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

Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, Sister Zhao was caught off guard and felt a tightness in her chest.

"You look great today!"

"I went to bed early yesterday."

Zhao Liying looked radiant, which Yang Rong secretly envied.

Redness really does nourish the body!

The popularity of "Legend of Lu Zhen" has been so high that it has received a lot of invitations and events recently.

Actually, some events were originally only intended for Zhao Liying and Chen Xiao, since as the male and female leads of the drama, they are the biggest beneficiaries of the show.

However, it's now common knowledge that Zhao Liying and Chen Xiao are at odds.

The event organizers were also worried that the two people might not cooperate with each other, which could lead to an awkward silence, so they decided to invite more people.

Jiang Yang and Yang Rong, as the second male and female leads, are able to get so many opportunities to participate in events, which is, in a sense, thanks to the two of them.

Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying had zero interaction.

Not a single word was spoken; there was a feigned distance, as if they were strangers meeting face to face.

Therefore, when this group of two men and two women appeared, the men walked on one side and the women on the other, giving the impression that all heterosexuals had died out.

But today, before she even appeared on stage, Sister Zhao suddenly pulled a surprise attack.

She took Jiang Yang's hand.

Eh?

Yang Rong was stunned.

No, when did you two...?

The most crucial question is, what should I do?

Poor Yang Rong almost became cannon fodder, but in the end she still managed to "team up" with Chen Xiao, and the two walked out hand in hand.

They are colleagues, and this isn't the first time they've worked together.

In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", I played the ill-fated couple, Junior Sister and Lin Pingzhi.

Chen Xiao has an eccentric temper, but he's not the type to take it out on unrelated people. He and Yang Rong have no conflict, and they're just temporarily keeping each other company so they won't be alone.

The way the four of them appeared in pairs gave the audience a fresh perspective.

Are there even such permutations and combinations?

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

Jiang Yang plays Shen Jiayan, the second male lead, who is completely devoted to the female lead, Lu Zhen.

Yang Rong plays Xiao Huanyun, the second female lead, who is also deeply in love with the male lead. She even comes up with the custom of "marrying her widowed sister-in-law after her brother's death" so that she can stay with the male lead forever.

Both were deeply in love, the latter even more so.

Their feelings weren't entirely unrequited.

Although the female protagonist, Lu Zhen, has no romantic feelings for Shen Jiayan, she is very grateful to and respects him, and they are essentially close male friends.

The male protagonist regards Xiao Huanyun as his ideal woman, and he initially became interested in Lu Zhen because Lu Zhen looks somewhat like her.

What kind of stand-in literature?

When the second female lead framed Lu Zhen in the early stages, the male lead still didn't believe that Xiao Huanyun was that kind of person.

In short, both of these pairings exist in theory.

So, is the secondary couple becoming the main couple?

Moreover, it wasn't just once; after that, in all the four-person activities, Jiang Yang and Zhao Liying holding hands, and Chen Xiao and Yang Rong holding hands, became a fixed combination.

The female lead is paired with the second male lead, and the male lead is paired with the second female lead, with the main theme being that no one is left out.

The interactions between actors can affect the audience's enthusiasm for shipping couples.

Which of these two couples is more popular?

The conclusion is obvious: the second female lead, Xiao Huanyun, is a villain, so how can the audience be drawn to her? Besides, she also has a "true love" CP, who is the third male lead, Brother Gui, played by Qiao Renliang.

Jiang Yang and Zhao Liying's high-profile relationship boosted the popularity of the second male lead.

Shen Jiayan, the perfect lover!

Within a few days, the topic became a trending topic.

The characters of the devoted second male lead are actually quite similar when you look closely, but now that "Legend of Lu Zhen" is popular, Shen Jiayan's shining points have been amplified.

The male and female leads will have emotional entanglements, misunderstandings, and stumbles along the way.

Even though the second male lead isn't needed and the whole world doubts the female lead, he still stands by her side.

Don't ask.

The answer is simple: I believe her!

In the original version, Shen Jiayan has a younger sister named Shen Jiamin, who is a villain who appears in the middle of the story.

Now that Shen Jiayan has been promoted to the second male lead and needs more screen time, Yu Zheng directly combined the characters of Shen Jiamin and Shen Bi, played by Tang Yixin. Anyway, their character settings are similar, both of them like the male lead and frame the female lead.

In this way, Shen Jiayan appears as Shen Bi's older brother in the early part of the story.

Shen Bizhuan opposes Lu Zhen, while Shen Jiayan is responsible for resolving the situation.

Even if she's my own sister, I'll still support Lu Zhen...

So tell me, do you love me or not!

The audience was deeply moved and overwhelmingly supported the couple.

Ah Zhen, forget about that heartless bastard Ah Zhan, turn around and look at Shen Jiayan!

As a huge hit drama this year, "Legend of Lu Zhen" has achieved far greater popularity than "Legend of Chu and Han," and Jiang Yang's popularity has skyrocketed.

Of course, the efforts of Zhao Liying's fans, known as "Fireflies," played a significant role in this.

Because they had already clashed with Chen Xiao's fans several times before, they were very happy to see the second male lead become popular.

The most popular character in "Legend of Lu Zhen" is Lu Zhen.

You're just taking advantage of the situation, don't you have any self-awareness?

Our Ah Zhen chose you; you are the male lead.

Now that Yingbao has chosen the second male lead, we need to elevate him to the main position!

Can Jiang Yang be helped to get back on his feet?

Upon closer inspection, it turns out there's more to uncover the more you dig.

Shen Jiayan's character is impeccable; anyone who has watched "Legend of Lu Zhen" would agree that he is the perfect match for Lu Zhen.

Jiang Yang himself was also pleasantly surprised.

At this moment, the plot happened to be showing the scene where Shen Jiayan saves the damsel in distress, and the scene of Jiang Yang kicking the knife back then immediately went viral on the entire internet.

"So cool!"

"Holy crap, is this real footage?"

"When I learned that Shen Jiayan was based on Lanling King Gao Changgong, I admit I was resistant. But from now on, this is what Gao Changgong looks like in my mind!"

"Haha, will Xiang Yu agree?"

"It has to be real footage! Chen Daoming said he personally witnessed the filming of 'The Legend of Chu and Han,' how could it be fake!"

Even Xiang Yu was brought up, which shows Jiang Yang's popularity.

Being the subject of archaeological research is a privilege reserved for those who have ascended to immortality.

Of course, "The Legend of Chu and Han" is not too ancient; it premiered less than half a year ago.

Jiang Yang became a hot topic and trended on social media, and it seemed like he was about to overturn the table for the male protagonist, Chen Xiao. Some people couldn't sit still anymore.

Yu Zheng is now extremely uncomfortable.

In "Legend of Lu Zhen", Chen Xiao and Yang Rong are his people, but Jiang Yang and Zhao Liying are not.

But Zhao Liying was at least handpicked by him. Now the drama is a hit and he's become famous too. Putting everything else aside, it at least proves his good judgment in choosing people.

But Jiang Yang was just an outsider that Gao Xixi had stuffed in; she just used him to make up the numbers.

You want to flip my table?

Did you ask me?

Shen Jiayan is, after all, the second male lead in "Legend of Lu Zhen," so Yu Zheng wouldn't go so far as to directly sabotage him.

When it comes to generating traffic, that brat is a seasoned pro.

His eyes darted around, and a bellyful of wicked ideas was bubbling up inside him; he was sure to come up with a lot of bad schemes.

Got it!

So when the group reunited, Yang Rong hurriedly pulled Jiang Yang aside and told him some bad news with a worried expression.

"Watch out, I heard someone's trying to get you."

Jiang Yang remained calm and composed.

"Who's messing with me? How are they going to do it?"
