Moving to Filming Location: Yuen Woo-ping

Yang Yunfei and Wang Jie stared blankly at Zhou Yan as he walked out.

"Sister Ya Ya, Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yan called out to wake the two of them.

"Oh dear," Wang Jie exclaimed before Yang Yunfei could speak, "Your look is so lifelike, anyone who didn't know better would think the real Dragon Prince had descended." Wang Jie said in a slightly exaggerated manner.

"Brother Wang, this is a bit awkward," Zhou Yan said, blushing slightly.

"Brother Wang is right," Yang Yunfei chimed in. "If you were a little older, you wouldn't have had to worry about getting the role of Little White Dragon back then."

In Yang Yunfei's eyes, Zhou Yan was clearly more suitable for the role of Xiaobailong than Wang Bozhao.

She truly possessed "a broad forehead and full cheeks that exuded charm, and a tall and upright figure like a pine tree. Her splendid clothes could not conceal her brilliance, and she stood out from the crowd with her natural grace."

Zhou Yan's appearance made the image of the "Dragon Prince" in her mind completely vivid.

Without saying a word, Yang Yunfei pulled Zhou Yan back to the filming location.

"Mom, what do you think?" Yang Yunfei couldn't wait to show off her work.

It's worth noting that Zhou Yan was in charge of everything from her makeup to her clothing.

It's no exaggeration to call it her work.

Director Yang Jie was discussing with someone how to choose locations and how to film when he heard his daughter's words and turned to look at her.

Director Yang Jie was also somewhat stunned when he saw Zhou Yan.

It felt as if Prince Moang from the book had stepped out of the book.

"Not bad, not bad," Yang Jie quickly came to his senses and praised repeatedly.

"That's right," Yang Yunfei said proudly.

"But why are you wearing white clothes?" Yang Jie was also puzzled.

"Mom, the black clothes are too small and don't fit well. Besides, Zhou Yan and I have discussed it. If Xiao Bailong can be a white dragon, then Prince Moang, as his older brother, could also be a white dragon, so wearing white clothes would be appropriate," Yang Yunfei explained.

"You're right," Yang Jie nodded, agreeing with what Yang Yunfei said.

"Alright, you'll play the role of Prince Moang. We'll go sign the contract in a bit." Since the image fits, Yang Jie didn't hesitate too much and immediately agreed.

"Thank you, Director Yang, for this opportunity," Zhou Yan said, feeling very excited.

At this moment, more and more people gathered around to watch.

"This young man is quite handsome," Yang Jing said, looking at Zhou Yan with admiration in her eyes.

"She just looks a bit young," Teacher An Yaping remarked, standing next to Yang Jing.

"No matter how young he is, you still have to call him 'Big Cousin'," Yang Jing joked.

The smile on Teacher An Yaping's face froze instantly.

He almost forgot that Zhou Yan played the role of his older cousin in the drama.

Looking at An Yaping's expression, Yang Jing couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Yang Jing and An Yaping both played roles in the drama. Yang Jing played the Blackwater River Princess, and An Yaping played the Little Crocodile Dragon.

Teacher Liu, Teacher Xu Ruohua, and others also noticed this place and joked with each other.

"Master, your position is in jeopardy," Teacher Liu joked.

"What?" Xu Ruohua didn't understand.

"He holds the title of the most handsome man in 'Journey to the West'."

"Go to hell!" Xu Ruohua laughed and reached out to slap Teacher Liu.

But Teacher Liu is a very quick person; he reacted extremely fast and dodged it in a flash.

It's clear that the two have a very good relationship.

"Master, Monkey King is right. He's younger and more handsome than you. Your title as the most handsome man in the Journey to the West crew is going to change hands," Teacher Cui, who plays Pigsy, chimed in.

Xu Ruohua looked at Zhou Yan, who was dressed in white, in the distance. What could he say?

All I can say is—you're right.

After changing into his casual clothes, Zhou Yan began to help set up the props. Although he was young, he had a keen eye for detail. In addition, he had worked as an assistant director in his previous life and was familiar with many aspects of the business. He quickly won the favor of everyone.

The scenes filmed at Miyun Reservoir were mainly location shooting; there were no action scenes.

The fight scenes in "Blackwater River" take place in another location.

The only downside is that it's cumbersome, requiring many camera positions to capture the scenery from various angles for later editing.

Of course, the main characters, Tang Sanzang and his disciples, would have to film some scenes.

Zhou Yan mingled with the film crew, learning acting skills from his seniors and filming techniques.

This is a rare learning opportunity.

You should know that everyone here is either a veteran actor or a leader in their field.

There is so much for Zhou Yan to learn.

As instructed by Cao Rong, Zhou Yan and his martial arts team communicated and exchanged ideas, and everyone cooperated well.

Everyone's just trying to make a living, and Zhou Yan isn't taking away their jobs, so there's no need for hatred.

Two weeks later, the group moved to the Shidu Scenic Area in Fangshan District to film action scenes.

Compared to Miyun Reservoir, Shidu Scenic Area is even more beautiful, with unique mountains and clear waters, steep valleys, verdant peaks, beautiful rocks and deep pools, and secluded scenery. It is known as "Green Mountain Wild Ferry, Hundred-Mile Gallery".

Upon arrival, Zhou Yan and the others were captivated by the beautiful scenery and began to explore.

The Shidu Scenic Area has an extremely high concentration of negative oxygen ions, earning it the reputation of being a "natural air conditioner and a natural oxygen bar".

Standing on the hillside, Zhou Yan gazed into the distance, feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if he were sitting on the ground watching the flowers fall and the clouds drift by.

Here, the rocks are uniquely shaped and the peaks are steep, the water is clear and the scenery is beautiful. The peaks, rocks, gorges, water, caves, streams and pools complement each other, creating a picturesque scene every three steps and a painting every five steps, forming a hundred-mile gallery; a bridge every hundred meters and a ferry every thousand meters, forming the scenery of Shidu.

The scenery of Shidu is picturesque in all four seasons, with beautiful views everywhere.

People strolled in the gentle breeze, opening their arms to embrace nature.

Zhou Yan had been to many places in his previous life, but most of them were man-made landscapes, and natural beauty like this was extremely rare.

Only well-preserved famous mountains and rivers can offer such beautiful scenery.

"Xiao Zhou," Director Yang Jie said, finding Zhou Yan.

"Director Yang," Zhou Yan said, not even bothering to admire the scenery; work was the priority.

Director Yang Jie was accompanied by a man in his fifties, wearing a hat and thin.

"Wow," Zhou Yan recognized the other person at a glance.

"Hello, Teacher Yuan!" Zhou Yan was pleasantly surprised and quickly greeted her!

The man next to director Yang Jie is none other than Yuen Woo-ping, one of the top martial arts choreographers in China.

"Hello," Yuen Woo-ping smiled and nodded, "Do you know me?"

"Yes, I know you," Zhou Yan nodded. "I've seen reports about you."

"Teacher Yuan, this is Zhou Yan, our temporary martial arts instructor and the actor who plays Prince Moang."

"Zhou Yan, this is Professor Yuen Woo-ping. Director Hu specially invited him to help you."

Director Hu En specifically invited Yuan Heping to help, as he was worried that Zhou Yan wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

"You're a promising young man," Yuen Woo-ping said, looking at Zhou Yan with admiration in his eyes. "I heard from Director Hu that you won the men's all-around gold medal and the mixed team silver medal at the Asian Games last year?"

Yuen Woo-ping originally didn't want to come, but Director Hu told him that Zhou Yan had won the all-around championship in the men's group and the silver medal in the mixed team event at the National Games. Moreover, he was only seventeen years old, extremely outstanding, and a rare talent.

He couldn't resist coming over to see if the other person was really that outstanding.
