Chapter 96 of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" features a giant eagle. [Please subscribe]

Hengdian, the film crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Jiang Yang accepted Yu Zheng's invitation to make a cameo appearance in this drama.

As for the role, he said he could choose any one.

My buddy has principles.

Who is the number one in the world in "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?

The story ends with the emergence of the "Later Five Greats" at the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, with Zhou Botong, the "Central Mischievous Boy," as the new number one swordsman in the world.

However, Zhou Botong does have a significant role in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and it's not just a cameo.

Therefore, Jiang Yang initially chose Wang Chongyang, the top of the "Five Greats" and the one with the Central Divine Power, who was the undisputed number one in the world at that time.

What? Didn't Wang Chongyang die a long time ago?

Can we reminisce?

The Return of the Condor Heroes added a lot of stories about the "older generation" through flashbacks, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many cameo appearances.

However, Jiang Yang didn't get to play Wang Chongyang in the end because the role had already been given to his uncle, Yan Yikuan, so it wouldn't be easy for the nephew to take it.

He saw another role that interested him in the cast list.

Or how about acting in "Rebirth of Zhao Zhijing"?

Hehe, I'm afraid it won't be able to air!

Finally, Yu Zheng took the initiative to say that he knew Jiang Yang's casting preferences and had specially reserved one for him.

"Dugu Qiubai?"

"Yes, this one is good enough for you, isn't he?"

Dugu Qiubai did not appear directly in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", but Yang Guo only discovered that the swordsmen followed him to practice and became the Western Madman of the Five Greats.

Yang Guo's overpowered grandfather is one of the most prestigious characters in the entire Jin Yong martial arts world.

Good taste.

Jiang Yang was satisfied with the role; he was completely stunned when he received the script.

What!

What!

What!

The story of Dugu Qiubai is devoid of the heroic demeanor one might imagine; instead, it features only a poignant love story.

Okay, I knew I shouldn't have any expectations of that brat.

He added love stories to each of the "older generation" characters, making them up where they weren't in the original work. Doesn't that count as spreading rumors about him?

Hong Qigong has them all.

Even an old beggar has to fall in love, are you scared yet?

If you're going to fall in love, then fall in love. The romance is also very dramatic. The character of Dugu Qiubai is "a person who seeks defeat in his life but cannot break through the word 'love'".

Lonely Seeker: Please let me go.

His love interest is named He Xiang. This woman is being chased for some unknown reason, and for some unknown reason, she believes that Dugu Qiubai is a peerless master and begs him to save her.

As a straight man, even if the other person took off their clothes, Dugu Qiubai remained unmoved.

The final line, "Are you even a man?" finally made him lose control and take action.

The provocation tactic worked!

From then on, He Xiang followed Dugu Qiubai, but the latter still ignored her.

When they discovered that He Xiang had gone out to sing for money, they assumed she was vain and berated her. But then they cleared up the misunderstanding; it turned out that He Xiang was doing it to buy herself some wine.

The straight-laced man was moved and fell in love with He Xiang.

It turned out that He Xiang was actually sent by his enemy to get close to him, memorize his swordplay moves, and secretly pass them on.

So when his enemies came knocking, Dugu Qiubai's sword technique was broken, and he fell off a cliff in a sorry state, only to be rescued by a giant eagle.

This giant eagle is the same one that Yang Guo later had, the VIP in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". I wonder how long the eagle lived; it might have become a spirit.

How terrible is a man who has been deceived in a relationship?

Having achieved enlightenment, Dugu Qiubai created the invincible Dugu Nine Swords and returned to wreak havoc, cutting down everything in his path.

Knowing she could not face Dugu Qiubai, He Xiang begged to commit suicide to atone for her sins, only asking that her last dignity be preserved and that she not be watched to die.

Dugu Qiubai agreed.

Many years later, he encountered an older version of He Xiang on the street and discovered that she had faked her death all those years ago.

???

What does that mean?

Jiang Yang criticized this nonsensical script a hundred times, but still accepted it in the end.

Because he discovered that the actress playing He Xiang was someone he knew.

"Huh, it's you?"

"If it wasn't me, who would you want it to be, Sister Lan?"

Qin Lan was pleasantly surprised when she saw Jiang Yang. He was grinning and looking around nervously, as if he was afraid that someone would find out about the secret between them.

"I didn't want to play Lin Chaoying to avoid your uncle, but who would have thought I'd run into you, you little rascal."

She muttered to herself.

Fortunately, Jiang Yang had sharp hearing and eyesight and heard everything clearly.

"Sister Lan, I have to say something to you about this."

"Whatever your issues with me, don't take them out on my uncle. What's wrong with acting opposite him?"

"Professional actors don't care about that!"

Jiang Yang was thinking of his uncle; if every actress he knew refused to act with him, he feared he wouldn't have any roles to play in the future.

Qin Lan rolled her eyes at him.

"How could I possibly have a problem with you? You're so famous now!"

The two hadn't seen each other since "The Legend of Chu and Han". In the past six months, Jiang Yang had first "The Legend of Lu Zhen" and then "Si Teng", and his popularity was no longer comparable to what it used to be.

On the contrary, Qin Lan's career has been unsuccessful in the past two years.

She has few acting roles and is virtually invisible; she's almost forgotten.

It wasn't until "Story of Yanxi Palace" that it regained popularity.

Qin Lan hadn't contacted Jiang Yang during this time, mainly because she saw him thriving while she herself was declining, and the more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became.

"What are you saying, Sister Lan?"

"No matter how famous I become, wasn't it Sister Lan's recommendation that led me to my first role, and I was fortunate enough to become the second male lead, Xiang Yu?"

"I am deeply grateful for this."

Jiang Yang looked grateful, and Qin Lan finally smiled.

You do have some conscience!

With so many people and eyes on the set, they didn't talk much and decided to finish filming their cameo scenes first.

The entanglement between Lonely Seeker and Lotus Fragrance sounds complicated, but there are actually only a few scenes, and if everything goes smoothly, it can be filmed in a day.

For cameo roles, the director won't be too picky.

Qin Lan's performance was average, while Jiang Yang showed some promise.

It's not that Dugu Qiubai can't fall in love, but he's too long-winded and clingy, making all those vows of eternal love. Is that the right persona?

The Sword Demon is obsessed with swords.

To suffer emotional pain, one must be a cold-faced man who rarely utters a word, preferring to remain silent whenever possible.

The director thought Jiang Yang was too lazy to memorize his lines.

Never mind, it doesn't matter, as long as the meaning is conveyed.

All we needed was for him to show his face.

And so, Jiang Yang finished playing Dugu Qiubai according to his own understanding, and when he left, he took the initiative to extend an invitation to Qin Lan.

"Sister Lan, are you free? Let's grab a bite to eat together?"

"Let me change my clothes first."

"No, no, no, this outfit is fine, you don't need to change."

Qin Lan understood immediately and secretly spat.

However, she ultimately did not refuse and acquiesced to this small request.

She felt that since there was a significant age gap between her and Jiang Yang, she should be more tolerant and cooperated quite well with his capricious behavior.

Furthermore—

Whether it was enjoyable or not, only you know best.

That very night, Jiang Yang avenged Dugu Qiubai by severely whipping the woman who had framed him.

"You vile woman! I've always been completely honest with you, never wronged you. I've never admitted defeat in my life, yet I laid down my sword for you for the first time. Why did you betray me by colluding with them from the inside?"

"Women really only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

"Look at the eagles!"
