Chapter 355: Shao Bei Was the Actor?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The movie wasn’t childish, but the angle was different. The use of the camera was mature, and the story was novel. Coupled with the main character, Little Fish, it quickly captured everyone’s hearts.

As they watched, some people who had just watched “Siblings” and those who watched many movies found Little Fish more and more familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere before.

Later on, someone realized that this was Shao Bei.

However, it was impossible. Shao Bei was a girl.

Later on, no one had the time to pay attention. The story was narrated tirelessly, and they were engrossed in watching the film.

The story wasn’t too complicated. It was simple and warm, but it also made people’s hearts surge. Everyone’s heart ached for the nameless hero and Little Fish. Xiao Wu’s music enhanced the movie, making it even more touching.

After many people finished watching it, they didn’t come back to their senses for a long time. They didn’t even know how they walked out of the theater.

It was only after they came out that they started clapping one by one. “Aiyah, I forgot to see who the actor who played Little Fish was!”

“That’s right. I was just thinking that this child acted well and wanted to know who it was. I forgot to take a look.”

“I forgot too. Now, I have to go see it again. I must remember to look out for it.”

After saying that, that person turned around to buy another ticket. However, he didn’t manage to buy one. He could only buy a ticket for next day’s screening.

Mu Jingzhe specifically brought Little Bei and the others to watch the movie. When they heard everyone talk, they heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as they heard that they were going to watch it a second time, they smiled knowingly.

It was impossible to know the exact box office earnings on the first day, but Mu Jingzhe felt that they wouldn’t be too bad.

Just as Mu Jingzhe had expected, after the second and third day, other than “Siblings”, people were also starting to talk about “Nameless”. They all said that the movie was not bad and recommended that everyone watch it.

On the fifth day, someone finally started to notice the name of the main character, Little Fish. The first person who mentioned it was a radio host.

“I went to watch the movie ‘Nameless’ yesterday. Because I had watched ‘Siblings’ previously, I kept feeling that the younger sister of the siblings resembled Little Fish. I thought that it might just be a coincidence, but I still paid attention to the cast. In the end, I saw the name Shao Bei on the main cast list. She portrayed Little Fish.

“I was afraid that I was wrong, so I queued up to buy another ticket. Finally, when I watched it again at night, I confirmed that it was Shao Bei.

“But I didn’t think that was right. I know that Shao Bei is the youngest movie queen and has good acting skills, but she’s a girl. How could it be her? In the end, I couldn’t help but buy tickets to watch ‘Siblings’ again.”

Although they couldn’t see his expression, thanks to the host’s rich language, the listeners could tell that he was conflicted and ready to break down. Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help surging.

“I finished watching it too. The more I watched, the more I felt that the facial features of the younger sister in ‘Siblings’ were exactly the same as Little Fish’s. Then, I looked at the cast list. The younger sister was also portrayed by Shao Bei.

“Before the show started, I used all my connections and contacted everyone I knew. I contacted Director Jiang as well and confirmed that Shao Bei, who played Little Fish, was the youngest movie queen we know. He said yes.”

The radio host paused. “Yes, he said that’s her. He gave a very definite answer. That’s not all. Director Jiang was very excited and said that we finally found out. He said that he had been waiting for everyone to find out and worrying about what he should do if they didn’t find out. According to him, he was also kept in the dark at first because Shao Bei used the identity of her twin brother, Shao Nan, to audition.

“Later on, during the filming process, he didn’t notice that anything was amiss. If Shao Bei hadn’t confessed it after filming the movie, he probably wouldn’t have known for the rest of his life. Director Jiang said that he had suffered too much trauma, so he wanted everyone to go through the same shock too. That’s why he kept it a secret. My conflicted expression is what he wanted to see the most.

“This is also the main reason they kept it a secret from the main cast previously. They were afraid that people wouldn’t believe them and wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.

“They were so good at keeping this a secret that, other than him, the entire production team is still unaware of it. Besides some of the crew members who had to write the name of the actors and knew about it before the movie premiered, many people are still in the dark about it.”

The radio host sighed. “I’m really impressed by Director Jiang, the production team, and Shao Bei. Her acting skills are so good that I didn’t suspect that she was a boy at first. Such acting skills are worth watching. It would have been a pity if we’d missed this performance. Although Director Jiang is really asking for a beating, I still have to recommend this movie.

“Other than Shao Bei’s acting skills, which are worth watching, the movie’s story is also very interesting and beautiful. I have to praise the author, Shao Xi. He’s Shao Bei’s older brother. He’s still young, but the story he wrote is heart-wrenching. If we take into account Shao Zhong’s soundtrack as well, their family is really… amazing. No, I can’t say anything else. Otherwise, everyone will think that I’ve been bribed to put in a good word for them.

“Let me clarify. I really only recommended the movie because I think that it’s worth watching. The nameless heroes described in the movie are worthy of everyone’s attention. I’m very grateful for this movie. Because of it, I understand the stories of nameless heroes. In the next episode, we will introduce the stories of nameless heroes.

“We might not know who they are, but I still want everyone to know more about their stories. They are the most respectable people.”

In the end, the radio host went back to talking about the movie itself and made the decision to do a series on nameless heroes.

The radio host’s listeners weren’t just from a certain province or a particular city. This was a radio broadcast that everyone in the country could listen to. The radio station’s address was in Ocean City, and many people listened to the broadcast daily. The host was also very famous and trusted by everyone.

After this radio broadcast, the movie inevitably attracted widespread attention and discussion.

The movie was nice to begin with. Those who had watched it had already started to recommend it to their friends. Thanks to this promotion, everyone heard about it. Many people who had watched it a second time and were also wondering if Little Fish was the youngest movie queen finally had an answer.

It was really Shao Bei. Shao Bei had portrayed a boy!

There were many listeners who tuned in to this radio station. Many people in big cities all over the country went to the movie theater to buy tickets to watch the movie. Some places where the movie wasn’t available were urged to quickly screen the movie. Movie theaters always reacted quickly. “Nameless”, which originally didn’t have many screenings, was immediately given increased screening times.

The two movies starring Shao Bei became the most popular movies with the most screenings. The other movies could only blame their bad luck.

Newspapers, radio stations, and television stations were all mobilized to report on this.

That night, Mu Jingzhe received a lot of calls. Little Bei, Xiao Wu, Shao Xi, and even Shao Nan were invited to be interviewed. Of course, they had to accept to help with the movie’s promotion. The same applied to Director Jiang.

Over the next few days, many people in the country learned about this and went to watch ‘Nameless’. After watching ‘Nameless’, they couldn’t help but watch ‘Siblings’ as well.. Those who had watched ‘Siblings’ didn’t feel complete without watching ‘Nameless’ either.
