The Battlefield of Public Opinion

"Ah, great, perfect!"

"Listen up, everyone! Zuo Lengchan is about to be blinded by Yue Buqun's sword. Make sure his eyes aren't actually injured!"

"Martial arts director, hurry! Yue Buqun is no match for Zuo Lengchan! There's something wrong with the action sequence you designed for Zhang Hui!"

"It's not that there's a problem with the movements, it's that Zuo Lengchan is young and strong, and he put in some effort during the fight, which Zhang Hui's body couldn't handle!"

"Excellent! Excellent! Teacher Zhang Hui's change of tactics is brilliant! His embroidery needle technique is superb! Zuo Lengchan's eyes are finally blind!"

"That was a good insertion!"

Zuo Lengchan's highlight was undoubtedly his duel with Yue Buqun at the Fengchan Terrace.

This scene took a full two hours to film.

It's not that Zhang Xuezhou wasn't good enough, but rather that veteran actor Zhang Hui had some issues with martial arts parrying and sparring.

Ah~

Zhang Xuezhou let out a heavy scream, covering his eyes with his left hand and wildly brandishing the Shaoyang Sword in his right hand to defend himself. He staggered backward, and then Teacher Zhang Hui's triumphant and arrogant laughter rang out again.

Special effects makeup altered Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's appearance, allowing him to see what he would look like in middle age.

His voice is not a problem; with his ventriloquism skills, Zhang Xuezhou has a certain advantage in controlling his voice, and can even do so without the need for a voice actor to correct it.

"Okay, pass!"

Wen Yishan breathed a sigh of relief.

Multi-camera shooting was used, with the director, assistant director, action choreographer, cinematographer, lighting technician, set designer, prop master, costume and makeup team, and other personnel all involved.

Some roles have been replaced, while others are being filmed intensively for new projects.

Wen Yishan's earlier feeling was indeed correct. For actors like Zhang Hui, these people need to play the roles in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and do their best to immerse themselves in the roles and present the charm of the characters.

But for Zhang Xuezhou and others, these roles were more like an instinctive performance.

This includes characters such as Feng Qingyang, Ren Woxing, the dual roles of Dongfang Bubai, Lin Pingzhi, Xiang Wentian, Yu Canghai, Abbess Dingxian, and Daoist Chongxu.

Compared to these actors, the professional actors playing roles like Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying do indeed appear rather inexperienced.

But this stark contrast pleased Wen Yishan even more.

He wanted the contrast between the image of a seasoned veteran and a young upstart.

"It's a pity these people didn't focus on acting; otherwise, actors in our industry would have a hard time making a living!"

Thinking about Zhang Manqian, who played Lan Fenghuang, and then about Song Sijia, who played Yue Lingshan, and then about Zuo Teng, who played Lin Pingzhi, even Wen Yishan couldn't help but complain.

The acting industry doesn't have a high barrier to entry, so it's not unusual to invite non-professional actors to act in plays.

However, the images of a group of non-professional actors outshone those of the professional actors, and they appeared in large numbers, which even Wen Yishan had to sigh about.

Clearly, there are excellent talents in the acting industry, but even more outstanding talents are not in the acting industry.

The casual shots of Zuo Teng and others demonstrate the kind of acting skills that many actors need to hone over years or even more than a decade to achieve.

He must acknowledge the existence of geniuses, and he must also acknowledge that outstanding individuals from other industries remain excellent even when they switch fields.

With more outstanding talents joining the team, Wen Yishan believes that producing twelve excellent film and television dramas a year would not be difficult.

He had previously been trying to complete the task and ensure the drama didn't fall short.

But having filmed for so long, Wen Yishan has already seen an excellent prototype for the film and television drama.

Regardless of the form of modern film and television, the core of the story remains unchanged. This drama is excellent in terms of plot, so it shouldn't be difficult for it to achieve a certain level of viewership.

Moreover, Wen Yishan has been affected by some experiences, and in addition to hard-hitting sword fights, he also added explosion scenes.

This is different from the special effects used in popular movies and TV dramas, and it also enhances the explosive feeling of punches and kicks landing with flesh.

Whether the market will accept it is hard to say, but Wen Yishan believes that this shooting method has a stronger impact than light effects and will inevitably reduce visual fatigue.

He urged the set designer to quickly change the scene and the prop master to make arrangements in preparation for the next major scene featuring the character actors.

In a corner of the outdoor shooting area, Chang Kongluo and Luo Tianming had already found small stools and sat down, enthusiastically gesturing to Zhang Xuezhou.

"Looks like you two've been exchanging a lot of words!"

Zhang Xuezhou spoke in a rough voice, and it wasn't until he coughed twice that he changed his tone and pitch back.

Watching Chang Kongluo and Luo Tianming, Zhang Xuezhou also noticed the subtle interactions between the two.

"I paid in advance for twenty doses of Crane Blood Elixir in order to obtain the Mental Strengthening," Luo Tianming coughed as he reminded him.

"Yes," Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement, "You've given us 24 million on credit for this!"

"So it was on credit," Chang Kongluo sighed. "I knew Luo Tianming was always so frugal, he wouldn't be this generous."

"I had Luo Hui rush to finish this," Luo Tianming argued. "Our family also provided two X432 repair services, which we paid on credit!"

"So you mean you got two quotas and supplied a batch of blood serum at cost?" Chang Kongluo said, "I thought you paid some terrible price!"

"This..."

"This is too simple," Chang Kongluo said. "You've barely scratched the surface, yet you're still blabbering at me!"

Chang Kongluo took the display device, swiped the screen several times, and then handed it to Luo Tianming for a glance.

"Look carefully, this is real money I'm paying for!"

Chang Kongluo's fingers quickly entered the password, and ten red lights appeared in Song Fengying's live stream. Before Luo Tianming could even complain, Chang Kongluo gave ten more million-dollar rewards.

When the huge sum of 20 million was poured in, Luo Tianming opened his mouth, but didn't dare to utter a single word.

It's unfortunate that Gary Locke fell into poverty and his family was so stingy that he didn't plan to leave any of his money to his children. But Gary Locke's family is very well-off, so it's unlikely that they would be so generous. Money and useful resources should be used wisely.

"Oh my god, our beloved Lao Luo is back! It seems Lao Luo is really looking forward to the Swordsman series. Filming for this series is indeed nearing its end, so everyone must watch it when it airs!"

Song Fengying in the live broadcast room clearly didn't understand what was going on, but Song Fengying responded very well.

Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun fought at the Fengchan Terrace, which required Ning Zhongze, played by Song Fengying, to stand by. Accordingly, Song Fengying was not far from the crowd.

As she glanced sideways, Song Fengying made a point of glancing in their direction twice.

Affected by the sequencing event incident, Feiyu Live is not only under strict investigation, but the source of the tipping funds is also being investigated.

Suddenly, the previously generous wealthy people seemed to have lost their temper.

No matter how hard Song Fengying performs, or how many people join the live streaming platform, ultimately there are more spectators than people willing to spend money.

Lao Luo's donation seemed to have sparked something; besides a large influx of onlookers, some people also joined in the donation frenzy.

What followed was a barrage of questions about genes flooding the screen.

"Brothers, forget about genes! The winners of our auditions have already landed roles in movies and TV shows. We grassroots folks have made a comeback!" Song Fengying said. "Director Wen Yishan also promised to keep holding auditions. As long as you pass the verification, the director will definitely arrange a thrilling fight scene for you. Fame is just one audition away!"

The live streaming room is also a battlefield of public opinion.

Aside from newspaper and television reports, the controversies surrounding Feiyu Live's various live streaming rooms have never ceased.

However, compared to the one-sided stance of newspapers and television stations in various provinces and cities, Feiyu Live has undoubtedly been a back-and-forth affair, with controversies never ceasing and no clear winner ever emerging.

Whether to believe various rumors or to believe that someone is manipulating public opinion, the audience needs to judge for themselves.

Clearly, live streaming achieved a more direct effect than television reports and newspapers.

Seeing is believing, and rumors are always easier to believe. But after watching live film and television broadcasts for a whole month, most people finally became convinced that this was indeed a selection process for film and television actors.
