I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 213, Liu Yifei: Brother Li, you're so cute!

"Humph!"

Why are you angry?

"I'm not angry!"

"If you're not angry, why have you ignored me for so long?"

"I...I didn't."

At this moment, Liu Yifei pouted.

She seemed a little annoyed, and this restlessness left her somewhat at a loss.

She has many things she dislikes.

For example, the way the female students looked at each other.

For example, many things.

It made her very uncomfortable, even though she saw Brother Li looking so radiant.

I should be happy for him.

But why does it feel a little sour?

I hate this feeling.

Just as Liu Yifei was pondering.

Suddenly something was stuffed into her mouth.

It's a big chicken leg.

"You're so annoying, Brother Li!"

"I just saw you looking gloomy and wanted to cheer you up." Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Isn't it cute? You don't look good with that long face."

"Nobody's as handsome as you, Brother Li! So many people have seen how handsome you are!"

The girl felt a little jealous. But the contradiction was that she didn't even know why she felt jealous.

This feeling is very contradictory.

I'm feeling very down.

"I'll put on a show for you, a special show just for you."

At this moment, Li Xuan performed a dramatic change in temperament for Liu Yifei.

From masculine to feminine, isn't this just a carbon copy of Pan Yueming?

wrong.

She's even more "cute" than Pan Yueming.

Liu Yifei chuckled.

I laughed.

Who would have thought that the masculine and domineering Fahai would have such a gentle and adorable side?

She has a side that's even cuter than Xu Xian and Pan Yueming.

This contrast.

He hasn't appeared on the big screen yet.

Is this a side of me that belongs only to me?
A jumble of thoughts burst forth in Liu Yifei's mind, but the somewhat depressed mood dissipated considerably, replaced by a hint of secret delight.

That little bit of secret joy.

Li Xuan's demeanor constantly shifts, from a fiery and aloof handsome man to an adorable little devil like Xu Xian, and then...
Everything everything.

All of this was presented to Liu Yifei.

It stirs my emotions.

Looking at Liu Yifei's beaming face, Li Xuan suddenly thought that this girl was really funny and easy to please.

She's definitely a teenage girl.

All sorts of thoughts and feelings.

"I'm going to film again. Let's watch 'Chinese Paladin' together when I get back."

"Hmm! Come to my house and have a look, my house is quite big."

"Let's see then."

Li Xuan smiled slightly.

Liu Yifei really wanted to blurt it out.

Do you want to watch it with other girls?
No!

I'm so embarrassed to be asked that!

but
What Brother Li just said.

A lot of things are only shown to me.

The other girls can't see it.

He wouldn't lie to me.

Some things belong only to me.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back from filming, and we'll watch it together then!"

For Liu Yifei, many things happened naturally, and her mother helped her solve many problems.

With her own personal agent, many problems cease to be problems.

Most of the worries and stresses are irrelevant to her.

Of course, she did feel some pressure when "Chinese Paladin" started.

This is a very young project.

The Shanghai-based entertainment circle, comprised entirely of the younger generation, essentially embodies all the elements of failure. While the publicity for this work wasn't exactly lackluster, it was largely focused on her.

All of this is focused on Liu Yifei's beautiful appearance and temperament.

They all came because of her looks.

This is not a mistake in itself; appearance is also a core competitive advantage, and this is undeniable.

However, when this heavy burden fell on her shoulders, she couldn't help but feel pressured.

She didn't tell anyone about this pressure.

She didn't even mention her own mother, because she already knew her mother's answer.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

You want to be the leading lady.

Bearing these things is inevitable.

This is an inevitable part of your life.

These things are true, but for Liu Yifei, it is indeed a lot of pressure.

You should always be smiling at school.

He was smiling and very happy.

I'm very cheerful, just like everyone sees me. I have resources, no worries, and I've won at the starting line in terms of looks and figure. These voices and noises have drowned out so many other things.

"Everyone has their troubles, I guess. I wonder what Brother Li's troubles are."

Many people think so.

Li Xuan's troubles are probably due to the oppression and targeting by capital. Even Liu Lili thinks so. She also feels that Li Xuan's biggest pain point right now is the voice from the Beijing circle.

I also think it's this arrogant kid who's making a fuss over nothing because he hasn't figured out his own place.

Only Liu Yifei vaguely sensed it.

Brother Li's biggest troubles probably come from other places, so we threw him a birthday party for the New Year.

So she saw Li Xuan's genuine smile.

Hehe, so cute.

Brother Li is just so adorable.

Only I know his adorable side.

At this moment, Liu Yifei's face turned slightly flushed.

Her already fair and rosy skin became even more alluring, making Jiang Yan, who was standing next to her, envious.

"There's no way to compare, it's simply incomparable."

Jiang Yan is a rare beauty, and in previous years she would have been a worthy successor. But in the class of 2002, she encountered a rare celestial beauty, a fairy on earth. With such looks and resources, she probably had no worries at all.

That's certainly how it is in other people's eyes—no worries, given the availability of resources.

She's beautiful, talented, and has all the resources.

No worries, right?

Even if the great waves of time were to wash away the sand, they wouldn't find her.

Enviable.

Liu Yifei never refutes anything about this matter, nor does she confide her troubles to others. To others, her troubles may just be needless worries, or perhaps they are happy troubles.

"This time we are rivals, and I'm really looking forward to your work."

At this moment, someone else came and found Liu Yifei.

It's Huang Shengyi. Actually, the two do have some similarities in appearance. They both follow the pure and innocent route, but Liu Yifei is more pure, more youthful, more beautiful, and younger.
Huang Shengyi does have her advantages. Compared to Liu Yifei, she has a more "older sister" feel, which is something Liu Yifei lacks.

Huang Shengyi also has a work airing this year, which is his first TV series with Star Shine Entertainment. After Kung Fu Hustle ended, Stephen Chow did not stop conquering new territories. The TV series was filmed early and is ready to be released.

Kung Fu Master.

The Qing Dynasty palace drama is a joint production of Star Shine Entertainment and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Cultural Industry.

She is the lead actress, ranked first.

Featuring supporting actors like Uncle Da, Chen Guokun, and Yuan Qiu, it's almost the original cast of Kung Fu Hustle, plus Uncle Da as a powerful addition.

Stephen Chow also knows that he should take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

And so, hastily appearing, riding on the coattails of "Kung Fu Hustle," "Kung Fu Champion" arrived.

She is confident about this work and has figured out many things.

I'm just a supporting character, why should I get hung up on Li Xuan? He's a male lead, we're not even on the same wavelength.

I should be comparing myself to leading ladies of the same caliber, like Liu Yifei, who is my real rival.
A single thought can broaden the world.

As for Liu Yifei, I don't think I'm weaker than her.

I should be better than her.

I have more acting experience, better roles, and a better resume.

It's only natural that I'm better than her.

I can't beat Li Xuan.

"Can't I beat you?" Liu Yifei's response was also poised and generous, without much emotional fluctuation. "I'm also looking forward to your work, senior." Everyone will be fine.

Huang Shengyi felt like he had punched cotton.

This girl isn't taking the bait.

Ok.

"Then I look forward to your response."

At this point, Huang Shengyi made his statement.

She was determined to be the only female lead in this and even the next two seasons. He knew Liu Yifei's resume and background, but in the end, she had never properly played a female lead role. As for his so-called Legend of Sword and Fairy, many people were not optimistic about it.

Huang Shengyi even specifically asked her father.
The Shanghai entertainment circle had a lukewarm response to the project, with many believing it was just a publicity stunt by Tangren Media.

The chairman is a young man born in the 1980s, not yet thirty years old.

A young person's project, which is still in its infancy, is trying to imitate others by making TV dramas.

I'm afraid I'll lose money and have to go back to my hometown.

After learning that this was the prevailing opinion in the industry, Huang Shengyi's confidence increased significantly.

That's the understanding I have, so I'm relieved. My father even asked some veterans in the industry, and they all think the same way.

What an elderly person might think is a matter of perception, but if all the senior people in the industry think so, then it might be an established fact.

As it turns out, the chances of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" becoming a hit were extremely slim.

This time.

Huang Shengyi is about to rise to prominence, stepping on this so-called celestial being!

At this moment, Liu Yifei returned to her seat.

As I watched the autumn leaves fall outside the window, before my thoughts could wander, a large hand covered my eyes.

So warm.

Such big hands.

A very familiar and warm hand.

In fact, no other boys at school dared to treat her like that. In the eyes of the other boys, she was a goddess who was high above them and could not be desecrated by anything.

"Brother Li."

"Hmm~"

At this moment, Li Xuan came to Liu Yifei's side with a thermos cup containing brown sugar ginger tea.

"You'll need this thing."

"Hmm."

Although Liu Yifei blushed a little, she still accepted Li Xuan's brown sugar ginger tea, which was very comforting.

This kind of straightforward concern.

It feels so good; she likes this kind of care too.

Of course, if it were someone else's boy who cared about her this much, she would run faster than a rabbit.

Thanks for not being sensitive.

Sorry to bother you, goodbye.

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself."

At this moment, Li Xuan paused and said, "No matter what, you are you, Liu Yifei. Whether you succeed or fail, you are still you. You won't change because of other things."

In my eyes, you remain the same as always.

No change.

Li Xuan's eyes were very clear.

There was no flattery, no envy or jealousy of any kind.

No matter what, good or bad.

You are you, and you will always be you.

In my eyes, there haven't been many changes.

You are Liu Yifei.

It doesn't matter whether you're the main character or a supporting character.

You are you.

The autumn wind outside the window dispersed the dark clouds.

The remaining sunlight was cool and pale.

Brother Li.

Without much fuss, Li Xuan bid farewell to his classmates and prepared to go to Hong Kong to shoot his work.

"Liu Yifei is also under pressure. Although most people think it's just being dramatic, after all, how could a girl like her have any worries?"

A person who is perfect in the eyes of others, with a perfect background, appearance, and figure.

These are girls who have reached the pinnacle of their craft.

Even if she voices her troubles, others will only see it as self-inflicted distress.

It will only be seen as a pretentious happy trouble.

Li Xuan disagreed with this.

There are no such things as happy troubles.

Worries are worries, and her pressure is pressure.

"After filming this movie, it should be the peak of the television industry. Wait for my 'Chinese Paladin'."

At this moment, Li Xuan was thinking that after finishing filming this movie, he should be able to take a short break.

I miss my campus life.

I can go back to school again.

But before that, I have to be a member of the underworld.

Be a gangster for once.

If I had to say, Jimmy and Lau Kin-ming do share some similarities, but Lau Kin-ming is the chosen one; he got the most opportune opportunity at the most opportune time.

It changed from black to white.

Then he couldn't bear to give up his legitimate identity, while Jimmy didn't get that opportunity from the start, making his life experience even more realistic.

There is no chance to regret it.

They didn't even have the chance to pretend to be righteous like Liu Jianmin. They lived their whole lives in a dark quagmire, in a life called the underworld.

Ultimately, they cannot find relief or escape.

Deep in darkness.

They were both thugs.

Different paths, different outcomes.

Deep in the dark swamp.

At that moment, Liu Jianming whispered in Li Xuan's ear, "You can't control this person."

"I can."

"No, you can't. You can be me, but if you want to be Jimmy, you're not qualified."

Li Xuan neither confirmed nor denied this.

Jimmy is much more difficult than Lau Kin-ming.

The difficulty is at least much greater when you are young.

If Lau Kin-ming's life is extraordinary, then Jimmy's life is too ordinary.

This is counterintuitive.

The more ordinary a life is, the more flesh and blood it contains.

This makes it more difficult to control, and thus has a more profound and heavy impact on one's own life.

"This ordinary road."

At this moment, Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky.

If it were that year, the year I left school during my student days.

If I choose to continue down this path of depravity, I might end up living the life of Jimmy, or at least, experiencing the same kind of depravity.

Let it be a dark and decadent existence.

Becoming a hoodlum, becoming a rebellious young man, without any guidance, makes the worst decisions. Without guidance, he chooses the best solution at the moment, which is to hang out with those powerful thugs, roam the streets with them, and if he's unlucky enough to meet some big shot from who-knows-where, he'll be sold out, maybe go to jail for him, or maybe get killed while causing trouble.

Who knows.

"Actually, this movie is very difficult. You need to carefully consider and polish it. Don't underestimate these characters. They may be the most compelling characters you have encountered in recent years."

"I know, boss. Don't worry about me so much. I've been acting for quite a while now. In fact, I've been acting for even longer than your favorite Li Xuan."

At this moment, Lin Jiadong was both amused and exasperated. Faced with Liu Dehua's repeated instructions, he could only say that he understood.

"These roles are really not simple. As the grandest funeral in the old era, in addition to the difficulty of the actors acting together, the script itself is also quite difficult. When you all have your own personalities, it is definitely not a simple thing to make these differences in personality."

"I know, I know, don't act like a mother hen. Why don't you trust me as much as you trust that kid?"

At this moment, Lin Jiadong felt slightly helpless. "You, Liu Dehua, genuinely recommended Li Xuan, which means you trust him more than you trust me."

This made Lin Jiadong feel a little bitter.

I've been with you the longest, I was the first one here, and I've followed you for so long. You even said I have talent and acting skills, but in this matter, you strongly recommended Li Xuan, yet you have such doubts about me.

Are you looking down on me?

"How could that be? This is a very important film project for you. As your brother, I really care about you. This is a very important opportunity for you, and I don't want you to miss out on the fame that this precious opportunity can bring you because you don't perform well."

At this moment, Andy Lau spoke earnestly, his gaze deep.

Lin Jiadong neither confirmed nor denied this point. This was indeed a very important opportunity for him. Having played supporting roles for so many years at TVB, he was already used to what it was like to be a supporting actor.

This time, being part of the main cast of the film is the best resource he could access in his position.

Yes, judging from the movie "Election", it basically consists of two main characters, plus a group of main characters they lead, all of whom have significant roles.

Here, he felt a little jealous of that kid named Li Xuan.

At such a young age, to have such resources and roles, it's impossible not to feel envious and jealous. At that age, he wasn't even a supporting actor, just an extra.

What great luck! This really shows the difference between people.

Envy, and jealousy
Of course, these weren't the most bitter things for Lin Jiadong. After all, he had been in the industry for so many years and had seen countless actors who were better than him, had more advantages, and were more promising. He had seen all sorts of prodigies who rose to fame overnight.

What he resented most was probably Andy Lau's "favor" and trust towards him.

This lack of trust is what makes him most uncomfortable.

But it doesn't matter, I'll wait until I get to the film set.
I knew then that after years of reflection and growth, I was no longer the naive person I once was.
