“Someone should look into whether Director Ai hates women!”
A trending post in a certain film-discussion group
[Scumbag on screen, virgin in real life]
Ai You, the Chinese-speaking world's most paradoxical genius director:
▷ His coming-out trilogy made critics weep and call it “the gay romance bible.”
▷ His infidelity trilogy was hailed by housewives as “a marriage wake-up call.”
▷ Yet he holds the record for most rejections in entertainment history: 27 in a row!
Shocking! His award-winning films predicted real life:
- In Blue Universe, he actually confessed to the lead actor in a gay bar.
- The suicide scene in Ruan Lingyu became a preview of a certain actress's disappearance.
- After filming Farewell My Concubine, he could no longer look his senior classmate in the eye.
“I'm sorry! You're a great guy!”
“We just aren't right for each other…”
“Right now, I need to focus on my career!”
“We're better off as friends.”
“I'm not good enough for you.”
“I've always thought of you as an older brother…”
“You'll definitely find someone who's a better match!”
This time, Ai You smashed all his awards:
“To hell with forbidden aesthetics! I'm going to have a romance with no retakes!”
