The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 159 The Legend of the Condor Heroes

On July 01, 7, a scorching afternoon, the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes finally held a press conference and announced the official start of filming.

Xu Jiuyang naturally participated and sat next to Li Dabai. Unfortunately, he couldn't say a word because there were so many reporters coming for him.

"Mr. Xu, when did you sign the contract with Xiaoyanzi?"

"Mr. Xu, do you think you can handle this role?"

"Mr. Xu, don't you think you should go and act in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"

Although the male and female protagonists Zhou Jie and Yang Rong shared some of the firepower, many reporters would ask Xu Jiuyang questions out of curiosity after being called.

This is normal. Among the four young main characters, not to mention Zhou Jie, Erkang and the young Bao Zheng make him uniquely popular in the mainland, and his acting skills are also impeccable. There is no problem for him to play Guo Jing.

Yang Rong is a little bit worse, but in this life, at least she has the high-rated "The Twins" as a foundation, and she is also cute. In terms of agility, she is not inferior to Xun Ge'er.

Although Li Xiaoran does not have many well-known roles, she has acted in many works and is not considered a newcomer in the circle.

Only he, Xu Jiuyang, had no reputation at all before and was not even 20 years old, but he started playing the second male lead in Jin Yong's drama. There must be some gossip behind this.

"I'm not a professional actor. I was actually an advertising copywriter at first, but Ms. Fan thought I was suitable to be an actor, so she signed me and recommended me to the crew. I'm very grateful to Producer Zhang for giving me the opportunity." Xu Jiuyang answered in a very regular and official manner.

Then Zhang Da Huzi took over the topic: "Although Xiao Xu is a newcomer, both his appearance and inner qualities are very suitable for the role of Yang Kang. Everyone should have seen it online."

This is why the crew chose to hold a press conference just before the filming started, because after the casting was finalized, the crew set up a special website online to live broadcast the actors' training.

Not only are there various looks of the actors, but there are also photos of them doing action training. Although they don't sell flesh like a so-called proton brigade in the future, the men are masculine and the women are beautiful.

Therefore, it aroused the interest of many netizens. Not only did the three major portals report on it, but many traditional media also reprinted it from the official website. Some well-known communities also held heated discussions.
It can be said that the popularity of The Legend of the Condor Heroes crew on the Internet far exceeds that of the same period in the previous life.

In particular, after some of the clothing styles were released, netizens unanimously called them ugly, so they were quickly removed from the official website, redesigned, and then posted again, and they were unanimously applauded again.

Zhang Jizhong would never have thought of such advanced publicity and hype. Looking at the entire crew, it could only be the work of Dong Qing, who represented Li Yunxin.

And then? Nothing happened. Xu Jiuyang bet that if he had the chance to ask Li Yunxin how she came up with these moves, she would definitely answer: You said it.

Okay, what I said is what I said.

However, Xu Jiuyang was still a little curious. How much did Li Yunxin give to Zhang Jizhong, or what evidence did she have on him that made him cooperate so well?

The press conference was over. Xu Jiuyang wanted to try to talk to Li Dabai, but the other party was obviously avoiding him and even asked others to help stop him.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ran asked me for a favor." Yang Rong stood in the way with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm just trying." Xu Jiuyang sighed and did not force his way past her to continue chasing her.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Li Dabai is not angry, but escaping.

"What's your relationship with Xiao Ran?" Yang Rong asked curiously, "Are you pursuing her?"

"Well..." Xu Jiuyang hesitated, ready to try to fool around, when he saw Yang Rong cross her arms unhappily, "Don't treat us like fools. The whole crew knows about the tug-of-war between you two."

"Ah?" Xu Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, then looked around.

Sure enough, because he moved so quickly, several crew members subconsciously avoided his gaze, but there were also people who gloated over his misfortune, such as Zhou Jie.

This guy even smiled and waved at him. Okay, Xu Jiuyang knew he had no ill intentions, he was just a straightforward person, and sometimes he spoke and acted without thinking.

The Zhou Jie who could leave Yi speechless in an interview matured after suffering a lot of losses. Although he is not a fool now, it is still too much to ask him to consider other people's feelings. In fact, even the mature Zhou Jie in his previous life was still a self-centered person.

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry… Xu Jiuyang said to himself, then shrugged: “She and I were boyfriend and girlfriend before, but we broke up because of a small matter. Now I just hope she won’t be angry with me anymore.”

"Is that so?" Yang Rong tilted her head and looked at him for a moment. "Alright, I'll believe you for now. If there's a next time, I'll be a little slower. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity. Of course, you're not allowed to force Xiao Ran."

"No, no, thank you, Xiaorong." Xu Jiuyang nodded.

"What do you mean by Xiaorong? You're younger than me, okay?" Yang Rong opened her eyes wide, "Call me Sister Rong!"

"Why not call her Rong'er?" Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but say something frivolous.

"Hey, Xu Jiuyang, you're taking advantage of me, right?" Yang Rong put his hands on his hips.

Although she was petite, which was in stark contrast to the 180-centimeter-tall and well-built Xu Jiuyang, she still had some aura at this moment.

"I wouldn't dare, Sister Rong, you are so magnanimous." Xu Jiuyang quickly bowed.

Yang Rong looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Forget it. I'm just helping you."

She extended her hand and said, "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Yang Rong, and I play Huang Rong in this TV series."

Although he was a little confused, Xu Jiuyang still shook hands with her: "My name is Xu Jiuyang, and I play Yang Kang in this TV series."

Then he saw that she was stunned, seemed a little surprised, and did not let go for a long time.

"Rong...Sister Rong?" Xu Jiuyang tried to call her and waved his hand in front of her.

"Ah...ah! Sorry, sorry!" Yang Rong finally reacted and quickly stepped aside.

Then, not only did her face turn red, but she also kept glancing at him.

Xu Jiuyang became more and more puzzled. What was going on? He had said nothing about her before, but she felt something when they shook hands?
Without thinking too much, he went straight to the parking lot where Zhang Yuning was already waiting.

"Let's go, go back and rest for two days, and then we'll officially start filming on Monday." Xu Jiuyang ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Zhang Yuning opened the car door for him.

After the car was on the road, she tentatively asked, "Mr. Xu, can I warm your bed tonight?"

Xu Jiuyang glared at her without saying anything, but Zhang Yuning had already lowered her head with a smile.

Seeing her like this, he could only sigh in his heart. He had originally said that he would never sleep with her, but he let her climb into bed just two days after bringing her home.

At the same time, the collection of handkerchiefs and cloth strips also increased again.

It was only in these few days that he paid his dues everywhere, including Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Qiaoqiao, and Qingshu Jiejie. He didn't leave any of them out, and even Huo Siyan was pestered to roll around again.

If Li Xiaoran had not broken up, this would not have been avoided - in fact, it was precisely because of her breakup with Li Dabai that his desire for Da Lei was not satisfied, which allowed Huo Siyan to take advantage of the opportunity.

That’s right, it’s definitely not because Huo Siyan is silly and cute, she’s even dumber than Li Dabai.
