Chapter 71
Ta Xue Forum.
QAQ This summer feels so boring, there hasn't been a single hit drama.
As the title suggests.
NO.1: "The Legend of the Mountain and Sea".
NO2: What is "The Legend of Mountains and Seas"? I've never even heard of it [laughing bitterly]
NO3: This definitely doesn't count. The costumes and props are perfunctory, and the plot is melodramatic and clichéd. Every time I see a post about Shan Hai, I don't even have the desire to click on it.
NO4: Shan Hai should have flopped, right? Nobody on my WeChat Moments mentioned this show. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it.
NO5: Actually, it's good. As long as you get through the first eight episodes, the rest is really exciting.
NO6: ...After getting through the first eight episodes, why don't you just let me get through all forty episodes?
NO7: The audience's patience is limited. If it's not good, it's not good. Fans should give up resisting. Don't try to save face everywhere. It will only make you a laughing stock.
NO.8: Nominated for "My Youth". The campus drama is really good and youthful. I watched ten episodes in one go and couldn't stop.
NO9: Those who post ads, please don't click in.
NO10: Haven't the capital market given up on campus idol dramas yet? I just want to ask, which high school student doesn't study all day and just thinks about love, framing, and abortion?
NO11: Haha, all I want to say is that good girls really don't like blond guys.
NO12: I am the kind of good girl that parents talk about. I am really annoyed by the portrayal of good students as degenerates in TV dramas. Who is it that likes delinquents? We good girls would never be so blind!
NO13: Yeah, yeah, do you even know what a good girl is? A good girl is someone who listens to her parents, studies hard, and doesn't date too early. If she dares to date a blond guy, what kind of good girl is she?!
NO14: Let me tell you one, "A Dream of Qingzhou".
NO. 15: Another wildly popular drama that's only visible to fans...
NO.16: Big daring!
NO17: LOL, I haven't seen any of these recommended in the comments section. It feels like the more you recommend, the more it proves the original poster is right. There really wasn't a hit drama this summer. I think a hit drama should at least reach the level of last year's "Empress Wu Zetian".
NO18: Last year it was really popular. I wasn't interested in watching it at first, but my mom played it at home every day, and I would glance at it every now and then. As a result, I became obsessed and fell in love with Tang Ningshuang.
NO19: "Empress Wu Zetian" made many people famous. Tang Ningshuang is now a top star. I saw her on the cover of a big magazine a few days ago.
NO20: Tang Ningshuang is a leading lady both on and off screen.
NO21: Du Jing is also good. Recently, there have been rumors that he has collaborated with a famous director.
NO22: Yes, yes, the movie "The Mystery of Qiandao Lake," a collaboration between Du Jing and director Li Chuanjun, will be exclusively broadcast on Xilaiduo Video this winter break. Stay tuned!
NO23: There are also Du Jing's fans here. Your family has really improved by sight. I remember once when I was watching a film crew promote their film at a shopping mall, he was always standing on the very edge of the group.
NO24: It really is a case of hardship turning into happiness. You have no idea how grateful I am to Eryuetian. As for the terrible dramas my brother acted in, even I, as a fan, didn't have the patience to watch them. I really don't know where Eryuetian found my brother to play Li Zhi.
NO25: Hahahaha, just thinking about how February Sky is trying so hard to find actors in bad movies makes me want to laugh!
NO26: February Sky is really good. She is responsible for her scripts and is very kind and warm to the artists in the crew. I don't know why so many people on the Internet dislike her.
NO27: Because she's famous. If they don't ruin her reputation, how can anyone else climb up to her? [doge]
NO28: Things are fine outside, but the main problem is Fei Hong.
NO29: Was Fei Hong not good to her?
NO30: Fei Hong is quite good to her, I mean many people on the Taxue forum who criticize her.
NO31: I'm quite looking forward to "Legend of the Qing Dynasty". At the current pace, I estimate that "Legend of the Qing Dynasty" will not be released until next year at the earliest.
NO32: Next year, wouldn't that be perfect timing for the summer movie season? Hehe!
NO33: Expecting a spectacular performance.
NO34: Well, I advise you not to buy stocks in advance. Generally, the more anticipated a show is, the more likely it is to flop when it finally airs.
NO35: I'll leave a comment and wait and see the results next year.
NO36: I don't know what February Sky is doing now. They're not filming dramas or writing articles. I watched "Interstellar Internet Celebrity" again, but I can't watch it again anytime soon.
NO37: Goddess, please come back and write more, my world can't do without you.
NO38: Same request.
NO39: I'm really looking forward to February Sky's new book. Every time I read it, it's like opening a blind box. And every time she starts a new book, some readers say they're not interested in the new subject matter, but in the end, they all fall in and are proven wrong. I never get tired of this reversal.
NO40: Same expectation.
......
Li Qinqin also wanted to know what Eryuetian was doing. She closed the post and went to Dayan to take a look, but unfortunately, Eryuetian hadn't posted anything since the last audition.
Her latest post on her homepage is announcing the successful conclusion of the preliminary selection process.
Four months have passed since the auditions, and February Sky has remained completely silent. Can anyone really resist posting anything?
Li Qinqin found it hard to believe.
-Are you alright, sir? Let me know if you're okay.
Li Qinqin left a comment under the latest update before reluctantly leaving.
Meanwhile, Xu Ying, whose whereabouts were of great interest to readers, was at home enjoying the air conditioning while playing mahjong with Qingfeng, Fuyou, and Zhou Xingyun. Several cups of milk tea, glistening with water droplets, were placed on a small table next to her.
"Five items."
"I'll touch it!"
Mayfly reached out and retrieved the five arrows that Xu Ying had just thrown out.
Xu Ying sighed, "So you just want to touch me, huh?"
"Hey, I don't have any. Who knew it would be such a coincidence that you have all the cards I need..."
"Hurry up, it's almost my turn to draw a tile," Zhou Xingyun urged. She was just one tile away from winning and wanted to draw the tile herself.
"Xu Ying, has your crew's training course started yet? Why don't you send Fuyou over for training too?" Qingfeng teased casually.
The mayfly glared angrily.
Zhou Xingyun raised an eyebrow: "Our teacher Liu's classes are very expensive; they're not free for outsiders."
It's almost August. Xu Ying and Zhou Xingyun had previously hired Teacher Liu as the etiquette instructor for the film crew, and she has now started training the actors.
"So, how's it going? Any results?"
Xu Ying shook her head: "It won't be that fast. This is just the beginning. Let's wait half a month and see."
"Oh dear, so close!" Fuyou looked at her hand with regret. Why did it have to be a five of bamboo? Just one more kong and she could have won. After discarding the five of bamboo, Fuyou asked, "When are you planning to start your new book? I've seen a lot of people on the forum guessing the subject of your new book."
"It will be open soon, in August."
Xu Ying has already decided on the theme for her new book: a spy story set in the Republican era, which was the idea she had before. However, the Yu Kingdom in this world has never experienced foreign invasion, so she doesn't know if they can accept the Republican era setting.
"What's there to be unable to accept? Readers can accept whatever kind of setting the author creates, as long as you write it well and enjoyably!"
Xu Ying voiced her concerns and immediately received a positive response from Zhou Xingyun.
Mayfly nodded in agreement: "Indeed, even with my book set up that way, not many people like it."
Qingfeng glanced at her with amusement: "You know your character setting is weird, huh?"
"There's no way around it, this is the kind of setting that makes it feel right. Feeling is everything, you know? I can't write without feeling." Ephemeral can't write formulaic stories, not because she doesn't want to, but because she simply doesn't know how.
She used to envy others who could make money writing "Little White Flower" and wanted to write one herself, but when she sat in front of the computer, she couldn't write a single word.
She couldn't write for money; she could only write out of love. Fortunately, her writings, done out of love, had a following; otherwise, she would have been homeless.
"I won! Hahaha!"
Zhou Xingyun suddenly raised her voice and spread out her cards. Qingfeng had just discarded a four of characters, and she had reluctantly refrained from winning, but she actually managed to draw it herself.
Xu Ying slumped her shoulders: "I just finished playing my useless hand and you won? Aren't I the host? How come I have such bad luck?"
Ever since they bought a mahjong machine at home, Qingfeng and Fuyou have loved to hang around her.
We were always one player short before.
Whenever they were short of players, Fuyou would ask Xu Ying to call Lin Zhongxu over. However, Lin Zhongxu's school was far away, and he had to attend classes, so it was inconvenient for him to come over all the time. The three of them could only agree to play on weekends when Lin Zhongxu was on vacation.
Now, Zhou Xingyun has also come to Shanghai.
The mahjong table was suddenly full of people.
The mahjong table was full, but Xu Ying's luck was terrible. She didn't know why she kept losing more than she won when playing mahjong with these three people.
Especially today, she didn't win a single game. Every time she had a chance to win, someone else would snatch it away. This time it was Zhou Xingyun, and last time it was Qingfeng.
Qingfeng pushed the mahjong tiles in his hand into the machine, and upon hearing this, he immediately smiled maliciously: "Then next time you should invite Lin Zhongxu, maybe he'll bring you good luck."
Lin Zhongxu definitely likes Xu Ying.
She and Fuyou had nothing going on, and she always arrived very early to play cards, so she saw Lin Zhongxu bring a lot of food and drinks several times.
These things may not be worth much money, but they require effort.
She was too impatient to spend so much time choosing food and drinks, and she always just gave her nephew small change.
Speaking of Lin Zhongxu, Zhou Xingyun immediately chimed in, "I almost forgot, isn't Lin Zhongxu still in school? He should be on summer vacation now, right? Hey Xu Ying, is he coming to intern for our film crew this time?"
Her impression of Lin Zhongxu was still from the time when "Empress Wu Zetian" was filmed; in her memory, he was Xu Ying's younger brother, a relative of hers.
Before Xu Ying could speak, the mayfly came out and made things worse.
"An internship? This is a great opportunity, Xu Ying, seize it!"
Zhou Xingyun was confused: "What good opportunity? What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. Lin Zhongxu is his younger brother."
"Ah, my younger brother?"
Mayfly and Gentle Breeze both looked at Xu Ying. Had they misunderstood?
Zhou Xingyun also looked over.
Xu Ying didn't know what to say for a moment.
How did the conversation develop to this point? It seemed that as long as she admitted that the other person was not her biological brother, there would really be something between them.
"No, we're just neighbors," Xu Ying said truthfully.
Mayfly: "Mmm~~~"
Zhou Xingyun looked shocked: "What? He's not my biological brother? Then why did I always think you were relatives?"
The way she looked at Xu Ying was different now.
If Lin Zhongxu isn't his biological younger brother, then his casual entry and exit from Xu Ying's room on set would seem very suspicious.
