I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 514, Drama King of the Year

The winter chill, coupled with the climax of the plot in "The Hidden Corner," is making people increasingly cold and shivering.

The audience could feel the cold, and Zhang Yi could feel the cold too.

However, Li Yun didn't feel cold while watching—

Zhang Dongsheng, his own role.

Even Zhang Yi could feel the cold, but Li Yun couldn't.

Or rather, the body cannot feel it.

The third person in the room wouldn't notice.

"Zhang Dongsheng is exactly like me. He would do the most extreme things to protect his 'family.' His demands on this are simply pathological. He would even kill his wife for it."

"Li Yun," standing beside him, looked intently at Zhang Dongsheng on the screen and said...

This role is practically tailor-made for me; it's so similar to him in every way.

They're all the same: extremes.

And loneliness.

Like Zhu Chaoyang, he yearns for friendship because of loneliness, and for love because he lacks a father's love.

Like Zhang Dongsheng, he yearns for a "family" because of loneliness. Even if it means placing himself in the most humble position, even if his wife cheats on him, he doesn't care, as long as he can maintain the integrity of his "family."

"In some ways, we're actually quite similar, whether it's you or Zhang Dongsheng."

Li Yun looked at Zhang Dongsheng on the screen.

It's not just that the character of 'Li Yun' is incredibly immersive.

The sense of immersion was incredibly strong.

That feeling of loneliness was something Li Yun had never escaped. Occasionally, it would be alleviated by friends, physical relationships, and Liu Qianqian, but ultimately, it would still linger.

Even in this world, one can feel that gentle and warm feeling from Li Yuxuan and Ji Tielan.

But Li Yun still felt that something was missing; that feeling of loneliness was still there.

Therefore, even I, like Zhang Dongsheng, have similar needs. Perhaps, like him, I am obsessed with something and will even stop at nothing to achieve it.

Any means necessary, any price to pay, is acceptable.

And as the plot reached its climax...

The viewership rating also reached a peak of 5.4.

The series is already more than halfway through its run, but the audience retention rate remains at 70%.

High retention rates and viewership ratings propelled the series to its peak.

"It surpasses Journey Under the Midnight Sun."

At this time, Tang Min was paying attention to the popularity of the two TV series.

A conclusion was reached.

The Hidden Corner

Surpassing "White Night". This island nation's king of suspense, this Asia's king of suspense.

It was even surpassed.

In the early stages, it was already incredible that it was on par with "White Night Walking," but now it has reached an even more incredible level.

A low-budget, original suspense drama.

At this moment, Tang Min was thinking.

"If the ending isn't a disaster."

If the ending doesn't have any unexpected twists.

Is it possible for "The Hidden Corner" to reach the level of this year's top drama in terms of ratings and word-of-mouth?

The plot of "The Hidden Corner" has reached its climax.

Their second transaction took place at Zhu Yongping's seafood factory.

Wang Yong, Wang Yao's younger brother, also suspects Zhu Chaoyang of murdering Zhu Jingjing. Unlike Wang Yao's persistent harassment, Wang Ping is a seasoned gangster.

He's ruthless when he hits people, regardless of whether you're a junior high school student or not.

If you don't admit it, then I'll use water torture to restore your memory.

"That's going too far. It's just suspicion; they haven't even said it's really related to Zhu Chaoyang."

"Trying to reason with gangsters is like casting pearls before swine."

"How brutal! It looks terrifying."

Wu Hai kept a close eye on the Hupu forum.

I also watch TV dramas all the time.

I'm so busy managing the forum that I don't have the time or energy to really watch the show properly.

Since the airing of The Hidden Corner.

Traffic to the entire Hupu TV section will increase by 20% at this time.

The last TV series to drive such a surge in viewership.

It's still "The New Three Kingdoms," one of the four great classical novels of Chinese history that have been passed down to this day.

Wu Hai then thought of something: the movie section's traffic was also brought about by Li Yun in this way.

The last time there was a sudden surge in traffic in the movie section was when "Dying to Survive" was released.

"Dying to Survive" is about to be taken off the screens.

The Hidden Corner has taken over.

So this film and television zone really lives solely off Li Yun?

At this moment, Wu Hai's expression was complex, but it also conveyed an indescribable joy and pride.

After all, this is one of my favorite celebrities.

"Never mind, let's just watch the show first."

He really didn't dare miss this scene at the seafood processing plant; this man named Wang Yong had overstepped the "rules" and bypassed the police investigation.

A person outside the rules, someone unexpected.

They used the most brutal methods to extract confessions through torture.

Anyone would be afraid of Wang Yong, including Zhu Chaoyang.

This includes Zhang Dongsheng, who came with Zhu Chaoyang.

He was as polite and somewhat obsequious as ever.

I don't know him. How you deal with Zhu Chaoyang is none of my business. I will forget everything that happened here.

But how could Wang Yong, who was used to being arrogant, let Zhang Dongsheng off the hook?

He wanted to take care of him together.

Moreover, Wang Yong, in a fit of anger, needed to vent his frustration on Zhu Chaoyang, who refused to admit his "crime," and Zhang Dongsheng was a perfect target.

He appears weak and refined, never fighting back when punched or kicked, only begging for mercy.

Ok

Hey, society bullies honest people; they've been doing it for a long time.

They probably didn't even think about what was happening right now.

He is a real murderer.

The murderer revealed his ruthlessness.

The thugs had no idea what was about to happen.

Five cuts.

Two stabs caused injury, two stabs were fatal, and one stab was the finishing blow.

Zhang Dongsheng made his move three times.

Without hesitation, the three-stage attack was highly purposeful and extremely clear, with each strike having a target. Wang Yong never imagined that he would die in such a way, without even a moment to be confused.

Those who resort to violence.

He ultimately died from even more violent violence.

Surprisingly, it gave the audience a sense of satisfaction.

Zhang Dongsheng, my war god.

Meanwhile, Zhang Dongsheng, living under the camera's lens, skillfully disposes of the corpse in front of Zhu Chaoyang.

The scene before my eyes sent a chill down my spine.

This is the devil hidden beneath the refined and courteous exterior of a good adult.

It sends chills down your spine.

Wu Hai couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

Even though I'm in a heated room.

But it felt so cold.

What followed made him feel even colder.

Zhu Chaoyang lured Wang Yao to the cold storage of the seafood factory.

There is a third person here.

He arranged to meet Zhang Dongsheng here to trade memory cards.

What does he want to do?

A good suspense drama will present you with puzzles, but they won't be too difficult.

Today's audience.

I already guessed what it was.

Zhu Chaoyang was the one who copied the memory card, and he only began a series of actions when his father suspected that he was related to Zhu Jingjing's death.

He brought Wang Yao and Zhang Dongsheng together.

Zhang Dongsheng was already very skilled at killing. He would strangle Wang Yao to death while saying, "Why didn't you give me a chance?"

Then they skillfully disposed of the body.

But something Zhu Chaoyang never expected.

It was probably Zhu Yongping; his own father had actually come to Wang Yao's place.

This made him panic.

Fate is not something you can so easily control.

Zhu Chaoyang never expected that his father would come along.

He was also killed by Zhang Dongsheng.

He only wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Kill Wang Yao, and then reclaim your father's love.

I never expected that even Zhu Yongping would die. He was in pain, he was unwilling, but in the end he found peace.

Zhu Chaoyang is a rational child.

Since Zhu Yongping is dead.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The story becomes increasingly explicit and dark as it progresses.

At this moment, Jiang Wen and the others all gasped in shock.

Depressing, gloomy.

Another comparable work is "Journey Under the Midnight Sun," both featuring young protagonists and both depicting a dark and brooding youth.

But it's different from that kind of Japanese-style hysterical darkness.

The Hidden Corner tells a story in a very restrained way.

The biggest villain turned out to be the bad kid Zhu Chaoyang.

"I never expected that Zhu Chaoyang would be the final winner. Damn, he acted so well, and his character was so well portrayed." Jiang Wen felt a sense of exhilarating satisfaction, almost like having a diarrhea, after seeing the ending.

Even Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised.

Zhu Chaoyang is actually the biggest boss.

Bad kids aren't really bad.

Good kids are not good.

The same applies to adults.

Good or bad is just a shell; beneath that shell lies their desires.

Only Liu Qianqian spoke at this moment.

"He survived, but he's not a winner..."

"If he's not the winner, then who is?" Jiang Chenggang wondered.

Sisi didn't say anything.

Ok.

Everyone has a different understanding of the ending.

Also normal.

However, Jiang Chenggang was extremely excited.

It received rave reviews and had phenomenal ratings.

It has a Douban score of 9.1.

The discussion on Hupu surpassed that of the new Three Kingdoms.

It can be said that Li Yun is at the end of this year.

It contributed the best drama of the year.

Absolutely the king of dramas.

At this moment, Li Yun walked out of the cramped rented room.

Then I saw the clouds on the horizon and the blinding sunlight.

So many missed calls.

As Li Yun answered each call, he was met with congratulatory messages.

Two consecutive explosions.

When I, the god of remembrance, contributed an explosive movie.

The next hit, Hidden Corner, directly took over the spotlight from the Li circle.

"Your demonstration was a huge success! You managed to create such a viral sensation with a combination of ordinary people and teen idols. What kind of genius are you?!"

Xie Qingya was calling Li Yun.

That would be slightly uncouth.

I'm so excited!

Li Yun delivered a powerful blow this time.

Not only in terms of suspense, but as a domestically produced drama, it completely outclassed the Japanese dramas.

And it also proved something.

Li Yun and Li Quan are capable of promoting people.

Now she knows how many film and television companies will be knocking on the door of this orphanage, trying to win over Zhang Yi, this gloomy yet stubborn, thin child.

His melancholic and stubborn temperament is just too captivating.

Young people are easily swayed by this kind of thing...

White Night Walk also achieved outstanding results in the eyes of young people by using this approach.

"I am so talented, you should know that. I anticipated this step, which is why I used amateur actors, hahahahaha!"

"Working with you is truly the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."

"Absolutely."

At this moment, Li Yun listened to Xie Qingya's chatter and didn't say anything more, only exchanging pleasantries about the next movie's plan.

In Xie Qingya's words, she would probably do everything in her power to support Li Yun's project.

No matter how absurd the plan is.

She will do everything in her power to support you.

"If I said I wanted to take on Cameron, would you support me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Li Yun smiled and continued.

"Just kidding. Help me with the promotion for The Three-Body Problem first. I feel like your Huaying's promotional resources would be more useful."

"That's a must."

Zhang Yi's fate changed from that moment on. From a boy in an orphanage, he stepped into the entertainment industry without having to be a struggling actor in Hengdian or Beijing. He had resources right away and people were asking him to be the lead actor.

It even left him at a loss.

He made a special phone call to ask Li Yun what kind of decision she should make.

Children in the welfare home.

They don't even have the right to ask their parents for their opinions.

The only option is to ask Li Yun, the guide.

Ultimately, he was just a precocious teenager, and it was difficult for him to have his own opinions when faced with such a big issue.

There will be anxieties and anxieties.

It was already past 11 p.m., and Li Yun was enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet today. He sat on a bench in his residential complex, watching the moon, and then waited for the release of "The Three-Body Problem," and then watched how it fared.

And so, they decide how much investment resources they have to travel to Earth.

A vast, wandering Earth that belongs to me.

Li Yun thought for a moment and then said.

"Go to school first, or come to my place if you don't want to go to school."

"Let me think about it."

"Okay, no need to rush to give me an answer. You're very talented."

Li Yun then hung up the phone.

However, nine out of ten people would choose to enter this industry. After all, it's a place of dazzling lights and rampant materialism, where money can be made quickly and easily. Who wouldn't like such an industry? You could say that entering this industry would change his destiny.

"You say that Cheng Shilong's woman is called Dragon Girl, and Zhang Mouzi's woman is called Mou Girl, so what should I call my man, Li Yun? Yun Man?"

At this moment, Li Yun smiled with great interest.

I find this name quite interesting.

But looking around at the empty space, I also felt a sense of self-amusement.

Suddenly, Li Yun began to miss the phone call she had made during the day.

It's at least not as quiet as it is now.

Just at this time.

A pair of delicate white hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

"Liu Qianqian".

"How did you know!"

"Because...your hands are the warmest among all the girls I know."
