Chapter 85 Silent Rivers and Mountains: Xiaohong's brief encounter with her lonely grandmotherShen Ming never expected that the seventeenth episode would become popular before it was even aired. #The crew of "Diga" appeared in the countryside. Will the new episode continue to call for attention to folk traditions? # #Visit Tiga's behind-the-scenes footage and explore the unknown secrets behind the birth of Ultraman! # Marketing accounts were everywhere to create hype, and the slogans sounded a hundred times better than what they actually did, but in reality, all that was passed around were a few blurry photos taken from a distance, which could not satisfy netizens' desire to peek. In the end, the official account of the "Tiga" crew came forward and released a nine-square grid of stills for the next two episodes. One is a drone shot of a bungalow in the lonely night. It looked like it had been worn by wind and rain for many years, and was weathered. It was gray all over and almost blended into the dark night. The second is a volcano that is constantly spewing thick smoke. The interior of the volcano was filled with boiling magma, red flames were emitting black smoke, and the heat was overwhelming. Just two photos have captured the imagination of countless viewers. Therefore, at six o'clock on Saturday afternoon, countless viewers logged into the live broadcast room early, waiting for the show to start. Children who want to go out and have fun during the holidays also budget their time and just wait for their parents to shout that "Ultraman Tiga" has started and then they run home. The sound of the opening song "Miracle Reappears" has now become their signal to go home.
Episode 17 begins with a fight scene between actors. While the actors were taking a break, a blue light descended upon the crew and kidnapped the actors without any warning! The same kidnapping incident also occurred at another night running trail. A boxer who was running at night also encountered the aliens as before, but facing the monster that was as big as him, the boxer was not afraid at all. He even went up and punched the monster twice, but it was of no practical use. Fortunately, another alien rescued him. The two aliens in front and behind look the same, the only difference is the color. The latter was a light red, almost colorless in some places, and looked a little weak, while the former was blue and exceptionally strong. The same aliens, but with different stances, can’t help but make people more curious about the “red vs. blue showdown” mentioned in the title. Could this be a battle between alien enemies? But then again, why do aliens always like to use the Earth as a battlefield? Then the scene changed, and in the same dark night, there was a small bungalow. The grandmother holding the charcoal in her hand ran quickly, shouting, "Come here, come to the stove to warm your hands." "I'm the only one here, so don't be polite, okay?" "By the way, why is it so popular to dress in such a weird way recently?" Sitting opposite my mother-in-law was a shivering alien. Some sharp-eyed viewers immediately recognized him as Xiao Hong who appeared before! Xiaohong seems to be able to communicate telepathically with people. The mother-in-law was busy greeting Xiaohong while muttering to herself. "Don't mind. No one told you to take it off." "Just make yourself at home." "... "
"Are you hungry? My old man is dead, and eating alone doesn't taste good, so there's nothing to eat at home." "My teeth can't chew them anymore. These shortbreads have been sitting around for a long time." "So that's how it is. You're looking for someone." "You can live here as long as you want until you find that person." "I still have a spare room, and my old man won't be mad at me anyway, right?" The camera turned from the mother-in-law to the black-and-white photo of the middle-aged man placed on the side. Plus the mother-in-law’s extra enthusiasm in the face of a monster. All the audience immediately understood that the mother-in-law was not afraid of monsters, but she was more afraid of loneliness. For a moment, many barrages of comments scrolled across the live broadcast room! "My grandmother is so kind, just like my deceased grandmother." "My mother-in-law knows he is an alien, but she is not afraid of him because she thinks he is a kind alien." "Of course kindness is one aspect, but the main reason is that the old lady is used to living alone and is too lonely." "It doesn't matter what country they are from. I feel a little touched when I hear that." "Mother-in-law should know all this. She just wants to talk to someone." "It's so true. Old people are reluctant to throw away things even when they are expired." "It's really sad to see such an old man." "... " My mother-in-law smiled very happily and said, "I'm so tired. It's been a while since I had any guests. I'm really exhausted today. Excuse me, I'm going to sleep first. Can you turn off the lights?" Xiaohong got up in a hurry, but her movements were too hasty and caused a loud noise. My mother-in-law was frightened and fell to the ground, and a few dogs barked outside the house. Mother-in-law: "Oh, I understand. Are you afraid of the dark? I won't turn it off. Don't mess around." The barrage was full of emotion. "Mother-in-law just wants someone to accompany her." "It's been a while since we've had any guests. What a sad thing to say, empty nesters." "Xiaohong is really nice. She seems to have frightened her mother-in-law, but her bewildered look is actually a little cute." "... " All night without incident. The morning light shines into the yard. The sound of birdsong came into the house.
The mother-in-law stood alone at the door, looking around the room which had lost its temperature, and her eyes finally fell on the teacup on the table. The tea had gone cold before it was touched. My mother-in-law sat on the terrace, holding a teacup, looking at the outside world, as if she was talking to someone. "What does it matter if we don't speak the language? Why leave?" Barrage: "Alas, it's so disappointing here." "Take care of empty-nest elderly people and spend more time with your family when you have time. Sometimes, parents are no longer around to take care of them." "What does it matter if we don't speak the same language?" "It's better to be busy." "Maybe it's not just about language, but also race." "... " The scene changes. Victory Headquarters. All members of the Victory Team are holding a meeting. What they have now confirmed is that all the disappearances occurred at night. But they still had no idea what kind of creature the other party was or what its purpose was. Team member Horijei: "I've got an idea. We just need to arrest those guys who are active at night and sleep in during the day, right?" Captain Iruma Kei: "Now is not the time to joke around." Team member Horike: “Understood.” Barrage: Hahahaha! "A life form that moves at night, you in front of the screen." "I am an alien, I am telling you." “Why are you arresting me?” “The alien turned out to be me.” "Hahaha, you're cursing again?" "... " On the other side, the Victory Team prepared to go out on patrol. At the same time, my mother-in-law was shopping at the supermarket on the street. To the clerk's surprise, my mother-in-law bought a lot of things, which were definitely not enough for one person.
Faced with the clerk's persuasion, my mother-in-law was very persistent. Xiaohong's arrival made my mother-in-law show her longing for life for the first time in a long time. Even when buying ingredients, there was a genuine smile on his face. The next second, the scene turned to a busy park. It is late autumn and the ground is covered with withered yellow leaves. There are people coming and going around. On the amusement facilities not far away, children are laughing and playing, full of vitality. The toddler clumsily fed the pigeons with an innocent smile on his face. The adults followed the children with pleased smiles on their faces. Children are their hope. Every scene here is so warm. However, all this warmth has nothing to do with the grandmother sitting under the tree. The happy world seems to have deliberately isolated her. She held the crumbs in her hand and threw them out mechanically. My mother-in-law's expression was still kind, but there was no smile on her face, and her eyes were looking forward blankly. In such a place full of laughter and joy, there was only a group of pigeons foraging for food around her. After a while, the flock of pigeons also flew away. Only one remained. The excitement always belongs to others, while the mother-in-law only has herself. Amid the children's laughter, the mother-in-law's back looked even lonelier. At this moment, a barrage of comments flashed by, full of emotion. “Don’t let your parents feel lonely.” "I miss my grandpa, but I can never see him again" "It reminded me of a public service advertisement from a long time ago. It's better to be busy." “Call your parents.” "I suddenly thought of my deceased grandmother, who is also an empty-nester and shed tears." "I am most afraid of kind old people. They are lonely and loving. I always feel that no matter how good I am to them, it is not enough." "." The scene changes. On the busy street, Xiaohong ran quickly with her mother-in-law on her back.
Even though everyone on the street looked terrified and backed away. But my mother-in-law smiled very happily. This might be the happiest moment she had been in a long time. To my mother-in-law, Xiaohong is not a monster, but a family member who accompanies her. "My mother-in-law smiled really happily." “What a heartwarming scene.” "Finally, my mother-in-law has someone to accompany her." "Notice how happy the mother-in-law's expression is here. It shows how lonely she was before." "... " Then the victorious team arrived. He mistook Xiaohong for a monster that kidnapped his mother-in-law. After some explanation, the Victory Team learned that the missing people were captured by Xiaolan and made into slaves. After discussion, everyone chose to believe Xiaohong's words and formulated relevant strategies. Night falls. Shinjo, Daiko, and Deputy Commander Munakata pretended to engage in a group fight to attract the monsters' attention. Xincheng took the opportunity to take revenge and acted ruthlessly. And the next second, Xincheng and Dagu disappeared. Apparently he was captured by a monster. The monster Xiaolan saw through Dagu's identity and wanted to persuade Dagu to surrender. After persuasion failed, Xiao Lan actually planned to take action! And just then. Xiaolan was suddenly attacked from behind! The person who came was Xiaohong, who could no longer move at night. Although weak, he cannot exert his full strength. But under the influence of her mother-in-law, Xiaohong realized something more important than victory. He promised Dagu that he would rescue the hostages and hoped that Dagu would defeat Xiaolan. Without any worries, Daigu transformed into Ultraman Tiga without hesitation. After several rounds of fighting. Ultraman Tiga received a hint from Xiaohong and learned that Xiaolan was afraid of light.
Then, Ultraman Tiga used Timer Flash to turn Xiaolan into a pool of liquid. After the battle, all the hostages were rescued and my mother-in-law also rushed to the scene. She smiled and shouted to the sky, "Is that so? So you want to go back?" "The kid is saying goodbye to me." Seeing the mother-in-law bidding farewell to Xiaohong with a smile, the audience in front of the TV felt a little sad. For my mother-in-law, she doesn’t care about race or country, as long as someone can talk to her, that’s enough. No matter how old you are, loneliness is always the most unbearable pain. Episode 17 ends with snowflakes falling. However, the audience in front of the TV could not get rid of the emotions for a long time. In an ordinary family, a little boy tugged at his mother's sleeve. "Mom, can we give grandma a call?" The boy's mother patted her son's head with relief and dialed a number. There was an old voice on the other end of the phone, expressing surprise and joy. This scene is played out in countless families throughout Dragon Country. ... As the 17th episode ended and it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire network paid special attention to this episode's care for the elderly and widowed people. It's almost screen-sweeping. The major TV stations knew they could not compete with it and wisely avoided its edge. The entire film and television industry is so small, so Lin Yuyan naturally saw the heated discussions on Weibo. During the period when Blue Ocean Station was closed for rectification, she maintained a learning attitude and carefully read Shen Ming's two Ultraman works. Until now, she finally understood why the drama "Ultraman Tiga" could not be suppressed in any way, and even crushed their entire TV station. It's not that the publicity is not in place. It is not the power of capital. Shen Ming never thought about arguing with her from beginning to end. All he wanted to do was to make his own work well. She herself fell into the trap of utilitarianism. She used to admire the great power of capital, so she was obsessed with stealing Shen Ming's graduation project, and even wanted to use the power of capital to force Shen Ming to admit her ideas. But she was still defeated by "Ultraman", which Shen Ming shot almost from scratch. Until now.
Until I saw the episode "The Decisive Battle between Red and Blue" shot by Shen Ming. Lin Yuyan suddenly understood. What her plays lack is concern for this society. In this metropolitan age of cold human relationships, even a moment of warmth is precious. Therefore, many people fantasize about having a sweet love, and the industry rushes in, but they unknowingly deviate from reality and betray the general public. Shen Ming's attainments as a director have far surpassed hers. She really lost. Those who lose are convinced. Lin Yuyan looked at the expensive crystal chandelier above her head, her expression gradually changing from hesitant to determined. She needed to do something. On Weibo, as the seventeenth episode was aired, the loneliness of the mother-in-law living alone touched the hearts of countless people, and many viewers also opened up to each other in the "Tiga" super topic. "When I saw my mother-in-law, I suddenly thought of my late grandmother. My grandfather died of illness at an early age. She raised my mother and two sisters by herself. When she got old, she could only take turns to be a 'guest' in the homes of her three daughters. The house in her hometown was demolished. She worked hard for half her life, but in the end she didn't have her own home." "When I was a child, I often saw her sitting on the balcony basking in the sun. She looked exactly like my grandmother who fed pigeons. At that moment, my vision suddenly blurred. I won't say more. Now I am on my way home to visit my grandmother's grave and visit my mother. I don't want her to be like my grandmother, who can't see me when she wants to." ".." ".." "I was a Redel when I was little, and I became an Abbas when I grew up." "The atmosphere was so sad before, but you made me laugh." "The late night star manually doge" "The three-shift work made me jump back and forth between the two races" I was trapped in the elevator today and was almost scared to death The other two chapters are combined into one, a big chapter of 4,000 words
