Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

This is a bald middle-aged man; there is not a single hair on his head.

It's not that we don't want to keep them, it's that we can't.

Because he was a workaholic, he was already bald before he turned thirty-five.

Later, he simply shaved his head completely.

Talk about it.

This guy is interesting.

When I first started out, I was just a general helper on set. Through continuous learning, I became a script supervisor, then a prop master, then a lighting technician, a cinematographer, an editing supervisor, an action director...

He has basically worked in every position within the film crew.

It can be called all-round.

Later, tired of constantly following film crews, he wanted to settle down and live a stable life.

It just so happened that Yang Mi was founding Jiaxing Media and recruiting staff.

So, I came to Jiaxing.

"Is it a fantasy/martial arts theme? But are these two sisters really young? Why do they have such old-fashioned names?"

It's not that Lü Liang had any complaints about the name.

It's youth...

The name stirred up his memories.

A few years ago, novels and martial arts TV dramas loved to use "XX Chuanlai" (a phrase from a popular TV series) in their titles.

For example, XX Heroes, XX Twin Heroes, XX Side Story...

Nowadays, such naming practices are rarely seen.

The popular fantasy dramas these days are all either ridiculously short or ridiculously long.

He was afraid the audience wouldn't understand how sophisticated his show's title was.

On the contrary, the simple name "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" resonated with him.

He thinks a simple name is fine; why bother with all those fancy names?

Of course, the title of the show isn't important; what matters is the content.

"I wonder what kind of story it will be?"

Lü Liang turned to the next page.

And next to him.

Ning Fei frowned deeply.

In the film and television department of Jaywalk Studio, he and Lü Liang had a particularly resounding nickname: "The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix".

This is quite a remarkable person.

In his early years, he became a household name across the country with his TV series "Burning Era," and became a well-known TV drama director.

But after that, he never stood up again.

Every film they make is a flop.

He was known as "Brother Impotence".

Later on, no one even had the resources to hire him for any more films.

Left with no other choice, I came to Jiaxing.

However, Yang Mi believes in his abilities. He is a very capable and talented person. It's just that he reached his peak at the beginning of his career and then encountered setbacks, making it difficult for him to overcome his mental limitations.

At this moment.

Ning Fei frowned:

"Fantasy dramas were alright a few years ago, especially when they first appeared. They were a huge hit genre, and you could make money no matter how you filmed them. But now... fantasy dramas are a huge pitfall."

"Recent fantasy dramas, despite being called fantasy dramas, are actually romance dramas. They're either about love or on the path to love. The gods cause human calamities and chaos in the three realms all for the sake of falling in love, which viewers find annoying after a while."

"Moreover, filming fantasy dramas is extremely expensive and they are prone to flopping!"

"While it is indeed easy to create a hit drama, it is extremely difficult."

"This pit is a damn pit of fire! These two sisters are really fearless, daring to promote such a difficult subject."

Ning Fei thought to himself, determined that if the script wasn't good enough, he would definitely persuade Yang Mi not to film it.

Although I read the script for "The Ring," I thought it was pretty good.

However, fantasy dramas are not something to be taken lightly; if you're not careful, you can lose money.

I directed a fantasy/martial arts drama script myself back then, and... it flopped!

Forget it, I won't say anymore. Talking about it will only bring tears to my eyes.

At this moment.

He glanced at his two "teammates".

Yang Mi stared intently at the script, occasionally letting out a soft chuckle.

Lü Liang was also completely focused.

and many more……

Something seems off about this atmosphere.

As for the two girls, You Mingyue, they sat together, wearing headphones, holding their phones horizontally and tapping away as if they were playing a game.

He seemed very confident in his script.

"I'd better take a look first."

Ning Fei also started reading.

……

Unlike the script for "The Ring", the script for "Chinese Paladin 1" lists the names of the characters and provides a brief introduction to each character.

"They've really put in a lot of effort..." Ning Fei thought to himself, praising them.

He had read many scripts, but one as detailed as this was rare.

Li Xiaoyao.

Zhao Ling'er.

Lin Yueru.

Anu.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult.

Qing'er.

……

Ning Fei skimmed through each character profile.

His expression grew increasingly solemn.

"It's not just a fantasy drama, it's actually an ensemble piece."

"You're really brave!"

It's important to understand that it's already very difficult to make a standout story centered around a single protagonist.

Moreover, it's a group portrait.

This makes the filming much more difficult than it would have been originally.

However, on the other hand...

In fact, there are advantages to group portraits as well.

For example, veteran actors especially like to act in ensemble dramas. After all, no actor wants to be just a background character; they also want to shine in the drama.

Moreover, the characters in ensemble dramas are generally very well-developed.

"No wonder they're the authors of 'The Ring'; these two sisters are quite something." Ning Fei remarked after reviewing all the character descriptions listed.

Although he still feels that the fantasy genre is a huge pitfall and it's best not to film it, at least in this script, the character settings are flawless.

Chapter 60 Yang Mi was tortured to tears

Yang Mi was also reading the script at that moment.

Once I turned to the first page, I couldn't stop.

Especially Li Xiaoyao.

The character was supposed to be a petty thug, but this made her feel that the role was very real.

Unlike many dramas nowadays, where the protagonist is an all-around warrior, invincible in every way and capable of everything.
