#A city, a glass of wine, half a lifetime of wandering, seeing all the flowers. #
In the poster, Hu Ge is walking alone on the busy city streets, as if he has traveled through time and space into a world of light and shadow blooming with flowers in full bloom.

From his exquisite hairstyle to his impeccable clothing combination, to his deep eyes and charming smile, Hu Geshuai's perfection meets the expectations of netizens.

Just one poster can make people see the extraordinary texture.

All of a sudden, many netizens rushed into the comment section and started commenting.

"Pepper is reporting that the TV series is Lao Hu's ruling area. Looking forward to Hu Ge and A Bao!"

"Wow, just looking at the poster makes me want to see it, so handsome, Mr. Bao!"

"Huanghe Road is a street. Ask around to see who the father is!"

"Forget about the other stuff, who the hell is this Wang Churan? How did he get the lead role?"

"And this Xin Zhilei, she's also an unknown actress, why is she acting with Lao Hu, it's so awkward."

"Speaking of which, this Wang Churan is not from Nanjing University, right? Where was he a few days ago at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

"I originally thought it would be Tangtang, how could it be this Wang Churan, really!"

"Wang Churan is not good enough. Apart from the cousin of the general, he has no other performance experience. How can he compare with Tangtang?"

"You worry too much. Trust Wang Mojing's training ability. How do you think he got his reputation?"

"So, is this Wang Churan admitted because of Nanjing University? What is her relationship with Nanjing University?"

……

The comment section was abuzz with discussion, with the most discussed topic being that Wang Churan had actually defeated the favorite Tang Yan to become one of the three female protagonists, causing many netizens to wonder whether Lin Li had played a role in this.

After all, someone took a photo of Lin Li having dinner with Wang Jiawei and others the day before going to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Wang Churan seemed to be there as well.

In the cafeteria of Shanghai Theatre Academy, Lin Li's initiative to greet Wang Churan made people think a lot.

Not to mention netizens, even many actresses in the circle were going crazy with envy and jealousy at this moment.

Especially when they learned that Wang Churan might have gotten the role because of Lin Li, they were even more eager.

They also want to make progress!
The key is that there is no channel to get to know Lin Li. You can't go to the National People's Congress to block him, right?
However, before netizens had time to argue, the official Weibo accounts of Nanxun Culture Fanhua and Penguin Video updated three posts again, which attracted their attention.

If you look closely, these three posters respectively present the style of the three female characters in the play.

There are three posters with three female protagonists, namely Lingzi played by Ma Yili, Miss Wang played by Wang Churan, and Li Li played by Xin Zhilei. The posters have a sense of reality as if they were captured on the spot, freezing the state and charm of the three characters, and with small text to highlight the theme, it brings out a lot of room for imagination and interpretation.

What’s interesting is that, unlike the character posters that netizens are familiar with, two of the posters show part of Hu Ge’s back.

In the first poster, under a ray of sunshine, Lingzi, played by Ma Yili, is all smiles and looking upwards, as if something over there makes her extremely happy. Standing in front of her is Mr. Bao, with an upright posture, revealing only his profile and half of his shoulder, and wearing a paper hat, as if he is doing painting and decoration.

In the light and shadow, Lingzi has a bright and charming smile, which gives people endless guesses about the story.

There are two lines of small words in the center of the picture: Smile when we meet, and don’t think about each other afterwards.

This is a line from A Qing Sao's song in the Peking Opera Sha Jia Bang. A Qing Sao "boils three rivers in a copper kettle and entertains sixteen parties." She opens a teahouse, welcomes guests and sees them off, and is very good at dealing with people. The plot of "outsmarting Diao Deyi" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, making A Qing Sao the most classic proprietress.

Lingzi, played by Ma Yili, is also a proprietress. She runs a local cuisine restaurant called "Night Tokyo" on Jinxian Road in partnership with Mr. Bao.

The poster starts with the lyrics sung by A Qing Sao. Could it be Reiko in Tokyo that night? This made netizens wonder whether Reiko also has the same charm and skillful means as A Qing Sao?
Li Li’s poster has a unique sense of dominance.

Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei, looked at President Bao, holding the ladder with one hand, her eyes as sharp as a torch. As they looked at each other, Li Li's strong aura was undoubtedly revealed, and half of President Bao's back appeared in the painting.

In the middle there is a line of small words: "Never trust the kindness from strangers."

This "harsh remark" appeared in such a situation. Upon closer inspection, it sounded like a piece of advice from Li Li to Mr. Bao.

It is difficult to predict whether the kindness from strangers is a bargaining chip or a trap.

Li Li's identity, whether he is an enemy or a friend, is also confusing.

According to the official blog introduction, Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei, is the proprietress of Zhizhenyuan Hotel on Huanghe Road. She has such a strong aura and her strength should not be underestimated.

The last poster is quite special.

Miss Wang’s poster is the only one that does not feature a man’s back.

Miss Wang, played by Wang Churan, wears glasses with thick lenses that look old-fashioned, her curly hair is messy like a strong wind, and her expression looks like she is laughing and crying at the same time.

There is a line of small words on the screen: Who said I am a crybaby?

"Pongkujing" is a Shanghai slang term that refers to people who cry easily.

Miss Wang's expression, which seemed to be both crying and laughing, and both laughing and crying, seemed to be a powerful response to this sentence.

It conveys a kind of optimism and open-mindedness after the rain, "I'm not a crybaby."

It is not difficult for netizens to guess that Miss Wang in the play must have cried a lot and must have been called a "crybaby", otherwise she would not have come up with this defense.

According to the character introduction on the official Weibo, Miss Wang is a glamorous professional woman who works in an office at No. 27 The Bund. So what made her cry, and what made her laugh?

When netizens looked at the three posters together, they found it very interesting. Lingzi and Li Li, the two proprietresses, one opened Ye Dongjing on Jinxian Road, and the other opened Zhizhenyuan on Huanghe Road. One is the versatile A Qing Sao, and the other is the powerful Guojianglong.

Miss Wang appears alone in the poster, but she exudes a tenacity.

Regardless of whether Mr. Bao appears or not, it seems to be telling that the three women have an inextricable relationship with Mr. Bao. The female characters captured by Wang Jiawei are classic and full of tension.

The three heroines shown in the three posters of "Fanhua" have different postures.

The details in the poster are full of suspense. Although it is just the tip of the iceberg, Lingzi's delicacy, Miss Wang's stubbornness, and Li Li's aura, the personality charm and character atmosphere of the three heroines are undoubtedly highlighted.

In addition to the text that points out the theme, the intrusive back figures, and various suspenseful designs, it seems that the work is a puzzle left for netizens, giving people endless imagination space, waiting for everyone to explore.

At the same time, the official Weibo account of Nanxun Culture's Fanhua also specifically stated that Fanhua will be launched in a bilingual version. The Shanghainese version of Fanhua has the authentic flavor of Shanghai. Taking into account the viewing habits of audiences across the country, the actors will specially record the Mandarin version and put equal effort into it.

After seeing the three posters, netizens were filled with curiosity and high expectations.

Is this the first time they know that posters can be played like this?
They suddenly discovered that Wang Churan's appearance and demeanor were really good.

As for Xin Zhilei, she doesn’t look ugly, she even has a somewhat...domineering profile?
It’s really worthy of being Wang Jiawei!
This thought arose in the minds of many netizens at the same time.

Many people silently admitted in their hearts that their previous voices towards Wang Churan and Xin Zhilei seemed a little louder.

If Hu Ge and Ma Yili's performances were as expected, then Wang Churan and Xin Zhilei's performances were a bit of a surprise to them.

Netizens are increasingly looking forward to seeing this work sooner.

-

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Li, who had spent a rare day writing scripts in the company, went to an appointment that was somewhat unexpected for him.

Well, strictly speaking it's not a surprise.

Because we have been planning this for a long time, it finally happened today.

The capital city in early May is not warm enough, especially at night, the temperature is still slightly low.

People generally wear a thin coat and long pants to keep warm, but the outfit of the girl in front of him made Lin Li shudder.

The cake-collar short-sleeved shirt paired with a black pleated dress, candy-colored short boots and a red bow headdress make the girl in front of you look more Japanese and fresh, with a sweet atmosphere of a high school girl.

but……

Apart from a short-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt, the only thing exposed was a pair of bare, white legs.

Tsk... a bit cool.

"Does it look good?"

Cheng Xiao put her toes together, raised her chest and stood in front of Lin Li for him to watch.

"Is not It Cold?"

Lin Li took a quick glance at her, paused briefly at the majestic curves in front of her, and asked with gritted teeth.

"You just say whether it looks good or not?"

Cheng Xiao took a step forward, getting closer to Lin Li.

"Well, not bad."

Lin Li admired it again and had to say that it was full of vitality, pure and sexy.

Cheng Xiao at this period was already fair and creamy, and with this outfit, she looked both cute and sexy.

This already eye-catching combination, when worn by a girl with good curves, has an effect that is more than the sum of its parts.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Cheng Xiao sat back happily and handed the menu to Lin Li.

"So how come you suddenly have time this time? You just came back from Korea?"

Lin Li was somewhat surprised at Cheng Xiao's boldness this time. She seemed different from the timid state she had in previous times. This time, she was, well... very relaxed.

He also suddenly received a message from Cheng Xiao in the afternoon, and they made an appointment at a Hunan restaurant not far from the company.

After ordering the dishes, Lin Li handed her the menu.

"I am attending a fan carnival of Kiwifruit in Shanghai, so I'm staying for a few more days after it's over."

Cheng Xiao handed the menu to the waiter outside the private room and turned around to explain.

"What it is?"

Lin Li was unfamiliar with this term and asked out of curiosity.

"Kiwifruit organized a large fan meeting with many idols."

Cheng Xiao sat down and explained in vernacular.

"Uh... well."

Lin Li shook his head. This was an unfamiliar area for him.

"You are Teacher Nanxun, of course you don't know these things."

Cheng Xiao teased with a smile.

Cheng Xiao curled up his upper body in his shawl and unconsciously moved closer to the table to try to block out some of the cold wind, a typical example of someone who preferred style to temperature.

Lin Li wanted to give her some advice, but thinking of her good intentions, he didn't want to let her down, so he didn't say anything. He stood up, closed the doors and windows, took off his coat and handed it to her.

Cheng Xiao didn't act pretentiously. He glanced at Lin Li, stood up, took the shawl, wrapped it around his legs, hid his upper body in the large coat, and giggled.

It's his body temperature.

It’s really warm.
