The Legend of Sword and Fairy has sparked heated discussions across the internet with its undisputed reputation.

The special effects show the budget burning.

A storyline where the entire cast delivers solid performances.

The soundtrack breathes life into the story.

There was also discussion about the subsequent plot.

In short, all the attention that night went to this critically acclaimed fantasy drama series.

Director Zhang Qingsheng kept a close eye on the viewership numbers and was overjoyed to discover that 60% of the viewers had watched the show two or even three times.

The entire crew was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Shen Jun even brought He Zhongting to visit Xiazhou again.

To be honest, He Zhongting, dressed in modern clothes, does give people a handsome and extraordinary feeling.

Unfortunately, ever since he entered the room, this guy has been staring at Zhou Rongze's wine cabinet with a look of utter fascination, which detracts from his dashing image.

Midnight.

Perhaps it was because it was confirmed that Fusheng and Zhao Wenyao had both given up on competing for the February celebrity list, that as soon as the list changed, celebrities from all states began to compete fiercely, fighting to the death for the top spot.

However, the quality of the songs is slightly lower compared to those in January.

Other rankings are also in full swing.

Shen Yun, with an overwhelming momentum, firmly occupies the first and second places on the list of top female celebrities.

The fact that Shen Yun achieved such a stunning result, which left the queens of the various states speechless, does not mean that Shen Yun's influence has surpassed that of the queens of the various states. Rather, it means that Fu Sheng's fans simply had no outlet for their emotions, or rather, they had no choice but to give their first blood in February to Shen Yun.

Of course, on the three-tier charts, "Lovers Not Yet" also started strong and continued to rise, directly reaching the top!

This amazing result surprised and delighted the three girls.

Only now did they truly realize just how terrifying Fusheng's influence really was!

In Lin Rui's view, it is not surprising that "Red Bean", "Longing", and "Not Yet Lovers" have achieved such success.

The decision to premiere "Chinese Paladin" at the end of the month is clearly intended to capitalize on the popularity of Tianrui Entertainment.

In particular, Xiazhou Voice allocated promotional resources to these three songs.

Because he had already anticipated the outcome, Lin Rui didn't care much about the rankings this month; he had already gone to bed to rest.

Because next, he will be reporting to the Xiazhou Arts Association to participate in a ten-day closed rehearsal with other artists who have been invited to perform at the Spring Festival Gala.

The next morning, Lin Rui dragged his suitcase out the door, where Chen Bin was already waiting outside the villa.

After getting into the car, Chen Bin drove out of Guanhu Villa and said, "These past two days, I've discussed the preparations for 'The Legend of 1900' with President Zhou."

"Didn't we agree to discuss this after the New Year?"

Lin Rui looked out the window, his expression calm.

"When you have nothing to do, plan ahead."

"Judging from the script, the entire film should not take too long to shoot."

"The teacher has already prepared two old-style cruise ships."

silver fox?

Lin Rui withdrew his gaze, frowning slightly: "Two ships?"

"Yes, one is for filming. The other is for wrapping up."

Lin Rui: ...

If I remember correctly, according to the plot, the ship blew up in the end.

Good heavens!

Everyone else uses special effects, and you're making it actually explosive?!

Most importantly, based on the historical context, those two ships should be products of the Renaissance period. In today's terms, they would be considered antiques to some extent. You just want to blow them up?!

"The biggest problem right now is casting."

Chen Bin's expression was slightly serious.

Having read the script, it is especially clear that Lin Rui not only personally participated in this film, but also prepared more than twenty piano pieces. His intention is self-evident: to become famous!

If the situation was not clear before, with Lin Rui's appearance, his influence has already qualified him to be promoted to a celebrity.

Lin Rui is now just one stepping stone away from getting started.

And "The Legend of 1900" was undoubtedly the brick that opened up the overseas market!

"What suggestions do you have regarding casting?" Lin Rui asked casually.

"Since this is a work aimed at both domestic and international audiences, I think we should abandon some traditional ideas."

"For example, in terms of extras, we can extend to countries outside the region."

"The filming location was chosen in Taizhou, which not only has the largest port, but also has all kinds of foreign merchants."

Chen Bin pondered for a moment and said, "I have prepared three plans, I will send them to you later."

"Can."

With a highly intelligent assistant like Chen Bin, Lin Rui felt that things were much easier.

“Mr. Lin, I am confident in all other aspects, but there is one thing that requires your personal attention.”

"Which point?"

Lin Rui looked at Chen Bin.

"The script mentions a scene of a piano duel."

"This wouldn't be a big deal for other people."

"Mr. Ke Lin is a piano master, and he is appearing in the main role. In order to avoid criticism, it would be best to invite a piano master to make a cameo appearance in the scenes with him."

Chen Bin stopped there and didn't continue.

However, this statement has made it quite clear that if the show doesn't want this scene, which should have been a highlight, to become a mere afterthought or even a stain on its rating, then the casting needs to be carefully considered.

Invite a piano master to make a cameo appearance?

And the role he played was not only a villain, but a villain who was destined to be humiliated.

You really dare to dream!

However, Chen Bin wasn't wrong. If someone else played the lead role, any actor who could play the piano would suffice for this minor villain role.

But Lin Rui is different. As a piano master, his opponents cannot be nobodies.

Even making a movie is not allowed!

This is a work intended for overseas audiences, a stepping stone to fame. Domestic pianists will naturally not nitpick, but the opinions of overseas pianists are hard to predict.

Since Chen Bin emphasized this issue, it means that Li Donglai, Situ Changqing, Changsun Jinghong, and others are also powerless to address this problem.

Otherwise, given their personalities, they would probably have already taken over and cleared the obstacles for Lin Rui, so how could they possibly pass the buck back to him?

"I'll figure something out after the Spring Festival Gala ends."

Christie flashed through Lin Rui's mind.

If all else fails, you can ask this piano queen for advice.

Frankly speaking, although the piano world has long recognized his status as a piano master, Lin Rui has not made many friends in this industry.

This gives us an idea of ​​just how outrageous the cultural blockade imposed on Chinese artists by foreign powers was!

Despite being called a training center, it's really just a hotel under the Xiazhou Arts Association.

The environment is quite nice, and the decor is more in line with the style of artists.

The hotel is currently completely closed, and only invited guests are allowed to enter.

As soon as Lin Rui entered, he felt more than a dozen pairs of scrutinizing eyes.

Lin Rui pretended not to know and dragged his suitcase to the front desk.

As the face of Xiazhou, Lin Rui was immediately recognized by the lobby manager in charge of reception. The manager rubbed his hands together and walked forward with a smile.

"Hello, Teacher Fusheng. I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Please give me your luggage and I'll help you with it. Your room is also ready."

Lin Rui didn't stand on ceremony, said thank you, and handed the suitcase to the lobby manager.

Just as I was about to follow them into the elevator, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Fusheng, would you like to chat?"

Lin Rui turned around curiously.

The first thing you see is a middle-aged man with a lazy and unkempt appearance.

"My name is Zhao Wenyao."
