Chapter 3261 Premiere
The bus drove around the movie theater, and Xiaobai and the others took the opportunity to introduce the theater to Xiaozhou's classmates.
After circling around, the bus slowly drove into its designated parking space on the ground.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Xiaobai got out first and shouted back into the car, "Everyone, take your time and just follow our hands!"
As soon as the car door opened, the members of Little Red Horse immediately divided up their tasks: Dudu, Xiaomi, and Xier helped everyone out of the car, while Robin and Xiao Weiwei quietly described the surrounding scenery.
"On the left is a wall of movie posters, and Liuliu is right in the middle."
"There are many people ahead of us, all watching the red carpet walk, but don't worry, we're going through another entrance."
"There's a popcorn vendor in the distance, the aroma is wafting over."
……
As Xiaoxin listened to everyone's introductions, images flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed, "How lively!"
Xiao Zhou said, "The sports meet is even more lively, and the loudspeakers can be deafening."
The students around him said enviously, "I really want to see what that scene is like."
The central area in the front row of the movie theater was left empty, specifically for them.
Xiao Zhou felt around for the raised points on the handrail and said, "I'm A1, Xiao Xin, where are you?"
Xiao Xin had already sat down with Du Du's help and said, "I'm to your right, A2. Xiao Xu is to your left, A3. We're all here."
They helped each of them find their seats and patiently adjusted their posture. Xiaobai and the others also reminded them, "If you want to drink water or go to the toilet, just let us know. We're right next to you."
After everyone was seated, Dudu and Xiaomi started distributing popcorn and drinks, while the thoughtful Xier and Chengcheng also prepared some wet wipes.
Xiao Zhou touched the Braille markings on the seat, feeling a strange sense of peace amidst the noisy surroundings.
Just then, a familiar, cheerful voice rang out; it was Liuliu.
Liu Liu ran to her seat and said excitedly, "Xiao Zhou! I've finally been waiting for you! I just finished rehearsal and came to see you!"
Xiao Zhou said, "Liuliu, thank you for your concern."
Liu Liu looked at the several unfamiliar faces beside her and asked, "Xiao Zhou, are these all your classmates? Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"
Xiao Zhou immediately said, "The man to my left is Xu Zhiqiang, we all call him Xiao Xu..."
Before Xiaozhou could finish introducing anyone, Liuliu stepped forward, warmly shaking their hands and saying, "Hello, hello, welcome, welcome! Just ask Xiaobai if you need anything."
Xiao Bai patiently waited until Liu Liu got to know everyone before she said, "What's going on? You're acting like leaders."
Liu Liu laughed: "Little Bai, you don't understand."
Xiao Bai was about to continue teasing her when Xiao Zhou interrupted, asking, "Liu Liu, are you going to speak on stage later?"
Liu Liu said, "Of course, I go on stage with the director, Boss Zhang does it too, but Xiao Bai doesn't."
Xiao Bai said, "You don't have to say the last sentence."
Liu Liu chuckled and said, "If I don't tell you, you'll just say I'm ignoring you!"
Xiao Bai chuckled secretly, "Tonight is a good night, so don't cause any trouble, okay? I don't want you to get rough with me."
Liu Liu felt emboldened, but she didn't dare to tease Xiao Bai any further.
At this moment, Xiaozhou asked Liuliu if she was nervous.
Liuliu said, "No! Absolutely not! This is nothing. I've seen much bigger scenes."
Xiao Zhou said, "Is this a small scene? How many people are here right now?"
Liu Liu looked around, feeling uncertain, and blurted out, "Ten thousand people, I guess."
Xiao Zhou and the others exclaimed in surprise, "There are so many people!"
Xi'er corrected, "There aren't 1 seats here. There are two floors, and there are only 5000 seats in total."
Liuliu asked, "How did you know?"
Xi'er said, "There's an introduction on the sign at the entrance."
Liuliu immediately fell silent. She picked up the popcorn next to Xiaozhou, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Xiao Bai said, "This is Xiao Zhou's popcorn! You should have some too!"
Xiao Zhou quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, let Liu Liu take it and eat it."
Liu Liu chuckled awkwardly, put down the popcorn, and said, "I'm used to it. It really wasn't intentional. Here you go, Xiao Zhou. I have my own popcorn."
Liu Liu's seat was near them, also in the very front row.
Zhang Tan, Zhang Tongshun, and others also came over and greeted Xiao Zhou and the others, but they spent most of their time receiving guests and friends.
Although "Miss Zhao's Family" is not a commercial film or a big-budget production, and the premiere maintained a low-key style, it still attracted many people in the industry to attend. Even those who did not receive an invitation came on their own initiative.
After finishing up, it was already 7:15, fifteen minutes before the movie premiered. The pre-show interviews and warm-up sessions could begin.
The host's gentle voice rang out, introducing the background of the film's creation.
Director Zhang Tongshun took the stage to give a speech, and specifically mentioned Xiaozhou and his classmates: "Today, we have a group of special guests here, Xiaozhou and his friends. This film wants to tell everyone that whether you are a person with disabilities or any of us, you have the right to enjoy happiness and pursue your dreams. Thank you for coming, which makes this premiere even more meaningful."
The applause rang out again, this time even more enthusiastic and longer.
Liuliu also went on stage with them and gave a brief interview to the host.
"Liuliu, is this role very different from your previous ones?" the host asked.
Liu Liu nodded and said, "Yes, this role is really different. I like it very much and it's the one I've put the most effort into because this character is my best friend. When I don't know how to act, I learn from her."
Xiao Bai and the others knew that Liu Liu was referring to Du Du.
The atmosphere was relaxed, with bursts of applause erupting from time to time.
Xiao Xin, Xiao Xu, and the others instinctively clenched their hands, feeling a warm glow in their hearts; their previous anxiety had long since vanished.
The movie has officially started.
When the familiar harmonica melody flowed from the speaker, Xiaozhou's body stiffened slightly, and then a proud smile appeared on her lips.
Xiao Xu turned her head and gently touched his arm: "Xiao Zhou, you played this, didn't you? It sounds so beautiful."
"Mmm." Xiao Zhou nodded heavily. He hadn't expected that his harmonica playing in the movie would sound so good. He had never noticed it before.
In the movie, Liu Liu plays Ms. Zhao, who helps her parents haggle fiercely with the vegetable market owner, teaches her family to sing the theme song in sign language, and has her family cheer for her in sign language at the sports meet. These scenes are conveyed through clear dialogue and sound effects.
The members of Little Red Horse quietly explained the key scenes throughout.
"Now Miss Zhao is helping her mother translate. Her mother asked Miss Zhao to talk to the restaurant owner and ask if the dishes could be discounted by two yuan. Miss Zhao directly bargained the owner down to five yuan, and the owner agreed..."
"Ms. Zhao's father is saying 'My daughter is great' in sign language."
"Xiao Zhou's character is playing the harmonica, and Miss Zhao is humming along beside her."
……
Xiao Xin closed her eyes and listened intently to the dialogue and music in the movie, the images involuntarily appearing in her mind.
He suddenly realized that listening to movies was more wonderful than he had imagined, as it allowed him to experience the most genuine emotions.
When the movie showed Ms. Zhao singing "A Lively Home" to her family, with her family accompanying her in sign language, the theater was extremely quiet, with only the melodious singing.
Near the end of the movie, the blind character played by Xiaozhou says to Ms. Zhao, played by Liuliu: "Although we can't see the sunlight, we can feel its warmth; although we can't see the images, we can hear the beauty of the world."
These words were like a ray of light, illuminating the hearts of every child. Xiao Xin couldn't hold back her tears, which dripped onto her hand, feeling warm. Xi'er gently patted her back, offering comfort without speaking.
As the movie ended and the lights came on, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Xiao Xu exclaimed excitedly, "It's so beautiful! The story in the movie is so heartwarming, and Xiao Zhou's harmonica playing is amazing!"
Xiao Xin wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I never knew listening to movies was so wonderful. I've never been so happy before. Thank you to the Little Red Horse friends, thank you for bringing us here."
Looking at his smiling classmates, Xiao Zhou was deeply moved. He knew that this premiere was more than just a movie-watching experience for them; it was a spiritual cleansing. They felt the kindness of the world and understood that they, like everyone else, had the right to enjoy happiness and the right to pursue their dreams.
