This director lacks vision.

Chapter 209 Registered

Compared to Cai Yinong, Song Zu had many more enemies.

Guo Degang, Liu Xiaoqing, Li Yapeng, Fan Bingbing, Huang Shengyi, and others all forwarded Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post.

They all had grudges against Emperor Taizu of Song.

For a time, it seemed as if most of the entertainment industry was supporting Jiang Yifeng.

But Song Zu was different from Cai Yinong. Despite being criticized by so many people, he was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was very happy and even excited.

What Song Zu wanted was popularity; he was willing to be criticized as long as he had traffic.

So he deliberately tagged Guo Degang and others to continue stirring up a war of words, hoping to capitalize on this wave of negative attention.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei, who had just been very happy, frowned.

"This guy has such a thick skin! The more you scold him, the happier he gets."

Jiang Yifeng stretched out his index finger and touched Liu Yifei's smooth forehead, smoothing out the wrinkles, before jokingly saying, "Perhaps he, like you, also has a special masochistic fetish."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei lightly slapped Jiang Yifeng and retorted, "Don't think I'm stupid, I understand now!"

"Understand what?"

"I'm just under a lot of psychological pressure and I want to find a way to relieve it. It doesn't have to be like this."

You've gradually cultivated this habit in me!

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Jiang Yifeng burst into laughter.

He picked up the fairy in one go; she was plump and very comfortable.

"Then let me ask you, are you happy?"

Liu Yifei glared at Jiang Yifeng, seemingly a little angry, but her eyes were watery.

She touched the black choker around her neck and said honestly, "I'm happy."

Then she whispered, "Thank you."

Jiang Yifeng looked at Liu Yifei nestled in his arms like a kitten and said with a smile, "I don't want to just offer verbal thanks."

Liu Yifei stuck out her nimble little tongue, licked her lips, and slowly said, "You really don't want me to thank you verbally?"

Verbal thanks can also be profound and sincere.

The fairy's gratitude was indeed full of sincerity.

Jiang Yifeng stroked her round head and couldn't help but marvel at how perfect it was, how wonderful it felt to the touch.

After a sweet night, Liu Yifei packed her bags the next morning, ready to go abroad with the rest of the film crew.

The TV series "The Hunt" has been released in several countries and regions overseas, and the main creative team will also go there to promote it.

Jiang Yifeng was the only one who was lazy and basically didn't participate in this kind of promotional work that involved traveling around.

He usually just shoots a video to promote himself remotely, which is his way of showing his face.

On the evening of May 8th, episodes 10 and 11 of The Hunt were released.

The plots of these two episodes unfold along two parallel storylines.

After seeing that the authorities had caught the fraudsters, Anxi and others felt something was off, as it didn't match some of the previous clues. So they reported the situation to the authorities, and the task force continued its in-depth investigation.

Ultimately, it was discovered that behind this fraudster was a fraud gang from Taiwan, codenamed Organization K.

While investigating the fraud ring, Anxi was also keeping an eye on Aunt Cai's situation.

After becoming her daughter Liu Shuangshi's agent, Aunt Cai became the mistress of a well-known director named Chuan Taijun in order to secure her position.

Chuan Taijun has no talent whatsoever; he became famous through plagiarism. He was even sued, but Wangzhongwang Media stepped in and helped him settle the matter.

Because Kawata-kun's father is one of the editors-in-chief of the national television station.

Kawata-kun takes a liking to a female TV presenter and begins to pursue her, but the female presenter already has someone she likes—a famous male presenter from the same TV station.

In order to win the heart of the beauty, with the help of Aunt Cai, Chuan Taijun devised a scheme to frame her.

The male host was falsely accused of being physically imposing, causing a public uproar.

In the end, all of the male host's hosting work was suspended, his career plummeted from its peak, and Kawata-kun got what he wanted.

After these two episodes, Lu Chuan broke down his defenses.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called Mr. Chuan has a similar experience to Lu Chuan.

They all started by plagiarizing others, and they all have fathers with connections in Beijing's elite circles.

Netizens teased Lu Chuan, making him furious.

Lu Chuan, who was filming "The Last Supper," posted several Weibo posts in a row, angrily cursing Jiang Yifeng.

The last Weibo post is the most classic and has been widely circulated on the internet.

"I don't understand how anyone can be so shameless as to spread rumors in movies and TV shows! No matter how down on my luck I am, Lu Chuan, I would never be interested in Aunt Cai!"

Putting me alongside Aunt Cai is an insult!

This remark amused netizens.

Tsai Yi-nong was so angry that she had to get an IV drip, but she did not respond publicly.

Because Tsai Yinong knew that the more she responded to this matter, the more attention it would generate, and the more people would laugh at her.

She was already planning to fabricate some rumors and slander against Jiang Yifeng as a direct form of revenge.

In contrast, Song Zu was much more proactive, jumping around behind Lu Chuan and attacking the drama "Hunting" together.

But he didn't stay active for long.

Because the authorities acted without warning, banning all of his social media accounts. For Emperor Song Zu, this was worse than death.

Seeing Song Zu's fate, Cai Yinong, who had originally wanted revenge, immediately chickened out.

I'll just go into "lie down and let them mock me" mode and pretend this never happened.

Even Lu Chuan remained silent, focusing on filming "The King's Feast".

Seeing this, netizens were very curious as to why this was happening.

Some say Jiang Yifeng has a powerful backer, others say Song Zu himself was too arrogant, and still others say Jing Tian intervened; there are many different opinions.

The hunting segment was suspended for two days on May 9th and 10th.

By May 11th, the show had only aired episodes 12 and 13, and the plot was beginning to enter its most challenging phase.

As the investigation deepened, the task force discovered that Organization K was a fraud gang primarily engaged in online gambling.

This organization has a very strict division of labor. It has not only developed many downlines in reality, but also organized a group of online trolls.

The K organization is headquartered in Thailand. In order to forcibly recruit new members and to launder their money, they began to venture into the entertainment industry. They collaborated with Wangzhongwang Media to invest in a movie called "Lost in Thailand," which was intended to promote the good things about Thailand, attract more tourists, and then set traps for them.

Anxi begins to contact Shi Bo, the male host who was wrongly accused, hoping to find a breakthrough through him and use the popularity of this false accusation to complete the final plan for revenge.

In these two episodes, Mr. Wang, the boss of Wangzhongwang Media, also appears. He likes both men and women and even went to Thailand to find ladyboys.

Savvy viewers will know who Jiang Yifeng is subtly implying.

This time, however, no one made any more noise, and those who were being subtly criticized remained silent.

On one hand, Jiang Yifeng is a ruthless person; he even criticizes himself.

The film "The Hunt" explicitly states that "Lost in Thailand" is a movie that whitewashes and glorifies Thailand.

Many viewers know that Jiang Yifeng's next movie is Lost in Thailand.

When Jiang Yifeng makes veiled criticisms of others in films and television dramas, some moralists might say he's not honorable enough and that his actions are those of a petty person.

But Jiang Yifeng even criticizes his own movies, leaving even the morally upright speechless.

Since it's for entertainment, everyone should be able to afford to play along.

Jiang Yifeng made his stance clear, and the standards were consistent.

Anyway, Jiang Yifeng isn't afraid. He won't glorify Thailand by making "Lost in Thailand." He's upright and has nothing to fear. It's also good to promote the movie along the way.

On the other hand, now that "The Hunt" has been airing for a while, everyone finally understands why this drama is a collaboration with Gong Anbu.

The main plot of Jiang Yifeng's script is still about dismantling criminal gangs involved in online gambling and fraud.

In fact, many people have not paid attention to the fact that one of the most troublesome problems for the public security organs in recent years is online gambling.

From February to August 2010, a special campaign was launched to crack down on online gambling, resulting in the detection of 1364 criminal cases related to online gambling and the criminal detention and arrest of more than 7360 people.

The police want to publicize the results of this special operation on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to raise awareness of the dangers of online gambling and fraud, so that everyone can be more vigilant.

That's why we partnered with "The Hunt".

As for the gossip and celebrities in the entertainment industry, those are minor matters.

Jiang Yifeng's statement, "The more gossip there is, the more people will see it, and the better the publicity effect will be," was immediately approved by the higher-ups.

According to Gong Anbu, the broadcast and promotion of "The Hunt" far exceeded expectations, which is something worth making a big deal out of.

That Song Zu, he himself has a lot of problems, yet he's still jumping around attacking this drama, so naturally we have to take it down.

For viewers, watching "The Hunt" is also very enjoyable. The show is not only fast-paced and full of classic cases, but it also provides a constant stream of juicy gossip.

From Wang Sicong's widowhood to the shocking revelations about the food delivery team, the story of Lu Chuan Taijun, and Huayi Xiao Wang's extremely wide range of "interests" and hobbies.

These are all fascinating pieces of gossip.

Therefore, by the time the Hunting series reached episode 13, the total number of views on Sohu Video had already exceeded 8 million, and it would be easy to surpass 10 billion in the future.

The show's ratings on CCTV have also surpassed 4%, with the latest episode reaching 4.13%.

The police have already made all the preparations. After the premiere of "Hunting" in China, they will hold a celebration and commendation ceremony.

Jiang Yifeng has collaborated with the railway bureau and the public security bureau, making him a director officially recognized by the authorities.

Don't underestimate this kind of relationship; it can be very useful in crucial moments.

Moreover, Jiang Yifeng is a really good director; at least he's better at directing than shows like "In the Name of the People."

An anti-corruption drama, after its broadcast, made everyone sympathize with the villain Qi Tongwei. It's hard to say that there weren't other shady dealings involved. Just like the future "Wild Wind" which promoted Gao Qiqiang, it's always the same formula.

It's not as straightforward as Jiang Yifeng's approach.

With only two days left until the finale of "The Hunt," Jiang Yifeng stopped putting much effort into it and began preparations for "Lost in Thailand."

On May 13th, the cast and crew of Lost in Thailand held an audition at the China World Hotel.

This audition not only attracted dozens of celebrity actors, but also invited some media reporters to conduct on-site interviews.

The main purpose was to promote the movie.

With the release of Lost in Thailand, Jiang Yifeng doesn't plan to use too many promotional tricks.

Previously, Jiang Yifeng was considered too low-profile and not famous enough to use tricks.

His films, Lost in Journey and 20 Again, have been huge successes, giving him a strong box office appeal.

Then just follow the traditional approach to promoting the movie.

Auditions, press conferences, premieres—a series of normal promotional events can generate a powerful level of attention.
