Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

Jiang Yang wasn't talking nonsense.

After filming wrapped on "Si Teng", he did indeed rejoin the cast and crew of "Legend of Lu Zhen".

"have not seen you for a long time."

Almost a year had passed since the filming, and everyone felt a mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

When "Legend of Lu Zhen" aired on Hunan TV, it was a must-do for the show's promotional appearances on "Happy Camp." A total of six main actors appeared, consisting of three men and three women.

The male lead is Chen Xiao, the second male lead is Jiang Yang, and the third male lead is Qiao Renliang.

The latter was originally supposed to play the second male lead, but because that brat gave Jiang Yang more screen time and made him the second male lead, he was demoted to the third male lead, with his screen time reduced by half.

However, Qiao Renliang dared not have any complaints.

During the filming of "Legend of Lu Zhen", Chen Xiao and Jiang Yang did not get along. Even the male lead could not do anything to him, let alone Chen Xiao herself.

On the female side, the lead actress Zhao Liying, the second lead actress Yang Rong, and the third lead actress Tang Yixin were all getting along well with each other.

In the drama, their respective characters are constantly at odds with each other. Off-screen, let's not talk about being best friends; their billing order was clear from the start, so there's nothing to argue about.

If we have to say something, Yang Rong is also a "victim" of Jiang Yang.

Because Jiang Yang's Shen Jiayan gained fame, Qiao Renliang's scenes as the second male lead were cut, which consequently reduced her own scenes as the second female lead.

But she didn't care about that and continued to chat and laugh with Jiang Yang.

Yang Rong actually wishes she could play fewer villainous female roles, but every time Yu Zheng gives her a role, it's always a vicious supporting female character.

She's clearly a sweet girl!

Aside from that, Zhao Liying was quite enthusiastic towards Jiang Yang, but it was the kind of enthusiasm one shows to a colleague, and there was no sign of any "old feelings" between them.

Tang Yixin remained indifferent.

This is Jiang Yang's second time appearing on "Happy Camp" with the cast of "Legend of Lu Zhen". He also joined a Korean actor named Lee Joon-gi for a variety show episode.

Damn it, how many Koreans has Hunan TV invited?

The most amazing thing is that Lee Joon-gi doesn't have any new dramas coming out recently, it's just for him to gain exposure.

This guy just retired not long ago.

Military service is a hurdle for male celebrities in South Korea because the Korean entertainment market is small with many artists, the competition is fierce, and the turnover rate is very fast. If you leave for two years, who will remember you?

He couldn't make it in his own family, so he came to China to make a comeback.

The key issue is that Lee Joon-gi's face has collapsed. It's a curse for Korean male actors—they start to develop wide jawlines after the age of thirty, and the gene for a round face becomes apparent. It might also be a side effect of plastic surgery.

Even so, a bunch of brainless fans in the audience were still shouting "Oppa, Oppa!"

Is Hunan TV a dumping ground for imported garbage?

Jiang Yang shook hands with Lee Joon-gi with a smile while complaining to his face. The latter thought he was being very polite and bowed repeatedly.

When the Korean guy appeared on a TV show, he was accompanied by a translator. The translator looked like he'd seen a ghost and chose to ignore that sentence.

The five members of the Happy Family definitely didn't hear it.

But the entire crew of "Legend of Lu Zhen" heard it, and their expressions were all quite varied.

Yang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Don't you like Koreans?"

To be precise, I don't like all sissies.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao glared at him.

Who is being implied?

Jiang Yang: Whoever identifies with this is the one who is in it.

Chen Xiao's acting style during this period was that of a "charming pretty boy". The most representative role was Lin Pingzhi in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" who practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. His eyeliner was so eye-catching that it was hard to look directly at him.

In this episode, there's also a segment where the contestant will compete with Lee Joon-gi in a cross-dressing contest.

Male actors dressed as women, tsk tsk.

Jiang Yang pushed Qiao Renliang out, on the grounds that he had never dressed as a woman.

Chen Xiao felt Jiang Yang's undisguised contempt and was furious. He was actually a straight man, but he had just jumped out of Huayi Brothers and was making money, so he wasn't ashamed of it.

Shabby, fucking shabby!

He secretly vowed never to play such a humiliating cross-dressing role again.

The two didn't get along, but they didn't publicly have any conflicts, since the factors that initially caused this situation no longer existed.

Zhao Liying remained aloof throughout, showing no interest in getting involved in the young man's pointless bickering.

She only cares about the success of "Legend of Lu Zhen".

During the game segment, there was a game similar to a pillow fight, where each player sat astride a log bridge and attacked the plastic bag tied to the top of the other's baseball cap.

Jiang Yang's opponent is Lee Joon-gi.

The latter had just won a game and was feeling smug when he was suddenly struck by an unexpected and enormous force that knocked him off the bridge.

Holy crap, are you sure this is a pillow and not a brick?

He was still dazed when he landed on his round face, but when he got up, his face was all smiles.

When playing games, winning or losing isn't important; having fun is the most important thing.

Who are you giving me attitude for?

South Korea's variety show industry developed early, and they certainly have a good sense of variety show humor, which also helped them escape unscathed.

Jiang Yang sneered.

If we go through a few more rounds, even if I'm just waving a pillow, I can slap you until your head is a pig's head, believe it or not?

That's how "Happy Camp" is going to be. After all, there aren't many opportunities for the two groups of guests to interact, and the show itself doesn't have any particularly noteworthy routines.

However, the most exciting and memorable scene from this promotional event did not appear on "Happy Camp".

Pengcheng TV has a program called "Men on the Left, Women on the Right", and the host is Li Xiang, who left "Happy Camp" and Hunan TV.

When the production crew went to record the show, there was a segment where the guests had to call familiar friends without telling them that they were recording a program.

Chen Xiaoxuan chose Yuan Shanshan.

This is Yang Mi's classmate from the 05 class at Beijing Film Academy. You know the tomato and egg drop soup, right?

That brat has been pushing her hard these past two years, casting her in dramas like "Palace 2" and "Palace 3". She's squandered resources on several of them.

By the way, she also played the female lead in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

However, audiences only know Chen Qiaoen as Dongfang Bubai, who still remembers her as Ren Yingying?

Yu Zheng was powerless to help Yuan Shanshan's physical condition.

This episode offers a glimpse into why this person can't become famous.

Chen Xiao dialed the number, and after only a few words, the other person started to act coquettishly, and you could almost smell the flirtatious air through the screen.

At this point, everyone in the studio was holding back their laughter, ready to watch the show.

Yuan Shanshan was completely unaware and became even more brazen.

Chen Xiao pretended that he was also filming in Hengdian and wanted to talk to her about a project, so he asked her to meet him at a coffee shop.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shanshan's tone became even more moist.

"Have you gotten more handsome lately?"

"You've become more handsome, quite handsome indeed."

"No, I can't see you. I'll fall in love with you if I do."

By this point, the scene had erupted in chaos.

Is this something we can hear?

Everyone had an expression of having just heard something big. Yang Rong was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. Jiang Yang, who was watching from the side, found it amusing and helped her cover it up.

"Mind your manners, Aunt Rong. You can fit a fist in your mouth right now."

Whom are you calling auntie?

Yang Rong rolled her eyes at him. Luckily, they weren't talking on their microphones; it was just a private conversation.

As for Yuan Shanshan, Chen Xiao was her colleague. I don't know what grudge he held against her, but he made the phone call and didn't even try to help her out after she got into such a mess.

In the end, it was Zhao Liying who spoke up first.

"Shanshan, it's me, Liying. We're recording a show here."

The other side was instantly stunned into a deathly silence.
