It wasn't just Yang Mi, many people in the industry noticed the initial effect that Su Yihuan's new drama had produced.
It felt like... they had underestimated him a bit.
As one of the cast members, Liu Tao, when she saw her three-year-old daughter who wasn't even in kindergarten yet, use a babyish voice to shout "Charmeleon, I choose you!",
she realized that she had truly underestimated Su Yihuan's new drama.
However, because the character she played, Auntie Huazi, only had one scene in the trailer.
Liu Tao's status in the industry remained unchanged.
It was Jia Jingwen, who played "Juzi", that brought the beautiful actress, who was in a semi-retired state, back into the public eye.
However... her role was also limited.
"You came to find me to play such a minor role?"
At home, the beautiful actress looked up at Su Yihuan with a resentful expression, her eyes fixed on him.
"Less is more. As long as you can leave a deep impression on the audience, there are many characters who only appear for a short time, but their presence is greater than the main characters."
Su Yihuan explained.
Well, like the young Qin Shi Huang who just worked a summer job but ended up being remembered by netizens for twenty years.
Jia Jingwen rolled her eyes silently and brought up another topic, "I don't care if it's popular or not. I'm at the age where I should get married..."
As she said this, Jia Jingwen secretly glanced at Su Yihuan twice.
Although she knew that this was highly unlikely.
This rascal, with an innocent smile, said:
"Then I'll be Jingwen Jie's lover?"
"Go die!"
Juzi Tianwang was instantly furious.

The release date for "Chinese Paladin 3" was set for June 28th.
Throughout June, the main cast, led by Hu Jing, was busy appearing on various variety shows and interview programs to increase their presence.
The company had high hopes for this drama, and Su Yihuan had put a lot of pressure on them.
On the other hand, besides updating his Weibo, Su Yihuan was quiet.
If this was a web novel author, he would have definitely become a eunuch (abandoned the story) by now.
He had no choice, he was busy with the game.
The original graphics of "Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen" were simply unacceptable to sell.
At least it needed to reach the quality of Ruby and Sapphire.
Do you think this is a TV drama?
It's actually an advertisement.
Su Yihuan even planned to see if he could create the game helmet like the one in "Sword Art Online" when they filmed the Kalos Arc.
...
...
Finally, with full-scale publicity, "Chinese Paladin 3" premiered three days earlier than "Pokémon: Kanto Edition."
It achieved an audience share of approximately 8%!
Although it didn't reach the 11% of the first season, in an era where the internet was becoming increasingly developed.
This viewership rating was something to be proud of.
After all, times had changed. If you really want to compare, why not compare it to the 40% viewership rating of "My Fair Princess" back then?
However, Su Yihuan remembered that the premiere ratings of "Chinese Paladin 3" in the previous life were even better.
Well, it was probably because he, Li Xiaoyao, didn't participate.
The first episode received a rating of 8.5 on the internet.
In fact, the current plot didn't have any major flaws. It was still the same problem – fans of the original work had difficulty accepting it.
【No, why is there still this pendant setting? Why are they still using the stuff they changed in the first season for the third season?】
【Damn, this Tang Xuejian is way too different from my childhood goddess! A whole plate face!】
【The poison man is already here, why wasn't this part in the game?】
【Do you know why they didn't make the second season after the first season and went straight to the third season? It's because you messed up Wang Xiaohu's character design in the first season!】
【I declare that I'm a Pokémon fan for ten years from now on. I support Su Yihuan in killing these remaking parties.】
【...】
Su Yihuan remained calm. Tang Ren, or the entire film and television industry in China, had been notorious for remaking original works.
He had been uncomfortable with the way these writers changed the plot in his previous life, but after seeing the ridiculous things that happened in the age of traffic (popularity).
Su Yihuan felt that remaking was just a minor issue.
Anyway, the protests from the original work fans were just a small voice, quickly drowned out by the majority of positive reviews.
However, many passersby and Su Yihuan's fans were waiting to see the joke unfold.
Three days later, would his self-written and self-directed drama, which sounded like a children's drama, be able to win?
If it was a drama he starred in, fans would be quite reassured.
"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", "Detective Di Renjie", "Chinese Paladin",...
Su Yihuan didn't shoot many dramas, but he hadn't had any flops.
But this was the first time he was both writing and directing.
And judging from the trailer, it seemed like Su Yihuan wasn't even the male lead.
Damn, fans said that you should just personally take the stage and act cool all the way to the end. It's more reliable than having a primary school student as the protagonist!
Seeing these comments, Su Yihuan suddenly understood why in the previous life, the Sword and Shield Arc, after Ash won the World Championship, the writers forced him to go offline.
There was no way. He was already invincible, and it's easy to collapse if you force the plot.
With Ash's strength at that time, except for the top champions and Legendary Pokémon, which NPC could beat him?
You can watch him dominate for one or two times, but after a few more times, the audience will get tired of it.
But if he loses, wouldn't his strength collapse?
Do you think this is why the Unova Arc in the original work was heavily criticized?
Isn't it because your Pikachu just fought the Legendary Pokémon Latias to a standstill, and then lost to a Level 5 Snivy?
Who else would you criticize if not him?
PS: The data is very average, but I hope you guys can comment more, just like watching a video. Compared to likes and coins, I care more about the comments. I hope it won't be so quiet.
