The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 437 Conflict
After these two, Gai Lili will make a guest appearance as Cheng Yaojia, Jiang Shan as Master Shengyin, Deng Jie as Sun Bu'er, and Yu Xiaohui as Ying Gu. In other words, He Qing had already played Bao Xiruo before. The relationship between The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Legend of the Condor Heroes is quite close, and Qiu Qianchi is too ugly. The auntie group, no, the sister group, will probably gather in the Legend of the Condor Heroes cast.

As for the others, Yan Danchen plays Lu Wushuang. There's not much to say about that. She's an artist under Sister Xiaoli's management, and it was just a side thing for her to be sent to the production team to play an important role.

The same goes for Dong Xuan, who plays Gongsun Lü'e. I heard before that she was sent to the "The Story of a Noble Family" production team by Sister Xiaoli to replace a certain Jie in the role of Leng Qingqiu. Moreover, her popularity was not much worse than that of the other actress. Now that she is playing Gongsun Lü'e, it is almost a downgrade in status.

When I was planning to have dinner with Tong Liya, she said that Dong Xuan, who was also signed with Hongchuan Media, was very similar to me and that she hoped to have dinner with her. I wonder if I will be able to get my wish this time.

Another surprise was that Wang Ou played Hong Lingbo, and the company that signed her was Yang Mi's Hanshu Film and Television.

"Besides Tangtang and Shishi, the company also needs to sign some other actors. She volunteered herself, and everyone said she looked alright, so we signed her. Then, my aunt invested in The Condor Heroes, so I recommended her for a small role." That's what Yang Mi said on the phone.

Yeah, no problem, but it feels like... Wang Ou has signed with Yang Mi's film and television company...

Never mind, this has nothing to do with Xu Jiuyang, and it seems a bit abnormal, but it's okay to ignore it.

What's truly unusual is that Zeng Li plays Cheng Ying, while Hu Jing plays Wan Yanping.

I knew it! Yuan Quan and Zhang Tong are already together, so how could Zeng Li and Hu Jing possibly escape?

Like Yuan Quan and Zhang Tong, they are signed with Li Yunxin's Jinwu Media and Angela's Mingdeng Media, respectively.

So, whether it's as he guessed or not, we'll find out in time.

Hopefully they won't bring Mei Ting and Qin Hailu here too, that would be too much, especially the latter. They may have their own unique features, but they have absolutely nothing to do with being beautiful.

As for Zhang Ziyi, there's no need to mention her. Among the two generations of Zhang Yimou's leading ladies, Gong Li is more in line with XP. Moreover, she especially likes being hung up and whipped now, which is very masochistic.

Given all this, plus Huo Siyan's simple-minded daughter, it's impossible to know how much benefit Zhang Jizhong has received. Hopefully, he'll be sensible, otherwise they might make him give it back later.

"Speaking of which, isn't it too much of a blow to Siyan to play the role of the silly girl?" Xu Jiuyang asked Fan Bingbing.

"It's just a cameo role, not an important one. What's there to be injured about?" Fan Bingbing asked, puzzled.

"Okay, as long as she's willing." Xu Jiuyang shrugged, then looked around the set and changed the subject: "How's filming going?"

“It’s not easy,” Fan Bingbing sighed. “It requires polishing each shot one by one.”

"Really? But I noticed you were filming quite quickly today." Xu Jiuyang said, somewhat surprised.

"That's because I practiced repeatedly in private." Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes at him.

"You have such a full schedule every day, and after filming you still have to look at all kinds of documents until late at night, how do you still have time to practice repeatedly?" Xu Jiuyang was even more surprised.

Fan Bingbing glared at him, looking like she was saying, "How did you know I was looking at documents late into the night?"

“Your assistant told me.” Xu Jiuyang spread his hands, and added after she opened her eyes wide, “It’s that Qin Fang. Qin Lan wouldn’t tell me these things.”

Then he asked with interest, "Does Qin Lan have some kind of problem with me? The best look she gives me is always businesslike, as if I'm some kind of..."

Xu Jiuyang suddenly got stuck.

However, Fan Bingbing asked with a hint of smugness, "What does it resemble?"

"Nothing!" Xu Jiuyang replied irritably, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Fan, give me a straight answer, what's wrong with you and Qin Lan...?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it, so what?” Fan Bingbing interrupted.

"Oh..." Xu Jiuyang drawled out, his eyes narrowing.

"What, you want to try me being with her too?" Fan Bingbing sneered. "If possible, of course I wouldn't mind, after all, the impression is too deep." Xu Jiuyang chuckled.

Fan Bingbing gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to bite him.

“However,” Xu Jiuyang’s expression turned serious again, “if that really happens, I still hope that…”

He leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

"Huh?" Fan Bingbing was taken aback for a moment, then her expression turned to a half-smile. "Because Yanzi and I look somewhat alike."

“I don’t deny that,” Xu Jiuyang said matter-of-factly. “The most important thing is that I promised her.”

“A…” Fan Bingbing almost choked on her breath, “You actually agreed to something like this?!”

“Why not? I think she really wants to do it,” Xu Jiuyang said, giving her a thumbs up. “Fan’s charm is unmatched.”

Fan Bingbing gritted her teeth again, and after a long while, she said resentfully, "You just know how to bully me!"

"It's alright, I will never force you if you don't agree." Xu Jiuyang put on a generous act.

"Alright, alright, I need to get ready." Fan Bingbing stood up with a look of disgust, took a couple of steps and then turned back, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes: "I hope that 'Chinese Paladin' will not only have good ratings but also a good reputation."

Xu Jiuyang chuckled, wanting to retort, but the other party didn't give him a chance and immediately slipped away.

“Running that fast, he obviously knows it’s impossible,” Xu Jiuyang scoffed.

However, when I actually recall it, I'm not so sure.

Specifically, the thing we were worried about finally happened: the reputation of "Falling" clashed with that of "Chinese Paladin".

The MV for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Love and Destiny" was released earlier to save time, which actually gave the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" a positive boost. As a national-level RPG game and a part of many people's youth, everyone naturally looked forward to the TV series adaptation.

The music video didn't reveal much about the plot, but the three main characters, Li Zhaolin and Anu, all made appearances, and their looks were also revealed.

Because game costumes are not suitable for theatrical production, the outfits in the game have been modified to be as close to the game's style as possible, which has naturally caused dissatisfaction among many fundamentalists.

So-called fundamentalists believe that the TV series should be exactly the same as the original game version. If it is changed, it is unacceptable, disrespectful to the original work, and a bastard.

Extreme fundamentalists don't even acknowledge the 01 version, only reading the 98 and 95 versions.

Therefore, these people were the first to launch a verbal attack online.

However, rational game fans can see the sincerity of the production team. Whether it is Li Xiaoyao played by Xu Jiuyang, Zhao Ling'er played by Liu Qianqian, Lin Yueru played by Tang Yan, or Anu played by Tong Liya, they have all quickly gained a group of fans.

Xu Jiuyang goes without saying; he's played Yang Kang, Zhang Wuji, and Duan Yu in a row. In terms of appearance, he'd be perfectly capable of playing Li Xiaoyao.

Although Liu Qianqian currently only has one character, Wang Yuyan, her portrayal of Zhao Ling'er is excellent, and she is also the singer of the theme song, so she and Zhao Ling'er have the highest level of discussion.

Although Tang Yan and Tong Liya are still relatively unknown, they have benefited a lot from their good looks.

In addition, they also discussed with great interest how some of the game's storylines would be adapted for television.

Although the fundamentalists were somewhat unhappy, they couldn't gain much influence, and their numbers dwindled.

However, things changed after "Falling" was released.
