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

Chapter 239, the person he was inhabiting wasn't named Chu Liuxiang, but Gu Long.

There is no screenwriter.

It could even be said that the production team could still operate normally even without a director.

A world completely dominated by Li Xuan.

The world is now dominated and guided by this character, Chu Liuxiang.

It can be said that on the set of "Chu Liuxiang", the most important person was only him.

He led the crew
Immerse yourself in this world of martial arts.

Shi Guanyin, Linlang, this ambitious female schemer
For a time, she was willing to give up the readily available treasure and power for the sake of Xiang Shuai. It can be said that she was just a stone's throw away from success, within easy reach.

Just a little bit more.

She was just a hair's breadth away from telling Chu Liuxiang.

For you, I'm willing to give up all of this.

The lovestruck young woman, as part of Linglang's group, made an impulsive choice for her.

Chu Liuxiang agreed to travel the world with her.

It can be said that this was a moment that moved and touched Chu Liuxiang deeply.

It could be said to be the only time in the entire Chu Liuxiang story that he was truly moved and touched by love.
Unfortunately, Dongqing was a bad woman.

Linlang's love for Chu Liuxiang was genuine, truly devoted, and truly loving.

But the part belonging to the Stone Guanyin is also real.

An ambitious woman.

In the martial arts world, the standards for judging a woman's charm are nothing more than her appearance, temperament, and skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. These are the standards by which one judges whether she is a stunning beauty.

Shi Guanyin is different; her ambition and martial arts skills surpass those of Chu Liuxiang.

The script conveyed to her a simple truth: she inherited the last wish of her adoptive father, Tenkajiro.

But for Choo Ja-hyun...

This character is partly devoted to love, but also partly driven by ambition and domineering desires.

It was not from the dying wish of his adoptive father, Tenka Jushiro.

Rather, it is the true achievement that a skilled and capable martial artist desires: to dominate the martial arts world!
I want to be the boss.

Who says that women are inferior to men.

Men can fight for the martial arts world, and I, Shi Guanyin, have even stronger martial arts skills, so why can't I?
The initial scriptwriters made her character, Shi Guanyin, become a nun due to a misunderstanding. She doesn't deny that Linlang's logic would indeed lead to this.

But the part that is considered as the Stone Guanyin was not taken into account.

Perhaps, Chu Liuxiang's deep affection for Linlang stemmed from more than just her obedient nature.

And that part is the stone Guanyin.

It is equally charming.

A female ruler.

Her domineering nature and her strength were also part of what attracted Chu Liuxiang.

If you only love Linlang's part, then it's not a two-way love.

However, if you choose the treasure of Moon City, you must give up Chu Liuxiang's love.

In the end, domineering desires triumphed over love.

In the end, he could not escape the readily available empire.

The karmic ties with Shi Guanyin thus ended, and even the 'resurrected' monk Wuhua was unable to continue his great cause of revenge.

He was the only one who was truly pure and steadfast in fulfilling his father Tenka Juro's wish; this was his unwavering conviction.

Everyone has their obsessions in life.

Just like in the final chapter, Chu Liuxiang's strongest boss, Yin Ji, the water nymph of the Divine Water Palace, possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and was equally twisted, but in the end, she was completely defeated by Chu Liuxiang's wisdom and power.

Chu Liuxiang's story unfolds in three chapters.

They encountered three conspiracies, three ambitions, and thwarted all three conspiracies.

But this is only one part of Chu Liuxiang's wonderful life.

These three chapters are only a part.

Next, Chu Liuxiang will continue his journey, continuing his adventures in the martial world.

He will encounter more people and more things. The life of a wanderer may be carefree, with a pot of wine tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, he may be embroiled in the strife of conspirators.

Who knows.

"I feel terrible."

At this moment, Nezha from "Investiture of the Gods," played by Chen Haoming and Hu Tiehua, was feeling very uncomfortable. As a major supporting character in the Great Desert chapter, he had a romantic partner in the script, namely Song Tian'er, Chu Liuxiang's sidekick.

In the end, however, they still couldn't capture that sense of chemistry between the two characters.

There's no other reason than that it can't be acted out.

The actress who plays Song Tian'er, Xiao Liujia, was originally arranged by the screenwriter to be Hu Tiehua's love interest, but it turned out to be a forced pairing, following the script.

But you can leave at the very end.

Song Tian'er, however, was still looking at Chu Liuxiang.

The pairing is indeed Hu Tiehua, but his eyes are definitely fixed on Chu Liuxiang.

The situation was similar for Zhongyuan Yidianhong and Li Hongxiu on the other side. The screenwriter did indeed arrange for these female supporting characters to be 'given' to others.

However, the script cannot dictate the characters' will.

Whether it's Li Hongxiu or Song Tian'er, who will they be attracted to?

It is only natural to fall in love with someone.

One kind of thing that doesn't need to be arranged, but rather stems from the character's own actions.

The arranged pairings couldn't suppress the characters' love for Chu Liuxiang.

Although this is very unfair to the male supporting characters.

But Ju Jueliang felt that this seemed to be more in line with the original work.

At the finals banquet.

Hu Jing watched her female colleagues with great interest. Regardless of their acting skills, their feelings for Chu Liuxiang seemed more real and genuine.

It's more like expressing feelings from a genuine, unfiltered perspective.

"That's really amazing, Chu Liuxiang! What do you guys like about him?"

"Strong kung fu skills."

"Handsome!"

At this moment, Hu Jing squinted and said, "As for me, it's probably because of a sense of security."

Chu Liuxiang possesses all the virtues of a man, and the female characters all have reasons to like him.

Handsome and powerful—these are qualities that both Zhongyuan Yidianhong and Wuhua Heshang possess.

But why do I just happen to like Chu Liuxiang?

"It's because of that feeling that belongs only to a wanderer. Unlike most people who spend their whole lives pursuing something concrete, he pursues something very inner, something very inner. This kind of 'freedom' is probably what attracts me the most."

At this moment, Choo Ja-hyun did not join the discussion among the female leads. She was drinking her wine by herself, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

He then looked at 'Chu Liuxiang' on the other side.

No, it's Li Xuan now.

Now, Li Xuan is an actor, no longer "Chu Liuxiang," and the feeling he evokes is completely different from that of Chu Liuxiang.

As an actress, this was the first time she had ever met an actress like this.

One of them was more handsome, more dashing, and more charismatic than any male actor she had ever met or worked with, and also more skilled.
It is even more attractive.

He was such an extraordinary man.

This also piqued Choo Ja-hyun's curiosity.

For this young actor.

He was younger and less experienced than all the other actors present, but he was very talented.

An even more unfathomable man.

At this very moment, Li Xuan was happily drinking and eating meat.

That makes people curious.

The inner self of this man.

What about it?

At this moment, Choo Ja-hyun became slightly curious about Lee Hyun, a man who was younger than her and who was said to be still in college.

Unlike other actresses who don't believe in vague feelings, Choo Ja-hyun is someone who believes in her feelings. She believes that her current feelings are more than just curiosity about 'Chu Liuxiang'.

"He's in Beiping, the capital of China. I've never been there before."

For the director.

This filming process was also fraught with twists and turns.

Starting with the male lead, there were casting issues, between Zhu Xiaotian and Li Xuan. Later, there was the problem of the CCTV editors being too assertive. This literary consultant complained a lot after returning home, and the two directors received many phone calls as well.

All sorts of issues were reported, including distorted values, insults against XX, not following the script, and actors being disobedient.

Actors only need to perform well, but directors have many more things to consider.

Whether it's dealing with CCTV or the subsequent editing, broadcasting, and promotion issues, these are not easy to handle.

This is just the beginning.

Being a director is tough too.

He's not the kind of big-name director with a voice.

Even great directors are subject to the control of capital and investors.

“But this time I’ve really learned something new, seeing someone like Li Xuan.” Liu Pengsheng said with emotion, “I thought you would oppose someone like Li Xuan, but I didn’t expect that he would be your biggest supporter from beginning to end this time.”

From the moment filming began.

Ju Jueliang suddenly became Li Xuan's mindless supporter.

It was as if Li Xuan was the most authentic Chu Liuxiang, as if he knew from the beginning that this would be the outcome.

I knew from the beginning that this Chu Liuxiang flavor was the best.

At this moment, Ju Jueliang remained silent for a moment before speaking.

“You know, when we first started filming, when his makeup and demeanor came to life, the first thing I saw was like seeing an old friend.”

"Like who?"

"Ancient Dragon."

At this moment, Ju Jueliang said with a complicated expression, "From the very beginning, he wasn't actually identifying with Chu Liuxiang."

It was that guy who was addicted to alcohol.

Elegant.

Author. Gu Long.

At this moment, the person sitting opposite Li Xuan was drinking with him.

He was a thin, middle-aged man.

Once upon a time, the chubby and fair-skinned Mr. Gu Long was tormented by illness and cirrhosis of the liver, turning him into such a pitiful creature.

The doctor said, "If you don't drink alcohol, you'll live longer."

Gu Long would just laugh it off, saying, "Without wine, I would already be dead."

Gu Long had his own understanding of the concepts of 'living' and 'dying'.

"That's great, you have a healthy liver."

No, my liver isn't healthy, it's a super liver, a systemically enhanced "Dragon Liver"—it's destined to be enhanced into a "Nine Dragons Pulling the Liver" liver.

You can't have what Mr. Gu Long has to offer.

Li Xuan was about to say that, but then he felt that the emotion of "envy" seemed too superficial for Mr. Gu Long.

He is different from most people.

He pursues a kind of internally generated, internally circulating power.
His peers, all talented young men, were buying properties, luxury cars, getting married, and having children. They all advised Gu Long to focus on his treatment, save money, get married, buy a house, buy a car, find a wife, and bring honor to his ancestors.

Everyone was advising Gu Long to follow the conventional way of life.

However, none of them ever considered it from Gu Long's perspective.

At this moment, Li Xuan chuckled.

"Drink up, drink more kinds of alcohol~~ Drink like crazy, get up and party!"

I, Li Xuan, am an ordinary person, a very ordinary person.

What I pursue is something that is easy for ordinary people to understand.

Completely, with no barrier to understanding.

But Mr. Gu Long, you are lonely.

Like Chu Liuxiang, he was also lonely. This loneliness and inner qualities added a lot of charm to him. Men liked him, and women liked him too. But in the end, they didn't really understand him.

I understand you.

Why drink today when we have wine tomorrow?

Cheers!
Gu Long also burst into laughter.

With just a pen, I've had everything I should and shouldn't have in this life.

If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate. Life itself is something that everyone has earned.

My 'friend'.

[Simulation Completed: Gu Long]

[Acting Skill Gauge +1] [Mental Resistance +1]

[Inner Strength: Gu Long's philosophy of life can help you resist confusion, and you have also come to understand this. While pursuing external things, don't forget the inner strength, which can bring you more happiness.]
[The aura of a wanderer: stems from your understanding of Gu Long's philosophy of life. This intrinsic driving force is the ultimate charm, enhancing human appeal (regardless of gender)]
Chu Liuxiang's charm isn't just for women; he's also incredibly alluring to men.

As expected of you, Chu Liuxiang.

As expected of Gu Long.

A friend of mine whom I have never met.

You were already dead when I was born.

But that doesn't stop us from being friends.

It's a strange feeling, even though he's already dead, and I've never met him before.

But I have long been able to connect with him spiritually through my feelings about his works.

At this point, Li Xuan went to collect his salary, 15 yuan, with the remaining balance to be paid when the show aired.

As for how high the pay can go, it all depends on the so-called 'appeal'.

This time, the overall viewership rating is calculated by combining the Chu Liuxiang IP with the individual's viewership appeal. And this appeal will affect their future status and salary.

To be honest, this isn't something they're particularly confident about; at least CCTV certainly isn't.

In the realm of film and television, Gu Long's copyright has always been implicitly considered inferior to Jin Yong's. Perhaps Gu Long's works have better expressive power in film, and in a practical sense, this is indeed the case.

Jin Yong is undoubtedly the king of martial arts copyrights. This time, the two martial arts IPs are both supported by CCTV, which clearly shows who is the favored son and who is treated worse. They even put someone who has never worked on a martial arts drama before on the show as a so-called literary consultant. From the perspective of the production team, it is at least intended to be a stepping stone for "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Li Xuan actually understands the conflict between the screenwriter and the director, and even has some feelings about it.

Actors only need to focus on acting, but directors have much more to consider.

"Sigh, when I'm filming my own movies, I really need to strive for a comprehensive 'mastery' of everything, otherwise, I'll be hampered in too many ways."

Regardless of whether Liu Xiaoye did the right thing or not, the production team definitely embarrassed her, which is equivalent to embarrassing CCTV.

She represents the organization stationed here, and she represents the dignity of CCTV, not just some nobody.

Whether she is right or wrong is another matter.

It's one thing that you kicked her out.

This explains why, at the celebration banquet, while the two directors were somewhat satisfied with the quality of the work and the actors' performances, they were also somewhat worried about what would happen next.
Ultimately, the matter of losing face for CCTV was still addressed.

That thing still happens.

This also made Li Xuan realize one thing—CCTV is not capital, it is not money-driven, but this often leads to other derivative troubles.

"Being a director is really troublesome. Luckily, I applied to the acting department." At this moment, Cui Peng, a senior student next to Li Xuan, said calmly, "The screenwriting issue has caused quite a stir."

"Hmm, you'll always encounter this kind of thing when you're on the front line. Whether you're a director or an actor, this is what happens when your own status isn't high enough. If our producer were Zhang Dahuzi from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' that 'literary consultant' definitely wouldn't have been like this," Li Xuan joked.

"That's true."

At this moment, Cui Peng looked at Li Xuan and smiled.

"Alright, let's have a drink. I hope we can work together again next time, Monk Wuhua. A toast to you."

Originally, Cui Peng paused, intending to address Li Xuan as 'Chu Liuxiang'.

But after thinking about it carefully, I still said it.

Cheers, Gulong.

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then raised his glass as well.

Cheers, Monk Wuhua!

It seems that, Mr. Gu Long, I am not the only one who understands you.

Great.

After filming wrapped, Li Xuan packed his things and prepared to return to Beiping. After filming "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", he now has the lead role in two TV series.

One in literature and one in martial arts.

One is an art film, the other is a commercial film.

There's also "To Live" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang." As for sitcoms like "Home with Kids," which are filmed and released simultaneously, the episodes they filmed have already been released. According to Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen in the QQ group, their distant cousins ​​are all inquiring about this male god.

As expected, he's overworked and handsome.

It only attracts male compatriots.

Of course, this was something we already knew about.

After finishing filming this project, Li Xuan felt he needed to rest and recuperate for a while.
Next, all that's left is to wait for the release of "The Myth". Li Xuan has also received a notification from the production team that promotional activities are already underway - but at the same time, there is another notification.

Anonymous, you can sing the theme song of "The Myth"!

Oh dear, I've been recognized.

They originally wanted Sung Si-ryong to sing, but it seems that Sung Si-ryong and Kim Sun-hee didn't quite capture the feeling of the song, so there was no point in continuing the recording.

So this matter was left to Meng Yi and Yu Shu. Hopefully, it will be alright.
Cheng Shilong should mainly focus on the film itself and the battle for publicity and promotion; that's what he really needs to worry about.

Li Xuan is also quite interested in this "Myth", after all, he can be considered half a male lead? Jack Dragon's past life was a great general of the Qin Dynasty, a combination of Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

I want to elevate my status in film, to become the male lead, to play a major role, starting with this commercially oriented project, "The Myth".

"Will you sing with General Meng Yi?"

At that moment, Kim Sun-hee, far away on the peninsula, immediately put aside the drama series she was selecting when she heard her manager say those words.

When will we fly to China?

"Um, we also need to book plane tickets."

"Let's do it as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh."

The manager looked at Kim Sun-hee with a strange expression. The behavior of the number one beauty of the peninsula was a bit off. She had sung in mainland China before, even with Sung Si-yong, but her reaction had never been as strangely enthusiastic as it was now.

This feeling.

It's so hard to guess what they're thinking!
In fact, the agent also found it somewhat unbelievable. Cheng Shilong, a top-tier actor in mainland China, had previously sent her some signals—signals that everyone present could understand. But Kim Sun-hee seemed to have never caught them.

In fact, 'playing dumb' is itself a form of rejection. Kim Sun-hee is no novice in the workplace; how could she not understand some of the hints?

But she also knew exactly how to refuse.

She was able to 'reject' even someone like Cheng Shilong.

So who exactly is this General Meng Yi?
At this time, filming for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had officially wrapped up.

Liu Yifei felt completely relaxed, as filming this season of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was no easy task.

The role of Little Dragon Girl is so classic, and there are many other excellent versions before her. As the latest generation of Little Dragon Girl, I bear the pressure from my predecessors.

The pressure she felt was due to the excellence of her seniors.

However, the filming was completed without any major incidents.

I felt a slight sense of relief.

As she breathed a slight sigh of relief, she wondered what kind of expression Brother Li would have if he saw her performance in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Will he praise me? Or will he have other emotions? It's a pity, it would have been better if Li Ge had played Yang Guo.

Huang Xiaoming, not far away: Sneeze!

On the other side, Yang Mi asked with slight concern.

"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"

"It's nothing," Huang Xiaoming said, wiping his nose. "Well, I guess I'm a bit relaxed now that filming's wrapped up."

"Take care of yourself, Brother Yang Guo."

"Hmm~~ Okay, my dear Guo Xiang."

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming used his particularly standard deep voice, which sounded especially like a CEO and especially cool.

Yang Mi chuckled contentedly, listening to her brother Yang Guo speak. Her goal had been achieved—her face would naturally secrete oil, eliminating the need for cosmetics.

We use natural facial oil, which is secreted by ourselves, and that's fine.

This is the most amazing thing about 'Brother Yang Guo': listening to him speak is like taking care of your skin. So, apart from Liu Yifei, actresses all like to come and talk to Huang Xiaoming.

However, what also made Yang Mi slightly jealous was...

This 'Little Dragon Girl' really doesn't need skincare, right?
