Movie Proposal: A Heartfelt Romantic Gesture
Before the movie started, a romantic proposal video was aired. Li Yan, a young man from Shijiazhuang, held 99 red roses in his hands and knelt down on one knee, slipping an engagement ring onto his girlfriend Xiaoqing's finger... On the afternoon of August 20th, before the screening of the film "Love Notification" at Jinzonglmu Grand Cinema, a special proposal video was broadcast. This entire romantic gesture was meticulously planned by Li Yan, who wished to surprise his girlfriend with happiness on her birthday.
Before the Screening, a Proposal Video Played
At 4:50 PM on August 20th, as the audience waited for "Love Notification" to begin at Jinzonglmu Grand Cinema, instead of the expected film, a carefully designed "proposal announcement" appeared on the screen.
"Today, I am going to do the most important thing in my life," said Li Yan, as scenes of his relationship with Xiaoqing unfolded— their first meeting, their first kiss, their first couple photo... "Because of you, my life has meaning. Making you the happiest person makes me the happiest person." Li Yan's sincere and bold declaration of love earned enthusiastic applause from all the viewers in the cinema, while Xiaoqing was moved to tears.
After the short video ended, Li Yan, who had left under a pretext, suddenly appeared holding roses and a ring. He knelt down in front of Xiaoqing and proposed to her in front of the entire audience. The audience stood up, waiting for Xiaoqing's response. After she gave her affirmative answer, everyone clapped and offered their blessings. Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Xiaoqing, who was still immersed in the joy of the moment, and excitedly declared, "You've been my girlfriend for a long time. Today, I want you to be my wife. I will love you forever!"
Li Yan told reporters that he met his girlfriend Xiaoqing at a self-service restaurant three years ago. August 20th happened to be Xiaoqing's birthday, and Li Yan had planned to propose to her on this day a month earlier. To create a romantic and unforgettable proposal, Li Yan racked his brain. After much planning, he decided to make a short video capturing their three-year journey of love and present it to Xiaoqing, hoping to revisit their love story through this video.
With a plan in place, Li Yan needed to execute it. To display the video appropriately without arousing Xiaoqing's suspicion beforehand, Li Yan carefully planned everything. "Broadcasting the video before the movie starts is the best way to surprise her," he said. A month ago, Li Yan communicated with the cinema staff in advance and received their full support. According to the cinema staff, to ensure Li Yan's proposal went smoothly, the cinema arranged a special discount session that afternoon. "All viewers watching this session could enjoy a special ticket price of 10 yuan." Additionally, the cinema decorated the hall with pink heart-shaped balloons to create a romantic atmosphere.
The Romantic Proposal Earns Widespread Blessings
Witnessing Li Yan's entire proposal process, the audience was filled with excitement, expressing their heartfelt blessings for Li Yan and Xiaoqing. "It was so romantic! Scenes like this usually only happen in TV dramas. May their love last forever."
Reporters learned that among the viewers of this session were not only regular audiences but also over twenty friends of Li Yan and Xiaoqing, forming a family and friends team. Witnessing Li Yan and Xiaoqing's happy moment, they were especially thrilled. "I'm so excited and nervous. I wish them happiness and hope they stay together forever!"
The staff of Jinzonglmu Grand Cinema, who had been helping organize the proposal ceremony, also expressed their wishes: "Being personally involved in this proposal was incredibly exciting. Our cinema is willing to assist young people in such ways, and we hope all lovers end up together!"
More Romantic Ways to Propose
The most common way to propose worldwide involves presenting roses and an engagement ring. However, more and more young people are breaking away from tradition, coming up with creative ideas aimed at achieving something "even more romantic."
- Sky Proposal
During a flight, you can ask the pilot to convey your proposal to your girlfriend via the radio communication system. For instance, you might request the pilot to say, "We're flying over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in about 40 minutes, we'll reach our destination. By the way, Anna, Li Ke wants to know if he has the honor of marrying you."
- Highway Proposal
As she drives home, the shoe advertisement on the billboard ahead suddenly changes to "Sweetie, will you marry me?" This would surely amplify the effect of your proposal.
- Love Policeman
This requires some coordination with real police officers. If she's pulled over by a policeman while driving and receives a "proposal ticket," it would certainly be an original experience.
- Lucky Stars of Love
Write countless reasons why you love her on colorful paper, fold them into lucky stars, and fill a glass jar with them. Give it to her, and during your free time, read these reasons together. One day, seemingly casually, reveal the star containing your promise of marriage—a diamond ring—and express what you want to say.
