Within two hours, a deluge of press releases flooded all major platforms. The official announcement from the official Weibo account of "Qingyun Legend" garnered over 100,000 reposts within an hour!
Wang Miyun is a leading actress of the post-80s generation, an undisputed A-list star with a very high level of fan loyalty. She has already won numerous film awards, and her foray into television drama has garnered even more attention.
Similarly, Wang Miyun's popularity among the general public is unparalleled. In China, if you can afford a television, it's impossible not to know Wang Miyun.
Liao Li, the Best Actor winner, is roughly on par with Wang Miyun in terms of star power. Of course, this doesn't mean he's won countless awards or has a massive fanbase like Wang Miyun. He's only won the Best Actor award once. However, it's well-known that male celebrities often have higher commercial value than female celebrities. In the battle for billing order in "The Legend of Qingyun," Liao Li's team and Wang Miyun's team engaged in numerous behind-the-scenes maneuvers, with Liao Li ultimately losing.
However, the loudest voices in the reposts and comments weren't from the two individuals' fans. Instead, it was...
Qi Qi's heart is filled with the image of a swallow: a graceful young man, every smile and frown captivating; a passionate young man, a single glance leading to a lifetime of regret. Whose young man on the road is so dashing? Behold Qi Yan (@Aegis-齐彦)'s heartfelt portrayal of the noble Zhu Zhao in "The Legend of Qingyun"!
Xuanxuan's Little Raindrops: Congratulations to Lu Yuxuan @LuYuxuan for successfully terminating her contract and starting anew! Looking forward to Lu Yuxuan's portrayal of Yun Muyi in "The Legend of Qingyun"!
Yan Yan is so affectionate: Looking forward to Qi Yan~ @Aegis-QiYan
Has Chongshan Media gone bankrupt today? A beautiful woman from the North, peerless and independent. Her beauty could topple kingdoms and cities; her name is Yun Muyi! Looking forward to Lu Yuxuan's brilliant performance!
Qi Yan's wife: Congratulations to Qi Yan @Aegis-Qi Yan on the perfect ending of "The Mystery of Aegis" with a viewership rating of over 1! Looking forward to meeting Zhu Zhao from "The Legend of Qingyun" soon!
Flying Dance Studio hangs itself on the mountain: Looking forward to baby Xuanxuan~ Kisses~
Qi Yan is one of the most popular male celebrities in the entertainment industry today. He debuted as a member of a boy band, and his fans are all female fans who have spent real money on him. However, being an idol is a short-lived career, and Qi Yan has been considering a career change in the past two years. Just then, the production team of "Qing Yun Zhuan" extended an offer to him, which he gladly accepted.
Lu Yuxuan's situation was similar to Qi Yan's. A former member of a girl group, she (according to fans) suffered suppression and bullying within the group, and was maliciously sidelined by Chongshan Entertainment. The incompetent studio did nothing, allowing Lu Yuxuan to endure such bullying. Ultimately, through the efforts of her fans, Lu Yuxuan finally went solo, terminating her contracts with her exploitative teammates, team, and agency. "Qingyun Biography" was her first project after leaving the group.
For many years, Xu Hanwen's serious dramas and palace dramas have primarily targeted middle-aged and elderly viewers. However, with such a large investment, the producers of "The Legend of Qingyun" certainly couldn't be content with just appealing to the remote controls of middle-aged and elderly audiences. The addition of Qi Yan and Lu Yuxuan is precisely the producers' way of appealing to younger viewers.
Judging from the fanfare surrounding the official announcement of filming's commencement, the production company made the right decision. Prior to this, no drama's official announcement Weibo post had ever garnered over 100,000 reposts within an hour.
The news of the start of filming for "The Legend of Qingyun" quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list on Weibo. It seemed that everyone was talking about "The Legend of Qingyun".
Shang Yechu was also reading about "The Legend of Qingyun." Of course, she wasn't just watching for entertainment; she was looking to see who the screenwriter was.
Sure enough, after the first Weibo post officially announced the main cast, the official Weibo account tagged all the screenwriters in its second post. Shang Yechu frowned as she looked at the long list of names.
Shang Yechu memorized these names and searched online for clues.
Most of these screenwriters are experts in a particular field, such as the study of the history of the Wei Dynasty, the history of the Ping Dynasty, or specialists in the study of a particular concubine or emperor. Some are also novelists, as well as screenwriters for some lukewarm television dramas.
Finally, a screenwriter named Gong Sizhe caught Shang Yechu's attention. This screenwriter's resume was pitifully thin, consisting of only one web series and two short films. He was also very young, only twenty-three years old. With his qualifications, it sounded as absurd for Shang Yechu to be the screenwriter of "Qingyun Biography" as if she were playing the lead role in an American blockbuster.
Information about Gong Sizhe is scarce online. There is only one photo and a few lines of text. In the photo, a thin, frail young man wears bottle-cap glasses and doesn't seem particularly remarkable.
It's no secret that screenwriters have a low social status in China's film and television industry. Compared to the lavish celebrations and fanfare surrounding the announcements of directors and lead actors, the announcement of the screenwriters on Weibo was met with a lukewarm reception. The comments and reposts were filled with praise for the production team's selection of so many experts as screenwriters, calling them the conscience of the industry. No one paid any attention to the specific screenwriters involved.
Shang Yechu tried searching for the works written by Gong Sizhe. The web series was called *The Secret History of the Xiao Palace*, a flop with only a few hundred thousand views. The poster style looked like a rip-off of *The Secret History of the East Tower*. The two short films, however, were quite interesting. One was called *Father and Son*, and the other *Oedipus's Wrath*…
"Ye Zi!" Li Kui's voice came from behind. "Come quick! Everything's set up!"
Shang Yechu put away her phone and called out loudly, "Here I am!"
