Shang Yechu's theory was truly shocking. If he had said it when he became famous and successful, he would probably have been immediately labeled as unprofessional.
Fortunately, only 103 heard these words. 103 did not show any extra emotional fluctuation, but simply expressed his agreement in his indifferent way: "It sounds like there is no problem."
"Of course, no problem." Shang Yechu walked into the milk tea shop, ordered a full-sugar milk tea, and also ordered a dessert from the shop.
"You just said that the dance teacher's opinion might influence the director's view? You're wrong." Shang Yechu sat on a chair in the milk tea shop, using the shop's WiFi to continue searching for dance classes.
"I never considered the dance teacher's opinion. My goal from beginning to end has only been the director."
"There were three people sitting at the audition, but you only considered the director's opinion." 103 said calmly.
"NONONO." Shang Yechu shook her finger. "This isn't a simple matter of addition and subtraction. If the amount of energy were determined by the number of people, we extras would have dominated the Chinese entertainment industry long ago."
As they were talking, Shang Yechu's milk tea was ready. Shang Yechu went to the counter, collected her milk tea and dessert, sat back down, and took a big gulp of the full-sugar milk tea.
The lethal amount of sugar was so sweet it warmed one's heart. Shang Yechu continued, "'Find your audience.' This kind of decision regarding minor roles is basically the director's sole authority. If you can win over the director, you can win over the role."
"The existence of a dance teacher is like that of an etiquette consultant in an ancient costume drama." Shang Yechu's throat was a little sore from the sugar, but fortunately she didn't have to use her mouth to talk to 103. "They are like a carving knife to improve the quality of a movie, not a judge's pen to judge the actors."
"Dear Teacher Du may be throwing a tantrum, but she might still have to give me dance lessons later." Shang Yechu said calmly, biting her straw.
When Shang Yechu spoke about her field of expertise, both her attitude and tone exuded a relaxed and composed air. 103 listened quietly, then suddenly asked, "Who is that elderly man with glasses?"
“This…” Shang Yechu stopped drinking her milk tea and started searching in the encyclopedia. “I have a vague recollection of it. It seems that ‘Tianji Tower’ has an original novel…”
Grandma Hu's bookstore had a pile of unsold old books, and Shang Yechu seemed to have accidentally come across the original text of "Tianjilou".
Sure enough, Shang Yechu found the original book in no time.
The original novel of *Tianjilou* is called *Feng Xi Youlong*. It is not a single volume, but a series. It includes titles such as *Feng Xi Youlong: A Journey to Jiangnan*, *Feng Xi Youlong: A Journey to the Northern Desert*, *Feng Xi Youlong: The Mystery of the Dynasty*, and *Feng Xi Youlong: The Seven Doors*.
"Tianji Tower" is the first book in this series, titled "Phoenix Plays with Dragon: Tianji Tower".
The book "Phoenix Plays with Dragon: The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion" is older than Shang Yechu's two lifetimes combined, and was written more than fifty years ago.
"Phoenix Plays with Dragon" is a series of wuxia novels. From the 1950s and 60s to the 1980s and 90s, the wuxia literary genre flourished. The wuxia literary scene was a constellation of brilliant stars, producing countless popular works.
However, most martial arts novels feature male protagonists. The audience for martial arts novels isn't limited to men; a significant number of female readers also yearn to see stories of valiant female warriors traversing the martial arts world from a female perspective.
Against this backdrop, "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" was created in response to the times.
The protagonist of "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" is an orphan girl burdened with a deep-seated hatred for her family's massacre. To uncover the truth behind the massacre of her clan, the female protagonist, Xiao Fengque, disguises herself as a man and delves into the most mysterious organization in the martial arts world, "Tianji Tower," embarking on a thrilling journey.
Upon publication, this book caused a sensation among martial arts enthusiasts. The female protagonist, Xiao Fengque, is brave and resourceful, burdened with a blood feud, yet she firmly believes in justice and fairness. The character is richly developed and vividly portrayed, bringing a breath of fresh air to the then-dominantly masculine world of martial arts literature.
After its popularity, "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" quickly gained a large following. In the pirated novel bookstores at the time, besides the works of masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng, "Phoenix Plays with Dragon" was the most popular book to lend.
After the great success of "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon: The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion", the author was greatly encouraged and went on to create sequels such as "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon: A Journey to Jiangnan", "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon: A Journey to the Northern Desert", "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon: The Mystery of the Dynasty", and "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon: The Seven Doors", spanning more than 30 years and totaling as many as 20 books.
