Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

That evening, the campus held a farewell party for Xinyi's roommates.

As the person in charge of the park, Zhang Kai stood on the stage in the center of the park and spoke eloquently.

"Good night!!!"

A unique, auspicious greeting within the park.

Zhang Kai said to Xin Yi's roommate, "Before you leave our big family, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the company to Mei Juan for her hard work over the past three years."

And all of her performance-based bonuses were given to Meijuan.

Meijuan dared not show any joy on her face as she nervously took the check from Zhang Kai's hand. The amount on the check was... 140,000 US dollars.

"What do you plan to do with such a large sum of money when you return to your hometown?"

Zhang Kai held the microphone to Meijuan's lips and waited silently for her answer.

Meijuan's voice trembled as she said, "I want to... go back to my hometown and help my grandma build a new house."

"How filial she is! Everyone should learn from her, you know? Applause!"

Zhang Kai possesses a gentle, calm madness. Amidst the applause of his fans, he excitedly announced into the microphone, "The most anticipated celebration segment is here!"

Brilliant fireworks rose from all around the park, immersing the entire park in this false hope.

The next day, before leaving, Xiaojuan gave the puppy to Xinyi and shared with her the secrets to quickly achieving sales targets in the early stages:

"You have to deceive the people around you first; the success rate is higher if you deceive them. Don't feel like you're harming them; the most important thing is to get out after you've met your goals. Understand?"

First, lie to those around you to erase your guilt, then lie to those around you again, and you'll feel much more at ease.

The story seems to have taken a twisted turn, and viewers are eagerly anticipating how Xinyi will close her first deal.

The scene shifts to Xinyi studying scripts on how to deceive acquaintances; her first target is her high school homeroom teacher.

The teacher's voice on the other end of the phone was very gentle:

"Xinyi, I heard you got into a good school. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"

"I've run into some family troubles lately, but the school keeps pressing me for tuition. Could I borrow some money from you?"

"Of course, no problem. How much do you need? How about this, send me your account number and I'll transfer it to you in a bit."

"Thank you, I'll return it to you right away."

"It's okay, don't worry. I know about your family's situation. Just focus on your studies and don't let your mother down."

The camera panned back, capturing more and more of what was in the frame, until Wang Xiaozhou's expressionless face appeared. The audience breathed a sigh of relief; he had been eavesdropping on Xinyi's phone call the whole time...

"Did it work?"

Zhang Kai's tone was threatening.

Xin Yi's voice was trembling with tears, whether from guilt or fear, it was hard to tell: "Mmm."

"Hurry up, the remaining five people can eat now."

The scene shifts back to the dormitory, where Xinyi's performance record has been marked with its first star. Even if she returns to the dormitory late, someone will bring her food. This kind of treatment seems to give her real hope of going home.

What follows is a series of shots, the camera constantly panning across Xin Yi's face, from Aunt Wu to Uncle Zhang, from the stray dog ​​rescue association to sponsoring college students, the little stars on Xin Yi's achievement list keep increasing.

Seeing her colleagues consistently achieving their targets and taking home commissions, Xinyi's enthusiasm grew stronger and stronger. Until one day, she woke up groggily and discovered that her dog was missing.

At first, she just wanted to go out to look for her dog, but because the henchman at the door was careless, the door lock was not locked. So she carefully pushed open the iron bars and searched for the dog along the way.

She peeked out and saw the dog just passing by.

The guard was sleeping not far away, and Xinyi didn't dare to call out. She could only hurry after the dog.

The woman and her dog passed through various stairwells and mezzanines, finally arriving at a fire escape. Xinyi had a bad feeling, but for the sake of her only source of comfort in the park, she still shakily pushed open the door leading down to the basement, where she opened a door emitting a red glow.

Then... she saw countless beds, and people strapped to them with plastic.

The dog was squatting next to a bed, panting. The cold storage wasn't just cold in terms of temperature, but also in terms of Xinyi's longing to go home.

Xinyi mustered her courage and picked up the dog, intending to return to her dormitory. However, after much hesitation, she still wanted to see who was lying on the bed.

So he gently lifted the white cloth and immediately couldn't help but let out an "Ah!"

The corpse bound like a rice dumpling on the bed was none other than Meijuan, who had previously announced that she was going home!

Xinyi was so frightened that she kept backing away, but before she could take two steps, she felt herself bump into something and screamed "Ah!" She quickly turned around and saw that she had bumped into Zhang Kai, who had no expression on his face!

"sorry..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

Xin Yi's innocent face, coupled with her pitiful expression at this moment, was enough to make any man feel tenderness and pity for her.

But Zhang Kai wasn't human, and the way he looked at Xinyi didn't seem like he was looking at a human being.

He simply crouched down silently...

......

The screen suddenly went dark, and a line of large characters appeared.

[Act One - Execution!]

The audience finally breathed a sigh of relief. The movie was incredibly dense with information. They had already explained a lot of things, but only ten minutes had passed before the narration started!

During the time the screen went black, everyone finally had a chance to type in the comments.

[This is a novel topic. It's about the telecom fraud industrial parks in Southeast Asia. Anyone who's been to the border knows how rampant it is there now, it just hasn't been reported yet.]

[Holy crap, Wang Xiaozhou's acting is superb! He's so utterly twisted, his expression clearly shows he doesn't treat others like human beings. Could he have some other profession in real life?]

[Mao Xiaotong is so cute, how could you do this to her? Don't torture her! Don't torture her in the following scenes!]

[This has a realistic feel to it. The director is telling everyone, don't go abroad unless absolutely necessary, and if you do go, don't go to such chaotic countries, because you might not be able to come back!]

As someone in the industry, I'd like to say that there are actually very few people like Xinyi who have been scammed there. Many go there hoping to make money, but end up not making any money, but instead plunging headlong into hell.

......

Off-screen, Meng Ziyi asked Wang Xiaozhou, "Ten minutes have passed, and we've only just started the main feature. Is this movie about a telecom fraud industrial park?"

Everyone seems to be wondering if this movie is too information-dense, with the main story only starting ten minutes in. But only Wang Xiaozhou knows that the "Return of the Soul" he adapted was originally a TV series in his previous life. To ensure the integrity of the story while also making it exciting, he had to compress the amount of information as much as possible, leaving only the essential content.

"No, take your time watching. I already wrote it in the title: this is a suspenseful revenge drama!"
