Chapter 988 Something's Wrong (33)

"Bad Kids" is the same as "The Hidden Corner"...

Although this drama is quite difficult to pass censorship, it's not about the content, so it's relatively easy to handle!

—The original work has already defined him: a bad kid.

High intelligence plus wickedness, so everyone around him will suffer, including relatives and friends.

In order to pass censorship, the TV series made the dark outcome seem brighter.

Actually, it's not really a brightening effect; the show is based on the template of "Strangers from Hell"...

The ending seems bright, but in reality, Zhu Chaoyang has become another Zhang Dongsheng…

The difference is that "Strangers from Hell" is much bloodier and the plot is more straightforward.

It was indeed quite shocking, but I have absolutely no desire to watch it a second time!

There was no intention to interpret it.

The novel *The Long Night* is adapted from the novel *The Silent Truth*.

On Douban Books Channel, the top-rated comment on "The Long Night" is: This book will absolutely never be adapted into a film or television series!

After all, the story of "The Long Night" can be summarized in one sentence: sexual assault of young girls, abuse of power, disruption of justice, murder to cover up, framing, etc. are commonplace in this story, to the point that they are forced to unite the four partners closest to judicial justice—the forensic doctor, the police, the prosecutor, and the lawyer—to force the truth to come to light through a suicide.

"What big-name director would be willing to direct a series like this..."

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Let's find Director Shen Kaixian..."

Oh, Shen Kaixian is Shen Yan's second uncle...

After "Yu Zui" and "Day and Night," Uncle Two (the author) became incredibly popular, and then he took on the television adaptation of "The Thunder"...

Three blockbuster films in three consecutive years!
Moreover, "The Thunder" is a drama series that is broadcast jointly by Tencent Video and CCTV-1!

He's directing "The Silent Truth," I guarantee there won't be any problems...

"That scale?"

"They're getting the prosecutor's office to co-produce it... The male lead in 'The Long Night' is a prosecutor!"

To fight against the entire dark forces alone is like a moth drawn to a flame, or an ant trying to shake a tree.

Of course, amidst this tragic grandeur, one can also sense a silent undercurrent, quietly forming a combined force.

There's a passage in the book that's very straightforward: 'Who made you continue being a criminal investigator? Who made you continue staying at the procuratorate? Only your superiors.'

They remain silent, but they know what you're doing. It's a black-and-white situation now; if anything happens to you two, it will trigger a huge backlash from the silent majority.

Everyone has connections; perhaps some of them will report to the Ministry of Public Security or the Supreme People's Procuratorate, or perhaps some of them already know high-ranking leaders.

When investigators like you, who represent justice, can't even protect their own lives, the silent side will be utterly enraged, and the balance of right and wrong will be broken. They know this all too well, so they would never dare to target you personally.

The male protagonist, Jiang Yang, is like a lamp, gathering the power of silence around him!
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan added, "This is a rare and excellent script. Let's ask a few big stars about it..."

"superstar?"

"Hasn't Brother Xiaoming always been looking forward to a good script..."

Lin Na's eyes lit up: "OK, I'll find Zhang Dongsheng!"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "...Zhang Dongsheng?"

"Yes, this role is very challenging... I've been thinking about who would be suitable..."

Okay, Brother Xiaoming ruined his image by playing a bald, middle-aged math teacher—see, do I still have a chance?

Anyway, Shen Yan felt it was quite suitable!

……

"Back to the Countryside"...

It hasn't become a "Vacation I Long For" yet—our company team building trip was to a guesthouse!
In fact, the directors of "Back to Field" also worked very hard—they went to scout out each place they visited and tried their best to explore the local way of life.

But there are too many variety shows of the same type!
These kinds of experiential activities have basically been done to some extent in other programs, with various companies jumping on the bandwagon to create slow-paced variety shows, including rural and island themes, and farm stays...

If "Longing" is made again, it will be seen as following the trend!
This resulted in it becoming a cooking reality show!
The problem is that once the focus shifted to acquiring ingredients, the core of the show became reminiscing, essentially turning into a farm work experience combined with a talk show…

That depends heavily on the guests!
Then, "Back to Field" gradually became a program for promoting dramas and movies—reality shows always start bringing their movies and TV series to promote after the first season becomes a hit...

Then, many unfamiliar guests arrived...

"I'm quite familiar with Teacher He. We're both from Changsha. When we first debuted, we appeared on 'Happy Camp' a few times..." "I'm also quite familiar with Peng Peng and Zi Feng. Peng Peng is like my junior... We have the same manager. As for Zi Feng, we worked together on 'Detective Chinatown'..."

Upon arrival in Hangzhou, the production team arranged a car to pick me up…

Then came the pre-interview segment, where Shen Yan talked about her connection with the regular MCs.

"Mr. Huang Lei, you've never collaborated with me before?"

"No..." Shen Yan shook his head: "I've only heard about it..."

"Never seen the event venue before?"

"I rarely participate in any activities..."

"...Then you can order!"

Shen Yan was surprised: "Order now? Aren't you waiting for Sister Mi?"

"...If there's anything you'd like to eat, we can prepare it in advance!"

"No need, just a few home-style dishes will do!"

Shen Yan quickly refused…

Huang Lei definitely knows how to cook. His chopping and stir-frying movements clearly show that he is a skilled cook, and his overall approach to seasoning is also quite sound.

Home-style dishes are unlikely to go wrong!
He's not a chef—he's not capable of handling the kind of guest-ordered dishes that you see on shows like "Back to Field," especially since they often order dishes with strong local characteristics.

Many dishes require you to look up the recipe on Baidu first. If you don't practice beforehand for the show, the final product will basically be edible, but the taste will be average, and there's a chance it will turn out badly.

Most of the guests were just trying too hard to flatter them.

Actually, "mock crab" is a very sophisticated dish. He just made it haphazardly, but the taste should be okay. As long as you add enough sugar, ginger and vinegar scrambled eggs are not bad either!

Brother Yan doesn't want to get food poisoning...

After chatting for a while, Yang Mi arrived…

Upon meeting, Shen Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, how many days are you staying? Why are you carrying two such big suitcases?"

"...You're just carrying a shoulder bag?"

"I've brought everything I need!"

"...Let me see!"

Shen Yan casually handed over the bag...

"Toothbrush, underwear, socks... shirt, shorts... you didn't bring any cosmetics?"

"Isn't this there?"

Shen Yan took out a bottle of Origins Mushroom Water and showed it to the camera, saying, "It feels pretty good after showering!"

"You're the spokesperson?"

"The company that Shishi endorses also contacted me, but I declined because they wanted me to participate in their events!"

Origins, a cosmetics brand under Estée Lauder…

Shen Yan rarely wears makeup—at most, she'll use a little toner…

"...Fine, you're handsome, you can do anything!"

The production crew interjected, "Gentlemen, may we order now?"

Shen Yan immediately said, "You order..."

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised pork ribs... Do you have Peking duck?"

Shen Yan remained silent: "What do you think?"

The production team said, "...We can give it a try!"

Shen Yan immediately stopped her: "Let's not try it... roast duck needs an oven..."

"...Can't we build our own oven?"

Shen Yan swallowed hard, watching Yang Mi order food…

He was asked if there was anything he wanted to eat, and Shen Yan immediately replied, "Steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers or spicy crayfish!"
