The plot was of him helping a young couple that was about to get married. They were arguing over buying a house and a car, and there was also a particularly unreasonable seller.
In order for this young couple to have less debt and so that they could continue pursuing their dreams, Shu Jie gave them all his savings. Unfortunately, it wasnât enough.
After repeated persuasion and mediation by Shu Jie, the unreasonable seller was finally willing to make some concessions, but there was still some balance left to be paid.
At that moment, a passer-by heard everything and generously resolved the conflict.
It was a peaceful ending. Everyoneâs faces brimmed with happiness. It was wonderful!
After the performance ended, it was time for the directorsâ comments.
The usually quiet Qi Yan was the first to raise her hand.
The host, Xu Xuan, naturally hurried to say, âDirector Qi, please.â
Then, Qi Yan said, âI think this work is very unreasonable. First of all, letâs not talk about whether or not thereâs a person like Shu Jie in real life. The appearance of the passer-by at the end is like a deus ex machina! This is anathema in drama scripts!
âWith a protagonist who experiences countless difficulties, viewers want to see how he solves all his problems through his own efforts. In the end, such a powerful figure suddenly appears and solves all the problems for the protagonist without a word. Viewers may be dumbfounded and even angry at this!
âWhy didnât he rely on himself?
âWhy did this person suddenly show up out of nowhere?
âIs it because the screenwriter was lazy and unable to find a solution?
âAs for the previous performancesâ¦â
Qi Yan rattled off a bunch of absolutely incendiary things.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
She, a mere newbie director, actually dared to insult Chen Wenyu?
Chen Wenyu!
He was the only person in China who had ever won the Palme dâOr directorâs award!
However, after some thought, many people, or even most people, agreed with her.
The comments were already rolling by in the live stream â
[To be honest, although my opinion of Qi Yan dropped a little because of what happened yesterday, I have to say that her evaluation is very reasonable! The main character is bustling around, but someone suddenly comes along to resolve the conflict; it feels like it was all for nothing. Itâs especially boring.]
[Thatâs right, thatâs right, I think so too! Why doesnât the protagonist solve the problem with his own capability? If he relies on a deus ex machina, which is also a golden finger, can he still be considered the protagonist? Itâs fine if itâs fantasy or an online novel, but this is a production about real life!]
[Thatâs right. Also, this protagonist is too good to be true! Personally, I think Shu Jie is a fool. Why are you giving up so much for someone else? Who knows, people might laugh at you behind your back. I really canât stand it!!]
One after another, the online users became even more enthusiastic. They felt like Qi Yan had spoken their minds!
On the other side, Director Chen, the director of this production, listened attentively the entire time. Now, he just smiled slightly and didnât even look at Qi Yan.
Or, was he looking down on Qi Yan?
As the host, Xu Xuan said weakly, âThen, Director Qi has already shared her thoughts. Director Chen, do you want to explain the original intention behind your production?â
