Chapter 016

2874: "Oh wow."

2874: "I'm flirting with you! This is blatant flirting!"

2874: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you guys have developed so fast?"

Xu Jingning: "Shut up."

Xu Jingning did not delve into the meaning of Yan Xun's words, but just answered vaguely: "Ah, if Teacher Yan asks me now, I can't answer. Like I just said, the program has just started, and I haven't had enough contact with other students. It seems too casual to decide the result now."

"Besides, this question is indeed difficult to decide. After all, I get along well with everyone, and it seems that there are many people who are willing to make close friends with me."

Yan Xun raised his eyebrows and made a joke: "Aren't the conditions very harsh? I thought I could have a slight advantage over you."

"After all, I have a lot of freedom in my personal job choices. If you need it, I can help you make connections."

Xu Jingning immediately responded: "If possible, I would be happy to maintain a relationship with Teacher Yan. After all, I can learn a lot from you, not to mention that I owe you a favor."

"I would have almost forgotten it if you hadn't told me." Yan Xun chuckled and said, "I have now thought of a way for you to repay the favor. Do you want to hear it?"

"Um?"

"Change your name." Yan Xun gave an unexpected answer, "Too many people call me Teacher Yan, but I don't think I am worthy of this title. At least, in private, can you change your way of addressing me?"

At first, calling Yan Xun "teacher" was just a respectful title used by people in the industry. What really led netizens to call him "teacher" was a few years ago when Yan Xun and Fang Shu collaborated on a niche movie about poverty alleviation teachers. At that time, some of the content in the movie was sensitive and could not be released in China. However, the movie created a high reputation overseas and won all major awards, so it also received a great response in China. Later, after repeated reviews, the movie was finally released in China and broke the box office record in just one day.

In various promotional interview videos at that time, all members of the crew teased Yan Xun by calling him "Teacher Yan". Although he was only in his twenties at the time, as time went by, this joke had become deeply rooted in people's minds, and gradually no one thought about whether it was appropriate or not.

Even now, a large number of people subconsciously think that Yan Xun is very old.

Time will wash away many memories, but it will also precipitate many habits.

Habits that have been ingrained for too long are difficult to change.

Xu Jingning was also one of those who was influenced. Regardless of the fact that in his eyes, Yan Xun did guide him a lot on his acting career, and with the identity of mentor and student, it was more appropriate to call him teacher. Therefore, he did not expect Yan Xun to make such a request.

This is more like a way to let him return the favor.

Yan Xun was too nice to him.

Before 2874 could even start chattering, Xu Jingning spoke first: "This is not right, everyone help me find out what's going on with Yan Xun!"

2874: "Ah? I think he's just teasing you."

Xu Jingning pursed his lips, and 2874 immediately began to seal his mouth, and he also took advantage of this action to smile: "Is it so easy to repay a favor? I am so lucky, Yan Xun... Senior, you always suffer losses when you do good things like this."

"If you're not used to it for the moment, you can slowly change it. First, replace the honorific 'you'." Seeing Xu Jingning's slightly reluctant look, Yan Xun softened his tone by three points, "Don't be distant with me, okay?"

"As for being at a disadvantage, I don't think so," Yan Xun chuckled, the faint tail tone lingering in his ears, slightly bewitching, "I've said before that I value talent, and when I meet a junior who I think is talented, I will do my best to help him."

Xu Jingning complained in his mind: "This isn't a helping hand, this is just carrying him on your back and running away."

2874 asked cautiously, "Do we need to investigate further? I can find some things that happened to him not long ago, but it will take some time."

Xu Jingning said, "Hmm," and said, "Then tell me after today's live broadcast."

The two did not stay for too long. The topic seemed to be just mentioned casually and ended casually. When they entered the conference room, everything was ready and they could continue recording.

In this session, the script director will give a general introduction to the plot, followed by students and mentors talking about their experiences with their roles.

The story of Yan Xun is set in a period when the turmoil had just ended and a new dynasty had just been established. Yan Xun plays the role of a disciple of a major iron forging sect in the previous dynasty. At that time, the country was in turmoil and the people were living in poverty. However, the iron forging households who mainly made tools were forced to make weapons for the court's army. At that time, the sect leader was unwilling to support the war and would rather die than obey the court's orders.

As a result, the clan was massacred. Only the youngest disciple escaped to the mountains with the sect's secret manual and managed to survive.

During the more than ten years of recuperation, he also accepted three disciples, taught them iron forging and sword making, and taught them self-defense martial arts. After more than ten years, not only this defeated but slightly revitalized sect was stabilized, but also the newly established court. Because the skills of this sect were extremely exquisite, the new emperor sent people to search for it many times, and finally found the new leader who lived in seclusion, but he refused to come out of seclusion on the grounds that he had sworn to his master that he would not be used by the court. Therefore, the people sent to search for him set their sights on the three disciples.

"For the three disciples, they have lived and grown up in this mountain forest since they were young. Although life in this paradise is very comfortable, young people are always curious about the unknown outside world. However, young people have different personalities, and the three disciples have different opinions on whether to leave."

Chen Shibin stopped talking, and then Chu Xinrou picked up the microphone with a smile: "The character I play is an orphan that Master picked up while escaping. She is also the eldest sister of this sect, but she is also the one with the most eccentric personality among the three fellow disciples. At that time, Master didn't think of having other disciples, so he spoiled her a little. She is also the only disciple that Master has brought down the mountain. After seeing the scene down the mountain, she fully supports going out and bringing glory to the sect."

Afterwards, Chen Zi spoke up: "I play the second apprentice brother in the sect. Before entering the sect, he was a child of a hunter family. Because of poverty, he was sold by his biological parents. On the way, he took his infant brother to escape. He accidentally ran into this mountain and was rescued by the master. Because he was used to a hard life since he was a child and saw too many sinister people, he was very disgusted to leave here."

The host naturally passed the topic to Xu Jingning: "So what about the junior brother?"

"Junior brother, just like my sister, he has lived in this forest since he can remember. He is the youngest and the most handsome, so he was loved and pampered by others when he grew up."

When he mentioned this, Chen Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Hmm? Is there something that only they understand? ]

[Can I tell you this? My friend's friend helped them with the costume and makeup team. I heard that the original script for the role played by Xu Jingning was for a girl, but it was later changed to a boy.]

[Hahahahahahahaha, so that's what happened. Why don't he just do the opposite role like Xiang Yuan! ]

The junior brother usually follows his senior sisters and brothers in everything and rarely expresses his own ideas. When this dispute happened, he was still too young to have any idea, so he did not directly participate, but continued to do his daily practice as usual. "

The age set in the script is no more than sixteen years old. According to the original script, girls are more sensitive and careful. Director Chen originally wrote such a wise but foolish character, but it was changed to a boy who grew up in a stable environment and has not yet reached the stage where he can understand the truth by himself. This makes him seem more pure and more in line with the profound meaning that the script wants to express.

The host then asked, "What happened next? From the length of the script, we can see that the junior brother and the master should be the protagonists. When those people found the junior brother privately, what was his attitude?"

"Junior brother." Xu Jingning smiled, "He said directly, I don't understand what you are saying, go find the master."

Feeling Xu Jingning's gaze, Yan Xun nodded and continued: "After all, in the eyes of my little disciple, other people may be right or wrong, but the master is always the one who can solve the problem, and he will never make mistakes."

In order to keep some surprises, the subsequent story was not told in detail. It was only from the efforts of the four actors that we could dig out some information that they did make an appearance in the end, but there was no direct answer, so it can only be guessed by netizens.

So this session ended with everyone reluctant to leave.

【Ahhhhhhh, I really like this story. I have read countless ancient novels and TV dramas, but I have never seen this kind of setting. It's like a whole family arguing about what to eat in the evening. There are quarrels but no hurt feelings. This sect is too harmonious. Everyone has distinct personality traits. I am really looking forward to the performance! 】

[Sister, what you said is so accurate! Let me add one more sentence for you, it also involves the feelings of family and country! ]

[Wow, wow, wow, wow, how come this kind of family-style coming-of-age story is so attractive! ]

[Am I the only one interested in this cast iron? It's really novel! ]

Not only did today's recording have enough material, but the live broadcast room also caused a wave of popularity, and it was naturally ranked at the front of the Weibo entries. Compared with the previous interviews that had some controversial points, Yan Xun's group was surprisingly harmonious, and it also attracted the attention of many netizens.

One of the hot words on Weibo was Xu Jingning's analysis of the phrase "long-term relationship". Although most of the comments when clicking on the entry were mocking Xu Jingning for changing the subject, netizens discovered that there was an additional Weibo post that was a bit different in the entry.

@娱乐大八卦v: Did Xu Jingning mean to imply Fu Shulan? One strictly defines a long-term relationship, and the other claims to be very good at building long-term relationships with others. In the previous episode, they said they took care of each other. Could it be that the relationship between the seniors and juniors is extremely bad?
