Actor: Thank you.

"Legendary Fantasy Yin Shang"...

Zhang Yuan reacted as soon as he heard the name.

There is such a play...

And just like "Magic Phone," this movie is a little ahead of its time.

In an age when martial arts are everywhere, fairy swords are just becoming popular, and fantasy is not very common, this movie uses the background story of "Investiture of the Gods" to transform it into a magical drama!
And the most amazing thing about this movie is that it’s such a hodgepodge!
"World of Warcraft", "Harry Potter", "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods"...

He took a little bit from various famous works and current popular culture and put them together into a drama of a magical battle between the East and the West.

Even the theme song is a modified take on Jay Chou's "Half-Orc".

The whole film is a "military pot", with the main theme of just throwing whatever you can get into it.

But thanks to the strong cast and the solid foundation of the production company, this hodgepodge of "god-like drama" has some flavor.

After all, its producer is the Suzhou Funa Film and Television which launched the "Zhu Bajie" series, namely Xu Zheng's "Splendid Pig Bajie".

How terrifying was the ratings of "The Legend of the White Snake" back then.

Liaoning TV 16.6%!

Horrible no.

But this is still the lowest one!
Hunan TV has 24%, Jiangxi TV has 28%, Shandong TV has 30%, and the most powerful one is Heilongjiang TV, which has reached 31%!

Since "My Fair Princess", this drama has had the highest ratings.

Xu Zheng and Tao Hong, a couple, also met because of the drama and became famous across the country at the same time.

So in terms of production capabilities, with this company behind us, there is no need to worry about this film.

In addition to Chang Chang and Bao Qiang, the film also invited teachers such as Nie Yuan, Kong Lin, and He Zhengjun to join, and the actors are basically all powerful.

So why do I say it is basic… Because the male lead is the weak point in the acting of the whole drama.

The male protagonist was named Lu Haozhe, and was later often called Lu Haojiji.

He is Hai Yan's biological son!
It's easy to get things done with someone in the court, and his father is a famous screenwriter in the industry, so naturally he has no shortage of dramas to shoot.

But to be honest, this young master's acting talent is average.

Moreover, when he went on vacation to the Maldives in 03, he wanted to imitate Gu Tianle and get a tan, so he lay on the beach for a whole day.

But there was one tiny flaw in his back-tanning plan… he didn’t wear sunscreen!

At the end of the day, my face was severely sunburned.

After returning to China, I encountered another incompetent plastic surgery hospital. Half of my face was made stiff and I could hardly move or make any facial expressions.

Even in this situation, he is still acting.

Later, I worked as a photographer, taking photos of celebrities.

I also sang songs, but the final results were average.

At the last moment, nothing works. What should I do?
I’m not very good at anything I do, why don’t I switch to being a director!
People with connections can do whatever they want, and there are a lot of people supporting them.

You know what, once he became a director, he really did it.

The first web drama he directed became a hit, it was called "The Rise of Phoenixes"!
The later "Ink Rain and Clouds" was also his directorial work.

He is not so good at other things, but he is an expert at making TV dramas with short and quick stories.

"He is considered a talent..." Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment.

"Let them shoot. This production company is quite powerful."

"As for the content... there are a lot of weird TV shows nowadays. What the audience likes has nothing to do with what you and I say."

Although this movie is weird, its ratings are actually quite good.

Oh, I can’t say it’s good, it should be amazing!
It's the kind of movie that you think should flop, but ends up making it to the annual ratings list.

Zhang Yuan in his previous life couldn’t understand it, but he was deeply shocked.

And the pay they pay is quite high.

"As long as you think it's good." Cheng Hao gave him enough respect, even though she felt that if this movie was given to her, she would never act in it.

But she had to support Zhang Yuan once he made the decision.

"It's a pity that this film is not short of money." Zhang Yuan said with a bit of regret.

He called Shu Chang and Baoqiang again.

Chang Chang and Lu Haozhe are a couple in the film, and Zhang Yuan asked her to get along well with him.

“Communicate more and make friends.”

Changchang’s brain is actually quite useful. After thinking it over for a while, he came to his own conclusion.

"Brother Yuan, you asked me to get along well with him, is it because he is Hai Yan's son?"

"You and Chang Jihong have a conflict again."

"And Hai Yan is the founder of Hairun..."

"I guess so." Zhang Yuan couldn't say that I was impressed by his directing talent.

"Oh." Shu Chang nodded across the phone to show that he understood: "When will you return to the capital?"

"I'll be back tomorrow. What's the matter?" Zhang Yuan saw her asking and thought she needed help with something.

"We haven't seen each other for a while..."

Oh, this is about communication.

I saw her once before when I took her to check the accounts of various companies after the Chinese New Year.

Check the accounts during the day and check her health at night...

But they are usually busy.

Don’t be fooled by Chang Chang’s young age, he has a lot of film offers!

She was offered roles in four or five dramas during the same period, and especially after "The Lotus Lantern" was broadcast, her pay increased a lot.

Nowadays, a leading role in a drama can earn more than two million.

And she still maintains the same living habits as before in "The Story of a Noble Family".

Filming during the day and taking extra classes and doing homework at night.

I also take a few nights every month to help the company with its accounts.

Even in this situation, he still managed to squeeze out time to chat with Liu Xixi on the phone and go shopping occasionally.

It’s different when she has a good brain. She is very serious and focused in her work, which makes her much more efficient than ordinary people.

But being smart and serious can sometimes be a disadvantage.

For example, the next day, after Zhang Yuan returned to the capital, he went to the new house she had bought to find her that night.

After the two of them finished their work, or in other words, after Shu Chang got the reward she wanted.

Zhang Yuan saw her take out a small notebook from her backpack, put on her glasses, took out a pen and started taking notes.

He leaned over to take a look, but Changchang blushed and hid her clothes in her arms, not wanting him to see them.

But both of them were naked, where could they hide?

In no time, he, a monkey, stole the peach and snatched it away.

Take it in your hand, open it and take a look.

The notebook recorded in detail the time, movements, angles, feelings, and Zhang Yuan's reactions to different postures.

Zhang Yuan was shocked.

As expected of a top student... He can even take notes on this!

Especially when he flipped forward, there were summaries and key points to note under each article...

"Are you planning to publish a book?" Zhang Yuan looked up at Shu Chang and said slowly.

At this time, Chang Chang had become a steam queen, with a red face and white smoke coming out of her head.

"I, I, I..."

"I just thought that we didn't have many opportunities to meet."

"I want to improve myself and make you happier..."

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, feeling that he owed the other party something.

Changchang doesn't care about food and clothing, and she doesn't want money when you give her it.

I had to be very reluctant to accept the arranged driver and company car, and for the time being I had to share a car with Baoqiang.

"Well, you remember it well."

"But there are still some omissions." Zhang Yuan closed the notebook and handed it back to her.

"What's missing?" Changchang pushed his glasses.

"You didn't even take note of your own 'weaknesses' and preferences."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan carried her on his shoulders.

“Then add a little about yourself in the actual practice.”

"Hehehe..." The fox Xiaoyu let out a crisp laugh.

That night, Shu Chang learned a lot of new knowledge.

And they practiced it many times over the next few days.

Even Zhang Yuan improved his understanding of sports through this systematic learning.

In particular, Shu Chang improved his force-generating techniques after summarizing and analyzing the basics of mechanics.

Praise Newton...

"Brother Yuan, go get busy with your work. You don't have to accompany me for so many days."

A few days later, Changchang, who had already filled a notebook, hugged him and said with great satisfaction.

"I just happen to have time, so I'll stay with you for a while."

"Ok!"

Singing brings natural joy.

But in fact, after Zhang Yuan returned to the imperial capital, he deliberately stayed with her for a few days in order to avoid suspicion.

Who are you avoiding?
Yellow Holy Cloth!
Each actress in the crew of "Love Call Transfer" does not have too many roles.

Zhang Yuan contacted Xu Zheng and planned to make a guest appearance after Huang Shengyi and her unlucky boyfriend left the group.

This saves you from having to collide with another piece, which would be very troublesome.

Not to mention that Huang Shengyi kept pestering him, like a ghost that wouldn't go away.

I can’t stand Yang Zi’s long lectures to me all the time!

It's better to spend more time with Chang Chang, who is rarely seen. The two of them can also learn something together, which is better than being looked down upon on the set.

Another day or two passed before Zhang Yuan finally showed up.

"Oh, you're finally back!" When they arrived at the Xiaotangshan Film Set, Xu Zheng came to greet him in person.

"Has the endorsement been negotiated?" he asked in a low voice.

"more or less."

"Hey..." Xu Zheng looked at him with some envy, and then asked secretly: "How much did you negotiate?"

He is also from Shanghai, and has the more materialistic characteristics of Shanghai people.

"Trade secrets."

"It's still confidential..." Seeing that he was unwilling to say it, Xu Zheng knew that it must be confidential.

Yes, he played in "The Legend of the White Snake", which had extremely high ratings.

But what's the use?

His endorsement fees still can't go up.

Especially big brands, they basically won’t look for him.

Because her image and temperament don't match...to put it bluntly, she just doesn't look good.

Like Huang Bo, will luxury brands ask him to be their spokesperson?
Not to mention luxury goods, he is not even approached for luxury watches or luxury cars. He really suffered a great loss just because of his appearance.

Xu Zheng also has the same problem.

Not to mention anything else, just because I can't endorse shampoo, I will lose a lot of money...

So when he sees himself working hard to earn a few million by filming, while Zhang Yuan can make tens of millions with just one endorsement, this guy is very greedy.

"You really won't tell me?" Xu Zheng suddenly looked at him with a wicked smile.

"What are you planning?"

"Hey, you don't have to tell me, but you have to help me."

"What help do you need?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously, but he always felt that the other party had bad intentions.

"You'll find out later."

"Still mysterious..."

Zhang Yuan was not afraid.

When it comes to acting skills and work attitude, I have no problems.

I can handle any role.

Besides, Xu Zheng can use it himself, so he has to give him face.

"There's a new actor here today, let me introduce him to you."

After saying that, the bald man led Zhang Yuan to a woman with a graceful figure.

Then, a coquettish, enchanting female voice with a Taiwan accent reached his ears.

"You are Zhang Yuan!"

Xu Zheng hadn't even introduced himself yet, but this guy spoke first.

"You're taller in person than you look on TV."

"You too, are more beautiful than you look on TV, Sister Jingyi." Zhang Yuan responded quickly after realizing what was happening.

This person’s name is Wu Jingyi, of course, this is her real name.

Her stage name is Ino Kagami!

Seeing that Zhang Yuan called her by her real name, Sister Yi Nengjing immediately laughed.

"You know me well."

"I am a fan of yours." Zhang Yuan said politely, "I also have a friend who is a super fan of yours."

"I know, it's the guy called Qin Hao." Yi Nengjing thought for a moment, then replied, "The guy you asked Jingwen to let me record the birthday congratulations on DV."

"Yes, you have a good memory."

Zhang Yuan thought, she debuted as an idol when she was just a teenager, so her abilities in all aspects are beyond doubt.

And as an idol, having a skill is very important.

That's memory.

It’s not just about memorizing lines and lyrics, but also remembering people’s names!
If you can remember the names of all your old fans, this is definitely an important skill to win people's hearts and maintain fan enthusiasm.

"You and Jingwen?" After chatting for a while, Yi Nengjing looked at him with interest and asked at the same time.

"We are friends."

"What kind of friend?"

"The kind of friend you rarely contact after your partner gets married." Zhang Yuan realized what the other party was asking.

Not having sex with other people’s wives is one of Zhang Yuan’s taboos.

Doing so can avoid a lot of trouble, but the disadvantage is that it does not inherit the legacy of Wei Wu.

"If you have time tonight, let's have dinner together?" Zhang Yuan invited, "And let my friend meet the idol as well."

"Hahaha, sure."

Yi Neng Jing is also planning to develop in the mainland.

Moreover, her ancestral home is Zhangqiu, the place where green onions are produced. Like Cheng Hao, she is also a Shandong woman.

There is a hint of boldness in it.

She heard from Alyssa Chia that Zhang Yuan was doing well in mainland China and knew many directors.

That's why she asked about the relationship between Zhang Yuan and Alyssa Chia.

This person had good intentions, as he was afraid that Jia Jingwen and Zhang Yuan, who were already married and had children, would do something they shouldn't do.

At the same time, the reason why she was worried about Alyssa Chia was because her own marriage had problems.

"Spring Mud".

Many people know this song.

"Those painful memories."

"Falling into the spring soil."

"Nourish the earth and bloom the next season of flowers..."

Many people think that the title of this song, "Spring Mud", is taken from Gong Zizhen's "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai".

It means "fallen petals are not heartless, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers."

In fact, it is not.

The lyrics of this song were written by Yi Neng Jing for her husband Harlem Yu.

The word "Spring Mud" comes from "Spring Rain" by Tang Yanqian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yu Lang is riding his horse, but he is afraid of the spring mud."

The poems all contain the husband's surname.

It means that a man named Yu was riding a horse for fun in the spring rain, but was afraid that the horse would get stuck in the mud.

What kind of family does Harlem Yu come from? What is the background of Inoue Kagami?

The gap in family background is too big!

Even Liu Xiaoli and Lao An, who were considered a perfect match, divorced because of family and career issues.

Yi Nengjing's career ambition and temper are no less than Liu Xiaoli's, and the two have quite similarities.

This is also the reason why Liu Qianqian and Yi Nengjing have a good relationship. This person looks like her mother...

Harlem Yu is a filial son from a scholarly family and has been living with his parents after marriage.

So Ino Jing encountered the eternal problem, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In addition, Ino Jing is a person who extremely craves attention.

She was afraid that she would be the mud that would drag the musical genius Harlem Yu into the quagmire.

In short, the two had been in love for more than ten years and had a son. From the outside, they seemed to be a perfect couple and a perfect marriage, but in fact, they were on the verge of breaking up.

They are both separated.

Separation is good!

Zhang Yuan thought about it and realized that since they were separated, he might as well ask Qin Hao to come and show his face in advance.

Lay the groundwork for the future.

I called Qin Hao right away.

"Haozi, are you home?"

"I'm very busy. Many dramas want me to act in them." A voice from the northeast came immediately.

"Oh, forget it. I told you that Yi Neng Jing is in Xiaotangshan and asked you to come and have dinner with me."

"Well, actually I haven't filmed for three months, so I have plenty of time."

Zhang Yuan: …

No, what are you bragging to me about?

He didn't know that Qin Hao was getting anxious when he saw how popular he was recently.

I am older and a professional, but I still can’t get any work…

When Zhang Yuan asked him if he was free, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment and started to lie.

"Well, where is the address in Xiaotangshan?"

"I'll be right over."

Okay, that's all you have a hobby of.

Zhang Yuan gave him the address helplessly.

"Okay, I'll come right over... Actually, I'm not here to see the Ino Mirror."

"I mainly want to watch you act and learn from you."

This person also found a few nice words to add.

"Come on..." Zhang Yuan was too lazy to say anything to him.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan went to familiarize himself with his role.

His scenes were filmed in the evening, so he wasn't in a rush.

Two hours later, Qin Hao called him again.

Zhang Yuan will go pick him up right away.

"Where?"

"Where are the people?"

"Didn't you say you weren't in a hurry...and we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you don't care about me." Zhang Yuan complained.

"You and I see each other on TV every day. I want to meet my idol."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there..."

Zhang Yuan then led him to the filming location.

Just as he was approaching the crew, Xu Zheng came looking for him.

After introducing them to each other, Brother Shan Zheng grabbed his arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"You refused to tell me how much the endorsement fee was before."

"I told you to help more."

"I'm busy now."

"How to say?"

"You will have a scene with Ino Jing later."

Having said that, Xu Zheng suddenly laughed slyly.

“It’s a pretty good play.”

"Acting with Yi Neng Jing?" Zhang Yuan thought, isn't my character your ex-wife's current husband? And the script doesn't say there is any connection with Yi Neng Jing's character.

"You're still hesitating about being able to act with my idol!" Qin Hao on the side pouted and said, "I want to act, but I don't have the opportunity."

"Okay, get out of the way."

Zhang Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"What's the specific content?" he asked Xu Zheng who was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Hehehe, you and Ino Kagami are acting out... a sex scene."

Zhang Yuan: …

Qin Hao:!!!
After about half a minute, Zhang Yuan came to his senses and turned to look at Qin Hao.

"Why don't you come and watch me act?"

"Well, I'll show you in a minute, with your idol."

Qin Hao's expression at this moment was more vivid than Xiang Zuo's on the day Zhang Yuan went to visit him... (End of this chapter)
