Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

On the morning of March 10, the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" officially commenced at Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang and Xinjiang.

The scene was decorated with red silk, incense tables, and fruit baskets.

The main creative team took their positions one by one, with producer Guo Jingyu standing in the center, and director Jiang Jiajun and the other main creators standing on either side of him.

When the auspicious time arrived, the ceremony officially began.

Guo Jingyu walked to the front of the stage and said to all the cast and crew present: "Today is a special day. It is both Mr. Jin’s birthday and the day our 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' officially sets sail."

From preparation to casting, we handled everything for this production, and the entire crew prioritized the quality of the filming...

Then came a series of instructions, followed by brief remarks from the director, producer, and others.

After the speech, the incense offering ceremony began.

Chen Xingzhou, who plays the male lead Guo Jing, followed Guo Jingyu and Jiang Jiajun to offer incense.

Li Yitong also followed, holding the incense stick. Although she had already filmed "Demon Girl", she was still a little reserved in the face of such a scene.

When Meng Ziyi saw Chen Xingzhou and Li Yitong standing close together, her face darkened again, and jealousy welled up quickly.

This further solidified her plan to "make Chen Xingzhou fall at her feet".

After everyone finished offering incense, Guo Jingyu's gaze fell on Chen Xingzhou and Li Yitong, and he specifically instructed them:

"Guo Jing and Huang Rong are the soul of the performance. You two need to keep your performance up. If you have any problems, come to me directly."

Chen Xingzhou nodded in agreement.

Li Yitong quickly bowed in agreement, her eyes filled with even more gratitude as she looked at Chen Xingzhou.

She quietly moved closer to Chen Xingzhou and whispered, "Teacher Chen, I'm so grateful that you were there for me just now, otherwise I would have been really flustered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Ziyi, who was standing next to Chen Xingzhou, immediately moved closer to him without making a sound, and said with a smile:

"Ms. Li, don't be nervous. With Producer Guo and Director Guo overseeing things, we can just focus on filming."

Her tone was polite, but it clearly distanced her from the two of them, and the jealousy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Chen Xingzhou glanced at her helplessly, not exposing her thoughts, and he felt that this might make Meng Ziyi feel the crisis.

He's familiar with the tactics of female rivalry.

He looked at Li Yitong and nodded: "Just focus on filming, I'm here."

"Um."

An hour later, during the interview segment, Guo Jingyu, in order to keep the newcomers in their best condition, did not let them come out to speak, but simply stood to the side.

When a reporter asked him whether casting new actors would be able to deliver a good performance, he replied with:

"If anyone is dissatisfied, don't criticize the actors, because they are all very young and they don't have the right to choose," she concluded the question.

After a brief interview, the opening ceremony officially ended, and Guo Jingyu announced that filming would begin promptly at 3 p.m.

……

At noon, while Chen Xingzhou was eating, Bai Mengyan sent him a message:

[Xingzhou, has filming started for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? I saw the interview.]

Is that Li Yitong the Huang Rong you recommended? She looks just like me...

Chen Xingzhou paused for a moment after seeing the next sentence.

He hadn't really thought of that. Wasn't this a reference to the three sisters, Li Yitong, Bai Mengyan, and Li Lin?

Li Lin is beautiful when she's not smiling, Li Yitong is beautiful when she smiles, and Bai Lu is funny to look at.

The three do look alike, otherwise no one would be unable to tell them apart, but Chen Xingzhou could tell them apart.

After all, he knew the other two people well, except for Li Lin.

Just as he was about to reply, another message from Bai Mengyan popped up:

[Xingzhou, I really didn't expect you to like me this much...shy.jpg.]

[The people I recommend all look so much like me, but you absolutely mustn't fall for one!]

If you miss me, come find me; otherwise, I can come find you.

I'll try my best to become your leading lady!

Upon seeing this, Chen Xingzhou couldn't help but smile; this girl had made it clear that he didn't need to explain himself.

There was a reason why he was with Li Yitong in his past life, but it was because they were very young. It's better to avoid explaining it.

He typed back: "Silly girl, just focus on filming the music video. I'll come find you in a while."

[Okay! I'll wait for you... looking forward to it.jpg]

……

At 3 PM, the crew officially began filming.

The first scene is the story of Huang Rong disguised as a little beggar and her first encounter with Guo Jing. The scene that follows is the story of Guo Jing going to his duel with Huang Rong and saying goodbye.

Because Chen Xingzhou and Li Yitong had a good understanding of the script during the previous reading, each scene was basically filmed only twice.

The filming proceeded smoothly over the next few days, with the crew moving between Hengdian World Studios.

On March 20th, the filming location was moved to the riverside of the film studio.

The first iconic scene in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is: [Huang Rong takes off her beggar's clothes and appears as the fairy Huang Rong].

Producer Guo Jingyu sat in front of the main monitor with a serious expression, and everyone on set was doing their job in complete silence.

Jiang Jiajun stood next to the camera position, repeatedly checking the camera angle.

This scene needs to capture Huang Rong's ethereal beauty upon her first appearance, as well as Guo Jing's shock and excitement upon seeing her.

Once everything was ready, the script supervisor clapped the clapperboard, and the production assistant shouted, "Action!"

The camera first pans across Chen Xingzhou, who arrives on horseback.

Dressed in coarse cloth, he pulled on the reins and rode his little red horse through the woods to the riverbank, where he heard a melodious song coming from the river.

The camera then pans to the river, where Li Yitong, who plays Huang Rong, stands on a small boat.

She wore a plain white silk dress, her long hair was lightly tied into a girl's bun, and two jade pendants hung on her earlobes.

She was still twirling a strand of hair between her fingers, humming a song softly.

Chen Xingzhou got into character, riding his horse with one hand, and came to the shore, his eyes drifting towards the river.

After seeing the person on the river, he suddenly tightened the reins, freezing on his horse.

His breathing became a little rapid; after all, he had lived on the grasslands since childhood and had never seen such a stunning beauty.

He immediately used his lightness skill to get onto the ship.

He stared blankly at the girl before him, head bowed, trying to recall the events, before suddenly snapping out of his daze, his voice filled with disbelief:

"You...you're Brother Huang?!"

Li Yitong's eyebrows curved into a smile, revealing Huang Rong's mischievous and clever nature: "What? You only recognize the little beggar in tattered clothes, but not me, a woman?"

She had just finished speaking, and her face, which had been somewhat sly, flushed instantly when she noticed Chen Xingzhou's burning gaze.

She subconsciously took half a step back, and her once fluent lines became somewhat hesitant:

"I...I..."

Li Yitong quickly looked away, not daring to look into Chen Xingzhou's eyes again.

Chen Xingzhou, on the other hand, blushed instantly and was somewhat at a loss, portraying Guo Jing's embarrassment and excitement after learning the truth.
