Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

The film crew started setting up the scene early that morning.

Before dawn, the props and set design teams were already busy on set.

The Execution Platform is one of the most expensive sets in the entire series.

A circular platform with a diameter of over thirty meters is made entirely of imitation jade material, with a surface polished smooth as a mirror.

Twelve enormous stone pillars stood around the platform, each carved with intricate celestial runes and gleaming with a bluish-gray luster.

The platform is surrounded by three concentric arc-shaped steps, each capable of accommodating hundreds of people. A total of over three hundred extras will be playing the roles of sect disciples here.

Just doing makeup, dressing up in costumes, and arranging positions for these hundreds of extras kept us busy from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Everyone was on high alert.

This scene was incredibly expensive. It involved the wages of hundreds of extras, the cost of setting up the set, the budget for special effects, and the time of the entire crew.

If filmed well, this scene could become the most memorable and classic shot in the entire series.

If the filming is poor, all the money and time spent will be wasted.

Lu Yu arrived at the dressing room at six in the morning to start her makeup and styling.

After he finished his makeup and came out of the dressing room, the whole place was quiet for a while.

Today he is wearing the most expensive costume in the entire play, the complete robes of Immortal Jiqing.

The moon-white robe is embroidered with flowing clouds and cranes in silver thread, with the texture of each feather clearly visible.

It is covered with an extremely thin layer of silk gauze, on which a star map is woven with gold threads finer than a hair, and it will shimmer with different lusters as the angle changes under the light.

It was like a galaxy flowing slowly across the robe.

The waist belt was a jet-black jade belt, with a thumb-sized piece of mutton-fat white jade inlaid in the center. The jade was warm and lustrous, and faintly radiated a spiritual light.

The hem of his long robe trailed on the ground, and as he walked, the sleeves billowed like surging clouds.

He wore a lotus-shaped jade crown, adorned with twelve South China Sea pearls, each the size of a fingertip, their luster shimmering.

A silver-white wig hung down to her waist, the ends of which were tied with a very fine silver chain.

When you walk, the silver chains clink together, making a crisp sound.

The makeup artist drew sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, slightly upturned the corners of his eyes, and added a tiny cinnabar mole under his eye.

Lu Yu already had exceptionally beautiful features, and after this makeup and styling was completed, she looked like an otherworldly immortal.

His demeanor was cold and aloof, making him impossible to look directly at.

He stood on the sidelines, waiting to go on, his hands behind his back. A gentle breeze blew, causing his robes to flutter, and the silk gauze shimmered with a faint golden glow in the sunlight.

With her jade crown tied high and her brows and eyes calm, she naturally exuded a sense of aloofness and superiority.

It seems that the hundreds of people on the film set are nothing more than ants and dust in his eyes.

Once the makeup and styling were finished, the entire crew erupted in croaking.

The lighting crew member was drinking soy milk when she saw Lu Yu come out. She stopped drinking the soy milk cup at her lips and almost spilled it on the lighting console.

Even Director Chen, who is usually not very talkative, stood up from behind the monitor, circled around Lu Yu, and adjusted his glasses.

"Okay, this money was well spent."

The female lead, Fan Siyao, is the most exaggerated.

Her costume was quite exquisite, but standing next to Lu Yu, she suddenly felt like she was playing a maid.

She circled around Lu Yu several times, her eyes shining brightly, and opened her mouth several times, not knowing how to praise him properly.

Fan Siyao took two steps back, clasped her hands together, bowed to Lu Yu, and said in an extremely sincere tone, "As expected of the Immortal Venerable Jiqing."

"Lu Yu, you are practically the very embodiment of Immortal Master Jiqing."

Jiqing is the Taoist name of Shen Du in "With Immortals".

The original novel describes Immortal Venerable Jiqing as follows:

Clad in white, with a face more beautiful than snow, she stood like a jade tree in full bloom and walked like a silver river hanging upside down. No cultivator in the world could help but bow down to her.

When the official character photos were first released, fans of the original work argued about it several times in the comments section.

Many people say the promotional photos look good, but they don't know how they'll look in motion. Hopefully, the final product won't be a disappointment.

Fan Siyao thought to herself that once the behind-the-scenes footage of this scene is released, the fans of the original work will probably line up to apologize to the production team.

Lu Yu didn't pay much attention to everyone's stares.

In a play, the actors' appearance is a plus, but what truly brings the characters to life is their performance.

He nodded slightly to Fan Siyao, his tone indifferent: "Teacher Fan, you flatter me."

Tan Yao happened to be in this film and television city today.

His greatest hobby is gossiping and eating melons.

From childhood to adulthood, he was always the first to know who among his friends was dating whom, who broke up with whom, and what exciting things were happening in whose family.

The biggest unsolved mystery of his life is the relationship between his cousin Tan Yanshan and his childhood friend Song Xijin.

One is as taciturn as a gourd, the other as cold as an iceberg, yet both are inextricably linked to him.

Now, these two lines are intertwined with a person named Lu Yu.

Tan Yao now wants to know what exactly is so charming about Lu Yu that makes Song Xijin so eager to talk about him.

He even made a special trip to Zhejiang Province to see him.

He had known Song Xijin for twenty years, from kindergarten to now, and had never seen Song Xijin care about anyone so much.

What's more, his cousin is coming back soon.

He always needed to understand the situation himself before he could mediate between his cousin and his brothers.

Both sides are people connected to him, and he doesn't want to see either side get hurt.

Tan Yao called Dong Yanchen the day before.

Dong Yanchen's voice was weary: "Yao'er, what's wrong?"

"Yanchen, are you still in Zhejiang Province?" Tan Yao nestled on his sofa at home, legs crossed.

"Yes, I'm still on set keeping an eye on things."

"Why haven't I seen you this diligent before?" Tan Yao said teasingly, taking a sip of water.

He knows Dong Yanchen quite well.

Dong Yanchen's film and television company invests in at least several productions a year, including web series, short dramas, and online movies—they invest in whichever is profitable.

I've never seen him stay with the crew for this long before.

Previously, I would only make a brief appearance at the opening ceremony and have a couple of drinks at the wrap party. I would occasionally visit the set in between.

The rest of the time he spends lounging on the sofa in Beijing playing video games.

This time, he actually stayed on set for over a month; it's like the sun has risen in the west!

Dong Yanchen is also troubled.

He walked to a relatively quiet corner of the set, cupped the microphone in his hand, and said in a low voice, "There's no other way, Brother Song invested 100 million."

I can't let this 100 million yuan go to waste again. I have to be on set watching it and make the most of the money.

"Ideally, I can earn some more for Brother Song by then, otherwise, where will I put my face?"

"By the way, Yao'er, tell me the truth, what exactly is the relationship between Lu Yu and Brother Song?"

You didn't see the look on Brother Song's face when he came to the set that day and saw Lu Yu sitting in the corner eating a boxed lunch..."
