The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

In the first rays of dawn, Ying Ni arrived quietly in Hengdian. This legendary film and television base, illuminated by the morning light, seemed shrouded in a mysterious aura, waiting for her to unveil its veil.

She strolled through the bustling crowds of tourists, along a cobblestone path, into a street steeped in ancient charm. Lining the street were a patchwork of antique buildings, exquisite carvings, and soaring eaves, creating a sense of transport back in time, transported back to an ancient era. Ying Ni slowed her pace, immersing herself in the rich history and fragrance of culture.

Sunlight shone obliquely on the ancient Xianyang Palace, casting a golden veil over this palace, steeped in history. Ying Ni walked slowly through the palace gates, her eyes gleaming with endless curiosity and admiration for this land.

Inside the palace gates lay a vast plaza stretching as far as the eye could see. On either side, neatly arranged sculptures stood silently, yet they seemed to evoke a tale of the wars of a thousand years ago. Ying Ni gently stroked the stone pillar beside her, the coolness of her fingertips bringing a wave of emotion. This was once the place where so many heroes had shed their blood.

As she walked deeper, Ying Ni arrived at the core of the palace. Towering palaces lay scattered before her, their glazed tiles gleaming in the sun, their resplendent decorations a testament to their former splendor and glory. She slowly walked between the palaces, feeling the solemnity and awe that transcended time and space.

Entering the main hall, Ying Ni was deeply moved by the scene before her. High-hanging palace lanterns illuminated the entire hall. Ornate screens were embroidered with exquisite patterns, every inch revealing the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen. In the center of the hall stood a massive dragon throne, carved with lifelike dragons, a symbol of supreme imperial power. Standing quietly before the throne, Ying Ni seemed to hear the ringing of bells and drums as ancient emperors ascended the throne, and felt the aura of a king dominating the world.

During her visit, Ying Li often stopped to carefully observe every detail. She knew that this was more than just a simple tour, but also a dialogue with history and a spiritual cleansing. Here, she seemed to be able to touch the pulse of that glorious history and feel the cultural heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years.

As the setting sun bathed the Xianyang Palace, Ying Ni reluctantly left. Looking back, the palace, shone against the backdrop of the setting sun, seemed even more majestic and mysterious. Her heart was filled with love and admiration for this land. She knew this visit would become an unforgettable experience, forever etched in her memory.

Continuing her exploration, she arrived at a bustling market. Here, a dazzling array of food stalls and handicraft shops was a feast for the eyes. Ying Ni weaved among the crowds, savoring a variety of authentic delicacies, admiring the dazzling array of handicrafts, and soaking up the vibrant life of the city.

Ying Ni checked into a luxury hotel in Hengdian and contacted the Hengdian representative, informing them of her plans to visit the film set the next day. After hanging up, she researched the crew information provided by the representative and noticed that one was facing financial difficulties. Intrigued, she immediately called an acquaintance at the Radio, Film, and Television Bureau to learn more about the crew's situation.

The crew's director, Xia, graduated from the prestigious Beijing Film Academy's Directing Department, possessing a solid foundation in both professional and theoretical knowledge. Xia demonstrated exceptional talent during his student days, winning numerous awards, including the College Student Film Award, a testament to his talent and dedication to the film industry. Last year, Xia's art film caused a sensation in the industry, winning not only audiences but also many recognitions, surpassing many of his predecessors, earning widespread recognition and acclaim.

Director Xia is currently directing a historical drama starring the legendary Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. Set against the backdrop of the Qin Shi Huang's life, the drama delves deeply into the inner world and legendary story of this historical figure. Due to Director Xia's award-winning record and outstanding performance in the industry, many investors were eager to invest in the drama, confident that his skill and talent would yield lucrative returns.

However, Director Xia, driven by his unwavering commitment to artistic quality and his unwavering dedication to his work, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the financiers' forced insertion of non-professionals. He believed this practice would severely compromise the quality and artistic level of the series, and he firmly opposed it. Due to Director Xia's insistence, some investors who had originally intended to invest ultimately withdrew their funds, creating certain difficulties and challenges for the crew. Despite this, Director Xia remained steadfast in his principles, diligently seeking alternative funding options to ensure the smooth completion of filming for this historical drama.

Ying Ni felt that this person met her standards very well, but she would only be able to truly understand his background after meeting him tomorrow.

As sunlight streamed down the bluestone pavement of Hengdian World Studios, Ying Li, accompanied by a Hengdian representative, embarked on a fascinating journey exploring the various film crews. Along the way, the juxtaposition of ancient architecture and modern filming equipment created a sense of transport through time.

Their first stop was a costume drama set, where actors in gorgeous costumes were rehearsing intensely, the director's whistle blew repeatedly, and the photographer's camera captured every wonderful moment.

The group then moved to a filming location for a modern drama. Here, a bustling urban backdrop was constructed, complete with skyscrapers and flashing neon lights, reminiscent of a modern city. Ying Li looked around curiously, observing how the director, through the lens, would tell a story set in a modern city. She couldn't help but marvel at the versatility and magic of Hengdian World Studios, its ability to instantly transport people into different worlds.

Led by the production manager, Ying Meng also visited the special effects and animation crews. Here, she saw how the production staff used high-tech techniques to create stunning visual effects. From realistic explosions to the dreamlike animated world, every detail embodied the production staff's wisdom and dedication.

Finally, Ying Ni followed the director to the last crew, Director Xia's crew. Ying Ni didn't intend to interrupt, so she and the director briefly wandered around the crew.

After a tour, Yingli realized the incredible amount of effort the crew had put into producing this production. The costumes were almost entirely adapted from the Qin Dynasty style, especially the dragon robe worn by the First Emperor, which was a near-perfect, one-to-one replica. The cast also chose talented actors, avoiding the use of so-called "traffic stars." The atmosphere on set was positive, and despite occasional funding shortages, no one was absent without reason.

"I would like to have a conversation with Director Xia. I wonder if you could introduce him to me?" Ying Li felt very satisfied and made a request to the person in charge.
