Chapter 151: The Difference Between Film and Theater, the Oppressive Sense of an Impending Storm!
If Bai Ling, Lin Yubai, and the others knew the state of the live stream comments, they would likely feel much more at ease. Even though there are plenty of paid trolls in the chat, the vast majority are regular people. That "Our Youth" is a terrible film is effectively set in stone; the public’s disapproval already says enough. It isn’t some high-brow art house film, so why put on airs of profound mystery?

Even while preparing for "unspeakable" acts, he didn't look like a beast driven solely by lust; one could immediately see that he was doing this out of revenge to express his discontent. Wen Yan might not have had acting as polished as Su Chaolin’s, but she was passable.
However, seeing this, Wang Dagang’s brows furrowed tightly. The original film wasn't like this. In the version he directed, the two were already in the heat of the moment, with actual "infidelity" evidence. He had
