The viewership of "The Waves" did not decline but continued to rise, and more and more people on the Internet were recommending this comedy war film.
[I never expected that Lin Yang, this handsome guy, wouldn't have any idol baggage. Is he planning to go for a comedic route? I have to say, he definitely has a comedic side.]
[Haha, I'm a fan of Lin Yang. Now, looking at Lin Yang in "The Waves" and then at his amazing looks from the talent show, I really can't recognize him. How could this guy who's been through so much trouble be my idol? Hahaha]
[Verification complete. The person upstairs is a fake fan. They're laughing so loudly just because their idol is stepping in cow dung. They must be a fake fan.]
[After watching so many of Zhang Chenxi's idol dramas, I realized my daughter actually has a more dashing and heroic look! Her strong, sword-like eyebrows are so beautiful. I suggest Zhang Chenxi's post-production team stick with those eyebrows; they're too powerful! I love her! Ahhh!]
[Zhang Chenxi's heroic look has definitely made her stand out. I used to always have trouble distinguishing these young actresses who were constantly trending on social media, but now, looking at her, Zhang Chenxi's appearance is clearly heroic and dashing, very distinctive. She's one of a kind among these young actresses. I don't know why she was so insistent on wearing willow-leaf eyebrows and playing innocent, naive girls and rich heiresses before.]
Thank you for the comments above. Chenxi will continue to work hard and bring you more works!
[Great! Director Lin really knows how to play the game, turning idol actors into comedic figures and delicate, innocent girls into heroic ladies. Director Lin is truly skilled. I wonder when he'll get a chance to work with my idol and give him a chance too!]
The popularity of "Waves" is different from Lin Xiaoxiao's previous dramas. This time, the huge success is also due to the fans of the two leading actors. The fans then promoted it to others, and the drama became a hit before it was even halfway through its run, with the number of viewers even exceeding 300 million.
Lin Xiaoxiao also sold the rights to the drama to TV stations and platforms that came after hearing about it, simply because she was short of money and wanted to recoup some losses.
"The Waves" even aired on a digital channel, which made Lin Yang and Zhang Chenxi's fans even more furious. This was a digital channel, which meant that their favorite actors had stepped into the world of serious dramas, which was much higher than satellite TV dramas.
Lin Yang and his agent, Brother Wang, are extremely grateful to Lin Xiaoxiao. After the show became a hit, he has received invitations from many big directors in the industry. These directors saw his potential and were willing to give him opportunities, something Lin Yang, who had previously worked in idol fantasy dramas, could never have imagined. Now he has it all.
"Brother Wang, if Director Lin ever needs any help again, I'll help him even if it costs me money. Director Lin is such a good person."
Zhang Chenxi was also incredibly excited. Her parents were finally able to gloat on social media, posting photos of themselves from their dramas and praising themselves in various group chats every day. When she first entered the entertainment industry and her parents invested money in her company, these people were so jealous and made sarcastic remarks, thinking that her parents' money was destined to go down the drain.
Even after she gained popularity and a large fan base, these people still had something to say, arguing that without any substantial work, just having fans and popularity doesn't make her an actress. Some even advised her parents to withdraw their investment and let her go back, to which Zhang Chenxi, with her fiery temper, retorted on the spot.
Although she took revenge on the spot and vented her anger on the spot, she still hoped that her parents would be proud of her and that others would see that her parents had not made a mistake in choosing her.
Now that "The Waves" is on digital TV, her parents have suddenly become more confident. They can now talk back to those who used to mock them and openly showcase Zhang Chenxi's current film and television works.
Zhang Chenxi heard that Director Lin was short of money recently, so she specially wanted to give him investment. Director Lin is so capable, he will definitely turn things around.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally refused; her Titanic, which was destined to sink, could not accommodate anyone else on board.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked anxious, having been at a loss for what to do these past few days. Helpless, she could only look at her new drama. She never expected that such a high-quality drama could be produced with such a small budget right under her nose. Should she change teams?
When she saw the finale, she cried her eyes out, using up three packs of tissues before she could finally stop.
What a load of rubbish director! Not a single one survived the ending! You damn director, give me your address, I'll send you some local specialties!
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished venting her anger, she realized that she was the director! It was all the fault of this show for delivering a fatal blow to her at the most joyful and exciting moment, causing her to lose her mind.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the comedic war film he had requested, along with his usual tragic style.
Waaah, this is so tragic.
Lin Xiaoxiao rationally sensed it, but psychologically she still couldn't accept it, so she put on a alternate account and went online to find teammates.
No need to search, the trending topics are already filled with #AllTheWavesSacrifice# #TheWavesFinale# #DirectorLin,ComeOutAndSeeIfIHitYou#
Lin Xiaoxiao shrank back and covered her vest tightly. She hadn't expected the show to turn out like this. After assigning the tasks, she focused on the escape variety show that lost 100 million yuan.
Until filming began, she hadn't finished reading the script; she read it on set every day. Ultimately, it was all Zhang Fan's fault! It was all Zhang Fan's fault for giving Lin Xiaoxiao a script reading experience that traumatized her, causing her to instinctively resist reading scripts. Next time, no matter what, she would endure the disgust and read it carefully, not missing any possibility of becoming a hit, cutting out all the interesting parts.
[Waaaaah, how did the ship just sink like that? Is the director planning a sequel? Maybe everyone survived...]
[The person upstairs is naive. It's said that this film, "The Waves," is based on the Battle of Jiangyin. Don't be naive; everyone there was killed. It was these soldiers who brought us the peace we have today.]
I searched it up and found there really was a naval battle. Most war movies I've seen focus on land battles; I've never paid attention to naval battles before.
These naval heroes who sacrificed their lives are truly admirable. Despite being poorly equipped, they risked decades of the navy's future, sacrificing their main force to defend the Yangtze River estuary, preventing so many of their army comrades from being attacked from both sides. They died without letting the enemy set foot on the Yangtze River. They were truly great! I want to go to the site of that war to pay tribute to these heroes.
【No way, Director Lin, you're doing this again? Do you think my heart is too strong? Can't you let kids watch something they can watch? I can't take it anymore. I was already crying my eyes out after watching the ending, but then someone upstairs said it was based on a real person. Good grief, the tears I just stopped started flowing again!】
Lin Xiaoxiao had initially posted a few messages criticizing the director and screenwriter, but when she saw that it was an adaptation, she suddenly felt uneasy. What was going on? If it was an adaptation, how come she, the director, didn't know?! Don't try to frame me!
Upon seeing the evidence provided by netizens, it turned out that those extras were indeed there to "cause trouble," and were actually all top-notch members of the navy. The thought of her angry outburst on set during the final scene made Lin Xiaoxiao collapse onto the sofa.
Oh no, how come he's not an extra?! She's going to report him; there's a spy in her crew! Even the director, Lin Xiaoxiao, didn't know that her crew had actually hired a real navy person as an extra. She's devastated. Sure enough, there's a mole in the team, which is why she hasn't been able to return to her wealthy family yet!
