There were only ten days left until the release of âHachikoâ. Yet, the most exciting event at the stroke of midnight in November was the start of the seasonâs music chart competition â
The November new song chart was here!
Some people said that the November new song chart was like a warm-up, or even a mini-version, of the Battle of the Gods in December.
And they werenât wrong.
The new song chart was lively indeed.
Without Xian Yuâs participation, without the arrival of the Maestro, without the King and Queen of Singing stirring up the scene â
All these top singers were fighting back and forth. On the first day alone, the champion song had gone up and down several times already.
One hour you were number one, another hour I surpassed you.
Yet another hour later, the third place surprisingly came up.
It was an absolute mess.
This was a real evenly matched fight.
And this was the scene the music world liked to see most.
A big shot dominating everything might be shocking to watch, but thereâs no suspense.
Unlike now in November, the battle was so intense. With news flying everywhere and countless netizens were all paying attention to this seasonâs new song chart.
How exciting!
This scene also added to everyoneâs anticipation for the fierce competition in December!
November was already like this.
What would December be like?
However, Lin Yuan didnât participate in Novemberâs new song chart, so he naturally didnât pay much attention to it.
Just like those audience passionately discussing online about what kind of ultimate interpretation âHachikoâ was pursuing.
Lin Yuan was quietly waiting for the release of âHachikoâ in his routine and miscellaneous work.
The truth was,
As more and more discussions were taking place online, people started to believe that âHachikoâ was as warm and healing as it appeared on the surface. Some even interpreted additional meanings from it:
âTeacher Admirable Fish is truly warm-hearted to choose November 11 for the movieâs release.â
âHuh?â
âWhat do you mean?â
This interpretation baffled many spectators.
Until this genius of logic revealed his understanding: âIsnât it obvious? Of course, itâs because November 11 is Singlesâ Day, a day that belongs to single dogs!â
Oh, damn⦠Thatâs right.
This logic genius continued to post and boost his theory: âThere are just too many coincidences, âHachikoâ is obviously a movie about a dog, warm and healing, and to the extreme.â
âWhat youâve said is very reasonable, I am speechless.â
âHaha, so âHachikoâ was made by Xian Yu for you single dogs?â
âIt must be! This is Teacher Admirable Fishâs care for single dogs. You know, Singlesâ Day is supposed to be the saddest day for us single dogs. Arranging a warm and healing movie for us on such a day is meant to give us spiritual comfort!â
âThe commenter above, remove the âusâ.â
âThe commenter above the above, remove the âusâ.â
âThe commenter above above above⦠Damn, donât remove it, I almost forgot that Iâm a single dog too!â
âHahaha, are you guys trying to laugh me to death in order to inherit my cockroach flower?â
âSo, the single dogs are watching âHachikoâ alone on November 11?â
âI originally had no plans to watch the midnight premiere, but after hearing what you guys said, Iâm going to buy two tickets for me and my girlfriend to watch it. I hope not to get beaten up by single dogs.â
âBrother, wake up, the first thing you need is to have a girlfriendâ¦â
âCouples, donât come. âHachikoâ is a movie for us single dogs!â
ââ¦â
The creative interpretations of netizens gave âHachikoâ a bit more attention.
Of course, no one really believed the movie was made for single dogs. It was a hilarious misinterpretation that a dog movie would be released on Singlesâ Day, precisely when single dogs would be shedding collective tears.
â¦
In such waiting, the days passed without rush.
Click.
As if the gears of time finally clicked into the correct node, with a crisp mechanical sound, November 11 officially arrived!
On this day, Lin Yuan went to sleep early as usual.
But at midnight, all major cinemas were as brightly lit as ever.
The heat in the lobby wasnât cold at all.
With the start of ticket checking for âHachikoâ, the first batch of the audience flooded the theaters, finding their corresponding seats.
The timeslot was late.
The ones willing to stay up late for the movie were either night-owls with nothing to do, or hardcore devotees of Xian Yu.
Of course.
It did indeed include some lonely hearts.
They came alone in taxis, bought their cola and popcorn alone, sat in their assigned seats alone, and prayed silently that they wouldnât be seated next to couples.
The total number of audience members was limited.
After all, it was late at night, even though the cinema was still operating, the midnight screening audience was destined to be sparse, and besides, âHachikoâ was not a popular blockbuster.
If it were a popular blockbuster screening, even at midnight, countless people would be willing to wait.
Even so, many people were rushing to see the first showing of the movie out of respect for Xian Yu.
By this time, most people were watching a heartwarming film, and had no idea how this film would portray it.
Butâ¦
What will come, will come.
With the screening of âHachikoâ, there seemed to be an invisible hand in the theater quietly throwing tear bombs.
At first, no one noticed.
By the time someone realized something was amiss, Professor An in the big screen had already fallen powerless in the classroom.
The abrupt piano forte seemed like a heavy hammer falling, leaving only a close-up of a small yellow ball in the scene.
Boom!
The sudden death of Professor An was like a mountain collapsing.
Accompanied by a sudden wail from inside a certain theater, one after another tear bombs exploded instantly, and all the audience was trapped in a gentle trap-
âCry! Everyone fucking cry!!â
In a bedroom of a high-end residential area, Olâ Zhou who was still not asleep at this hour looked at the time, and suddenly started yelling excitedly, even waking up his sleeping wife next to him.
âWhat the hell are you yelling about in the middle of the night!â his wife scolded Olâ Zhou irritably.
Olâ Zhou didnât explain, wearing dark circles under his eyes, he sat in front of the computer, grinning like a 170-pound child.
Like a remote control switch,
Just as Olâ Zhouâs malicious laughter rang out, countless viewers of âHachikoâ burst into tears!
The sea of ââtears instantly swept everything!
Couples and single watchers were treated the same!
Meanwhile, in a cinema in the city center, the screening room of âHachikoâ was filled with countless whimpers and curses. These curses were interspersed with sobbing:
âXian Yu, you liar!â
âYou call this heartwarming healing?!â
âDid the boss put in the wrong disc?!â
âToo misleading, this healing version doesnât work at all!â
âWhy is the popcorn in this cinema so salty today?!â
ââ¦â
This night, was destined to be sleepless.
Under the peaceful starry sky, as many spectators shed tears like rain, an equal number of people lambasted Xian Yu in the cold dead of night.
