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

Chapter 235, Guest Appearance in "Home with Kids": Your Childhood, My Childhood, We Are Different

At this moment, Li Xuan finished singing this song.

So we prepared to go back.

This time, I didn't just poop halfway.

A complete song about pursuing dreams with a pure heart.

Everything was presented completely.

This time I didn't forget the lyrics, after all, it's one of my favorite songs.

But it's not that easy to forget the lyrics.

After everything was over, Li Xuan returned to school. He had benefited greatly from this round of learning and still needed to digest what Liu Yuan and the others had said.

And then there's rock music—when they sing, it's a kind of soul-stirring roar and resonance, and that's something worth learning.

After returning.

Bai Zhantang from "My Own Swordsman" has been relegated to another role, which has now been given to Sha Yi, the most handsome boy from the PLA Academy of Arts. It will be quite difficult for him to take the role.

I'm just a newcomer to acting.

Their status is still quite different.

And considering my age, I am indeed quite young.

Currently, only "Chu Liuxiang" is available.

His competitor was an idol named Zhu Xiaotian, a former member of the Meteor Garden F4, a true idol group who was popular among the young generation in China at the time.

No girl hasn't watched Meteor Garden.

No boy doesn't have the F4 hairstyle.

He was the epitome of handsomeness at the beginning of the millennium, a leading man of this era.

However, in the end, the role still fell to Li Xuan.

There is only one reason.

That's Zhu Xiaotian. It seems that his body is a bit swollen due to the medication he's taking, and his appearance is not as good as before.

Its appeal has been diminished.

This isn't Zhu Xiaotian's fault. When the production team approached him back then, he wasn't like this yet; he was still the handsome and dashing F4.

Now we have Li Xuan as a new option.

Although they are not as famous as the F4 who were at the height of their popularity back then, they are certainly good-looking.

It could even be said that they won.

Disease is just that kind of thing.

Health is very important.

At this moment, Wang Fengsheng felt somewhat emotional.

"Unfortunately, this is something that money can't buy; it's truly a matter of timing and fate."

Perhaps it's because I've reached retirement age.

They are particularly sensitive to their physical health.

Perhaps it's because the scenery touched on my heart.

It's actually quite a pity about Zhu Xiaotian. Li Xuan knew about the Legend of Chu Liuxiang before, and many people on the internet attacked him as "Fat Beef Xiang".

Indeed, Zhu Xiaotian at that time was still quite a bit far from the image of the handsome and dashing lover Chu Liuxiang.

As one of the most handsome men in Gu Long's novels.

It's amazing that they could produce such an image.

However, the reason why he was able to hesitate for so long this time was because Zhu Xiaotian's name had a much greater influence than his own. Meteor Garden was incredibly popular back then, even achieving a terrifying 60% viewership rating in the Philippines. Overall, it was inferior to "Princess Pearl," but it could be said to be a work of the same level.

The popularity of this Japanese manga adaptation swept across China, and its influence was truly terrifying.

The original F4, who played the four male leads in "Meteor Garden," were all top-tier idols.

Inviting him to star in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was perfectly reasonable; they were drawn to his popularity to boost viewership—it's common practice. If Li Xuan hadn't come, they probably would have used him even considering how overweight he is.
Now, with another lead actor to choose from, this is a near-top-tier historical drama.

The result was obtained through a combination of Wang Fengsheng's recommendation from Beijing Film Academy and consideration of this year's award winners.

“You have to cherish this opportunity. If Zhu Xiaotian hadn’t been sick and taking medicine, it might have been very difficult. After all, he’s a top idol.” Wang Fengsheng paused and said, “Of course, it’s the same for you. Health is the most important thing. What’s the use of filming so many movies if you’re not healthy?”

Wang Fengsheng also watched Li Xuan's filming process, and he was simply like an iron man.

There is absolutely no need for rest.

Having goals and sticking to them is a good thing, but once your body is damaged, it's not so easy to recover.

Especially for those who take the martial arts route, not to mention middle age, they basically start to develop health problems and hidden injuries after their peak physical condition in their youth. Countless Hong Kong action and martial arts actors back then have suffered from these hidden injuries.
Although Li Xuan nodded, he was also thinking to himself that he shouldn't worry too much about this problem, since he had the system as his 'personal doctor'.

Now I truly have 'nine dragons protecting me'.

My biggest advantage is probably that I don't need to monitor my health too much.

Of course, we should still listen to the old principal's teachings.

"The Legend of Chu Liuxiang has been remade many times. Although it is certainly not as good as The Return of the Condor Heroes, it is still not bad. At least it is a commercially viable male lead."

However, Wang Fengsheng said seriously, "But you have to be serious this time, it's very important for you."

Commercial films are a test of an actor's abilities.

This time, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" also has this idea in mind, but Huang Xiaoming is much more certain to be the protagonist, after all, he has a much stronger reputation and connections.

The "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" was also more senior.

The work is also better, "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

In recent years, Jin Yong's works have been the most popular among the Four Great Talents of his time.

Lower barrier to entry and comprehension, and a wider audience.

Gu Long's audience is much narrower, or perhaps the viewing threshold is higher.

This applies not only to the audience.

For actors, Jin Yong's characters are more one-dimensional and have more labels, making them more difficult to understand. Gu Long's characters, on the other hand, are more complex and multifaceted. If an actor performs them well and understands them well, it creates depth in the character; if they perform them poorly or understand them poorly, it becomes something incomprehensible. It's basically a matter of a single thought.

Lower popularity and higher threshold are why Zhu Xiaofei was chosen to play the role. This actor, who played a playboy in "Meteor Garden," might actually be able to bring out the playboy attributes of the character in "Chu Liuxiang."

Whether it's casting or choosing a project theme, it's the result of comprehensive consideration and negotiation from all aspects.
Handsome guys? Our Li Xuan is just as good-looking.

As for the upcoming itinerary, everything has been arranged properly.

First, I'll make a cameo appearance in "Home with Kids," and then I'll film "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang."

Next up is "The Myth," which has already started generating buzz even before its release.

At the end of this year's film market, the three most eye-catching domestic films are "The Myth", "A Chinese Tall Story", and the most anticipated one, a masterpiece from one of China's strongest film masters, Chen Kaizi, who once directed "Farewell My Concubine".

The Promise!
This film boasts a star-studded cast and is highly anticipated. Everyone has high hopes for it, and even Wang Fengsheng was invited to the premiere.

They were brimming with confidence.

Although he was very much looking forward to "The Promise", Wang Fengsheng still looked at Li Xuan and said.

"I wonder what kind of graduation show you'll put on for me when you graduate from college, when I retire, when you graduate. I'm really looking forward to it."

Graduation play
Li Xuan silently thought of his novel, "The Young Students".

If we were to make it the graduation performance...

You definitely won't be disappointed.

After Li Xuan left, Wang Fengsheng turned on his computer to listen to some music, and familiarly opened 'Qianqian Jingting'.

Wang Fengsheng learned how to download music from his daughter; after all, free things are always appealing.
When I looked at the download charts, Chen Kun's "Half Moon Serenade" and Zhao Yanzi's "Misty Rain" were both on the list.

"Just like yesterday, not bad. You truly deserve to be an outstanding student from Beijing Film Academy."

Wang Fengsheng looked admiringly at the two names on the computer screen: "Big Star" from Beijing Film Academy.

He has also made his own achievements in music.

Or rather, this is an indispensable path to becoming a 'big star'.

The direction of vocal training is not only to increase one's control and training of one's voice, but also to increase one's fame and reach through the career of a singer.

That's how celebrities have to be.

At this time, Huang Xiaoming's "Jianghu Xiao" also entered the fray.

The leaked theme song of "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?

Ha, Zhang Jizhong is still as good at hype as ever.

Keep scrolling up.

At that moment, Wang Fengsheng saw a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Blooming Life" - Anonymous.

Wang Fengsheng knew this song. It was Li Xuan's midterm project during his freshman year, and it immediately ignited the entire audience. It can be said that this was the first time Wang Fengsheng had witnessed Li Xuan's musical talent.

I heard that he composed and wrote the music for this song.

On the spot, Wang Fengsheng felt that Li Xuan's talent was truly terrifying upon closer examination.

He has talent as an actor and talent as a composer. However, so much time has passed that he had almost forgotten the existence of this song until he saw it hanging high at the top of the charts.

And this time I saw this song.

It's not just because "Blooming Life" is anonymous—it's also because of the suffixes (Black Panther Band, Tangram Band). Holy crap!

real or fake!

The Seven Pieces Band and the Black Panther Band will provide you with accompaniment!
At this moment, the song "Blooming Life" was clearly recorded in a recording studio.

They directly defeated Chen Kun and Zhao Yanzi to take first place!

"My sneak attack this time should have surprised them quite a bit, but it's okay, this is just my appetizer."

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming smiled slightly.

This was a small mishap that happened because of perfect timing, location, and circumstances—I had practiced singing for a long time, all for this moment, so that I could unleash my voice and amaze everyone.

Let me let you know that in the past two years, I have not only made great progress on the path of 'actor', but I have also paid a lot of price as a 'star' and as a 'leading actor', all for the sake of being able to do so at this moment.

This is just an appetizer.

My "The Banquet" is the real killer move.
the film.

That was where his murderous intent lay.

Next year's masterpiece, "The Banquet"!
The resources acquired after acknowledging a godfather!

I'm making a name for myself in the film industry!

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then he saw Liu Yifei next to him, wearing headphones and with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. The curve of her smile was really beautiful. Ah, my aunt, my aunt!
Little Dragon Girl is so beautiful.

She must be listening to my "Laughter in the Jianghu" right now, she must be listening to the theme song of our "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Hey, hehehe.
As soon as I tried to get closer to listen, I heard the sound leaking from the headphones.

I want a life in full bloom.
what?
At this moment, Liu Yifei was still immersed in the music.

Huang Xiaoming, who was completely oblivious to the awkwardness, was surprised when the Qianqian Music Player webpage refreshed.

The top spot on the leaderboard isn't occupied by "Jianghu Xiao," which he released with the intention of promoting "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

It was that song, "Life in Full Bloom".

Anonymous – Black Panther Band – Tangram Band.

Grass!
Who is this anonymous person?

Black Panther Band, Tangram Band? Rock stars of the old era?
It's impossible not to be shocked when you see these names.

This person who cut in line and emerged victorious.

Who exactly is this person? They don't even have a name?

Of course, only Liu Yifei knows, at least here, who this music belongs to.

Music belonging to Brother Li.

"Oh my god, 'Life in Full Bloom' snatched the rights. I thought Huang Xiaoming was going to steal it from me. It scared me to death."

At this moment, Chen Kun, who was at home, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he narrowly lost this time with "Half Moon Serenade," when he watched the music bearing Huang Xiaoming's name start to climb, a strange thought arose in his mind. This thought was probably that he didn't really want him to get first place.

I'm worried that Huang Xiaoming will fall too far behind, but when he actually surpasses me in a certain area, I'm also worried that... he will actually surpass me.

Fortunately, this time someone overtook us.

Haha, we're all people who were cut down by our horses.

That's pretty good.

Chen Kun instantly felt much better.

However, I'm not upset at all that my song was surpassed by this mysterious, anonymous singer.

Black Panther Band and Seven Pieces Band are probably just professional musicians dabbling in music.

I'm an actor.

Although he's pursuing a celebrity career, he still focuses more on acting. Being defeated by a professional musician isn't something to be ashamed of.

It's impossible that the other party is also an 'actor'.

Chen Kun was amused by his own thought.

There aren't that many actors who need to sing—not everyone is qualified to walk the path of a star.

You're definitely overthinking it.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Cheng Shilong, who was handling the release of "The Myth," was also a bit annoyed. He had been personally involved in many things during this period, and with the release date approaching, he was quite nervous—especially since "New Police Story" had flopped once.

Tang Jili was right next to Brother Long at that moment, giving him some instructions.

It's nothing more than the release of the movie and the recording of the song "The Myth". We actually recorded it recently, and invited Kim Sun-hee to record the song together. I don't know if she wasn't in the right state of mind or what, but she couldn't record it well.

Cheng Shilong was not satisfied with the song he recorded, and it actually delayed his time for other things.

Recording isn't finished yet; we have to wait for Kim Sun-hee's next schedule. Sung Si-ryong is considering handing over the theme song project to someone else.

But Tang Jili insisted that Chengshilong sing – the male and female protagonists singing "Myth" together – only then would it feel right!
This is their 'myth'!
At this moment, Tang Jili was also a little irritable, so he played some songs to relax and then opened Qianqian Music Player.

"Hey, this song is pretty good."

"Oh, it's called 'Life in Full Bloom'."

"Who's singing?" At this point, Cheng Shilong felt something was off, and the more he listened, the stranger it seemed.

"An anonymous singer... and the Black Panther Band and the Seven Pieces Band are playing along. They must be someone in the music industry?" Tang Jili also quite liked this song, not only because it was catchy and had good lyrics, but also because—it was free.

Free things always taste the best.

"Isn't this sung by Li Xuan?"

"Li Xuan? You mean our General Meng?"

"Yes! It was him who sang it."

"How did you know?" Tang Jili was somewhat shocked and astonished. How did he figure it out?

It does sound somewhat similar at first glance!

"Perhaps it's because we practice martial arts that we're quite sensitive to the aura between people. I knew it was Li Xuan's voice as soon as I heard it."

Holy crap, martial arts training can have this kind of thing?

At this moment, Tang Jili could hardly conceal the shock in his heart.

Of course, the most breathtaking part.

The main point is that this song was actually sung by Li Xuan.

She sang really well.

From both the pronunciation and singing perspective, he has clearly undergone professional training; he actually knows how to sing.

Regardless of who wrote the song.

Tang Jili then thought about it.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

"What do you think about us inviting him to sing 'The Myth'? Having him sing the theme song would be perfect!"

This song needs to be sung by Meng Yi and Princess Yu Shu.

Only then can one have that mythical sense of destiny.

If Li Xuan can sing now.

Wouldn't it be best to invite him to sing?

At this moment, Chengshilong seemed to be deep in thought.

This could really turn out badly.

"Then let's contact him."

"He can even sing! What else is there about this guy that we don't know?" Tang Jili clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Perhaps he also composed this song."

Cheng Shilong was joking around nearby.

Tang Jili, who was standing next to him, burst into laughter.

That's unlikely.

If that's the case, then fate has been too kind to him, and that would be too enviable.

That's probably unlikely.

At this very moment, Li Xuan is filming "Home with Kids" in Beijing.

This time, he's making a cameo appearance as Xia Xue's boyfriend.

Meanwhile, someone was singing and dancing nearby, recording a music video for the theme song of the sitcom "Home with Kids".

Your childhood and my childhood seem to be the same!
Li Xuan listened from the side, then shook his head violently.

No, it's not.

Your childhood, my childhood, we are different.

When I listened to it before, I never felt anything was wrong, but after growing up and thinking about it carefully, I realized that Xia Donghai's family was basically at the level of the elite.

Our childhoods seem to be quite different.

At this moment, Li Xuan was waiting to record the song on the side, while silently complaining.
