Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

On the set of "The Empress of China," in the actors' rest area, Jiang Chengyu only had real contact with these three people.

The remaining people were people I knew but had never met.

For example, Zhang Fengyi, Zhou Haimei, Zhang Xinyu...

After greeting everyone and exchanging a few awkward words with Janine Chang and Zhang Ting, Jiang Chengyu couldn't stay in the actors' rest area any longer.

In fact, if these three people met one-on-one, Jiang Chengyu would have plenty to talk about.

But the three of them sitting together... Jiang Chengyu felt extremely awkward.

"Well, I'm going to check on Bingbing's filming. You guys continue to rest."

As he spoke, Jiang Chengyu escaped from the area covered by the sunshade.

Then, led by Fan Bingbing's assistant, they headed to the filming location.

As Jiang Chengyu walked to the edge of the scene and looked up, he was stunned.

Fan Bingbing was a secondary reason; the main reason he was restrained was Li Zhiting.

His portrayal of the emperor...

Let's start with the scene.

Jiang Chengyu didn't know exactly what scenes they were filming.

However, visually, it appears that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian stand side by side on a high platform, receiving the homage of civil and military officials.

Historically, the life of Emperor Li Zhi has been subject to mixed reviews.

But one thing is certain.

That is, during his reign, he was a powerful emperor from beginning to end.

Although Li Zhi was in power for a period of time, Wu Zetian had already begun to participate in politics during the middle of his reign.

Even later, after Wu Zetian truly seized power, Li Zhi could have taken it back if he really wanted to.

Therefore, with two emperors ruling together, the sun and moon shone brightly, and Li Zhi always held the dominant power!

Judging from the effect of Li Zhiting's performance...

How could he portray an emperor?

Ignoring the dragon robe, it's more believable that he was Fan Bingbing's eunuch than the emperor!

Visually, Li Zhi's character aura was completely overshadowed by Wu Zetian, played by Fan Bingbing.

Jiang Chengyu was shocked.

Although you can tell from the title.

This is a female-centric drama centered around Empress Wu Zetian.

But if Li Zhi is portrayed like this, will the audience really accept it?

Just as I was wondering, a shout of "Cut!" came from the director's direction.

"Ten-minute break, props team, set up the scene, quick!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the originally serious scene instantly came alive.

The actors scattered and left the set, while the crew members from the surrounding production crews swarmed into the set.

Jiang Chengyu moved against the flow of people toward Fan Bingbing's location, quickened his pace, and deliberately spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"Fan Bingbing, I really love your portrayal of Jin Suo. Could you give me an autographed photo?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Bingbing subconsciously frowned slightly, then quickly regained her composure and slowly turned around in the direction from which the sound came.

Fan Bingbing's costume and headdress were so heavy that she couldn't turn her neck, she could only turn her head.

Li Zhiting, who was walking alongside him, quickly turned his head.

"Ah, you...you're that...you're Sister Bingbing's friend!"

Please forgive someone who grew up in Canada, attended secondary school on Hong Kong Island, and grew up studying in the UK.

He genuinely didn't know Jiang Chengyu.

The fact that you can recognize Jiang Chengyu's face is probably thanks to the deep bond he has with Fan Bingbing that has lasted for more than ten years.

Hearing Li Zhiting's exclamation, Fan Bingbing turned around a little faster.

Upon seeing Jiang Chengyu's face, Fan Bingbing's slightly serious expression instantly blossomed into a smile.

That smile in that instant was breathtakingly beautiful.

Subconsciously taking two steps forward and hugging Jiang Chengyu's arm, Fan Bingbing said cheerfully.

"Why are you here?"

"When did you arrive?"

Why didn't you tell me?

Jiang Chengyu raised an eyebrow: "I'm not going to tell you."

"Annoying!"

Fan Bingbing lightly punched Jiang Chengyu, then quickly introduced the two people next to her to each other.

"Jiang Chengyu, this is Li Zhiting, the male lead of our drama."

"He's become quite popular these past two years."

"This isn't your time anymore."

Hearing the introduction, Li Zhiting smiled and extended his hand.

"Hello, I am Li Zhiting."

"Don't listen to what Sister Bingbing says, I'm not that good."

Jiang Chengyu also extended his hand politely and said, "Don't be modest, I've seen your movies and TV dramas, they're very good."

Fan Bingbing patted Jiang Chengyu on the shoulder: "Stop praising each other, let me introduce myself."

"Li Zhiting, this person's name is Jiang Chengyu."

"She is my best friend."

"He used to be an actor, a very famous one."

"Back then, he had a nickname: the nation's white moonlight."

"It's no longer viable; it's collapsed."

"His main job now is doing business, and he's very wealthy."

"And he's also a singer; the song you heard recently, 'Just Once,' was sung by him."

Upon hearing Fan Bingbing's introduction of Jiang Chengyu, the feigned politeness on Li Zhiting's face gradually disappeared, replaced by genuine amazement.

"Oh, I was wondering why your name sounded so familiar."

"You, whom I searched for on the music app."

"Your songs are all so good, but why are there so few?"

Li Zhiting's question accurately hit the nail on the head.

Whether the reason was real or fabricated, Jiang Chengyu was too embarrassed to tell anyone.

Li Zhiting has high emotional intelligence.

Jiang Chengyu's expression was the best answer to his question.

Li Zhiting immediately changed the question.

"What kind of business do you run? How come you're so rich?"

Jiang Chengyu and Fan Bingbing both didn't quite understand this problem.

If you have money, just say you have money. What do you mean by "that much money"?

When asked the question, Li Zhiting's answer was hilarious.

"The person who said you're rich is Fan Bingbing!"

"If Sister Bingbing can say you're rich, then you must be very rich."

After saying that, Jiang Chengyu and Fan Bingbing looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"That's right, Sister Bingbing is indeed very authoritative."

"But you guessed wrong. I only have a little money, not that much money."

Li Zhiting chuckled twice and said, "Then you guys chat, I have something to do."

Fan Bingbing replied, "Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll be there in a bit."

After Li Zhiting left, Fan Bingbing began to complain.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming sooner?

"You should have said so earlier, I could have flirted with the director!"

"My main event is coming up next, you'll have to wait a while."

Jiang Chengyu didn't care: "Then let's wait."

"It's quite interesting to watch you perform live from the sidelines."

Fan Bingbing shook her head: "Are you crazy? The sun's so bright!"

"Find my assistant in a bit and have her take you to the actors' rest area."

"The crew has set up a sunshade for us. Go wait for me there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu's expression turned solemn, and he shook his head resolutely: "I'm not going."

Fan Bingbing sensed something was wrong: "What's going on?"

"Your reaction isn't normal."

Jiang Chengyu didn't expect that Fan Bingbing could see through the clues at a glance.

However, there was no need for her to hide this matter.

Jiang Chengyu immediately explained the cause and effect of his relationship with these three people.

After listening, Fan Bingbing looked surprised: "That's it?"

Fan Bingbing clearly wanted to say something, but changed her words at the end.

"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore."

"I need to touch up my makeup over there, can you help me?"

Fan Bingbing said she didn't care, but she didn't really care.

Before filming, she specially asked her assistant to move her chair to the side of the set for Jiang Chengyu to sit on.

After filming began, Jiang Chengyu sat on the sidelines watching the show.

But as he looked around, he discovered a big problem.

But seeing the normal expressions on the faces of those around him, he couldn't say anything, so he could only silently put on his sunglasses and pretend to look straight ahead.
