Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

The work group for "Horizontal Blade" has already exploded with excitement.

He Zheng was clearly a little too excited, and he sent more than a dozen large red envelopes in the group chat in one go.

He Zheng: [@All members, did you all see that? It's gone viral! The trailer's data exploded across all platforms!]

He Zheng: [The production company just called me; based on those last ten seconds of footage, they're increasing the marketing budget by a third!]

He Zheng: [@Fang Yu, Xiao Fang, you're truly my lucky star!]

A long string of replies immediately appeared in the group chat.

Director He is awesome!

[Teacher Fang is awesome!]

[The box office success of "The Blade" is soaring!]

Fang Yu leaned back on the sofa, his hand speed, honed from being single for 24 years, exploded instantly, his fingers blurring as he swiped open three red envelopes in a row.

After grabbing it, I checked the total amount.

Received: 16.8 yuan.

He stared at the number on the screen, silently took a screenshot, and typed a message in the group chat.

Fang Yu: [Director He? ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

The group chat was silent for a second.

The next moment, the screen was filled with "hahahahaha".

Immediately afterwards, He Zheng sent another private red envelope.

Fang Yu clicked on it to take a look.

Five hundred yuan.

He Zheng: [Go buy some walnuts! Give them a good boost to your brain, and hurry up and finish the script!]

Fang Yu clicked "Receive Payment" with a smug look on her face.

Five hundred yuan is still money!

Forget about buying walnuts, it's enough to add a small barbecue meal!

He was happily making plans when he suddenly felt a light poke in his waist.

Fang Yu turned his head and met Liu Yifei's bright eyes.

"Swordsman, sir."

Liu Yifei deliberately dragged out her words, half-jokingly and half-seriously leaning closer: "You've had your moment in the spotlight, and you've even grabbed the red envelope."

"When exactly will I be able to submit my script for the female lead, 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy'?"

She waved the tablet in her hand; the screen was still frozen on the incredibly cool scene of Fang Yu delivering a fatal blow to the throat.

"I'm really, really looking forward to acting with you right now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu sat up straight, abandoning his lazy demeanor and adopting a serious expression.

"Fairy Sister, you've hit the nail on the head."

"Um?"

Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

"Creative work requires inspiration the most."

Fang Yu said in a serious tone, "The overall framework is fine, but recently when I wrote some core emotional scenes, I always felt that the emotional transitions were not natural enough."

"so what?"

Liu Yifei's curiosity was indeed piqued.

"So..." Fang Yu paused deliberately, his eyes sincere.

"I think it's necessary for us to completely recreate the scene of our first encounter on Fairy Spirit Island."

Liu Yifei blinked, still not quite understanding: "A complete replica?"

"right."

Fang Yu nodded solemnly.

"Especially the bathing scene."

"Although the script for that scene has been completed, it is, after all, the starting point for all the emotions."

"In order to prevent the plot from falling apart, we must go back to the beginning and collect the characters' real emotions again."

"Only through firsthand experience can one capture the true essence of the subject!"

At this point, he patted his chest dramatically and added:

"Don't worry, I'm a professional actor and a professional screenwriter."

"Throughout the entire research process, I guarantee that I will not let any personal feelings interfere; my main focus will be on dedicating myself to art."

The smile on Liu Yifei's face gradually disappeared.

She stared at Fang Yu for a full two seconds.

The next moment, a gray-white sofa cushion flew through the air in an arc and hit Fang Yu on the head.

"You wish!"

Liu Yifei grabbed her bag and coat, turned around and walked towards the entrance, announcing, "I'm home!"

Fang Yu peeked out from behind the cushion and continued shouting at her back:

"Don't go, fairy sister!"

"We can draw the curtains; I guarantee the environment will be completely private during our photo shoot!"

"If all else fails, I can just close one eye!"

His response was a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut.

Fang Yu touched his nose and couldn't help but lean back on the sofa and chuckle.

Teasing my wife is so much fun.

……

At the same time.

In another upscale apartment in Beijing, agent Sister Hong was sitting in front of her computer, repeatedly dragging the progress bar of the teaser trailer for "The Blade".

In the scene, Fang Yu, dressed in black and wielding a sword, draws his sword, spins, and delivers a throat-slitting motion. The entire sequence of movements is fluid and seamless.

Sister Hong watched those ten-odd seconds three times.

This kid...

Her period costume look is surprisingly good!

She immediately recalled what Liu Yifei had said in the office a few days ago.

"Sister Hong, make sure your film and television schedule is completely free for the second half of the year."

"I'm waiting for Fang Yu's script."

Hong Jie's first reaction was only two words: absurd.

A singer who has only been in the industry for half a year said he would write his own script, play the male lead himself, and even planned to have a national goddess like Liu Yifei act alongside him.

This doesn't sound like a project plan at all; it's just a decision made on a whim by a couple in the throes of new love.

Sister Hong was afraid that Liu Yifei would be blinded by love and ruin her promising future, so she tried to persuade her many times with earnest words.

But Liu Yifei's attitude was surprisingly firm.

Having no other option, Sister Hong could only rely on her connections within the industry to inquire about the so-called "Chinese Paladin".

It turned out that it would have been better if I hadn't asked.

When she inquired, she was completely stunned.

He Zheng.

That famous martial arts director, known for his pickiness in the industry and who dares to make even top-tier celebrities cry on the spot, has actually read the story outline and the scripts for the first few episodes!

Not only did I finish reading it, but I heard that He Zheng now urges me to update every few days, just like an old reader who has been driven crazy by the lack of updates.

This whole thing seems surreal no matter how you look at it.

But now, the trailer for "The Blade" is right in front of us.

Fang Yu only appeared for a dozen seconds, but with his stunning period costume, sharp action scenes, and amazing theme song, he managed to push the entire trailer to the top of the trending searches.

Netizens below collectively urged him to quickly enter the film and television industry and save the current eye-searing period dramas.

Seeing the screen full of praise, Sister Hong was seriously wavering for the first time.

perhaps……

Liu Yifei's insistence on clearing her schedule was not due to being love-struck.

If "Chinese Paladin" can be successfully adapted into a TV series, with a renowned director of He Zheng's caliber at the helm, coupled with Fang Yu's current terrifying star power, unfathomable creative talent, and Liu Yifei's widespread popularity...

Sister Hong took a deep breath, not daring to think any further.

If this combination were to actually be made into a film, the uproar it would likely be ten times more terrifying than that of "The Blade"!
