One hundred million was invested into the movie <Zheng Xiong>. Most of the funds were used on producing the setting.
The project was approved by Gong Yun Ting. A property company under Gong conglomerate and Cheng Feng Movies used three years in Qing Hua city to rebuild a studio city, just to present the scenery of that era after an artistic reformation.
To maintain the mystery of the movie and the heat of its advertising, the actors shot everything under wraps. On the day of the opening ceremony, they also only invited the media T under Gong conglomerate for interviews and articles. Hence, Yan Xi didn’t receive any hard questions until they finished shooting. Everything went smoothly.
<Zheng Xiong>’s setting was two male leads. The two actors that played Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were people at the level of movie gods.
Liu Bang’s actor, Jiang Cheng Chou, had a good reputation of having guaranteed box office success. That was why after he turned thirty years old, he earned a movie god title for each movie he acted in. Hence, he had very high taste when picking scripts. He wouldn’t be hired easily with just high remuneration.
Xiang Yu’s actor was Wen Hang. He was the same, besides winning Huading Awards, TVB Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards and other kinds of awards as the movie god for five years continuously, he was also the youngest Chinese male celebrity who won the Cannes Movie Awards.
Yan Xi admired Gong Yun Ting very much. He could even squeeze her into such a strong lineup, not to mention her role, Yu Ji, also had a lot of scenes with these two movie gods.
After joining the movie crew of <Zheng Xiong>, this was the first time Yan Xi met Wen Hang.
This man had a firm, steady yet casual aura from the inside out. His expression was plain and sullen, but he looked composed and very manly. He was born with a movie star face. The moment when she met his eyes, she had the faint feeling of falling into stardom.
At that time, Yan Xi really felt that her heart had truly skipped two beats.
It was just a normal tone of voice. Wen Hang was simply greeting her, but he made Yan Xi feel an indescribable heart-throbbing moment, like seeing her first love.
“How can it be…” Yan Xi sneered at herself. She bowed towards Wen Hang politely, then said: “Senior, nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.”
After accepting a movie, he obviously needed to get to know the actors he was working with. Wen Hang had a simple understanding of Yan Xi, although it wasn’t shown on his face, Wen Hang seemed to be kind of surprised. He felt that this woman who was portraying serenity from within her bones was so polite and humble, which was different from what he understood about her.
During the shooting of <Zheng Xiong>, some photos of the shoot were also gradually published on the internet by the official website.
The director, Tian Jing Song was an honest man who spent his time diligently researching movies. From the start, it had been declared that hyping up the movie was disallowed. So <Zheng Xiong> did not spend money to buy notices or hire keyboard warriors. Its popularity on the internet was pure and real.
Everyone was amazed by the hue of the movie, the superb clothing, and the complex emotions that came from just a few photos of the shoot. They also had a heated discussion about the two movie gods who acted as the two male leads.
The popularity lasted for a long time.
At first, Yan Xi was always criticized and berated on the internet all the time, but ever since <Zheng Xiong>’s poster was released and the few photos that included her in the shoot were gradually released, the comments on the internet slowly developed to another direction although malicious comments were still copious. No one knew if there was staff in the company who controlled the comments.
“Yan Xi should act in more historical roles. Truly a classic beauty!”
“I seem to finally understand Yan Xi’s appearance…”
Someone also said: “This b*tch is really incredible. Don’t know which gold lord she sleeps with this time, to be given such good resources, putting in two renowned movie gods to act with her.”
“I’m not watching if Yan Xi is in there, bye!”
“Did she bribe the top searches? Why did I see her everywhere! Disgusting!”
The movie gods’ fans naturally couldn’t be underestimated. Although most of them were saying: “I feel sorry for our movie god, why do they have to act with such a b*tch. I feel so wronged!”
“Such a big investment, but using Yan Xi to play Yu Ji. This will go down the drain.”
As for these news, Yan Xi didn’t see them at all. She didn’t mind. Since she began shooting <Qing Shi Ming Yue>, she only used her phone to receive calls and basically cut off all ties with the outside world. As for this news on the internet, as long as Yan Xi didn’t ask, no one would tell her as well. This seemed to become their tacit agreement.
On the day when Gong Yun Ting came to visit the shoot, it was in time for the s*xual scene.
Although they were using history as background, this wasn’t a science and education film. Since this was a movie, a commercial film which was also an artistic product, hence this was inevitable.
Today’s scene involved Xiang Yu who was played by Wen Hang and Yu Ji who was played by Yan Xi. Their affection had grown deep enough to look beautiful beyond the mist, yet it was also filled with am*rous tension – a bed scene.
