The afterglow of dusk smeared on the sparkling surface of the river, like an expired salmon.
On the bridge, the young girl stood on the railing and cried at the young man.
"You should have let me die. That way, I wouldn't be in so much pain!"
This world was full of malice. It was like a thug constantly beating the young girl, ravaging her all over.
"You think that committing suicide is bravery, but it's actually a form of escape!"
The young man persuaded, his forehead full of sweat.
"It doesn't matter anymore!"
The young girl smiled sadly.
"Damn, life has never been easy. Being alive is a form of victory. If you can obtain happiness, that would be a great victory!"
The young man persuaded.
"It doesn't exist. I've even forgotten when was the last time I was happy?"
The young girl wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "Go and find a better girl."
Seeing this scene, the young man no longer tried to persuade her. Instead, he stood on the railing and welcomed the river breeze. He opened his arms and looked at the young girl.
"If I lose you, my world will lose its color. Since you want to commit suicide, I'll accompany you!"
The young man heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, a smile appeared on his lips, like the sweetness of ice cream melting on the tip of his tongue.
"You actually feel so relaxed after letting go of your dreams?"
The young man blinked mischievously. "If I knew this would happen, I would have given up earlier."
"No!"
The young girl was shocked. "Don't you want to become a great director and make the best movie in history? Why are you seeking death? "
"Without you, even if I make the best movie, who would I show it to?"
The young man mocked himself. "Compared to tasting the wine of success, I prefer to share this joy with you!"
"I don't deserve it!"
The young girl cried. "I'm a bionic human!"
"So what?"
The young man asked.
"If I stay by your side, I will only harm you. You have a bright future, but a girlfriend like me will cause you to be removed from the film industry!"
The young girl covered her cheeks in pain.
"Girlfriend? From today onwards, I'm not! "
The young man suddenly jumped off the railing, knelt on one knee, and took out a box from his pocket. After opening it, a ring lay there quietly.
"Emma, will you marry me and be my wife?"
The sudden proposal caused the young girl to be stunned. Immediately after, a huge wave of happiness filled her chest.
The marriage proposal did not come to fruition, because a police car sped up.
"That's the girl! Catch her!"
Hearing this, the young man rushed to the girl's side and grabbed her right hand. "Run!"
Crack!
Su Ying shouted and waved her fists excitedly.
"Perfect, it's really too perfect. Your feelings for each other are on point."
Su Ying was the down-and-out director who stuck to Emma like glue, wanting her to participate in his independent film.
"Why do I feel like it's a little too emotional?"
Sun Mo frowned, feeling that this was like a Korean drama. It was too sweet.
"What do you know? Women like to watch this kind of thing."
Su Ying interrupted Sun Mo who still wanted to argue. "I know that your acting skills are very good, but I'm a professional when it comes to directing. So, you have to listen to me."
"Forget it!"
Emma tugged at Sun Mo's sleeves.
"I feel that our original intention of filming this movie has gone astray."
At the start, Sun Mo and Emma had agreed to film this movie because they wanted to do their best to eliminate the conflict between humans and androids, allowing them to understand each other.
But now, as they continued filming, it had turned into a romance movie.
Oh right, in Su Ying's script, the male and female leads had different names. But after seeing Sun Mo and Emma's acting skills, he directly used their real names.
"Emma, your acting skills have evolved to such a level in just three months. It's really too amazing. I dare to say that once this movie is released, you'll definitely be able to get the Best Female Lead Award at the Omega Awards!"
Su Ying praised.
"Yeah, it's very amazing!"
"Sun Mo is also very strong, alright? In the past, he was also a newcomer with zero acting skills. "
"Emma is too beautiful and people don't dare to play with her. But I really want a warm guy like Sun Mo!"
A few of his companions chattered, feeling very satisfied with this scene.
These people were the kind of people who were depressed. There were humans and androids. Because of Su Ying, they gathered together to film this movie together.
In the movie, Emma was an android maid in an upper-class family. The female owner was a musician, and in order to create a masterpiece, she developed a strange habit of abusing android maids.
Under all kinds of torture, in addition to listening to the female musician's performance and observing her creative process, the maid Emma gradually gained self-awareness.
When the hostess left the house for a performance, Emma would sneak in and use her piano to play some music.
She wasn't satisfied with this and started to compose her own songs.
One time, the female owner stopped her performance due to health reasons and rushed home in advance. In the end, she discovered Emma sitting beside the piano, playing and singing.
At that moment, the female owner was deeply shocked. Then, a strong sense of humiliation and inferiority gushed out from her chest.
(I'm actually inferior to an android maid?)
Because Emma's talent was outstanding, the female owner could appreciate the beautiful mood in the maid's songs. It was also because of this that she wanted to destroy Emma.
After a round of fighting, Emma managed to escape. When she had nowhere else to go, she met a talented graduate from the Film Academy. His name was Sun Mo.
Sun Mo was stimulated by Emma's performance and his inspiration burst forth. He kept on shooting all sorts of short films, and the views on video websites exploded.
This was especially so for the accompaniment of the short films. Each of them rapidly became popular and conquered the music industry.
All sorts of advertisers and major companies came waving their checks, wanting to cooperate. Sun Mo didn't lose himself in it. He rejected the money and started to compose behind closed doors.
That female owner had been looking for Emma. After seeing these short films, she guessed that Emma might have a relationship with this student from the Film Academy through the style of the music. Hence, she sent out private detectives to gather dirt on them.
The micro movie that Sun Mo had spent so much effort to create was released and became very popular on the internet. But at this moment, the female owner exposed the matter between him and Emma.
Sun Mo's girlfriend was actually an android?
A portion of the art that was pursued by the mainstream of society actually came from the hands of an android?
This was something that the elites of humanity would definitely not be able to tolerate. Hence, Sun Mo was banned and even expelled.
The following days were filled with all sorts of obstacles.
Emma suffered a huge blow and even wanted to seek death. She felt that her life was an original sin. However, Sun Mo was positive and optimistic. He was as cheerful as the sunlight in April.
Bright and beautiful, genial and warm!
His soft words and smile seemed to be able to pierce through the cold winter of the Ice Age!
"Sun Mo's disposition is too suitable to portray such a warm and sunny guy!"
Su Ying sighed in admiration.
If it was someone else acting, people might feel that it was melodramatic and overly sweet. But if it was Sun Mo, with his handsome face, no matter how awkward his lines were, the women would still scream.
"Quickly finish filming the later parts!"
Sun Mo had had enough.
"Mn, let's continue to work hard. Let's release the movie on New Year's Day!"
Just when Su Ying wanted to say a few words to boost morale, the piercing sound of police sirens rang out.
"It's a police car, quickly run!"
Su Ying was like a rabbit that had been shot by an arrow, scurrying away.
Right now, the location they had chosen for filming was one that only the middle-class could come to. In order to enter this filming location, Su Ying had spent a lot of money to bribe the soldiers at the sentry post.
The group of people used simple and crude equipment and continued filming in this terrible environment.
Three months passed.
On the day that the filming of the movie was completed, Emma also celebrated her 17th birthday.
In the past, there would be a grand clan gathering for her birthday and there would be a ten-level birthday cake pagoda. But this year, there was only a small cake.
However, with Sun Mo by her side, Emma felt that this was enough.
At night, Sun Mo heard the sound of crying. It came from Emma's blanket.
After a while, Emma lifted Sun Mo's blanket and crawled in.
"Emma!"
Sun Mo frowned. He was a gentleman.
"I'm cold!"
As Emma spoke, she hugged Sun Mo. "Can you hug me? One minute is enough! "
Sun Mo silently sighed and hugged Emma.
...
The next time he saw Su Ying was half a month later.
"Why is your countenance so unsightly? Do you want to take a break? "
Sun Mo persuaded as he looked at Su Ying, who was sitting in front of the computer and editing the movie.
"Don't worry. I won't die."
Su Ying did not want to stop for even a moment.
A few days later, Sun Mo came to Su Ying's rented house again and discovered that he couldn't open the door. This caused his countenance to change.
After spending a few months together, he knew that Su Ying was not a liar. She would not leave with the original film, so there was only one answer left — something had happened.
As expected, after Sun Mo knocked open the door, he saw Su Ying lying on the ground, unconscious.
Call the ambulance and send him to the hospital!
Sun Mo was so busy that his feet didn't even have time to rest.
In the evening, Emma arrived.
"How is Uncle Su?"
Emma was worried.
"We're rescuing him!"
Sun Mo sighed.
The two of them waited for a while, and the doctor came out. After confirming that they were Su Ying's friends, he told them the results.
"He's overworked and overtired. What's more troublesome is that he's missing a kidney, part of his liver, and gallbladder. Oh right, he's also anemic."
The doctor surveyed Sun Mo and Emma.
"Ah?"
Luv Ma was shocked. "He has such a serious disease?"
From Emma's point of view, with so many organs missing, how many diseases must he have contracted?
"It's not a disease!"
The doctor lowered his voice. "He only lost these organs recently."
"..."
Emma was dumbfounded. As for Sun Mo, he thought of a terrifying result.
"I've checked. Those doctors' harvesting skills are too inferior. He's really lucky that he didn't die on the bed. Actually, you guys can choose me."
The doctor passed a name card to Sun Mo. "Moreover, my asking price is even higher!"
The doctor patted Sun Mo's shoulder and left.
Emma looked at Sun Mo. Her lips trembled a few times before she asked, "He's doing this to raise money?"
"That should be the case!"
Sun Mo sighed. This Su Ying didn't have a proper job, and filming a movie required a very high cost. Leaving aside everyone's salary, even the equipment, location, and post-production required money.
For this movie, Su Ying had borrowed a high-interest loan. After that, things were simple. He used his organs to repay.
"Let's go in and take a look at him!"
Sun Mo pushed the door open and entered.
Emma followed behind him.
"Let's hurry back. Don't let thieves steal the original film!"
Su Ying's pale face was filled with anxiety. He struggled to get up and put on his clothes.
"Why?"
Emma didn't understand.
"Humans should always risk their lives for something in this lifetime. Emma, don't show such an expression. I won't regret it!"
Su Ying smiled. It was a very sincere and natural kind. "This movie is the continuation of my life. Many people will be jealous of me because I've left something that belongs to me in this world."
Boohoohoo!
Emma couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying.
Although Sun Mo persuaded him again and again to let Su Ying stay in the hospital, he didn't listen. He returned to the rental house and spent another seven days to complete the final editing.
"What's left is to negotiate with those theater bosses. We can ask for a lower share, but we must ensure that the movie is screened."
Su Ying instructed.
His body was exhausted. He could only leave this matter to Sun Mo and his companions.
...
Red Sun Cinema, office.
After the boss saw the sample film, he crossed his hands and propped his chin up. He was frowning.
"Sorry, I can't screen it!"
The boss shook his head.
"Why? Is the film not good enough? "
Emma didn't understand. This movie was many times better than those B-grade movies that only knew how to sell women.
No.
They shouldn't be compared together.
"On the contrary, it's too good!"
The boss looked at Emma. "Although it's a romance film, there's a problem with the values it promotes. If I allow it to be screened, my theater might be banned!"
(The boss didn't say that I might even be assassinated by those extreme racists.)
Emma still wanted to try to persuade the boss, but Sun Mo pulled him back.
"Let's go, it's useless."
Sun Mo could see things clearly. The boss was a businessman and knew how to weigh the risks. When the risk of earning money was far less than the risk he had to bear, he naturally wouldn't do it.
"Wait a minute!"
The boss called out.
Swoosh!
Emma looked at the boss with a burning gaze. "Have you changed your mind?"
"I'm sorry!"
The boss took out two autographed copies and passed them over. "Your acting skills are really good. Can you give me your autographs?"
"..."
Emma didn't want to sign.
However, Sun Mo smiled, appearing to be very magnanimous.
"The two of you, pardon me for being straightforward. If this movie of yours was shot in a mess, I wouldn't have allowed it to be screened. After all, no one would care about something like a 'farce'. However, your acting is so outstanding, and the director's editing is so outstanding. After ordinary people watch it, their worldview will definitely be affected."
The boss's tone was sincere. "Trust me, the government will definitely not allow such ideologies to exist. It will definitely become a banned film."
The boss was right. Sun Mo's group worked hard for a month and went to all the cinema bosses in the underground world. However, no one agreed to it.
The lighting engineer wasn't convinced and went to the middle level to promote his movie. In the end, before he could even leave, he was arrested by the boss.
"What should we do now?"
Emma felt despair.
It was such a pity that such a good movie couldn't be screened.
