This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 129 Seven Swords, mercilessly torturing all martial arts dramas!

Although Chen Yuan verbally criticized American high-calorie foods as worthless,
However, when Chen Yuan burned off the ten or so pounds of fat he had gained in the United States over the course of a month, he was very grateful for those calories.

In addition to continuing to adjust the proportions of Binbin's thighs and calves, Chen Yuan also appropriately added some fat cells to her buttocks.

Body fat can be considered as a whole. It's not like if you exercise your waist, the fat on your waist will be burned first. To lose weight, you lose weight all over. To gain weight, you gain weight in your face and belly at the same time.

Some people have a very slim figure but large breasts, or a very perky butt. Without a doubt, there is a 99% chance that they have had implants or plastic surgery.

However, with the help of this magical cheat, Chen Yuan can actually make his women defy the laws of biology and possess supermodel-level figures.

After stretching his muscles and bones, Chen Yuan took a shower and found Changchang watching TV in the living room with the volume turned up very high. It was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," which had only started airing after the Spring Festival.

Chen Yuan felt a little embarrassed; he hadn't eaten meat for over a month, and his eating manners had been rather unrestrained.

Binbin, in order to please himself, unknowingly forgot that there were other people in the family.

But Chen Yuan, with his thick skin, sat down next to Changchang and started watching TV together, just like when they were kids.

"What do you think of this show, Sing-sing?"

"Um"

Shu Chang, who was desperately trying to hide her embarrassment, kept her eyes fixed on the large rear-projection screen. When she heard the question, she pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"It's alright, but Zhou Xun's husky voice as Huang Rong is a bit distracting."

"Haha, the choice of actress for Huang Rong with a husky voice is indeed somewhat controversial. What about the others?"

"The action scenes felt a bit perfunctory."

"You've had your tastes spoiled after watching our own company's production, 'The Legend of Seven Swords'."

In fact, director Ju Jueliang has been making martial arts dramas his entire career, and his action scenes have always been consistently excellent.

Although Chen Yuan was in the United States, he continued to read the briefings sent by the company.

The biggest flaw in this adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is that the original voices of actors like Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng are very unpleasant to listen to.
If they hadn't insisted on using the original voice and had instead used dubbing, the effect would have been much better, and there wouldn't have been so many viewers complaining about Zhou Xun's "smoky-voiced Huang Rong".

Furthermore, "Seven Swords Legend," with its almost perfect fight scenes, special effects, character design, plot pacing, costumes, and props, has since haunted the Chinese martial arts drama market like a ghost.

No matter what great director makes in the future, audiences will always compare it with "Legend of Seven Swords".

Even now, "Legend of Seven Swords" is still being broadcast repeatedly on many TV stations, and its viewership ratings remain consistently high.

Some viewers, whose tastes have become more discerning, criticized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for its slow pacing of dramatic scenes, its overly "serious" style, and its lack of the martial arts spirit and dynamism of the genre.

The future versions of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" by Su Youpeng, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" by Hu Jun, and many more martial arts dramas, whether adapted or original, will all have to accept the fate of being tortured by "The Legend of Seven Swords".

The popularity of "Legend of Seven Swords" has also spread overseas. After its broadcast in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, it has sparked a wave of drama-watching craze.
Chen Yuan has also been using the "Popularity Controller" to increase the media buzz surrounding his TV series in the local market.

His current fame in these countries is no less than that of some long-established Hong Kong stars.

The news of "Legend of Seven Swords" becoming a hit overseas has made many Chinese people proud, further enhancing the fame of Chen Yuan, Binbin, and other actors.

Many netizens are clamoring, crying, begging, and petitioning for Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin to film a sequel. Some have even come up with a plot: Ma San Niang, who is exceptionally talented, survives after being pierced through the heart by a sword. In order to seek revenge on the Seven Heroes, she plots a series of conspiracies and schemes, causing turmoil in the martial arts world once again.

However, a sequel is impossible. The success of "Seven Swords Legend" was largely due to shortcuts, and even with the added popularity of the original, a sequel would be unlikely to surpass it.

It is highly likely that Chen Yuan will no longer act in television dramas, but will instead focus on the film industry.

He no longer needs to rely on TV dramas to build up his popularity.

As for Binbin, to be honest, since she is his girlfriend, she doesn't need to act in TV dramas to maintain her popularity, based solely on her fame.

However, her work is too shallow, and there has always been a lot of controversy. Moreover, there are very few good film resources in China. If there are suitable TV series projects, or if Chen Yuan selects a good work, he will still let her participate.

After 40 days in theaters, "Hero" achieved a staggering box office of 2.5 million RMB, almost doubling the earnings of "Kung Fu Panda".

The online arguments between Chen Yuan's fans and Zhang Yimou's supporters have never stopped.

Now, Zhang Yimou's supporters especially hope that "Hero" can also be as successful as "Kung Fu Panda" and surpass this fraudulent animated film in overseas box office.

But this might disappoint them.
Chen Yuan recalls that Harvey Weinstein was the one who handled the distribution of "Hero," and he deliberately postponed the overseas release date of "Hero" by two years.
The movie was only shown in theaters after the DVD of "Heroes" had already been released in North America.

However, there is no doubt that Zhang Yimou is the best director in China. Now, Chen Yuan's fans are looking forward to his Hollywood blockbuster being released soon so that it can defeat Zhang Yimou!
Metaverse currently has three main projects: a TV series and a film by Tsui Hark, which has received a large investment.

Filming for "Detective Dee" was completed before the Lunar New Year, and it is currently being edited and put into post-production.

Filming for "Meteor Shower" began in January. This type of idol drama is relatively easy to film, and the production team was welcomed and supported by the local government. Filming will be completed in less than a month.

Filming for "The Story of a Female Physician" started last November, and now only some location shots remain.

For the next six months, apart from "The Edge Walker," all other projects in the Metaverse will remain in the initial planning stages.

Because the pneumonia outbreak is getting worse and worse, although the World Health Organization has not officially named it SARS, it should be proposed soon.

Although we know that this serious infectious disease will not last long and will disappear by July of this year, it is still hard to bear experiencing something like this again from a future generation.

Chen Yuan has already had a batch of epidemic prevention supplies, such as masks, disinfectant alcohol, and disposable protective suits, purchased.
He also ordered a batch of ventilators and testing equipment from overseas, which are crucial medical devices for dealing with the disease, and plans to donate them as an emergency measure if the situation worsens.

Given this situation, the preparation for "The Edge Walker" will definitely be affected, but the main work in the early stages is visual design, creating a 'realistic' Night City.

The specific tasks include creating the city's structural appearance, various prosthetic modifications, firearm and vehicle modifications, and Sony's various subtle product placements and advertisements.

These design tasks can also be completed in the United States. Chen Yuan will send the company's personnel to the United States in advance to avoid imposing any restrictions after the situation becomes serious.

However, the construction of the China Film Digital Base in China may be slightly affected, and some set design work may be delayed, but these are minor inconveniences that can be adjusted and overcome.

After resting for a day and having Changchang cook him a big meal, Chen Yuan went with her to Qiongzhou to visit the crew of "The Legend of the Female Physician".

The historical drama "The Legend of the Healer" is different from "The Legend of Seven Swords". It has many named characters and a large cast of actors.

It includes both well-known and highly praised veteran actors in the industry, as well as young newcomers selected through open auditions.

Chen Yuan was surprised to discover that Liu Tao, the "holy body of a married woman," was also in his film crew!
