Free Web NovelChapter 209: Chapter 207: Punishment
"In this movie, the most satisfying part is the female protagonist killing freely, but in the end, it’s quite tragic. It doesn’t really fit your usual style." Xiao Yu’an said.
He thought Mu Ran would have the female lead kill her father too.
Mu Ran pursed her lips, "But this is reality."
She had shot several endings, and this ending’s inspiration came from reality.
Xiao Yu’an remained silent.
The discussion online was intense, with some feeling the ending was bad, others thinking it was cliché, and yet others felt it was too ironic and too realistic. However, many people watched this movie, feeling both scared and happy, and ended up in tears.
The main source of happiness.
Lied in Song Biao.
An idiot who was spun around by the female lead, and also the only person in the entire film who had a hint of kindness towards her.
But what was most important about this movie was that it gave everyone hope in horror films, and made people fear certain folk customs.
[The embroidered shoes were amazing!]
[The tips of the shoes shouldn’t face the head of the bed. Honestly, I was scared half to death. When I went out at night to get my delivery, I ended up screaming at the sight of the delivery guy! Sorry for the disturbance.]
[Mao Ziyang’s acting is so good. I used to be a hater, but is it still time to become a die-hard fan? She’s just so charming, able to be like a wealthy lady, but also a resentful bride reborn, a girl forced into a dead end by the times. But when she became a ghost, the scenes of her seducing men totally got me hooked.]
[Am I the only one who thinks the male lead is handsome? Director Mu’s taste is as excellent as ever.]
[Finally, the entertainment industry has new stock. Let’s all thank Director Mu!]
[Wuwuwu, I cried from beginning to end. Even though the initial images and music were scary, Chinese horror always hits right in the heart!]
...
Due to the horror film, Mao Ziyang truly became a sensation, extremely popular!
Even her own remarks about busty girls received a wave of praise.
Opinions online about the film varied, but it also sparked more filmmakers to explore the horror genre.
People discovered that the subject matter of this film had great potential, as it not only became a hit domestically but also caught on in surrounding countries.
Even though this movie might not win any awards, there’s no questioning Mu Ran’s abilities.
What’s most important is,
She has another movie set to release on October 1st.
This is a film made in collaboration with the country, completely solidifying her position in the film industry!
Initially, Mu Ran wanted to travel during the summer break, but too many invitations to events led her to plan for winter. Yet in winter, due to the National Day film and many film festivals, she decided to go on vacation in next year’s summer break.
The timing got continuously pushed back.
Another summer break rolled around, and Mu Ran insisted on doing nothing, taking Xiao Yu’an and Chu Xijin to the vast grasslands abroad, to witness the great animal migration!
On the plane, Mu Ran complained to Xiao Yu’an, "Our studio buddies are increasingly treating me like I’m not human, always squeezing me dry."
"Poor thing." Xiao Yu’an tenderly cupped her face, kissed her forehead, and gently placed an eye mask on her, "Get some good sleep."
"Mm."
Mu Ran didn’t want that much work either, but due to many events with anticipated Chinese documentary projects in terms of budget and content pressure, she had to accept certain favors.
It was paving the way for future documentary filming.
It was really tough for her.
On the plane, Xiao Yu’an was also finally able to get some proper sleep. Previously, he had discussed with Mu Dixin about dismantling an underground trading city, but during this process of dismantling the trading city,
Two more individuals emerged.
——Ju Yuezhi!
——Lin Yusong!
One was the girlfriend of one of his good brothers, trapped in love, depressed, unsuccessful, and without inheriting the family fortune, she turned to shortcuts, becoming depraved.
The other was someone Mu Ran had previously supported, and in his bid to get close to her, he drugged her!
Xiao Yu’an was so angry at the time he wanted to kill the man.
Though he didn’t kill him in the end, he destroyed his ability to bear children!
Xiao Yu’an couldn’t comprehend these people, living such good lives, yet engaging in illegal and harmful activities. freēwebnovel.com
Last week was the moment to close the net.
Xiao Yu’an remembered the look Lin Yusong gave him, full of intense jealousy, but later he wanted to see him during questioning at the police station.
Xiao Yu’an met him.
Lin Yusong laughed, "Do you know? I’m sentenced to death!"
Xiao Yu’an responded indifferently, showing no sympathy for such scum, "Mm."
"Once, all I wanted was to be well-fed and warm, but do you know? Because I didn’t have enough money to eat, I became a ’young master.’ Such a high and mighty title, but for me, it’s such an ironic term. You privileged kids born with a silver spoon, how could you possibly understand our feelings? You were born privileged, while I had to fight tooth and nail just for a meal!"
Lin Yusong laughed sarcastically.
"If you truly couldn’t continue your studies, you can give it up. However, in this society, even those without a degree can survive. Your downfall is due to your greed; there’s no need for excuses. Besides, you’re not the only one lacking tuition money. Mu Ran helped many people back then. When they didn’t have enough for living expenses, they took part-time jobs, working two jobs, pausing their studies to work in electronics factories, and even taking student loans. There were many opportunities available, but you chose not to seize them."
Xiao Yu’an felt this society was much better compared to ancient times.
"Do I deserve hardship then? Am I not smarter than those rich second generations? I’m smarter, better looking, and harder working than them, so why can they squander money freely while I have to grovel at their feet!" Lin Yusong roared, his voice hoarse with anger.
The police pulled Lin Yusong away.
Xiao Yu’an sat for a while before standing up to leave.
Perhaps there’s no particular reason why.
Many times, it depends on fate and one’s choices.
He could have lived a relatively comfortable life with his degree and looks, but such a life would also require his relentless effort. He chose a shortcut, yet couldn’t bear the consequences that came with it.
But he crossed a line he shouldn’t have crossed.
He violated the law.
Now he truly has no chance of living the life he dreamed of.
For the fate he met, Xiao Yu’an could only say, serves him right.
"We’re here." Mu Ran called out to Xiao Yu’an, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Xiao Yu’an snapped back to reality, looked at the person beside him, a smile of relief and understanding crossing his face, "Nothing, just wondering how the food is here."
His Mu Ran had been through extensive cyberbullying, the extreme temptations of the wealthy circles, and even assassination attempts, yet she still had such a righteous perspective, truly amazing.
