Chapter 1756
Shushan Game 22
When the Illusionary Wave Pool event started, neither Liu Pei nor Huo Yifeng logged into the game; the TV series they starred in was airing.
As the lead actors and the biggest investors, they are required to attend certain events.
Liu Dong also faced her final exams.
By the time he finished his exam, the event was over.
Because of their thorough preparation, the Fengyun Guild gained many benefits from this event.
Liu Dong watched the TV series starring Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng.
Although the plot is a bit melodramatic, it is still quite exciting, which is why the viewership ratings are not low.
Since Liu Pei became an investor, the director naturally had to flatter him and make sure that the shots of Liu Pei were edited to be outstanding.
The audience naturally remembered this outstanding supporting actor, and Liu Pei began to gain fame.
His company also began to value him and gave him a lot of work.
But Liu Pei declined these jobs.
All the roles are of the same type, which does not help improve acting skills.
The company's senior management was furious, feeling that Liu Pei was ungrateful and wanted to suppress him—they were unaware that Liu Pei had invested a large sum of money in the TV series.
Liu Pei decisively terminated her contract with the company.
His original contract was about to expire, so he's leaving now.
Huo Yifeng also left the company and started his own studio, inviting Liu Pei to join as his partner.
Liu Pei readily agreed.
The two are the big bosses of the studio and often discuss the future development of the studio together in the conference room.
Huo Yifeng handed a script to Liu Pei: "Pei, how about we film this drama?"
Liu Pei took the script and flipped through it.
This is an ancient detective drama.
The protagonist is a prince who is handsome, skilled in martial arts, and has outstanding literary talent.
This kind of persona is very popular with women.
The protagonist is surrounded by his henchmen and confidantes, and each of these characters in the protagonist's group has their own unique characteristics, which is very eye-catching.
But what's most amazing is the variety of cases in this series.
Liu Pei was full of praise and said to Huo Yifeng, "Okay, let's film this drama."
Both of them liked the show and wanted to act in it.
However, none of them chose to be the protagonist.
Although the main character's personality is very likable to the audience, the two of them prefer characters with depth and complexity.
They all chose the BOSS in the case.
The bosses in these cases each possess unique personalities and are no less intelligent than the protagonists.
If it weren't for the protagonist's protagonist halo, he would probably have been killed by these bosses long ago.
Huo Yifeng has accumulated a lot of connections in the entertainment industry over the years, while Liu Pei is rich.
The two collaborated, and the production crew was quickly assembled.
This was their studio's first project, and the two of them put in a lot of effort, even reducing their time spent playing games.
However, the time spent cultivating in reality has not been reduced.
Each time they practiced, the two of them could clearly feel the changes within their bodies.
Having experienced the benefits of cultivation, how could they possibly slack off?
Liu Dong wasn't bored playing games alone; he was now a highly respected guest of the Emei Sect.
Li Jingxu and the Drunken Taoist told Master Miaoyi about the existence of Liu Dong and Liu Pei.
As they were all disciples of their master, Master Miaoyi instructed the Emei disciples to treat Liu Tong and Liu Pei with the utmost respect when they encountered them. Liu Tong, while wandering around, met Li Yingqiong.
In the game, Li Yingqiong has no memory of being a guiding NPC, but she feels a sense of familiarity when she sees Liu Dong and treats him very well.
This surprised everyone else.
It's well known that Li Yingqiong is very kind to her friends and family, but she can be quite cold to people she doesn't know well.
Li Yingqiong invited Liu Tong to attend the grand opening ceremony of Emei Sect, and Liu Tong agreed with admiration.
This is not only a grand event for Emei, but also a grand event for the entire game world.
The game company had been promoting this grand event for a long time, and players were looking forward to its arrival while trying every means to get a spot to enter Mount Emei and watch the event from the sidelines.
—Don't ask why the Emei Sect was founded after the Illusionary Wave Pool incident if you're a fan of the original novel; it's just a problem with the game's setting.
During a break from filming, Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng took a day to play the game and participate in this grand event.
The three people sat among a group of second-generation disciples of Emei, and were interacting with elders and big shots from various sects.
This made the players, who could only follow behind the third-generation disciples of Emei, extremely surprised and envious.
On the forum, some people inquired about the three men's background and reliance on others.
"Why are they, as players, considered superior and on equal footing with NPC big shots?"
"Because these three are all top players on the level rankings! Murong Qingyan is number one on the level rankings, and Liu Suifeng and Huo Yifeng used to be in the top three, but they haven't been playing the game much lately and have been overtaken by others, but they are still in the top twenty."
"Even the top players on the leaderboard shouldn't be so favored by NPCs, right? Look at the other top players in the top ten of the level rankings, aren't they all just crowding around watching the show like us? They're not being treated like honored guests by the NPCs, are they?"
"Because they have a high status!"
"Upstairs is the legendary Yun Congying! Please reveal the secret."
Yun Congying: "After leaving the beginner village, Liu Suifeng and Murong Qingyan received the inheritance of immortals in Wawu Mountain. In terms of seniority, they are the junior brothers of Changmei Zhenren and the senior uncles of Emei Sect Master Miaoyi Zhenren."
The players: "..."
Holy crap! That's an awesome identity!
This luck is incredible!
They must be so jealous!
Why can't they share some of this luck?
Liu Dong and his two companions stole the show, but because they had changed their appearances, the players didn't recognize them as celebrities.
After establishing their residence in Emei, Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng returned to reality and continued their work.
The two actors don't have many scenes in the new drama, and filming has already finished.
But they immediately began production and filming of the next installment.
The second series is a Republican-era adventure drama with a lot of action scenes.
Huo Yifeng and Liu Pei, who are already very skilled, decided to play the male lead and the second male lead themselves.
This way, the filming will be more realistic, and viewers won't have to use a magnifying glass to find differences between the stunt double and the actor.
The second male lead in this drama is a feng shui master, a scholar with no martial arts skills, who relies entirely on the male lead for protection when he encounters danger.
But this is an adventure drama. Although the scholar is not responsible for fighting, he still encounters various dangers, such as climbing mountains and jumping off cliffs.
Therefore, actors who play scholars must also be agile.
Liu Pei chose to play the second male lead, a feng shui master, a timid and cute character. It remains to be seen whether the audience will like him.
Huo Yifeng plays the male lead, a highly skilled and domineering character, and his clothes are all very flattering. After the show airs, it will definitely make a bunch of women drool.
Liu Dong happened to be on vacation and visited their film crew, where she was spotted by the director at first glance.
Wow, the boss's brother is even better looking than the boss.
The director grabbed Liu Tong's arm: "Young man, want to try acting for fun?" (End of Chapter)
