HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

After this incident, the actresses' cooperation improved significantly.

Qin Feifei, in particular, really listened to what Xu Lang said.

During the recording, I really didn't look at the camera; I was completely immersed in the game.

He was really into it!

I'm very happy!

Time flew by and it was already April 28rd.

The special adapted version of "Happy Camp" has also been recorded.

Ultimately, the original two episodes were combined into one extended version, scheduled to air on the evening of January 1, 2005, as part of the New Year's Eve gala.

Afternoon of the 28th.

After the recording was completed, everyone began to disperse.

Unlike the cast of "Chinese Paladin," who had their own activities, the actors of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" gathered and went to Jiuzhaigou to hold a ceremony to mark the start of filming.

"Xu Lang, aren't you going to our opening ceremony?"

Qin Feifei invited Xu Lang.

"Well..."

Xu Lang was pondering the recent events in his mind.

"Starting tomorrow, the 29th, 'Happy Camp' will have three days of advance promotion and hype, and other..."

As he was thinking, he saw director Yu Min walk over, pat Xu Lang on the shoulder, and say:

"Xu Lang, don't forget, you're an official member of our crew. Producer Zhang specifically instructed that you have to attend the opening ceremony."

Hearing this, Xu Lang made up his mind and said accordingly:

"Since Director Yu has put it that way, how could I dare not go?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feifei, who was standing next to him, was very happy. After all, she and Xu Lang had been separated for so long, and this time, with so many people and so many things to do, she and Xu Lang had only spent a short time alone together.

After Yu Min left, Qin Feifei whispered to Xu Lang:

"Haha, let's see how you run now!"

Xu Lang glanced at Liu Yifei and Yang Mi not far away and said with a smile:

"With three beautiful women like you around, how could I possibly run away?"

Liu Yifei, who was not far away, felt both happy and conflicted when she heard that Xu Lang was going.

As a "young couple" who were secretly in love, Liu Yifei naturally hoped that Xu Lang would go.

But he was also worried that if he spent too much time with Xu Lang, he would lose control of himself.

Seemingly sensing her daughter's thoughts, Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly when she heard that Xu Lang was also going, and subconsciously moved closer to Liu Yifei, her intention to protect her quite obvious.

Besides Qin Feifei and Liu Yifei, another great beauty, Yang Mi, also hopes that Xu Lang will go along.

After all, Xu Lang's photography skills are becoming increasingly well-known in the industry, so it would be great to have him take a set of promotional photos.

If Xu Lang goes along, he'll have a chance!

That noon, the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" set off for Jiuzhaigou.

Early morning of the 28th.

The film crew's bus drove into the Jiuzhaigou Paradise International Conference Resort at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou Valley.

After traveling for most of the day, everyone was exhausted.

After the rooms were assigned, everyone went back to sleep and rest.

the next day.

At 9:30 a.m., everyone in the film crew headed into the scenic area.

Xu Lang, carrying his camera, strolled through the scenic area in high spirits.

"Producer Zhang really knows how to pick locations."

A moment later, the sound of clear water could be heard not far ahead.

Turning past a clump of trees, a waterfall suddenly appears before your eyes—the iconic Pearl Shoal Waterfall of Jiuzhaigou.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered around the waterfall, including tourists and a large number of reporters.

Clearly, these reporters were there to film the opening ceremony of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Xu Lang was still immersed in the awe of Pearl Shoal Waterfall when he heard a familiar voice beside him.

"Haha, only a scenic spot like this can match your ethereal attire."

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Jizhong, Yu Min, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming, and other key members of the production team emerged from the boardwalk beside the waterfall.

"The celestial beauty with two immortals has appeared!"

This one sentence instantly killed countless rolls of film.

Dozens of reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, snapped photos of Liu Yifei as she walked out.

Xu Lang also raised his camera to look, and saw that Liu Yifei had changed into the classic white gauze dress of Little Dragon Girl.

The white gauze dress fluttered in the wind, and the spray from the waterfall behind her added to the ethereal feeling.

"It's so beautiful!"

As the crowd discussed this, Xu Lang also raised his camera and looked at Liu Yifei.

I have to say, Liu Yifei's portrayal of Little Dragon Girl is absolutely stunning!

"That's the feeling!"

Xu Lang zoomed in on Liu Yifei's face with his camera, and couldn't help but mutter to himself,

"Why does this girl seem to have lost weight? She's lost a lot of her baby fat!"

As he was watching, he heard an assistant director from the film crew addressing everyone.

"The crew members, gather over here. Our opening ceremony is about to begin."

Friends from the media, please step back.

The crowd surged, and Xu Lang put away his camera and walked towards the center.

The opening ceremony was solemn yet simple, with Zhang Jizhong and actor representative Huang Xiaoming both giving speeches.

Then it was time to take photos.

Unlike the photo session at the opening ceremony of "Chinese Paladin", the opening ceremony of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" invited a large number of media outlets.

In other words, this is also the first official appearance of the production team's costume photos.

That's why Zhang Jizhong is so good at marketing and promotion!

He can seize any opportunity to create hype.

This official costume unveiling was also the highlight of the press conference.

From individual character photos to group photos of multiple actors, there's something for everyone.

To promote the film, the production team was very cooperative with the media, and the director team tried their best to meet any requests from the media.

"Hey, little girl, move aside."

A reporter carrying a camera called out loudly.

Xu Lang looked into the room and saw Yang Mi being pulled out by the assistant director who had just organized the event.

Yang Mi, who was pulled out, pouted and looked somewhat unhappy.

But then, seeing that the previous set of photos had finished, she excitedly ran back onto the set, shouting as she went.

"Let me take a picture with my sister-in-law."

The sister-in-law that Yang Mi mentioned is Liu Yifei. In the drama, she plays Guo Xiang, who calls Yang Guo "elder brother" and Xiaolongnu "sister-in-law," which isn't bad.

Liu Yifei didn't leave the scene from the very beginning of the photo shoot.

Now that Yang Mi has come again, she doesn't know what to say, so she just smiles and waves to Yang Mi.

Yang Mi moved closer to Liu Yifei, took her arm, and smiled sweetly.

But instead of the camera shutter clicking, a reporter stood up and yelled at Yang Mi:

"Hey little girl, step back a bit, you're putting yourself in the presence of a fairy godmother."

"Well..."

Yang Mi's face, which had been smiling brightly just moments before, suddenly darkened, but she quickly recovered. At the same time, she swayed slightly, seemingly moving backward, but Xu Lang noticed that her position remained unchanged.

"This little girl is always trying to steal the spotlight."

As a result, her little gesture did not satisfy the reporters, and one reporter complained:

"No, you're still blocking my way. Move back, turn your face away."

They adjusted it several times, and Yang Mi also made several adjustments.

But the reporters were still not satisfied.

One of the reporters couldn't help but say to the assistant director beside him:

"Director Sun, aren't you going to do anything about this? We're here to film Liu Yifei, how are we supposed to film this?"

Director Sun naturally saw all of this. He had already pulled Yang Mi along twice before, and now, seeing it was Yang Mi again, he was very annoyed and cursed under his breath.

"You ungrateful wretch!"

As he spoke, he strode forward and slapped Yang Mi across the head, shouting at the same time:

Didn't you hear me telling you to move back?

Do you think they're here to film you?

"Does she really think she's the main character?"
