Really Became Popular!

The director, screenwriter, lead actor, and producer were all present. Shutter after shutter kept reverberating. Xiao Qishen sat down beside Li Nan. He and Luo Yanqian had an empty spot. The reporters present knew that this was the mysterious lead actor’s spot.

Xiao Qishen politely greeted Li Nan and greeted the media with a smile. Xiao Qishen’s every word and action seemed to be very well-mannered. Of course, if it weren’t for the way he and Luo Yanqian looked at each other, it would be even more impressive.

“Everyone might think it’s strange why the press conference for ‘Millennium’ didn’t even have a promotional photo,” Liao Ran said with a smile. “Everyone might also be curious about who the other lead actor is.” She looked at the reporters whose eyes were shining brightly. Naturally, she wasn’t generous enough to solve the mystery for them. She just clapped her hands and a series of beautiful stills slid down the rollers hanging around the hall.

There was Xiao Qishen, dressed in white, standing in the clouds, and floating in the air. There was Luo Yanqian, covered in green, leaning against a willow tree. His eyes were filled with love. There were also photos of Xiao Qishen versus Luo Yanqian, as well as photos of other actors. However, there was still no image of that mysterious star.

As the reporters became captivated by the stunning stills in front of them, they became even more curious about witnessing the other main character. It was as if they have obtained an exquisite gift box. Someone had told them that there were precious treasures in it that could not be opened.

The stunt this time was big enough.

Shan Yatong stood backstage and listened to the commotion in front of him. He knew that Liao Ran was helping him because this would create more topics for him in the future and increase his popularity. He had not expected Liao Ran to praise him so much.

Lu Fan looked at the composed Shan Yatong and nodded his head in satisfaction. This young man was indeed special. Even though he was currently in front of a character that everyone wanted, he still maintained a calm attitude and did his best. This was what artists should do the most, but it was also the hardest to do.

“Does everyone want to see the love-hate relationship between immortals, foxes, and bamboos?” Liao Ran saw that the reporters’ appetites have almost been raised. When she saw the positive reactions, she stopped and raised her voice. “Everyone, please take a look at the best moments of these three.”

Behind them, a large still slowly descended. The enthralling scene immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Under the peach blossom tree, a red-clothed man’s charming eyes were like silk. His fair fingers lightly plucked the strings of the zither, while his other hand lazily stroked his earlobe. His ink-colored hair and pink peach blossom twined in the air. He was dreamy and affectionate. The face – which was between a man and a youth – had a faint smile on it. Just like a noble, elegant but full of charm, enough to enchant the world.

Beside the peach blossom tree, a white-robed man was sitting with a smile on his face and holding a green jade wine cup. However, his mind was clearly not on this exquisite wine cup. His eyes fell on the red-robed youth. His gaze was indulging and gentle as if he was guarding the most precious treasure of all time. He was careful but didn’t make people feel that it was deliberate. Everything was so natural and so beautiful.

There was a long corridor behind the young man in red. The young man in mugwort green clothes leaned against the scarlet pillar in the corridor and was looking at him affectionately. It was as if in his eyes, the only person in his world was that charming person by the zither stage.

The peach blossoms, the spring breeze, and the loved ones were enough to make a thousand years of love.

It was just a photo that showed the love-hate relationship between the three of them. At the same time, people couldn’t help but want to understand the story of how the three of them were so rousing. They wanted to know if the three of them were truly blessed in the end.

“Everyone, welcome the actor for the fox demon, Shan Yatong.” Liao Ran’s voice caused the reporters to regain their senses. Only then did they realize that the man in red was actually Shan Yatong, who was smiling shyly in front of the media. They watched as the youth in a white suit sat in his seat and saw the friendly greeting in the youth’s team. A group of words appeared in their minds. Oh, so it was Shan Yatong.

What? Wait! The main star was Shan Yatong?!

It was as if the reporters have finally snapped back to their senses. Shutter after shutter, the questions kept on. They all wanted to understand how this Shan Yatong had gotten such an opportunity. They all wanted to know how Shan Yatong had acted such a charming character.

“About everyone’s question,” Shan Yatong smiled, “why am I playing the role of Feng Wu? Everyone might have to ask Sister Liao. As for how I could act like this in my stills… Well, I’ll call it Fenghua Jidai. I like this word better.” He turned his head to look at the stills. “I think I was Feng Wu when I was filming this scene, not someone else.”

This answer was very formal, but it was a big truth. Acting was something that one should immerse into the role. One couldn’t find fault with Shan Yatong’s answer.

“May I ask if Heavenly King Xiao and Luo Yanqian really don’t agree with each other in terms of the influence of the characters in the drama?”

This question was very mysterious. The hidden meaning behind it was whether it was fake or not.

“Such a magnificent person, it’s really hard to say.” Xiao Qishen smiled generously. “If there is such a situation, I’ll be the first to tell everyone.”

Xiao Qishen’s reply was very generous, but it didn’t make people think about it. Of course, it also depended on whether anyone dared to think about it.

“I think the prerequisite is for Yatong to agree,” Luo Yanqian’s words were even more straightforward, causing the reporters to laugh out loud.

Later, some questioned the actors. The scene was pretty lively, but it didn’t appear chaotic. Finally, Li Nan answered the reporter’s question about why was Shan Yatong the chosen star.

“At that time, the person recommended by Liao Ran to me was Yatong. She said Yatong was the most suitable candidate. Although I didn’t know how Yatong’s acting skills were at that time, I still had to give her face. On the day of the audition, Shan Yatong came.” Li Nan paused, his eyes gleaming as if discovering a treasure. “As a result, Yatong surprised me. I have to admit that Yatong is the most suitable person for this role.”

Who was Li Nan? He was an international director, was a particularly selective director, and would never offer face to a producer. He praised the actor that wasn’t polite but was really good when it came to acting. The reporter now understood. This Shan Yatong relied on his own strength to get this role.

Reporters have already begun to have a draft in mind, and they have already expected that Shan Yatong would be popular, extremely popular.

The youth sitting on the stage, praised by an international director, was still smiling calmly. Like a kind boy-next-door, which made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Fan looked at the expression of the reporters under the stage. He was certain that this time, it was really red.
