Although I was also quite upset, as a four-year fan of "Yu Ye," I have to say a few words. The female lead, Yin Lan, is based on Guo Xinya. The author, Jiao Dai Lao Zei, has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Guo Xinya on the platform. If a live-action version is really to be made, then it has to be said that only Guo Xinya herself would be suitable to play the female lead.

[Is Guo Xinya washed up? Look at that face, how dare you say that? Although she hasn't achieved much in recent years, she's still a former Best Actress winner, a representative of someone whose looks are enough to secure her position. You're saying she's washed up?]

[Originally, I did intend to give it a try, but the actors chosen for the main cast, putting aside their acting skills for now, are all incredibly good-looking. No wonder this is a project invested in by Director Zhuang; regardless of whether the film is actually well-made, this cast alone boasts a top-tier cast in the Chinese entertainment industry.]

Honestly, just for their good looks, even if the show is a complete mess, I'd still watch it. It's been a long time since I've seen such a refreshing and captivating cast.

That's true. After all, it's very difficult to recreate two-dimensional characters with three-dimensional people, but at least in terms of appearance, the casting this time didn't make me feel so out of place.

Looking at the stills, I'm somewhat looking forward to it; I just hope it doesn't drastically change the story.

[The director is the original author himself, so it shouldn't be a drastic change.]

[Huh? The director is Jiao Dai? Yan Shaohan? Oh my god, I was wondering why I couldn't find any information about the director online, turns out it's that scoundrel Jiao Dai!]

[Haha, Jiao Dai has lost his real name; from now on, he'll have to use his real name online.]

[So what if the director is the original creator? It's not like the original creator's work turned out to be a mess.]

Just as everyone was discussing this news, a group of people directly targeted Xiao He.

To be precise, it's the fact that Xiao He is playing Yin Qi that is unacceptable.

[Holy crap, am I the only one who doesn't understand why Yin Qi chose Xiao He to play the role? My world has collapsed.]

I still don't understand why they cast Xiao He as Yin Qi. I really want to go to the rooftop right now.

[Who? Is it Xiao He, the one I'm thinking of? (A sharp, explosive sound is emitted)]

Yes, it's Xiao He, the one you're thinking of.

[I'm truly speechless. I was actually quite satisfied with the casting this time, but when I saw that Yin Qi was played by Xiao He, I completely fainted.]

[Help! People said Xiao He was a "resource-backed" actor before, and I didn't believe it, but this time I really suspect that Xiao He has the resources to be heavily promoted. How could they give him this role?]

What happened? Why can't Xiao He play this role?

Although Yin Qi's personality does change somewhat later on... (no spoilers), I really can't imagine Xiao He playing the earlier version of Yin Qi.

[I can't accept it either. What was Jiao Dai thinking? Why did he have to cast Xiao He to play my Yin Qi? I envisioned a very young actor playing the role.]

[However, Xiao He just graduated from university last year... I don't quite understand how "young" the person upstairs is referring to.]

[The main reason is that Xiao He's aura is too strong. Two of his more memorable roles are Shen Jue and Meng Zetian—Shen Jue exudes murderous intent from his very first appearance, and Meng Zetian holds his own against veteran actors. When I watched these scenes, I really didn't see him as a young man who had just graduated.]

Anyway, no matter what, he's really not good enough. Please, production team, replace him!

Since the production team doesn't seem to have much to criticize at the moment, no one can say anything. The fans of the original work can only curse while secretly praying in some corner of their hearts that the "Yu Ye" production team will be human and just make the film, and please don't do the kind of drastic changes.

But now a person has appeared, and that person is Xiao He.

The drama "Shining Stars" had just finished airing, and its popularity was still going strong. Many people still remembered Xiao He, and most of them still remembered him as Meng Zetian. Now that Xiao He is playing a role that doesn't quite fit his image, the focus of public opinion has instantly shifted to him.

[Please, production team, replace her!]

[I refuse to let Xiao He play Yin Qi!]
