This director lacks vision.

Chapter 211 The Hunt Ending
At 8:5 p.m. on May 14, Du Wei returned home in a modified Audi.

Seeing Jing Tian lying on the sofa with her bare feet, playing on her phone, her pink-painted toes twitching, she was clearly in a good mood.

Du Wei said with a smile, "With so many people criticizing you online, I was worried you'd be in a bad mood."

Now it seems Jiang Yifeng is quite capable; he managed to make you happy and completely unaffected by public opinion.

Hearing Du Wei speak, Jing Tian realized with a start that her mother had returned.

She put down her phone, stood up, hugged Du Wei affectionately, and then said, "Jiang Yifeng wasn't trying to coax me! He's such a sly fox!"

Du Wei had a very good impression of Jiang Yifeng and knew how to manipulate people. At home, she would always praise her future son-in-law.

As a result, Jing Tian often gets jealous and can't help but disagree with her mother.

"Oh? What's wrong with him? Is he not gentle enough and too rude?"
But I remember you told me last time that you liked him being a little wild.

Jing Tian blushed as Du Wei teased her, and she quickly said, "Jiang Yifeng knew all along that Warring States was a bad movie, but he deliberately didn't say anything and just watched me make a fool of myself."

He said I would only wake up when I was scolded, and he kept telling me to lie down and let him mock me, and never fight back.

You know, he clearly knew everything, why didn't he tell me sooner? It's infuriating!

Although Jing Tian said she was angry, her eyes were full of smiles, and her tone when she mentioned Jiang Yifeng was full of pride.

Du Wei patted her daughter's head and said with a smile, "Jiang Yifeng did the right thing."

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever, and neither do flowers bloom for a hundred days. This applies to individuals, families, and even large corporations; everything experiences ups and downs.

One should be humble when necessary, and accept criticism when necessary; never become arrogant.

Hearing her mother's words, Jing Tian misunderstood and asked, "Did something happen at home?"

Du Wei shook her head.

"It's alright, everything is going smoothly. Your dad should be promoted after he finishes his studies at the provincial education bureau, and my real estate business is growing bigger and bigger."

Our family should be able to enjoy a few years of prosperity.

"Why only a few years?"

"A few years isn't enough? The real estate bubble is getting bigger and bigger, it will burst eventually, and your dad's time will be up in a few years."

Seeing Jing Tian's confused look, Du Wei stopped talking about it and said with a smile, "I have good news for you. I have reached an agreement with Lu Zheng and the others during my business trip. Wanda is preparing to acquire AMC Entertainment Holdings, the second largest cinema chain in the United States."

Once the acquisition is completed, Wanda Cinemas will take over 4865 screens in 338 cinemas under AMC.

With the support of theaters, you'll have a foundation for your future films to enter the US market and retake Hollywood.

Upon hearing the news, Jing Tian was very excited. She cheered and jumped up and down twice, creating a "DuangDuang" effect.

"I want to tell Fengzi this good news!"

Du Wei quickly stopped her, "Don't rush, this matter has only just begun and will go through several rounds of negotiations, so there are still some uncertainties."

"I just wanted to share this with Fengzi so he would know how important I am!"

Jing Tian couldn't keep things to herself and eventually couldn't wait to share the news with Jiang Yifeng.

She was very happy and ignored Du Wei, continuing to chat with Jiang Yifeng on WeChat.

[When Pacific Rim is released, we'll have at least 3000 screens in North America!]

With guaranteed screenings and your talent, our film is sure to be a global hit and a counterattack against Hollywood!

[Then I'll be a true international superstar! Hahaha!]

[Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Hot Love—all of them, step aside!]

Just like Mengmeng said, I am the only cousin-in-law!

Jiang Yifeng was not surprised at all by the news about Jing Tian, ​​after all, he was a reborn person and knew the situation.

By 2012, Wanda had successfully acquired AMC, becoming the world's largest cinema chain.

But Jiang Yifeng wasn't one to spoil the mood, so he went along with Jing Tian's words and flattered her a few times, making her even happier.

Then he said:
[The final episode of The Hunt has been released. I'm going to watch the show now, we'll chat later.]

In fact, Jiang Yifeng didn't watch the show at all; he was just very dissatisfied that Yang Mi didn't get the role in Lost in Thailand.

She found Qin Lan, who was equally dissatisfied, and together they formed an Avengers alliance, wanting to take revenge on Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng had to ruthlessly suppress the Yangqin duo's revenge, so he naturally didn't have time to chat with Jing Tian.

Jing Tian didn't think much of it. She replied with an "Mmm" emoji and then turned on her TV.

At that moment, CCTV-1 was broadcasting "Hunting".

The previous episode has finished airing; this is the final episode.

The preceding plot involved Anxi's team deliberately using a paparazzi account to spread information online after the case of host Shi Bo, claiming to have crucial evidence that could prove there was a mastermind behind the incident.

Furthermore, some analysis was conducted, subtly pointing to Mr. Chuan Taijun and Aunt Cai.

They panicked when they saw it and started contacting paparazzi to verify its authenticity, hoping to pay money to settle the matter.

However, he fell into Anxi's trap, step by step, and not only was he disgraced, but he also implicated the cooperation between Wangzhongwang Media and the K organization.

When Jing Tian turned on the TV, she saw that the authorities, in conjunction with local Thai authorities, had wiped out the K organization in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, she pursed her lips and said, "Filming a hunting scene like this is pretty much a poor ending."

The ending still highlights the power of the authorities, which is a plot point many young people don't like.

The Hunting series, starring Liu Yifei, is currently airing very well. Thanks to this series, Liu Yifei has regained her previous high popularity and has even become more famous.

Even many negative stories circulating online were deconstructed by Jiang Yifeng under the guise of cyberbullying because of the airing of this drama.

Seeing her rival's career thriving, Jing Tian was naturally unhappy, so she always found fault with Hunting.

Du Wei shook her head and said with a smile, "After all, this is a drama produced in cooperation with the Public Security Bureau. The higher-ups have tolerated some of the content of this drama, so of course there should be positive publicity."

Jing Tian remained silent.

On television, Anxi gets her revenge, but Wangzhongwang Media doesn't completely collapse.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. At Liu Shuangshi's urging, Wang Zhongwang began to relentlessly smear Anxi.

The Huang Yao that Aunt Cai created for An Qian back then has now been widely circulated online by Wang Zhongwang.

Anxi had previously made inappropriate remarks online in an attempt to help Wu Guifang, making her a controversial figure online.

Wangzhongwang Media's attack was very effective. Many people on the internet believed Huang Yao and joined in attacking An Qian, making all sorts of offensive and offensive remarks.

Faced with this situation, Bai Kejun advised: "I suggest you quit the internet for a while and stop reading online comments."

Your depression is quite severe; you should seek proper treatment.

The other friends also looked at Anxi with concern.

Anxi smiled brightly and said smugly, "Who told you I have depression?"

Bai Kejun said, "Don't hide it. Have you forgotten that I used to be a doctor? I even treated you. Although you seem carefree and happy every day, you actually hide your sadness deep inside."

Anxi shook her head and explained with a smile, "This was all part of my plan. I arranged all of this from the beginning, including my escape route."

After saying that, Anxi posted a Weibo post, recounting how she and Liu Shuangshi were classmates, how she encountered a talent scout, and how she was slandered by Aunt Cai, along with her medical records from the past few years.

The medical records, taken once a week, are densely packed with information about the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up examinations for depression.

After being published online, it immediately attracted widespread attention and heated discussion across the internet.

At this time, Wangzhongwang Media was reporting on Huang Yao, who was associated with Anxi, which conveniently confirmed Anxi's Weibo post. Coupled with several years of medical records, the credibility of the report was extremely high.

Furthermore, Wu Guifang also came forward, stating that the kneeling protest in Sanlitun was all planned by An Qian, with the aim of raising funds to save the children.

The situation took a dramatic turn.

Not only did Aunt Cai's reputation become even worse, but Liu Shuangshi's reputation also collapsed, and he became a rat that everyone wanted to beat.

Many netizens have even begun to believe that Huang Yao, the character Anxi embodies, is actually based on Liu Shuangshi's experiences.

Aunt Cai was simply taking her daughter's experience and projecting it onto Anxi.

Anxi suddenly became an internet hero, receiving widespread admiration and praise.

Anxi's revenge has finally come to a satisfactory end.

Upon seeing this, Du Wei exclaimed, "How could this drama have a bad ending? Jiang Yifeng is very good at directing; he has perfectly limited the power of the authorities."

The reality is the same.

The authorities generally only deal with clearly defined illegal and disorderly conduct; they will not easily intervene in the gray areas on the internet.

This gave the female lead, Anxi, room to shine.

She used online public opinion to get revenge on Aunt Cai and Teacher Liu.

Furthermore, it resolved the foreshadowing from the beginning.

Anxi goes to the hospital every week to prove that she has developed a mental illness after being falsely accused.

It has to be said, the power of depression is truly immense!

Hearing her mother praise her so highly, Jing Tian was unconvinced, but she couldn't refute it.

She could only say, "This was all done by Jiang Yifeng; it has nothing to do with Liu Yifei."

As soon as she finished speaking, the scene on the TV changed, and Anxi returned to the small town where she went to high school.

She stood on a riverbank, looking at the small river in the town, and couldn't help but shout out.

Bai Kejun walked over and asked, "Are you sure you don't have depression?"

Anxi didn't answer, but turned and gave Bai Kejun a bright smile.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Anxi's hair, and the warm spring sun shone on her fair and gentle cheeks, making her smile even more healing.

This should have been a warm and beautiful scene, but it inexplicably made people sad.

Because of silence.

In this final scene, Jiang Yifeng was very bold; after Bai Kejun asked the question that the audience also wanted to know, he silenced all the sounds.

Without sound, there is no vitality; even the sunlight becomes cold.

Anxi's warm and healing smile turned into a silent laugh, creating an extreme emotional contrast.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer, and it is also the attitude of people with depression towards life.

When they are healthy, they are just like normal people. But once the illness strikes, it's as if life has lost its sound and vitality, falling into complete silence, and all they want is to end it all.

The camera paused for three seconds before the sound finally appeared.

Hey~ you forgot, the cold wind that cuts through the wound~
Hey~ you believed it, that a life without pain or discomfort is considered a life lived…

As the theme song "What Can I Use to Keep You Here" began to play, Anxi waved to Bai Kejun, turned and left, disappearing into the crowded flow of people.

The entire series has come to a complete end.

Du Wei was silent for a moment before saying, "Liu Yifei's acting in other dramas wasn't very good, but her performance in this drama was truly remarkable, much better than yours."

The character Anxi is outwardly cheerful but inwardly sorrowful, carrying a heavy burden, making her both admirable and pitiful.

An actor's greatest charm lies in the roles they play in dramas.

Liu Yifei's portrayal of this character will undoubtedly gain her a huge number of new fans.

Jing Tian remained defiant, "Pshaw! Once my Pacific Rim airs, it'll definitely be more popular than Hunting!"

Du Wei shook her head and said, "Young people may prefer the Pacific Rim, and it may be more popular overseas, but in terms of influence in China, it definitely can't compare to hunting."

This show has had a huge impact; everyone in my company is talking about it.

Even someone like me who doesn't usually watch dramas made a point of watching "The Hunting."

After your Uncle Zhang watches the hunt, whenever female students come to ask him questions, he always opens his office door to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

The Uncle Zhang that Du Wei mentioned is a university professor and a former colleague and friend of Jing Tian's father.

After the popularity of "The Hunt", it influenced the behavior of many people.

This drama has truly become a hit beyond its original scope, sparking heated discussions and debates across society.

Du Wei asked, "When will Pacific Rim air?"

Jing Tian said, "It's expected to be in July. I'm going to audition for the theme song the day after tomorrow."

"Then get ready, you'll definitely become famous after Pacific Rim airs."

"Absolutely! Mom, you really have faith in me!"

"Hehe, I have confidence in Xiao Jiang."

Jing Tian: "..."

Unconvinced, Jing Tian went back to her room and went online.

She browsed around online and found that most people had positive reviews of the ending of the hunt.

Many people are discussing whether Anxi actually suffers from depression.

He also praised Liu Yifei in various ways.

On Weibo's trending topics, there was even a trending topic praising Liu Yifei as the "Queen of TV Dramas".

Seeing this, Jing Tian felt irritated. She turned off her computer and started practicing the theme song for Pacific Rim.

"It awakened me from despair, the cry so clear..."
