Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 280 Celestial Beings Cannot Fall in Love
One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Liu Jing's noodles hadn't even arrived yet, but the small shop was already packed with people.

Eventually, the traffic police arrived, disrupting traffic.

Liu Jing took Qianqian out, skipping dinner and temporarily leaving the car at home.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at a small park.

Night fell, the crescent moon hung like a hook, and the wind rustled the leaves.

People came and went, and the night was shrouded in darkness, so no one recognized the two of them.

There were benches in the park, and Liu Jing was about to sit down when Qianqian stopped him, saying, "Isn't it dirty? Get out of the way. You're not tidy at all."

She was really particular; after shooing Liu Jing away, she took out some paper from her bag and wiped the paper a couple of times casually.

"Your signature is messier than when you do housework," Liu Jing complained.

Sisi signs her name frequently, but she does housework very infrequently, and not as much as he does.

Every time Sister Li forced her to do housework, she would just do it perfunctorily.

"I admit my calligraphy isn't as good as Yang Mi's. But it's not my fault; nobody taught me when I was little," Qianqian complained. Now she wants to practice, but it's too late.

This person is really something; they can connect anything to Yang Mi.

Liu Jing was also puzzled. He hadn't seen Qianqian harbor much resentment towards Tang Yan, Jing Tian, ​​and Shu Chang, but she did have a lot of resentment towards Yang Mi.

"Which of us, Uncle An and I, didn't teach you? Why don't you learn it?" Liu Jing sighed.

Sisi pouted. She was just stating a fact, nothing more. "Why are you sighing? Can't I say anything now? The more you avoid mentioning Yang Mi, the more you care about her."

"Sloppy calligraphy is nothing, it's better than misreading words. This is a huge embarrassment at the awards ceremony," Liu Jing chuckled.

Just a few days ago, the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held, where Zhang Liangying sang the theme song of "The Banquet" and presented the awards for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects with Chen Kun.

She didn't recognize "邹" and read "佘" as "余". She couldn't even understand the traditional Chinese character for "国".

Hongxingwu's crisis management efforts salvaged some of Zhang Liangying's image.

"We're talking about calligraphy, why are you saying all this?" Sisi was quite protective of the singers from Hongxingwu and didn't want to hear Liu Jing's sarcasm.

Moreover, she believed that Liu Jing was only trying to change the subject of Yang Mi's words.

“Right! Let’s continue talking about calligraphy. Someone who prefers military uniform to dresses has no time to practice calligraphy. If Sister Li asks you to learn dance, it’ll kill you. But if she asks you to learn martial arts, you’ll be fearless.” Liu Jing sat on the bench.

"It's not that exaggerated." Sisi used his lap as a pillow and looked up at the starry sky.

"There are so many outrageous things, do you want me to tell you all about them? Someone encouraged me to buy Tiananmen Square, encouraged me to deflate Uncle An's bicycle tires, encouraged me to add water to Auntie's cosmetics..."

"I don't remember anything at all. You're definitely making things up about me. I'm so kind, how could I possibly instigate you? You're the one who instigated me." Sisi didn't want to hear it. I've instigated so much of you, and you haven't done a single thing.

"So what do you remember?"

"I remember when you filmed 'The Cult Leader,' you were shirtless, and your buttocks were so white," Sisi said with a grin.

"You're even whiter."

"Well, you blockhead, you really have been plotting against me all along."

The two playfully bickered and laughed, and finally ended up kissing each other again.

If it weren't for the frequent passage of people in the small park, who knows what other crimes might have occurred.

Sisi leaned against Liu Jing's chest and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. Things from my childhood seem so distant, but actually, it hasn't been that many years."

"I ordered a few servings of hot and sour noodles, and I'll have them delivered to the hotel later." Liu Jing didn't join in the sentimentality; he had asked the restaurant to deliver them at 9:30, and it was already 8:30.

Sisi only ate two bites, so she's definitely not full. It's rare for her to want to eat something.

"Do you think I'm a pig? How could I possibly finish all that food?" Sisi pouted, so unromantic. Such a wonderful atmosphere, ruined completely with just one sentence.

“Li Mengdie and Jing Tian are here too, you can eat together,” Liu Jing replied.

"Hehe, you're so benevolent, old man." Xixi chuckled, then changed the subject, "Since you're so benevolent, what resources do you have on hand to give Yan Danchen a leading role?"

When Sisi auditioned for the role in "Painted Skin," there was little controversy, and she was cast immediately.

In the entertainment industry, regardless of age, there are very few female celebrities whose fame can surpass that of Xixi.

Among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), most of them are not as famous as Xixi (Li Qian), with only Zhao Yanzi (Zhao Yanzi) being more famous than Xixi.

The TV series "My Fair Princess" and "Romance in the Rain" created Zhao Yanzi's strong national popularity.

These incidents would be nightmares for anyone else.

This guy is alright; even though some of his health bar has dropped, he's still thicker than the others.

Zhang Ziyi has won more awards and her status in the industry is much higher than that of Xixi.

Xu Jinglei's decision to start his own company and become a director clearly indicates that he is heading down a different path.

Sissi's current weakness is that she hasn't won any major awards. A Grammy has limited impact on her career in film.

Even so, with no one targeting her or subtly blocking her, her resources are incredibly good, and she worries about what roles to take on every day.

So she set herself another rule: she could only join a maximum of two film crews each year, one for a domestic film and one for an international film. The final interpretation of these rules rests with An Feng.

With this rule in place, she had a reason to refuse others.

In the "Painted Skin" production team, the role of Xiao Wei was decided to be played by Xixi, but they still couldn't find a suitable candidate for Pei Rong.

The casting team evaluated the actresses who auditioned for the role of Pei Rong based on ten criteria, each worth ten points. Finally, a comprehensive score was calculated based on the weight of each criterion; the higher the comprehensive score, the more suitable the actress was for the role of Pei Rong.

The ten criteria are divided into three categories. The basic criteria are suitability for period dramas, box office appeal, and cost-effectiveness of salary. Character fit is divided into dignified lady-like demeanor, restrained explosive power, sexually repressed expression, and worldly housewife qualities. The risk factor includes recent history of disputes over billing order, past project delays, and the number of negative news stories.

In addition to these, there are three special factors: the director's wishes, the investors' wishes, and the audience's expectations.

While Sisi's overall score wasn't the highest in the casting of Xiaowei, she was unmatched in three special categories, which allowed her to decisively win the role of Xiaowei.

The casting for "Painted Skin" was exemplary, and Liu Jing paid close attention to it and participated in the process.

He felt that this model had significant reference value and planned to promote it systematically.

The casting process for Pei Rong can be described as full of twists and turns.

Zeng Li auditioned and received a score of 8.4, making her arguably the highest-scoring actress. However, Chen Jiashang remained hesitant about Mei San Niang, feeling she possessed a somewhat eerie aura, and only included Zeng Li on the shortlist.

Liu Jing recommended several more people, but Chen Jiashang rejected them all.

Li Xiaoran has a score of 6.1. She has a bitter look on her face, which can easily give people the wrong impression that Pei Rong and Wang Sheng are not getting along.

Chen Zihan received an overall score of 5.8. She has a fierce look and lacks a dignified air, while Pei Rong looks like a villain.

Yan Danchen received an overall score of 7.1, but scored very low in terms of role fit, and was more suited to the role of Xiao Wei.

Other investors also recommended others, with Ningxia Film Studio strongly recommending Li Bingbing.

Chen Jiashang was unwilling, but the investors had a lot of say.

Helpless, the director told the investors, "If you insist on using Li Bingbing, then continue to revise the script, change Pei Rong to a female general, and Xiao Wei to a male demon."

Golden Harvest strongly objected, saying, "What have they changed? How can we even film this?"

After careful consideration, the investors abandoned the idea.

Then, he recommended Xu Jinglei for the role of Pei Rong, and this time Jiahe did not object. Back when they were trying to get Gao Yuanyuan the lead role in "The Warlords," Xu Jinglei backed down, and Liu Jing was grateful for that.

However, Xu Jinglei herself is facing problems, as she is at a crucial stage in her transition from actor to director. She prefers to film realistic dramas and is not interested in productions requiring extensive green screen work.

Moreover, she wanted to portray an independent woman, and the character of Pei Rong conflicted with her beliefs.

Sisi was unaware of these casting secrets, but Liu Jing knew them very well.

However, Qianqian took the casting team's advice to Yan Danchen to heart, always feeling that if it weren't for her, the role might have gone to someone else.

It's rare to find someone in the entertainment industry who feels guilty even when vying for a role.

Besides, this isn't about stealing a role; the director is concerned about Mei San Niang, and of course, he's even more concerned about Chang'e.

Sissi is different; every role she plays is a classic, so she won't be typecast.

"The director didn't choose her, which really has little to do with you," Liu Jing said helplessly.

Even without Xixi's involvement, the production team wouldn't have chosen Yan Danchen to play Xiaowei; Zhou Xun's rating was much higher than hers.

Yan Danchen's acting career has also encountered problems.

It was Chang'e that made them, and it was Chang'e that ruined them.

Chang'e is not the main character in "The Lotus Lantern", but she left a deeper impression on the audience than the main character, Shu Chang.

She has filmed several movies in the past two years, but she has never been able to extricate herself from the audience's hearts.

Some actors can make a living from just one role for their entire career.

Some actors never get a single role in their entire lives.

Some actors are unable to escape a role throughout their entire career.

Yan Danchen was not content to live off what she had for the rest of her life and kept trying to break through.

"You've made her a mere dummy bidder so many times, it's time to give her a leading role." Sisi said pitifully.

In the 2002 casting for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the two actresses competed for the role of Wang Yuyan.

Filming for "Huanxi Sha" has begun, and Liu Jing arranges for Yan Danchen to accompany Gao Yuanyuan to audition for the role of Xi Shi.

When casting for "The Return of the Condor Heroes," Liu Jing once again arranged for Yan Danchen to audition for the role of Xiaolongnü, and the result was self-evident.

Yan Danchen was Liu Jingyong's most trusted shill, and Qianqian knew this.

She thought that Liu Jing had once again used Yan Danchen as a shill in order to create buzz for "Painted Skin".

"I'll listen to you. Next time there's a chance, I'll definitely give her priority." Liu Jing stroked her hair and sighed inwardly.

With a personality like Sisi's, if no one protects her, she'll suffer sooner or later if she tries to make it in the entertainment industry.

If it were Yang Mi, she definitely wouldn't feel any pressure; she would just be secretly delighted and celebrate her victory.

Pshaw! I brought up Yang Mi too, all because of Qianqian's interference.

"You're definitely looking down on me in your heart." Sisi pouted, she saw through everything in Liu Jing's eyes.

"No, I'm praising you in my heart. You're gentle, kind, understanding, intelligent, and quick-witted." Liu Jing, of course, wouldn't admit it.

"You've been using the same few words over and over again. Can you come up with a few more? You're out of ideas, aren't you?" Sisi smiled.

"It's not that I'm at a loss for words, but rather that countless words cannot describe even a fraction of what you have to offer," Liu Jing said with a fawning smile. He knew how to say nice things, too.

"You must have been resentful of me back at the restaurant," Sisi scoffed. "You know how to talk."

"I didn't expect you to admit that I'm your boyfriend." Liu Jing was quite surprised.

In the small restaurant, the older woman asked Qianqian if the boy was her boyfriend.

He thought Sisi would say, "This is my younger brother."

To everyone's surprise, Sisi replied directly, "You're right."

Liu Jing looked surprised and somewhat at a loss, which Qianqian remembered.

She was originally going to write this down in her notebook, but since Liu Jing had spoken so nicely just now, she decided to bring it up now to settle the score.

“Aren’t you the same?” Sisi questioned.

"Of course not," Liu Jing replied decisively.

Sisi, who was lying on his chest, got up angrily and stood up to leave.

“I’m not your boyfriend, I’m your husband,” Liu Jing continued.

He chuckled inwardly; the other three members of his family all seemed to want to play two roles in his eyes.

Sisi wants to be both an older sister and a wife; he is both a husband and a younger brother.

Sister Li wanted to be both a mother-in-law and a mother; he was both a son and a son-in-law.

Uncle An wanted to be both a teacher and a father; he was both a student and a son.

His identity changes frequently, anytime and anywhere, according to the other party's wishes.

Sisi angrily stomped hard on Liu Jing's foot, "Yang Mi is right, you are a bitch."

Yang Mi for the third time!
A thought flashed through Liu Jing's mind: Why does my brother get so many opportunities to appear when we're chatting privately?

Another thought flashed through his mind: why did his older brother get more screen time when he was talking to Jing Tian last night?

"Ouch, my leg's broken!" Liu Jing cried out, clutching his leg. It was mostly an act, the other 20% genuine pain. Qianqian's ability to defeat Cheng Long speaks volumes about her skill. He didn't hold back, stomping down with full force.

If Liu Jing hadn't been so tough and resilient, he would definitely be crying like Jackie Chan right now.

"Serves you right for teasing me." Sisi was a little worried and squatted down on the ground.

“What’s the use of massaging my legs? You’re stepping on my feet,” Liu Jing yelled.

Sisi gave a soft snort. She knew exactly how much force she had used in that kick, and she was genuinely worried about injuring herself.

She took off Liu Jing's shoes and examined them closely. "It looks like he has a fracture."

Liu Jingda was truly impressed. Your eyesight is amazing, even better than a CT scan.

"Can you blow on it for me?"

Sisi looked disgusted and said, "Your feet stink after filming all day."

She didn't need to get a CT scan; just by looking at Liu Jing's expression, she knew he was still teasing her.

"I'm talking about here." Liu Jing grinned mischievously, pinched his lips with his hand, and then kicked the other person's chest with his foot.

Then, without even putting on his shoes, he ran away after saying that.

Sisi grabbed Liu Jing's shoe and chased after him, yelling, "You slut, you're getting worse if you don't get disciplined for three days..."

What is love? Liu Jing didn't know.

I'm making a scene, you're laughing, let's have a good time after a long separation.

You're chasing, I'm running, but actually, it's not so bad.

There are fewer people outside the small restaurant, but there are more people inside.

The proprietress couldn't stop smiling; she had taken on another part-time job in the kitchen. Her husband was slow at preparing food alone, so she had to help out.

Forget about the fairy sister, business is really good at the store today.

No matter how big a star or how famous they are, nothing is more important than making money.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Liu Jing had a vague feeling that the benefits of celebrities probably extend beyond filming and endorsements.

Old Li is right; they can boost the economic benefits of a region, a city, an industry, or even a country.

"Painted Skin" was just an experiment; the government wanted to use it to promote the local area.

While thinking, Liu Jing rode his motorcycle to pick up Qianqian.

He can't just take his bike with him when he goes for a ride; there are plenty of people waiting for him there.

Sisi was not far away; in less than a minute, Liu Jing had already spotted her.

Liu Jing watched from the shop entrance for a while. Qianqian had been waiting for quite a while. "Why are you so slow? You left me here. Aren't you afraid I'll be bullied?"

You made Jackie Chan cry, who would dare to bully you now?

At this point, arguing is not an option; any explanation will be wrong.

Liu Jing took off his helmet. "Beautiful lady, wanna take a motorcycle taxi? Since you're pretty, I'll only charge the starting fare."

"How much is the starting price?" Sisi lifted her long legs and easily sat down in the back.

This is much better than Shu Chang's singing; that guy climbed up.

"Sleep with me for a while," Liu Jing joked, successfully dispelling his resentment.

"My boyfriend is super tough, be careful he doesn't beat you so badly you can't take care of yourself," Sisi said with a smile.

Liu Jing suddenly accelerated and then stopped abruptly, causing Qianqian to bump directly into his back.

If it were only once, she wouldn't have doubted it.

This has happened three times in a row; it's clear this guy is doing it on purpose.

At another intersection, Liu Jing continued his mischief, this time with a bit more ruthlessness.

Sisi rubbed her chest, thinking, "Why does this person have so many tricks up his sleeve?" She said, "Get down, I'll ride."

"I'll be gentler next time," Liu Jing promised.

"I'll massage you now, and you can massage me when we get back." Sisi scoffed, "Yeah, right."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you call me 'brother'."

"Screw you."

Liu Jing really wanted to reply, "There's a girl at the hotel, and I want to call her, but I'm afraid you'll hit me."
-
How many times have you asked for a bowl of spicy hot pot?

Sisi didn't have such thoughts; she felt that the number of times was too few.

She spent two days on set, enjoying the services, before embarking on her journey back to Beijing.

There are still a lot of things waiting for her in the capital.

When Xixi admitted to having a boyfriend, Liu Jing expected it to cause a huge uproar, but to his surprise, it went completely unnoticed.

Everyone only focuses on how down-to-earth Liu Yifei is, eating hot and sour noodles at a small restaurant.

The small restaurant went from being on the verge of bankruptcy to being packed to capacity.

Liu Jing gained a direct understanding of the power of fan engagement.

As for the boyfriend, no one believed it. Many people dug up Liu Jing's identity, and Liu Yifei's presence there provided the answer.

These are siblings; it's normal for them to be close.

People are already asking if she's your boyfriend, how is a goddess supposed to answer that?

If you answer no, they will definitely ask follow-up questions and you will have to answer several more.

Moreover, Liu Jingzheng is transitioning into directing, and as his older sister, she doesn't want her younger brother to be exposed too much.

So everyone praised her and readily admitted that it was indeed a display of high emotional intelligence.

It's impossible for a fairy to fall in love, absolutely impossible. This is just everyday interaction between siblings.

As you can see, when the two filmed "The Return of the Condor Heroes," they didn't portray romantic love, but rather the deep bond between siblings.

Even if the two are not related by blood, it is still impossible.

Especially Yifei Fairy Residence, which is a hundred thousand impossibilities.

A brilliant writer penned a lengthy post of 6,000 words, outlining ten reasons why it's impossible for a celestial being to be in a relationship.

The post is well-reasoned and supported by evidence, starting from family and career, and also involving personality, values, social circle, micro-expressions, etc., providing evidence for each point.

There aren't many news articles online about the siblings together, and there aren't many clips of Qianqian talking about Liu Jing either, but this expert has collected them all.

Liu Jing is really enjoying watching this drama unfold; this guy is definitely a talent.

Sisi felt heartbroken after seeing this, thinking that even her haters were worse than her.

What the two of them didn't know was that Sister Li was even more heartbroken.

She was extremely worried about the future of her two children and devised a comprehensive plan.

Liu Jing's decision to reunite with his relatives and establish his own household is only the first step.

With the filming of "Kangmei's Love" finished, her second plan began.

When the commercial airs, she'll get people to spread the word, saying the two of them look like a couple.

The internet has a memory, but people are the most forgetful.

Within two years, no one cared about the sibling relationship anymore; instead, they gradually accepted the two of them being together.

Before the second step even began, Sisi gave her a prelude, but the result was far from ideal.

Sister Li tried to get someone to lead the discussion, but it failed and was drowned out by the powerful voice of Yifei Xianju.

Fans firmly believe that the two have a genuine sibling relationship.

Haters relentlessly spread rumors that Liu Yifei has a sugar daddy and a Forbes-listed sugar daddy, and that her private life is chaotic, making it impossible for Liu Jing to be with her.

At that moment, she even had the urge to shut down the website.

There are no things much ado about.

Liu Jing wasn't bothered at all; he continued filming when he needed to and sleeping when he needed to.

The crew spent half a month at Dafosi Temple, filming two of the four scenes, before moving to Qianfoshan to film the Ice and Fire Island scenes.

"Crack crack crack..." Liu Jing was furious, looking like a drowned rat.

It was raining during the filming of the scene where Zhou Zhiruo kills Zhao Min.

Zhao Min and the Golden Lion King were studying the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword. Zhou Zhiruo was worried that the two would discover the secrets of the swords, so she secretly drugged them and knocked them unconscious.

Zhang Wuji, possessing profound martial arts skills, sensed something was wrong and quickly feigned unconsciousness to secretly expel the poison.

Zhao Min was clever and never trusted Zhou Zhiruo, so she didn't faint.

Zhou Zhiruo fought Zhao Min in the rain and repeatedly threatened Zhang Wuji.

Zhao Min was distracted while protecting Zhang Wuji, and could only use 30% of her skills, so she was defeated by Zhou Zhiruo.

The filming of these scenes went smoothly. We filmed for a whole day, mainly because Zhou Zhiruo's performance wasn't ruthless enough.

Now there's only one more scene to go: Zhou Zhiruo, jealous of Wuji's affection for Zhao Min, tortures and kills Zhao Min.

He used the Heaven-Slaying Sword to cut open Zhao Min's clothes, slashed her chest, and then stabbed her several times. Finally, he carried the bloodied Zhao Min and threw her into the sea, intending for her to be devoured by fish.

The earlier scenes were set in a cave, so there was no need for rain on set; we could just edit in some rain scenes later.

But this last scene absolutely has to include a rain scene.

Xiao Zhao's scenes on Icefire Island ended the day before yesterday; she was taken away by the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King is played by Chen Zihan, and Liu Jing has to say that Fatty Wang has a really sharp eye.

Chen Zihan's official photos truly live up to her reputation as the goddess in the hearts of the Ming Cult members.

This scene only features Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo. Liu Jing makes a cameo appearance as the photographer, and Jing Tian, ​​who can't stay idle, also makes a cameo appearance as a prop master.

Zhou Zhiruo cut open Zhao Min's chest, revealing her bare, white skin. Of course, during filming, they couldn't film anything too explicit, or it would definitely not pass censorship.

The film uses cinematic language to tell Zhou Zhiruo what she is doing.

Zhang Min is no ordinary actress; to film this scene, the set had to be cleared, and all the men had to leave.

The lady was left to handle the lighting and sound recording, while Liu Jing, as the director, naturally couldn't leave, so he took on the role of cinematographer.

So when Jing Tian wanted to work on props, Liu Jing didn't object, but it ultimately backfired on him.

"Jing Tian, ​​do you even have a brain?" Liu Jing roared helplessly.

This scene has already been filmed four times. The rain is not real rain, of course, but a prop.

Before filming the fourth take, Liu Jing told Jing Tian to spray more water towards the camera when spraying.

Then, as soon as he shouted "start," Jing Tian pointed the showerhead at him, which was even more intense than rain.

Thankfully, the machine is waterproof, otherwise we would have had to finish early today.

"You told me to spray more towards the camera to create an atmosphere," Jing Tian said, sounding quite innocent.

"Jing Tian, ​​I'm almost done soaking." Zhang Min straightened her clothes; she had two bras underneath, one of which Gao Yuanyuan had torn off.

The makeup artist next to her quickly brought over some clothes and covered her up.

"Sister, the water on you wasn't sprayed by me," Jing Tian quickly explained.

"Sigh! Props, come here and teach Jing Tian properly. I'm going to change my clothes," Liu Jing sighed.

This is the third time she has changed her clothes. The first time was because of Gao Yuanyuan. When Zhou Zhiruo grabbed Zhang Wuji and threatened Zhao Min, she tore her clothes.

The second time was because Zhao Min pushed Zhang Wuji into the mud while helping him up from his unconscious state.

"Sasha, come here and teach Yuanyuan what ruthlessness and evil are. I'm going to change my clothes too," Zhang Min called out to Chen Zihan in the distance.

Gao Yuanyuan blinked, "I'm soaking wet too, and I want to change my clothes."

Hey, you think I'm not ruthless enough? I'm going to unleash my full power later, so don't give me a hard time.
