126: Chapter 126 Jingwen's First Broadcast!

The training camp was right in the film city. drama took up too much space, so there was more than enough room to teach the thirty or so actors.

Before leaving, Lin Chuyan actually ran into his Little Potatoes, Qiao Wei.

"Brother Chuyan! I heard yesterday that you were coming, hahahaha!"

Qiao Wei was visibly very happy to see him.

Since that web movie seven days of pursuit, the two of them had been busy with their own affairs and hadn't met, but they kept in touch on WeChat, especially since the other guy became a fan of his and Ruan Xingyu's CP, which made things feel strangely intimate.

However, Lin Chuyan really didn't know the other guy had also joined the training camp: "You're happy too early! I didn't pass the audition."

"Huh?!" Qiao Wei let out a wail, "How is that possible?"

If he could pass, how could Lin Chuyan not? Qiao Wei had a pretty good sense of where he stood.

He initially had a shadow over him because of Lin Chuyan, but once one thought it through, the power of trust transformed from that shadow was strong enough.

Although whether one could eventually get a role in this training camp depended purely on individual ability, for some reason, seeing Lin Chuyan made Qiao Wei feel much more at ease. Who knew the other guy wouldn't pass the audition???

Lin Chuyan smiled and told him about how the role of Erlang Shen had been pre-assigned.

"Alright, so that's how it is..."

Qiao Wei looked a bit dejected, but didn't say anything else. This kind of thing was too common in the entertainment industry.

Lin Chuyan found it amusing and comforted him in return: "Anyway, Erlang Shen isn't an important role here. The next one will be better. Maybe in the future, there will be a movie with Erlang Shen as the male lead that will invite me to act. So, how have you been lately?"

Hearing him say this, Qiao Wei smiled again: "Great, very good. I later acted in a web drama, which hasn't been released yet. But it's boring to always film web dramas, so now that there's a chance to act in a movie, I came."

"That's great, keep it up, strive to stay. By the way, I heard Feng Liqian is also in there. This guy is not a good person, you should be careful. But don't learn from me; even if you don't get along, don't stir up conflict. Just keep your distance."

"Alright! Thanks, brother." Qiao Wei grimaced, "I was actually feeling awkward for Feng Liqian. He was just scolded by you online. It's hard to imagine what his reaction would be if you two met in person. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."

Lin Chuyan just wanted to say that Qiao Wei still didn't know him well enough. Aside from the online war of words, his relationship with the male lead Zhou Qi wasn't good when filming drama, and later, when filming the hovering blade, he scolded Meng Xinle to his face. Later, he had another argument with someone in the office of Jianjia Entertainment...

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like he got into conflicts everywhere he went?

But it wasn't his fault, was it? If it had been someone else, maybe they wouldn't have argued, but that came with a price.

The price was "endurance".

Enduring for a moment does bring peace. If you don't want to endure, then you can only argue.

But how to put it, you only live once. Sometimes, ask yourself: Are you sure you really need so many so-called "friends"?

A few sincere ones are enough. As for the others, who cares. Don't feel awkward either. When you meet, just act as you would; as long as it doesn't affect work, it's fine.

He replied: "Besides Feng Liqian, there is also one named Zhou Qi, and one named Meng Xinle, who are also people I have offended. Hmm, if they are also in the training camp, you should be careful."

Qiao Wei grimaced again: "...Meng Xinle isn't here, but it seems there really is someone named Zhou Qi."

Lin Chuyan patted Qiao Wei on the shoulder: "Alright, remember not to say you know me in there. Mentioning my name won't do you any good."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Qiao Wei said goodbye, looking a bit cautious and unable to keep things to himself: "I'm going, brother, there are still things to do in the training camp. Um, say hello to my sister-in-law for me..."

Lin Chuyan: "...Alright, no problem."

Then he saw Qiao Wei's eyes suddenly light up.

...

Since he was already here, Lin Chuyan didn't leave immediately. He, Wu Yue, and Xia Zhi simply stayed in Island City for a few more days, treating it as a vacation for himself.

Eating seafood and drinking beer, life was quite comfortable.

On the third day, the official Weibo for drama began posting updates.

"#WebDramaDramaPremieresToday# dear book fans and drama fans, the exciting moment is coming. The web drama drama that we have carefully crafted will meet everyone on Bilibili at 8 PM tonight. A heart-wrenching love, a palace power struggle, let us follow the footsteps of the heroine drama @Shi Shilan, and see how she upholds her original intentions, displays wisdom, and blooms with her unique brilliance in the palace struggles!"

Xia Zhi only joined after the new year, so naturally, she didn't know some things: "Brother, do you have many scenes in it?"

"It's alright. Male lead number two. I asked the director, and he said my part seems quite exciting."

They released it after editing. Lin Chuyan hadn't seen this drama either. To be honest, he was a little bit looking forward to it.

Xia Zhi nodded: "A big heroine drama, and you're the second male lead, so I feel like there won't be many scenes. But I checked this drama. The heroine and the first male lead are both newcomers. The most popular one is you, brother. I guess, as long as the production team isn't stupid, they should edit more of you in."

Lin Chuyan thought that made sense. When this drama was filmed, he was a nobody. Who knew that in half a year, things would change so much?

Just like now, as a big heroine drama, this Weibo post only tagged Shi Shilan, but the comment section below was all about him.

"Support Lin Chuyan! Looking forward to Prince Xiao Ran!"

"Lin Chuyan, Prince Xiao Ran, see you tonight!"

"I'm happy it's Friday, and even happier to watch Prince Xiao Ran!"

"Prince Xiao Ran has arrived! This is great!"

"Laughing to death. You scold others for bad acting, yet you end up acting in this kind of crappy little web drama?"

"None of the leads are known, and the fans really dare to brag. Is this the strength of your Idol?"

"Haven't you seen hunting blue star? If you like watching a poker face so much, fans can go review it."

"You haven't released a single album, yet you're busy making money acting again. Tsk tsk, I can only say I respect and wish the best for people who like such a person."

"Lin Chuyan, I'm watching you!"

The composition of the two sides was obvious, and they soon started arguing.

Not to mention anything else, Director Yang Yang was quite happy. Isn't this how the hype comes?

So he arranged for someone to post another Weibo.

"#WebDramaDramaPremieresToday# drama: Prince Xiao Ran, the contest between power and emotion! dear drama fans, let us turn our eyes to the complex character in drama whom people love and hate at the same time — Prince Xiao Ran, interpreted with passion by the talented @Lin Chuyan! He is the cold-blooded prince in the power struggle, using iron-fisted means to maintain his power; he is also the tender man in the world of emotions, hiding unknown love and struggles deep in his heart. See you on Bilibili at 8 PM tonight! Let us witness together how Lin Chuyan perfectly presents the domineering and tenderness of Prince Xiao Ran, taking you into a magnificent ancient world."

The first male lead? The first male lead can wait. After all, no one knows him, right? No rush. Let's bring out the second male lead first!

At 8 PM, drama officially premiered!

At 8:40 PM, the number of short reviews on Douban started to skyrocket crazily.

Lin Chuyan was busy watching the drama and didn't notice; it was Xia Zhi who told him about this.

Well, it was a sea of one-star negative reviews!
