Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The popularity of yesterday had not subsided completely, and there were still many netizens gathered under Qing University’s Weibo, asking him to give an explanation.

Jun Shiling and the others were still trending.

Due to the fact that they had a huge fan base from the novel, every time the production team of “The Long Ballad” released news, it would be extremely popular. However, this time, everyone was busy watching the drama. The production team quietly posted a video of the official announcement on Weibo and was only discovered by the netizens half an hour later.

[ The front row will occupy the pit first. I’ll comment after I finish watching it. ]

[ Eh, why did they suddenly post a promotional video today? ]

[ It’s here, it’s here. I hope Xia Wanyuan isn’t too eye-catching. ]

“Hey, the production team of ‘The Long Ballad’ has released a promotional video. Let me take a look.” Su Mei ate the snacks and fruits that Xia Yu had brought from the manor and clicked on the video sent by the production team happily.

“F*ck!!! I knew my goddess was the most beautiful!!” Su Mei, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, suddenly jumped up and shook Xia Yu, who was listening to music with his headphones on. “Brother, look at our goddess!”

“What goddess?” Xia Yu turned around.

Xia Wanyuan! You’ve already entered the live broadcast industry for the goddess, and you’re still saying that you’re not her fan?” Su Mei looked at Xia Yu in disdain. Tsk, what’s there to be embarrassed about chasing a star?

Xia Yu took Su Mei’s phone and clicked on it.

Although the post-production schedule for “The Long Ballad” was a little tight, it was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort into it.

At the beginning of the video, a brush dipped in ink flew over from the sky in a bold and elegant manner. It danced in the hazy mist and gradually, mountains and rivers appeared on the screen.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of a flute, a light boat carrying a man with ink-black hair floated over from the depths of the mountain.

As the light boat floated past, it created layers of ripples. The birds, who were on the lake, was shocked. They flapped their wings and flew past. On the screen, ostentatious words appeared.

The Long Ballad

“The opening scene was really well done. Look at the back.” Su Mei couldn’t help but want Xia Yu to directly go to Xia Wanyuan’s part.

On the towering Qin Chen Mountain, the vegetation was lush and the mountains were clear and beautiful. A butterfly-shaped kite flew out from the corner of the mountain. The tinkling laughter of a young girl accompanied by the youth’s helpless and indulgent exhortations echoed in the mountain.

The scene changed. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the young Lin Xiao and Tian looked at each other and smiled innocently.

The world was in chaos and there were disputes in the pugilistic world. The Qingcheng Mountain of the past was in ruins. Lin Xiao walked the pugilistic world with his sword in hand, went to court, was humiliated, bullied, and misunderstood. However, he did not change the determined chivalry in his eyes.

Tian Ying Er had also gone from being an innocent and naive little sister in the beginning to becoming the gentle and lovely Madam Lin beside Lin Xiao in the end. Her initial feelings for Lin Xiao had not decreased, but there was less innocence and innocence in her eyes.

Halfway through the video, the image of Xia Wanyuan finally appeared. When they first met, it was the young man with starry eyes and the little princess who was unaware of the world. Her veil fell, and she was drop-dead gorgeous, but the shyness that she had when she looked at Lin Xiao was the most moving.

The dynasty had fallen, and the world had changed. In the extravagant hall, the dancer charismatically danced with her rainbow feather dress, making her look like a dream.

In the end, the young knight brought his little sister back to the forest to live in seclusion. The little princess, who he had caught a glimpse of under the light, returned to the familiar palace once again. However, this time, she was returning as the beloved concubine of the new dynasty.

Lin Xiao stood at the peak of the mountain with his little sister staring at him from behind. In the distant Imperial City, the royal concubine, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, was leaning on the railing and looking up at him with joy and sorrow in her eyes.

“How is it? Is Xia Wanyuan so beautiful that you can cry?” Su Mei took the phone and looked at Xia Wanyuan’s dance again.

“Nonsense,” Xia Yu scoffed.

“Hey, Xia Yu, you haven’t told me what your relationship with Jun Shiling is.” Su Mei suddenly thought of something. “You actually know Jun Shiling? He’s a legendary big shot. Can you get an autograph for me?”

“I don’t know him.” Xia Yu touched the tip of his nose unnaturally. “My family knows him. That day, Jun Shiling happened to pass by and brought me back.”

“Alright, that’s impressive. After all, you sat in the same car as Boss Jun.” After all, he was still a student. Su Mei easily believed Xia Yu’s words and never thought that Jun Shiling would pick him up on the way.

Although Su Mei was a straight man, his reaction reflected the attitude of most book fans.

In recent years, there had often been situations in China where novels were adapted into television dramas. However, most of the adaptations had failed. Either the casting was bad or the plot was watered down. In short, very few fans of the novel were satisfied.

Fans of the novel “The Long Ballad” received the news and clicked on the video without much expectations. However, they were attracted by the beautiful opening scene.

By the time the video ended, no one had recovered from the martial arts world in the video.

[ Why do I feel that it’s not bad? ]

[ I hope the drama is as good as the publicity video. ]

[ Are there very few film companies in the country who do such things? The post-production fee is ten million, and the eight million is used to make publicity films. Anyway, I’ve been cheated too many times, I don’t want to watch it. ]

[ I originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a burden, but it seems… ]

[ Be bold! Xia Wanyuan looks like an outstanding student, while Ruan Yingyu looks like a burden. ]

It was originally a joke between passersby, but now, it incurred the displeasure of Ruan Yingyu’s fans.

In the entertainment industry, there were disputes whenever there were fans, let alone two female celebrities in the same drama. Ruan Yingyu’s fans were eager to fight with Xia Wanyuan’s fans.

In the end, Ruan Yingyu’s fans had already prepared a complete set of combat information, but even after searching the entire internet, they still couldn’t find a single fan of Xia Wanyuan’s.

The only loyal fan of Xia Wanyuan, who was called “the grumpy little lion”, had been reported.

The farce in the entertainment industry had only added to the popularity of the production team. The publicity video posted by the production team of “The Long Ballad” had indeed caused a huge commotion.

Xia Wanyuan’s performance in the publicity film had truly surpassed everyone’s. Even the fans of the actors in the drama had to admit in their hearts that Xia Wanyuan could be said to be the highlight of this publicity film.

Due to the fact that Xia Wanyuan was too shy and moving that day, her alluring dance was the best in television dramas and films. Also, her lonely look after becoming the imperial concubine was full of stories.

On the famous D-Site, many video hosts edited Xia Wanyuan’s scenes separately, mixing them with the scenes in the popular male star’s drama.

In less than half a minute, Xia Wanyuan had used three shots to film all the male celebrities in the film industry. The video directors displayed all sorts of talents and edited Xia Wanyuan’s three shots into tens of thousands of different videos.

In just thirty seconds, Xia Wanyuan had swept through D-Site.

Within two days, eight of the ten videos reviewed by the video reviewers at Station D were related to Xia Wanyuan. It was said that on the night of the audit, the dreams of the Heavenly Spirit Princess were filled with shy smiles.
