Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 315: The sweeter the beginning, the more heartbreaking the ending.
The emergence of Jian Zheng (a pseudonym) boosted the popularity of "The Beginning" to a peak.

On Weibo, forums, Tieba, and in the comment sections below, netizens are discussing it.

Of course, many TV dramas have done things like political commentary.

For example, Teng Huatao, mentioned earlier, often does this kind of thing.

His works, such as "Dwelling Narrowness" and "Naked Marriage," both contain political commentary.

However, Teng Huatao focuses more on the romantic relationships between men and women, which makes him rather petty.

Even when they engage in online political commentary, the topics are mostly about officials' extramarital affairs and such.

Qi Hui recalls a scene where Zhang Jiayi turned the emblem green.

Seeing the rapidly rising popularity, iQiyi couldn't stop smiling, repeatedly exclaiming that the 200 million yuan investment was well worth it.

They gained not only the popularity of "The Beginning", but also a large number of newly registered users.

In particular, these new users came specifically for "The Beginning," so they were immediately subjected to a combination of registration and membership activation.

iQiyi's monthly active users and memberships are now rising rapidly.

While its competitors are still burning through cash, iQiyi has already achieved profitability.

Their early strategic deployment on mobile devices gave them a head start over their competitors.

This greatly boosted Gong Yu's confidence, giving him more leverage to ask Baidu for money in the future!

The film "The Beginning" continues to air. In the next episode, the male and female protagonists wake up to find themselves back on the bus.

They understood that if they didn't continue, they couldn't escape the cycle.

Moreover, the male lead, Xiao Heyun, also began to show abnormalities, his face turned pale, and his hands and feet trembled. Compared to the female lead, Li Shiqing, he was even more difficult to wake up.

After questioning, it was learned that Xiao Heyun's body began to show symptoms after the cycle was activated.

The aftereffects are most severe when the target has just been identified and is being blown up at close range by the "pot lady".

After reaching this conclusion, Li Shiqing's face showed a hint of anxiety. She knew that she had to break the cycle as soon as possible, otherwise Xiao Heyun would be in danger.

After discussion, the two decided to launch a sneak attack, not giving Aunt Guo a chance to draw her knife, and then subdue her, steal the pressure cooker, and hand it over to the police.

The plan is finalized, let's begin execution!
Qi Hui plays Xiao Heyun, who is responsible for subduing Aunt Guo, while Jing Tian plays Li Shiqing, who is responsible for moving the pressure cooker away.

And then...and then something bad happened.

During the execution of the plan, Aunt Guo still made her move.

However, due to a mishap, the male protagonist Xiao Heyun accidentally killed Aunt Guo with a single stab.

Now, neither Xiao Heyun nor Li Shiqing cared about the pressure cooker anymore. They could only hurriedly get out of the car and evade the police pursuit.

"Sigh, it's not easy being a good person!"

"This is troublesome; I can't explain myself now."

"Where's Captain Long? Long Baichuan, hurry and save Jiang Xiaoyu!"

"Save your breath. Long Baichuan is just a driver now, and Jiang Xiaoyu is just a complaining office worker."

"Ugh, it's so painful to watch!"

"Can't these police officers be a little more rational?"

"Upstairs, you only say that because you have a God's-eye view. If you were in there, you probably wouldn't be as good as Uncle Qin, the doorman."

"I'm not as good as Uncle Qin? Damn it, I'm even better than Principal Gao Yi!"

"If you don't even have Bai Jie, what kind of principal are you talking about?"

"We're talking about the plot, why are we making inappropriate jokes?"

But just as netizens were chattering and worrying about the male and female leads...

Boom!

Another explosion occurred, and the raging flames and shockwaves instantly engulfed everyone in the vehicle.

"what's going on?"

"Holy crap, wasn't the killer dead? Why is it exploding?"

Was there a second perpetrator in the car?

"who is it?"

"Damn, I thought we didn't have to blow it up!"

"Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun are in trouble now. They've been involved in both a murder and a bombing. They're in deep trouble no matter what they do."

"Who is the second murderer? The livestreamer? The burly man? Or the herbalist?"

“I think it’s a strong man. He’s the most mysterious. I don’t know his name, his past, or why he’s in this car.”

"I think it's that streamer. Don't be fooled by his constant chatter and the fact that he seems to get along with everyone. That kind of smiling tiger is the most dangerous!"

"Doesn't anyone think she's a medicine woman?" "You're overthinking it. She's a medicine woman, not a witch."

"What about the driver? The driver could be one too!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Captain Long looks like a really good person!"

"I believe you if you say Jiang Xiaoyu is a bad person, but I absolutely do not believe you if you say Captain Long is a bad person!"

The audience discussed the event, typing furiously on their keyboards, while continuing to watch the play and follow the progress of the gathering.

This episode was very distressing to watch; the two main characters' experiences were indeed somewhat unfair.

Of course, it wasn't uncomfortable from beginning to end.

To evade the police, the female lead, Li Shiqing, changed into an ancient costume of a female knight-errant from Lu Xiaoyu's secret base.

Wearing a bamboo hat, a veil, and carrying a long sword, the dashing and heroic female warrior Jing Tian is breathtakingly beautiful, bringing joy and delight to the viewer.

Then, Jing Tian took the change and went to buy medicine.

It slightly diminishes the chivalrous image of the female knight-errant, but the male lead, Xiao Heyun, has an injured arm that requires anti-inflammatory treatment.

Li Shiqing also wanted to buy some melatonin so that the two of them could fall asleep quickly.

But the police still caught up with them. Nowadays, there are so many criminal investigation methods that tracking down a person couldn't be easier.

To evade the police, the male and female protagonists ran to a beach where there were no surveillance cameras.

night.

A cool breeze blows, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoes.

Supporting each other, the two who had come this far sat on a sailboat, chatting about trivial matters, as well as their upcoming actions and plans.

Xiao Heyun decided to turn himself in. He was a corporate slave and was under immense pressure after accidentally killing someone.

This kind of pressure and feeling cannot be eliminated by simply repeating the cycle.

After hearing this, Li Shiqing slowly walked towards the sea, intending to calm herself down with the seawater.

She wanted to go with Xiao Heyun, but the melatonin she had taken earlier had kicked in, and she was very sleepy.

Xiao Heyun quickly followed her into the sea. The two, swaying slightly, looked at each other and finally embraced.

In the final scene, Jing Tian, ​​like a kitten, is swept up in Qi Hui's arms and carried back to that secret base.

Jing Tian was peaceful and serene in her sleep.

Unlike her unwavering companionship and support during the day, she now displays a vulnerable, girlish side that evokes pity.

As he passed a utility pole, Xiao Heyun slowly looked up at the security camera, then slowly took out his phone and dialed Captain Zhang's number to turn himself in.

It's not a confession of love, nor is it a life-or-death bond; it's just a friendship of mutual support. But that's not a big deal, and it doesn't affect the audience's shipping of the couple.

"Waaaaah...it's so sweet!"

"Ah, Jing Tian looks so cute with her sleepy eyes!"

"Damn it, Qi Hui really hit the jackpot, hugging Jing Tian like that!"

“Together, together!”

"If they don't end up together or get married, that would be just too much!"

"Damn it, why can't this show be longer? I want to see Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing fall in love!"

"Exactly! Hurry up and add a love story. I'd watch it even if it turned into a soap opera, otherwise my membership would be a waste!"

Not only in the comment section of iQiyi, but also after watching the video, netizens flocked to Qi Hui and Jing Tian's Weibo accounts to urge for more episodes.

They requested that "The Beginning" be extended, even if it were made into 30 to 50 episodes, they would be willing to watch it.

I love the sweet romance between Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing.

Seeing the message with 99+ views, Qi Hui and Jing Tian exchanged a glance, then chuckled mischievously.

The sweeter it is at the beginning, the more heartbreaking it becomes later.

Enjoy yourselves, dear viewers.

"Qi Hui, do you think we're being really bad?" Jing Tian giggled, snuggling into Qi Hui's arms, laughing happily.

"Not bad at all." Qi Hui patted the script in his hand: "Besides, isn't there also 'Battle of Changsha'?"

"The storyline that the audience wanted to see—the male and female leads ending up together—has come true."

Jing Tian rolled her eyes and slapped Qi Hui in an annoyed tone.

The male and female leads in "Battle of Changsha" did indeed end up together.

But the heartbreak in this TV series is even greater than the ending of "The Beginning".
