The farewell letters to Smile Code written by Shen Yue and Lin Yi ♡


Shen Yue's farewell letter to Smile Code:

"Question: Where do you think you are most similar to the character?" I thought about it for a long time and found that the most rigorous answer should be: "Little Gu + Dai Wen ≈ me".
Gu Yi has a basketful of corny jokes and tears, and there is a certain power that seems to say, "I want to die, but no one can kill me." Her life has many unbelievable points of intersection with mine, but I am not entirely Gu Yi. Gu Yi is my ideal image. As for the similarity with Liang Dai Wen, I only discovered it later. He has some qualities that I have never encountered or dared to think deeply about before. For me, loving Liang Dai Wen is like loving myself in a way I have never known before. I know that I am like the real-life Liang Dai Wen, who is often slow in some things, confused, or unable to say what I want to say (which I am trying to improve). Every time this is the case, I hope that the person in front of me will be a little more patient with me. So in my view, the way Gu Yi loves someone is: Giving enough patience, approaching carefully and sincerely with love.


At this point, I suddenly want to say thank you to the friends who have been waiting for "Lost Laughter" for a long time and the friends who have accompanied us to the end of the show. The starry sky you created is also a cosmic romance. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Everyone's love has given me a lot of security in expression, and I am sure that someone will be willing to watch and listen.

@Lin Yi ! Every time I describe him to others, I will randomly pick a few of his strengths and say: "He is kind and sincere, works hard, is emotionally stable, and is easy to get along with. He is better in real life than on TV." Because he is good in every way, and this is very objective, so the above is not a compliment, but just a statement of facts. Interviewers often ask me if it is embarrassing to film with acquaintances. No. And because they are acquaintances, they know how to give me some just the right support when I can't hold on and am about to collapse. It's really fun to play different roles with the same person.

The second are @Miao Meng (Producer) and @Zou Tingwei brother. After not seeing each other for many years, I feel that they are both growing younger and younger, and they have a kind of ridiculous youthfulness. This youthfulness comes from being open-minded enough, doing things without considering gains and losses, not being constrained, and being kind to everyone within the principles. They see the me of the past and watch me now. It turns out that growth is something that does not need to be proved deliberately, and naturally someone will witness it for you.


Our director @Randy Che ! The only Iron Man in the crew who has never fallen to the end. The first time he became a director, he was assigned to an actor like me who would be so nervous that I almost fainted when I spoke on stage, but I had to do a talk show. For every talk show, I went on stage with a tragic and heroic spirit of going to die, and then held a heart that could not be broken any more in the sparse applause, pretending to be calm when I left. The director obviously does not often praise people, and he racked his brains to encourage me. The people next to me asked, why are you still crying when the director said it's OK. I really want to clench my fists and roar helplessly: That's because the director knows that this is the limit of my ability and it's not really OK! ! The director often jokes that he also has alexithymia. He is not good at expressing himself verbally, but he is really good at loving people with the camera. Thank you Director Che for letting me have my own camera of life.


Teacher Haiyan @Zhao Haiyan! She is very similar to my biological mother from the inside out. The winter in Wuhan is very cold, but Teacher Haiyan's hands are always warm. We often walk together holding hands, swaying slowly and leisurely, as if we were really mother and daughter. When acting with her, even if we don't hold hands, she has a kind of magic that pulls me and leads me steadily. Do you remember a shot where she came to see me with big bags and small bags, and I smiled and waved at her in that alley across the noisy crowd and fireworks. It was a picture that would make Gu Yi feel guilty for the rest of his life.


Finally, I want to write to Smile Code's biological mother, Teacher Zule @祖乐的小说王国 (Author). I added her WeChat the day before the show started. We both said: This is too much like sending WeChat to Gu Yi! ! We have said exactly the same words in different time and space, and expressed the same feelings about life. So magical! ! "Behind the male characters we fall in love are the souls of female authors." When I saw this sentence, the first person I thought of was Zule, and the screenwriter teacher who co-created the characters. They not only gave Liang Daiwen the most complete personality under his emotional disorder, but also gave each character the confidence to look at the world with an equal eye. Standing at billions of feet high and looking down, all the people in the world are little ants, and ants are still ants.

After Liang Daiwen left, I talked to myself in front of the camera and the scene of Da Meixia's death were all filmed in the last week. Everyone was very happy on the day of wrapping up, only the rain in my heart was still falling. I finished filming, it was over, so what should I do with Gu Yi, she will stay in the rain forever. But fortunately, our little Gu is a person who will regard the light from the broken life as the starry sky. She lives in things full of cracks but with strong vitality. I want to give her all my love.

I like Gu Yi's frankness, Liang Daiwen's unconscious gentleness, Da Meixia's fragrant smell and loud voice, and the unreliable but most reliable friends.
After a long time of preparation, today I finally want to return the role to its original state and say goodbye.
I want to thank Ms. Gu Yi again, thank you for your brief presence in my life and living in my name.
Your presence also illuminated me.

Lin Yi's comment: "And thank you for shining a light on all of us. (But I have to say that your front teeth are really not evenly painted!)"

Shen Yue's reply : "Delete the content in brackets. I can't stand hearing this.[doge][doge]"


Zou Tingwei's comment: "Hello everyone, I am actor Zou Tingwei, and I play Li Ansheng in the drama.[Ha ha]"

Shen Yue's reply : "Master[doge]"


Director Randy Che's comment: "Yueyue, thank you so much and feel so lucky that you can come into our lives. Thank you for creating the role of Gu Yi, which allowed me, a clumsy person, to complete my first directorial work with such a strong cast. Your kindness allowed me to find the strength to move forward again in this environment full of internal friction and involution. I sincerely hope that our future will be better and I look forward to our next cooperation."

Shen Yue's reply: "Let’s meet better next time[hug]"


Producer Miao's comment:  "Happy cooperation, dear Yueyue [Flowers]was healed by your Gu Yi, [Heart]looking forward to seeing you next time we work together[hug]"

Shen Yue's reply: "See you next time~[Car lift][Car lift]"


Author Zule's comment: "I am also very proud and cherish having Yueyue as "Gu Yi". Gu Yi has become my small dose of elixir, reminding me that it is worthwhile to create and to meet such a good actor. I have already said my final confession quietly, but it is really hard to express the preciousness of this friendship in words. As an actor, keep moving in your determined direction. You will definitely do well. I will always pay attention to you. Maybe we will meet in your next "life role"! Let's work hard to pick stars together and see you again with new things for each other.[Hug](You definitely understand"

Shen Yue's reply : "I can use Gu Yi's tone to imagine this passage hehe[doge]"

Lin Yi's farewell letter to Smile Code:

link to Weibo

"Friends, I'm here[wave] First, I'd like to say hello to everyone as Liang Daiwen!

Hello everyone~ I'm Liang Daiwen! (It feels like the beginning of a talk show)

Actually, every time an interview asks me to speak in Liang Daiwen's tone, I feel a little overwhelmed, haha, I don't know what to say, I'm worried that what I say is not complete and will be interpreted in other strange directions?, but when I think about it, Liang Daiwen, who has alexithymia, seems to be similar to me, but he is more direct and brave than me, he doesn't worry so much, doesn't care about the outside world's eyes, does what he wants to do, does what he thinks is right, sometimes I really think Liang Daiwen's world is actually pretty good, very pure, not so many twists and turns, no need to guess whether what he said has any meaning, what he said is what it is, it's very simple in his world.

It may be a bit biased to say this, but Liang Daiwen is probably the role I have spent the most time and energy on so far. When I finished reading the script for the first time, I knew that judging from the length of Liang Daiwen's role in the script, it would be a bit difficult to play this role well and make the audience understand it. But I still wanted to challenge myself. In order to find the part that I could grasp, I started taking classes and discussing with teachers a long time before joining the crew. The staff laughed and said that I seemed to be a little obsessed and was already at the level of doing academic seminars, but I knew that these were processes that would allow me to better understand myself and Liang Daiwen. Through Liang Daiwen, I "diagnosed" my alexithymia, which is not a bad thing for me, but a kind of growth. I am also grateful to the teacher who has been accompanying me day and night to read the script and do homework, which inspired me to find the motivation for Liang Daiwen and myself.

There was a time when I couldn't laugh or cry. I would unconsciously analyze whether I should laugh or cry at the moment. Although the analysis determined the answer, when I wanted to express it, I had already missed the outlet for that emotion. So people around me found that my reaction was always half a beat slower, and the whole person's rhythm was slow. Sometimes it was just a simple joke, and I would analyze it for a long time (but this would also have unexpected gains, just like Liang Daiwen often analyzed Gu Yi's current situation in the jokes, haha). I don't know if you can understand my inner activities.

Later I realized that my subconscious mind wanted to escape those emotions, so I always slipped away when I should give the answer to the emotion. It gradually became a subconscious habit and blocked a lot of feelings. Liang Daiwen made me know that I should pay more attention to myself, accept myself, understand myself, and not force myself to integrate into other people's world, and I don't have to live according to other people's rules. The process of studying him and becoming him actually healed me, and also allowed me to really enter Liang Daiwen and know what he was thinking about every moment in his brain without fantasy. I am really lucky to meet Liang Daiwen at such a good time. I am glad to be able to play such a role. If I hadn't explored my inner thoughts with him, I might have really become a robot. Haha!

We should also thank Shen Yue @Shen Yue for such a good reputation this time . She is a very good person. Sometimes she is so good that I hope she can play some tricks and think more about herself, but there is no way. She is such a kind person. Like Gu Yi, she will become a little conservative when encountering some things. I want to tell her that you just need to be yourself now and believe that everything will get better and better. Of course, she is also a very ambitious and dedicated actor. I see a lot of things in her that I still need to learn (although good friends don't need to say polite words, but this is really not a polite word). She is as warm and independent as Gu Yi, and can also heal the people around her and bring joy to everyone (and occasionally tease). She is completely a little sun in the universe, a walking hand warmer (bundle of energy?). We are both introverts who pretend to be extroverts in this world. It is really rare to meet good friends with the same frequency. It is even more happy to be able to create new things together. I won't say anything else. We both have a phobia of being praised. If I say too many good words, I am afraid that she will clench her fist and punch the wall again, haha!

Next, I would like to thank the producer Miao @Miao Meng and the director Che @Randy Che. This is the second time I have worked with Miao. When I was working on Liuliwa, I felt that Miao was a producer who wanted to make good content. She always wanted to convey something positive, warm and meaningful to the audience. Although there were many difficulties, she always persisted. As for Director Che, this is the first time we have worked together. Like me and Liang Daiwen, he also has some emotional barriers, so we spent a lot of time communicating and discussing this role in the early stage. I like his bold and innovative ideas, but sometimes the scene is really too dark and I am not used to it yet, so I want to ask him to turn on the lights. Haha, I also admire him for making himself look handsome every day. He is the most exquisite director I have ever seen. This is something that only people who are very self-disciplined can do. I also want to emulate him in this regard. I am very happy to work with you. I hope to work with such a serious production team in the future.

And all the actors and teachers in the play, because of their good acting skills, the audience can feel the warmth of Lost Laughter. Some of them are also teachers I have worked with in Xiyou Liuliwa. I am really happy to create with so many professional actors and learn a lot from you. Thank you for making the story of Liang Daiwen and Gu Yi more complete. (But I want to change the ending of Da Meixia. Her death was just a dream that Liang Daiwen and Gu Yi had after they got married. In fact, she was making breakfast for them. Ha) (Please deduct 1 if you support this ending)

Finally, thank you all for your hard work. I know that everyone is trying their best to let more people know about Lost Laughter and want Liang Daiwen and Gu Yi to be happy. It’s really great to meet such passionate people like you. It feels good to participate in the big project of Lost Laughter with everyone. There may be some things in this world that we can’t decide, but we can decide to become better ourselves. One day we will definitely see each other again! Passion!!!"



Shen Yue's comment: "Daily progress report: We all did a great job[good][Car lift]"

Lin Yi's reply: "This time it is definitely not a burden[good][doge]"


Producer Miao's comment: "It was a pleasure to work with Lin Yi and [cool]Liang Daiwen was great. [hug]Let’s look forward to seeing you in the next play.[Flowers]"

Lin Yi's reply: "You have worked hard too.[shake hands][shake hands][shake hands]"


Author Zule: "I’m very happy that Lin Yi played Liang Daiwen. I just looked through the circle of friends where I made a wish, and the feeling of it coming true is still amazing... The designed wrist pain, the serious comedy, the dedication to his profession, the integrity and gentleman in his bones, the constant approach to the hidden pain in the past and the desire to change his alexithymia are all performed very, very well. Most importantly, his understanding of love has also given me a lot of inspiration... Lin Yi is a great actor. I will pay attention to your future works. I hope to see Lin Yi play more excellent roles❤️"

Lin Yi's reply: "Thank you for the high evaluation from the original author!! I also want to thank Zule for writing this good story, which gave me the opportunity to meet Liang Dai Wen~"

Author's reply back: "Sincerely! Lin Yi is awesome [Hug](I'm going to secretly show Lin Yi my circle of friends for making wishes! Wait for me[doge]"
