Due to the richness of the storyline and the excellent production team, this drama undoubtedly became the biggest hit of the summer season, and even the whole year.
The casting of this drama’s actors includes almost all renowned performers known for their acting skills within the industry. Even the actor playing the second male lead, Qi Huan, is played by Chi Yue, who has previously won the Best Actor award.
He originally debuted as a star from an idol competition, and later transitioned to the film and television industry, receiving a large number of positive reviews for his acting. Despite playing the second male lead this time, he still garnered much attention.
His role, Qi Huan, was originally kind and upright, using all his efforts to help his brothers. However, he later discovered that he was planning to kill his father, the Emperor! He wanted to mediate between them but was cruelly framed by the Crown Prince!
The friendship line between Chu Feng and Qi Huan is also a major highlight, with netizens supporting their duo more than the main male and female leads.
The topics #HeartacheForQiHuan# and #QiHuanDon’tCry# have remained among the top trending topics, even when "Choked Love" had such high discussion levels, and some crazy fans attacked Lin Ji Yang, it still didn’t manage to push these two topics out of the top ten.
As "Chu Feng’s Story" approaches its conclusion, Chu Feng and the Commandery Princess experience love and hate but end up together, leaving Qi Huan alone, and ultimately being forced onto the throne.
This drama was adapted from a novel, where in the end, Qi Huan marries a Princess Consort Shu, whom he dotes on deeply!
This drama is being filmed and aired simultaneously, at the moment, it’s just aired the part where the Crown Prince designs a trap for Qi Huan, and netizens’ interest in Princess Consort Shu has surged suddenly.
This originally overlooked character, due to Qi Huan, has suddenly received attention, and many initially dismissive actresses have started vying for this role.
No one expected that Ada actually managed to get it for her?!
Ji Niandong flipped through the script and looked at it earnestly before confirming that this was not a dream!
"Sister Ada?" She didn’t know what to say, she finally just called out to Ada.
"This role only has two scenes because Qi Huan’s romantic plot is not the focus, and it’s nearing the finale, it’s just to give him a satisfying ending! I heard that in the book, Princess Consort Shu is described as a clean and intellectual beauty. When I sent your profile over, many people thought it was suitable, but many are competing for this role, I’ve exerted quite a bit of effort, you must show your talent, this role is a strong opening, afterward I will make sure you fully enter everyone’s view!"
Listening to Ada, Ji Niandong felt a sudden surge of unexplainable ambition and courage, she hugged the script to her chest and nodded forcefully, "Don’t worry, Sister Ada, I will definitely not let you down!"
Ada rarely smiled, "Come with me later to meet the director of this drama, although the role is secured, it’s still necessary to do a screen test, then let’s see how the director plans!"
"Okay, alright!" Ji Niandong nodded, filled with anticipation.
Since this drama is filmed and aired simultaneously, the director almost lives at the filming location. She followed Ada for quite a long time before arriving at the ancient city, a dedicated site for filming costume dramas.
Upon arrival, the director was confirming the setup of the filming location under the scorching sun.
Ada went over to greet him, after a long wait, the director finally came over, glanced at her sharply, and took them to an adjacent empty room.
Inside was already set up with a classical charm; ancient houses were spacious and cool, sitting inside made it feel a bit refreshing.
"Since you’re here, let’s directly get the costume ready! Chi Yue’s scenes are mostly completed, she should soon be joining the team to film opposite Chi Yue!"
The director spoke straightforwardly, Ada smiled, "No need to audition?"
"Why bother auditioning, the image is great, but I hope she has the spirit in her acting like Tong Lu!"
Tong Lu?! Ji Niandong jolted and looked straight at the director.
Asking the truth every day, I just want to say the truth is often more than one, don’t know which one you’re asking about, so I’ll retreat first!
