Chapter 445: Chapter 446: Chaos Ensues

Qin Siqin’s expression changed slightly, and she glared fiercely at He Jinxia.

He Jinxia, on the other hand, made a face full of panic and took a few steps back, looking at her somewhat fearfully.

The changes in expression between the two were noticed by others in the crew.

Many people in their hearts couldn’t help but think: Qin Siqin was being too much!

As night fell, none of the actors in the crew went anywhere; they all stayed at the Imperial City First Hotel, each in a luxurious VIP room, truly displaying opulence.

Of course, the expenses for carrying assistants were not covered by the crew, but since the First Hotel’s luxurious rooms featured a one-living room two-bedroom structure, Cheng Xiaohua shamelessly took advantage of this and stayed for free.

He Jinxia and she were watching a variety show in the living room. Thinking of something, Cheng Xiaohua said,

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and it’s also the grand finale of ’High Energy Classroom.’ I wonder if ’High Energy Classroom’ can make it into the hot search with its ending."

He Jinxia thought about the finale of ’High Energy Classroom,’ which she had just filmed not long ago. Closing her eyes, it was as if she returned to that scene, her mouth twitching slightly as she carefully said, "Let Brother Luo and Brother Da You be prepared."

Cheng Xiaohua: "Why?"

He Jinxia: "I fear there will be a backlash, a total loss."

Cheng Xiaohua was stunned: "A backlash, lose what?"

He Jinxia helplessly said, "’High Energy Classroom,’ I fear the good reputation might be completely ruined due to this ending. We should prepare in advance to pull ourselves out of the storm tomorrow night."

Cheng Xiaohua initially thought Jinxia was joking, but upon looking closely and seeing that she seemed serious, could not help swallowing her saliva:

"Is it... that serious?"

He Jinxia nodded significantly, her face solemn: "Very serious, it’s definitely right to take it seriously."

The facts proved that He Jinxia’s premonition was extremely accurate.

The next evening, ’High Energy Classroom’ released its finale, and everyone lashed out!

The audience was already dissatisfied with the ’High Energy Classroom’ crew for scheduling the finale as a standalone episode on a Saturday. Logically, ’High Energy Classroom’ should have been aired over the previous weekend in a three-episode marathon to release the finale all at once.

This was the practice for many TV shows; if the timing was just right at the end, and if there was an extra episode, it would be treated as a bonus for the audience to enjoy an extra episode.

But since ’High Energy Classroom’ was a weekly show, everyone knew the difficulties of shooting weekly shows, so they didn’t demand too much, and airing the finale separately was acceptable. But what they had eagerly waited five days for turned out to be a mess!

Heck, they gave it a terrible ending!

What exactly was the file the lawyer handed over in the end? Was it a property transfer certificate, the grandfather’s hacker code, or something else?

Thirty-four students took the college entrance examination, how many of them could get into a university?

They had followed this weekly drama for two whole months, accompanying the students in the show studying for over a hundred days.

A hundred days of eager anticipation, only to be exchanged for such an ending, netizens expressed strong disapproval!

On Weibo, WeChat, QQ, Instagram... in major well-known forums both domestically and internationally, there was towering rage from the fans of ’High Energy.’

[Summon my three-hundred-meter broadsword, capture the scriptwriter of ’High Energy,’ I want to eunuch him!!!]

[Damn it, they actually left me with an unfinished ending, I’d rather they turned it into an eternal cliffhanger rather than watching this mess!]

[Sigh, be content, at least there’s some sort of conclusion, what else did you want? A real cliffhanger would have left you hanging, constantly uncomfortable because it’s always on your mind.]

[It’s so upsetting, too upsetting, I don’t know what happened to Bu Jihui, Yu Sen, Wang Zhao, Yuan Shaoning... Did they all make it to college?]

[Just comfort yourself thinking they did, after all, the theme song of ’High Energy Classroom’ is called ’Let the Dream Fly’. If they didn’t pass, how could the dream take off? Fans of High Energy can only find some sweet bits among the shards of glass to console themselves.]

[Aaaah, no, I still want to kill the director aaaah [crazy scream.jpg]]

Director Zhou’s expectation of overwhelming praise didn’t materialize. While he was still pleased about the last episode of "High Energy Classroom" breaking a rating of 2, the screenwriter had already called him, panicked, saying:

"It’s a mess, a complete mess online, netizens are trashing ’High Energy’ for its unfinished ending, and they’re even threatening to send me razor blades; I’ve been scolded mercilessly, ’High Energy’ is trending for all the wrong reasons!"

Director Zhou was stunned, "What do you mean, scolded, how could that be, the ratings were so good!"

The screenwriter was frustrated by the director’s wooden-headedness.

He patiently explained, "That’s exactly why it’s heartbreaking, everyone was excited and eager to see the last episode, but it fell far short of their expectations. They vented their anger online. You need to contact the PR department right away to handle this. If this continues, your reputation will stink."

"Oh, and remember to explain for me, okay? I didn’t write this ending, you insisted on filming it this way, it’s not my fault, okay, don’t send me razor blades, I’m all alone and very scared, you remember that..."

The screenwriter said a few things, but Director Zhou couldn’t really recall them, except for one phrase—

High Energy Classroom was being trashed!

Director Zhou still couldn’t believe it. After hanging up, he quickly opened Weibo to check, even dismissing other calls.

The official Weibo of "High Energy Classroom" was flooded with criticisms about its unfinished ending. At a glance, the comments were uniformly critical, with the few that spoke positively quickly attacked by the crowd, few dared to speak out.

He opened the trending list, and #HighEnergyClassroomUnfinished was clinging to the fifth spot, with "explosion" added to it, the heat was nearly catching up to the fourth spot; it was about to blow up.

Director Zhou felt dazed—had he really... left it unfinished?

He thought that ending was quite good.

At the same time "High Energy Classroom" was being criticized, the haters not satisfied, also specifically bypassed the firewall to He Jinxia’s main page and diss her there.

[You performed in such a trashy ending, you actually had the nerve to act in it!]

[I’ll boycott any film you act in from now on, too much!]

[Everyone praises your acting, but honestly, I can’t see where your acting is any good, that final scene where you glared was especially awkward, okay?]

...

Luo You had received the news last night and was prepared. Seeing the trolls attacking, he and Zhang Dayou hired a wave of fake passersby, known as the Water Army, to whiten the reputation.

[I’m neither a fan of High Energy nor He Jinxia, just a passerby, but the haters of High Energy are too absurd. He Jinxia is just an actress, it’s up to the director how she should act. Even if she didn’t want to shoot it, if the director insists, doesn’t she still have to do it? It’s not her fault it was unfinished!]

[Apart from the unfinished ending, you all know the quality of this film, not to praise or criticize, He Jinxia’s acting is actually okay, not as unbearable as you say.]

[Please, He Jinxia is just a B-list actress, her fame isn’t big enough for the production team to change the script for her. The script was written by the screenwriter, if you have a problem, go complain to the screenwriter.]
