I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 293, He Might Be the Most Outstanding Graduate in the History of Beijing Film Academy

I love you! I love you too!

I really, really love you!

This is the ending of "Smiling Pasta," a scene where the male and female protagonists confess their love to each other amidst the torrential rain. They live happily ever after.

End.

And in "The Young Students".

The question then becomes: Who rules the fate of this vast land?
This marks the end of the work.

Two coming-of-age films.

They all end with 'youth'.

The CEO and Cinderella lived happily ever after.

The TV series "The Young Pioneers" even included a note next to the subtitles detailing the final fate of the students who followed the protagonist.

Persecution, fate, death—these were the words that marked their destinies after their youth.

From student to soldier, and then to sacrifice.

It's completely different from the sunny tone of the final line, "Who will determine the fate of this vast land?"

But their ordinary faces were filled with sunshine and brilliance, as if they already knew about the dead end ahead.

After all, how can a revolution be without sacrifice and bloodshed? If they can recite Liang Qichao's works fluently, then they absolutely understand the kind of awareness that revolution requires.

The fate of the domineering CEO and the Cinderella.

From student to soldier to someone who is ready to sacrifice.

They all achieved their own 'happiness'.

This is the essence of youth films.

No problem.

Searching for 'happiness'.

This is a truly classic teen movie.

Ruined

When Wang Haiyang saw the students from the teacher training class reciting "Ode to the Youth of China" together, he felt an absolutely terrible sense of foreboding; that soaring spirit...
When you see the ending line, "Who will determine the fate of this vast land?"

Wang Haiyang regretted it.

Why are we targeting him?

This time, things are really going to get bad.

"Fortunately, I had already told the marketing department to stop causing trouble back during the 'Chinese Youth Talk' phase."

Although the marketing department has a lot of authority, it is still a content creation department, so its opinions are still useful in matters like this.

After witnessing that invincible spirit and energy in that iconic scene, he knew this matter was no simple affair.
Surprisingly, Li Xuan actually managed to film it.
"late."

"What's late?"

"The marketing department left on their own, without listening to your suggestions at all."

"."

at this time.

On the marketing side, the criticism of Li Xuan and "The Young Pioneers" has not lessened at all, and has even intensified.

This is typical of large companies and the speed of departmental communication.

By the time Li Xuan's reputation had reversed, the marketing department had already fulfilled the leadership's instructions and released the smear articles, and the public intellectuals...
Wang Yuping turned pale at this point; the announcement had been sent out, and there was no turning back.

At this moment, she felt a little disgusted with the procedures and processes of large companies for the first time—although most of the time, when her superiors assigned her tasks, she would first put on some nice makeup, have a coffee, and then slowly get to work.

But now, she's in a real hurry!

However, Liu Xiaoye, who was with her, was very optimistic.

"What are you afraid of? Look at the ratings of his works, they're just so-so. He's hyping it up like crazy. Don't panic, the advantage is in my hands. I don't think this work is anything special. It's not even as good as 'Smiling Pasta' next door. A youth film without sweet romance, without a CEO, without a young master, what kind of youth film is this? If the ratings are tied, it'll probably be just so-so. You don't think that a peasant like her has any high-class aesthetics, do you? Can she really be innovative?"

at this time.

Liu Xiaoye was very confident—of course, also because she had recently read some articles on Douban.

People need to be confident; with confidence, nothing is impossible.

Therefore, she was very confident that a peasant could not possibly create a good work.

Moreover, from her perspective, it was incomprehensible. After reading the work, she felt nothing at all; she couldn't understand it at all. She inexplicably started advocating for saving the country. What good would saving the country do?

At this moment, Yu Zheng, who was originally on the same side as Liu Xiaoye, also spoke up indirectly.

This work is one of the newer ones.

“I’ve discussed this with the sisters in the Douban group. I’m not the only one who thinks this work is bad; they all think it’s bad too.” Liu Xiaoye frowned and said, “We are all members of the [Literature Group]. We have the ability to appreciate literature, unlike us common folk.”

She was very unhappy about the doubts surrounding the evidence.

They also have no intention of retracting their views.

At this moment, she was very confident that her idol drama would be the top hit of this round.

Now, the average viewership ratings are out.

Smiling Pasta achieved a viewership rating of 8.9, which is considered average but still quite good.
"The Young Students"
The viewership rating was 5.1.

really.

This viewership rating is lower than that of "Smiling Pasta".

win.

A great win!

"As expected, this is a piece of garbage!"

"Wait a minute. Look at the Douban rating."

"Don't worry, the Douban rating is very low. I've asked a lot of people to give it a low score."

result.

7.6 points.

The rating for the completed series.

Moreover, it's still rising.

Liu Xiaoye's expression turned to astonishment.

"No way! Are there really that many people with such low aesthetic standards? How could anyone give him such a high score!"

Moreover, it has 11 ratings, more than twice that of "Smiling Pasta".

It is also the work with the most ratings this year.
It has more than even popular commercial dramas like "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

impossible!

Liu Xiaoye broke down.

This viewership rating.
How could so many people possibly rate it?!
And there's something really scary about it.

Yu Zheng, who was standing nearby, then delivered the finishing blow.

"This is someone else's graduation project; it's just a group of students' graduation project."

Yu Zheng murmured beside him,
For most directors, producing a film like this would be a cause for celebration.

But for students...
Oh my god
"Just like young students, full of vigor and vitality, who will dominate the vast land? Wow! This was filmed at Hunan Normal University, right?"

“I also want to make a pilgrimage to Hunan Normal University.”

"Don't even mention it, Hunan Normal University was involved in the filming. I remember that some teachers and students participated in the filming. It's no secret that there were many non-professionals in 'The Young Students.' For example, Professor Yang seems to be a professor of Marxist philosophy."

"I was wondering why I sometimes felt a little out of immersion. But overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits. The main cast all have good acting skills and are quite pleasing to the eye."

"Smiling Pasta" is like a gust of wind; it's gone and gone.

No such person can be found in "Days Related to Youth".

And after the series ended.

"The Young Students" was just beginning to gain traction.

It was only then that people vaguely noticed.

There was such a big piece of gold here.

This time, the idol drama side is completely numb.

It wasn't that Douban gave it a low score.

Instead, some who were originally promised high scores only gave a slightly above-average score.

"I originally thought that domineering CEOs and elegant young masters were the limits of my understanding of handsome men, but after watching 'The Young Students,' I felt like I was betraying my beliefs. I suddenly realized that the handsome men I used to watch might not be so handsome after all. I'm sorry, I didn't betray you. I still want to give my idol, my Wang Xinling, a high score, but I can't go back to my old mindset (sad)."

"I see a lot of people criticizing 'The Young Pioneers,' and I think many of them are artists from Huayi Brothers and people from the Beijing entertainment circle who are saying nice things about them."

"Let alone the Beijing capital circle, even CCTV has people criticizing this show."

Of course, both of the above comments were banned and deleted by Hayek.
At this moment, life is peaceful and serene.

The storm has passed!
At this moment.

Cai Yulong, who was monitoring online public opinion, felt a little dazed.

The phrase "just like young students" was indeed created.

And it landed smoothly.

No, it's not just about a smooth landing; after breaking with convention, the results achieved go far beyond a smooth performance.

This result.

excellent.

This is an excellent result.

An undeniably good result.

Although there are still many flaws, such as the extras used, who are even students, whose professionalism is questionable, what does it matter?

From the core of the story to its completion.

His performance as the lead actor.

The level of completion is extremely high.

The real group of students.

The resulting work was completed.

"This must be the strongest graduation performance in history," Hu Qu said, somewhat dazed.

While everyone else was making stage plays, he made a real work of art.

Fortunately, we weren't in the same academic year.

Otherwise, we'll really be living in his shadow.

He couldn't even imagine what his juniors, the 2002 cohort, and the students at the Central Academy of Drama, must be feeling.

He watched the entire series "When We Were Young".

Cai Yulong also asked him what he felt after watching it.
On the surface...

Very strong, talent that is beyond compare.

But what about in private?

That's what I really think.

Currently, there is a strong urge to terminate the contract with Tangren and run to Li Xuan's side.

But it was ultimately just an impulse.

He knew it was impossible.

I cannot afford to pay the price for doing so.

But that doesn't stop the lingering longing in one's heart.

This Li Xuan.

Aren't you very busy?

"No rush, no rush, Principal Wang, that's just something for young students to do."

"Let's go, you're not the only one wanting to buy the rebroadcast rights."

"Do you smoke?"

"I don't smoke, thank you."

Looking at the station director who had traveled a long way to buy the rebroadcast rights, carrying large bags and small packages with a slightly ingratiating expression on his face, it was hard for Wang Fengsheng to imagine that this was the same station director who had been so busy on the phone.

That's why I didn't have time to come in person.

However, Wang Fengsheng wasn't trying to make things difficult for him; indeed, quite a few guards had already rushed over to buy the rebroadcast rights. The doorstep was practically overflowing with people.

Only then did Wang Fengsheng become somewhat dazed.

"I used up all my luck in this life by meeting Li Xuan before I retired."

"Me too."

At this moment, Wang Jinsong also spoke.

As the mentor for this "Young Students' Day" program, his name is also widely known.

The teacher was originally unknown.

Now it has become a hot commodity.

Even film and television companies tried to poach him.

However, Wang Jinsong rejected them all.

I don't have that ability. This work was 99% completed by students. If I had to say what role I played, it would probably only be some minor details.

Li Xuan is very likely to be one of them.

As the strongest graduate in the history of the Beijing Film Academy.

The two wondered what this graduate, who had just received the honor, was doing at that moment.

"Hello Auntie."

"Sit wherever you like, there aren't many rules here." At this point, Liu Lili paused and said, "Just like my daughter does at your house, make yourself at home."

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to her, immediately blushed.

Not really.

That's how you saw through it?
We used to say we were going to Jiang Yan's house as a guest.

I knew right away that I was going to see Brother Li!
At this moment, Li Xuan sat down casually, lying on his side on the sofa.

"Ok."

I've been feeling really tired lately.

Ultimately, this is my first self-written, self-directed, and self-acted work.

Pay attention to public opinion, and pay attention to the works themselves.

And those guys who want to join our ranks.

Very busy.

At this moment, Liu Lili's expression was also complicated as she looked at Li Xuan.

He actually succeeded.

"Just Like Young Students" not only landed smoothly, but was also quite outstanding, and even subtly influenced its peers in the idol drama field.

"I think it would be faster for you to start your own agency? They already thought you were here to steal their business, and now you're being so high-profile."

"Speaking of which, Aunt Liu, let's be frank. Even if I don't run a talent agency now, will those people in the industry stop targeting me? No, they'll only intensify their attacks, because we were never on the same side from the beginning."

At this point, Li Xuan was very frank.
He spoke very frankly.

A kind of honesty that left Liu Lili speechless.

That's what they say.

Even if Li Xuan doesn't work as an agent or run a brokerage company.

People in the industry might not let him off the hook.

Actually, there is another possibility.

But this possibility made Liu Lili very hesitant.

There is a way to turn Li Xuan into one of our own.

this way.

It's a powerful alliance.

You have the power, but I have the bloodline.

One who is not ostracized by people within the same circle.

A bloodline that can be accepted by people in the circle.

Liu Yifei, her own daughter.

Up to now.

Liu Lili had no aversion to Li Xuan; everything he showed made him worthy of investment.

Using marriage as a stepping stone.

In the future, we might even have a small chance to make our way onto the international stage.

This is something that most film and television conglomerates in China can only dream of.

Besides, her own daughter doesn't mind.

Liu Lili could definitely tell.

Her own daughter showed no sign of dislike.

"Actually, you have a choice."

Just as Liu Lili was about to say something.

Li Xuan shook his head first.

"No, I had no choice."

“Aunt Liu, I didn’t choose not to sign with the company entirely because of the exploitation by capital.”

Okay, they say such noble things.

Actually, this reason accounts for the majority.

Of course, when speaking to elders.

It's better to be more respectable.

"that is because?"

"free."

Liu Lili did not expect this answer.

Freedom to create, freedom to be healthy, and freedom for my uncle to be healthy.

Radiant with light, the freedom of standing at the pinnacle.

The freedom to overcome the mundane and bleak past.

The system rewards those attribute points with freedom.

There are many, many reasons.

However, there is a very important reason.

That is, there is no reason whatsoever.

You don't need any reason to become the coolest.

I just want a dick.

I just want to be the coolest one.

To be the one standing on the podium seen by the whole world, with the most elegant smile, say that...

Look at me, am I awesome?
Liu Lili looked at Li Xuan's eyes.

As if he understood something.

He will not agree to this way of limiting his potential.
Even if this is a limit he may never reach in his lifetime, because it is just a dream.

But that's how it looks when you're dreaming.

What an incredible boy.

Damn the charm.

After finishing their meal, Li Xuan and Liu Yifei went to a nearby park to digest their food and bought a bag of cotton candy.

"I had a feeling you were playing cryptic games with my mom just now, but I have no proof."

"You actually detected something?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Yifei in shock. "Does your scalp itch?"

At this moment, Liu Yifei's slightly chubby face was close to Li Xuan's.

Why does my scalp itch?

"Because it gets itchy when you have a brain."

"You're so annoying!"

"whee."

Under the full moonlight.

Liu Yifei looked at Li Xuan with slight hesitation: "We're graduating soon."

In the end, they still brought up that heavy topic.

I'm about to graduate.

Graduation signifies bidding farewell to the past, to the four years spent as a student.

That was a wonderful time.

Really.

Li Xuan remained silent at this moment.

Just like the ending of "When We Were Young," when everyone is asking who will rule the vast land, no matter how passionate and fiery they are, it is time to part ways.

Separation is a kind of helplessness.

It's a kind of sadness.

From then on, they went their separate ways.

Liu Yifei felt the same way at that time. After graduation, she would go to Sony and take the international route directly, which would be like a meteoric rise.

Her next project will even be a collaboration with two kung fu emperors, Jet Li and Jackie Chan, with two Hollywood Chinese stars serving her alone.

That's a pretty high standard.

But she just couldn't bear to leave this moment.

I can't bear to part with it.
What exactly are you reluctant to part with?

"I'll be back at school in a few days to take graduation photos. I'll definitely be the most handsome one."

At this moment, Li Xuan was also smiling.

It didn't stop them from trying to keep her in Hollywood.
After all, this is indeed a great opportunity for her to connect with international standards and directly access the global market.

For filmmakers in China, this is undoubtedly a leap forward.

Of course, this doesn't mean the two will never meet again.

After all, he was going to give the middle finger to everyone in the world.

The park where the two were strolling suddenly lost power.

There were already few people around, and the power outage made it even darker.

At this moment, Liu Yifei subconsciously moved closer to Li Xuan.

Fragrant and soft.

"do not be afraid."

"I'm not afraid at all."

"You're just being stubborn."

Just as Li Xuan was about to make a joke, he felt something seal his lips.
Soft, fragrant, and sweet.
The park had power back on in less than two minutes after the power outage.
"What was that just now?"

"Tch, I have no idea what you're talking about."

At this moment, Liu Yifei skipped and hopped ahead.

Li Xuan's face was obscured because he was behind her.

Fragrant and soft.

That must be it.

It must be a marshmallow.

It must be.
