Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

During the May Day holiday in 2009, the crew of "Swords of Legends" did not take a break.

No matter which film crew I'm on, there are no holidays or breaks.

The reason is simple: if the production crew takes a break, wages, venue rental, and other expenses still need to be paid as usual. A shutdown would only cause the investors to lose money, so the investors do not allow the production crew to stop filming.

Another issue is that with all the actors on leave, it's easy for them to lose the performance state they've worked so hard to get into, making it difficult to get back into character later, which is detrimental to filming.

Therefore, neither the investors nor the director wanted to see the production completely shut down.

It's unavoidable when individual actors take leave; after all, actors have commitments and gigs to do, and they need to earn money. We can't prevent them from taking leave.

Of course, if it's a big director's crew, it won't be easy for a minor star to ask for leave, as it might displease the director and affect their career.

Take Yang Mi, for example. She offended a lot of people because of filming multiple projects at once. For instance, with "Tang Gui", the director didn't allow filming multiple projects at once, so none of the main cast members were popular celebrities. Of course, the main cast members of "Tang Gui" were all people with connections. Even if popular celebrities wanted to get in, they wouldn't be given any roles.

Besides Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, Li Lin, and Yuan Hong, the cast of "Swords of Legends" also includes Wang Like, Chen Xiao, Zhang Yang, and Lin Yushen, all of whom have worked with director Liu Junjie.

Therefore, the filming of "Swords of Legends" went quite smoothly. Of course, there were some issues, such as Yang Mi being constantly overshadowed by Zhang Yang after he joined the cast, which made Yang Mi very angry.

Especially since there were quite a few actors from the Central Academy of Drama in the cast, this was practically a public execution.

The saying "Beijing Film Academy produces stars, Central Academy of Drama produces actors" may be a joke, but it also reflects the fact that actors who graduate from the Central Academy of Drama are generally more skilled than those from Beijing Film Academy.

In order to get Yang Mi into the zone quickly, Liu Junjie solemnly instructed Zhang Yang to guide Yang Mi, so that she wouldn't keep making mistakes, which would waste both time and money.

Whether it was Yang Mi's spur to action or Zhang Yang's excellent guidance, Yang Mi's acting skills improved significantly during the subsequent filming, which sped up the production process considerably.

On May 5th, Zhang Yang learned from Yang Mi that Liu Shishi was coming to visit the set that afternoon, which surprised him a bit.

To be honest, Zhang Yang was naturally happy to welcome Liu Shishi's visit to the set. He was quite curious about this gentle and unassuming Liu Yifei.

Furthermore, Zhang Yang also wanted to try the saltiness of this little Liu Yifei. After all, if the real Liu Yifei couldn't have it, it wouldn't be bad to find a substitute to try.

Around 2 PM, Liu Shishi arrived at the film set. Of course, she didn't come empty-handed; she brought a bunch of drinks and bottled water.

When Liu Shishi arrived, the film crew was shooting a scene. The script supervisor signaled to her not to make a sound, so she could only wait on the side.

"Okay, that's a pass. Everyone, take a half-hour break!"

After everyone relaxed, director Liu Junjie suddenly shouted into the megaphone, "Miss Liu Shishi has come to visit Sister Mi on set! Everyone, please welcome her!"

Before the release of "Chinese Paladin 3", Liu Shishi was not very famous. However, since she was Yang Mi's good friend, Liu Junjie gave her a lot of face.

Yuan Hong, a contracted actress with Tang Yan, was naturally familiar with Liu Shishi and applauded her with great respect. Although the others did not know Liu Shishi, they still clapped to show their welcome.

Liu Shishi took two bottles of drinks from her assistant and asked the assistant to distribute them to the other actors and staff. Then she walked towards Tang Yan and Yang Mi.

"Candy, honey."

"Shishi!"

"Little Lion!"

The three best friends huddled together and chatted familiarly, occasionally glancing in Zhang Yang's direction.

Zhang Yang, with a mischievous grin, picked up his camera and took a picture of the three women.

The flash went off, and the three beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, who were all in the entertainment industry, immediately noticed it. They looked in the direction of the flash and found that it was Zhang Yang taking pictures of them with a camera.

"This scene is worth remembering."

Thinking about the love and hate between the three beauties of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Zhang Yang felt that this photo was very meaningful. It would be very interesting to show it to the three of them in a few years.

After taking the photos, Zhang Yang headed towards the three beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. When he got closer to them, Zhang Yang said to Liu Shishi, "You must be Shishi, the best friend that Mimi and Tangtang were talking about. Hello, I'm Zhang Yang. It's nice to meet you."

Liu Shishi extended her hand, shook hands with Zhang Yang, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Liu Shishi. Please take care of me in the future."

Zhang Yang didn't hold Liu Shishi's hand tightly; instead, he simply gave it a quick squeeze and then let go. As for the feel of her hand, it was just so-so, probably because she was too thin. The female celebrities Zhang Yang had met all had very thin hands, and they all felt uncomfortable to hold.

Although Zhang Yang didn't show any abnormality, Yang Mi's intuition told her that this scoundrel Zhang Yang was definitely not normal and was very likely to have taken a liking to Liu Shishi.

She didn't want her best friend to fall into the hands of that scoundrel Zhang Yang, so she smiled and said, "Shishi, why don't you play a cameo role later? It would make up for the regret that the three of us best friends can't work together again."

It was just a cameo role, and Liu Shishi didn't refuse.

Zhang Yang subtly observed Liu Shishi. He had to admit that Liu Shishi had a remarkable temperament, giving off an air of elegance and gentle tenderness.

Comparing Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan, the three beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, Zhang Yang still thought Liu Shishi was the most beautiful. Of course, Yang Mi was also very beautiful after having her teeth pulled, but Yang Mi in her early twenties was slightly inferior to Liu Shishi.

In his past life, when Zhang Yang watched "Chinese Paladin 3", he felt that Long Kui had more temperament than Xue Jian. After all, Tang Xue Jian, played by Yang Mi, gave people the feeling of a savage girlfriend, while Long Kui, played by Liu Shishi, was obviously the goddess in the hearts of otaku.

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Shishi with a smile and said, "Shishi, you studied dance before, so your dance skills must be very good, right?"

Liu Shishi smiled at Zhang Yang: "Yes, although I wouldn't dare say I'm outstanding, my dance skills are pretty good in the acting industry."

"Haha, I can tell. If you weren't really good at dancing, you wouldn't be so confident."

Zhang Yang pretended to think for a long time before finally saying, "Shishi, are you interested in making a movie?"

"Movie?"

Liu Shishi's beautiful eyes lit up: "Of course I'm interested in making movies."

"I see. I'm planning to invest in a kung fu special effects movie with Eastern mythology elements, and I need a female lead who can fight."

Upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, and she was already feeling overjoyed.
