Episode 10 recap: Key clues in the case of Hua Cheng and Wang Lili.
Manager Wu announced at Wang Lili's memorial service that, in her honor, they would screen all of her previous films. Additionally, a special film would be made to commemorate her. Journalists immediately inquired about the progress of the Wang Lili case from Hu Xiaodie. Manager Wu promptly stated that Hu Xiaodie would be cast in the previously mentioned film dedicated to Wang Lili. If there was anything to be said, he invited everyone to come for interviews at that time.
Manager Wu approached Hu Xiaodie and told her that she should immediately start filming. However, Hu Xiaodie expressed that she had not yet discovered the truth behind the Wang Lili case. She firmly stated that so many people had died, and she wondered how Manager Wu could only think about capitalizing on the situation. Seeing Hu Xiaodie's resolute attitude, Manager Wu immediately suggested terminating the contract and reclaiming the house they were currently living in.
Hu Xiaodie lamented that Wang Lili would feel very sad if she knew that she was being exploited even after her death. Hua Cheng consoled her, expressing that no matter what, he believed she was a kind person. Hu Xiaodie expressed her desire to pay her respects at Wang Lili's home. As they arrived at the doorstep, they saw a group of people claiming to have exclusive information. Hua Cheng remarked that if what these people were saying was true, there must have been more than a hundred people gathered at the house that day.
When Hu Xiaodie spotted roasted sweet potatoes, she immediately ran towards them. At that moment, her mother-in-law informed them that on that day, Wang Lili had gone out with an elderly gentleman and returned in the evening in a white car, accompanied by a young master. Hu Xiaodie inquired about the appearance of the young master, and her mother-in-law indicated that the person was none other than Hua Cheng by her side.
I used to watch it as a light and entertaining drama, but today it really touched me. After a female celebrity's death, the boss only wants to squeeze out her last bit of value, shamelessly devouring the bread of human blood. Onlookers are also spreading rumors and riding on the hype.
When it comes to the passing of life, people are more concerned about what clothes she was wearing when she died and whether it involved scandalous news.
I didn't expect to see the tragedy of women being objectified even in a short drama. Zhao Yue's lines in this episode were particularly relatable, gentle, and helpless.
Among the many melodramatic short dramas, this one stands out with its portrayal of female power and its attention to the fate of women in the context of the era. It's truly a rare and excellent drama.
