This director lacks vision.

Chapter 206 The Script of Lost in Thailand
After airing for two consecutive days, "The Hunt" generated an explosive amount of buzz.

The internet is full of discussions on related topics.

The ratings for CCTV also improved, with the ratings exceeding 3% on the second day. The plot of the short essay also raised the blood pressure of many elderly people, making them unable to stop watching.

Major media outlets sensed the buzz and began vying to report on the controversies surrounding the drama "The Hunt".

This incident involving Lü Liping was orchestrated by Sina Weibo to steal the spotlight from the "Hunting" topic and attract more people to Sina Weibo.

The plan itself was sound; it was just a pity that the opponent was too strong.

On May 3rd, "The Hunt" was suspended for one day because Yangshi was going to broadcast a documentary related to the 5th anniversary of the establishment of the archives.

However, Wang Sicong's incident just happened to break out, attracting a large number of onlookers. The popularity of "The Hunt" not only did not decrease but increased, leaving Sina Weibo quite helpless.

On the morning of May 4th, Jiang Yifeng was working at the company when Wang Sicong walked in.

He was expressionless, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. He looked haggard and clearly hadn't slept well.

I felt really down.

"Damn it, you knew about Wang Ying's situation, why didn't you tell me sooner? I even considered you a friend!"

Faced with Wang Sicong's questioning, Jiang Yifeng calmly replied, "Did your parents remind you? Did Lu Zheng try to persuade you?"
"You don't believe them even when they tell you, so who do you think I am? Do you think you'd believe me just because I say it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong choked up.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't we just settle this privately? You can provide me with the evidence. Why make such a big deal out of it?"
It was even made into a TV series, which made me a laughingstock online!

Jiang Yifeng said sarcastically, "I thought you were so affectionate, but in the end you just feel like you've lost face, not that you're sad about losing your love."

Wang Sicong was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Seeing Jiang Yifeng's arrogant attitude, Wang Sicong was so angry he wanted to hit him.

However, after comparing the physiques and strengths of both sides, it was wise to back down.

But Jiang Yifeng continued, "This was arranged by your parents. They just wanted you to suffer a great loss and remember this lesson."

They'd rather you be a womanizer and unreliable, playing around with women, than have you being played by women.

If you have any complaints, you should talk to your parents, don't cause trouble for me.

"And by making your story into a TV series, I'm also helping you."

Wang Sicong asked incredulously, "What do you mean? Are you using my privacy to film a movie, or are you helping me?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and argued, "Even if I don't film the TV series, given your and Wang Ying's boastful personalities, plus your parents' arrangements, this matter will eventually explode online, and you will become a laughing stock sooner or later."

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Wang Sicong had no way to refute them.

In fact, that's how it was in her past life. Wang Ying not only frequently showed off her love on Weibo, but also posted on Weibo that she was as beautiful as Angelababy, which was ridiculed by netizens.

It was this mockery that led to Wang Sicong's intervention, ultimately turning into an online joke.

However, Jiang Yifeng misrepresented the concept.

Without the show "Hunting," only a small group of people knew about Wang Sicong's story.

Now that the TV series is airing, Wang Sicong's embarrassing moments have been amplified, to the point that they are known almost everywhere on the internet.

If we were to list the top ten internet events of 2011, Wang Sicong's story would definitely be on the list, and it will still be talked about many years later.

Seeing that Wang Sicong was on the right track, Jiang Yifeng took a sip of tea and continued to deceive him, saying, "Now that I've filmed a TV series, I've given you a reason."

You can insist to the public that you knew about Wang Ying's situation all along.

They just deliberately kept it a secret, waiting for the show to air so they could act out a scene with netizens to help promote the drama.

Everything you do is just to promote the TV series.

This is a professional performance.

A real man is never preoccupied with petty romances; he focuses on his career!

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong's eyes lit up, as if he had found a lifeline, but he was still uneasy, so he asked, "Will saying this really work?"

Jiang Yifeng suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "How would I know if it will work? Anyway, you've found an excuse and can save some face."

Besides, it's not a big deal.

Aren't there plenty of people laughing at and cursing me online? Yet I still live a very comfortable life.

You were ridiculed by everyone this time, but at least your fame has gone up, and your Weibo followers have exceeded 300 million.

Everyone knows you're the son of Wanda's chairman, a top-tier rich second-generation. Picking up girls will be a piece of cake for you."

Jiang Yifeng was more than happy for Wang Sicong to continue his sophistry, keeping the matter a hot topic and providing free publicity for the hunting party.

His reasoning for Wang Sicong is completely untenable, and few people will believe it.

But Wang Sicong was like a drowning person at this moment, grabbing at any straw he saw.

Moreover, Jiang Yifeng was very eloquent, and after this round of comforting words and persuasion, Wang Sicong actually believed him.

“You’re right. That idiot Wang Xiaofei embarrasses himself everywhere, but he doesn’t seem to mind.” Wang Sicong quickly gave a negative example to comfort himself, and then said, “In what way am I not better than him!”

"What am I afraid of? Once I've uploaded a few more girls' pictures online, everyone will know how awesome Wang Sicong is!"

Jiang Yifeng gave Wang Sicong a thumbs up and praised, "That's right, that's the right mindset."

See? In the end, I'm the one who treats you the best. I've already arranged a way out for you.

If you follow your parents' arrangements, you'll have no way out and can only lie down and accept the ridicule.

Wang Sicong was a little dazed, but having gotten to this point, he still subconsciously said, "Uncle Jiang, thank you for taking care of me!"

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

Seeing Wang Sicong still thanking him, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but laugh. He had to put his hand on his chin as if he was thinking to cover the corners of his mouth.

After coughing twice, Jiang Yifeng continued, "Since you've already called me uncle, I can't just not take care of you."

My next movie, Lost in Thailand, will start filming in June.

Would you like to play a role?

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong's heart tightened, and he instinctively tried to avoid the trap, quickly saying, "Forget it, I'm not acting anymore."

"Really? That's a shame!"
I originally wanted you to play a playboy with women on both sides, with several beautiful actresses by your side, allowing you to take advantage of them.

Since you don't want to act, then forget it.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong immediately changed his tune, smiling broadly as he said, "Uncle Jiang! You're my uncle!"

This role is great, I want to play it!
Which female celebrities would you like to invite?

Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, "It hasn't been decided yet, but don't worry, they will all be young and beautiful."

Wang Sicong nodded frantically.

"Uncle Jiang, your taste is evident to all, I trust you completely!"

"Okay then, we'll head to Thailand in June, have fun there while filming. You can set the time."

Sunshine, beaches, beautiful women, nightclubs, beer, cruise ships—your uncle will make sure you have a blast! Just wait and enjoy!

Wang Sicong was completely fooled.

He's completely given up on love now and just wants to have a blast, eating, drinking, and having fun.

Little did he know that Jiang Yifeng had already dug a pit, waiting for Wang Sicong to jump in.

Thailand may not have much else, but it has plenty of ladyboys, many of whom are famous local celebrities.

All that's left is for Wang Sicong to go and put on his true colors, surrounded by women on both sides.

Watching Wang Sicong leave happily, Jiang Yifeng felt that Lao Wang and Lu Zheng should pay more money. The lesson and growth he gave Wang Sicong were really very effective.

After Wang Sicong left, Chen Sicheng walked in.

He held a script in his hand and said to Jiang Yifeng, "President Jiang, these are the revisions I made to the script for Lost in Thailand."

After finishing filming "The Love Story of Yanjing" at the end of April, Chen Sicheng couldn't wait to come to Fengxing Media.

He thought he would need some time to settle down, since he had just joined the company.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yifeng directly appointed him as the assistant director of "Lost in Thailand" and asked him to review the script and offer some suggestions for revision.

Chen Sicheng felt that he was being given an important position.

After all, this is Lost in Thailand, a sequel to Lost on Journey, a core project of the company, and a big project that the entire entertainment industry is paying attention to.

Being an assistant director on such a project is not only a great resume but also a learning opportunity.

So Chen Sicheng was full of energy and stayed up for two consecutive nights to make some revisions to the script.

Jiang Yifeng took the script and asked Chen Sicheng to sit down.

"Make yourself some tea. I want to take a look at the script you revised first."

Jiang Yifeng's Lost in Thailand is a complete sequel to Lost on Journey, but the story content is different from Xu Zheng's Lost in Thailand in his previous life.

The entire script was conceived by Jiang Yifeng himself. It tells the story of Li Chenggong, who, three years after the "Lost in Thailand" incident, developed an aphrodisiac called Boningqiang based on a formula provided by Niu Geng.

He found this medicine to be very effective after using it himself.

However, even the best wine needs advertising, and Boningqiang's sales were not ideal after its launch.

In order to make a lot of money, Li Chenggong wanted to package Bo Ningqiang.

He happened to see a news report that Thailand was going to hold a ladyboy beauty pageant.

Li Chenggong had a plan: if transgender people could regain their virility after taking Boningqiang, wouldn't that prove that this drug was invincible?
So he decided to go to Thailand to visit the beauty pageant and ask the winner, a ladyboy, to be his spokesperson.

In order to "trace the origins" of Bo Ningqiang's prescription and give it the title of a century-old formula, Li Chenggong even spent a sum of money to hire Niu Geng, the provider of the prescription.

The two embarked on a trip to Thailand together.

Meanwhile, Li Chenggong's rival, Huang Bo, was also secretly following behind them, trying to sabotage Li Chenggong's plans.

The three embark on a unique and hilarious journey revolving around Bo Ningqiang and a Thai ladyboy beauty pageant.

After setting the story framework, Jiang Yifeng had the company's screenwriting team start writing the script.

The entire script was written in March. Jiang Yifeng only gave it to Chen Sicheng for revision because he wanted to see if this director with a keen business sense had any good ideas.

As it turns out, Chen Sicheng is still a bit inexperienced, and the revised script didn't offer any highlights.

However, Jiang Yifeng did not discourage him, but changed the subject and said, "The audition for Lost in Thailand will be held next week. You should communicate more with Hu Qian and arrange the audition work well."

After the audition, you'll take a group of people to Thailand ahead of time to arrange the filming.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Chen Sicheng immediately assured him, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely do my best in preparing for the audition and the work in Thailand."

Judging from the title of your script, the role of Huang Bo, is it confirmed that Huang Bai has been cast?

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "It's not decided yet, everyone has a chance."

The character is named Huang Bo for comedic effect; he's both "yellow" and "Bo," and is born to sell aphrodisiacs.

Of course, Huang Bai has an advantage; after all, he has a good name.

Comedy movies are naturally full of references and jokes, and Jiang Yifeng even used Huang Bai's name to make fun of him.
