I’ve had a catastrophic effect. To be honest, I seem to have lost the ability to judge whether it is good or bad.
I’ve been busy with the two episodes of February 29th and 940920 for four years, and today I’m really hurting, and I feel sorry for the behind-the-scenes team and actors. I hope that 940920 will fill my regret for February 29, how do I know that it has brought more regrets. But this article is not to admit defeat, I will try harder, thank you friends for your concern, thank the audience who have always supported us, I hope I can bring you a better experience in the next episode. “
