After some discussion, the production team decided to change the historical setting and broadcast it directly as a web series.
After multiple rounds of negotiations, the production company and a video app reached an agreement on the release schedule.
However, since it was a last-minute addition, the time left for later was very limited.
The publicity was also very inadequate.
The crew had no choice but to film and do post-production simultaneously.
To maximize the promotional effect, the production team repeatedly posted behind-the-scenes footage from the filming set online.
"The Legend of Chang'an" is adapted from a wildly popular online novel from a few years ago.
What's most appealing about this female-centric romance novel is the love story that unfolds as the female lead grows up.
As the female lead is the main character, Wen Yan's portrayal of Chang'an is filled with romantic scenes.
In the early stages, she had a childhood sweetheart fiancé. After their relationship broke down, the male lead reappeared by her side and stayed by her side. In the middle stage, a villainous boss appeared. Throughout the story, there was also a bickering but good brother and even a eunuch who secretly protected her.
There are at least five of them that I can name and rank.
There is a chaotic scene among these male characters.
This chaotic scene is also one of the most famous scenes in the original work.
The production team was well aware of this, so they leaked this chaotic scene during the promotional period.
The four male characters in the original work are all handsome young men, and the actors found by the production team in real life are also very good-looking, each with their own kind of handsomeness.
The moment this clip was posted online, book fans went wild.
Because the original author was involved in the scriptwriting team, the scene was basically a one-to-one recreation of the chaotic battle, with all the famous lines and actions exactly as described in the original work, which has absolutely raised the expectations of book fans to a fever pitch.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the official broadcast of this drama.
This Reuters clip has once again thrust Wen Yan into the spotlight.
Because now she's one against five.
This novel was incredibly popular back then. If it weren't for policy restrictions, I heard the author intended to create a harem with multiple partners. Now that it's being adapted into a TV series, that's even more impossible.
But because the author once had that intention, the male characters were all portrayed very well, which resulted in each male character having many fans who ship them as a couple.
As soon as the "Shura Field" video was released, Wen Yan was immediately dubbed the "CP Queen," and even the five male characters in the drama were jokingly referred to as the "Five Beauties of Chang'an," with everyone discussing it extremely enthusiastically.
She even enthusiastically photoshopped name tags onto the five male characters and created various emojis, tagging Wenyan and asking her to choose a name tag.
