The Grand Finale was Enjoyable
Zhao Youyue did not expect this “Lin Jianzhong” to film the ridiculous plot that she created in the “Two Dimensional Gate” in its raw, mad entirety, how reckless can he be?
How did the crew even agree to this?
The “Two Dimensional Gate” was indeed incredible, whenever the author wants to turn his inspiration into reality, others who helped would also be in on it with all of their hearts.
Of course, Zhao Youyue did not know that the studio has canceled the series. Enraged, the director had decided to film the whole script, the script that he wrote when he was as inspired as he was drunk, so that it would make it to the news!
Since the war film I created was ‘boring’ and those blasted viewers never once gave it a good rating, screw it all, I’ll just go loco here these were the thoughts of the director.
After Zhao Jiayi snapped out of his shock, he complained, “What is this director on? He created something so ridiculous, this must be some kind of joke, this is an insult to all war films! How blasphemous…”
“Well, such things exist! I don’t mind it at all, I find it rather quite interesting. Even though I’ve never seen the previous episodes, but now even I feel like watching the past episodes to understand the plot better. War films these days are too solemn and serious…” w.a.n.g Hua refuted her husband.
“What? Too solemn and serious? Blood is spilled in wars, it’s not like you expect everyone to sing along at campfires!”
“Oh, that will still be boring.”
“You…”
“Let’s just continue watching, shall we?” Zhao Youyue piped up, she certainly did not want to see her mom and dad quarrel again.
“That reminds me, Youyou. You knew that this director was going to do something, didn’t you?” Zhao Jiayi felt suspicious.
“Mmhmm, but I never expected that he would do something like this, this war film is certainly mystical.” Zhao Youyue chuckled.
Zhao Jiayi did not bother probing any further. She probably had her sources, or knew an extra in the cast.
Zhao Jiayi knew that his daughter was good at socializing with other people, even though she was just ordinary in every aspect. She could blend in very well, and people would easily connect to her, and would easily pull her into their circles.
Zhao Jiayi knew his daughter like the back of his hand. Now that Zhao Youyue had blended into the field of network literature and manga, she has become a famous reader. She would receive numerous invitations to fan gatherings of well-known authors, but unfortunately, she did not have much free time, as she was still attending high school.
As time pa.s.sed, false rumors had begun spreading, saying that tyc.o.o.n “Youyue” was actually a guy, or she was ugly, and thus will never show herself in public.
Those who spread the rumors were the ones who had never seen the photos of Su Li and Zhao Youyue that were shared in the author’s group before. Sadly those photos would be removed from the chat servers after some time.
Zhao Youyue did not have the energy to entertain these rumors because they were not on the same level as her, they should at least know the basic information of tyc.o.o.n “Youyue” by now.
Zhao Youyue was considered an experienced reader in Qidian, because she was more involved in the field of authors, compared to amateur readers and authors. She also knew how Qidian operated, and knew how to pick out a good book from the extensive list of t.i.tles.
Basically, books that were on the top twenty can be omitted, because eighty percent of them were fixed by people, the High G.o.ds who had no “G.o.dly expertise” would need the fabricated clicks of their minions to retain their ranking.
Those High G.o.ds who had “G.o.dly expertise” would need no one to fabricate their statistics. What is this G.o.dly expertise? Readers would recognize the author, where after reading one of their books, they would want to read their other books. When they start reading a new book from the same author, they would start off by tipping a Sect Master to encourage the author. Such was an author with “G.o.dly expertise”.
For those who manipulated their book ranking, they did not do it every month because they certainly did not want their dark secrets to be exposed, and it would go on like this in an endless cycle. To them, it was just like using the resources that gained from a war in order to continue the war.
Long story short, those experienced readers in Qidian knew that the ranking board could not be trusted. The ranking board would be a battlefield of the “rich players”, and some people would spend most of their money to emulate the impression of a High G.o.d. Of course, they would not gain any profit from it, but they certainly enjoyed its process. While some people would only spend part of their money to gain more popularity or exposure, in order to achieve a balanced income…
Under these circ.u.mstances, Zhao Youyue, who had a significantly influential booklist would ultimately be the big winner!
Because the ranking boards could not be trusted, many readers can no longer find books that they liked. Over time, experienced readers would start looking for books from privately recommended booklists, while amateur readers would still be looking on the ranking boards, searching for the book they all wanted to read. They would not know that higher rankings did not always mean higher quality. Those rankings were a farce.
Zhao Youyue would never recommend a book as a favor for a friend, she insisted that she only adds in her favorite books to her booklist, and this had made her booklist even more popular.
Zhao Youyue’s family was still watching the G.o.dly film at the moment. Zhao Jiayi disliked the odd director at first, but now he was totally watching the film with relis.h.!.+
What exactly did he see?
Of course, it was a magnificent scene, the type that he loved watching the most!
He would often fantasize Chinese soldiers using modern weaponry to gun down the Western white-skinned boars who dressed themselves up in fur and wielded crude spears!
w.a.n.g Hua was transfixed by the acting abilities of the little girl who was acting as “Tan Xiaoya”, just how old was she? If she really was just five years old, with those spectacular acting skills, she had a bright future ahead of her!
The final two episodes of “War Heroes” was absolutely amazing, it would be even better for people who have watched the previous episodes. The previous contents were an endless tirade of the main protagonist enduring humiliation after humiliation and sufferings at the hands of various vile villains. Now, the final two episodes glorified the exploits of the Heroic Spirit who possessed “Tan Xiaoya”, beating up the villains and annihilating a whole country single-handedly. What ridiculous madness!
The plot was stupid, because there was no way a Heroic Spirit would appear in reality. Even though the plot was illogical, the audience wouldn’t give two hoots about it. Those abilities that Tan Xiaoya used had really awesome visual effects, some people might even consider this a science fiction blockbuster movie!
Zhao Jiayi highly respected logic and realism, but the stunning visual effects in this film had totally subdued him.
This television drama’s grand finale was unexpectedly amazing!
w.a.n.g Hua thought that the character “Tan Xiaoya” was fascinating. A little girl becoming a soldier via supernatural means and taking her place among the b.l.o.o.d.y, violent territory of soldiers!
Second only to Tan Xiaoya was most certainly the main protagonist Liu Xing and the antagonist Liang Feifan, and the showdown between the two of them. When Liu Xing shouted, “Eat this sh*t, Liang Feifan!”, it only made the scene more comical, right before the idiotic superior Liang Feifan was blown up by Tan Xiaoya…
The Italian artillery that was summoned by Tan Xiaoya at the final moment had terrifying destructive power, this left the three of them watching in awe. The director certainly had to be on something! This was the first time where the capital of Russia and the Empress Catherine was blown to smithereens by an Italian artillery on public television!
It had much more details compared to Zhao Youyue’s “dream”, it carried far more impact! Zhao Youyue has certainly messed things up, big time!
“Why must it be Italian artillery, our country’s artillery was one of the best during the world war, that Italian artillery was nothing!” The military buff, Zhao Jiayi grumbled.
“Dad, don’t you think that the name Italian Artillery sounds awesome? Maybe that brave soul ‘Li Yunlong’ came from another timeline to possess ‘Tan Xiaoya’?” Zhao Youyue replied.
“Tch… What’s the name of this director, nothing can impress me, but he managed to do it. He has created a new wave of war films!” Zhao Jiayi exclaimed.
“The director’s name is Lin Jianzhong, but I think that such a satirical finale will only raise some fuss for a short time, people will forget move on.” Zhao Youyue said, feeling a little sorry for it.
Even if people manage to remember “Tan Xiaoya”, Zhao Youyue would never inherit the abilities of “Tan Xiaoya”. As “War Heroes” took place in a universe as realistic as reality can be, she can only obtain a watered down form of that ability that was close to reality. If she did not create the Heroic Spirit “Li Yunlong”, instead of creating the real life Li Yunlong who was as much flesh and blood as anyone else, then she might be able to use that “Li Yunlong card” right now, inheriting the spirit of patriotism from Li Yunlong.
After the three of them finished watching “War Heroes”, they were left wanting for more, because watching that little girl Tan Xiaoya’s magnificent explosives raining down on the Russian army alone was indeed enjoyable. That little actress was stellar!
“Would this have a sequel?” w.a.n.g Hua could not help but ask.
“It would be impossible to have a continuation after this, the director probably did this on purpose because he knew that it was going to end…” Zhao Jiayi said the truth harshly.
“Sigh, this was actually the first time I ever enjoyed a war film, I wanted to see a film with “Tan Xiaoya” as the main protagonist. Let this little girl continue her career as an actress. Her acting skills were top notch, I felt that she became the real ‘Li Yunlong’ in that film.”
“This is nothing like a war film! But it was indeed interesting, those actors were on steroids in the grand finale…” Zhao Jiayi the critic said.
“Tan Xiaoya would be completely at home in a world with supernatural powers. Maybe I should find an author to write something up, let’s call it “Rumble of Little Girls”?” Zhao Youyue smiled.
“That was a fine idea! If little sloth manages to find someone to write it, I would get someone to make it a movie!” w.a.n.g Hua said it happily.
w.a.n.g Hua now wanted to watch a war film that starred little girls, the irony was priceless!
At the same time, several netizens who frequented the Youku video network, started watching the grand finale of “War Heroes”…
