Chapter 334 Underwater Flying Dance

The internet was abuzz with arguments over the song "Stop the War," but Ye Xian didn't have time to pay attention to those trolls. He took Qiu Qing and Chen Xu to a venue.

Director Jia and some of the film crew had been waiting here for a long time.

Upon seeing the three arrive, Director Jia said with envy, "You're lucky, kid."

Qiu Qing and Chen Xu's pretty faces flushed red instantly.

Ye Xian, too lazy to explain, pointed to the huge pool beside him and said, "How's it going? Ready?"

Director Jia nodded and said, "Everything is ready. Now we just need to see how well Chen Xu practices."

Ye Xian looked at Chen Xu, who confidently patted his chest, causing a stir: "Don't worry, I've been spending several hours in the water every day lately. I can even compete in underwater breath-holding!"

Ye Xian turned to look at Qiu Qing: "Later, could you help her take another look at the movements? I've already rehearsed the movements that Auntie set for her many times, but how to show the feminine grace is something you'll have to figure out."

Qiu Qing was filled with curiosity about what Ye Xian was about to do: "Are you sure you want her to dance in this pool?"

"Whether Chen Xu can become an overnight sensation depends entirely on this jump!"

Ye Xian looked at the huge pool in front of him and felt a sense of longing.

……

The filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has entered its middle stage, and the crew's filming tasks are still very demanding. However, Director Jia can still spare a few hours to film a dance.

Moreover, the dance to be filmed was for Ye Xian's "Dream of the Red Chamber: A Magical Night on Dragon Boat Festival" series, which was to be launched on the Dragon Boat Festival and also served to promote "Dream of the Red Chamber". Therefore, Director Jia readily accepted the job.

From preparation to filming, director Jia Zhangke never realized that the funding for "Dream of the Red Chamber" was so plentiful.

Ye Xian's various ingenious ideas made the drama a hit even before filming began, and the simultaneous filming and live streaming made the drama earn its first pot of gold.

Director Jia originally thought that this was Ye Xian's limit, but who knew that Ye Xian would raise the ceiling of marketing even higher.

During breaks in filming these past few days, I've been preparing the "Dream of the Red Chamber: A Magical Night for Dragon Boat Festival" series, hoping to further boost the show's popularity.

Chen Xu also knew that this opportunity was rare.

In his first dance class, Ye Xian arranged for Qiu's mother to choreograph a dance for him, without telling him when he would use it. She also added a diving course for him.

It wasn't until a month ago that Ye Xian privately revealed to her that the dance was to be performed underwater.

She was stunned by Ye Xian's wonderful idea.

As a directing student, she immediately realized what a rare opportunity this was, and that she could very well become a sensation because of this dance.

So for the past month, she has been practicing this dance and holding her breath underwater even more diligently.

……

Chen Xu performed the dance in its entirety. Ye Xian and Director Jia felt there were no problems. Qiu Qing then stepped forward and pointed out some points to note regarding eye contact and facial expressions. Qiu Qing was the most professional in this regard.

Once Chen Xu had mastered the technique, the makeup artists rushed over to apply waterproof makeup to him.

Qiu Qing, with her hands behind her back, circled Chen Xu again and again, making him dizzy. "Boss lady, what are you trying to do?"

Qiu Qing's cheeks flushed red again, and her ears instantly burned. She had long known that Chen Xu was a clever and mischievous person, but the fact that he called her "boss lady" right off the bat caught her off guard: "Don't call me that."

Chen Xu said "Oh," and casually pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds: "Want some?"

The makeup artist standing nearby looked annoyed: "Don't move around."

Chen Xu, without looking to the side, precisely handed the melon seeds in his hand to Qiu Qing.

Qiu Qing couldn't help but take the melon seeds, cracking them open as she asked, "Is Ye Xian trying to make you a huge star?"

Chen Xu's lips curled up: "That's right, I practiced this dance for almost two months!"

Qiu Qing nodded: "What if I told Ye Xian that I'd dance this dance?"

Chen Xu's face immediately darkened, and he stretched out his hand: "Give me back my sunflower seeds!"

Qiu Qing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I told you, I won't debut."

Chen Xu smacked his lips, indicating that he did not believe it.

After putting on makeup and changing into a green dance costume and red and yellow ribbons, Chen Xu instantly transformed from a modern beauty into an ancient fairy.

"Let's begin! Let the entire audience of Kuaishou witness our water fairy!"

Ye Xian waved his hand, and all the filming crew members took their positions, while several underwater cameras were also launched into the water at the same time.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, adjusted himself to be in the best state, and jumped into the pool with a splash.

……

The following day, the official account of "Dream of the Red Chamber" released a short video.

The short video immediately caused an uproar among fans of Dream of the Red Chamber, and within just two hours, it quickly became a trending topic.

#Chen Xu's "Prayer"

#Chen Xu Underwater Flying Dance

#Chen Xu, the Water Fairy

#Exposing Chen Xu

#Ye Xian is amazing!

……

A series of trending topics made many people realize that Ye Xian was up to something again.

When everyone flocked to the official account of "Dream of the Red Chamber", they saw an ancient painting slowly unfurling, in which a graceful woman was dancing.

"A Dream of Red Mansions: A Wonderful Journey Through the Dragon Boat Festival - Part 1: Prayer"

Several large handwritten characters flashed by and then quickly disappeared.

The ancient painting fades, revealing a woman dressed in a green flying robe, her back to the viewer, suspended in a beam of pale light. The surrounding darkness contrasts sharply with the woman's colorful flying robe.

A string of bubbles slowly rose from the woman's head, and the surrounding lights began to slowly illuminate. The reflections of the underwater ripples, along with the deep sounds of water and drums in the background, created a magical atmosphere.

【Holy crap, is this underwater dancing? I just saw that the producer and choreographer of this dance is Brother Xian? What is Brother Xian up to?】

So beautiful! Just looking at her back, I think this girl is gorgeous!

[Look! It's Chen Xu! My god, her makeup is stunning! Is that a flying dance? An underwater flying dance?]

[Holy crap, please forgive me for only being able to say this word at this moment! I always thought Chen Xu was super beautiful, but I never expected this makeup to be so gorgeous! I love it!]

……

A barrage of comments flashed by, and Chen Xu, who was on screen, turned around and transformed into an underwater fairy.

Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon.

These eight characters were originally used to describe the goddess Luo. At this moment, everyone felt that Chen Xu was interpreting these eight characters with his water dance.

Also watching the short video were Chen Xu's parents and aunt. Seeing her daughter's beautiful dance in the water, Chen Xu's aunt exclaimed excitedly, "This is my niece? My goodness, how can she be so beautiful?"

"This is my daughter! This is my daughter!"

Chen Xu's mother was so excited that she slapped her thigh: "It's so good to be with Ye Xian! Look how radiant our daughter is now! I have to share this with my girlfriends so they can see how amazing my daughter is."

Chen Xu's father's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. He didn't say anything, but looked at the comments praising his daughter word by word and couldn't help but take screenshots one by one.
