#this is senseless

General Pool

Duan Tianying is called a naive little girl. Drink twice if she is introduced to a thing she has never seen before

Luo Fusheng goes into murderous rage 

Duan Tianci has a BIG REACTION

Hong Lan is hitting things. Or people. Or the bottle. 

Yuanyuan delivers an ace pick-up line (because this girl may look like an innocent flower but she is an absolute fox)

Homoerotic undertones

Stalking as an act of love

Music is performed on screen. It is definitely not the music track that is mixed into the scene.

Characters consuming mysterious bright yellow liquid that is definitely neither whiskey nor baijiu, as illustrated below

The Swarm of adoring screaming fangirls surrounding any of the boys 

Exotic western things. Drink twice for exotic western people (I get that it’s a period thing, but it’s very charming)

The Pool of Anachronisms 

LED lights

Nine inch stiletto heels 

Double denim

That’s Not Bakelite (this includes colourful cocktail straws, disposable plastic forks and other bits of contemporary plastic paraphernalia)

Are you sure balloons is what you want in this scene?

A character says “Okay” in English 

God Mode Pool

Only do this once per episode. If you are feeling brave maybe pick one or two of those to do every time. Don’t come at me when you have alcohol poisoning by drinking every time each of those things happen. 

“What the hell are they wearing?”

Dramatic zoom

Slow motion. Drinks twice for slow motion in flashback montage sequences. Drink thrice if the slow motion shots are made with footage recorded at 24 FPS and then slowed down

Inner monologue spoken out loud

All the parents are terrible

A man ignores Tianying’s explicit wishes 

I Have a Green Screen And I’m Not Afraid To Use It
