HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

As He Ling finished speaking, Xu Lang led the three male leads and the Seven Fairies onto the stage.

The camera panned across each of the seven fairies.

The audience in front of the screen immediately went wild!

"Holy crap, this is like seven fairies descending to earth!"

Liu Yifei, Qin Feifei, Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Liu Yan, Liu Tao, and Park Si-yeon each have their own unique characteristics, vying for attention and making the entire stage bright and beautiful.

"Look, now this is what a teen idol drama should be like!"

"This level of attractiveness is absolutely stunning!"

"Even if 'Struggle' is a complete mess, I'll still watch every single episode just for the sake of 'Seven Fairies'!"

. . . . .

In the subsequent interviews, He Ling focused on interviewing Xu Lang and Liu Yifei.

"Producer Xu, I'd like to ask, why did you decide to make a film that focuses on the post-80s generation?"

He Ling immediately addressed current social issues by raising questions.

Xu Lang cleared his throat and said with a very serious expression:

"The post-80s generation has begun to step onto the social stage and will soon become the main force of this society. They need to be seen by more people."

Because they are not a lost generation.

Rather, they are a generation that strives forward amidst these turbulent currents.

That's why I named this drama "Struggle".

Xu Lang steered the conversation back to the "post-80s generation," which immediately resonated with the post-80s audience, garnering them immense favor and recognition.

He Ling nodded, then looked at Liu Yifei.

"I have to ask Xixi about this. It is said that when filming 'Struggle', the production was suspended for more than a month due to funding issues, and the show was once criticized as a 'bad ending'."

Sisi, tell me, what was the scene like? Did you waver at that moment?

Even knowing it was all pre-arranged, Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at Xu Lang before saying:

"The issue of funding is purely a rumor. I think anyone who knows Xu Lang knows that he is not short of money."

Don't forget, he's the founder of Weibo. Weibo's market value is now over a billion dollars. Do you think he'd be short of money for a TV series worth tens of millions?

Liu Yifei's words were the first time she publicly revealed Xu Lang's identity.

Suddenly, Xu Lang's identity resurfaced online, causing a huge uproar among television viewers:

"Holy crap, who is this Xu Lang?"

"A creator who is both talented and accomplished, the composer of classic songs such as 'Sour and Sweet Is Me,' a genius photographer, the founder of Weibo, and a billionaire before the age of twenty?"

"Is Xu Lang a chosen one of our time?"

"Xu Lang, I want to have your babies!"

. . . . .

During the program, He Ling, even though he knew Xu Lang's identity, couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing Liu Yifei's words.

"No wonder Wang Tai had to personally protect him; Xu Lang is truly someone you can't afford to offend!"

However, the show must continue.

He Ling asked again:

"If it wasn't a funding issue, why was the production line shut down for over a month?"

"To tell the story, it all started with photography."

With a hint of reminiscence, Liu Yifei slowly said:

"Everyone knows that Xu Lang has the title of 'genius photographer,' but I can say with certainty that this title of genius goes far beyond photography."

For example, videography is inherently similar to photography. After taking photography, Xu Lang turned his attention to videography.

During the more than forty days of downtime, he repeatedly studied camera techniques.

At this point, Liu Yifei stated with absolute certainty:

"I don't consider myself someone who likes to make definitive statements, but today, here, I can confidently say that the cinematography and film quality of 'Struggle' will bring all viewers a brand new and more sophisticated experience and enjoyment."

Wow~~~!

Liu Yifei's words immediately surprised everyone.

"What kind of photography skills do you need to make Liu Yifei so confident that she would say something like that?"

"The TV series 'Struggle' will officially premiere tomorrow, and soon all viewers will be able to enjoy it."

After He Ling finished speaking, she looked at Xu Lang and asked:

"Director Xu, I heard that you gave Liu Yifei a big challenge in this drama, asking her to abandon her celestial image and identity to play a girl who has been hurt by love."

Aren't you afraid of being criticized by millions of fans for doing this?

Regarding Liu Yifei's career transition, this is also a key point that Xu Lang is emphasizing in this promotional campaign.

"I'm scared, of course I'm scared!"

As Xu Lang spoke, he even made a backward stepping motion.

But then he added:

"But I'm more afraid that Liu Yifei will be locked in by the title 'Fairy Sister'."

What I want to tell everyone is that Liu Yifei's acting skills are very versatile, and "Fairy" is just one example.

Next, he has an even more stunning image to share with everyone.

As he spoke, he pointed to the big screen, where a picture of Liu Yifei in "Painted Skin" appeared.

The fox spirit Xiao Wei is stunningly beautiful, but the smile at the corner of her mouth and the coldness, the innocence and cruelty in her eyes, make Liu Yifei's image extremely... eerie.

"Hiss~~~!"

"Ahhhh!"

"this..."

Everyone who saw Liu Yifei's appearance was startled.

"This is so revolutionary!"

Even He Ling couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart after seeing it.

He had watched it countless times, but each time he did, he would still get a jolt.

"This is a concept photo of Liu Yifei in the movie 'Painted Skin,' so stay tuned."

As soon as this scene appeared, netizens online erupted in heated debate:

"Is this still the celestial beauty I remember?"

"That's definitely a fairy!"

"Even though she's a demon, don't you think the wildness and innocence in her eyes are really striking?"

"I like it. If I met a seductress like Liu Yifei, I'd be willing to drain her dry!"

"Xu Lang is right, Liu Yifei's versatility is amazing, this demon is so captivating!"

Meanwhile, Pang Hong, Li Hongtao, and Chen Jiashang, who were far away in Ningxia, became excited the moment they saw the program.

"Haha, choosing Xu Lang was definitely the right decision!"

"Yes, tonight, the buzz surrounding our movie is equivalent to tens of millions of dollars in advertising."

"It was worth it!"

During the program, after addressing this question, He Ling asked another:

"The song 'Left Side' sung by Sisi at the beginning was really touching. Was it also your original composition?"

"yes!"

Xu Lang nodded, then said:

"Sissi has signed with Sony and is now preparing her first album. Today, she also brought another song from the album."

Then, the music of "A Little Happiness" began, and Liu Yifei gracefully walked to the center of the stage and sang the song again.

Her sweet voice instantly captivated the hearts of all the viewers.

As Liu Yifei sang, she also recalled the singing competition she had with Xu Lang at the secret base.

"A little bit of luck?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at Xu Lang, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection:

Meeting you is my greatest fortune!
