Huayu: Starting from retirement, sweeping across the domestic entertainment industry

Zhang Ruonan looked at Zhang Jingyi and shrugged indifferently: "Look at how badly Lu Yuxiao is dancing."

She pointed to Lu Yuxiao, who was still grinning foolishly at her phone in the distance: "If you don't want to jump, then Li Ran and I will take one too, okay?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled gently and said, "Go ask Li Ran, I don't care."

"Then I'll go ask." Zhang Ruonan said and walked towards Li Ran.

Li Ran is watching the video that Wang Churan found.

Zhang Ruonan walked up to him and got straight to the point: "Let's dance together!"

Li Ran looked up at her, frowning, and said, "I'm not jumping."

Zhang Ruonan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Why? You jumped with Lu Yuxiao, and you jumped with Wang Churan too!"

Li Ran scoffed, "The concubines in the Cold Palace are not worthy of my favor."

He paused, then added, "Trying to ride the coattails of online traffic? No way."

Zhang Ruonan stared at him, her lips moved but no sound came out.

But Li Ran clearly sensed it... she was cursing with her eyes.

His eyes seemed to say: Li Ran, I love you, my love.

In the end, Li Ran still filmed a video with her.

After filming, he looked at Zhang Jingyi standing next to him and said, "Jingyi, shall we film a scene together?"

Zhang Jingyi shook her head, a little embarrassed: "Brother Li Ran, I'm not coordinated at all, I dance terribly..."

Li Ran smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll teach you a simple hand gesture dance."

……

After filming a few videos, Li Ran went to film a movie.

He tossed his phone to Xiao Chen, telling him to post it on a short video platform later, and then ignored the matter.

But what he didn't know was that the video went viral shortly after it was posted.

There are now countless fans, casual observers, and marketing accounts following Li Ran's every move.

The video went viral immediately after it was posted.

The netizens who clicked in were stunned.

Xu Fengnian, dressed in a black prince's robe and with his hair tied up in a jade crown... is actually dancing the social dance?

This is a top-tier celebrity right now, are you sure it's not some young punk impersonating him?

Many people's first reaction was that they clicked on the wrong account, but after taking another look at the verification...

Li Ran, an e-sports champion and actress.

Yes, it's him.

Fans know that Li Ran is currently filming "The Sword and the Brocade," and his appearance is clearly that of Xu Fengnian.

The woman in white who danced with him was also recognized... Lu Yuxiao, who played Jiang Ni.

Lu Yuxiao's account also posted the video.

There is no co-creation feature yet; the two people each posted a message, but the content was the same.

Not long after, three more videos appeared on Li Ran's account.

The accounts of Wang Churan, Zhang Ruonan, and Zhang Jingyi were also released simultaneously.

The comment section exploded.

#The actors of "The Sword and the Brocade" doing social dance# immediately became a trending search.

The video views skyrocketed.

The video that Li Ran made with Lu Yuxiao quickly garnered over ten million likes.

The girls' short video accounts started gaining followers like crazy.

Li Ran's own account has surpassed 2000 million followers and is still growing.

On Weibo, the hashtag #LiRanSocialShake# also trended on the hot search list.

……

That evening, Li Ran had just finished her last scene and was preparing to remove her makeup.

"Li Ran...!"

A figure skipped and hopped over.

Zhou Ye was dressed as a maid in the blue robes of the Wutong Garden. Today, she was not wearing a blue outfit, but a blue maid's skirt, and her hair was still in the same updo as in the play.

She was panting heavily from running, but her face was full of excitement.

Meng Ziyi followed behind, also dressed in the crew's attire, a red maid's outfit that made her look radiant and beautiful.

"Why didn't you call me this afternoon when we were filming?" Zhou Ye ran up to him, frowning and pouting. "I want to film too!"

Li Ran smiled helplessly: "You weren't even on set. Weren't you filming with Team B?"

Zhou Ye grabbed his arm: "Let's film now!"

She turned to Xiao Chen beside her: "Xiao Chen, come take some pictures for us!"

Li Ran was speechless: "The lighting isn't good tonight either, let's talk about it tomorrow. Also, what do you want to film?"

Zhou Ye chuckled and pulled him along, saying, "Come with me! I know where to find good connections."

Li Ran was dragged along by her and had no choice but to follow.

The two arrived at an antique-style building. The lighting there was indeed excellent; several large lights illuminated the entire wall, and the lanterns on the eaves were also lit, creating a very atmospheric ambiance.

Zhou Ye said proudly, "We just finished filming here, and other actors will be coming to film later. The lighting is great."

Li Ran nodded: "Then what should we film?"

Zhou Ye pulled out his phone: "I found them all this afternoon!"

……

After the two finished filming a scene, Meng Ziyi, who was standing next to them, came over.

She looked at Li Ran, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and self-righteousness: "Li Ran, can we take a picture together?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "I also want to ride the wave of popularity."

Li Ran chuckled: "Sister Meng, you really are outspoken."

Meng Ziyi said coquettishly, "So what? I've kept your and Xiao Ye's secret!"

Zhou Ye chimed in, "Yeah, Li Ran, why don't you film one with Sister Meng too? Film all the actresses in the crew, that way the netizens won't suspect anything."

Li Ran smiled and said, "I didn't say no. What do you want to film? I can't do anything too difficult."

Anyway, one more or one less won't make a difference; this is also a way to promote "The Snow Sword".

Meng Ziyi glared at him: "Li Ran, what nonsense are you spouting? I clearly saw you waving your arms wildly this afternoon!"

Li Ran chuckled awkwardly but didn't reply.

……

After removing my makeup, I returned to my hotel room.

Li Ran pushed open the door and saw Tian Xiwei lying on his bed, scrolling through short videos on her phone.

The sound coming from the phone was all too familiar to him... it was the background music from his social dance video.

He closed the door and said with an awkward laugh, "What are you doing in my room today?"

Tian Xiwei glanced up at him, then continued staring at the screen: "After finishing filming, I took a shower and came over."

She paused, then asked casually, "So, going to choose a lady tonight?"

Li Ran shook his head: "I'm resting tonight. I'm going to take a shower first."

Tian Xiwei hummed in agreement, shifted her position, and continued scrolling through her phone.

After taking a shower, Li Ran dried her hair and walked to the bedside.

Tian Xiwei looked up at him: "You took pictures with the tablet too?"

Li Ran was taken aback: "She uploaded it so quickly?"

Tian Xiwei frowned: "I see your account has updated twice again."

Li Ran realized, "Oh, that was sent to the team by Xiao Chen and then uploaded."

Tian Xiwei stared into his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then she said, "Let's film one together too."

Li Ran smiled and nodded: "Okay, what should we film?"

Tian Xiwei picked up her phone again: "Wait while I look for it... Go put on some clothes first."

Li Ran asked in surprise, "You don't intend to film here, do you?"

Tian Xiwei looked up, her face completely innocent: "What, is that not allowed?"

Li Ran was speechless: "What do you mean 'can do'? You don't know which couple was the one that filmed the hand gesture dance in the hotel last time, do you?"

Tian Xiwei smiled knowingly and asked, "Which one is right?"

She tilted her head and looked at him: "I'm not your sister-in-law, what are you afraid of?"

Li Ran was taken aback by her words: "What, you also want to cover your face with your hands and tell me to 'stop taking pictures'?"

Tian Xiwei scoffed, "You've seen her videos?"

"Didn't you see it too?" Li Ran asked back.

Tian Xiwei pouted: "Fine, let's film it tomorrow then."

She paused, then changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly decide to make short videos?"

Li Ran lay down next to her and put his arm around her: "It was Lulu Xiao who saw one of my old videos and insisted on making one with me."

"Just then, Chu Ran and the others saw it and wanted to take pictures too. I figured it wouldn't hurt to take pictures of just one, so I took pictures of them all."

Tian Xiwei pushed his face away slightly, frowning as she looked at him: "She wants it, so you're going to give it to her?"

"She insisted..." Li Ran chuckled awkwardly.

Tian Xiwei glared at him: "You'll just give it to me if I insist?"

Li Ran burst out laughing: "Are you role-playing?"

Tian Xiwei smiled too, her eyes narrowing into crescent shapes, with two small dimples appearing and disappearing.

But after laughing, her expression suddenly turned serious: "Li Ran, why do you like spending so much time with her now? Didn't you say you had no feelings for her?"

Li Ran was taken aback by her sudden question.

He instinctively reached out to touch his nose, but Tian Xiwei quickly grabbed his hand: "Tell the truth."

Li Ran chuckled awkwardly, "It just feels pretty fun, being with her is quite relaxing."

Tian Xiwei looked at Li Ran, and her big eyes suddenly...
