Entertainment News: This Best Actor's acting range is so narrow it's enviable.

The new Chu Liuxiang, starring Ren Xianqi, recently finished filming and is currently in post-production. It is still missing an opening theme song and an ending theme song.

The production team had only one requirement: the theme song had to be sung by Ren Xianqi. It didn't matter who wrote the song, as long as the quality was acceptable.

Ren Xianqi originally wanted to find Xiao Chong, but Xiao Chong was also in charge of the OST for "Storm Riders" and was unable to do so.

Upon hearing that Jiang Feng wanted to write a theme song for a TV series, Ren Xianqi immediately and enthusiastically told Jiang Feng about his requirements for the theme song.

"The theme song for a martial arts drama should mainly highlight the themes of chivalry, romance, and vengeance, and also fit the character of Chu Liuxiang."

At this point, Ren Xianqi asked Jiang Feng:

Have you seen "Chu Liuxiang"?

Jiang Feng nodded, "I've read them all. I've read Gu Long's original novel, as well as Di Long's movie version and Zheng Shaoqiu's TV series version."

"That makes things easier."

Ren Xianqi laughed and said, "Chu Liuxiang is a dashing and unrestrained hero. The theme song should highlight his image and personality as much as possible, and also fit my style."

When it came to his dashing and debonair manner, even he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Jiang Feng wanted to laugh, but felt it wasn't appropriate, so he forced himself to hold it in. The slight upturn of his lips was harder to suppress than an AK.

"Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want to."

Ren Xianqi didn't care.

Jiang Feng laughed and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Brother Qi..."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Ren Xianqi laughed self-deprecatingly, "Everyone says my appearance isn't suitable for playing Chu Liuxiang, and actually, even I think so myself."

Since Ren Xianqi became famous, he has played heroic figures like Yang Guo and Linghu Chong, which has led to ridicule from many viewers who say he is the ugliest Yang Guo and Linghu Chong. Even the official TV series production team has made jokes about it.

Take "The Return of the Condor Heroes" for example. In other versions, when Yang Guo took off his mask, Guo Xiang was stunned. She was so captivated by Yang Guo that she was doomed to be unfaithful for life.

However, when Ren Xianqi's version of Yang Guo took off his mask, Guo Xiang said, "How ugly!"

Official criticism is the most lethal.

"Brother Qi, the fact that the production company cast you in these roles is enough to prove your popularity and strength. In my opinion, talent is far more important than looks."

Jiang Feng offered Ren Xianqi a few words of comfort with high emotional intelligence.

"You don't need to comfort me, I've already let it go."

Ren Xianqi was very easygoing and asked Jiang Feng why he wanted to sing the theme song for the TV series.

"I think singing theme songs can earn me money and give me the opportunity to act, so it's a win-win situation..."

After listening to Jiang Feng's words, Ren Xianqi solemnly said:

"When I first started out, I had the same thoughts as you. As someone who's been there, I must remind you: be very careful when looking for production teams, and beware of being scammed. I'm a living example..."

Ren Xianqi recounted his experience with Bai Piao.

"Once, a producer asked me to sing a theme song on the condition that I act in the film for free. I agreed. Then a director asked me to act in the film for free. I agreed again. But when I joined the crew, I found out that they were the same crew. I ended up acting in the film for free and singing the theme song for free."

Jiang Feng felt deep sympathy for Ren Xianqi's tragic fate and thought to himself that he should be more careful in the future.

"There's still some time before the TV series airs, so take your time writing, no rush."

Ren Xianqi greatly admired Jiang Feng's creative talent.

"Your song 'The Gale Sweeps Across the Clouds' is quite good. If it's at this level, there's absolutely no problem."

That being said, Ren Xianqi and Xiao Chong both had some doubts about whether Jiang Feng could still write songs of this caliber.

The music industry is full of creators who are only popular for a short time, exhausting their talent and luck with just one song.

"Okay, I'll send it to you to take a look after I finish writing it."

Jiang Feng, Ren Xianqi, and Xiao Chong exchanged phone numbers.

……

Two days later, Jiang Feng went to Zhuozhou Film and Television City in Hebei Province to participate in the audition for "A Step into the Past".

"A Step into the Past" is TVB's first TV series filmed on location in mainland China, and it is currently being filmed at Zhuozhou Film City.

Upon learning that Jiang Feng had auditioned for the TV series "A Step into the Past," Cui Peng, Dong Xuan, and Guan Yue were once again shocked, feeling both envious and genuinely happy for him.

Jiang Feng also brought along the notes that Dong Xuan had compiled for him, intending to look at them whenever he had time.

He was no stranger to Zhuozhou Film City, because he was from Langfang, Hebei Province, and Zhuozhou was right next to Langfang.

It only takes an hour to get from Beijing to Zhuozhou by public bus.

Soon, Jiang Feng arrived at Zhuozhou Film City and went directly to the set of "A Step into the Past".

The staff stopped him outside.

After Jiang Feng introduced himself and explained his purpose, assistant director Liang Guobing led him inside.

Director Tsai Ching-sheng and producer Chuang Wei-kin are currently filming.

Jiang Feng waited patiently on the side, while observing the performances of the male lead, Gu Tianle, and the female lead, Xuanxuan.

Needless to say, Gu Tianle will definitely play the male lead, Xiang Shaolong.

As for who Xuanxuan played, Jiang Feng wasn't quite sure, because there were many female leads in the original novel of "A Step into the Past," and he didn't know which one Xuanxuan was playing.

"Okay, that's enough. Everyone, you've worked hard, take a break."

After filming a scene, director Tsai Ching-sheng noticed Jiang Feng beside him and asked in somewhat broken Mandarin:

"You're the Jiang Feng that Xu Jinliang recommended, right?"

"Yes, Director Tsai."

Jiang Feng spoke in Cantonese.

Do you speak Cantonese?

Cai Jingsheng was very surprised.

"Yes, I have taught myself Cantonese."

Cai Jingsheng and the producer Zhuang Weijian beside him exchanged a glance, and they couldn't help but feel more admiration for Jiang Feng.

These days, there aren't many young actors willing to learn Cantonese on their own.

This at least shows that Jiang Feng is a very ambitious person.

Have you read the original novel of "A Step into the Past"?

"I've read it, and I really like this novel."

Cai Jingsheng and Zhuang Weijian were even happier to hear that Jiang Feng had read the original novel of "A Step into the Past".

Producer Chong Wai-kin asked with a smile, "Which character do you like the most?"

"A Step into the Past" was produced under a producer-centric system, with producer Chuang Wai-kin wielding more power than director Tsai Ching-sheng.

Jiang Feng answered without thinking:

"My favorite is Ji Yanran."

"I'm asking which male character you like the most. Besides, Ji Yanran isn't even in our show."

Ji Yanran isn't there?

Jiang Feng was stunned. Ji Yanran was the female lead! How could she not be there?

It seems this adaptation of "A Step into the Past" has been heavily modified.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"My favorite character is Zhao Pan, also known as Ying Zheng."

Zhuang Weijian and Cai Jingsheng laughed.

"This role has a lot of screen time, and it's already been given to Lin Feng, so it's impossible for you to get it."

"I know."

Jiang Feng was self-aware enough to know that the main roles in TVB's anniversary dramas would definitely be played by TVB actors, and it was impossible for him, a nobody from the mainland, to get a role.

"Director Tsai, what role am I auditioning for?"

"Didn't Director Xu tell you?"

"no."

"That old Xu, really, why didn't he tell you..."

Cai Jingsheng coughed lightly, "The role we want you to try is Lao Ai."

"Lao Ai? The Wheel-Turning King Lao Ai?"

Jiang Feng subconsciously looked down at his clone, and a sense of pride welled up within him.

Of all the people in the world, only I am capable of playing this role.
