Chapter 341: The First Battle of Immortal PowerWei Wu pulled off the red cloth covering the camera and announced loudly:
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy III has officially started filming!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered and applauded very considerately, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
Among all the leading actors, Yang Mi seemed the most excited, as if she was about to jump up at any time.
But it's not surprising. After all, she urgently needs this heroine to help her successfully advance to the first line.
The look she gave Wei Wu was also full of gratitude and tenderness.
The reason why Yang Mi was grateful was that before the filming of "Chinese Paladin III" started, Liu Tianxian had always been the most popular candidate for the female lead.
There is no other reason, it’s just because Liu Tianxian’s Zhao Linger is so outstanding.
The performances of the two protagonists in "The Chinese Paladin" were both phenomenal. Now that the "Chinese Paladin" series is going to have a sequel, Hu Ge and Liu Tianxian naturally become the first choices for the male and female protagonists.
In the previous life, Liu Tianxian was also highly favored to star in "Chinese Paladin III", but she did not do so for two main reasons:
The first reason is that this is a self-produced drama by Tangren, and Liu Tianxian is not a contracted artist under the production company. Moreover, she had already had a public conflict with Tangren at the time, so it was even more impossible for them to cooperate.
The second reason was that Liu Tianxian had basically completely given up on the TV drama track and began to focus on the film track, and had little desire to act in TV dramas.
But that was the situation in the previous life. The situation in this life is very different. At least for Liu Tianxian, these two obstacles do not exist at present.
Now Liu Tianxian is an artist under the producer, and Liu Tianxian has not given up on the TV drama track for the time being.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, especially after Weiguo Pictures snatched the film and television rights of "Chinese Paladin III" from Tangren, the call for Liu Tianxian to play Tang Xuejian has become even louder!
Even when Weiguo Films officially announced that the heroine of "Chinese Paladin III" was Yang Mi, it caused quite a stir online.
Liu Tianxian’s fans immediately spoke up for her, thinking that Wei Wu was biased and that the role should be given to his real girlfriend Liu Tianxian.
The reason why "Chinese Paladin III" has received so much attention today is mainly because of the great success of its predecessor "Chinese Paladin I", and Liu Tianxian made a great contribution to the success of "Chinese Paladin I".
No matter in terms of fame or status, Yang Mi is far from Liu Tianxian.
Besides, she was once Liu Tianxian's love rival, so how could she get this role?
Yes, that's right. The fact that Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian pursued Wei Wu together on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was already exposed by paparazzi.
As Yang Mi gradually became more popular and entered the public eye, the fact that she was not getting along with Liu Tianxian was heard by not only their own fans but even passers-by.
Moreover, since the advent of Weibo, this matter has been directly brought to the table.
Because among all the contracted artists of Shu Culture, they are the only pair of fellow artists who have zero interaction with each other on Weibo.
Naturally, Yang Mi’s fans couldn’t stand what Liu Tianxian’s fans said.
So Yang Mi's fans said that the reason why Yang Mi was able to play Tang Xuejian was because she was more suitable for this role, and Liu Tianxian was obviously not suitable for this role:
"I feel like Liu Yifei isn't very suitable! Tang Xuejian is obviously a lively and cheerful person, and a little bit unruly."
"On the top floor, I personally feel that the character is totally out of character!"
"In fact, the only role suitable for Liu Yifei in Chinese Paladin III is Xiyao, but she looks exactly like Xuejian!"
"Xuejian is too lively, totally unlike Liu Yifei! If she has to play a role, it should be Long Kui, right? But then it can only be Long Kui's ending." In fact, the Chinese Paladin III game has 5 endings, and the original drama version filmed the Xuejian ending.
In addition, there is the ending of Zi Xuan, in which Zi Xuan helps Xu Changqing ascend to become an immortal, and she herself becomes a mortal. She and Jingtian live in seclusion in the same village, and the whereabouts of Xuejian Longkui is unknown.
Huaying's ending is that Xuejian died while forging a sword, Zixuan sacrificed herself while repairing the Demon Locking Tower, Longkui was killed by Chonglou and then resurrected, and finally Jingtian and Huaying traveled the world together.
The ending of Long Kui is that Xuejian sacrificed herself while forging the sword. Hong Kui left and encouraged Lan Kui to pursue love bravely, telling her that "love cannot be shared". In the end, Lan Kui happily ran towards Jingtian.
Of course, there is a perfect ending. Long Kui is resurrected by Chonglou as Red and Blue Long Kui. They live with Xuejian and Jingtian in Xin'an Pawnshop. Blue Kui is responsible for identifying antiques from the pre-Qin period, and Red Kui is responsible for scaring away the bad guys.
In fact, Wei Wu also considered whether to change the ending.
But he didn't know if it was because of his preconceived notions, but he still felt that this version of Xuejian's ending had more dramatic tension, so he chose not to change it.
Let’s get back to the point. In short, fans of Liu Tianxian and Yang Mi both insisted that their own stars were more suitable to play Tang Xuejian.
So the two groups started arguing online. Given Yang Mi's current fan base, her group was basically doomed to lose.
But the participation of another group of people turned the war of words from one-sided to a tug-of-war. These people were none other than Liu Tianxian's haters.
Although the number of her black fans is far less than that of her fans, they are much more aggressive and active. The strong individual combat effectiveness makes up for the weakness in numbers to a certain extent.
Generally speaking, if you like someone, you don’t have to say it out loud; the majority of people keep silent; but if you hate someone, it’s the opposite, you really have to say it out loud.
There are many reds.
Although Liu Tianxian's online reputation and popularity among the public are much better in this life than in her previous life due to Wei Wu's secret protection, this does not mean that she has fewer black fans.
High attention is often accompanied by more criticism and controversy. The more fans a star has, the more people their behavior and words can affect.
This influence not only attracts fans, but also may attract those who hold opposing views.
Some extreme fan behaviors, such as double standards, excessive control of comments, attacks on other artists, disrupting public order, etc., may arouse the disgust of other fans or netizens, thereby generating more black fans.
There is a saying that goes “One fan is worth ten haters”, which means that the destructive power of one brainless fan is equal to that of ten haters. This is not just a casual saying!
In short, with the secret help of Liu Tianxian's black fans, Yang Mi fans and Liu Tianxian fans quarreled fiercely.
Coupled with the fact that other companies in the same industry secretly fanned the flames, causing Shu Culture to engage in infighting, which naturally got out of control.
Weibo became the main battlefield of their war of words, even causing it to crash for more than ten minutes. This was known in history as the First Immortal-Power War.
Normally, if the relationship between the three people was not so awkward, the company would generally ask Liu Tianxian to come forward and make a statement at this time to help calm public opinion.
The general meaning is to say that he thanks the fans for their support, but he declined the role because he was not a good match for the role. Finally, he hopes that the fans can remain rational and continue to support the company's new drama.
But Wei Wu felt guilty after all, so he didn't let Liu Tianxian compromise like this.
Instead, they adopted the method of blocking accounts and using new hot spots to distract attention, and calmed down the war of words without making any noise.
To be honest, Yang Mi was a little worried at the time that Wei Wu would "follow public opinion" and replace her, but fortunately it did not happen in the end.
However, Yang Mi saw all the pressure Wei Wu had taken on for her, and was deeply moved, so her eyes were so affectionate today.
