This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 484 Secretary Li, bring my flying sword up.
Soon, the video posted by the Legend of Sword and Fairy production team on Douyin (TikTok) went viral.

Some netizens who were unaware of the facts came across this video while casually scrolling through videos on Douyin. They saw it was a news article and were about to scroll past it.

As soon as the news started playing, everyone stopped typing.

What kind of news is this?

Is this legitimate news?
What's with the Legend of Sword and Fairy drama crew? Is this how entertainment news reports things now?
Upon seeing this, netizens watched the video until the very end.

After watching it, everyone gave it a thumbs up.

"This news is brief, but it contains a lot of information."

"I'm truly speechless. Who told Lu Ran to do this?"

"I laughed the whole time, so who exactly sent Lu Ran on this visit to learn from them?"

"It was Shengxie who invited them!"

Before long, the video was reposted on Weibo by marketing accounts.

A trending topic quickly climbed to the top of the entertainment trending list.

Lu Ran led a delegation from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series on a study tour.

The trending topic quickly gained popularity and soon reached number one.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry knew about the agreement that Lu Ran and Sheng Xie had made.

Now, after seeing this video, even the celebrities have fallen silent.

Lu Ran was genuinely here to learn!
But why does it seem like Shengxie isn't getting any benefits at all?
The phrase "三阳开泰" (San Yang Kai Tai) never appeared in the entire news report.

The extras finally managed to put up a banner to demand their wages, but the name of the production crew on the banner was blurred out.

Lu Ran is not giving "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity" any attention at all.

The Sanyang Kaitai film set.

Sheng Xie put down his phone, which displayed the news video.

"Aren't you bullying an honest person?!"

Sheng Xie clenched his fists.

He finally sensed Xu Gaomin's helplessness.

"Who the hell said Lu Ran is upright and honest? Is he really upright?"

Sheng Xie recalled the entire process of Lu Ran leading his team to visit.

The fact that everyone was dressed in formal attire shows how much importance they attached to this learning opportunity.

Throughout the entire visit and learning process, he never uttered a single negative word; instead, he remained humble and eager to learn.

They can't find fault with the gifts they give.

When the extras finally demanded their unpaid wages, Lu Ran didn't make any sarcastic remarks; in fact, he even spoke up for them.

They even thoughtfully blurred the name of the "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity" production team in the video to avoid any negative impact on the production team.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Ran did everything very well.

But why is the final result wrong?

"I'm sick!"

Sheng Xie's mentality collapsed.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran and the others returned to the film set and began their final preparations.

To improve work efficiency, Lu Ran directly assigned He Dawei the job of director as well.

David He brought a set of shots needed for the shoot, while Lu Ran brought a set of shots related to Li Xiaoyao.

Douyin has also reached a deep cooperation with "Chinese Paladin".

On the phone, Sun Kai asked the most important question.

How do you plan to broadcast it?

Lu Ran: "I don't want to finish filming before broadcasting. Let's film and broadcast simultaneously."

All preparations for this part have been completed.

Several special effects companies devoted themselves wholeheartedly to serving "Chinese Paladin".

There was another reason why Lu Ran dared to do this: he had a whole set of images in his mind.

There's definitely a difference between writing homework and copying homework. Writing homework might take several hours, while copying homework only takes a few minutes.

In addition to his various talents in directing, he is fully capable of filming and broadcasting simultaneously.

While this might not be possible on other platforms, it's perfectly feasible on Douyin.

After these things were done, filming for "Chinese Paladin" officially began.

In the dressing room, the stylist finished Lu Ran's hairstyle.

Lu Ran and his team first filmed the scenes on Fairy Spirit Island.

Although the TV series "Chinese Paladin" is adapted from the game, in general, the TV series is not actually very related to the original game.

This TV series tells the story of Li Xiaoyao, a small-time hoodlum in Yuhang Town, who travels to Xianling Island to seek medicine for his sick aunt. There, he meets Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa who lives in seclusion. The two fall in love and even go through the wedding process.

However, Li Xiaoyao had previously taken the Forget-Worry Gu given to him by the Moon Worship Cult. After the Forget-Worry Gu took effect, he lost all his memories of Immortal Spirit Island.

Soon after, Zhao Ling'er's maternal grandmother was killed by the Moon Worship Cult. Before her death, she entrusted Zhao Ling'er to Li Xiaoyao, asking him to escort her back to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

This is also the content of the first three episodes of the TV series.

Li Xiaoyao continued to grow throughout his life, transforming from a glib-tongued waiter into a great hero.

The two female characters, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru, each have their own growth storylines.

The core of the entire drama is the concept of fate. A group of young people try to rebel against their destiny, but ultimately find that their efforts actually contribute to the fulfillment of their destiny.

Even Li Xiaoyao couldn't be carefree. In later episodes, he traveled back in time to ten years earlier to change everything.

In reality, he didn't change anything.

Li Xiaoyao's personality is also divided into two parts: one is a glib-tongued character, and the other is a great hero.

This time, the costume look is different from the common hairstyles in current period dramas where the hair is combed back.

After getting his look done, Lu Ran took a few photos and posted them on Douyin (TikTok).

"Just wanted to let all the viewers who are following the Legend of Sword and Fairy series know that filming has officially begun!"

In the photo, he still has the image of Li Xiaoyao from the early days.

Everyone burst out laughing when they saw his appearance.

"Good heavens, what kind of costumes are these? Is this really a fantasy drama?"

"Lu Ting's ancient costume style is still as elegant as ever, but is this outfit really that casual?"

"Director Lu, are you really not considering getting dressed in all white?"

It's no wonder that netizens reacted so strongly.

You need to know what period dramas have been like in recent years.

When it comes to fantasy dramas, everyone is dressed in white.

The male lead's white clothes looked like they were welded on, and everyone got used to it after a while.

What they want is for you to get used to it.

In the past, popular celebrities were criticized so harshly, but look at how many viewers' judgments have been subtly changed now.

Li Xiaoyao's look is quite different from most dramas on the market.

Lu Ran ignored the online discussions and threw himself into the intense filming process.

Filming takes place here, and editing and post-production begin immediately there.

Under Lu Ran's guidance, the group of actors thoroughly understood their roles and quickly got into character.

In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed.

At night, under the illumination of lights.

Lu Ran plays Li Xiaoyao, along with Lin Yueru, Aqi, Anu, Tang Yu, Elder Shi, and a group of others.

Laughter echoed across the fields.

Li Xiaoyao shouted to the sky, "I, Li Xiaoyao, will become the greatest hero in the world! I will fight against evil and help the weak! I will leave my name in history!"

The actress who played Lin Yueru also came up and shouted, "I, Lin Yueru, will make Lin Family Fort the number one gang. I am the female gang leader."

The scene that Lu Ran and the others are filming right now is a famous scene from the game "Chinese Paladin".

This was arguably the most heartwarming moment in the entire series.

Zhao Ling'er, Liu Jinyuan, Tang Yu, Anu, and others also voiced their thoughts.

"Alright, let's part ways today, and meet again in ten years!"

Li Xiaoyao stretched out his hand, and everyone else followed suit, placing their hands on his palm.

After filming this scene, Lu Ran went to the monitor to watch the last shot.

"No problem, keep one more."

Everyone happily took another set of photos.

Just after the photo was taken, Li Quan handed Lu Ran's phone over.

"It's Mr. Shen on the phone."

Lu Ran immediately called.

As soon as the call connected, Mrs. Shen's somewhat tired voice rang out.

"The first five episodes are finished. The subsequent production will be faster, and it won't take this long next time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Qingyi. I can't thank you enough. I'll talk about how to repay you when I get back."

"You're the one who's had a tough time. I'm fine. You should take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."

Lu Ran: "The blanket is a bit cold at night."

"Pour a pot of boiling water onto the blanket and sleep while it's still hot."

"Okay, I'll try it tonight."

After finishing his conversation with Mrs. Shen, Lu Ran tossed his phone to Li Quan.

"That concludes today's filming. Actors, you can leave now. Lighting and camera crew, please stay and film something with me."

In the film and television industry, working overtime is very common.

This is determined by the nature of the work; some scenes need to be filmed at night, and some need to be filmed during the day.

In addition, there are some uncertain factors during the filming process, making it impossible to control the time precisely.

Lu Ran's actions were very simple; he was simply doing what a law-abiding citizen should do.

That means working an eight-hour workday, and those working more than eight hours will be paid overtime.

There were no complaints about the lighting or the camera work.

Ning Sirou and Luo Kai, however, were quite curious.

Ning Sirou: What are you planning to film?

"The first five episodes of 'Flying Sword' are finished. 'Chinese Paladin' will be broadcast soon. I'll give it a boost."

Lu Ran said directly, "Secretary Li, bring my flying sword up."
