A cramped study, outdated furnishings, and a dusty floor—
A hunched figure, elongated by the light, stood silently and motionless at the doorway of the room.
A slightly hoarse female voice narrated at this moment: "I never thought I would come back here—"
The antique-style gate swung open, and the young man looked up, revealing a pair of obedient and bright eyes. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, his tone filled with excitement and joy: "Sister? You're back?!"
"Bang--"
The bullet pierced through the bookshelf, and an elderly man, though frail, rolled to the other side of the bookshelf.
She leaned against the bookshelf, raised her hands which trembled slightly with age, and quietly observed the bloodstains between her fingers, a look of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.
That hoarse voice, like that of an old man in his twilight years, rang out again: "Is immortality a curse or a mission for us?"
She then raised her hand, pulled out a pistol from a gap in the bookshelf, turned around, and fired at the person approaching her.
"Bang bang bang—"
The intense gunfight turned the cozy bookstore into a mess, but the moment the old man turned around, the scene flashed back to the dazzling superstar on stage.
A young, pretty girl with many small braids in the audience looked disgusted, chewing gum as she said indignantly, "Why hasn't he gotten old?"
The next moment, the young man was thrown away, and a knife pierced his chest, but the bleeding stopped the next second.
The entire spacetime seemed to freeze for a moment, and even the intense sound effects became muffled again, as if they were trapped in a bag, the sound buzzing and making people feel as if their hearts were being squeezed.
The beautiful and radiant woman looked down at the assassin in front of her, dropping the bullets one by one to the ground.
Those phoenix eyes were filled ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) with a chilling murderous intent.
"I have already retreated to a secluded corner, free from desires and wants."
"But now that things have come to this, I have no other choice."
In an instant, she raised her gun and shot the charging man, while the other characters behind her made their entrance. Amidst the intense drumbeats and background music, names flashed by, and the calligraphy title of "Yuya" appeared in the center of the dark screen—
Finally, there's a slightly humorous post-credits scene.
"Yin Qi!!!"
At the dining table, Yin Lan put one foot on the stool and grabbed Yin Qi's face with one hand, lifting him directly off his seat.
"Did you steal my little cake?!"
"Ah, it wasn't me! Sis, sis! Let go!!!"
The scene shifts, and Yin Lan is sitting in her seat eating the small cake she got back, while Yin Qi's face is so swollen from being punched that he's eating his cheese bread with a pitiful expression.
Seemingly noticing the camera, Yin Qi's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and a dinner knife flew through the air—
"Bang--"
The screen went black again.
"See you on January 1st for 'The Corner'!"
【Haha, I won't say who laughed in the post-credits scene.】
【As expected of the author, they just casually slapped their forehead and filmed a bonus episode for us; it's so satisfying!】
【And I originally thought that if it were all pure action and gunfights, it would weaken the superpowers of the drug users, but I didn't expect that they would still film it in the end. The special effects during the fight scenes were top-notch, which was really cool.】
【It has all the excitement, action, and humor you could want! Pre-register for "Sumi-ya" now! You won't regret it!】
【Is this a joke referring to Yin Qi? —A fan of the original novel trying not to laugh】
【Well, how can Yin Qi's words not count? In the beginning, we laughed at him, and later he laughed at us; everyone was having a good time, it was quite nice.】
【Other members of the main cast: Are you sure?】
【Screenshot of Yin Qi's smiling face in a comic】 Yes, that's it, that's how you promote me, no problem, I'm just a silly, sweet little puppy clinging to my older sister~】
【puff--】
【A comic book fan passing by, trying not to laugh, but decided to stay and see the live-action version for laughs.】
【The thought of new viewers watching the live-action version, only to discover something's off later on, makes me want to laugh.】
【FrogFun, a masterclass in cunning! I have no choice but to watch, not for any other reason than to see everyone's reaction after learning the truth.】
【Uh, what are you guys talking about? (Little He's fan is trembling)】
【Ahem, it's nothing, we were just praising the casting of "Yu Ye" for being so faithful to the original! Especially Xiao He, who said the casting wasn't perfect? It was fantastic!】
【What's wrong with Xiao He? I suddenly smell a conspiracy.】
【Please sign the "No Spoilers Agreement for Original Work Fans" - thank you for your cooperation!】
...
Even Xiao He himself was somewhat surprised by the online discussions.
In fact, for Xiao He, the airing of the first season of "Yu Ye" did not bring him any significant benefit.
The first season of "Sumiya" mainly lays the groundwork for the background and world view, and briefly introduces the identities and stories of the main characters. Although he appears the earliest and has a strong presence from beginning to end, his character design at the beginning is not particularly outstanding. He can only be considered a source of joy and comedy.
It wasn't until the end of the second season that his character was fully revealed, and all the groundwork laid beforehand was finally laid.
So Xiao He was indeed looking forward to the first season of "Yu Ye", but he was even more looking forward to the second season of "Yu Ye".
It's a pity that the second season of "Sumiya" might not be able to air in the second half of next year; otherwise, who knows when the third season will be released...
...
The crew of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind".
After filming ended in the morning, Yuan Sitong approached Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, have you seen the promotional arrangements for 'Yu Ye'?"
Xiao He nodded: "I saw it. We'll start promotional activities at the end of December, and there will be many events after the show airs."
There are many events at the end of the year, so the production team arranged to start the publicity early, allowing several main characters from the "Yu Ye" production team to participate in the events and on stage, which can be considered as a promotional warm-up in advance.
"I just received a notification that we might have a special stage performance at the end of the year, it's a singing performance," Yuan Sitong said. "You should prepare in advance."
Xiao He's expression froze: "Singing?"
"Yes, and it's Tencent's year-end party." Yuan Sitong asked in surprise, "Brother Xiao, you didn't know?"
In fact, it's also a publicity opportunity created by the Tencent Penguin platform for their production team. After all, it's the first big-budget production to air on Tencent Penguin next year. If it can get off to a good start, it will be a very good omen, indicating that next year will be very prosperous.
Therefore, it is quite rare that the "Yu Ye" drama crew was given a performance opportunity at this year-end gala.
However, time was running out for Xiao He, as he had to film and practice singing at the same time...
"My agent mentioned it to me this morning, but I didn't ask for too much detail. I never expected it would be about singing on stage..."
Xiao He silently shed tears.
No, he really can't sing!
He really sings off-key!
