"Cut!"

As Shi Peihua's voice rang out.

The little girl with a smile on her face immediately reverted to her original expression, looking at Shi Peihua with some nervousness.

"Pass," Shi Peihua said with a smile to the little actress playing the childhood Lu Yuan.

Although she scolded anyone she caught on the set, she also differentiated people. At least, she was definitely patient with this kind of six or seven-year-old little girl.

Moreover, the child really acted well.

"The entire 'Ancient Love Song' is officially wrapped up."

After Shi Peihua said this, everyone on the set cheered collectively.

In three months, the viewership rating of this drama has grown from 1.38% to the present, and now it has finally wrapped up. Now, they just have to wait for the next two weeks for the broadcast of this drama to end.

But after the cheers, many people inexplicably felt a sense of emotion, a little sadness and reluctance. Many young employees who had just entered the film and television industry through 'Ancient Love Song' even had slightly red eyes.

"Don't be so sentimental," Xiaoqi Yumei, as the producer, shouted with an electric megaphone at this time.

"I have already explained the situation to everyone. The filming of 'Ancient Love Song' has ended, but the filming of the new drama 'To the Moon' will officially start tomorrow. The completion celebration banquet for 'Ancient Love Song' tonight, the time and location have been sent to everyone. If there are no important matters, please attend on time, but please be careful not to drink too much and delay the start-up of 'To the Moon' tomorrow."

A truly seamless connection.

The 'Ancient Love Song' crew not only directly transformed into the 'To the Moon' crew, but also recruited many senior members of the industry to join the group.

"Got it."

"Producer Xiaoqi, don't worry, we will never let you down."

"Understood, everyone will not return until drunk tonight."

The dismantling of some props and venues for the crew still needed time, but Su Yan and Shi Peihua, Gu Qingyuan were called to the office by Xiaoqi Yumei in advance.

"Su Yan, you and Gu Qingyuan should know the roles you will be playing in 'To the Moon'. They are the characters that appear at the beginning of the story."

"Dr. Shen Yi (Eva) and Dr. Cheng Li (Neil)," Xiaoqi Yumei said.

"You two have accumulated a large number of fans through 'Ancient Love Song' and 'Rurouni Kenshin'. Participating in these two roles can at least give 'To the Moon' a certain amount of fan attention in the first few episodes before it airs. Moreover, the cast of 'To the Moon' has not yet been determined, but the filming cycle for the first episode is very tight, less than three weeks."

"Tomorrow, you two will film the scenes for 'To the Moon' first. This afternoon, we will go together to audition for the elderly part of Xu Han (Johnny), the real male lead of 'To the Moon'."

"I have found several male movie stars who have retired but were once very famous to audition for the elderly Xu Han. Their participation can also attract a large number of middle-aged drama fans. Su Yan, you can help to check them out then."

"As for the audition for the young Xu Han and the childhood Xu Han, as well as the elderly Xiao Xi, the young Xiao Xi, and the childhood Xiao Xi, because their appearances are later, I have arranged them for next week's audition."

Xiaoqi Yumei's diary was densely filled with the filming schedule for the 'To the Moon' crew, and she was modifying and marking it as she spoke.

"Got it," Su Yan nodded and said.

Because the background of 'To the Moon' is set in Xia Country, Su Yan also made some modifications to the names of the characters in the original work.

The drama 'To the Moon' actually tells the story of two neuro-brain doctors who work for a special company. Their business is to fulfill the last wishes of those who are dying but have not completely died.

What does that mean? It means that the two doctors will use instruments to dive into the dying target's memory, understand his innermost desires, and then construct a dream that only exists in the target's dying brain to fulfill his last wishes based on these desires.

For example, if you want to be an emperor, then let you be an emperor in your dream before you die. If you want to see your parents again, then let you reunite with your deceased parents in your dream. If you want to go to the moon... then let you really realize the dream of going to the moon in your dream.

The role of these two doctors in the story is actually similar to that of commentators, helping the audience understand the worldview.

Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan played them, and their roles were just right.

And the real protagonists of this drama are an old man named Xu Han, who has a dying wish to go to the moon, and his deceased wife, Xiao Xi.

The plot of the entire drama revolves around these two doctors exploring his dreams in order to find out why Xu Han would have the dream of going to the moon.

Why would he have this impossible dream of going to the moon?

Why would he forget this wish that is more important than his life?

What is the significance of this wish to him?

Only by knowing these things can they create a real, dreamlike reality that the employer will never recognize to fulfill his wish.

When these answers are finally revealed, it is when the most extreme healing and emotional emotions of this work are born.

For Su Yan, the first time he played the game to the end in his previous life, his tears blurred the computer screen, making him unable to see the picture clearly.

After knowing the significance of why the male protagonist would have the wish to go to the moon.

This story will never fade in his memory.

There are not too many participating roles in this drama, but there are many scenes involved, and some scenes have to send another team to find real scenes for filming.

And some props need to be customized.

For example, the important scene in the play, the seaside lighthouse, needs to find a real scene.

Because it is winter now, the classic scene of childhood Xu Han and childhood Xiao Xi looking at the starry sky and the moon counting stars may need to be made with computer effects.

The arrangement of the classic game song "To Xiao Xi" in "To the Moon".

Important rabbit doll props.

Su Yan couldn't leave everything to Xiaoqi Yumei, and he had to participate deeply in it himself.

After the filming of "Ancient Love Song" ended, Su Yan and Xiaoqi Yumei put most of their energy on "To the Moon".

But for the drama fans of Xia Country, this autumn season has not ended.

Nearing Sunday.

The comment area of "Ancient Love Song" on Sakura.com became popular again from the daytime.

When a drama becomes popular, there are all kinds of people, discussing the plot, discussing the CP of Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

There are also analyses of the various unreasonable points in the plot of the drama "Ancient Love Song".

In fact, looking at the drama "Ancient Love Song", it has many shortcomings.

For example, the power struggles and war plots inside are very general. A careful analysis will reveal that they cannot withstand scrutiny. Modern screenwriters writing ancient power struggles and wars will definitely have various loopholes.

Including the drama fans of Xia Country, they also know this well.

But the reason why "Ancient Love Song" is so popular in both its previous life and Xia Country.

Is because its advantages are too prominent compared to its disadvantages.

Including when Su Yan watched "Ancient Love Song" in his previous life, he felt that many plots were too absurd.

But when the plot turns to the emotional entanglement between Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan, you will find that those things don't matter.

They are just a worldview setting. You accept them and then use your heart to experience the emotional entanglement between Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan. That is the best way to watch this drama.

In the evening, the twelfth episode of "The Lone Doctor" ended.

The drama viewers of Xia Country quickly changed the channel and turned the screen to Sakura TV.

Shi Linghua was browsing the mobile phone forum at night, waiting for the premiere of the thirteenth episode of "Ancient Love Song".

Finally, after midnight.

The theme song sounded.

The plot continues from last week.

Shen Buyan knows that there will be no result between him and Lu Yuan.

He imagines that if Lu Yuan had not fallen in love with him, perhaps he could have changed his fate.

Even after the 18-year-old Lu Yuan fell in love with him, he had to leave.

Because he knows, he cannot accompany Lu Yuan for a lifetime.

He will eventually leave, leaving Lu Yuan alone to struggle in this era.

His first crossing was saved by the 36-year-old Lu Yuan, which led to Lu Yuan's death.

His second crossing died in the arms of the 26-year-old Lu Yuan.

His third crossing clearly told the 21-year-old Lu Yuan that he would enter the palace with her and fight against Li Yong together, but as a result, he was helplessly recalled to modern times.

And now, he doesn't know how to face the 18-year-old Lu Yuan's feelings for him.

【Leave early, there will be no pain when separating.】

【But you haven't even tried, how can you know that the result is painful?】 Lu Yuan asked.

【You don't understand.】 Shen Buyan's expression was sad.

The opening was only two minutes of plot, and Shi Linghua couldn't stand it anymore.

Because the 21-year-old Lu Yuan told Shen Buyan that she didn't want Shen Buyan to tell her when she would die in the future, when she would see Shen Buyan for the last time. That would make the future too boring, so Shen Buyan simply couldn't tell her everything here.

But precisely, this time crossing, Shen Buyan, who loved Lu Yuan the most and was most afraid of her being hurt by his departure again, met the 18-year-old Lu Yuan who dared to love and hate and didn't care about anything and fell in love with him.

Lu Yuan couldn't understand the metaphors in Shen Buyan's words, she was just boldly pursuing the first boy she liked in her life.

And Shen Buyan, just looked at the girl in front of him pleading with him not to leave with a sad face.

He finally stayed.

He pawned the jade pendant that he brought back from modern times, which allowed him to cross to this era, and used the money he got to buy a harp for Lu Yuan.

But the next day.

Lu Yuan, who came to the market, saw Shen Buyan's cherished jade pendant there in the pawnshop, and immediately understood where her harp came from.

She sold all her jewelry and exchanged the money to redeem the jade pendant.

The plot structure of this section is actually the same as Su Yan's previous life's classic literary short story "The Gift of the Magi".

The husband sells his treasured gold watch to buy his wife an expensive comb, and the wife sells her long hair to buy her husband a watch chain.

The first time Shi Linghua saw this plot, the uncontrollable emotion surged into her heart again.
