Having left Director Ning's house, Xiao He was naturally unaware that Zhuang Hongyi and Ning Jiaqi, teacher and student, had clashed over the script.
After getting into the car, Liu Rulan began to arrange the next steps: "The release date for 'The Legend of Chasing the Wind' is set for August 8th. The official announcement will be made in the next few days, and I'll definitely be very busy afterwards. In the next few days, you'll come with me to meet a few people, which will be helpful in the future."
"good."
Xiao He couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).
Sister Liu has really arranged all these things very clearly. It seems that she had already thoroughly understood the situation here when she came to Beijing some time ago.
Liu Rulan was unaware of Xiao He's feelings. After giving instructions on what to do next, she continued to busy herself with matters on her phone. Xiao He did not dare to disturb her and sat quietly without saying a word.
A few days later, the official announcement of "The Legend of Wind Chaser" was made, and the final trailer was released.
The lingering popularity surrounding Xiao He surged again, with related terms trending almost immediately after the trailer's release, prompting enthusiastic cheers from countless fans.
【Yay! Who just finished reading "Cang Yue Jie" and hasn't even recovered from the initial shock before reading "Zhu Feng Lu"? It's me! I'm so lucky!】
【This summer was simply paradise for Xiaohe fans! Watching "Cang Yue Jie" in July and "Zhu Feng Lu" in August—who really enjoyed it? Oh, it was me!】
【Who hasn't seen the trailer for "The Legend of the Wind" yet? Everyone, go watch it now!】
【He's playing a righteous protagonist! My god, Xiao He, you've finally made it! You're actually playing a righteous character! I can't believe my eyes.】
【What?! What?! Has Brother Xiao finally come to his senses?! I always said it was such a waste that his face wasn't used for leading roles in wish-fulfillment novels. Now his dream has finally come true! This is wonderful! I'm going to read "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" right now!】
【Such handsome men, such authentic martial arts atmosphere, such authentic costumes and props, such authentic location shooting—so when was "The Legend of the Wind" filmed? I have absolutely no recollection of it.】
【Both "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" and the recently released "The Legend of Cangyue" were filmed around the same time, and it seems they were even filmed in the same film studio.】
【That's right, that's right. To those netizens who don't know the details, the second male lead of "Cang Yue Jie" had an accident, and the production team couldn't find a temporary replacement. It just so happened that Brother Xiao was also filming "Zhu Feng Lu" at the time, so he was called in to fill in. It wasn't intentional to film multiple projects at once. Please don't spread rumors.】
【Actually, it's okay. Early stars all took on multiple projects simultaneously. It's just that today's actors are of such poor quality; they can't even do their jobs properly. Taking on multiple projects at once makes them look like wooden dolls, and the quality of their performances drops drastically. That's why everyone dislikes taking on multiple projects at once. But if actors had good acting skills and their performances were consistently high-quality, we'd be happy for them to film eight movies a day.】
【Indeed, Xiao He's acting is superb. Although both are in ancient style, the feeling they give off is completely different. The character in the trailer is very different from the previous senior brother, and the overall quality of the series is also completely different from "Cang Yue Jie". Kudos to both production teams, they put in a lot of effort.】
【Indeed, period costumes and props are so formulaic these days, all with the same gauze skirts, it's become aesthetically tiring. On the contrary, when Song Chenye appeared in her simple black cloth outfit, it was a refreshing sight.】
The overall costumes in "The Legend of the Wind" are very retro, but not at all tacky; instead, they evoke the image of a chivalrous hero from the audience's memories.
【A swordsman is dressed as a swordsman, a rich young master as a rich young master, a female knight-errant as a female knight-errant, a young lady of high birth as a young lady of high birth... Just for the costumes and props, I have to go and take a good look.】
【Only I'm thinking, since Brother Xiao acted in two works at the same time, does that mean he was playing the senior brother in the morning and then Song Chenye in the afternoon? My god, I knew Little Box had evolved a kind personality! He actually played two good guys in a row! This is just too abnormal! So abnormal it scares me!】
【Alright, the Demon God says, then what am I?】
【Haha, I'm really impressed. Xiao He just can't escape the influence of a kind personality, right? Don't let him see this, or he'll definitely start secretly complaining again, hahaha.】
【Oh no, I'm starting to doubt the male lead's motives. This seems like a °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° revenge drama, but what if he turns evil later? No way, I'm already worried!】
【While reading the synopsis: Hmm, male lead seeking revenge, a tale of江湖恩怨 (jianghu grievances). After seeing Xiao He as the lead actor: Hmm, the male lead's actions must be part of a scheme to conquer the world; this young man is definitely not a good person! Danger, danger!】
【Brother Xiao, you know me. Shu Yuxiu was deceived by you, and even Senior Brother Shi didn't believe you were a bad person. But Brother Xiao, I've grown up now, so just tell me! Just how bad are you, Song Chenye? I need to prepare myself.】
【Brother Xiao: Look, this is what word-of-mouth is.】
As a work that uses Xiao He as its main selling point, "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" does not skimp on Xiao He's screen time, vividly portraying the character Song Chenye played by Xiao He.
What's rather "heartbreaking" is that, according to "enthusiastic netizens'" statistics on the appearances in the trailer, they found that Song Chenye had very few clothes.
The second male lead next door, Liu Zhilin, is the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance. His family also has some influence in the Thousand Leaf Manor, so when he appears, not only his clothes but even his fan are often different.
Only Song Chenye always wore black or gray clothes, changing several outfits at a time. If it weren't for her strong aura and pretty face, Song Chenye would probably only be able to sit with supporting actors in other production crews.
Of course, they don't even look at who the actors are.
Xiao He!
After discovering that Linghui Entertainment was also behind "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," netizens were left speechless with amusement.
【Please, your boss invested money in this, how come he's dressed like this?】
【Yes, he's practically the only male lead in period dramas with such simple clothes in the current Chinese entertainment industry.】
【Brother Xiao, you're the boss! Shouldn't you let the crew do more work for you? People will think Song Chenye is so poor he doesn't even shower.】
That evening, Xiao He was happily browsing the publicity and public opinion surrounding "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," but his grin froze after seeing the netizens' "mockery."
What kind of kind-hearted male protagonist never takes a shower?!
What are you saying? What kind of talk is this?
Couldn't the male lead just buy more than ten identical outfits at once and then wear them interchangeably?
And with this kind personality, is there no way to escape it completely?
Why do you prefer to believe that it's another version of me playing a good person, but you're unwilling to believe that I, the actor, am playing a good person?
You guys! Keep making these memes and you'll lose me!
While netizens were joking around, the trailer for "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" officially aired on CCTV-8.
Yes, "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" was successfully broadcast on satellite TV after going through layers of review.
This is Xiao He's first time playing the male lead in a TV series, and also his first truly righteous role. He no longer has to worry about character portrayal and can now confidently air on satellite TV and reach a wide television audience.
So, when Xiaohemiao passed by the living room, she was surprised to see Brother Xiao on the TV.
Meanwhile, her father, who always preferred watching older versions of martial arts movies, was now wearing glasses and watching the trailer on TV with great interest.
He Miao was utterly astonished: "Dad?"
You've changed!
