Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 370 The Number One Enemy of Immortal Fans—Liu Rijing
Old Hu, take two steps to the side, let's not stand so close.

You brought Bai Bing to the movies, and you brought me along, just so you could shift the blame onto me if you got caught.

It's a banned film, and they blame the relevant departments for censorship.

The relevant departments have been lenient enough in their review process, and many scenes have been openly displayed, only slightly toned down.

The submitted video should be 110 minutes long.

When this scene was being filmed, Lao Hu was on set, so he knew what was being filmed.

In 2036, during the sweltering summer, a summer festival is being held in a city in an island nation.

Several dazzling fireworks soared into the sky, turning night into day.

The subtitle states that these fireworks do not contain any dangerous ingredients and comply with international conventions.

Then another subtitle appears: This year, Beijing was very hot. From then on, East Asia was at peace.

Liu Jing knew, of course, that the review wouldn't pass; that wouldn't be giving the green light, it would be taking advantage of a favorable wind.

As filming neared its end, many actors were in low spirits, and the atmosphere on set was very oppressive, including that of the director.

Assistant director Shen Ao suggested that since there was still some budget left and some props that had been made in advance, why not shoot a post-credits scene?

Liu Jing said, "Since you have an idea, you can film the Easter egg. Go ahead and film it; I'll cover for you."

So the actors playing Japanese soldiers became the targets of bullying, and everyone had a great time filming, with everyone in high spirits.

Shen Ao had an even bolder idea: he had the special effects team create some mushroom effects and asked the director to cover for him.

Liu Jing asked Shen Ao, "Do you think it will pass censorship? I can't guarantee it."

Shen Ao chuckled, "It doesn't matter. Everyone's already out of character, aren't they?"
The film definitely won't be released; everyone knows that, but we've all moved on from the characters. Especially the lead actress, Gao Yuanyuan, who broke down several times during filming. If the director hadn't constantly offered her comfort and support, giving her an outlet for her emotions, she might have genuinely become depressed.

Hugo knew these things, but there were other things happening behind the scenes that he was unaware of.

During the final editing, some professors at the Beijing Film Academy, with their mischievous sense of humor, edited that segment in.

As for who has such a perverse sense of humor, it is naturally Director Tian, ​​a director who enjoys making banned films.

Liu Jing's face darkened. The name Liu Rijing had little to do with the romance between the two; it was purely because of the novel "Under the City Wall."

A netizen posted online about the top ten things to see under the city wall, which was widely shared and generated some buzz and positive reviews.

The power of music is evident in the opening piece, "Hou Ting Hua," which depicts the prosperity of a post-apocalyptic world. The middle piece, "Man Jiang Hong," reflects a tragic resistance. The old version of "Jasmine Flower" brings hope for life, while the new version represents the continuation of peace.

From an artist who upheld his family business, to a father who witnessed atrocities, then a warrior who risked his life to pass on evidence of crimes, and finally a fighter who resisted with "Man Jiang Hong," Zhou Huaiping's transformation and integrity represent many people.

The story begins with the tranquility of a teahouse and the passing down of craftsmanship, and ends with the solemnity of a memorial hall and the sound of songs of peace. These two contrasting elements create a powerful and profound impact. The buried family genealogy and musical notation ultimately become exhibits in the memorial hall, completing the formal preservation of cultural memory.

There's also Su Rou's transformation, the symbolism and metaphors of various objects, Xiao Ting's experiences in the cellar...

The final line reads, "The city walls are gone, the autumn cicadas are gone, the winter snow is gone, the spring thunder is gone, and the summer sun? It is gone too."

One reply went viral: "Summer has no sun, but Liu Jing has sun. Tokyo isn't hot, but Liu Jing is very hot."

From then on, the nickname "Liu Rijing" spread like wildfire, reaching across the entire internet within three days.

Liu Jing would rather be jokingly called Liu Jing by Qianqian and Jingtian than be called Liu Rijing.

Liu Jing grew angrier and angrier, and slapped Hu Ge on the shoulder. Old Hu stumbled, and his hat fell to the ground.

A sharp-eyed spectator pointed at Hu Ge and shouted, "Hu Ge, it's you, Hu Ge! Everyone, look, it's the real Hu Ge!"

With a shout of "Hu Ge," everyone's eyes turned to him.

It really is Hu Ge, he's still breathing.

How could he be out of breath? His frail body couldn't withstand Liu Jing's strength. Liu Jing's skills were impressive, but Lao Hu was no less so in private. Liu Jing had a cheat code, but Lao Hu didn't.

The TV series "Chinese Paladin 1" made Tangren famous, and it also made many other people famous. The one who benefited the most was not Liu Yifei, but Hu Ge.

Liu Yifei has at least acted in "The Story of a Noble Family" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and her roles as Bai Xiuzhu and Wang Yuyan have made her quite famous.

Hu Ge, a complete newcomer, became an instant sensation, and his portrayal of Li Xiaoyao became a hit across China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

The first season of "Chinese Paladin" aired on satellite TV earlier this year, which made him even more popular.

With the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the middle of the year, Hu Ge's fame soared, and Liu Shishi's portrayal of Mu Nianci also broke out of the public eye, finally giving her a role she could be proud of.

However, compared to Liu Jing, Hu Ge is far less famous and has a much lower status; they are no longer on the same level.

Hu Ge is still striving to become one of the top four young male stars, while Liu Jing is already one of the most box office draw actors, and now he has even broken out of the acting circle.

Old Hu picked up his hat, dusted off non-existent dust, smiled brightly, and waved to everyone, "Hi, good evening, everyone..."

"Hey! Liu Jing..."

Liu Jingli was surrounded by layers upon layers of people, but because Hu Ge was discovered, he was also discovered.

Hugo was discovered solely because of that slap he received.

So the two were surrounded by layers of people at the entrance of the mall.

Bai Bing wiped away a cold sweat. Luckily, she was five or six steps away, and luckily, she wasn't famous.

"Liu Jing, jasmine is featured throughout, does it have some kind of meaning?" someone shouted.

Liu Jing was somewhat surprised that the first question wasn't about scenery and romance, but about movies.

He readily answered, “It symbolizes purity, resilience, maternal love, hope, and peace.”

His answer completely shocked everyone. He actually answered, and with such a good attitude! Wasn't Liu Jing known for hitting people? He had just slapped Hu Ge.

The audience was very excited, and someone asked, "Liu Jing, did the song 'Jasmine Flower' already exist back then?"

"The tune of 'Jasmine Flower' is actually called 'Fresh Flower Tune,' and it existed as early as the Qianlong era. It's a folk song from the Jiangnan region. In the early 20th century, the tune was used by the Italian composer Puccini in his opera 'Turandot.' During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Teacher He Fang collected and arranged 'Fresh Flower Tune,' adapting it into a version sung in the northern Jiangsu dialect called 'Jasmine Flower,' which is the basis of our new version," Liu Jing patiently explained. He's very patient as long as you don't ask about Feng Jinglian and his scandals.

"Then why did you choose the song 'Jasmine Flower'?" a girl asked.

"At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Sisi and I went to the venue and were deeply impressed by this song. 'Jasmine Flower' is widely circulated in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area and is very representative."

"Liu Jing, does the gongche notation have any symbolic meaning?"

Old Hu stood to the side, touching his nose. Weren't they all quite excited about me just now? Why are they acting like I don't exist now?

"Haha, didn't some netizens already answer that? Gongche notation represents the roots of cultural heritage. Being buried and then rediscovered symbolizes the immortality of culture." Liu Jing laughed heartily. He felt quite satisfied and gratified that his work was appreciated, studied, and discussed.

"Liu Jing, Xia Ri Wu Ri, do you mean you want to wipe out the Japanese devils?" a girl shouted.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just an audience member today." Liu Jing's smile faded. With so many people recording, I dared not say a word out of turn.

"Dear viewer, Director Liu Jing is considered public enemy number one by his fans and is called Liu Rijing by netizens. What are your thoughts on this?"

"..." Audience, what do you think? I want to kill you.

"Mr. Liu Jing, what kind of role do you think I'm suitable for?"

"..." You're so ugly, you're not suitable to come out.

"Liu Jing, are you and Hu Ge best buddies?"

...You fucking bastard.

Liu Jing was in no mood to answer, so he gave a perfunctory reply. Then, abandoning Hu Ge, he made several turns and broke through the encirclement, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Hu Ge was dumbfounded. Why couldn't they leave together? He shouted, "Wait for me!" but unlike Liu Jing, he wasn't slippery enough and was surrounded. This time, all the questions were directed at him, and quite a few girls took the opportunity to grope him. By the time he managed to escape in a disheveled state, he had almost lost not only his hat but also his underwear.

"Shit! Liu Rijing, if I go to the movies with you again, I'm no longer surnamed Hu." Old Hu cursed, and there was no trace of Liu Jing. Only a text message on his phone said "See you in the parking lot."

"Boss, isn't this a bit unfair?" Bai Bing, without blushing or panting, jogged along, managing to keep up with her boss's pace.

She was also puzzled; when did she become so physically fit?
Her workload is heavy; she works whether her eyes are open or closed. She replies to emails with a face mask on, answers messages while cooking instant noodles, and listens to PowerPoint presentations while showering—these are all basic operations for her.

Recently, while filming "The Myth", I was actually the most relaxed. As soon as we finished filming, all sorts of things started to happen.

So busy is she that she has no time to exercise. When she does practice yoga, she does so while watching study materials.

My physical strength seems to have improved since this morning.

My relative left the day before yesterday. The night before last, the boss followed the rules and punished her in various ways last night, taking back all the money she had overstepped her bounds with interest.

She drifted off to sleep, and when she woke up, the sun was high in the sky, and she was all alone in bed.

She stretched, making a crackling sound, and suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful, and that she was full of energy.

"What's so unfair about it? We were waiting for him in the car; he knows where we are." Liu Jing said, somewhat annoyed. "Without him, would I have become the number one enemy of all the fans?"

"Hehe..." The assistant just chuckled, completely disagreeing. Your becoming the public enemy of Xian fans has absolutely nothing to do with Lao Hu.

As the romance between Liu Jing and Feng Jing became a reality, Liu Jing gained a lot, including the infamy of embezzlement, the reputation of being a child husband, and the title of the number one enemy of the fans.

Because of the exposure of their relationship, some of their fans became indifferent.

Because of one of Sisi's blog posts, more casual fans became her devoted fans.

Many of the fans who were still holding on have calmed down, but their complaints about Liu Jing have not lessened at all, feeling that he is exploiting Liu Yifei.

Xianju was completely shut down, and the blame fell squarely on Liu Jing's head—the kind of blame that's impossible to explain. What is Liu Jing supposed to do now that Sister Li did this? He has no choice but to take the fall.

This gave him an idea: I can also make others take the blame for me.

Some fans declared that while wishing Liu Yifei well, they also cursed Liu Jing to eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet.

Some fans said that the romance between Feng Jing and Liu Jing could be forgiven, but Liu Jing would never be forgiven.

Some fans believe that no matter what, it doesn't change the fact that Liu Jing embezzled public funds.

……

In an instant, Liu Jing became the number one enemy of all the fans of the novel, the kind of enemy that all the fans agreed on.

This fact was exposed by Lao Hu. When someone asked him for his opinion on the "scenery love" relationship, he said it was normal.

People then asked him whether he was closer to Liu Jing or Liu Yifei.
Old Hu said, "Don't get me into trouble. I don't want to become the second public enemy of the fans."

Who is the number one enemy? Fans unanimously pointed the finger at Liu Jing.

"Will today's box office break 100 million?" Liu Jing pulled his hat brim down low and his mask up.

If it weren't nighttime, I would definitely be wearing sunglasses.

Liu Rijing's popularity stems from the love people have for "Under the City Wall," which has had a significant positive impact. However, being a public enemy among fans of the series has had a considerable effect on him. It's one thing for paparazzi to be stalking him, but there are also extreme fans of the series.

There are also those with ulterior motives, and those are the real troublemakers.

"Definitely not. It's hard to say tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow should be fine," Bai Bing said regretfully.

Five days after its release, "Under the City Wall" performed far worse than "Painted Skin." The boycott has become largely ineffective and has had little impact on box office revenue. The main issue is the subject matter; many viewers don't want to watch such a heavy film.

The premiere was on a Sunday, the best day ever. However, due to the boycott, the box office only reached a little over 1400 million.

The box office reached over 1300 million yuan on the second day, and word-of-mouth improved, especially with the film "Summer Without Sunshine," which drew many people to the cinema.

The box office reached 1800 million on the third day and 2000 million on the fourth day, totaling over 6600 million in four days, which is already a very good result.

"This film should be a contender for awards, keep an eye out for it," Liu Jing advised.

Bai Bing nodded. "Boss, you know what, Duan Yihong actually looks quite convincing when he's dressed up like that."

"Duan Yihong has good acting skills, he's unconventional, and he can convincingly portray any role," Liu Jing praised.

"What about Director Gao? I felt she performed quite well this time; I could even read her expressions." Bai Bing had never taken acting classes, only cramming for a while because of "The Myth." From her non-professional perspective, she felt that Gao Yuanyuan wasn't as much of a pretty face as rumored.

"She broke down emotionally several times while filming this movie," Liu Jing sighed.

"I heard that Shen Ao hasn't recovered in six months, and there are even rumors at your school that he broke up with his girlfriend."

“Yuanyuan hasn’t gotten over it yet. She doesn’t want to act with me anymore. It’s left a shadow on her,” Liu Jing sighed.

"How could she not be traumatized? Such a beautiful vase, and you used it like a gas cylinder, you have no sense of chivalry at all. During that time, she even told me that you were more... cautious... cautious than the Japanese devils..." Bai Bing looked at her hands, her face full of disbelief.

She was chatting with her boss when, as they approached the car, a man dressed similarly to her boss crept up furtively. Upon reaching them, he made no attempt to avoid them, continuing forward and even accelerating.

Bai Bing kept saying "be careful," but her body moved faster than her words. She took two steps forward, pushed the man away, and sent him flying several steps to the ground.

"When did I become so quick and strong?" Bai Bing asked herself silently, clenching and unclenching her fists several times in a row, filled with curiosity.

She had only felt a moment of surprise when she followed the boss, but quickly forgot about it.

She discovered a long time ago that being shameless with her boss would leave her exhausted that night, but she would be full of energy the next morning, as if she had been recharged.

But that condition doesn't last long; it usually dissipates by noon.

"Your hand is injured?" Liu Jing grabbed his assistant's wrist and examined it.

"I'm fine, it's just..." The assistant quickly pulled away, with people watching nearby. They were in the eye of the storm; if they were caught on camera, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.

At this time, anyone who gets involved in a new scandal with the boss would definitely be putting Liu Yifei in a bad light.

"Brother, sister-in-law, shouldn't you take a look at me? I'm the victim here." The uninvited guest said resentfully.

"Old Wu, if I were you, I'd disappear right now and avoid getting beaten up." Liu Jing said bluntly.

The person in front of me is Mr. Wu, the boss of Orange Sky, the Japanese white glove, and the chairman of the board of directors of Orange Beauty. He was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and even though it was late at night, he was wearing glasses, thankfully not sunglasses.

You can't go without glasses, because they're nearsighted.

Old Wu fell to the ground, his glasses and hat fell off, and only then did Bai Bing realize who the other person was.

Liu Jing knew who it was as soon as Lao Wu walked towards him.

He had exchanged many words with Lao Wu, and Lao Wu had very distinctive features. Even when heavily armed in three layers of clothing, he couldn't escape Lao Wu's gaze.

As he was pondering the other party's intentions, the assistant, eager to protect his master, pushed Old Wu to the ground.

The assistant's improved health was thanks to him, of course.

"You don't want to be discovered, do you? Come to my car." Old Wu patted his butt and rubbed his chest; this young woman really had a strong grip.

"Get in my car." Liu Jing certainly didn't want to be discovered.

Old Wu didn't want to be discovered. If the capital behind him found out, they would cut off his funding tomorrow.

He had just seen Liu Jing and was worried that greeting him would give him away, so he wanted to get closer to talk to her. He was so focused on Liu Jing that he ignored the young woman beside him.

Liu Jing snorted lightly. Old Wu was really well-prepared; he even knew what kind of car they drove.
