MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 71 Seventy-one days [two
◎【I don't understand, but I was shocked. Is there anyone here who opens a brothel in this kind of place? 】◎
[I don't understand, but I was shocked. Is there anyone here who opens a brothel in this kind of place? 】
[Rich people are not fools, how could they come to such a dilapidated place. 】
[Is the production team too poor? They don't even have a decent building. 】
This "brothel" is too different from everyone's imagination, and voices of doubt soon appeared on the barrage.
But soon, as the plot progressed, everyone realized that their thinking was too simple.
Of course, the truly powerful aristocratic class would not come to this kind of brothel.
Most of the "benefactors" who come here are small stewards, small traders, and even those sweaty laborers who have just finished their work.
Their consumption level is not high, so naturally they won't discuss romance with girls when they come here. Most people pay a few bucks and start to get straight to the point, brutally solving their physical needs.
The environment in the brothel is worse than imagined, and the low-level prostitutes need to pick up customers non-stop. They have no freedom, it is difficult to redeem themselves, and they are very likely to die from sexual diseases.
"Damn, cheap little hooves, you look like you were born to sell, why are you pretending to be a good woman?" At this moment, a sharp voice sounded in the dark room, and the face of the old bustard appeared in the camera.
Her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were shining fiercely, and her eyeballs were slightly protruding, as if she was a devil crawling out of hell.
The woman she hung and whipped was already dying, and fell there half dead, surrounded by blood.
The other women stood in the corner, some watched this scene numbly, and some wept softly in fear.
The heroine is also standing in the crowd.
She is like other women, dressed in shabby clothes, with fear in her eyes
The atmosphere in the whole space was oppressive, except for the cursing of the madam and the whipping of the whip, no one dared to speak.
The hostess was also standing among the women. Like everyone else here, she was wearing worn-out dresses, and her body still had dirt that hadn't been cleaned in time. She didn't have any conspicuous places, but the thick eyelashes drooped, covering the anger and fear in her eyes.
[My God, this kind of brothel is so scary. 】
[Sisters, this is the most real brothel, right? 99% of prostitutes don’t have so-called romance, only endless torture. 】
[The sense of substitution is too strong, and I am already afraid. 】
[I just imagined how to save myself if I fell to that point, and then found that there is no way to save myself...]
The reason for the madam's beating was simple. The new woman couldn't stand the life in the brothel and wanted to escape. It's a pity that she is a penniless woman, alone in a foreign land with no one to rely on, and there is no place for her to stay.
Not long after, she was arrested again, and so the previous scene happened.
After beating the man, the bustard threw away his things and left. This act of killing chickens and monkeys has had a very good effect, and some women have been filled with numbness and fear.
[It's too miserable, being tricked into a brothel, if you want to run away, you can't get out again. 】
[This bustard is really not human, does he have a conscience? 】
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 】
The woman who ran away was dying.
The hostess and her little sister waited for the bustard to leave, then walked over to give each other their food and water, and helped her treat the wound.
"Wash the wound with water, but it must not be hot."
Every prostitute has survived like this. After being beaten severely, they have to succumb to reality.
They are all the lowest level of prostitutes, if they are not willing to help themselves, no one in this world will be willing to rescue them.
Today they are helping others, maybe later, they will need others to help them. If they want to survive in this cruel society, they have no choice.
As the plot unfolded layer by layer, the characters of the girls gradually became fuller.
The first card sold here by her husband is a jealous and selfish woman. But she also has a conscience and a bottom line. Even in the face of a huge threat, she did not betray her sister in the end.
The girl who ran away was called Xiaoxin. She considered herself noble and looked down on the hostess and the prostitutes. But at the same time, she is also affectionate, tenacious and self-reliant, even willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the overall situation.
The little sister next to the heroine is timid and cowardly, but at the critical moment, she dared to stand up against her inner fear.
Each of them has flaws and is not a perfect victim, but they are also human beings.
They should not have been treated like this.
When they saw several sisters helping one of them plan to redeem himself and leave, and finally successfully deceived the old bustard, the audience burst into tears.
【Ahhh, I was scared to death just now, and I was almost discovered by the bustard. 】
[The hostess is really clever. Using this method to confuse the bustard not only allowed the girl to escape from the brothel, but also prevented the bustard from getting the money. 】
【IQ crushing.jpg】
【That girl is really lucky. Her mother found her, and several sisters were willing to help, so she managed to get out of the sea of misery. 】
[I'm dying of laughter, this old bustard's face is so ugly. 】
As the instigator of this incident, the heroine was beaten like never before.
However, she was particularly happy in her heart. Seeing the blue face of the old bustard, she felt that no amount of beating was worth it.
Of course, while helping others, she didn't give up hope herself.
Among them, an older contestant learned poetry and songs from the little sister she had the best relationship with, and even made a simple pipa by herself to practice in secret.
For prostitutes like them, if they want to climb up, this is the only way to go.
Low-level prostitutes have to receive too many customers every day. Under the high-intensity "work", it is difficult for them to live for a long time, and they will meet death if they are not careful.
Only by becoming a high-class prostitute can there be a way out,
But soon, the plot took a sharp turn.
The woman who has the best relationship with the heroine and has been teaching her music theory has contracted a venereal disease.
The medical technology is underdeveloped these days, not to mention that with the character of the old bustard, it is impossible to spend money to hire a doctor to treat someone.
Being infected with this disease means that death is not far away.
The sick woman was originally very popular with customers, and the number of customers received every day was a lot more than other people. Because of this, her food is better than many others, and she can occasionally eat meat.
But now that he is sick, the situation is quite different.
Her treatment plummeted, and not only that, she was forced by the bustard to continue receiving guests.
[Well, if I remember correctly, more than 90% of prostitutes will be infected with STDs. 】
[If you fall into this kind of place, let alone collect the money to redeem yourself, it is not easy to live to be in your thirties. 】
[Most prostitutes die before they reach the age and fading...]
[Those men don't even spare a sick woman, it's disgusting. 】
The hostess thought of many ways for her, and even planned to take out her only savings to find a doctor, but was stopped by the other party.
It is almost impossible to be saved after contracting the disease. This woman knew in her heart that she had no hope.
She said a lot of heartfelt words to the heroine. It was also at this time that everyone knew about this person's life experience.
It turned out that she used to be a first-class prostitute in Tianxiang Pavilion.
[Good guy, she used to be in Tianxiang Pavilion? How could it be reduced to this point. 】
[I guessed it a long time ago, how can an ordinary player know so much, and can teach the heroine poetry and songs. 】
[This plot is unreasonable. In order to get a golden finger for the heroine, a first-class prostitute was forced to be reduced to a low-level brothel. 】
Questions were raised, but the questions were quickly resolved.
This woman, like most first-class prostitutes, had flirted with literati, talked about poetry, and danced elegantly.
It's just that, as she ages and fades, her guests gradually decrease.
Due to the serious exploitation, a large number of prostitutes could not save enough money to redeem themselves. If they want to survive in the brothel and continue to make a living, they have to lower their figures and start receiving customers further.
So just like this, she fell from the first class to the second class, and then from the second class to the third class, and was sold out.
By now, they have completely become the lowest group.
It only takes ten years at most for a prostitute in a high-end brothel to be reduced to the lowest class.
Her experience is not an exception, on the contrary, this is the fate of most high-class prostitutes.
[Absolutely, it's really powerless. 】
[I feel that the rhetoric of redemption is like a bustard making cakes in front of prostitutes. How can you "work" seriously if you don't draw a cake for you. 】
[996 workers are beaten up by the boss every day... tears in my eyes. 】
[Not to mention first-class prostitutes, even if they are oirans, if they are old and frail or seriously ill and can't make money, they will end up miserable. 】
The sick woman is already in her thirties, and the long-term suffering has left her face with wrinkles and scars. It is impossible for her to find a way out for herself.
However, the case of the heroine is different.
She was young, only a teenager. She hoped that in this dead situation, she could fight for a little life for herself.
The sick woman began to think of a way for the hostess, and the few little sisters who had been helped by the hostess before also provided help within their ability.
Finally, the heroine seized a rare opportunity. Relying on her knowledge and talent, she was spotted by a woman and sold herself into a high-end brothel.
The sick woman died that winter.
Since she can't get customers, the madam will naturally not raise a useless person who can't make money. She finally died under the double torment of hunger and disease.
When she met the hostess for the last time, she couldn't eat the food brought by the hostess.
She just held the hostess' hand and told her—
"Live well."
The plot of the first eight episodes is very compact. The heroine teamed up with the sisters to fight against the old bustard. The plot was reversed several times before and after.
Each of them has their own story. Although life is miserable and there are endless bullying and torture every day, when faced with difficulties, the heroine never gave up struggling, let alone resisting.
She has always stuck to the bottom line and has hope.
At the end of the eighth episode, it stayed at the time when the heroine was sold to Tianxiang Pavilion. She is about to face a new crisis.
And the male protagonist, whose role in the early stage was almost zero, finally officially appeared at this time.
[Damn it, I finished watching it in one go, and then found that the plot is stuck in this place! 】
【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 】
[I feel that when the female supporting role helps the heroine, it's like helping another self. Although she is old and decrepit, and can no longer live under the heavy exploitation, she still hopes that the heroine can live for her and get rid of such a miserable fate. 】
【Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow 】
[All acting skills are online! Especially the acting skills of the bustard and the heroine are really amazing. 】
[It's true, I didn't cry when I saw the supporting actress die earlier. Later, in Yao Bianliang's crying scene, I actually cried too. 】
[Please, let the crew add more! I can become a member for you. 】
———
AXA Entertainment.
The new drama collided with Yao Bianliang, so Wen Xuan and others naturally paid close attention to this matter.
After filming an endorsement commercial, Wen Xuan immediately took the time to ask about the marketing situation.
However, when she saw the relevant data report, she couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on? Did you make any mistakes?"
The drama "Spring Warm Revlon" has invested a huge amount of money, whether it is serving Huadao or post-production, it is moving closer to the highest standard.
It stands to reason that according to this posture, the production team must be crazy about marketing.
However, such a rich and powerful production team did not intend to promote it at all, but chose to go online quietly.
That appearance, as if afraid of getting the attention of the public!
Now, "Spring Revlon" has been broadcast, but the broadcast volume is obviously not high.
Due to the lack of publicity in the early stage, their popularity is not even half that of "An Hua Biography".
This was originally something to be happy about, but Wenxuan knew in her heart that the data was not good because the other party did not publicize the results.
Whether to drive low and go low or drive low and go high depends on the follow-up situation.
The agent stood beside her and said silently: "I also hope that I made a mistake. But judging from the current situation, the other crew has not carried out any publicity at all."
Wen Xuan couldn't help but fell silent.
The film crew refused to promote it, so how could they catch each other's attention?
Wasn't the total marketing strategy she arranged earlier all in vain!
Manager: "Sister Wen, from the looks of it now, not only have we not been able to catch the heat of the other party, but we have also been caught up in a lot of heat by the other party."
She said, pointing to the article list of marketing accounts she bought: "These marketing accounts and trolls are equivalent to buying them for each other."
The broadcast volume of "Spring Warm Revlon" was originally less than half of that of "An Hua Biography". But precisely because they made publicity in the early stage, the number of broadcasts of the other party has increased a lot.
Wen Xuan: "..."
When she first made the plan, she thought it would be foolproof.
But who would have thought that the enemy would not play their cards according to the routine!
Don't carry out any marketing promotion, risking the whole show to hit the street, just to take advantage of their poor popularity?
Neuropathy, this is it!
Wen Xuan's lips moved, and she was speechless for a long time. She really didn't understand the other party's brain circuit at all, and she just felt extremely tired.
If she was given another chance to do it all over again, she would definitely not come up with this method. Stealing the chicken is not worth losing the rice, just adding popularity to the other party.
"Oh, forget it..." Wen Xuan sighed inwardly.
Anyway, most of the copywriting of those marketing accounts was pushing Yao Bianliang down. In terms of makeup, costumes, props, and plot characters, they were all stepping down on Yao Bianliang.
Although it gave the other party a wave of enthusiasm, it also consolidated the image of "An Hua Biography" in the minds of the public.
Yao Bianliang's script is destined to hit the street. Therefore, Wen Xuan was not worried that the other party would pose any threat to them.
"How's the current reputation of Yao Bianliang's drama?" She asked while returning the document.
In Wen Xuan's opinion, the plot of "Spring Revlon" is extremely poisonous, and it will definitely arouse the disgust of most audiences.
Although only eight episodes have been aired now, there is no doubt that there must have been several poisonous spots. Wen Xuan reckoned that it was time to start arguing on the Internet.
The manager glanced at Wen Xuan and understood what she was thinking.
He was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Don't think about it, as far as the current situation is concerned, the netizens' evaluation of this drama is very good."
Wen Xuan was stunned, almost thinking she heard it wrong: "What did you say?"
Good reviews, how is this possible!
With such a vicious plot, the audience would save face if they didn't scold others.
Could it be because the news she found was wrong?
Wen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What's going on, could it be that the heroine isn't a prostitute who has been abused by many people, and she hasn't been bullied and tortured all the time?"
The agent sighed: "The points you said are not wrong, but in this drama, these contents cannot constitute poisonous points."
Wen Xuan frowned, with some disbelief in her eyes.
She really couldn't think of how a script with such poisonous points could be accepted by the audience.
The agent sighed: "We got it wrong from beginning to end."
The gaudy and romantic promotional posters of "Spring Warm Revlon" and the story introduction with "love" as the core, made Wen Xuan and others subconsciously think that this is a sadomasochistic romance drama.
But now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
He paused, and finally said slowly: "From the beginning to the end, Yao Bianliang's shooting is not a romantic drama in ancient costumes. On the contrary, what they want to shoot is a real drama with a realistic orientation!"
———
Today, for many people, is a very ordinary day.
But for Yao Bianliang, this is an extremely important day in her life.
If everything goes well today, then in the near future, she will be able to successfully complete the system tasks, get out of the sea of suffering, and start enjoying a new life.
Therefore, half an hour before the broadcast of "Spring Revlon", Yao Bianliang burned incense and took a bath early, reposted several koi, and then sat in front of the computer.
"Please, I hope all the netizens will come over and scold me after watching this drama." Yao Bianliang put his palms together and prayed silently in his heart.
Please don't hold back on a certain rating, give her a head-on blow. It's best to give a score of one point to kill all the bad dramas in seconds!
System: "Host, the lowest score of a certain petal is only 2.1 points."
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Okay, 2.1 is not bad.
In short, the highest is 3 o'clock, and it must not be higher.
The requirement of the system is that the score of a certain petal is less than four points, as long as it can be stabilized within this range, she can end perfectly!
At eight o'clock sharp, Yao Bianliang clicked into the first episode for the first time.
Because the new drama has just launched, there are very few bullet screens and comments. She glanced at it briefly, and found that the bullet screens were full of remarks such as "the broadcast is going well" and "check in for the first episode".
I can't see everyone's attitude.
Yao Bianliang was not in a hurry either. The new drama has just started broadcasting, even if the audience wants to start scolding, they have to wait until after watching one or two episodes, how can it be so fast.
She simply made herself a cup of coffee, and followed up the show with everyone.
As the camera screen moves, the plot gradually begins to advance.
Yao Bianliang watched the heroine he played help the sisters, struggle to survive, and still retain hope and persistence under the oppression of the old bustard.
"Aside from other things, the production level of this show seems to be pretty good," Yao Bianliang couldn't help muttering, "It's like a movie."
Acting and watching dramas are two completely different experiences.
When acting, there is no background music, no director's lens language, and there are countless cameras dangling around. Actors have to take into account their standing, body language, and tone of lines, and there is no way to see the overall situation.
But chasing drama is different.
As an audience, she doesn't need to think too much, she just needs to watch the work with an enjoyment mentality.
Although the plot has already been known, this kind of impactful picture, coupled with the background music that suits the scene, really makes people have a great viewing experience.
What's more, when writing the plot, she only grasped the general direction. I didn't delve into some details, and they were all created by the screenwriter himself.
Therefore, with the development of the plot, Yao Bianliang couldn't help being fascinated.
"I didn't expect that the plot I made up myself was quite touching after it was filmed." Yao Bianliang watched it with relish.
Due to occupational diseases, she likes to pay attention to the actors' acting skills and lines in addition to the plot when watching dramas.
But in this drama, everyone's acting skills are online, and several parties compete with each other. It looks hearty and hearty, and it is easy to bring the audience into the drama.
An episode is not long, and when it reaches the end, it will automatically jump to the next episode.
Yao Bianliang leaned on the back of the chair, sipping his coffee and staring at the picture on the screen.
Her mind was following the plot, she didn't notice these small details at all, and let the computer automatically broadcast it.
One episode after another, when Yao Bianliang came back to his senses, it had already played to the end of the eighth episode.
She glanced at the progress bar before realizing that she had reached the last episode.
"It's over so soon..." Yao Bianliang was a bit dissatisfied.
She thought to herself, she will go to Mo Yougan tomorrow to ask for the complete works.
As the actress of the heroine, it is reasonable for her to use a little bit of privilege to get the resources of the complete series to follow up the drama in advance, right?
System: "...Host, don't you think you forgot something important?"
Hearing the system's voice, Yao Bianliang's thoughts were temporarily separated from the plot.
She slowed down, and then recalled her original purpose.
Oh, by the way, she originally planned to read the audience's evaluation. As a result, I was accidentally taken away by the plot, and started chasing the drama directly.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Wait, something doesn't seem quite right with this development.
Why did she involuntarily start chasing dramas?
In her original imagination, this should be a bad drama full of poisonous points and extremely aggrieved!
Yao Bianliang's eyes fell on the computer screen, at this time, the computer had already started playing the ending song.
Amid the melodious music, the heroine dances a poignant dance, her expression is smiling, but her eyes are empty. The hem of the skirt fluttered and the ribbon fluttered. She looked up at the carved beams and painted buildings above her head, and finally shed tears against the wind.
The picture is beautiful and bleak.
Yao Bianliang was silent.
It seems that no matter from which angle you look at it, this drama does not look like a bad drama...
Not only is it not a bad drama, but its production level is also very high, and the plot is very attractive!
At this time, the night was dark, and the moon hung high above the night.
The cup of coffee is still on the desk. Originally, there was steam above the cup, but after the eight episodes were played, the coffee in the cup was already cold.
And Yao Bianliang's heart...was also cold.
She stared blankly at the computer screen, unwilling to believe this fact.
This is unscientific, how could the plot of a good and bad drama turn into what it is now?
"Where did this go wrong!"
