man didn't respond.

I saw the young man calling out to the little boy who turned around and wanted to leave: "Hey, kid."

"Huh?" The little boy turned his head.

"Sun Wukong flies into the sky and escapes from the earth." The young man said.

In the video screen, as these words were spoken, the shadow puppet held by his grandfather flew up and flew behind the young man.

Amidst the passionate melody of suona, the young man waved his right hand.

He held a golden cudgel in his hand, and at the same time, his clothes changed into the same colors as the shadow puppet one by one: purple gold crown, chain gold armor, bright red cloak and so on.

One by one was added to him, like the dreamy special effects of the movie version. With the passionate melody, he transformed into the Monkey King under his grandfather. This scene made people excited.
