Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The production team of "Sisters Who Make Waves" invited Gu Zhiyan to serve as a witness to the formation of the group.

Before the show aired, no one could guarantee it would be a hit.

If Gu Zhiyan could participate in this program, her popularity would be off the charts.

If Gu Zhiyan agrees, this will be his first regular variety show appearance, and the level of popularity will be unimaginable.

The production team had a great idea, but unfortunately Gu Zhiyan rejected it.

The reason was similar to why he refused "Blossoms Shanghai"—he didn't have the time.

Moreover, the thought of dealing with thirty women over thirty years old made him want to back out.

There are more women than problems.

The sight of so many women gathered together is unimaginable.

What was broadcast after editing was only the tip of the iceberg.

His charm is so great, it would be terrible if something happened between them.

Gu Zhiyan was planning to settle down and cultivate her character.

Yeah, unless I can't help it.

Clearly, he resisted the temptation this time.

So this good thing ultimately benefited Xiaoming.

……

In early June, Gu Zhiyan went to Xiangshan Film and Television City in Zhejiang Province, where filming for "The Sword and the Snow" will begin.

"Where is Brother Yan?" Sister Meng asked.

As soon as the opening ceremony ended, she discovered that Xiao Yan Ge had disappeared.

"I don't know, they just disappeared in the blink of an eye." Chen shook his head.

"I just saw Xiaoyan leave with the original author," Zhu Xudan said.

Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement: "I saw it too."

In the TV series "The Sword and the Brocade", Gu Zhiyan has cast quite a few young ladies.

We should keep the good stuff within the family.

Aside from Li Chun, Zhang Tianai, and Sister Meng, whose roles were secured by their company, Gu Zhiyan exerted some effort to get the other actresses cast.

The competition for female roles in TV dramas starring Gu Zhiyan is extremely fierce.

Zhu Xudan plays Shu Xiu.

The character Shu Xiu is charming, cunning, lively, and a little mischievous, with the feel of a witch from the martial arts world.

Zhu Xudan has a captivating and alluring appearance, neither rustic nor vulgar. Her eyes are mesmerizing and full of spirit, and she exudes a femme fatale charm in period costumes.

Shu Xiu is not a naive and innocent girl; she is clever, quick-witted, and good at pretending.

Zhu Xudan is very good at playing characters who are clever and cunning.

Chen Yao plays the role of Qingniao.

Yao Mei has an innate aloofness; when she's not smiling, she exudes a sense of detachment, perfectly matching Qing Niao's quiet, indifferent, and composed temperament.

Her bone structure is sharp and heroic; she doesn't have a soft, feminine face. She can handle gun-wielding action scenes and looks incredibly dashing.

The most crucial thing about Qingniao is that while she appears cold as ice on the surface, she only recognizes Xu Fengnian in her heart.

Yao Mei is very good at playing characters who are reserved, loyal, and somewhat broken.

Qingniao isn't the glamorous type; she's an attractive, cool, and pure beauty, just like Yaomei.

The role of Yu Youwei was given to Cheng Xiao.

Yu Youwei, nicknamed "Spring and Autumn Milk Armor," is a perfect match for Cheng Xiao.

As for her acting skills, Gu Zhiyan is quite skilled at training actresses, and besides, her role isn't very big, so he can just work on it slowly.

The role of Xu Weixiong is played by Bai Lu.

When Bai Lu doesn't smile, she exudes a cool, aloof, and commanding presence, perfectly capturing the unapproachable and intimidating aura of Xu Weixiong.

Well, the key is that she shouldn't laugh, because it's really funny when she does.

This shouldn't be a problem for Bai Lu, as she has already acted in several TV series.

In addition to the ladies mentioned above, Li Yitong also made a cameo appearance as Wang Chudong.

She's now a top-tier actress in the second tier, so she could theoretically compete for the lead role in this TV series, but unfortunately, her sweet temperament isn't quite right for her.

Li Yitong didn't mind; her girlfriends were all there, and she happened to be available, so she decided to join in the fun.

The production team was naturally very happy to have her play a small supporting role, and there was no need for Gu Zhiyan to ask her to do so.

However, Li Yitong still managed to get in through Gu Zhiyan's connections, not for herself, but for a friend she had only recently met.

In her words, the two had an excellent relationship, hit it off immediately, and were like sisters.

Gu Zhiyan naturally helped with this small favor whenever he could. When Li Yitong mentioned her best friend's name, a top-tier "sweet girl" face immediately popped into his mind.

Tian Xiwei is a strong and generous girl.

So it was her! No wonder Li Yitong said they hit it off immediately.

Is this what bonds are?

Tian Xiwei's role is Jia Jiajia, hehe girl.

She's quite suitable for this role; she's the epitome of a round-faced sweet girl, with an innocent and harmless smile, but her eyes can turn cold in an instant, creating a perfect contrast between sweetness and ruthlessness.

Hehe Girl is a character with a sweet face, a crazy heart, and a smile that hides a knife.

Besides the young ladies in the cast of "The Sword and the Brocade," Gu Zhiyan has many acquaintances in the cast, including many people from the "Joy of Life" series.

For example, Li Xiaoran made a cameo appearance as Princess Pei Nanwei of Jing'an.

Gu Zhiyan chatted with her for a few minutes before the opening ceremony.

Li Xiaoran told Gu Zhiyan that the main reason she came to play this role was so that he could "leave with his legs crossed."

Gu Zhiyan: ...

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran also knew this meme, and I was teased by her without even realizing it.

However, he didn't care too much. Back when they were filming "Joy of Life," she and Xin Zhilei had teased him quite a bit.

Wang Yanlin, Gu Zhiyan's good friend, plays Wen Hua, Xu Fengnian's good brother, who says, "I would exchange my brother for my brother, and dare to laugh at Huanglong for not being a true man."

Upon meeting, Wang Yanlin gave Gu Zhiyan a thumbs up: "Brother Yan, you're awesome, I admire you!"

"Standard procedure, no need for '6'." Gu Zhiyan said calmly.

He naturally understood what Wang Yanlin was talking about. It was just that he had brought so many young ladies into the same film crew. It wasn't the first time he had done something like this, it was just that there were a lot of people this time.

Not only are several of the actresses playing supporting roles from our own side, but the female lead is also from our own side.

Chen Duling plays the female lead, Jiang Ni.

Jiang Ni, a princess of the fallen Western Chu Kingdom, became a maid in the Northern Liang royal palace after the fall of her kingdom and the destruction of her family.

Cold, stubborn, fragile, beautiful yet tragic, with an inherent sense of melancholy.

She appears delicate but is resilient inside; she's not a sweet girl, but a cool and aloof little white flower.

Chen Duling possesses an innate "cold and broken" and "white moonlight" temperament, which perfectly matches the background of Jiang Ni, the princess of a fallen kingdom, and her resilient and stubborn personality.

Moreover, Chen Duling's ancient costume has a very classical beauty.

Once she puts on the costume, dressed simply, with light makeup and holding a sword, she is Jiang Ni herself!

There's no need to worry about Chen Duling's acting skills; she can definitely hold her own.

Given Chen Duling's background and resources, it would be very difficult for her to land this role; her competitors are top-tier figures in the Beijing entertainment circle.

However, with Gu Zhiyan's strong support, that's not a problem.

If he is not satisfied with the choice of the female lead, the production team will immediately have to find a new actress with just one word.

The "Beijing Circle Princess" thing is no big deal at all.

Let alone the production team of "The Sword and the Brocade", any production team that wants Gu Zhiyan to star will ask for his opinion first: Look, is so-and-so okay as the female lead?

Gu Zhiyan is such a big shot now!
