Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

January 21st, seemingly an ordinary day.

It is the time when primary and secondary schools in China begin their winter vacation, while most universities have already started their holidays.

This day marked the 17th day since Avatar's release, with its total box office exceeding 6 million yuan, a record that Chinese-language films dare not even dream of at this stage, yet still leaving a lot of room for growth for Avatar.

Many people online were discussing this movie, analyzing it from multiple levels and angles.

People think this hype will continue for a long time, and it might even be Avatar during the Chinese New Year.

Just then, the popularity of a TV series quietly swept across the entire internet and even influenced offline activities.

Countless people began to discuss it.

The name of this TV series is "Chinese Paladin 3".

Produced by Tangren Media and co-produced by Universe Entertainment, this is a period fantasy drama series.

The male lead is Hu Ge, the second male lead is Zhang Li, the female lead is Yang Mi, the second female lead is Tang Yan, and the third female lead is Liu Shishi.

Hu Ge and Zhang Li are undeniably popular, Yang Mi is quite famous now, and Tang Yan and Liu Shishi are somewhat well-known.

Liu Shishi, in particular, has always been very popular as the actress who was the first to form a couple with Zhang Li in the TV series. After all, Tangren is also very good at marketing.

"The most handsome Yang Kang and Mu Nianci in history," "The most matching parents in terms of appearance in history," "In the most historically accurate."

Tangren Media attached various labels to Zhang Li and Liu Shishi, resulting in Liu Shishi being brought along with Zhang Li every time she became popular.

Because Zhang Li herself doesn't care, and Huanyu doesn't do any negative marketing, and Liu Shishi and Zhang Li's CP fans are very loyal, Liu Shishi has been able to ride the wave of popularity without being criticized.

"Chinese Paladin 3" can be considered as the second TV series collaboration between the two.

It aired during prime time on Hunan TV, and its premiere attracted a large audience.

It premiered on January 17 and immediately broke the 3% viewership rating, with an average viewership rating of 2.5%.

For the next four days, the ratings continued to rise. Although they did not reach 4, the average ratings broke through the threshold of 3, making it the highest-rated show in the country during its time slot, surpassing even the ratings of dramas broadcast by CCTV.

If it weren't for the abundance of reports about Avatar, information about this TV series would have been everywhere long ago.

However, good things come to those who wait, and the broadcast and dissemination of TV series and movies are ultimately two different things.

With primary and secondary school students on holiday, the popularity of "Chinese Paladin 3" could no longer be hidden and spread completely.

"My Weibo followers have exceeded five million. Weibo should give me a bonus."

Inside a villa in the capital, Zhang Li lay on the bed scrolling through his phone.

Weibo has only been officially launched for a little over three months, and currently has less than 30 million registered users, with daily active users only a few million, and sometimes even fewer.

In this situation, it's already outrageous for an account to have five million followers.

“You’re a shareholder yourself, so isn’t this also making money for you?” Liu Yifei lay down in Zhang Li’s arms, holding her phone in her hand.

She was originally a loyal user of Sohu Blog, and it was not in her life's trajectory that she would register for Weibo 11 years later, and she didn't update it frequently.

However, because of Zhang Li, she, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying and others are now all loyal Weibo users.

Zhang Li is currently the male celebrity with the most followers on Weibo, while Liu Yifei is the female celebrity with the most followers on Weibo.

With a touch of artsy sensibility, she enjoys sharing inspirational quotes and recording interesting things on Weibo.

"One yard owned by a yard."

"Shareholders earn money from shareholders, and celebrities earn money from publicity; there is no conflict between them."

"Weibo gave me five million, but only a few hundred thousand of that was for myself."

Zhang Li clearly distinguished between different situations.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Now that the hype is building, I've already had someone upload 'Love Through Lifetimes.' You should also promote it on Weibo and your blog. It's time to really make the hype go far."

Zhang Li reached out and tapped Liu Yifei's forehead.

"Okay~" Liu Yifei immediately sat up, copied the link to her song on Q Music, and then posted it on Weibo and her blog.

With a quick glance, she handed her phone to Zhang Li: "You edit the copy, you brilliant sir."

Zhang Li: “.”

"If you don't like to use your brain, you'll become stupid sooner or later."

With a laugh and a sarcastic remark, Zhang Li got to work.

Before long, a piece of copy was edited and published directly.

[Liu Yifei V]: Looking back, it has been five years since we filmed "Chinese Paladin 1". More than half of the ten years have passed. Thinking about the promise we made together back then, I still have expectations. Discussions about fate and understanding of love often appear in my life. So Ali wrote this song "Love Through Lifetimes".

Beginning and end, reincarnation is a circle!

"You really know how to write." Liu Yifei looked at the words and nestled her head in Zhang Li's arms.

Her song "Love Through Lifetimes" is the theme song, and its theme of love aligns with the theme of "Chinese Paladin 1".

Zhang Li's song "Forget Time" is the ending theme song, and the lyrics mention "time" many times, which fits the theme of reincarnation.

Those who don't know might think that "Chinese Paladin 3" is a sequel to "Chinese Paladin 2", or the third installment.

In fact, "Chinese Paladin 3" is the prequel to "Chinese Paladin 1".

The child of Xu Changqing, the second male lead in Chinese Paladin 3, and Zi Xuan, the second female lead, is the mother of Zhao Ling'er, the female lead in Chinese Paladin 1.

In other words, Xu Changqing is Zhao Ling'er's maternal grandfather, and Zi Xuan is Zhao Ling'er's maternal grandmother, as well as the successor of Nuwa's power.

With its interconnected structure and central theme, the revelation of this concept is sure to attract considerable attention.

And so it is.

With Liu Yifei's posts on Weibo and blog, the discussion surrounding "Chinese Paladin 3" which was already being discussed shifted.

[Ling'er, I never expected you to promote "Chinese Paladin 3"! It brings back memories of "Chinese Paladin 1," which is my cherished memory of youth.]

Many people like Li Yifei's portrayal of Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan; she is indeed beautiful. However, I think Li Ruotong's version is also good, and even better in some aspects. But Zhao Ling'er can only be you.

[Perhaps it's because I watched older versions of Jin Yong's novels, but even though I know Liu Yifei's version is more faithful to the original, I still didn't like Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan. However, Zhao Ling'er truly amazed me.]

There's no such thing as a fairy sister; I've always loved Ling'er.

[I didn't even realize she sang the theme song until Yifei mentioned it; it's beautiful.]

To be honest, I usually watch TV dramas by cutting out the beginning and end, but with "Chinese Paladin 3," I watched every single one from the opening theme to the ending theme, and I listened to the insert songs very attentively.

Honestly, the OST and BGM of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series are incredibly powerful; even the instrumental tracks are top-notch.

[Yifei, I love listening to you sing more. I'd like to create a playlist just for you.]

[Liu Yifei sang the theme song for "Chinese Paladin 3," so it seems she's reconciled with Tangren Media?]

【.】

Comments abound.

Most people praised Liu Yifei for singing this song.

Praise the song from every angle and give it a thumbs up.

This also brought great popularity to "Chinese Paladin 3", and many people were drawn to watch the TV series.

Now that primary and secondary school students are on holiday, they all decided to take a look after accessing information online.

That evening, as soon as the TV series premiered, its ratings immediately broke through 3.5.

This day happens to be the ninth episode.

In the TV series, Xuejian, played by Yang Mi, goes to the City God Temple to meet her personal maid, Xiaoyi. Jingtian, worried about Xuejian's safety, runs to find her.

On the way, Jing Tian met a girl named Long Kui who claimed to be his sister.

The appearance of Longkui immediately caught the attention of many people.

"So beautiful, I love this character named Longkui."

"He looks familiar; I feel like I've seen this actor somewhere before."

"Liu Shishi, who is said to be the younger Liu Yifei, played Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I think Yang Kang and Zhang Li are the best Yang Guo parents in history."

"She does have a bit of Liu Yifei's feel, but she also has a unique sense of aloofness."

"."

In countless households across China, people watching television chatted. Long Kui's makeup and styling were personally handled by Zhang Li, aiming for a look similar to Xing Shisi Niang, complete with colored contact lenses.

Now, Liu Shishi has become even more outstanding in terms of temperament, figure, skin, and other aspects.

It looks better naturally too.

"Brother Wang!"

In the TV series, Long Kui always followed Jing Tian closely, calling him "Brother Wang" repeatedly.

"I am the princess of Jiang Kingdom. My clothes were burned by the flames. Please help me find my 'Flowing Fairy Skirt with Wide Sleeves'."

Jing Tian was startled.

The Jiang Kingdom was destroyed a thousand years ago, and the "Wide-sleeved Flowing Fairy Skirt" is an immortal and incorruptible royal treasure from a thousand years ago. Jing Tian had actually seen it in a pawnshop.

Could this woman be a ghost?
She also had to wear a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress; they were treating him like a sucker.

However, Longkui persisted in clinging to him, determined to wear no other dress.

Out of fear and for peace of mind, Jing Tian returned to Yong'an Pawnshop and took out the skirt from the warehouse.

Just then, Xuejian came looking for Jingtian and saw Longkui without clothes on, which made her very angry.

"who are you?"

"What is your relationship with Jing Tian?"

"And who are you, and what is your relationship with him?"

The two started arguing over Jing Tian.

Xuejian felt jealous and, after returning to Yong'an Pawnshop, said in a fit of pique that she wanted to leave Jingtian and roam the world alone.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Since parting ways with Jing Tian last time, Xu Changqing has always regarded slaying demons and monsters as his mission.

He happened to encounter Chonglou, the Demon Lord, and tried to capture him. At that moment, in order to save Xu Changqing, Zixuan, a descendant of Nuwa, did not hesitate to break her promise and intervened to stop Chonglou.

"You are."

The moment Xu Changqing saw Zixuan, long-buried memories were awakened.

This woman was actually his lover across three lifetimes.

Zi Xuan came carrying the unfinished fate between the two from their previous lives.

This episode is over.

However, the broadcast generated a lot of discussion.

I think I'm in love. Should I choose between Longkui and Zixuan?

[How dare you start this? I just need one of them, anyone will do.]

[This is a gift from Xuejian to you, along with the berserk Longkui and Zixuan.]

I like mature, sophisticated women, so I want Zi Xuan.

I like women with elegance, specifically Longkui.

Children make choices; adults want it all.

[Haha, only children want it all; adults know they can't afford it.]

[Tangren's casting is superb; the actor playing a descendant of Nuwa truly lives up to his name.]

[Sparrow food, Tang Yan is one, Liu Yifei is one, and Sun Li is also very pretty.]

[A public confession of love to Zixuan.]

【.】

Which characters can capture your heart the moment they appear and become your ideal type?
Zhang Li provided the answer to this question on Weibo.

It was probably Zhu Yin Zixia Fairy blinking.

Zhao Min, played by Zhang Min, turns her head.

Chiu Shu-chen bites a playing card.

Liu Yifei said, "I have no money."

Zi Xuan appeared to protect her own, etc.
After the ninth episode aired, countless people were captivated by Tang Yan.

However, after the tenth episode aired, these people shifted their attention again.

Jing Tian took out the "Wide-sleeved Flowing Fairy Dress" from Yong'an Pawnshop and gave it to Long Kui. The pawnshop owner asked her to take off the dress, which Long Kui naturally refused. While everyone was arguing, Xu Changqing appeared and used money to resolve the matter. The group then embarked on a journey to find the Five Elemental Pearls.

Xu Changqing was puzzled by Long Kui's existence, so he tried to test her. Unexpectedly, she changed from a gentle and docile appearance to a fierce one, and her clothes turned red.

This situation has left an impression on many people.

[The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 is really good; it's full of handsome men and beautiful women, the plot is engaging, the acting is superb, and the costumes and props are top-notch.]

[The red dragon sunflower amazed me; it actually has two sides! One is a gentle, weak, and brother-obsessed woman; the other is a domineering and yandere type. Double the joy!]

I'm pursuing Liu Shishi and Tang Yan.

[Yang Mi is for you, but I want Liu Shishi and Tang Yan.]

【Then I'll choose Zhao Ling'er.】

【.】

After the two episodes of "Chinese Paladin 3" aired.

Because too many beautiful women appeared at once.

With Liu Yifei joining in the fun, the slogan "Four Beauties of Chinese Paladin" immediately came up.

Among them, Liu Yifei has the most die-hard fans, but since she was the female lead in the previous work, there isn't much discussion about her.

The real contenders in terms of screen time are Liu Shishi and Tang Yan, which is reflected in the rapid growth of their Weibo followers.

"I'm so angry!"

"Even though I'm the female lead, everyone likes Long Kui and Zi Xuan."

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to play Zi Xuan."

Inside a restaurant in Beijing, Yang Mi was browsing the internet on her phone when she saw everyone's comments, and she felt extremely frustrated.

“You didn’t play Zi Xuan as well, you didn’t have Tangtang’s commanding presence.” Zhang Li said bluntly.

But only now.

Five years from now, Yang Mi will still have that same vibe, but her looks won't be as good as someone who is a descendant of Nuwa.

“Exactly.” Tang Yan chuckled and nodded, happy that she was finally starting to gain popularity: “Ali is right. Although I went from being the female lead to the second female lead, I won’t gain any less than the female lead.”

The lead actress can play the role later, but the breakout role that fits her personality is something she should seize.

Fortunately, there was Zhang Li.

"Mmm!" Liu Shishi nodded in agreement.

"I'm giving you one more chance to speak!" Yang Mi placed the fork on Zhang Li's neck.

"Once Xi Yao appears, don't worry, those people will immediately say that Yang Mi killed me." Zhang Li replied sincerely, "At that time, my acting skills will also be recognized."

Long Kui has two sides, that's true, and Yang Mi even plays two roles herself.

Actually, boys don't like Xuejian because they think the character is noisy.

But upon closer examination, you'll find that this character is like a little sun, and has very positive values, making it hard to dislike.

"Then I'll spare your dog's life until Xi Yao makes her appearance."

Yang Mi sheathed her weapon and slightly raised her chin: "By the way, where's Yifei?"

Three of the four beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy are sitting here.

If a fourth person were here too, and everyone took a picture, wouldn't the buzz skyrocket? (End of Chapter)
