The cast and crew of "Redemption" also seized the opportunity to release the costume photos taken today, which sparked another round of discussion online.
In the photo, the male protagonist Ji Ziyan's eyes are deep and firm as he gazes at Xing Yixin, as if she were his only salvation.
The female lead's smile is bright and warm, shining like the spring sun.
As soon as these promotional photos were released, they quickly became a trending topic on major social media platforms, with netizens praising and sharing them, expressing their high expectations for the drama.
Meanwhile, some entertainment media outlets also reported on "Redemption," praising the show's strong production team, luxurious cast, and its status as a noteworthy masterpiece.
The most viral photo is the one of Shao Wenyan embracing Yu Yunzhi, which has been widely imitated online.
Many newlywed couples became famous through this imitation video, reaping all the benefits from the film crew's popularity.
But so far, no one has been able to capture the tension between the two of them in a film.
As the topic gained popularity, the cast and crew of "Redemption" also became more well-known, attracting the attention of more viewers.
This drama is probably the one that became a hit even before filming.
——————————
The next day, because Yu Yunzhi was going to shoot a night scene, when Yu Yunzhi and Xiaoyu arrived at the set, Shao Wenyan was filming his solo scene.
Yu Yunzhi went to the dressing room to do her makeup and change her clothes first, and came out just as Shao Wenyan finished filming.
"Yunzhi and Wenyan, get ready, we're going to film Ji Ziyan and Xing Yixin's first meeting later!"
Director Zhang's voice came from the loudspeaker.
The series "Redemption" is mainly divided into three stages.
Initially, the male lead, Ji Ziyan, mysteriously enters Xing Yixin's life. The female lead, seemingly invisible, is constantly manipulated by her boss, exhausted by interpersonal relationships, and burdened by family pressures: her patriarchal parents, her materialistic younger brother, and her cheating boyfriend—all of which leave her feeling overwhelmed. These two seemingly unrelated individuals begin a relationship because of the female lead's words: "You admire me, don't you?" They embark on a difficult journey of mutual redemption.
Xing Yixin, who had been feeling invisible since childhood, had always longed for someone whose heart belonged only to her, and now Ji Ziyan had entered her life.
In the middle of the story, the characters' personalities gradually emerge. Both the male and female leads have hidden personalities. The male lead's hidden personality is that every time he wakes up, he sees people from his past walking towards him, both living and dead. Because of the nature of his work, even though he is extremely wealthy, he can never live a peaceful life. He even sleeps in the living room without drawing the curtains, always remaining vigilant. The female lead, on the other hand, questions herself like a god: Who am I? Why am I alive? Where did I come from and where am I going? The female lead lives with clarity and self-awareness; she always has the courage to believe that she is the most special one.
The two gradually grew closer. Xing Yixin never tried to change Ji Ziyan. Even though Ji Ziyan was an alcoholic, she did not try to change him or persuade him to stop drinking. She simply stayed with him, listened to his stories, and healed him from the bottom of her heart, giving him the self-motivation to change himself.
Later, due to his identity, Ji Ziyan decided to leave when their relationship was at its closest, and even the only phone number they could contact became a dead number.
Xing Yixin made up her mind to break away from her family and liberate herself. She believed that only she could save herself. Despite the messy nature of life, she still had to live on, discover love, feel love, and spread love.
Next, Shao Wenyan and Yu Yunzhi will be filming a scene where, after discovering her boyfriend's infidelity, she is walking alone on the street and is being followed by thugs. Upon hearing the familiar clinking sound of beer bottles behind her, her heart immediately settles down, because she knows her neighbor is right behind her.
After realizing there was no chance, the thugs left.
The man behind her didn't say anything and simply passed Xing Yixin and left. He was the one who had been following her the whole time.
The two did not exchange any words throughout the entire process; there was only a sense of tug-of-war.
Upon hearing the director's words, Yu Yunzhi took a deep breath and tried her best to get into character.
She imagined herself as the repressed Xing Yixin, and Shao Wenyan as a ray of light in her life.
After the scene was set up, filming officially began with a shout of "Action!"
Xing Yixin, dressed in simple business attire, walked wearily down the street. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure—her boyfriend with another woman. Her face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But she suppressed her grief, turned around and walked away quickly. She didn't want to break off relations, not because she was weak, but because she didn't want to have any more contact with those "bastards".
However, she did not notice that several thugs were quietly following her.
Just as Xing Yixin noticed these scumbags and the thugs were about to make their move, Ji Ziyan appeared.
He carried two bottles of beer and walked silently behind Xing Yixin, letting her know he was behind her with the clinking of the beer bottles.
Seeing this, the thugs realized they had met their match and left dejectedly.
Ji Ziyan silently walked to Xing Yixin's side, then passed her, without saying a word the whole time.
Xing Yixin looked up at the back of her neighbor, whose name she didn't even know, a hint of gratitude and complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
This was the first time she had really paid attention to this neighbor.
The filming of this scene went very smoothly, and Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan's professional abilities were recognized by everyone.
Director Zhang nodded in satisfaction. Yu Yunzhi's acting skills had once again amazed him. Before filming began, he was worried that Yu Yunzhi would not be able to keep up with Shao Wenyan's performance. Unexpectedly, the two were evenly matched, and Director Zhang was more confident about the upcoming plot.
Nothing is more exciting than meeting two great actors.
Many people like to say that directors are the talent scouts of actors, but what they don't know is that actors must first have the potential to be outstanding before directors can become their talent scouts.
"Cut! Good, very good, very good. Keep this up. Yunzhi, go and change your clothes. We'll shoot the next scene."
The next scene shows Xing Yixin discovering that Ji Ziyan was badly injured by the thugs from the previous night. Feeling guilty and distressed, she goes to the store after get off work to buy his favorite drink and happens to run into Ji Ziyan on the street, leading to their first conversation.
"I bought you some wine." Xing Yixin said as the two were about to pass each other again.
Ji Ziyan was stunned. Xing Yixin didn't dare to look at his face, but simply handed the plastic bag she was holding forward: "Take it."
"How much?" came the man's deep, magnetic voice.
"I'll treat you to a drink." Xing Yixin glanced quickly at the man, handed him the beer, and prepared to leave.
Before Xing Yixin had gone far, she heard "I like you" coming from behind.
Xing Yixin was stunned. It turned out that every chance encounter was his long-planned scheme.
From the moment Ji Ziyan first saw Xing Yixin, he was captivated. He bought alcohol every day just to bump into Xing Yixin on her way home from get off work.
