Director Wei choked for a moment, then said helplessly, "Three's fine, three's fine!"
And so this part of the story was filmed in a rather haphazard way.
Everyone ate lunch and rested at noon.
The group sat on small stools, eating boxed lunches with very little meat.
They started chatting again.
As they were chatting, a staff member suddenly jogged towards Director Wei.
The staff member excitedly said, "Director Wei, when you're filming this afternoon, please make sure to capture as many behind-the-scenes clips as possible. The response from netizens has been tremendous; everyone wants our crew to release more videos."
Director Wei was taken aback. "What kind of behind-the-scenes footage are we releasing?"
The assistant director next to him quickly realized, "I just had them upload the clip of Xu Yanyu dancing with her sword."
The assistant director then looked at the staff member, "What's wrong? What are netizens saying?"
His words piqued Director Wei's interest.
The staff member said directly, "Everyone's evaluation is extremely high. They all say that 'The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers' is definitely the highest quality TV series in recent years."
"They said H TV finally did something worthwhile, instead of using those cheaply made, money-grabbing dramas to fool people."
Director Wei's eyes darted away for a moment.
He was also one of the directors who made bad movies before.
Some of the TV dramas he filmed were not invested in by the TV station.
If a TV series isn't invested in by the station, then you have to listen to the investors.
So he also has to take some blame for making bad movies and making easy money.
Director Wei casually pulled out his phone and logged into the official Weibo account to check netizens' comments.
Xu Yanyu took a bite of rice and blinked as she watched them chat.
There was also a Duan Nianzhuang squatting next to her.
“I’ve been watching Langbo the whole time, and people online are all praising you.”
Duan Nianzhuang suddenly said.
"Huh?" Xu Yanyu looked at Duan Nianzhuang in confusion.
Duan Nianzhuang said happily, "Netizens say that just because you can wield that sword so well, the director of this TV series must have put in a lot of hard work."
It must be a big-budget production with an investment of hundreds of millions; otherwise, they wouldn't have such high standards for even a supporting character's fight choreography.
"That's not bad." Xu Yanyu felt that although Director Wei's TV series was not a big production, it was still well done.
Duan Nianzhuang continued, "Some netizens even created a ranking list, and Yongli ranked second among the most anticipated characters."
"Huh? Who's number one?" Xu Yanyu asked curiously.
"It used to be Sister Ying, but after you posted your sword dance video, you became number one."
After Duan Nianzhuang finished speaking, he took another bite of rice.
Hearing his words, Zhang Ying glanced up at Xu Yanyu, but calmly continued eating.
"That's just netizens playing around when they're bored," Xu Yanyu glanced at Zhang Ying and quickly replied.
She was horrified to see Zhang Ying's dirty eyes.
Duan Nianzhuang said, "Do you know why I got first place? Because in the behind-the-scenes footage edited by the crew, there's a video of me. It's the one where I asked you how to practice my facial expressions."
Duan Nianzhuang thought about how netizens kept praising him on Weibo for being handsome and having great acting skills!
He couldn't contain his excitement.
All of this was inspired by Yan Yu.
He is confident that after the show becomes a hit, he will have more resources in the industry.
However, through the Xu Yanyu incident, he also realized that acting skills are the foundation for an actor's career.
Therefore, when choosing roles in the future, he wants to select scripts that can hone his acting skills.
He doesn't care whether it's a leading role or a supporting role; he's willing to try anything that helps his acting.
Director Wei suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Good, good, that's how you should praise someone."
Everyone who was still eating was taken aback and looked at Director Wei in surprise.
Director Wei was overjoyed as he stared at the comments on Weibo.
When will it air? After seeing Xu Yanyu's swordplay, I'm really looking forward to this drama. A high-quality production!
This drama has the potential to become a classic! Zhang Ying's acting is superb, and Chang Xuan's character is a perfect fit for the protagonist.
Even the supporting actor Duan Nianzhuang's acting was amazing. Of course, Xu Yanyu's participation is even more anticipated.
It seems that TVB is determined to make a good show.
Xu Yanyu is so beautiful! I heard from a rumor that she also provided the background music?
If that's the case, then I'll be glued to the TV just to listen to music.
[Please film more behind-the-scenes footage! The drama still hasn't been scheduled for release, so we're relying on your behind-the-scenes clips to keep us waiting.]
...
Director Wei was scrolling through his phone, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Seeing the soup about to spill, the assistant director next to him quickly reminded him, "The soup's going to spill. Finish your meal first!"
Director Wei put away his phone and straightened the lunchbox in his hand.
Thank goodness, nothing happened!
Then he said excitedly, "We must film it well and not let the audience down."
He then looked at Xu Yanyu, "Yanyu, go back and rest early after you finish filming tonight. You can go back to the hotel at four o'clock."
