Day 122

Fu Xunyan's hand injury had not healed yet. Fortunately, there was no need for him to move his wrist in the scene of "Yucheng". Bai Wenji was afraid that he would hurt his hand by supporting himself on the ground, so he helped him stand up. Both of them had blood splashed on their faces, so they smiled at each other.

"Tomorrow is the three public rankings."

Looking at the vast night and the brightly lit scene, Fu Xunyan murmured.

Bai Wenji raised his eyebrows: "Well, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Don't think I can get in?"

Fu Xunyan punched him.

"That's no joke."

It's quite boring.

Bai Wenji curled his lips. His second-place ranking happened to be ninth, and no matter what, his third-place ranking would not fall outside the top 20.

But I still felt a little uneasy. Ninth place was a ranking that could easily get me into the debut group, but it could also be a dead end. In previous years, ninth place would have been the group's goalkeeper, but this year, it really wasn't good enough.

Ahead of him is Yin Xingheng, who is ranked eighth.

Bai Wenji knew very well in his heart that the first to fifth positions were basically occupied now - Fu Xunyan, Ye Lai, Da Pei, Bo Mi and Min Hai.

Yin Xingheng was ranked eighth because he failed last time, otherwise this fixed circle should have six people, so there would only be one spot left.

In addition to him and Shen Chi, Jiang Han, Zhou Hengyu, Zhou Qi, and even Wu Ruike, who is showing a rising trend, are all popular competitors.

Although Bai Wenji is often very conceited, he has to admit that he has no advantage now.

He was a boring character, with no storyline in the show. He only gained some good reputation in the early stages because he and a few others unconditionally supported Fu Xunyan. Otherwise, he was like a wandering soul.

Everyone said that he was aloof and reserved, noble and self-respecting, had a good family background, was well-mannered and could play many musical instruments, and seemed to be able to do everything.

But they didn't like him because he looked unpopular.

Compared to the coquettish Yin Xingheng, the arrogant Ye Lai, and Da Pei who looks carefree but is actually so emotionally delicate that he would cry when watching romance movies, he is unremarkable.

Because he is too consistent.

Sometimes Bai Wenji felt that it was really boring. He had been an outstanding person since he was a child, but now he was struggling for a small debut position.

Fu Xunyan noticed his lack of interest.

"Your expression like that makes me feel like you're going to quit the competition."

"Maybe I really want it?"

"...Don't be ridiculous, Bai Wenji. Didn't we agree to win the Asian Grand Prix together when we chatted that night?"

Bai Wenji, who was still wearing Xie Fan's strategist uniform, kicked his legs to avoid the ants crawling by his feet.

"But thinking back, maybe I should have just followed my family's plan and joined the national team."

The female stage manager who suddenly passed by said: ???

What did I hear?

Fu Xunyan didn't expect that Bai Wenji seemed serious.

"What are you talking about? The competition was going well, and you came in ninth. Why are you suddenly regretting participating?"

"It's because I'm only ninth." Bai Wenji looked up, scoffing at himself, his pretty face bathed in moonlight. "Maybe I'm a little too narcissistic and can't accept this ranking?"

Fu Xunyan felt that something terrible was happening. He pursed his lips, and without taking off his cloak that was in the way, he simply picked up his robe and strode away.

"Hey, hey, hey, camera! There! Aim there! I want to use it for the opening credits!"

The cameraman also reacted quickly. He rushed over and swung the jib, and the figure quickly appeared on the big screen.

Everyone in the venue had left, leaving only a few torches burning alone in the yellow-brown arena. Xiao Xuan, looking disheveled but with surprisingly bright eyes, ran forward wantonly, the light reflected on his face covered in dirt and blood.

Not only is he not sloppy, but he has a kind of unbridled vitality, which is a freedom that the original Xiao Yan could not have.

He rushed forward, fearlessly and without hesitation, until he left the screen. The last scene was his gilded robe fluttering in the wind in the dark night.

The photographer and director were in tears.

The girls watching the show at the scene also had tears in their eyes - they saw with their own eyes that Fu Xunyan ran very fast, and then Da Pei and Ye Lai, who were just talking, opened their hands at the same time, as if to catch the fluttering night butterfly.

Getting closer!

Bet! Will Dal-bae catch it or will Ye-lai get there first?

Okay, Fu Xunyan braked in time.

Ugh...

The girls sighed in disappointment.

But the next second she started covering her face in anticipation.

Because Fu Xunyan grabbed Da Pei's forearm and said, "Bai Wenji wants to withdraw from the competition, go and wake him up."

"What? Withdraw from the competition?" Da Pei exploded.

Bai Wenji walked over helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm not really going to withdraw from the competition, I just..."

"Just what?" Ye Lai looked disgusted and hypocritical.

Bai Wenji; ...

"I can't make sense to you."

The next second, someone grabbed his neck. Da Pei's body temperature was so hot that it almost dried him out. Bai Wenji usually hated him getting close to him, so he immediately struggled to run away. Unfortunately, Da Pei held him so tightly that he was almost suffocated.

"Let go! Da Pei, let go!"

The ancient nobleman in white robe lost his elegant image and looked like a flapping fish.

The boys laughed and played, completely unaware that Wen Lizhi's gaze in the distance was becoming increasingly passionate.

"No, Director Wen, your eyes tell me that your thoughts are very wrong - we are missing one person, not four!"

"It's four!" Wen Lizhi shook off his second brother's hand and rushed straight towards Fu Xunyan and the others without paying attention to his painful face.

Li Pengcheng had no choice but to follow.

"Fu Xunyan, huh? Are you interested in filming?"

"Anyway, this one has been filmed. My movie is not an idol movie." Wen Lizhi said with a little arrogance.

But that's as it should be - Wen Lizhi is the first director in the past fifty years to win all the major domestic film awards at the age of thirty. He is extremely talented and a world-renowned genius.

It took repeated invitations and a wonderful script for Wen Lizhi to come back to film this drama. Otherwise, the director would still be wandering in some unknown corner of the world collecting materials.

Fu Xunyan and Da Pei stopped fighting. The cloak was a bit heavy and he almost tripped and fell. Thanks to Ye Lai's help, he straightened himself up. The two looked at each other and smiled.

"This is the picture I want." Wen Lizhi abruptly interrupted the warm scene.

"My play is still missing a scene where the hero plays in the countryside with some young men from the same village when he was young."

,

"If it were you guys—I'd consider adding a few more scenes and making the hero's years in the countryside a semi-utopian one."

Several people were stunned by what he said.

Seeing that they were indifferent, Wen Lizhi thought that they didn't know him. Just as he was about to introduce them, he saw the most outstanding one, Fu Xunyan, who he had first chosen, stand up.

Like a drop of water melting into the night, his aura is mysterious and sharp, a stark contrast to the second brother's perspective and the protagonist's honest childhood playmates. But since Director Wen was so determined to invite him, he must have his reasons.

"I am very grateful for Director Wen's appreciation, but we also have our difficulties."

"You may not know this, but we are participating in a talent show and the finals will be scheduled in the next two weeks."

He glanced at Li Pengcheng again.

"I believe Brother Li has already told you that our agency contract after debut is a complicated matter. It may take a long time to negotiate between the various companies. So, although we are very willing to accept your invitation, I am afraid you cannot wait until everything here is settled."

Wen Lizhi glanced at him and felt a toothache.

He is so young, but his speech is unclear and sounds like a middle-aged man. It's such a waste of his smart appearance.

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me if it will work this year."

This year?

Several people looked at each other in surprise. They had heard Chen Qingsong say in casual conversation that the other party's filming was almost finished. Was he willing to wait another half a year for them?

Da Pei and the others didn't dare to answer, and Fu Xunyan considered it for a moment.

"Well, I think we will be able to give you a definite answer within this year."

"That's good." Wen Lizhi waved his hand impatiently, picked up his second brother and left.

"Just consider it your promise. Don't take it lightly, even though the role is small. In your free time, you can read good works like "Countryside Diary" and "My Revolutionary History" and feel the simple emotions of the male protagonist."

Wen Lizhi came and went in a hurry. When Director Zhang happily finished editing the scene of Fu Xunyan running in the dark, he heard from others that Wen Lizhi had also picked up Fu Xunyan.

An expert knows the ins and outs of things. After knowing which role Wen Lizhi had promised, Director Zhang looked at Fu Xunyan with an awkward expression, and patted him on the shoulder after a while.

"Good boy, you're going to be a big shot in the entertainment industry in the future. Don't forget me. I was the first one to invite you."

**

"Yucheng" has been broadcast for a long time.

This project is the highest priority idol drama on Yunduo TV. Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on the early publicity. It is definitely a big production. Otherwise, how could it be said that Chen Qingsong had drained all his money?

The reason Chen Qingsong was so anxious to find Fu Xunyan was because the show, for the sake of publicity, had reverted to the last century's model of filming and broadcasting from afar. However, this was extremely dangerous. There were two artists who were courting death. Not only were their acting skills poor, but they also ran away after being scolded by the director.

If Fu Xunyan and Bai Wenji had not come to the rescue, they would have had to let the important character Xiao Yan die in the mouths of others.

If this is really the development, it will probably cause a small amount of anger.

The reason why it is a small scope is because Xiao Yan is not a particularly important character.

He was cowardly and had no outstanding talents. Before Fu Xunyan came to play the role, he didn't even have a good-looking face.

But when Fu Xunyan came and read the script, it was as if he gave the character another life.

His tragedy does not come from cowardice. On the contrary, a certain "rebellion" in his personality that is out of tune with the times makes him very charming.

He's a little cold-hearted, but he's honest about it.

He has no ambitions, but no one is born to carry any burden.

He is very free, and if he were not bound by family ties and morality, he would be even freer.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! It's time, come and see!"

Xiao Li, who was chewing candy, jumped onto the sofa and almost knocked his girlfriend off her seat.

His girlfriend gave him a look and reached out to grab the popcorn.

The two of them stared at the screen in silence, their eyes truly shining.

It's simply because "Yu Cheng" is so good. Since it aired, the ratings have skyrocketed, and the discussion about the power struggles in it has remained high, almost surpassing the CP entry.

As a result, people are paying more and more attention to the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Huh? The opening credits changed?"

Xiao Li sat up a little and looked curiously at the back that first appeared in the opening credits in the 20th episode.

"Hasn't there been one before?" The girlfriend, who had ignored the opening and ending credits because she loved the male and female protagonists so much, looked confused.

"Yes." Xiao Li was certain, "Because I like the background music. I even went online to watch the opening credits separately. I don't remember this back figure being there."

The girlfriend glanced at the TV. In the vast night, a figure was running in slow motion on the yellow-brown square. The cold moonlight followed behind him, almost unable to catch the corner of his black robe.
