Chapter 65
The title song was an ancient instrumental piece that was sometimes passionate, sometimes gentle and slow. There were no lyrics. The main characters were introduced in the form of ink paintings. The opening scene at the beginning was that of Lei Conggui riding a horse over from a distance. There was sand and dust in the sky, creating a desolate scene. He was dressed in lake-blue and there was a dirty veil on her face. His hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of his head. He was clearly a weak Omega, but others felt that he was extremely strong. The bosses and vice presidents who temporarily changed their minds to attend the premiere screening of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ were actually only there to build connections with Second Young Mistress Jun. However, they were unexpectedly attracted by the plot of the movie. The film was two-hour long and it closed with the scene of Cang Yang kneeling in front of Lei Conggui’s tombstone, holding his portrait in his hand. After the screening, there was countless applause.
“I really didn’t expect this movie to be so good!” “Yes, yes, it reminds me of the martial arts films that were prevalent when I was a child. Not bad, not bad.” “Second Young Mistress Jun has got great judgment. This film is great.”
Tian wen looked a little excited as he wiped the tears at the corners of his eyes while watching the film.
Tian wei
This is a superb move. It’ll definitely be a hit and our box office sales will flourish.
Hong Bin
If it doesn’t become a hit, I’ll write my name backwards.
Taemin sat on his seat for a long time before sighing. They felt that it was amazing to see themselves appearing on the screen in such a manner. After going back, the bosses began posting things without waiting for the Jun Family’s orders. “Damn it, why are these big bosses all praising ‘Female Fortress Leader’, this is too fake.” “For the sake of the Jun family, these people wouldn’t dare to give a bad review. I’m a little curious, though.” “It’s a terrible movie. What good stuff can Tian wen come up with? The female lead is played by an unknown background actor. I even detest Hong Bin now.” “That’s right, Hong Bin was probably complacent because of the overwhelming support from his fans. Hong Bin , just you wait for a drop in your fans!”
Taemin and Jun Minjun were sitting side by side on the sofa. When he saw the comments, Jun Minjun abruptly stood up.
Jun Minjun
I’ll get the public relations personnel to deal with this. These are obviously the doing of hired keyboard warriors.
Kwon Taemin
What’s the hurry?
Taemin even said calmly. Jun Minjun looked at him in disbelief.
Jun Minjun
💭That’s rare. Taemin actually let others scold him?
Jun Minjun
But..
Kwon Taemin
Sit down. You’re the Third Young Master of the Jun Family. Why are you so flustered? Bin your decorum.
Jun Minjun
💭You’re talking to me about decorum?
Kwon Taemin
Jun Minjun.
Jun Minjun
Huh?
Kwon Taemin
Play a game with me.
Since he transmigrated to the modern era, Taemin had no other hobbies apart from playing games. Jun Minjun was well aware of what Taemin’s skills were like. Although he seemed tough and invincible, he was terrible at games and would drag his teammates down, causing them to die.
Kwon Taemin
Why? Are you not willing?
Jun Minjun
No, of course not.
Jun Minjun was forced to log into the game. After playing one round, he once again felt that he had been implicated by Taemin. Staring at the pathetic reduction of his points, he was afraid that Taemin would tell him to continue. Fortunately, Taemin logged on to Weverse directly.
It was already 12 midnight now. Tian wen posted a video that was close to five minutes long. In the video, Taemin was molesting Hong Bin like a hooligan.
Jun Minjun
💭Hong Bin , you sissy, how dare you snatch Second Brother’s Omega!? It’s over for you!
As expected, the video was posted and it attracted the following of a large number of fans.
“The leading actor and actress are very good looking.” ”My Hong Bin looks really good as a monk. Hong Bin, become a monk, so that I won’t have to worry about you getting together with a beautiful woman anytime and anywhere.” ”Is Taemin so good at flirting? I can watch this clip of him molesting Hong Bin ten times!” “I’ve decided, after watching ‘Islander’ tomorrow, I’ll go watch ‘Female Fortress Leader’. Only children have to make choices. I’m going to watch both!” At 2.30 p.m. the following day, the premiere of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ officially began. The premiere of ‘Islander’ was just 10 minutes ahead of it.
As Tian wen expected, due to the time clash with ‘Islander’ and the fact that Lei Chan had spent a lot of effort on publicity, almost the entire screening hall of the cinema for ‘Islander’ was full. In contrast, only half of the screening hall for ‘Female Fortress Leader’ was occupied. However, that was already much better than Tian wen expected. At this moment, the main creators of the film were sitting in a teahouse and having some tea.
Xiaofeng
Director Tian, can we really beat the box office sales ‘Islander’? Look at their box-office rate. Rumor also has it that the tickets for the screenings of ‘Islander’ for the next two days have also been snatched up.
As for ‘Female Fortress Leader’, there were still many tickets left for today’s screening, let alone the one for tomorrow. Tian wen also did what Taemin did. Remaining calm, he snacked on some melon seeds while drinking tea.
Tian wei
What’s the hurry? This is only the first scene.
Xiaofeng
Director Tian, you’re the one who’s usually the most anxious.
Tian wei
Stay calm, don’t be impatient, have some confidence in yourself.
Xiaofeng

💭Why does Director Tian seem more like the monk than Hong Bin does?
The hot search topics were all about ‘Islander’. There were a lot of good reviews and they were so exaggeratedly positive that it seemed like bots who left the comments. Tian wen kept refreshing the page and finally, he saw ‘Female Fortress Leader’ when he scrolled to the bottom. The one who posted that post was a female college student. “I agreed to watch ‘Islander’ together with my roommates, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get a ticket, so we had no choice but to resort to watching ‘Female Fortress Leader’. We originally just wanted to kill some time, but in the end, we were completely drawn to the film. It looks very realistic and the special effects don’t look cheap at all. When Lei Conggui died, I bawled my eyes out. I strongly recommend everyone to go watch this flick!” She also attached a picture of Lei Conggui.
In the photo, Lei Conggui was wearing a fiery red wedding dress with a longsword in his hand as he stood in the pile of corpses. There was a large pool of blood on the ground that seemed like it was going to merge with his wedding dress. He was standing there expressionlessly with a full moon above his head, that made him pretty and delicate face nearly translucent.
There were already more than a thousand comments under that post. “This scene is perfect.” “I love the look in his eyes, it’s full of desperation and murderous intent. Taemin has great acting chops!” “I love it, I love it, this is so beautiful. I really like the way he looks.”
Immediately afterwards, many netizens began to share good reviews about the film after watching it. “I’m sold. A bandit couple is really wonderful. Li Jihyo, go away. Hong Bin and Taemin are a true match made in heaven!” “I died, Taemin’s portrayal of a bandit has really killed me. He’s beautiful, valiant, heroic, and cool. He’s a true blue female bandit! I’m questioning my sexual orientation now. I’ve already asked my friends to watch it again with me.” “My Hong Bin has achieved a huge breakthrough in acting. The way he watched Lei Conggui die before him is absolutely perfect!” ‘Female Fortress Leader’ had a tragic ending. Tian wen knew that a romance between a monk and a female bandit was definitely not going to end well.
Lei Conggui’s fortress was wiped out by the government, and all the people in the fortress perished. Lei Conggui killed the soldiers before taking her own life in front of Cang Yang. Many netizens posted the last words that she said before she died. “I am a bandit, but I will never kill those who are kind. I am a bandit, but I always stay true to myself. I’m a bandit, but I’m loyal and righteous. Why can’t you see me? To hell with the Buddhist rules, to hell with not being accepted by the mortal world. I, Lei Conggui, have never been accepted by the world. In the end, you… gave me up for the sake of the perfect life in your heart…”
