Chapter 20 Chapter 20 New Film Concept
When An Zhi heard Le Mingqiao say "I once liked Xie Wencong", he felt something was wrong.
As expected, after the group finished breakfast, An Ruonan posted part of the chat records on her blog.
An Zhi: How about going to Lao Yang’s BBQ today?
An Zhi: I haven’t replied to your message for a day. What are you busy with?
An Zhi: Can we meet tomorrow morning? I have something to discuss with you.
After several days of greetings, Xie Wencong replied coldly: I'm busy.
It seemed that the original owner was like a dog, actively pursuing Xie Wencong, but at that time Xie Wencong's fiancée was An Ruonan.
An Zhi remembered that the original book had briefly described it. It was a year ago, when the original owner was just taken back to the wealthy family, she was neglected by the servants, housekeeper and her father. But at that time, Xie Wencong was very kind to the original owner.
The original owner's first movie was invested by Xie Wen Chong. Because of the investment, Xie Wen Chong often went to the set to meet the original owner. After a few visits, the original owner was bewitched and began to fall in love with Xie Wen Chong.
The chat records between the two are somewhat ambiguous, but it must be said that this intercepted part is very coincidental, as it is all conversations in which the original owner actively shows concern for Xie Wencong.
As soon as this chat record was posted on the blog, An Ruonan denied that the screenshot of Yu Feixing was not of her, and her fans started to be sarcastic.
[Oh my god, I had a slightly better impression of An Zhi because of the movie "Taming," but I didn't expect his character is still so bad. He hooked up with his sister's boyfriend. Does he have any moral sense?]
[She even used Yu Feixing to slander An Ruonan. Why would An Ruonan hook up with Yu Feixing? Don't you see that all of our Nan Nan's boyfriends are richer and more powerful than Yu Feixing?]
[I was already pissed off at An Zhi, but now he's being mean to Nan Nan. I think he's jealous of Nan Nan and Xie Wen Chong being together, so he's deliberately giving Nan Nan a hard time!]
There are also people who became fans of An Zhi because of "Taming" and came out to speak for An Zhi.
[The screenshot might be photoshopped. An Ruonan's real name is on TK, so this is solid evidence that she hooked up with Yu Feixing.]
[Then your real name might be photoshopped, who knows!]
Both sides suspected that the other side's evidence was false, and they argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
An Zhi discovered that the original owner had deleted Xie Wen Chong and the chat records were not backed up, so there was no way to prove that it was Xie Wen Chong who first hooked up with the original owner.
However, An Zhi didn't plan to continue to entangle with An Ruonan. Seeing that the discussion about Song Jingye in the hot searches was almost disappearing, she could understand what An Ruonan and her group were planning.
If they want to use these celebrity scandals to suppress the real facts, An Zhi will definitely not let them do so.
So An Zhi directly announced on TK: On July 19th, at 21:00, "Taming 2-The Choice" will be broadcast on TK.
Then he asked Sheng Jiong to register a second account, take a screenshot of this, and then use the trending tags #An Ruonan Yu Feixing #An Zhi Xie Wen Chong #sisters interfering in each other's relationships to post a promotional ad: Oh my god! An Zhi responded!
An Ruonan's fans, who were arguing heatedly, refreshed their blogs almost every second and soon came across this response blog.
Everyone excitedly clicked on it, and then saw what An Zhi responded with! !
Who cares when "Taming 2" will air? They want to know what the relationship between An Zhi and Xie Wen Chong is!
Although they swore they would never go to see it, they had already kept this date in mind.
-
An Zhi took out the remaining scar-removing pills from the drawer. There was a small transparent bottle filled with pink pills, and nearly half of them were left.
She took it out and handed it to Wei Pan: "Take a bite, it's strawberry flavored, it will work after you take it. If it's not enough, tell me again."
Jiang Wenjun was filled with gratitude: "Just take this medicine? It's that simple? An Zhi... I really don't know how to repay you..."
An Zhi waved his hand: "Eat first, I have something to discuss with Yu Feixing, you guys hurry up and catch up on your sleep."
After she finished talking with Yu Feixing, she also wanted to go to bed. She was too sleepy. She had to work on "Taming 2" without stopping, otherwise the popularity would disappear and it would be easier for Song Jingye to escape legal punishment.
Wei Pan held the bottle tightly, his eyes following An Zhi.
She didn't expect An Zhi to give her the pill so easily and help them escape from the cage.
If this scar removal medicine can really remove her scars, then it is priceless. After all, the effect is so amazing. An Zhi just gave her half a bottle as if she were throwing a piece of candy.
Wei Pan had only met people with bad intentions over the years, and this was the first time he had met someone like An Zhi, who didn't even make a request.
She didn't dare to eat it, because if it really worked, she didn't know how to repay...
Wei Pan stared at An Zhi, watching her take out the medicine box, and then pulled Yu Feixing out, completely ignoring them...
Yu Feixing closed the door, blocking out Wei Pan's prying eyes.
He was puzzled: "What are you doing with the medicine box?"
An Zhi sat on the dilapidated stairs, patted the side of himself, and motioned Yu Feixing to sit down.
She asked, "When you grabbed my arm, there was blood. Where did it get on your hand? Did you get scratched when you were climbing the wall? Let me see."
Yu Feixing subconsciously put his hands behind his back and shook his head.
An Zhi looked up at Yu Feixing. He seemed to be in a bad mood today.
They had only been together for two or three days, but Yu Feixing's usual expression of not smiling was different from today.
An Zhi couldn't explain it specifically, but it was probably because although the person was in front of them, the God was always absent.
An Zhi asked, "Then treat the wound yourself. If there's blood, disinfect it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's easy to get infected with dirt."
Yu Feixing nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go back and deal with it... If you have nothing else to do, you can go back to sleep."
He tilted his head slightly, his hair almost covering the tip of his nose, and the shadow cast on his face, making him look inexplicably fragile.
An Zhi softened her heart a little, pursed her lips, and didn't want to let Yu Feixing leave just like that.
Yu Feixing does not value his own life, so he is more likely to do something extreme and irreparable, and he is definitely the type of person who does great things quietly.
Because for a boy like Yu Feixing who grew up alone, perhaps fighting for his life is the only thing he can do to protect himself.
So An Zhi had to pay more attention to him, because this guy's loyalty was given for free!
After all, it was because of him that the plot of the first short film was set up, and we also had the information to catch Song Jingye.
An Zhi stood up and pretended to pass by, but when he stood side by side with Yu Feixing, he quickly grabbed the person's wrist.
Yu Feixing was shocked: "You..."
He seemed a little scared, his voice trembling nervously: "It's ugly, disgusting, don't look at it, let me go..."
An Zhi didn't care and carefully took off the man's gloves.
The first thing that caught my eye was the extremely pale skin and the raised blue blood vessels.
Then the slender fingers and broad joints were pulled off, and the last bit of neatly trimmed nails were exposed.
There are no scary scars, and this hand is obviously very beautiful.
An Zhi said, "How can it be ugly? It's very pretty. You are deliberately trying to get me to praise you."
Her tone of voice rose, her eyes curved, as if she was joking.
Yu Feixing's ears turned red and he looked away: "I didn't..."
An Zhi turned the person's palm over and saw that the fingertips were full of needle holes, most of which had already scabbed over. Judging from the time the scabs formed, An Zhi guessed that they were deliberately punctured not long ago.
With An Zhi staring at the wound so intently, Yu Feixing's fingers unconsciously bent and twitched slightly.
He could clearly pull his hand away, but he just let himself indulge, let himself indulge in the desire to be touched by An Zhi, and let himself let his eyes wander on An Zhi's fingertips.
The more he realized his ugly desires, the more unbearable Yu Feixing found it.
How can you blaspheme An Zhi...
This can't happen...
But it's so comfortable...
The two emotions were constantly pulling at each other, and the corners of Yu Feixing's eyes turned red.
The little devil leaned on An Zhi's shoulder and watched the crazy increase in loyalty value, hesitant to speak... An Zhi said to turn off the reminder... Anyway, it rose and fell at first, but it rose more...
An Zhi pulled him to the stairs, made him sit down in a row, and then took out iodine to disinfect Yu Feixing.
She said, "You did this yourself, didn't you? Why did you do this? Yu Feixing, you are the first actor in my agency. If you are unhappy about anything, you have to tell me, your boss."
Yu Feixing's heart is connected to his fingers. His condition is really bad, and he can even swallow such pain.
An Zhi gently applied the medicine and blew on it. Seeing that Yu Feixing didn't say anything, he looked up at him and asked, "Hmm?"
Yu Feixing's eyelashes trembled, and she struggled to control her gaze from An Zhi's fingers. She replied softly, "Very happy."
"Huh? You're happy and you're stabbing yourself?" An Zhi moved closer, insisting that Yu Feixing look into her eyes and not hide from her.
Yu Feixing's face flushed and he pursed his thin lips even tighter, which made him look a little more childish, like a stubborn teenager.
An Zhi smiled and stopped forcing Yu Feixing, saying that he had to take it slowly.
She said, "I know that for people with mental illnesses, the treatment might be to inflict pain on themselves, and you might need that pain, but can you use a rubber band instead? What if the needle you prick yourself with gets rusty?"
Yu Feixing wanted to explain that he would replace the rusty needle, but he glanced at An Zhi and the words on his lips turned into: "Yeah, okay."
An Zhi was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Feixing to listen to her advice so much. She took off the other glove and saw various pinholes.
After applying iodine to each finger, she said, "The wound is small and needs to be able to breathe, so there's no need to put a Band-Aid on it."
Yu Feixing listened silently, his eyes following An Zhifei's flying fingers.
He watched her put her gloves on again. She was still saying something, but Yu Feixing could no longer hear it. The sound of her heartbeat and her own breathing covered everything.
He bent his legs, lowered his head lower and lower, and looked more and more embarrassed.
After An Zhi finished, he patted Yu Feixing on the shoulder and said, "Go back to sleep. Once you've rested well, you can get ready to start work!"
Yu Feixing responded softly, and An Zhi turned around and prepared to go back to the house.
After a while, she didn't hear the familiar footsteps, and looked back at Yu Feixing in surprise.
Yu Feixing rested one hand on his knee, and he didn't have time to look away, or rather, it was the first time he didn't deliberately try to look away.
An Zhi was puzzled: "Why are you still sitting here? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
As usual, Yu Feixing ran very fast. After saying goodbye, he disappeared the next second.
Yu Feixing shook his head slowly: "I'll watch you go home."
An Zhi was puzzled. What was so interesting about these two steps? So he waved to him: "Good night! Go back quickly. I want to see you tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the room, leaving only a faint sweet fragrance.
An Zhi was startled by Wei Pan standing by the door and asked in confusion: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to bed?"
She looked up and saw that Sheng Jiong and Le Mingqiao had already entered the room, and Jiang Wenjun was probably still washing up in the bathroom.
Five people were crammed into a small two-bedroom, one-living room apartment!
Even if Sheng Jiong has a family, they have to squeeze in here!
She had to move quickly to a bigger house. Anyway, she had some spare money and could afford to live in a better place.
Wei Pan held the bottle and hesitated, "What do you want?"
An Zhi waved his hand and said, "I've already told you guys don't have anything I want, little brat, go to sleep quickly, or you might not grow taller."
She untied her hair as she walked, tossing her shoes aside, changing into comfortable furniture and removing them before lying directly on the couch.
Wei Pan still didn’t understand. Is there really someone who doesn’t want anything?
She pursed her lips, her eyes revealing her distrust.
An Zhi put his hands behind his head and asked calmly, "This medicine isn't bitter, do you still need me to coax you into taking it?"
Wei Pan was furious: "I don't need it! I just..."
She stomped her feet in frustration and went into the bedroom to hide.
Then he heard An Zhi drawling, "You've entered the wrong room."
Wei Pan: “…”
She came out of the room awkwardly and changed to another bedroom. Just before the door closed, a small voice floated out: "Hello... Good night... And thank you."
An Zhi curled the corners of her mouth, looking a little amused, and yawned. She didn't really want to squeeze with Le Mingqiao. Fortunately, the sofa was soft enough, so she grabbed a blanket and prepared to sleep.
The little devil couldn't hold it in any longer: [An An! Aren't you curious about loyalty? ]
An Zhidu was about to fall asleep: [Isn’t there any change? ]
[It's changed! Yu Feixing is now 5000! Wei Pan is now 100!]
An Zhi opened his eyes quickly: [Duo Shao?? ! !]
The little devil's tail swung like a spinning machine, and he said happily: [5000!! Unlocking Yu Feixing's life from childhood to adulthood, this time from the first person's perspective, and Wei Pan's first kill from the full perspective. Do you want to see it?]
An Zhi covered his face with a blanket and said depressedly: [Do you want me to die suddenly... Let's see!]
-
At the same time, Yu Shaojin asked his men to come up with the rules of the "Suspense Short Play Competition", and they finally finished it after working all night.
They originally planned to give the new director a week to shoot, and the official competition would begin on July 24, with rankings based on a comprehensive calculation of the number of views, comments, and rewards.
But they didn’t expect that Anzhi would broadcast “Taming 2” 3 days later!
There was no other way. Yu Shaojin's intention was to snatch An Zhi's traffic, so they had to move the start time of the competition to three days later.
In this world, scripts, capital, and actors are monopolized by big directors and big companies. When the new generation of directors heard that KS was going to hold a competition, they were extremely excited. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
KS’s announcement has been released, and the number of registrations has already reached tens of thousands!
A large number of them are new generation directors who have been envious of the traffic of An Zhi's suspense short films and are ready to follow suit and make short films. Now that KS officials are giving them both traffic and money, they all rush to sign up.
"Taming" has already amassed over 100 million views in just two days. If it weren't directed by An Zhi, any other director would be a hot star, favored by investors and actors. But An Zhi is the one everyone unanimously wants banned...
But even though he was banned by the industry, An Zhi still fought his way out! Not only did he revitalize TK, he is also about to sign an advertiser. The new generation of directors are sure that An Zhi will make a fortune!
The prospects for suspense short films must be very good!
So seeing that only two days were left, we gritted our teeth and decided to start filming all night long!
The new generation of directors excitedly began looking for scripts, but they were dumbfounded...
There is no suspense movie script at all!!
The suspense film market has been shrinking for far too long. Few editors are willing to write suspense films, and there are fewer novels. The new generation of directors, dumbfounded by the paucity of scripts, are beginning to have a new idea...
Since Anzhi’s adaptations of real events are so popular... why don’t they also adapt real cases!!
On the other hand, An Ruonan, who had been angry all night, didn't expect Yu Feixing to post the chat records directly. Fortunately, she had a backup plan!
Because she wrote that An Zhi had pursued Xie Wencong, she pressed Xie Wencong for a long time before he finally got the chat records and posted them online.
At this moment, everyone's attention was diverted, and they were more focused on attacking An Zhi for actually pursuing Xie Wen Chong.
After finally diverting the fans' attention, she was depressed that An Zhi did not respond to the rumor, but instead promoted the broadcast time of her short film "Taming 2"!
This did not achieve the effect An Ruonan wanted at all. She kept checking her phone and looking at the trending searches.
Until I saw the blog post of the film review blogger - Ali, I couldn't help but complain after reading it. Will she write a bad review? It's not as professional as what she wrote as an An Zhi hater!
An Ruonan rolled up her sleeves and began to read "Taming" over and over again, preparing to start writing it herself.
A friend recommended "Taming" to me, saying it was one of the best suspense films in recent years, so I went to see it excitedly. However, I think people have over-glorified "Taming." It's indeed a good short film, but there's no need to praise it so highly. Ultimately, the story is just a cliché attempt to expose the dark side of society.
First, the characterization is hollow. Yu Feixing kills people for no apparent reason. This murder plot is presented to satisfy the audience, but let's ask ourselves: are these values really good? Fighting violence with violence, using evil to fight evil—this is not the culture we promote. If this is the case, then what is the point of having laws?
There are also some funny scenes, such as the one where Yu Feiyue chases Song Ye with a stick. There is a hollow feeling of forced violence to fight violence, which makes everyone lack sympathy for the victim later.
If the intention is to protect the victim or to expose the victim, people will just think that the victim has not suffered any harm and will not be able to sympathize with him at all.
There's also this inexplicable empathy. I don't know what it's about. By arranging for four girls to be murdered, is the villain's evilness to be emphasized by the sheer number of them? Is it necessary to use this method to emphasize it? Using women's deaths to incite hatred towards the villain is something I really don't like.
The market for suspense films has not been very good. Suddenly a suspense film comes out. We should support it, but there is no need to deify it!
Be wary of this kind of blind worship and following trends. Watch movies rationally. Whether it's a suspense film, a romance film, or a science fiction film, it's ultimately just entertainment. There's really no need to talk about saving the suspense film market or saving those who have been spoiled by romance films.
It was already afternoon when An Ruonan finished writing. She immediately sent it to Ali using her second account, transferred some money, and instructed: Your comments are too vague. You should use details to prove what is wrong with this short film. Only then will it prove that you have watched it carefully, and everyone will agree with your opinion.
Blogger Ali wanted to block this daddy-like account on the spot, but then again, the other party gave him 200,000...
He had no choice but to hold his nose and start posting it online.
In fact, some of the film reviews that Ali wrote in the past were quite agreeable to everyone, but those that received good reviews were all written because he truly hated those movies.
But Taming was different. He really loved watching suspense films! He had finally found one, and he had no intention of criticizing it at all.
But Xie Wencong’s people told him to curse, so what could he do... If he didn’t curse, his account would be blocked.
So Ali had to write something against his will, but he actually wanted to continue promoting more suspense films for everyone to watch!
Ali was actually quite happy to see that many people disagreed with his comments below his blog. Look! So many people still have normal aesthetic standards.
However, as soon as the new blog post was published, the number of likes for this rational and first-praise-then-criticism model skyrocketed.
[I also agree with what the blogger said, the taming is good, but not as awesome as everyone praises]
Personally, I think this movie is just an okay commercial short. I'm also confused as to why the victim couldn't be a man? Why did they have to be so miserable? I hate using tragic stories to create grand narratives.
[That's absolutely right! I guess the high number of views is probably because many people are just trying to support An Zhi and are watching the show twice or three times. The actual data is actually not that good.]
[The reason everyone likes it so much is because there haven't been many suspense films lately. If you compare it to a bunch of other directors, you'll realize An Zhi's work is just so-so.]
[Isn't KS planning a suspense film competition? Just wait and see. In two days, there will be tons of short films that are far superior to An Zhi's!]
The number of likes and reposts for this blog post increased rapidly. An Zhi’s fans wanted to defend him, but found that there was nothing they could say in response. The other person praised you first and expressed only his own feelings. What else can you do?
Are you going to scold An Ruonan’s fans just because they are being unreasonable?
They can't do it and don't want to do it.
One user responded: "I hope everyone will always be so reasonable and there's no need to mythify us. Please open your eyes and see what all the popular movies were like before An Zhi made this suspense film. They were so distorted!"
Take last year’s box office hit “Fight for Love” for example. Two overbearing bosses competed for the female lead, and in the end, the three of them went together, and the female lead became the cook for the two overbearing bosses.
But how could we not love these two domineering CEOs? The whole movie is just their personal show, with business wars, fights for love, car racing, gambling and other confrontational scenes, and the two men they portray are so handsome.
But what about the heroine? She's portrayed as someone who can cook, considerate, and pretty, but what else is there? This movie has actually sparked a wave of cooking classes, which is quite funny.
Blogger, you've praised this movie to the skies, so why are you being detached now? Is An Zhi's movie being detached now?
As soon as this comment was replied, An Zhi's fans reacted and said, "Yes, yes, they always felt that the blog was weird." As soon as this person said it, everyone realized it.
In any case, An Zhi is the first person to shoot a suspense short film in recent years, and he is also the first tour guide to make suspense films popular again.
Just based on this, why can't he be deified?
What's more, An Zhi filmed it very well and even got the real murderer caught!
An Zhi's fans were immediately fired up and began to attack the speeches of all the rational people.
An Zhi knew nothing about the news on the Internet.
After watching the two new clips she had obtained from the system, she made herself a cup of black coffee.
The previous decision that “Taming 2” would be a film that would do the opposite and make everyone support the death penalty changed all of a sudden.
She had a brand new idea, one that she didn't know if it would be useful.
But she wanted to shoot it this way.
So An Zhi drank coffee in big gulps while writing the script and drawing the storyboard despite feeling sleepy.
It wasn't until everyone woke up that An Zhi finally finished the painting. He hurriedly told Le Mingqiao about several filming locations he needed to find and how many more actors he needed to look for.
After she finished explaining, she returned to her room and fell asleep immediately, soundly and sweetly.
After reading the script, Le Mingqiao and others remained silent for a long time.
