Chapter 715: Chapter 714 Starts Filming_1 Chapter 715: Chapter 714 Starts Filming_1 You could say that the investments and actor lineup for Demon Flame are quite good. There’s no need to mention Qiao Xiaren, who is always the focus of the media.
As for Huang Ningyue, she has been on the rise ever since Love City, showing a trend towards becoming a rising starlet.
Wu Xinghui and Li Zhiyao are both veteran actors. There are even some secondary and tertiary actors with a bit of fame playing minor roles in the drama.
Therefore, Demon Flame, even before the start of filming, has swept the current market with its strong attention-drawing ability, eagerly anticipated by the viewers.
Everyone knew that this drama was excellent, but no one had expected that there was still a major role yet to be revealed – the role of Monk Minghui, astonishingly played by Chu Yifei!
When Chu Yifei walked over amid the crowd, everyone was almost left speechless.
Chu Yifei, a major star, was actually playing Monk Minghui! Huang Ningyue stared incredulously at the figure before her. When she confirmed it was indeed Chu Yifei, her eyes lit up considerably.
She was playing the character Xue Chujian, who eventually falls in love with Monk Minghui. If Chu Yifei is playing Minghui, wouldn’t the two of them form a new couple within the drama?
Ever since the ‘Love City’ duo broke apart due to Qiao Xiaren’s public revelation of her love relationship, there hasn’t been an actress who has been able to pair with Chu Yifei. Could she seize this excellent opportunity…
Amid the astonishment, everyone took turns to greet him.
Chu Yifei nodded, with a warm smile on his face. He naturally looked at Qiao Xiaren: “You started a new drama without even inviting me, that’s a bit too much.”
“Are you lacking roles to play?” Qiao Xiaren stepped forward, a faint smile on her face, “Why would you want to play a monk?”
“To be true to the Buddha and true to you, a monk falling in love with a witch seems like a taboo. I’m quite eager to experience such a thrill.” Chu Yifei took a look at her, the corner of his eyes slightly lifting, spreading an enchanting aura from his smile.
They’ve known each other for some time now, but she hadn’t realized that he had such a fetish.
As for Chu Yifei playing Minghui, director Deng said it was a pleasant surprise. He had originally planned to have a secondary male star take on the role of Minghui, but before he had a chance to make a call, Chu Yifei’s agent took the initiative to express their interest in playing Minghui.
Overjoyed by the news, director Deng readily agreed.
When everyone was familiarized, director Deng had the crew prepare. He fired a starter pistol and lit incense, praying for a successful first day of filming.
Quite a few media reporters had arrived at the scene, with most of the camera lenses focused on Chu Yifei and Qiao Xiaren. Their popularity was something Huang Ningyue could not compare to.
The drama crew stood to the side, posing for photos for the media reporters while answering interview questions.
“Miss Qiao, how do you feel about working with Mr. Chu again?”
“Mr. Chu, how did you feel when Miss Qiao announced her relationship and received thousands of comfort messages from fans?”
It wasn’t until she stood in front of these two stars that Huang Ningyue felt the gap between them, causing her smile to inevitably fade a little.
The interviews were mainly aimed at getting firsthand information about the new drama, looking at more than just appearance.
After the interview, the first scene of Demon Flame was about to be filmed.
The first scene was of Qiao Xiaren dancing with a sword in the snow. Director Deng had arranged the scene well in advance. Dressed in red, Qiao Xiaren’s waist-length white hair would be scattered in the air with the snowflakes.
The backdrop was a snow-covered mountain, and she would be swinging her sword amidst the vast expanse of snow.
