Chinese Entertainment: Directors Start with the Fairy Sister

"A bunch of Muggles!"

"What do you mean by 'washed-up fat fairy'? That's called 'refusing cosmetic surgery and growing up gracefully and naturally'!"

Do you even understand the destructive power of the phrase "white moonlight"?

"Who says liking a celebrity means you have to vote and manipulate data? I want to sleep... no, I admire her mom, is that considered idol worship? Idiot!"

Zhao Yanxi's fingers moved like a blur, her keyboard moves like a dragon, unleashing three attacks in a second, fiercely confronting countless haters.

You're so argumentative just reading a Chinese entertainment novel. If you don't like Liu Yifei as the female lead, don't click in!

The book's title and synopsis clearly state "Single Female Lead Liu Yifei," yet people still insist on asking, "Did you get paid?", "Is she called Fat Fei now?", "It's that woman again, so annoying..."

It's really annoying!

Although most readers are well-mannered, sometimes a few bad apples can really spoil the whole bunch!

Zhao Yanxi cursed and turned off Qidian.com, glancing at the time on her phone.

"Holy crap, it's 3 AM again!"

That's it, arguing with idiots is a complete waste of my life. Tomorrow I have to wrap up filming my first short drama as a director, so I need to stay in top form.

Time to pee, time to sleep!

Zhao Yanxi sprang up like a carp—and immediately realized something was wrong. He had been sleeping on the edge of the bed, his lower body almost dangling in the air, so this sprang up left him with no point of support.

A carp leaping up? It's more likely it'll turn into a salted fish flipping over.

Even if a salted fish flips over... it's still a salted fish.

"Click—"

He seemed to hear a cracking sound as his herniated disc broke free from his spinal cord, and then everything went black.

"I'm doomed... My browser history hasn't been cleared yet..."

...

When people sleep, they always experience a momentary feeling of weightlessness.

The unscientific explanation is that your body doesn't want to sleep; the scientific explanation is that your brain is determining whether you are still alive.

Zhao Yanxi didn't know if the definition of scientific and unscientific was a standard set by certain experts.

Anyway, he felt that his fall this time seemed to have been rather long.

It felt like a very long time had passed...

When I opened my eyes again, what a beautiful face came into view—skin as white as snow, pure and otherworldly, with a pair of eyes wrapped in a thin ribbon.

Her innocence is enhanced by a touch of allure.

"Liu Yifei?!"

Zhao Yanxi's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

He suddenly looked down at himself—he had somehow changed into a coarse Taoist robe, with a long sword at his waist.

He instinctively gripped the scabbard, and in the dim light, he could barely make out two ancient seal characters engraved on the blade:

"Complete Truth".

The Quanzhen Sect?!

An absurd yet ecstatic idea exploded in his mind like a thunderclap!

cross!

Did I somehow get transported to another world?

I've been transported to the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?!

Heaven has eyes! It has indeed not let down my love for Liu Yifei... no, for Xiaolongnu over the past ten years!

Although Liu Yifei is not Little Dragon Girl, the Little Dragon Girl in front of us is Liu Yifei herself!

What do I like about Liu Yifei? I just want her body!

Pah, despicable. I even curse myself when I go crazy!

But if Liu Yifei's version of Little Dragon Girl were to sleep right in front of you, giving you the chance to become a Dragon Knight, wouldn't anyone go crazy?

Let us drink and be merry while we can, lest we leave our golden goblets empty before the moon!

Zhen Zhibing... no, from today onwards, the title of Dragon Knight should be given to someone else!

Such a golden opportunity, if we don't seize it now, when will we ever get another chance?

A surge of adrenaline rushed to his head, and his reason was instantly overwhelmed by this timeless fervor.

Looking at that sleeping face so close to hers, completely unguarded, Zhao Yanxi could no longer restrain herself.

He held his breath, with a pilgrimage-like excitement, and carefully yet without hesitation leaned down to kiss those slightly pursed lips.

Closer, even closer! He could even count the slight trembling of her eyelashes…

"Click!!! Zhao Yanxi! What the hell are you doing?!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in his ears.

Zhao Yanxi jolted, his movements abruptly frozen in mid-air. He looked up in astonishment, only to see the dazzling lights around him suddenly illuminate the once dark "flower bushes" as bright as day.

Cameras, reflectors, microphones... and a group of staff members dressed in modern clothes, looking at him with various expressions of astonishment, confusion, and suppressed laughter, suddenly entered his field of vision.

That angry roar just now came from behind the monitor, from the director wearing a baseball cap and with a stubble.

The director, his face flushed with anger, slammed the script on the table: "Is this scene in the script?! Huh?! Who told you to add this scene?! You're Zhen Zhibing! A disgrace to the Quanzhen Sect!"

"Not some fucking horny teddy bear! What was that expression you were making just now?! I want a lewd struggle, not some fucking lottery jackpot winner!!"

"Who told you to actually kiss her? Didn't we say we'd fake it?"

"I……"

Zhao Yanxi was completely stunned, her mind went blank.

He looked around at the familiar film set and the busy modern film crew...

All of that just now, the tranquility of the flowerbed, the ecstasy of the journey, could it be... could it just be a dream he had when he fell off the bed?

A vividly real... erotic dream born from an obsession that runs too deep?

"A bunch of Muggles!"

He subconsciously muttered a line from his dream where he confronted his haters, trying to regain a sense of control.

"What did you say?!"

The director didn't hear clearly, but judging from his expression, he knew it wasn't a nice thing to say, and his anger flared even more.

"No...no director!"

The fear of being controlled by the director made Zhao Yanxi subconsciously straighten her body, and cold sweat instantly soaked through the back of her Taoist robe.

He looked at Liu Yifei, the "Little Dragon Girl," who had been helped up from the rope by her assistant and was giving him a cold, indifferent glance. His face flushed red and then turned pale with embarrassment.

It's over, it's over.

Not only will his time-travel dream be shattered, but in reality, he might be fired from the production team for "harassing actresses" and "adding scenes without permission"!

But...shouldn't he be a director in real life?

The executive director is still a director, how come he's also an actor?

Just as Zhao Yanxi was wondering, a cluster of illusory memories suddenly surged into his mind, like a movie at ten times the speed, flashing past his eyes.

The wildly spinning screen made Zhao Yanxi feel dizzy.

Should one choose the flowerbed with its sprawling branches, or the sweet and soft Liu Yifei, or the still charming Liu Yifei?

Zhao Yanxi wasn't stupid; his last bit of clarity allowed him to retain a sliver of reason, and he collapsed directly towards the two of them.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Zhao Yanxi?!"

"Little Zhao?!"

Suddenly, a jumble of shouts came from above.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yanxi could no longer hear. Fortunately, he didn't hit the rock. Although Liu Yifei and Xiao Liu reacted quickly, they still left him a shoe to protect his fragile head.

In the last glimpse of my gaze, I looked up and saw that pert nose tip without any obstruction.

What a pity... its only "flaw"...

......

"Old Wang, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing serious. It's probably just low blood sugar from not eating breakfast. Everything else is normal. You'll be fine after lying down for a while."

"Quickly wake him up, don't delay the filming! Did anyone bring some candy? Give him one."

That despicable bearded man! It's already a work-related injury, yet he still wants to exploit the patient!

After a period of unconsciousness, Zhao Yanxi finally came to her senses about the current situation.

He did time travel, but he didn't travel to the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," but rather to the theater of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," roughly in October 2004.

I traveled back more than twenty years!

Or rather, he had traveled to a world where the timeline was still in 04.

That year, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had not yet finished filming, and "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu Hustle" had not yet been released. Liu Yifei had just gradually become popular with the broadcast of "The Story of a Noble Family" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The nickname "Fairy Sister Wang Yuyan" began to circulate in a small circle.

However, this world is somewhat different from what Zhao Yanxi remembers. If he remembers correctly, the actor who played Zhen Zhibing in Liu Yifei's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" should be Cheng Haofeng from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

When Zhao Yanxi was the executive director, he met him twice and expressed his great envy.

However, in this particular time and space, it was this body that took on the role.

Coincidentally, the owner of this body was also named "Zhao Yanxi," sharing the same name as Zhao Yanxi, only with a slightly different identity.

In this life, "Zhao Yanxi" is not a directing student, but a cinematography student from the 02 class of the Beijing Film Academy.

He's a master of cinematography, but quite talented in acting.

He didn't have any other skills, but he won over Zhang the Beard with his face and professionalism.

While working as an intern cinematographer on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," he also made a cameo appearance as Zhen Zhibing.

If we're really talking about skill, perhaps it's because he lived at the foot of Wudang Mountain for over a decade when he was young, and was quite familiar with those Taoist priests, learning a skill of pretending.

However, despite learning, the original owner was not a true Taoist.

Instead, they are ordinary people who are greedy for fame and fortune. Perhaps because they grew up in poverty, their knowledge of the outside world often comes from that small television.

Therefore, the original owner had been full of fantasies about the film and television industry since childhood, and longed to stand in the spotlight and become the focus of everyone's attention.

Therefore, after receiving a substantial compensation payment following her parents' unexpected death, Zhao Yanxi resolutely applied to the Beijing Film Academy.

After failing the audition for the acting department, she switched directly to the photography department, intending to take a roundabout approach to achieve her dream.

"You silly boy, I'm a renowned short film director, how did I end up as an actor?"

"Sigh, I won't use your body for nothing."

"Leave your dreams to me to help you achieve them!"

"Perfect timing, this is also my dream."

But... thinking of this, a strong sense of regret welled up in Zhao Yanxi's heart.

What a pity! What a hateful thing!

Just now, with such a good opportunity, their lips almost touching, he actually failed to take advantage of the moment and steal that first on-screen kiss that belonged to "Little Dragon Girl"!

He really sacrificed decades of his single life cultivation in his previous life for nothing!

...

In her drowsy state, Zhao Yanxi suddenly heard a cute little voice say, "Director, I don't have candy... but I have AD calcium milk..."

"Milk will do, just force it down his throat!"
