128: Chapter 128 Xiao Ran Makes Her Debut
The bullet comment culture on Bilibili is more prevalent than on any other site. Just as the third episode started, Lin Chuyan was flooded by bullet comments.
However, he couldn't bring himself to turn them off. Instead, he just lowered the opacity of the bullet comments and started watching along with the netizens.
"Lin the Dog didn't say he was buying a subscription? I bought one, can I curse now?"
"I've watched 'hunting blue star' three times. This mere 'drama' is nothing."
"These days, any stray cat or dog can just call themselves Prince. Lin Chuyan, are you worthy?"
"Did you even watch the first two episodes before yelling here? If you don't understand later, don't blame this or that. I'm speechless."
"Another fierce warrior added to the world of ugly men in period dramas? I'm looking forward to it."
"Here to see Prince Xiao Ran. Lin Chuyan's peerless beauty!"
"Peerless your sister, you haven't even seen the person yet and it's already peerless."
As expected, it turned into a chaotic argument again.
Nothing about the female lead, nothing about the male lead... nobody was discussing the show; everyone was sidelined.
To be honest, for casual viewers, this situation is quite annoying. After all, casual viewers are here to watch the show, not to watch fans and Haters bicker.
However, Lin Chuyan didn't have a ripple of emotion in his heart. When a person is popular, there are many controversies; this kind of thing is unavoidable.
Furthermore, he has traffic, that's true, but the biggest difference between him and traffic actors is that he has acting skills, right?
In the face of strength, all other matters can be resolved.
So, just keep watching.
Halfway through the third episode, Prince Xiao Ran, played by Lin Chuyan, finally appeared amidst everyone's expectations.
The courtyard was deep and secluded, with willows shrouded in mist and countless layers of curtains.
The camera first showed the back of a man. He stood tall and upright, hands behind his back, wearing a jade ring on his finger, wondering what he was thinking about.
The camera turned to the front; who else could it be but Lin Chuyan?
A jade crown bound his hair, perfectly presenting his facial features to the audience.
Lin the Dog was still that same Lin the Dog; everyone was used to his image of pointing fingers and cursing on Weibo.
But after changing into this attire, why did his temperament change so much?
His skin was fair, yet not effeminate. Under his thick, jet-black hair, he looked even more like jade. There was a heroic spirit between his brows, and his eyes were deep and firm, as if they could see through people's hearts. His nose was high and straight, his lips clearly defined, currently slightly pursed, appearing firm yet gentle.
Paired with this python robe, just standing there without saying a word, the flow of his gaze already revealed his nobility.
The bullet comments went crazy from the moment Lin Chuyan appeared.
"Haters, come out and talk!"
"Lin Chuyan, please take more period dramas to save the Chinese Entertainment Industry, I beg you."
"There's no time, let's just go with Lin Chuyan today!"
"family who knows! First time in my life eating so well..."
"Awesome, Lin Chuyan in his prime, even I have to step aside."
"To the one above, you're stepping aside for a lifetime."
"Laugh to death, a male vase, right? Really not looking at acting skills."
"Sour, Haters keep being sour. My heart aches for my brother. With this face, he actually ended up with no roles for years."
The bullet comments were basically all praise right now. Many Haters had already shut up; in the face of absolute looks, wanting to say things against their conscience would only get them roasted.
Don't worry, no rush. This was just an appearance; they hadn't seen the acting yet, what's the rush? It won't be too late to roast later!
Soon, a subordinate came to report that Commander Ye Fei of the Imperial City Division requested an audience.
It was the male lead played by Zhou Qi who had arrived.
Actually, Zhou Qi looked quite good; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the training camp after auditioning for 'Fengshen' after filming this.
It's just that everything fears comparison.
First of all, the status difference between the two in the show was huge, and the clothes they wore were not on the same level.
Secondly, Zhou Qi's face was indeed not as suitable for period dramas as Lin Chuyan's; it was more rugged and modern.
Finally, his acting skills were not as good as Lin Chuyan's, which was a comprehensive crushing.
At this moment, Commander Ye Fei, played by Zhou Qi, bowed. Prince Xiao Ran gently helped him up with his hand: "Commander Ye, no need for formalities."
Ye Fei stood up, and they both had half of their profiles facing the camera.
"Who is the male lead exactly? Director, come out and say a few words!"
"No, I checked the actor billing, I'm sure that guy named Ye Fei is the male lead, I didn't see it wrong!"
"Really, the male lead appeared at the end of the first episode. If you don't believe me, flip back and watch, he has plenty of scenes."
"No, why are we still discussing this? In the second episode, the female lead already married this Ye Fei, isn't it obvious who the male lead is?"
"Obvious my ass! You look at them standing together like this, you must be blind to think it's obvious."
The plot continued.
Ye Fei had come to solve a case, and the key to solving it, after much thought, required borrowing someone from Prince Xiao Ran.
But he also knew that once he got involved in interests with Prince Xiao Ran, the other party wouldn't miss this opportunity to win him over.
And Ye Fei didn't want to get involved in the power struggle too early, which led to this tug-of-war.
When Ye Fei bowed, Prince Xiao Ran's face was still cold and distant.
Now, after helping him up, he smiled, his expression having changed, looking like a spring breeze: "Commander Ye, you've just been married, shouldn't you take a few more days off?"
Ye Fei: "Official business is busy, I really dare not neglect it."
Prince Xiao Ran nodded. Seeing that he wasn't telling the truth, his expression grew a bit colder, but what he said was praise: "Commander Ye is loyal to his duties; it is a blessing for the country."
"I dare not." Seeing that Prince Xiao Ran stopped talking, Ye Fei had to take the initiative to mention borrowing someone.
"Oh?" Prince Xiao Ran's expression was ambiguous. He turned around, using the traditional posture of ancients speaking with their backs to others, "It's not that I can't, it's just..."
So at this moment, the camera angle changed so that Ye Fei couldn't see his expression, but the audience could clearly see Prince Xiao Ran's emotional activity—it was a kind of carelessness and determination.
What case? What dead people? What commoners? These had nothing to do with him, Prince Xiao Ran.
He only cared that even if Ye Fei couldn't be brought under his command immediately, he had to make the other party know that he owed him a favor.
Ye Fei took the bait: "Please enlighten me, Your Highness."
Prince Xiao Ran turned the jade ring and turned around again.
With this turn, without the camera capturing it, Prince Xiao Ran had already completed the change of expression. His face was still the smile that felt like a spring breeze, as if it had never changed: "It's just that my subordinate is not in the city right now. Commander Ye, rest assured, I will write a letter. Within three days, I will send him to your mansion!"
Ye Fei bowed again: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Prince Xiao Ran helped him up again, and without allowing him to refuse, he took his arm and welcomed him in: "Let's go! Yesterday, the Governor of Huzhou sent me some new tea, let's taste it together."
"What is this? This is Lin Chuyan? He must be possessed by a ghost!"
"Medical miracle! Medical miracle!"
"Lin Chuyan is actually not a poker face? This isn't right, his acting is actually quite natural."
"Damn, the problem is he seems to really act like he has schemes? How did he do it?"
"Okay, confirmed, Prince Xiao Ran is definitely not the male lead. He doesn't look like a good person, no wonder the female lead doesn't like him."
"Good or bad aside, Ye Fei seems to have been crushed in this scene, right?"
"Praise, keep praising awkwardly. Why not just award the Best Actor to Lin Chuyan?"
"Amazing, Idol is actually not a poker face! The fans are so happy."
"Laugh to death, Haters are just Haters. Even after cremation, even if the bones are gone, the mouth might still be hard."
After this segment, some were discussing the plot, and some were discussing Lin Chuyan.
But if someone wants to hate you, regardless of whether they have reason or not, they can always find a reason to make their logic self-consistent.
Fortunately, Brother Mosquito is still relatively reasonable.
The Junior also sent a message at this time: "Are you watching 'drama'?"
Replied: "Yes, I am."
Thought about it, and replied again: "Lin Chuyan is acting quite well..."
