Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

When Bai Lu returned from Macau, her voice was hoarse, which resulted in her voice being hoarse throughout the recording of the new episode of "Running Man".

He's bad at the game but loves to play!

"Lulu, what's wrong with your throat?" Song Yuqi asked with concern.

"Well... I went to Macau a couple of days ago, and the journey was tiring, so I caught a cold," Bai Lu replied seriously.

"Haha, your voice is even deeper than mine now." Song Yuqi grinned.

White Dew: ...

Little sister, you don't understand my happiness!

After laughing for a while, Song Yuqi finally stopped laughing and said with a longing look, "I saw a video of you guys having a meal with Brother Xiaoyan. I'm so envious. I haven't seen Brother Xiaoyan in so long."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes darted around, and she asked, "What, do you have feelings for Brother Yan?"

"I'm a huge fan of Xiaoyan, and besides, what girl doesn't like Xiaoyan?" Song Yuqi blushed.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Next time I have time, how about I take you to visit Brother Xiao Yan on set?"

"Okay!" Song Yuqi happily cupped Bai Lu's face in her hands. "Lulu, you're so great! Come here, give me a kiss, mua..."

"Okay, okay, you've got my face covered in saliva, and my makeup is ruined."

……

"What are you grinning about?"

On the way back from Macau, Jiang Peiyao looked at Wang Yinglu speechlessly.

Ever since I told her that Brother Xiaoyan brought her back last night and carried her back to her room, this girl has become like this.

"Sister Peiyao, Brother Xiaoyan hugged me! Just thinking about it makes me happy," Wang Yinglu chuckled dreamily, then looked regretful. "Alas, it's a pity I was drunk and can't remember anything. I should have drunk more."

"Alright, if you weren't drunk, would Brother Yan have hugged you?" Jiang Peiyao rolled her eyes.

That girl got off easy; I should have known she was drunk last night too.

Sigh, I regret it so much. If only I had been a little bolder last night...

"Oh, right?" Wang Yinglu chuckled, resting her chin on her hand. "Oh dear, I don't know when I'll be able to see Brother Xiaoyan again. Sister Peiyao, I'm so envious of you. You're going to be filming with Brother Xiaoyan soon and you can see him every day."

Hearing Wang Yinglu say that, Jiang Peiyao was in a much better mood, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up: "Oh, it's alright now."

Wang Yinglu clung to Jiang Peiyao's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Peiyao, I'll come visit you on set sometime."

"Okay." Jiang Peiyao nodded.

She didn't even bother to expose Wang Yinglu; was she trying to visit her on set?

However, young girls these days are very bold, which is something she should learn from.

……

After returning to the capital and staying at home for two more days, Gu Zhiyan set off for Shanghai.

The majority of the film was shot in a replica of Nanjing City built at the Shanghai Film Park, rather than on location in the old city of Nanjing.

Only a few exterior shots and establishing scenes were filmed in Nanjing; the main scenes were all filmed in Chedun, Shanghai.

Adapted from the true story of Luo Jin and Wu Xuan risking their lives to preserve photos of the Japanese army's massacre in Nanjing, the story is set after Nanjing fell to the Japanese in December 1937. With the Jixiang Photo Studio on Gongyuan Street as its central stage, it tells the tragic story of a group of ordinary people from the lower classes who went from struggling to survive to using film as a weapon to desperately preserve evidence of the Japanese invasion.

The film was shot with considerable restraint, avoiding gore and focusing on the fears, struggles, and awakenings of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, even so, when this movie was released in my previous life, it still faced a large number of complaints, citing reasons such as "bloody violence, promotion of hatred, and distortion of history".

The movie only shows a tiny fraction of the reality; the actual situation was far more bloody, brutal, and inhumane.

It goes without saying what kind of people these whistleblowers are, and some even advised the Chinese people to be magnanimous and forgive their petty whistleblowers.

Advising someone to be magnanimous is a sin that will be struck by lightning!

No one has the right to casually say "forgive" to dispel those unspeakable sufferings!

Though separated by mountains and rivers, we are irreconcilable enemies; the hatred between families and the nation will never be forgotten!

The main actors in this film are mostly familiar faces. In addition to Gao Ye and Jiang Peiyao, there are Wang Chuanjun, Wang Xiao, Yang Haoyu, and Yang Enyou, who plays Gu Zhiyan's "daughter".

Oh, in this drama, the little girl "betrayed" and became Wang Xiao's daughter.

Gu Zhiyan plays the postman Achang, who is the soul of the entire story of "Nanjing Photo Studio".

To save his life, he impersonated a photo studio developing worker, developing photos for the Japanese army, and sheltered a group of Chinese soldiers and civilians, turning the photo studio into a temporary refuge.

But faced with the brutal atrocities committed by the Japanese army, Achang risked his life to safely transfer the refugees and expose the evidence of the massacre to the public.

Revisiting this history again still leaves one feeling heavy and breathless. The entire crew was in a state of deep empathy and high tension during filming.

Especially for the more emotional actresses, they get so immersed in their roles that they often "break down" during filming and end up crying.

Gu Zhiyan took on the role of "firefighter," comforting one person after another, and soothing both the older and younger ones.

Damn, he felt the director should pay him extra.

Director: Hehe, the capable should do more. Who told you, Brother Yan, to be so good at charming women!

She truly deserves to be recognized as a "friend of female celebrities" in the industry.

Gu Zhiyan: ...

At these times, the director, the crew, and the male actors would all discreetly and tacitly leave the set.

Gu Zhiyan was utterly speechless. These people are really...

Inability to vomit.

"Okay, stop crying. If your eyes get swollen, you won't be pretty."

Gu Zhiyan patted Jiang Peiyao on the back, who was hugging him and sobbing.

"Brother Xiaoyan, give me a kiss and I'll stop crying." Jiang Peiyao looked up at Gu Zhiyan, her eyes filled with tears.

"Smack."

Gu Zhiyan lowered his head and gently kissed Jiang Peiyao's forehead.

He couldn't bear to see a pretty girl cry, and this request wasn't unreasonable, so he decided to give her a kiss.

Jiang Peiyao immediately stopped crying and started laughing, but she didn't let go of Gu Zhiyan's hand.

Gu Zhiyan said, "Alright, alright, relax. The next scene is about to start, and the person will be here soon."

This girl really likes to take advantage of him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peiyao reluctantly let go of her hand.

Oh, I wish I could just keep hugging Xiaoyan forever!
