The box office earnings of “Siblings” soared, and “Nameless” went well as well, achieving a win-win situation.

  Previously, “Siblings” had even trampled “Nameless”, but this time, it was a comprehensive collaboration. Shen Han and Bai Bo specifically went to watch it. After watching it, they were amazed, just like many viewers.

  In the two movies, Little Bei was very different. She really looked like two different people. There were already newspapers commenting on Little Bei’s incredible acting skills.

  During this summer vacation, Shao Bei’s name resounded throughout the country. She was much more famous than before when she had won the Best Actress Award. Her limelight even surpassed that of Shen Han. Those who had criticized “Nameless” changed their stance and praised Shao Bei’s acting skills.

  After discussing Little Bei’s acting skills, everyone started discussing the movie itself. They started discussing Shao Xi and Xiao Wu.

  This movie was a celebration of the genius siblings. Then, they found out that Shao Dong had invested in it, and apart from being in charge of the movie’s costumes, Mu Jingzhe had also invested in the film.

  In short, this movie was the product of a meticulous collaboration between their family.

  Shao Xi was invited as a guest by the radio host who had first exposed the news. He wanted him to share some interesting stories about their collaboration and take this chance to promote his books.

  When the movie was released, his book was also published. It wasn’t exactly the same as a movie. A movie had its selling points, but reading books gave one a different feel.

  After the radio host received Shao Xi’s gift, he said that he must read it. Toward the end of the interview, he even asked about the story of their family.

  Shao Xi picked some things to say, and the host said, “I really hope that you’ll work together a few more times in the future and create better movies. To be honest, I didn’t know you well before, but ever since I watched the movie, I specifically went to buy your books. They’re really beautiful. I was surprised.

  “Your talent and ability… Shao Zhong… You guys call him Xiao Wu, so we’ll call him Xiao Wu on our show too. Xiao Wu’s music makes the movie even more sublime. I’m eagerly hoping that Xiao Wu will produce an album so that we can listen to his music a few more times.”

  “I’ll make Xiao Wu hurry up,” Shao Xi immediately said.

  \r \r \r

  “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Author Shao Xi. I think this is also a blessing for many people. Because the movie is beautiful, many people went to watch it a second time. Some people even went to watch it a third or fourth time in order to listen to Xiao Wu’s music. I heard that the foreign musicians who admired Xiao Wu previously can’t wait to watch the movie and listen to his music.”

  “I’m sure he will let them very soon.” Shao Xi thought to himself that Xiao Wu could earn more money in the future.

  “Other than that, I actually wanted to talk to you about how you created this story. It’s completely different from your previous stories. Have you heard our feature on nameless heroes previously? After analyzing this topic, we received many letters from our readers. Some even wanted to help the children who were left behind. What were you thinking when you wrote this story?”

  “Actually, I wrote it because I accidentally met a nameless hero. Later on…” Shao Xi recounted his thoughts and emotions while writing it but didn’t say anything else lest he exposed Fang Yu’s existence and put him in danger.

  Finally, Shao Xi said, “This story, this movie… Actually, I want to dedicate it to someone else. That person is… my father.”

  After Shao Xi’s interview, many people started paying attention and tribute to nameless heroes. Then, because of the movie and this interview, Shao Qihai, who had died and come back to life repeatedly, finally came back to life for real and entered the spotlight.

  Shao Qihai had long known that Shao Xi had his reasons for writing this story, but when he heard his confession while waiting outside the radio station, his eyes stung and he very nearly lost his composure and burst into tears.

  Shao Qihai’s past story was partly exposed, and nameless heroes received even more attention.

  As the movie’s box office sales continued to rise, the higher-ups were also paying attention to this. Shao Xi and Shao Bei were even featured in the most influential daily newspaper in the country, which described them as a source of positive energy that young people of this era should learn from.

  Mu Jingzhe was so proud that she didn’t know how to express herself with words. The entire plot of the novel had really changed.

  She remembered that in the original novel, Shao Xi and Shao Bei had also been in the daily newspaper, but not like this. Instead, they had been criticized.

  However, things were completely different now. Other than Shao Bei and Shao Xi, there was also Shao Qihai.

  Actually, everything Shao Qihai had done previously was still remembered by the higher-ups.

  Mu Jingzhe bought many newspapers and carefully put them away. In the future, as long as Shao Xi and Little Bei were fine, she believed that things wouldn’t end up like in the books.

  Now that Shao Xi and Little Bei had a lot of positive energy in their hearts, things would only get better and better in the future.

  Due to the theme of the story, although the box office earnings of “Nameless” weren’t as high as those of “Siblings”, it had a greater impact.

  Shao Xi received a letter from Fang Yu, who told him that he already knew that his father was a nameless hero.

  The story of Fang Yu’s father would still not be made public. This was also meant to protect Fang Yu and her mother. According to the higher-ups’ original plan, they would only find out about this after ten or twenty years, after everything had quietened down.

  However, because of the movie, after some discussion, they informed them in advance.

  Many children in the country learned about their parents’ stories, just like Fang Yu. Following that, they also announced a batch of unnamed heroes that could be announced.

  There were still traces of tears on the letter Fang Yu had sent. She thanked him for sending the book and letting her know about her father’s story.

  Shao Xi’s book had been ready to be published before the movie had premiered. He had also received the books early. After receiving them, he had given the first one to Fang Yu.

  When Fang Yu read it, she found it very familiar but she didn’t dare confirm this. Later on, when she went to watch the movie, she cried until her voice was hoarse.

  It wasn’t until they were informed later that Fang Yu and her mother dared to confirm their theories. The person who secretly informed them promised that he would definitely restore her father’s honor in the future.

  Only then did Fang Yu realize that Shao Xi had known this. This story only existed because of her father.

  Fang Yu cried bitterly. She couldn’t return to her hometown or visit her father’s grave, so she could only apologize to her father in front of his memorial tablet.

  “I’m sorry, Daddy. I didn’t know you left like that. I shouldn’t have said those things…”

  After apologizing to her father, Fang Yu looked at Grandma’s memorial tablet, which was beside her father’s, and told Grandma what Daddy had done. “Daddy wasn’t a bad person or a hooligan. Grandma, you can be proud of him. I’m sorry you didn’t know before. If I had known earlier and told you, you wouldn’t have passed away like that.”

  Fang Yu’s mother had been in a daze for the past few days. She took Fang Yu to watch the movie time and again, wailing each time.

  After Shao Xi received Fang Yu’s letter, he sent her two more books. “Burn one for your grandma and one for your father. They’ll see it underground too. When we have better news in the future, tell them.”

  After this incident, Shao Xi and Fang Yu felt closer. Although they had yet to meet, there was nothing they couldn’t talk about.

  Or perhaps it was because they had never met before that they weren’t so apprehensive. Many words and troubles they couldn’t share with people they knew in real life could be recounted in letters.
