Chapter 33

: Plot Adaptation - The Most Handsome Ah Fei Appears

"Have you come to the wrong place?" Jin Demao hurriedly came up.

"Is this the set of 'Little Li Flying Dagger'?" The staff member was a little confused, wondering if he had come to the wrong place.

"Yes," Jin Demao nodded.

"Then it must be right, it's the one your production team decided on," the staff member breathed a sigh of relief, thankful they hadn't gone to the wrong place.

"what……"

"Director, I'm sorry, I made the decision," Zhou Yan said as he walked over and took the box from the staff.

"It's quite heavy," Zhou Yan said after handling it, finding it heavier than he had imagined.

"There's another box," the staff member said, handing the other box to Zhou Yan.

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhou Yan said, then placed the hot coffee on the table.

"Xiao Zhou, did you order all of these?" Only then did Yuen Woo-ping realize who had bought them.

"I happened to see this store having an opening promotion on my way here, so I bought some things," Zhou Yan said, opening the box.

"Director, they're still warm," Zhou Yan said, taking out a few cups and handing them to Yuen Woo-ping and the others.

The items weren't very valuable, but they warmed people's hearts.

"Xiao Zhou, thank you for your expense," Yuen Woo-ping and the others said, reaching out to accept the gifts with great joy.

Drinking a hot cup of coffee on such a cold winter day is truly delightful.

"Director, you're being a bit too polite," Zhou Yan said, looking at the people behind him.

"Everyone, I won't help you carry them. I ordered a lot, so everyone should have one," Zhou Yan said, taking a few cups out of the box and handing them to Fan Binbin, Jia Jingwen, and the others.

"Thank you," Jia Jingwen said, accepting the gift with both hands, very happy.

"Zhou Yan, thank you for the coffee," Yu Feihong said politely, sipping her hot coffee as she came over to express her gratitude.

"Sister Hong, you're too kind," Zhou Yan said, not minding at all.

"Sister Qiang, here you go," Jiao Enjun came over to help distribute the food.

Soon, everyone had a cup in their hand.

Some people held it to warm their hands, while others drank a few sips to warm their stomachs.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

Although Zhou Yan spent money, he was very happy.

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

Sometimes, the things that are free are the most expensive!

……

After the meeting, everyone received their room keys from the staff and returned to their rooms.

Before leaving, Yuen Woo-ping told them to wait in the room, and that staff would come to them later to sign the contract.

Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin did not live together, and he did not go to see her.

Back in the room, Zhou Yan flipped through the script, looking for scenes that involved him!

Just like in the TV series of his previous life, he was entangled with two women.

One is Xing'er, and the other is Sun Xiaohong.

This is quite different from the original novel.

As for Xing'er, she's an original character, so you can write whatever you want about her.

However, Sun Xiaohong is a fictional character. In the book, she is with Li Xunhuan and even has a son named Li Manqing.

The TV series not only didn't pair the two together, but also gave Sun Xiaohong and Afei a romantic storyline, making some changes to the original story!

Zhou Yan looked at his scene, his heart filled with anticipation.

Not only will he be able to marry Fan Binbin in the drama, but he will also have interactions with Alyssa Chia. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Unfortunately, Fan Binbin's character, Xing'er, did not survive to the end.

While Zhou Yan was reading the script, Fan Binbin and the others were also flipping through it.

"Huh? I actually married Ah Fei and died in his arms?" Fan Binbin's feelings were complicated.

She was initially happy and excited to see herself dressed in a wedding gown and marrying A-Fei, after all, A-Fei was played by Zhou Yan.

The next second, he died in the other person's arms.

It disgusted Fan Binbin.

"What was the screenwriter thinking?" Fan Binbin asked angrily.

She desperately wanted to change the outcome, but her voice carried little weight.

As Jia Jingwen flipped through the script, she found it increasingly strange, wondering why it differed from the original text she had read.

"Are the script and the original novel changed that much?"

"Why make this change?"

Jia Jingwen was very puzzled.

Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the audience after the broadcast?

"But what does this have to do with me? I'll just act according to the script," Jia Jingwen quickly adjusted her mindset.

She can act opposite both Jiao Enjun and Zhou Yan.

……

After Zhou Yan signed the contract, he saw the staff off.

Unlike other people's contracts, his was a fixed price—30,000 Hong Kong dollars!

When the production team offered this price, Zhou Yan did not haggle!

Wu Jing in her previous life was priced at the same level, but there was a certain gap in their fame.

At this time, Wu Jing had already starred in films such as "Tai Chi Master" and "Shaolin". What had Zhou Yan starred in?

Not a single one!

They're all supporting characters!

Why did Yuen Woo-ping choose Zhou Yan to play Ah Fei?

First, he has a suitable appearance, knows kung fu, and has good swordsmanship.

Secondly, Zhou Yan is sensible, knows how to be grateful, and respects himself.

Third, their low profile means their pay won't be too high!

Most importantly, Yuen Woo-ping felt that Zhou Yan had good talent and ability and was willing to give him a chance!

If a person who knows how to be grateful becomes successful, they will one day be able to help themselves!

Fan Binbin received less pay because he had fewer scenes to play.

However, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are much taller than them.

This is also the current situation in the mainland entertainment industry: Hong Kong and Taiwan artists receive high salaries but do the least amount of work; mainland artists receive low salaries but do a lot more work!

This injustice led to conflicts between mainland artists and Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, which gradually escalated the situation.

First there was the incident of Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng assaulting Wang Bozhao; then there was the verbal battle between Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo.

At that time, half of the entertainment industry got involved.

However, Zhou Yan believes that this situation will change soon.

……

After holding a launch ceremony in Wushi, the group headed to Hengdian World Studios two days later to begin filming.

Fan Binbin and Zhou Yan said goodbye in Wushi and returned to Kyoto ahead of everyone else.

This separation means the two will not see each other for at least two months, and they are very reluctant to part.

As soon as Zhou Yan and others joined the crew, they began working at a high intensity. Under the "exquisite" skills of the makeup artists, one "vivid" character after another appeared.

Jiao Enjun's "instant noodle hair," Lin Shiyin's fan-shaped hairstyle, Jia Jingwen's headscarf hairstyle...

They portray characters purely through their own temperament and charm.

Lin Shih-Yu, in particular, truly deserves to be named "Taiwan's Number One Beauty"—her looks and appearance are absolutely stunning.

Its design with a fan inserted at the back of its head is even more classic, giving people a feeling of "love at first sight and unforgettable".

In comparison, Cheng Ka-yan, who plays the "most beautiful woman in the world" in the drama, lacks a lot in terms of temperament and charm.

It's not that Zheng Jiaxin isn't charming, but rather it depends on who you're comparing her to.

Standing in front of Xiao Qiang, Zheng Jiaxin was like a green leaf next to a red flower; everyone's attention was drawn to Xiao Qiang.

She doesn't have the charm of "the most beautiful woman in the world"!

Alyssa Chia's headscarf look doesn't appear tacky at all; on the contrary, her outstanding appearance makes her look even more innocent.

Those bright, large eyes were incredibly charming with every blink.

No wonder so many men are blinded by lust and abandon their wives and children!

Because of the "coffee" incident, Zhou Yan gave her makeup artist some feedback.

And so, a different Ah Fei from his previous life appeared before everyone.

With bright, sparkling eyes and exquisitely defined features, she possessed striking features.

Zhou Yan's version is much better than the original, and his looks and physique far surpass Wu Jing's, making him even more handsome and dashing.

Xiao Qiang, Zheng Jiaxin, and Jia Jingwen all changed their expressions when they saw Zhou Yan appear.

They never expected Zhou Yan's ancient costume look to be so stunning!

It has a kind of feeling that makes you "unforgettable".

Zhou Yan's appearance also helped everyone understand why Sun Xiaohong would give up Li Xunhuan and choose A Fei instead.

Absolutely reasonable!
