Huayu: Tianxian Qianmeng

News about the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils production team has been circulating constantly, keeping the show popular.

There were some earlier casting decisions, such as when He Saifei was unable to play Ye Erniang due to injury at the beginning of filming, Shi Lan (originally cast as Ruan Xingzhu) was replaced as Ye Erniang, and Li Yongyong was cast as Ruan Xingzhu. They even considered casting Na Ying as Ye Erniang.

For example, Qiao Feng liked to hide snacks in his hat.

This version is different from the 97 version. The 97 version is said to have hidden speakers, and once the speakers were out, no one could compete with them. However, Hu Jun's hat did not have any speakers. Instead, he often stuffed beef jerky, candy and other snacks into his hat to fill his stomach, which the crew jokingly called a "mobile snack warehouse".

Because filming often takes a long time, people don't have time to eat.

For example, Jiang Xin deliberately ate garlic before filming a kissing scene.

For example, when filming "The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms", the crew used two wind machines to blow up Qiao Feng's long hair to highlight the power of the palm strike. However, during filming, either his hair covered his face or the yellow sand got into his eyes, making it impossible for him to strike the palm strike gracefully.

Then, when he strikes out, he has to roar loudly to intimidate everyone. One day, the filming lasted for three hours, and Hu Jun roared countless times until his voice was hoarse and his head ached!

But the one who has generated the most buzz is none other than Ling Yuan!

"I heard that Xu Zhu Ling Yuan is the most popular contestant in the entire Tian Long series, even surpassing Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying."

"Is it true? Could it be some kind of backing, just a publicity stunt?"

"No, that's not it. He comes from an ordinary background, but he's incredibly talented! He can act, ride horses, and even write songs. His songs even moved the princess, who had to spend a million to buy them."

"Someone calculated that the legendary poem he sold to the princess, excluding repeated sections, totaled 146 characters, which works out to more than 6800 yuan per character, comparable to Fang Wenshan."

"The princess especially loves this song and has already added it to her latest album. It's said she'll be performing it at this year's Spring Festival Gala!"

"Wow, once he's on the Spring Festival Gala, won't Ling Yuan become even more famous?"

"They're really good at riding this wave!"

"Did you know? He also writes novels!"

"novel?"

"Yes, horror novels! I saw them when I went to the bookstore this morning. They were quite interesting, so I bought a set. The two books cost me over sixty yuan."

That person then took out the novel they had bought and shared it with their classmates.

Sure enough, it was Ling Yuan's "Ling Dong: The True Story of Ghostly Shadows", priced at 33.00 yuan (paperback), in two volumes. If you buy it at the bookstore at the original price, it will cost 66 yuan.

"Is this the same person?"

"Look, there are stills from the show on it, and the title page also has the author's biography. He was a sophomore in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and played Haoran in 'The Story of a Noble Family' and Xuzhu in 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'."

"Holy crap, what is this? This art style is so chaotic. How can he know everything?"

"He's incredibly talented and charming. I heard that many girls in the Tianlong crew were drawn to him. Like Shu Chang, Liu Yifei, and Cen Hao."

"I saw this too. It was a gossip post with paparazzi photos showing Shu Chang and Liu Yifei flanking him!"

"Wait, wait, you mean, the Heavenly Child Granny and Miss Wang from Gusu are surrounding Xuzhu?"

"It is said that when Tong Lao captured Meng Gu and brought her to Xu Zhu for his pleasure, Miss Wang watched from the sidelines, fuming with anger."

"Don't talk nonsense. She's only 15 years old, a minor, she can't be in a relationship."

"We've all been there, haven't we? I like someone like Xu Zhu too! Hehe!"

……

Ling Yuan was actually quite busy on set. He had to film, write novels and scripts, and also study.

Although I have been granted special permission by the school to skip class, I absolutely cannot fail the final exam.

In addition, he was well-liked on set. He had good relationships not only with the producer and directors, but also with many of the actors.

For example, the "three brothers," Ling Yuan, Hu Jun, and Lin Zhiying, often put their arms around each other even off-screen.

Hu Jun had snacks hidden in his hat, and Ling Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with him, so he also took a lot of snacks and shared them with Shu Chang and Liu Yifei.

Actually, this is because Ling Yuan, having lived two lives, is quite worldly-wise and knows how to build relationships. He got along well with the hot-tempered Chen Kun on the set of "The Story of a Noble Family," and now that he's here, everyone praises him.

In addition, due to his recent sale of songs to Wang Tianhou, even Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying look at him differently. In terms of fame, he is much more powerful than Gao Hu in his previous life.

Several food and beverage companies and sporting goods companies have already contacted Ling Yuan to discuss GG's endorsement.

Ling Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse such a good offer. He would agree to endorsements from any reasonably reputable company, with fees around six or seven hundred thousand yuan per endorsement!

Ling Yuan accepted three!

This is even though neither of his two dramas has been broadcast yet.

It's easy to imagine that his salary for his next film will skyrocket, potentially reaching the million-dollar level!

Shu sang: "..."

Liu Yifei: "..."

When Jia Nailiang, Wang Luodan, and other classmates found out, they were green with envy and bombarded him with messages on QQ every day, urging him to come back and treat them to a meal!

Everyone's waiting for him to finish filming so they can rip him off!

Ling Yuan has the money to make the movie, and he has the script. Everything is ready except for the final push.

He decided that once filming of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was completed and he returned to the capital, he would immediately get to work!

……

In mid-December, the fervor surrounding Zhang Yimou's "Hero" had already swept across the country from its global premiere at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Even within the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" film crew, people were discussing the rain of arrows and dazzling colors every day.

Ling Yuan, Shu Chang, and Liu Yifei finally managed to find an evening without night shoots, so they decided to go to the cinema to "pay homage" to this martial arts blockbuster directed by Zhang Da.

Especially for Ling Yuan, who will be making movies himself in the future, this is a good opportunity to observe and learn.

He had indeed seen it in his previous life, but he was just a passive observer then. This time, however, he came with a professional and critical perspective.

Ling Yuan is now a "little tycoon," so naturally he's treating everyone. Since he's still filming in Dali, they chose a nearby movie theater.

The three of them are now somewhat famous, so they all wore hats and masks. Liu Yifei also wore a scarf. She lied to her mother and said that she was going to see a movie with Shu Chang, without mentioning Ling Yuan.

It happened to be winter, and the temperature difference between day and night in Dali was quite large, with temperatures dropping to 0-5℃ at night. Being "fully armed" wouldn't make you hot or seem out of place.

After buying the ticket, I sneaked into the last row of the theater in the dark and sat down in a corner.

Ling Yuan likes to sit in the back; well, sitting further away is good for his eyesight.

Changchang and Xixi are at the age where they are growing, so they can't sit too close together.

When the three of them looked around, wow, almost all the people behind them were couples, especially in the last row, where the "disaster"—no, the "love affair"—was even more serious, with them all snuggling together and whispering to each other.

Ling Yuan walked in with two girls. Although it was dark inside the theater, you could tell from their figures and curves that it was a strong man with two slender beauties.

Winter is cold, but no matter how many layers you wear, you can't hide Changchang and Xixi's graceful curves.

Especially Liu Yifei. Even when she's fully disguised, people don't even need to look at her; just by smelling her, they can tell she's a stunningly beautiful woman.

This 15-year-old fairy-like girl has a lovely natural fragrance!

"Tsk, look at that guy, he's got some luck with the ladies!" A guy whispered to his girlfriend, his voice low but clear in the quiet theater, his eyes glancing towards Ling Yuan and his group. "Bringing two beauties to the movies by himself, impressive!"

He only brought one with him.

"What, are you jealous?" His girlfriend immediately snapped and grabbed his ear.

"No, no!" the man quickly begged for mercy.
