“Su Yi Huan's First Turn as a Director Creates a Ratings Miracle”
“The Confidence to Refuse a Hit Drama, Genius and Madness Are Only a Line Apart”
“Viewers Say the Special Effects Are Second Only to Avatar, Who Is Su Yi Huan’s Backer?”
“……”
On the night of the first episode's broadcast, entertainment sections across the country were filled with headlines like these.
Clickbait, a concept that was already played out before the internet age, had reached a new level.
Some even said that Liu Yi Fei was a transgender person.
……
……
Speaking of this “Ling'er” sister, let's shift our perspective for a moment.
The next day, near dusk.
As an avid cat lover, Liu Yi Fei was holding an orange tabby cat, waiting patiently in front of the TV.
At the peak of her beauty, it's undeniable that her face was truly stunning.
In fact, the reason why Liu Yi Fei was later targeted by internet trolls was not just because she hadn't put out any new works in nearly 20 years.
Another significant reason was – she had gotten old.
Yes, folks, it's that blunt.
Just as Liu Yi Fei glanced at the time on the wall, checking when the second episode would air,
The door suddenly opened.
Frowning, the “Fairy Sister” pouted and said:
“Mom, why do you always come in without knocking?”
“I gave birth to you, so what's wrong with me entering your room?”
Liu Xiao Li didn't see anything wrong with it at all.
Liu Yi Fei's pout deepened, but she didn't say anything more.
She thought, “Maybe after a few years, my mom will change.”
Tsk, tsk, Su Yi Huan would say, “Don't even talk about a few years, even after decades, your mother-daughter relationship will likely be like this.”
“Here, Mom found a new script for you, this one is bound to be a hit.”
Liu Yi Fei picked up the script, four big characters on the cover –
“Love Announcement.”
Hmm, it didn't seem particularly special.
But when she opened it, the cast list on the first page made her pause.
Director: Wang Li Hong
Starring: Wang Li Hong, Qiao Zhen Yu, Zeng Yi Ke, Xie Na…
Even though it didn't match the outrageous lineup of "The Forbidden Kingdom" where she worked with big brother Cheng and Li Lian Jie,
This cast list was definitely considered “luxurious.”
“How about it, Xi Xi, Mom guarantees this script will be a hit.”
Liu Aunty felt that she had learned enough from the previous flop of "The Forbidden Kingdom."
Unlike Jin Yan Zi's tragic and vengeful role, this lighthearted, ethereal fairy type character.
Wasn't it perfectly suited to her daughter's specialty?
“I got a Pokemon!”
Just as Liu Yi Fei was about to respond,
Zhao Jin Mai's energetic shout and the Pokemon theme song echoed in the room.
“I'll watch this episode first.”
Liu Yi Fei set the script aside and turned her attention back to the TV.
“This child of yours…”
Liu Xiao Li's expression was a bit helpless. She saw Su Yi Huan flash by, playing the role of Professor Oak, and pursed her lips.
It was just a TV series, right?
Didn't she know that movie stars were at the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry?
……
……
The theme song ended, displaying the title of this episode “Team Rocket Appears, A Battle at the Pokemon Center,” before transitioning into the main story.
With the help of Jun Sa, played by Na Za, Xiao Zhi narrowly managed to get Pikachu to the Pokemon Center.
He entrusted the severely injured Pikachu to Joey and Chansey, played by Tong Li Ya.
Upon seeing the two exotic beauties,
Many viewers were immediately captivated.
Beautiful women!
But didn't they seem new? Had Su Yi Huan discovered some unknown talents?
Then, Zhang Zi Feng, playing Xia Xia, appeared pushing her bicycle which had been turned into firewood by Pikachu's electric attack, looking very angry.
Xiao Zhi meekly promised to pay for the damages, but asked Xia Xia to wait until Pikachu recovered before making any demands.
And this girl, who appeared slightly older than Xiao Zhi, was clearly not a person who would make unreasonable demands. She immediately sat down and waited with Xiao Zhi.
Seeing this, viewers who had already guessed some information from the theme song said that the first teammate had officially joined the team.
……
The time in the drama gradually shifted to night.
As they waited, drowsy with anticipation, Joey and Chansey finally wheeled Pikachu, still hooked up to tubes, out, and declared that he was alright.
But right at that moment,
A group of mysterious figures descended from the sky through a hot air balloon shaped like a Meowth, shattering the glass ceiling of the Pokemon Center.
“Who, who are you?!”
Xiao Zhi, fresh out of the starting town, was completely baffled.
“You ask who we are… hehe, since you ask so earnestly,”
The woman on the left, with long hair and heavy makeup, smirked and crossed her arms.
The man beside her, with a middle part and wearing the same “R” uniform as the woman, chimed in:
“We’ll graciously tell you.”
“To protect the world from destruction!”
“To unite all peoples within our nation!”
“To denounce the evils of truth and love!”
“To extend our reach to the stars above!”
Under the bewildered gaze of a larger audience than the previous day, with even more confusion,
The camera suddenly zoomed in on the two of them –
“Musashi!”
“Kojiro!”
The two struck their signature poses, filled with swagger.
“We are the mighty Rocket Team!”
“The White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!”
At this moment, Liu Yi Fei, sitting in front of the TV, couldn't hold back her expression, even ignoring the audience and her “fairy” persona.
But that wasn't the end of it.
A creature that was clearly a Pokemon, shaped like a cat, jumped out.
“That's right! Meow!”
At this moment, at least eight million viewers nationwide, all looked at the screen with the same bewildered face as an old man on the subway.
