Chapter 164. The sad ending"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am. It"s just that the movie affected me too much."
Hou Fei said to Yu Xian, who was looking worriedly at him.
Both of their eyes were still red from crying.
They were currently coming out of the theatre. The movie has affected both of them, but it was a worth watch for them.
Especially for Hou Fei.
He can never forget the experience.
He didn"t like much movies, but he was sure that he would remember «A born star» for a long time.
"Ah, what was the name of the actor who played the male lead? Also, the name of the female lead?"
Hou Fei asked suddenly. That question surprised Yu Xian, as she knows that Hou Fei was not into celebrities.
The most he liked was some girl groups.
"The male lead is Xin Ren and the female lead name is Xiao Rin."
Hou Fei started to search about them on his phone, after hearing that.
He was really interested in them after the movie. He even wanted to watch their earlier movies now.
"Hey, I told you, we should watch «Vagabond», not some musical drama."
"Believe me, «A born star» is better, most of my friends who have watched it said, that it was really good."
"I don"t care. I am a big fan of Yang Kun, I want to watch «Vagabond»."
As Hou Fei was looking through information about Ren and Xiao Rin, he suddenly heard two people arguing close to them.
It was a girl and boy pair. They were supposedly a couple arguing over which movie to watch.
The guy wanted to watch «A born star» while the girl was fixated on «Vagabond».
"The reviews about «Vagabond» is not good. We should watch «A born star». Various critic sites have given it a high score, especially on net critic, it has a rating of 4.8."
"I don"t care. I want to see Yang Kun, he"s my idol. I want to see «Vagabond» because of him."
The girl was a fan of Yang Kun, the lead actor of «Vagabond». She was fighting with her boyfriend about watching «Vagabond».
Watching them like this, Hou Fei suddenly approached them.
"Excuse me."
"Huh? Who are you?"
The arguing pair was perplexed when Hou Fei suddenly approached them.
"My name is Hou Fei. You two are here to watch a movie, right?"
"Yes, but we can"t decide which movie to watch. I want to watch «A born star» while she is fix on «Vagabond»."
The guy said as he glanced at his girlfriend.
"Actually, I just walked out from watching «A born star»."
"Huh? How was it?"
The girl asked towards Hou Fei.
"Well, I can"t describe it. Heartbreaking, pure, full of pain and love, I think that"s the best way to describe it."
"Are you joking with us?"
The guy said when he heard those vague words. Anybody would think that Hou Fei was joking with them without watching the movie.
"I am not. I can only describe it that way. Anyway, it was a really worth watch. I haven"t watched «Vagabond» yet, but «A born star» is clearly a masterpiece in my eyes."
The couple at the moment were really confused by Hou Fei.
He was praising the movie very much and it was to the point that they felt that he was trying to scam them or something.
Well, Hou Fei was just a random person for them who has just suddenly came to talk with them.
"Are you trying to scam us or something?"
"Scam? No, why will I do that?"
"Then, why are you praising the movie so much?"
"It"s just that I really liked it very much and it would be a pity if you missed it."
"What is so special about the movie?"
Hou Fei fell into thoughts when he heard that. It was because there were many things that he felt was special about the movie.
"For me, there were many special things in the movie, but what I liked the most was only one thing?"
"What was it?"
"It was it"s ending!!"
Hou Fei replied instantly. He still remembered the last scene that had made him cry after a long time.
It was real and heartbreaking!!
* * *
The ending scene started with Leo (Ren) standing on a terrace of a building.
There were smashed alcohol bottles around him and he was looking at the ground with a blank expression on his face.
At that moment, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) who was calling him.
-Leo, where are you? I have been trying to contact you for a long time. You are not drunk, right?
Cao Fei"s (Xiao Rin) worried voice resounded from the other side of the phone.
"I am fine. I haven"t drink a bit. How was your event?"
-It went well, but Leo, where are you?
"I am close to the home. Don"t worry, I will get home soon."
-It"s good.
There was a silence on the phone for a moment and after sometime, Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) said.
-Leo, you don"t have to worry about anything. I know what happened was bad, but I don"t blame you for it. We can talk and fight your addiction together.
Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) was talking about the time when Leo (Ren) caused a riot at a event after drinking.
The media has heavily criticised him and Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) for it.
"Don"t worry about it. We will surely fight it together. Now, I am ready to end this addiction."
-Really? I will reach home soon, let"s eat dinner together.
"Sure and I, I love you…"
The phone call ended after that.
Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) threw the phone away as he looked at the night sky.
There was a bright moon in the sky with no stars to accompany it. It made him remember the first time, he met Cao Fei (Xiao Rin).
After that, he stared at the ground and muttered.
"It"s time to end this."
After that, the scene changed and it was revealed that Leo (Ren) has committed suicide that night.
It was a shock to everyone, especially Cao Fei (Xiao Rin).
She became like a lifeless doll after hearing the news of his death. She even tried to commit suicide too.
But she found Leo"s (Ren) final gift to her. A recording.
In this, he explained about how he loved her more than anyone and the reason behind him committing suicide.
He didn"t wanted her to be held back by him, his greatest dream was for her to become a world famous singer.
He died for that dream.
In the end, Cao Fei (Xiao Rin) again decided to stand up and pursue her path of singing.
The ending scene revealed her singing a song about her love for Leo on a wide stage, while looking at the sky.
She also changed her name to Leo"s last name, because of her unfinished desire to marry him and live a happy life.
The movie ended in a heartbreaking but real and gripping ending.
It was really a masterpiece!!
