Chapter 1757
Shushan Game 23
There is a character in this drama who is the male lead's younger brother and is just as skilled as the male lead.
He had already chosen a role, but the young actor's agent found him a supporting role in a big-budget movie.
This young actor then abandoned his television drama production and joined a film crew.
Since the studio had just been established, many procedures were not yet standardized. Although the young actor got the role, he did not sign a contract. Switching to another production team was not considered a breach of contract.
Filming has already started, but they still haven't found the right actors. The director is getting a little anxious.
Upon seeing Liu Dong, he thought of bringing people over to give it a try.
Liu Tong had overheard Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng discussing the plot and knew about the younger brother's character.
He found it interesting and happened to have some free time, so he agreed to the director's offer.
Huo Yifeng was very happy, while Liu Pei muttered, "Why isn't he playing my younger brother?"
Liu Dong: "Because you don't have a younger brother in the drama."
After a month of filming, Liu Dong returned to the game.
At this point, the storyline of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen" has ended, and the game's storyline has progressed to the "Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng" stage.
Liu Tong has not read "The Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng".
He had a bad impression of Zhu Mei from Mount Shu, so he didn't watch "The Nineteen Heroes of Qingcheng", which featured Zhu Mei's disciples as the main characters.
Liu Tong lost her innate advantage in the game.
But he didn't care; he had already gained a lot from this game.
And why bother calculating so much when playing games?
Just play however you like.
Two new dramas from Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng's studios have been released one after another.
Their portrayal of the BOSS was very impressive, and Liu Pei's fame rose again, from a minor actor to a third-tier actor.
The audience could recognize Liu Pei's face and call him by name.
After that, the Republican-era adventure drama was broadcast.
Huo Yifeng and Liu Pei became popular again, and Liu Tong also became popular.
But Liu Dong had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. Apart from knowing that he existed, the audience knew nothing else about him.
Even the names were stage names chosen by Liu Dong; she didn't use her real name.
The airing of the two TV series made Huo Yifeng and Liu Pei's studio a fortune, and many entertainment companies and artists were optimistic about them and wanted to cooperate with them.
At this time, the director of the fantasy drama that the two had previously collaborated with approached them and gave them a script.
The script is still a fantasy/martial arts story, and it's related to the currently popular holographic game, "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen".
This script is an excerpt from "The Swordsman of Shushan", and it selects one of the characters as the protagonist, who is someone Liu Tong knows well.
It was none other than Deng Yin!
The script's content is the same as Deng Yin's experiences in the original novel "Shushan Swordsman", telling the story of Deng Yin's journey from a mortal to a cultivator and then to a blood demon.
Of course, Deng Yin is only the second male lead.
The male lead is Ren Shou, the Long-Browed Immortal.
The content was so captivating that both Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng were somewhat tempted.
but……
Liu Pei: "Director Zhang, 'Shushan Swordsman' is a game operated by Dynasty Company, and they own all the copyrights to 'Shushan.' Isn't our filming of 'Long-Browed Immortal' an infringement?"
Director Zhang: "Don't worry, I have the authorization. The story of 'The Swordsman of Shushan' was written by my wife's grandfather, and the president of Dynasty Company is my wife's brother."
Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng: "..."
Liu Pei and Huo Yifeng: "Our apologies! Our apologies!"
Director Zhang is quite the big shot! Director Zhang chuckled.
He is also a player of "Shushan Swordsman" and, because he knows the storyline, he is doing very well in the game.
Although not in the top ten players on the leaderboard, he is still within the top one hundred.
He became Zhu Mei's disciple and is now the senior disciple of the Qingcheng Sect.
The script for "The Long-Browed Immortal" was thus established, with Huo Yifeng and Liu Pei playing the roles of the Long-Browed Immortal Ren Shou and Liu Pei, respectively.
Liu Pei plays Deng Yin, who knows that his younger brother has some connection with Deng Yin, so he asks Liu Dong for advice to learn more about Deng Yin.
—The storyline where Liu Qiu encounters Deng Yin is a hidden and unique plot point. This means that apart from Liu Qiu having met the previous Deng Yin, no other player can meet Deng Yin. They can only meet the Blood Demon.
Liu Tong looked through Liu Pei's storyline and felt uneasy.
The script does not include the Demon Lord Xuan Kui. Deng Yin is manipulated by two women and, due to his deep affection, ultimately falls into the demonic path.
But it was clearly not Deng Yin who fell into the demonic path; he was simply possessed by the Demon Lord Xuan Kui.
Liu Tong found Director Zhang and told him the inside story she learned from Deng Yin in the game. Then she took out her personal terminal and opened the transfer page.
"I'll invest! But the storyline has to be changed!"
Director Zhang really wanted to show that he was "uncorrupted by wealth and status," but with money right in front of him, it was hard for him not to be tempted.
Director Zhang: "I wonder which part of the plot Mr. Liu wants to change?"
Liu Dong: "Let me tell you about my experience in the game. I obtained a magical artifact that could trigger time travel. It took me a thousand years ago, where I met Deng Yin, a young man who had not yet begun his cultivation..."
Liu Dong recounted how the three Shen sisters manipulated Deng Yin; he also described Deng Yin's relationship with the Demon Lord Xuan Kui, and how the Demon Lord Xuan Kui used the Red Flower Demoness to possess Deng Yin...
Director Zhang's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened.
He slapped his thigh: "I knew Deng Yin's personality changed too much in this story. Although it can be explained by being possessed by a demon, it still feels strange. It makes sense if we explain it by saying that he wasn't the same person."
Director Zhang: "Revise, revise the script."
Liu Tong's narration was even more captivating than the script described; he would rewrite the script even if Liu Tong didn't pay him.
As Director Zhang pondered this, he took out his personal computer and gave Liu Dong his account information.
Meaning: Send me money!
Liu Tong: "..."
Liu Dong obediently transferred the money to Director Zhang, who happily went to find his wife.
His wife is the screenwriter of this drama and also the planner of the game "Shushan Swordsman".
Liu Pei's role was thus greatly expanded; he not only had to play Deng Yin but also Xuan Kui Demon Lord, which was a test for him.
But Liu Pei is not afraid of tests; he likes them because they are a test of his acting skills.
Because it's related to the hottest game, "The Long-Browed Immortal" has attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of filming. Reporters have been camping out outside the film set every day, hoping to capture some eye-catching news.
As it turned out, the production team really did produce a big announcement for them.
Director Zhang was unlucky; during the last shoot, an accident occurred on set, resulting in Huo Yifeng being injured.
This time, someone has pulled another dirty trick.
And this time, they're really after people's lives.
The incident wasn't caused by Huo Yifeng, but by Director Zhang's enemies who wanted to ruin his reputation and didn't care about harming innocent people.
This time, Director Zhang is going to film the scene of the Long-Browed Immortal fighting against the Blood Demon.
Both of them were about to fly high into the sky to fight in mid-air. (End of Chapter)
