Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

In the afternoon in Hengdian, the sun shines through the thin clouds and sprinkles on the quaint streets of the film and television city.

Although it is winter, the temperature today is unusually mild, and the breeze brings a hint of unusual warmth.

On both sides of the street, the quaint buildings are dotted with the colors of various drama crews. From time to time, actors in ancient costumes hurry by, revealing a hint of tension and haste in their steps.

In the film and television city, Hanfu enthusiasts can be seen everywhere walking through the streets and alleys. They either stop in front of the ancient shops to take photos, or walk lightly on the stone roads, imitating the posture of the ancients strolling in the garden.

The elegance of Hanfu and the rich history of Hengdian blend together to form a unique picture.

In a corner, a small crew was filming intensely.

The director held up a small blackboard and kept shouting "cut" and "pass". The actors in front of the camera, whether happy or sad, portrayed each character vividly.

Their voices, movements, and even subtle changes in expression became part of the afternoon in Hengdian.

Not far away, several women dressed in gorgeous Hanfu were adjusting each other's clothes. Their faces were filled with excitement and satisfaction, and they were discussing with each other how to better integrate into this ancient environment.

Their laughter was crisp, forming a sharp contrast with the noise of the crew in the distance.

Suddenly, a rapid drumbeat rang out, and an actor in official robes ran out hurriedly from the street corner. His expression was tense, as if he was chasing something important.

This sudden dramatic scene made the crowd around him involuntarily quiet down, and they watched him pass through the crowd and disappear at the end of the street.

As the drumbeats faded away, Hengdian returned to its usual bustle.

Tourists continued to check in at various attractions, and the crews were busy in their respective areas, as if everyone was writing a story about Hengdian in their own way.

In a hotel's gym, the lights are bright and the atmosphere is quiet.

The regular sound of mechanical movement came from the fitness equipment, in sync with the heartbeat.

A beam of light shone from the high window, like a stage spotlight, illuminating a muscular man.

He was concentrating on strength training, his arms tightly gripping the barbell, his muscle lines showing his strength as he moved.

There was a relaxed expression on his face, as if he was enjoying the tranquility of sweating. Every breath was even and powerful, and every effortless movement revealed his ease with daily exercise.

Everyone else in the gym kept a certain distance, leaving him an area for the strong.

The air is filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which mixed with the unique scent after exercise to create a fresh atmosphere.

Through the glass window, you can see the hustle and bustle of traffic outside, but in this space, time seems to have stopped, everything seems so sparse and ordinary, only strength and will are silently competing.

"Li Cheng's muscles are so exaggerated!"

"He looks very thin on camera, but I didn't expect him to be so muscular when he takes off his clothes!"

"I went there, look at his arm, so handsome!"

"His back is awesome too!"

"When I was watching Flower Boy with my girlfriend, no wonder the comments on the screen said that he should be topless and carry a backpack!"

"If I go and play basketball with him, I'll break a bone if he bumps into me!"

"."

There were many people in the gym discussing Li Cheng behind his back, but no one came forward! Some people came here for business trips, and some were unknown in the circle.

"Brother, brother, brother, you are here, I finally found you!"

Just as others were discussing, Xiao Wang finally found Li Cheng in the gym.

Li Cheng was exercising on a rowing machine at this time, pursing his lips while doing so.

Seeing that Li Cheng was busy, Xiao Wang waited quietly by the side without being in a hurry.

After finishing his rowing machine training, Li Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, put on an unused short-sleeved shirt, and walked out of the gym. As he walked, he asked, "What's wrong? You're in a hurry." Then he said, "Let's go to the gym."

"Brother! Auntie found the mastermind behind last night's incident!"

At this time, Xiao Wang followed Li Cheng towards the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, Li Cheng asked, "Who?"

"yy's company!"

Li Cheng laughed when he heard what Xiao Wang said and said, "No, it's true. The old saying is true. It's not that I don't want to report it, but the time has not come. I'm just staring at you!"

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "And his team was also there during the previous New Year's Eve, because before..."

One thing immediately popped into Li Cheng's mind. YY had said in an interview before: If you have treasures, you will always meet hungry wolves. Sister Qian was so angry that she posted two Weibo posts at the airport to deny that the New Year's Eve was just for the two of them.

'Ding'

The elevator door slowly opened, and a woman wearing sunglasses stepped out, ready to face the challenges of a new day.

Suddenly, a figure at the door came into view. Her movements froze instantly, and a look of disbelief flashed across her eyes behind her sunglasses.

It was Li Cheng, her idol, standing there, like a beam of light piercing through the calm lake of her heart.

The woman's breathing quickened and she subconsciously covered her mouth to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

Her fingers gently touched the sunglasses, as if touching a dream.

Then, driven by excitement, she resolutely took off her sunglasses, revealing her bright and passionate eyes.

"Hello, Li Cheng!"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of trembling excitement.

Li Cheng looked up and smiled, "Hello."

"Can we take a picture together?"

The girl looked at Li Cheng expectantly.

Li Cheng nodded, walked out of the elevator, and stood next to the girl with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Wang tactfully took the phone handed over by the female fan.

The girl also stood quietly beside Li Cheng, very shy.

Xiao Wang quickly took more than ten photos, and when he returned the phone, he said, "I took a lot of photos. You can choose the right one. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

"Okay, thank you, thank you." The girl was very excited. She didn't start checking the photos in her phone until the elevator door closed. After looking at them, she felt that Li Cheng was much more handsome in person than in the photos.
-
Deep in the stadium, the lights are shining brightly, illuminating this holy place where sweat is shed.

The trainer's voice echoed in the empty arena, his slogan firm and powerful: "Speed! Speed ​​is the key!"

Li Cheng was wearing a tight training suit. The sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks onto the wooden floor, evaporating into wisps of moist hot air.

He was concentrating on doing off-ball training. The ball in his hand seemed to have life, interweaving with his figure into a dynamic dance.

His steps are light and agile, and every turn and every jump reveals his love and pursuit of the sport of basketball.

The atmosphere in the stadium was tense and full of energy. The mirrors on the wall reflected Li Cheng's ever-changing figure, his face full of determination and indomitable spirit.

The trainer's eyes were sharp as torches, closely following Li Cheng's every move, and he would remind him loudly from time to time: "Keep your balance! Watch your steps!"

The floor in the stadium made a "dong dong" sound as Li Cheng moved. This was the sound of basketball and dreams colliding.

With a flip of his wrist, the basketball drew perfect arcs and jumped on the unguarded court. The height of the bounce and the accuracy of the landing point revealed the results of his countless training.

Li Cheng's eyes sparkled with a desire for victory. He devoted himself to every dribble and every shot. Even in training without the ball, one could feel his agility and explosiveness on the court.

The trainer's shouts mixed with the echoes in the arena, creating an indescribable sense of urgency.

Li Cheng stood on the court, sweat streaming down his cheeks, his eyes focused and determined.

The trainer shouted commands on the sidelines, and his voice echoed in the arena.

"Breakthrough! Pull-up jump shot! Layup!"

The trainer requires Li Cheng to perform every move to perfection, and every training session is designed to allow Li Cheng to maintain a good condition and even improve his skills.

Li Cheng practiced again and again according to the trainer's instructions.

The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell into the basket with a crisp sound.

His breakthroughs were sharp and decisive, every time he stopped he completed a jump shot accurately, and his layup movements were smooth and continuous.

His body moved flexibly on the court, as if he had become one with the basketball.

The trainer's eyes were fixed on Li Cheng's every move, giving guidance and suggestions from time to time.

He hopes that Li Cheng can perform these moves to perfection. Only in this way can Li Cheng perform at his best in the competition.

Li Cheng also listened attentively to the trainer's instructions. He knew that only through continuous efforts and training could he realize his basketball dream.

Inside the gym, time seemed to stand still, with only the sounds of Li Cheng and the trainer's breathing and the ball hitting the ground.

Their eyes met, filled with love for basketball and desire for victory.

Here, they turn their efforts into strength and their sweat into victory.
-
Li Cheng was sweating profusely in the gym, the thud of the basketball hitting the wooden floor intertwined with his rapid breathing.

Sweat dripped down his chin onto his already soaked jersey, his eyes were firm, and every shot was condensed with his determination and anger.

Meanwhile, in one of BJ's modern studios, the atmosphere was completely different.

Li Xue's face was grim and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could see through every lie of Yang Yang's team across from her.

The people from the YY team seemed a little uneasy. They kept avoiding her gaze, fearing that they would touch Li Xue's anger that seemed to be able to spit out fire.

"The evidence is right in front of you, what else do you have to say?"

Li Xue's voice was cold, like the biting cold wind in winter.

The representatives of the YY team tried to speak, but their voices trembled a little under Li Xue's aura.

They knew that this mistake could not be easily erased, and they had to show enough sincerity to calm the storm.

The two sides were in a stalemate, the air was filled with gunpowder, and a tug-of-war over reputation and interests quietly began.

Under the pressure of being in the wrong, the YY team began to try to propose solutions, but Li Xue used her calm and unquestionable attitude to let the other party understand that she would never let it go easily this time.

The sunlight outside poured into the studio through the window, but it could not dispel the cold confrontation.

In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, each side is looking for the other side's flaws, trying to exchange the greatest benefit for the smallest cost.
-
As dusk fell, the lights of the Jiuchongzi crew sparkled like stars in the dark studio.

Li Cheng was wearing ordinary clothes and had a simple backpack slung across his shoulder, which was filled with snacks and drinks. He had a faint smile on his face and a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his eyes.

He pushed the door open gently, as if afraid of disturbing the tense and focused atmosphere in the crew.

All around there was the gentle clicking sound of cameras, the actors were concentrating on acting out the emotions in the script, and the director's eyes were fixed on the monitor, capturing every detail.

Li Cheng tiptoed behind the director, who didn't even turn his head, staring intently at the screen.

Li Cheng did not say anything either, he just stood there silently, holding his breath, his eyes following the images on the screen. Occasionally, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly, revealing his approval of the plot in the play.

There was a slight aroma of coffee in the air. It was one of the drinks that Li Cheng brought. He carefully took out a cup and gently placed it next to the director without making a sound.

The director finally noticed his arrival, turned around and smiled, thanking him for his attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

Other people in the crew gradually noticed the uninvited guest, but they did not show surprise and continued to focus on their work.

Li Cheng's presence was like a gentle breeze, which did not cause any waves, but silently added a warm atmosphere to the crew.

As the night deepened, the lights of the crew seemed to become brighter, shining on Li Cheng's face, reflecting his quiet and contented expression.

In this busy and focused shooting scene, he found a sense of belonging.

Suddenly, a crystal snowflake fell, like an elf that had accidentally entered the camera, spinning lightly in the air.

Along with it, more snowflakes fell down, as if they were the purest gift from heaven and earth.

The crew members looked up, with a glimmer of surprise in their eyes.

In the land of Hengdian, there is a long-standing saying: "When it snows, dramas become hits." Every work created in the snow always seems to touch the softest corner of the audience's heart and become an immortal classic.

In Hengdian today, there may be countless crews capturing different stories, but under the baptism of snow, everyone in the Jiuchongzi crew can feel an indescribable pride and expectation.

The male lead Li Cheng just returned from vacation. His handsome face, decorated with snowflakes, looks even more energetic.

He stood there with a determined look in his eyes, as if saying to everyone: Despite the wind and snow, our dreams will not stop.

The crew members gathered around him, their faces full of trust and excitement. They believed that with Li Cheng's charm and the efforts of the entire team, Jiu Chong Zi would stand out in this snowstorm and become a hit.

The atmosphere on the set became warm and exciting because of the snowflakes. Everyone was immersed in this sudden "snow play" and secretly vowed to seal this rare beauty in the film and make Jiuchongzi a memory that cannot be erased by time. (End of this chapter)
