The Contrasting Goddess Fairy Liu

It wasn't surprising for Zhang Yang to see Liu Yifei again soon.

He was confident about landing the role of Cen Chong in The Four Great Constables.

He had originally planned to give Liu Yifei a "surprise" later and show off a bit.

He didn't expect Liu Yifei to surprise him first.

"A'Yang, you know Yifei?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Tangren and Liu Yifei had a falling out; even people outside the industry had heard about it, let alone those within.

The general situation was that during the filming of Chinese Paladin 1, Cai Yinong was very optimistic about Liu Yifei and wanted to sign her. However, Liu Yifei had a godfather backing her and didn't need it. Liu Yifei's mother, wanting to curry favor with Cai Yinong's production crew, didn't outright refuse, giving Cai Yinong false hope.

After filming wrapped up, Liu Yifei's mother clearly refused to sign, making Cai Yinong feel tricked. She then bought press releases to smear Liu Yifei. Later, in an effort to promote a "little Liu Yifei," she escalated her tactics, both by association and by direct criticism.

Such things were common in the entertainment industry. To put it bluntly, it was all about profit; there were no simple right or wrong answers, and one's stance was more important.

Chinese Paladin 1 had good ratings after its release, and Zhao Ling'er was one of Liu Yifei's classic roles. However, she never mentioned it in the media, as if she had forgotten acting in the drama.

Zhang Yang was still in college, and his signing with Tangren should have been relatively recent. How could he know Liu Yifei?

Everyone else also looked curiously at Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang.

Liu Yifei gave Zhang Yang a look, signaling him to answer.

"We met during the filming of Chinese Paladin 1; it's been a few years." Zhang Yang didn't evade the question and also provided the answer he owed Liu Yifei from last night.

"Chinese Paladin 1?"

Before others could react, Liu Yifei was the first to show surprise.

She took half a step back, scanning Zhang Yang with a scrutinizing gaze. Her brows furrowed, then relaxed, and finally, she asked tentatively, "Are you, Zhang Yang, Little Brother?"

"It's me." Zhang Yang smiled at Liu Yifei. "We just met last night, and I already called you Sister Yifei. That was a pretty big hint."

Met last night!?

Nazha, standing nearby, felt an even greater sense of crisis.

Zhang Yang had met Liu Yifei without her knowing.

"What kind of hint is that?" Liu Yifei thought, speechless.

The current Zhang Yang was tall, handsome, and carried himself with an air of sophistication. Her brief interaction with him last night had left her with the impression of someone humorous and bold.

The Zhang Yang from back then, during the filming of Chinese Paladin 1, was shy and easily blushed, a naive young boy who had just started junior high school, trailing behind her and calling her "Sister."

She found it hard to connect the two boys, except for those bright, attractive eyes.

"If you wanted to hint, you should have called me Sister Xixi."

"You're still playing games with me, aren't you?"

Liu Yifei suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yang's hair, and ruffled it, a hidden delight in her dark eyes.

Zhang Yang was the youngest actor on the set of Chinese Paladin back then. With his rosy lips and white teeth, he was very handsome and was practically the darling of the entire crew.

The one who "spoiled" Zhang Yang the most was Liu Yifei herself. Because Zhang Yang was also underage and younger than her, it allowed her to put on airs as a senior and elder.

Her mother, Liu Xiaoli, liked Zhang Yang very much, and Zhang Yang's mother also liked her. The two mothers often cooked special meals for them, and she liked to tease this younger brother when she had nothing else to do.

But later, Cai Yinong had her smeared, which caused her to fall into a period of deep depression. Zhang Yang was an artist signed with Tangren, and they lost contact.

The first moment she saw Zhang Yang last night, she felt a good impression, and her hands itched, making her want to go home and pet her cat. Now she finally had the answer.

"Sister Xixi, I'm not the same person I was back then." Zhang Yang symbolically blocked Liu Yifei's mischievous hand, a look of helplessness on his face. "Don't force me to resist."

"Try resisting me." Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow, acting like a hooligan.

Where was the promised Fairy Sister?

"So many people are watching; you should have some dignity," Zhang Yang reminded her helplessly, though he was quite happy inside.

It seemed Liu Yifei still remembered the sibling-like affection from the old drama crew.

"It's okay, you can pretend I don't exist." Deng Chao, the chosen entertainer, said he could just quietly watch the show.

Chen Jiashang, Lin Feng, Wallace Huo, and others all wore expressions of watching a play, while only Nazha felt uneasy.

"Everyone here knows me," Liu Yifei said. Her true self was like a tomboy, contrasting with her image.

To put it nicely, she had a beautiful appearance and an interesting soul.

"You're right, you're right. I should have introduced myself immediately," Zhang Yang said, quickly surrendering, though in reality, he felt it was about time.

Liu Yifei also stopped what she was doing. Although she lived freely, she still had the basic decorum of a celebrity artist.

"Don't let it happen again." Liu Yifei feigned a punch and whispered, "Otherwise, I'll show you what a 'Dao Ma Dan' is."

Zhang Yang: "..."

Wasn't this a form of bullying?

Was 'Dao Ma Dan' that amazing?

Zhang Yang secretly gave Lin Feng a look. The latter understood and said, "Let's start filming today's scenes. Director Chen, Deng Chao, Yifei is here to visit. A'Yang, you'd better perform well."

No one had any objections to this; everyone was in a hurry.

Under Lin Feng's direction, the entire film crew sprang into action, beginning to set up the scene.

Zhang Yang walked into the adjacent makeup room to get his makeup done by Sister Sun, then changed into a suit of silver armor, his eyes and demeanor transforming.

When he reappeared, everyone's eyes lit up.

"He's got my old charisma," Deng Chao chuckled.

Everyone: "..."

Deng Chao was still handsome, but honestly, he wasn't suited for ancient costumes.

Some people look great in modern attire but don't pull off ancient costumes, or even look ugly in them.

Then there are others whose modern look is average, but in ancient costumes, they become Chosen Ancient People, like Wallace Huo.

The last type is like Liu Yifei, Zhang Yang, and Yan Yikuan – excellent in modern makeup, and even better in ancient costumes.

"Brother Hua and Teacher Yan Yikuan can say that, but you..." Liu Yifei gave Deng Chao a look that spoke volumes.

Deng Chao: "!"

Who was it that called her Fairy Sister?

She was clearly Gummy Smile, Gummy Smile, Gummy Smile!

Of course, Deng Chao only dared to grumble this quietly in his heart.

"His image is indeed very good," Chen Jiashang said with satisfaction. "This face is perfect for the big screen. As long as his acting is up to par, he can even play Mu Panlong."

He hadn't really liked the Japan-arranged actor from the start, even though the guy was skilled. Now that the actor was injured and needed one to two months to recover, he could reasonably find someone to take his place.

At least in terms of appearance, Zhang Yang blew Mu Panlong out of the water. As long as his acting wasn't that of a hopeless case, and his salary could be a bit lower.

"All units, attention."

A few minutes later, Lin Feng sat in front of the monitor, holding a megaphone and began to direct.

"Scene X, Take X."

"Akesheng!"

On the city wall plaza.

Bang!

The drums sounded.

Hundreds of soldiers in armor began to move.

Zhang Yang, astride a white horse, was in the center of the encirclement. He yanked the reins sharply, his fierce gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

The white horse neighed, its front hooves rearing high.

Several soldiers around them cooperatively stumbled backward.

A few mounted soldiers charged forward at this moment, holding long spears.

Zhang Yang's eyes sharpened. He reached behind him, grabbed the Coiled Dragon Staff, and with an extremely simple motion, swung it out with great force.

With one sweep of the staff, two soldiers were sent flying. He leaned back to dodge two thrusts, then blocked them with the staff, sweeping it out horizontally.

"Swish!"

Two more soldiers were smashed away.

Only then did Chen Jiashang and the others watching clearly see the weapon in Zhang Yang's hand.

Liu Yifei asked in confusion, "Why is he using a staff?"
