, "Little Li Flying Dagger," sparks interest in "The World's Number One

Zhou Yan never expected that the TV series Yuen Woo-ping invited her to participate in would be "Little Li Flying Dagger".

This TV series is a classic and has stood the test of time.

Even twenty years later, people are still discussing it, after all, Jiao Enjun's portrayal of Li Xunhuan was exceptionally handsome.

Not only is the content of "Little Li Flying Dagger" excellent, but the casting has also been praised by the audience, especially the female characters, who are all beauties.

Not only does it feature Taiwan's number one beauty, Hsiao Chiang, but also Fan Binbin, Jia Jingwen, Yu Feihong, and others.

The only thing that draws criticism is "Lin Xian'er".

Lin Xian'er is the "most beautiful woman in the world" in the drama, but Zheng Xinyi's appearance clearly cannot live up to the title of "most beautiful woman in the world"!

This has drawn a lot of criticism.

Some netizens even openly mocked: "The most beautiful woman in the world is not as pretty as a maid (Xing'er)."

It's a real shame about Fan Binbin. With her looks and acting skills, she could have easily played Lin Xian'er after some styling.

But since her role as Jin Suo was the most popular, they always cast her as a maid.

"If I remember correctly, Fan Binbin should be suing Aunt Qiong Yao soon."

"I wonder if I can get them onto my ship," Zhou Yan pondered.

Although Fan Binbin is not very prominent now and can only play supporting roles.

But Zhou Yan knew in his heart that this was a money tree.

In 2013 and 2014, Fan Binbin topped the Forbes Celebrity List for two consecutive years.

Although they didn't reach the top in other years, their rankings were still quite good.

It's definitely a "money tree".

……

Yuen Woo-ping did not notice anything unusual about Zhou Yan.

"In short, don't neglect your swordsmanship during this time. Try to understand the character of Ah Fei more," Yuen Woo-ping said, and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Yan immediately understood what he meant and was very excited.

"Teacher Yuan, don't worry, I won't let you down," Zhou Yan solemnly assured him.

"I believe in you," in Yuen Woo-ping's mind, Zhou Yan was indeed a very good junior.

Having ability goes without saying, but the key is being sensible.

The King of Northeast once said, "The martial world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions."

Soon it was time to part ways, and Yuen Woo-ping's apprentice came to collect the luggage.

Zhou Yan stepped forward to help, putting Yuan Heping's things into the car.

"Goodbye, Teacher Yuan," Zhou Yan said, waving goodbye as he saw Yuan Heping to his car.

After the vehicle drove away, Zhou Yan fiercely clenched his fist.

"NICE!" Zhou Yan's face was full of excitement.

"Little Li Flying Dagger" was a pleasant surprise; he actually got the role of "A Fei"!

"If I remember correctly, this role should have been played by Wu Jing, so how did it end up with me?"

"Could something have gone wrong?" Zhou Yan wondered.

"Or is it that my incredible luck is working its magic again?"

After his rebirth, Zhou Yan's luck was consistently good, and everything went smoothly for him.

For example, during the last fight, he encountered Director Hu En and Director Yang Jie.

This time, the plot of "Little Li Flying Dagger" was triggered again by Mr. Yuen Woo-ping, as if an invisible hand was helping him.

Zhou Yan collectively referred to these good things as "strong luck".

"Never mind, if the role falls into my lap, it's mine. I have to get this role," Zhou Yan encouraged himself.

Prince Moang's actions were minor; this "Afei" was the real starting point.

……

It takes an hour to get to the airport from where he lives. Yuen Woo-ping took out his backpack and pulled out a book from it—"The World's Number One".

Since I'm just sitting here anyway, I might as well read a book.

Perfect timing, let's see Zhou Yan's writing skills.

Yuen Woo-ping turned to the first page and began to read carefully.

At first, Yuen Woo-ping was quite casual, but as he read on, he gradually became engrossed in the plot.

Yuen Woo-ping became more and more engrossed in the book, and before he knew it, they had arrived at the airport.

"Master, we've arrived," the disciple reminded him.

"So fast?" Yuen Woo-ping had never imagined that time would pass so quickly.

"It's been an hour already," the apprentice said with a smile. "You've been watching too intently."

"Yes," Yuen Woo-ping nodded, "but this book is indeed well-written and very interesting." Yuen Woo-ping couldn't help but praise it.

"What's the name of this book?" the apprentice asked curiously.

"The World's Number One!"

"Such a domineering name?" The apprentice was somewhat surprised. With the title "Number One Under Heaven," there must be quite a few fight scenes.

"Let's go inside first," Yuen Woo-ping said, putting the book back in his backpack and entering the airport.

Yuen Woo-ping doesn't need to do much; he has his apprentices to run errands for him.

He found a seat, took out his book, and continued reading.

The book "The World's Number One" is very thick and cannot be finished in a short time.

Fortunately, Yuen Woo-ping had plenty of time.

You can read it while waiting for your flight, on the plane, or after you get off the plane and return home.

After returning home, Yuen Woo-ping spent three days reading "The World's Finest".

The moment he closed the book, Yuen Woo-ping felt a sense of loss.

"This book is indeed well written," Yuen Woo-ping thought to himself.

In his book "The World's Number One", he found echoes of many other books.

First, there are the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, which is somewhat similar to the Four Great Constables.

Secondly, there's the character design.

Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo are somewhat similar to Wei Xiaobao and Princess Jianning.

Duan Tianya's storyline is a mix of Linghu Chong's and Duan Tianya's. Both of them have a hypocritical elder: Duan Tianya's adoptive father, Zhu Wushi, and Linghu Chong's master, Yue Buqun.

Guihai Yidao blends the storylines of Yang Guo and Qiao Feng. Guihai Yidao's severed arm is similar to Yang Guo's, and the process of investigating the truth in the middle is similar to Qiao Feng's investigation of the "Big Brother".

Shangguan Haitang is somewhat like Huang Rong and Zhao Min; she is intelligent and well-versed in poetry and literature, and likes to dress as a man, just like Zhao Min.

……

What Yuen Woo-ping values ​​most is the plot and character development.

The characters "Cao Zhengchun" and "Wan Sanqian" left a deep impression on him!

For Zhou Yan, a seventeen-year-old youth, to be able to write such an excellent work is already quite impressive.

Moreover, Zhou Yan is a graduate of a martial arts school.

He simply couldn't believe that he had no talent.

"If Xiao Zhou is willing, it could be made into a TV series," Yuen Woo-ping said, quite tempted. This version of "The World's Number One" is very worthy of adaptation.

Zhou Yan's "The Best Under Heaven" differs slightly from the original work.

In the original drama, due to Li Yapeng's torn cruciate ligament in his right leg, the production team modified the plot to accommodate his recovery, arranging for Duan Tianya's family to go to Snake Island to live in seclusion, thus temporarily removing Duan Tianya from the main storyline.

Although Li Yapeng returned after surgery, the original main storyline was adjusted, and the roles of characters such as Cheng Shifei were given more screen time.

Zhou Yan did not cut Duan Tianya's scenes like in the original drama, but made some adaptations to keep him in the main storyline and make the story focus more on the cooperation of the four secret agents.

Overall, the four secret agents have roughly the same amount of screen time.

Duan Tianya has scenes set in Japan; Gui Haiyidao has scenes depicting his cultivation journey to dominate the world; Shangguan Haitang has scenes with Wan Sanqian; and Cheng Shifei has scenes with Princess Yunluo. All of these scenes are quite captivating.
