Film and Television Overview: Starting from the Same Window

Let's continue with the critique of the works.

Ye Jiping pulled out a photo of a building with a hot air balloon next to it.

Zhou Shengchen, with his keen eye, noticed that the building was not far from the school.

Ye Jiping, looking rather displeased, asked Bi Shisan, "Bi Shisan, did you take this photo?"

Bi Shisan glanced at the document and nodded: "Yes!"

Teacher Ye said angrily, "I've lived in this city for eight years and I've never seen a hot air balloon before!"

Bi Shisan argued forcefully, "There was a hot air balloon that day, but it was gone in an instant, like a shooting star streaking across the sky!"

Teacher Ye shook her head helplessly: "You didn't get any grades in this class. Also, your photos look too artificial. Photo editing tools can only be used as an aid, but you rely on them too much. I looked at them carefully last night, and it seems that all the photos you submitted before were photoshopped, right?"

"Yes!" Bi Shisan replied calmly.

Ye Jiping frowned and said, "I can let the previous ones go, but I don't want any future photos to turn out to be photoshopped!"

Bi Shisan nodded seriously: "I understand, I promise I won't let you find out again!"

"Forget it, forget it!" Teacher Ye sighed helplessly. He had no way to deal with Bi Shisan, so he said, "Everyone's life path is different. I can only teach you the basics. If you can create flawless photos using only software in the future, you can also become a different kind of master!"

Just as I finished speaking, the bell rang, and everyone packed up their things to leave.

At this moment, Ye Jiping suddenly called out to Xiao Haiyang, reminding him, "Xiao Haiyang, don't forget your psychological counseling this month!"

Xiao Haiyang nodded, gesturing vigorously with his hand, winking and saying in a cheeky tone, "Everyone, the day to fill the world with love and peace has arrived again. The much-anticipated psychological counseling class is here again. Anyone want to chat with me?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the students in the class went about their business as usual, and no one paid any attention to him.

"Alright! Your ruthless reactions were exactly what the psychology committee member expected. Now, Lu Qiaochuan (student ID number 3) and Lin Luoxue (student ID number 4), please come to room 104 between 1 PM and 3 PM. Class monitor and vice-monitor, please cooperate." After saying that, Xiao Haiyang turned around and sat down, and began to pack his things.

After Xiao Haiyang finished speaking, the students left one after another.

Chapter 110: A Distorted and Upright Value System

Ren Yifan and Lu Qiaochuan sat facing each other at the tea restaurant at the west gate of the school.

Ren Yifan looked down at the fried noodles in front of him, his face darkening, and remained silent.

Lu Qiaochuan gently pushed the plate of fried noodles in front of him towards Ren Yifan, his face full of flattery: "Mr. Ren, come, come... Haven't you been saying you wanted to eat fried noodles for days?"

Ren Yifan, his face full of displeasure, pushed the plate back to Lu Qiaochuan and said, enunciating each word clearly, "What I was saying was that you, me, and Zhong Bai, the three of us, should go to a Korean restaurant in the city center for stir-fried noodles."

Lu Qiaochuan nodded, completely ignoring everything Ren Yifan had said before, and then pointed to the fried noodles on the table: "Yeah! Let's eat fried noodles!"

Ren Yifan rarely saw Lu Qiaochuan acting so strangely, and couldn't help but frown: "You want to borrow money from me? We've known each other for so many years! Besides, I've always been indifferent to money. You really don't need to treat me to a meal first and then ask me for money."

At this point, Yi Fan sat up straight, his expression becoming serious: "Let me put it this way! I. Have. No. Money!" After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the fried noodles on the plate in front of him.

Lu Qiaochuan was helpless. What did his good brother think of him? Did he, Lu Qiaochuan, look like someone who was short of money?

However, thinking about the counseling session in the afternoon, he had no choice but to continue, "It's like this, I haven't finished writing my thesis. After lunch, I have to go back and finish it, so you have to attend a psychological committee meeting for me!"

Ren Yifan waved his hand, directly refusing, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, because I have no problems, I'm mentally healthy!"

Lu Qiaochuan hurriedly said, "I know you are healthy, and I am healthy too!"

Ren Yifan gestured: "It's unhealthy to have a friend attend this kind of meeting for you. Besides, why don't you have Zhong Bai go for you!"

Lu Qiaochuan said, "I reckon she hasn't finished writing either!"

Ren Yifan put down his chopsticks, his face darkening: "So, neither of you are going to the club activity this afternoon?"

Lu Qiaochuan nodded: "Let me put it this way, neither of us can finish writing it!" After saying that, he pushed his plate of fried noodles over to Lu Qiaochuan.

.........

The Publicity Department is the strongest student organization at Southern Media University. Unlike other student organizations where the president is in charge, the Publicity Department's work is usually overseen by the vice president, Huang Yanwu.

There's nothing we can do; aside from important matters, President Xiao Haiyang is frequently late, leaves early, or just spacing out...

For example, right now in the propaganda department, Xiao Haiyang's eyes were glazed over, lifeless, and he looked utterly hopeless.

I don't know what happened to make him like this.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Noticing his strange behavior, Yu Hao, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand in front of Xiao Haiyang and asked with concern.

After Yu Hao's incident, Xiao Haiyang suddenly realized what had happened and quickly came to his senses.

Then he asked Yu Hao, "Do you think there's something wrong with my values?"

“Repeating a grade for two consecutive years, of course there’s a problem,” Yu Hao replied without hesitation, putting his arm around his shoulder.

Xiao Haiyang seemed not to have heard what Yu Hao said, and only habitually thanked him, then his eyes became confused again.

"What exactly triggered you?" Yu Hao asked curiously.

Xiao Haiyang thought for a moment: "The values ​​of those two people at noon were distorted yet upright, but they arrived at the same conclusion by different paths, so I think it is my own values ​​that are problematic."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Yu Hao immediately revealed a gossipy look.

…………

Let's go back to the midday psychological counseling class.

In the counseling room, Xiao Haiyang was almost asleep when someone finally came to provide guidance.

He looked up and smiled at the person who had arrived. "You've come." At the same time, he glanced at the clock behind him and said, "You're quite punctual."

"I'm always punctual." These were the words of Lin Luoxue, who arrived at the psychological activity room at exactly one o'clock.

"Is arriving at 2 o'clock considered punctual?" This was the question asked by Ren Yifan, who arrived at the psychological activity room at 2 o'clock.

Xiao Haiyang didn't care about the other party's attitude; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief: "To be honest, I'm already relieved that someone came."

"I never break my promises to boys," Lin Luoxue said with a radiant smile.

"I'm usually late unless it's a woman." Ren Yifan raised an eyebrow, not ashamed of his shameless words, but rather proud of them.

Xiao Haiyang had no choice but to say, "Then let's begin. What's your zodiac sign?"

“Scorpio, blood type A,” Lin Luoxue replied without hesitation.

"Skip that. Only women care about zodiac signs and blood types," Ren Yifan said casually.

Lin Luoxue looked at Xiao Haiyang with a half-smile: "You don't ask all these boring questions, do you?"

Xiao Haiyang nodded, then suddenly revealed a gossipy look: "Let me tell you something juicy. Have you ever had any experience dating someone of the opposite sex?"

·· ········Requesting flowers···· ··

Ren Yifan scoffed dismissively, "The twelve constellations are all here!"

Lin Luoxue looked at Xiao Haiyang with a mocking gaze, as if asking: Why are you asking such an idiotic question?

Xiao Haiyang understood immediately and asked sincerely, "So, what are your thoughts on dating the opposite sex?"

This brings us to Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan's areas of expertise as sea kings and sea queens.

Lin Luoxue said softly, "Boys are very simple; because what they want is also very simple. Smile at them, make them feel no pressure, and encourage them; when you go out to eat, split the bill with them so they will respect you from the bottom of their hearts; the key point is, what they want is not love, but understanding."

Ren Yifan immediately had something to say: "Women are complicated; but I understand them; listen to them, make them feel superior, obey them; never let a girl spend a penny; trying to understand women's strange thinking is fundamentally wrong, all they want is love!"

 …

Xiao Haiyang, bewildered, continued to ask, "So what's your opinion on the concept of a soulmate?"

"Soulmate?" Queen Lin Luoxue shook her head. "That's almost impossible. If I meet true love, I will love that person to death. But if you never meet true love in your life, you might as well share your feelings with someone else."

Ren Yifan, the "Sea King," raised an eyebrow, not to be outdone: "Every girl you've ever loved is your soulmate, it's just that the time they spend with you is random. True love doesn't refer to a specific person. As long as you feel that she is incomparably radiant at a certain moment, then she is true love. If you feel that you no longer love this girl, you might as well give your feelings to someone else."

The two people's almost completely opposite and shameless answers about soulmates completely overturned Xiao Haiyang's worldview, view of love, and values.

But he wasn't giving up, thinking of making one last attempt: "So, in your eyes, love isn't a serious matter?"

"Can serious matters still be fun?" Lin Luoxue asked with a smile, continuing, "The best years are so fleeting. Have you ever heard the old saying, 'When the rouge and powder are in full bloom, how can the temples be turned to frost?' Of course, it always ends in a breakup. You experience breakups as many times as you've had relationships. What good is his deep affection? Deep affection itself is a form of blackmail. What does it matter if people call me a promiscuous woman? I don't care."

Chapter 111: The Knife Xiao Haiyang Unleashed

Ren Yifan said enthusiastically, "Love is a very romantic thing. Romance means there are countless surprises and unexpected changes. Why should I be serious? Ten thousand years is too long. I only care about the present. Those girls who said they would die if they left me are still alive. If you don't love someone, just break up gracefully. It's a matter of mutual consent, so why be so persistent? Besides, I'm a scumbag myself, so let people laugh and scold me!"

Xiao Haiyang thought for a moment and said, "Although what you're saying sounds ridiculous, I have a feeling that you're telling the truth!"

Lin Luoxue smiled slightly: "Is there anything else you'd like to ask later?"

Ren Yifan said impatiently, "Is it almost over?"

Xiao Haiyang covered his face: "I really admire your attitude!"

Ren Yifan asked curiously, "What attitude?"

Xiao Haiyang: "Shameless yet neither humble nor arrogant!"

Although his words were harsh, Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan simply shook their heads, not taking them to heart at all.

"Your view of love is very well-developed. Not caring about anything like '360' (referring to the 360s and 460s) is a sign of a carefree life. I have nothing to say. But there's one more thing I want to ask. Even if you feel you can come and go freely in love, how do you view family?" Seeing that love couldn't handle the two, Xiao Haiyang had no choice but to resort to the weapon of family.

Sure enough, the two of them were no longer as indifferent as before.

“Single-parent family, there’s nothing to say.” Ren Yifan felt a pang of pain in his heart, but still managed to shrug nonchalantly.

"Personal privacy." Lin Luoxue wore a fake smile, but her mind was in turmoil.

"What about friendship?" Seeing that the kinship knife seemed to have no effect, Xiao Haiyang then summoned the friendship knife.

Instantly, the two fell silent.

It was obvious that Xiao Haiyang's knife had worked.

After a long while, Lin Luoxue forced a smile and said, "Let it be."

"I have friends all over the world." Ren Yifan had a bright smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Xiao Haiyang pushed the attendance book for the psychological counseling class forward, indicating that today's conversation was over.

"You can leave after signing."

Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan didn't want to continue either, so they signed the papers and left.

Inside the publicity department, Xiao Haiyang recounted the entire psychological counseling session he had given Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan at noon to Yu Hao. Then, with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes, he asked, "So, is my value system distorted?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
