Huayu Entertainment: Rising Since 1998

In the early morning, the sky was gray and hazy, a chaotic mess.

The rising sun cannot be seen in the distant east.

But light had already descended upon the earth.

Zhou Yan's alarm clock rang, waking him from his deep sleep.

Zhou Yan reached out and turned off the alarm clock, then yawned.

"Today is the first day of filming, we absolutely cannot be late," Zhou Yan quickly got up and got ready.

When Zhou Yan arrived at the filming location, Wang Jing and others were already setting up the scene and adjusting the equipment.

Because there are action scenes today, we still need to set up wire work and the like.

Yuen Woo-ping and his team were moving things around.

"Director, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Yan walked over directly.

"You're here so early?" Wang Jing turned his head, not expecting Zhou Yan to get up so early.

"Hmm, let's see if there's anything I can help with."

"I heard from Master Yuen that you are hardworking and diligent, but I thought it was fake. I didn't expect that I was too naive," said Wang Jing, referring to Master Yuen as Yuen Woo-ping.

"We'll be fine here, you go and do your makeup first."

"Okay," Zhou Yan obeyed obediently, doing whatever was asked without overstepping his bounds.

"Eighth Master, I'm going to get my makeup done now," Zhou Yan said to Yuen Woo-ping.

"Okay," Yuen Woo-ping nodded.

"Brother Yan, I'll take you to the makeup area," Hu Zi hurriedly came up and led Zhou Yan to the makeup area.

The makeup team was quite large, with more than a dozen people in total.

Among them were Wang Yuhua and Yang Yunfei.

Zhou Yan entered the dressing room and looked around. The room was filled with various boxes and makeup tools.

Some members of the makeup team were organizing their makeup tools, while others were sitting on stools eating.

"Xiao Yan is here," Yang Yunfei said as she walked over to Zhou Yan.

"Sister Ya Ya, could you please do my makeup?"

"You're too kind, please have a seat," Yang Yunfei hurriedly invited Zhou Yan.

Seeing this, Wang Yuhua continued what she was doing and did not compete with the other party.

"What are your thoughts on this look?" Yang Yunfei asked Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan shared his thoughts.

Zhou Yan has offered his interpretation of the character Gui Hai Yi Dao.

He is aloof, unruly, taciturn, and unconventional.

Somewhat similar to the Uncrying Death God – Bu Jingyun, both of them have expressionless faces.

Gui Haiyi deeply loves Shangguan Haitang, and only when he looks at her does his eyes show tenderness.

Therefore, this character needs to be somewhat cold-blooded.

Yang Yunfei listened attentively, "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, let me do your makeup first. Take a look, and if you're not satisfied, I'll make adjustments."

"it is good."

The character designs were finalized before filming began, but that was just the general direction; some details were not mentioned.

They were discussing the details this time.

Yang Yunfei worked very quickly and soon finished applying makeup to Zhou Yan.

"Take a look."

Zhou Yan looked at himself in the mirror.

Because he is young, his makeup is more mature.

He wore a wig, looking handsome with a touch of coldness.

He looks very serious when he's not smiling.

But that atmosphere disappears when you laugh.

Therefore, you need to maintain a blank expression throughout the entire process.

"Not bad, this makeup will do," Zhou Yan said with satisfaction.

He's at least more handsome and cool than the original.

"I'm glad you're satisfied," Yang Yunfei said with a smile.

"Then I'll go to the costume department to try on the clothes."

"Okay," the actors continued to arrive, and the others also began to get busy.

After saying goodbye to Yang Yunfei, Zhou Yan went to the costume and props department.

After learning about Zhou Yan's role, the staff took out the costume for "Guihai Yidao".

In this drama, [Guihai Yidao] has three sets of clothes, corresponding to the early, middle and late stages of the story.

In the early stages, his clothes were mainly gray. At this time, [Guihai Yidao] was not sure what was right or wrong. He worked for Shenhou and thought he was righteous, but in fact he was being used by Shenhou.

During the middle stage of his cultivation of "Avici Three Knives," his personality changed drastically; he became cold-blooded and ruthless, killing without hesitation, and his clothes turned black.

Later, he lost an arm, Haitang died, Guihai Yidao repented, recognized the true face of Shenhou, abandoned darkness and turned to light, and his clothes turned white.

The three outfits were similar in style and were all custom-made in advance according to Zhou Yan's body shape.

When Zhou Yan walked out of the fitting room, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Brother Yan, it's such a waste that you're not playing Yang Guo with that look," Hu Zi said, having arrived at some point and standing in the hall waiting for him.

His eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Yan after he finished changing.

Tiger is a martial arts fan, and his favorite character is Yang Guo.

Yang Guo is unrestrained, dashing, intelligent, and most importantly, dares to say no to worldly conventions. He falls in love with his master and sticks to his beliefs to the end, which he greatly admires.

When I watched "The Return of the Condor Heroes" before, whenever I saw Yang Guo's storyline, I couldn't help but imagine what Yang Guo looked like.

Now, his imagined Yang Guo and Zhou Yan overlap.

The hazy face gradually became clear.

"Yes, Jay Chou made me truly understand what it means to 'fall in love with Yang Guo at first sight'," a member of the costume team flattered.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhou Yan stood in front of the mirror with great joy, looking at himself in the mirror, and felt a "streetwise" vibe coming towards him.

Handsome features.

A tall and upright figure.

A free-spirited and unrestrained temperament.

It really fits the image of Yang Guo.

"It's no wonder netizens say that Guihai Yidao looks like Yang Guo," Zhou Yan himself felt that his appearance was somewhat similar to Yang Guo.

"If only we had a knife," someone said among the many staff members.

"A knife? Yes," these words snapped Hu Zi out of his reverie, who was completely absorbed in Zhou Yan's good looks.

Tiger ran to the knife rack on the side and took a custom-made long knife from it.

"Brother Yan," Hu Zi handed the sword in his hand to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan reached out and took it, his demeanor changing drastically in an instant.

The carefree and unrestrained temperament dissipated, replaced by a sharp and ruthless one.

"Zheng!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Zhou Yan drew his sword and struck a pose.

"Good!" Tiger shouted, whether sincerely or not, and clapped his hands.

The others also applauded and cheered.

"Alright, alright, this is so awkward," Zhou Yan said with a smile as he sheathed his longsword.

"I saw you showing off as soon as I came out," a voice said from the side.

Zhou Yan turned his head and was immediately struck by a bright light.

Fan Binbin was dressed in white, with his hair tied in a ponytail. He had a well-proportioned figure and delicate features, making him a handsome young man.

"Wow!" Zhou Yan looked at Fan Binbin, who was dressed as a man, with surprise and admiration on her face.

"So handsome."

"Is this Fan Binbin?"

"He's so handsome! He's even more handsome than Jay Chou."

"Keep your voice down, don't let Jay Chou hear you."

……

The people around were amazed when they saw Fan Binbin walk out.

"I heard you," Zhou Yan said, looking at the two people cricketing at him. "Do you think I'm that petty?"

"You do," Fan Binbin covered her mouth and chuckled, mercilessly rebuking him.

The others joined in the laughter.

Zhou Yan was speechless for a moment and focused his attention on Fan Binbin.

"You look so handsome dressed as a man," Zhou Yan said, staring at Fan Binbin.

"That's right," Fan Binbin said, lifting her small face with a hint of pride.

"Luckily you're a woman, otherwise I'm afraid I would have forced myself on a man."

"What do you mean?" Fan Binbin was a little confused when he heard Zhou Yan's words.

Zhou Yan glanced at the others and whispered a few words of explanation in Fan Binbin's ear.

"You're annoying," Fan Binbin said, realizing the meaning behind the words. She was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and raised her fist to punch Zhou Yan twice.
