In July, the crew of "The Young Master", after a period of auditions, all other actors have been confirmed.

In addition to the previously confirmed Ye Fan, Wu Jing and others, Du Yuming still plays the role of King Xiaoyao.

Wu Yue plays Zhang Qiqiao (Duo Po), one of the three disciples of King Xiaoyao, who is good at telepathy.

The original actor for this role was Lao Niu, but this time Ye Fanzhen didn't intervene. It can only be said that he was not chosen because of his fate.

They are all students of Chinese opera. Wu Yue has a great advantage because he knows kung fu, and his image is not bad. He is also good at literary and opera, so it is natural for him to be chosen.

Moreover, the protagonist of Wang Xinmin's "The Secret of the City" is Wu Yue. I can only say that the two of them confirmed their eyes and Wu Yue is the right person!

Cheng Hao, another future star rated 97 in Chinese dramas, plays Yin Susu, which Ye Fan did not expect, but her appearance is indeed suitable.

In this way, the two best students from the 97th class were selected, and they were cast in big productions and casts as soon as they debuted. They were extremely lucky!

Ji Chunhua plays Ben Lei, one of the three disciples of King Xiaoyao. He happens to be bald, and with his appearance, there is no other role suitable for him except a villain.

With the addition of Zhang Chunzhong, who plays Tai Xuzi, as the villain, this drama can be said to be a large gathering of villains, allowing Wu Jing to fight him all at once!

Yu Hai plays Chengkong, the same character originally played by Zhang Tielin.

Song Yuanqiao is still played by Cao Jun, Yu Chenghui plays Yi Yun, Wang Qun plays Zhang's father, Hu Ge plays the young Zhang Junbao, Gao Yuanyuan plays the young Guo Xiang, and the actors for other roles have their own choices.

When Ye Fan saw the cast, he felt that the leading actors in the new version of "Shao San" were really good-looking.

Needless to say, Ye Fan’s appearance is responsible for his appearance in “Shao San”!

Wu Jing is also a newbie at this time, otherwise Xie Nan would not be fascinated by him after "Tai Chi Master" is broadcast.

Coupled with Shuang Bing, Hu Jing, Cheng Hao, Li Xiaoran and Gao Yuanyuan, the appearance of the leading actors in the new "Shao San" can be said to be one of the TV series with the ceiling of appearance in mainland China!

And when these people become famous in the future, the new "Shao San" will be another TV series that can be made a god. Thinking of this, Ye Fan feels happy!

Um...not necessarily, provided that nothing happens to a certain fan, otherwise this drama is likely to be taken off the shelves...

At this time, Ye Fan had not yet taken a vacation, so he had to join the cast of "The Young Master" later. Fortunately, the shooting time of "Infernal Affairs" was longer, so his role could be postponed.

"Little Three" will be launched on July 5th, and Ye Fan has to go off during the launch ceremony. During this time, he still needs to record songs and hide from reporters.

Because with the spread of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Candlelight", Ye Fan's fame across the country has skyrocketed!

The two biggest news in China right now are Ye Fan’s book and new song, and the other is that there is a flood in the Yangtze River Basin, and the Yamen will start flood control and disaster relief!

If Ye Fan hadn't had a back-up plan, how could he have let himself appear at the forefront of the storm at this time? He wouldn't even have time to hide!

Reporters from the media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered in Beijing on July 1st to interview Ye Fan to learn more about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Light Chaser".

But Ye Fan didn't give them a chance. They were either in school or in the recording studio. The security was tight, leaving these reporters helpless!

But this does not prevent them from continuing to report on "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Candlelight":

"Entertainment News": [The first time I watched "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", I was simply indescribably amazed. The only emotion in my heart was: 'It turns out that our local adventure novels can also be written like this.' Ye Fan is regarded as a pioneer in the field of domestic adventure literature. What a waste! The writing pattern of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is very large, including everything from heaven to earth, sand exploration and sea exploration...]

"Beijing Daily": [Discover the seal of the mound, touch the golden talisman, move mountains and mountains to find the dragon's secret; people light candles, ghosts blow out lanterns, survey and fight upside down to find star peaks... tomb robbing factions, rivers and lakes legends, reasoning, suspense, mystery, Adventure, archeology...Ye Fan takes you to uncover the strange and mysterious phenomena!】

"Yangcheng Evening News": [The pioneering work of tomb robbing novels - "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Ye Fan's milestone work! The storyline of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" is interlocking, the novel has a reasonable logical structure, rich character settings, fascinating plot, and content The richness is very visual, and people can’t help but follow "Hu Bayi" on his adventures...]

"Ming Pao": [Jin Yong: "The writing of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is so weird! It's so suspenseful! It's full of indescribable imagination! This book seems to have opened a magnificent road in front of me! Ye Fan told me It turns out that novels can still be written like this!”]

"Taiwan Province The joys and sorrows of the reader. The logical foundation that supports this worldview is the mysterious and relatively self-consistent theoretical system of Feng Shui...]

…

It can be said that in addition to the flood of news, most media across the country are discussing this novel.

This made the name of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" popular to a higher level,

Seeing the description of Hu Bayi's experience in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" struck a chord with some leaders of the "Beijing Daily". It also reminded them of their own experience of going to the countryside to become educated youths. It was a pity that Hu Bayi's experience was not there. So wonderful.

Of course, there are those who praise "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and those who question the novel.

"It's a Bad Weekend": [Is Ye Fan really the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"? This novel is all-encompassing and not only requires a lot of knowledge, but also requires an understanding of anecdotes and folklore from various places. 】

[And there are so many places described in the book. Everyone knows Ye Fan’s itinerary in the past few years. Has he been to these places? If he has not been, how did he write it down? 】

[In addition, Ye Fan was born in the 1980s and is only 18 years old. He has not experienced that era, so how can he describe the atmosphere in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and the dialogue full of the sense of the times? 】

Some media in Hong Kong also have similar doubts, because the content written in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not like what an 18-year-old could write.

They had this doubt because "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was written so well that it caused a greater sensation in Hong Kong than in the mainland.

Not only did Jin Yong appreciate "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" very much, some other well-known writers in Hong Kong also praised it full of praise.

Even those who were unhappy with Ye Fan did not say that the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was not good, they only said that it was unreasonable for Ye Fan to write this novel.

As we all know, Hong Kong Island is more culturally diverse and open, and people like these suspenseful, thriller and adventure novels more.

Otherwise, horror-themed movies such as Uncle Ying and Zombies and ghost movies would not be so popular on Hong Kong Island. Many thrillers, suspense and adventure novels are also very popular there!

It can be said that Hong Kong Island writers and screenwriters are at the forefront of the country in terms of writing novels of this type of story. After all, Hong Kong Island has the best creative environment in the country.

Otherwise, many novelists in Wanwan would not go to Hong Kong Island to develop their careers. Hong Kong Island does have a high degree of creative freedom, and there is no influence from the power of "magic classics"!

But such a novel that can be said to be a god in one book was actually written by Ye Fan, a mainlander?

Moreover, the content in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is too much that does not meet the knowledge that Ye Fan should have at his age. Coupled with other reasons and self-esteem, they will naturally question it.

Some media and newspapers in Taiwan even interviewed some archeology professors at National Taiwan University, asked them about their opinions on "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and then reported on the questionable content:

[There are many contents in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that are inconsistent with the actual archaeological situation. For example, the protagonist in the book passes cultural relics hand to hand? Be cautious when counting cultural relics!]

[People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps? That’s because the oxygen concentration is not enough! Archeology = tomb robbing? The fragments of the clay pots must be carefully removed]

[The real archaeological excavation process has a very rigorous work process, and there will be no destructive digging and excavation of cultural relics like the one described in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". 】

[The methods of archeology are stratigraphy and typology, while tomb robbing mainly involves digging holes! Archeology pays more attention to the phenomenon of relics rather than the relics themselves. Tomb robbing will destroy everything except what can be taken away.]

[Did Ye Fan write this novel to teach people to rob tombs? This will make people more prejudiced against the archeology industry and people! Many archaeological experts hope to ban "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!]

em... From some aspects, these media's doubts about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are not unreasonable. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not a perfect novel, and Ye Fan's youth is indeed a big flaw.

However, sometimes people’s thoughts and emotions cannot be persuaded by a lot of reasoning, especially for those who like this book and Ye Fan’s fans!

Some people just want to read a book and don't care who wrote it, as long as they enjoy reading it and the novel is not a eunuch.

Some people eat melon while reading, which makes their spiritual needs more satisfied. It really doesn’t delay either aspect!

Readers who don't like Ye Fan or only like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" but are more serious readers will naturally be affected by these doubts and also put forward their own opinions.

But those who like and support Ye Fan are not so easy to talk to. They have launched counterattacks to refute these doubts. The one who argued with the doubters was very happy!

Generally speaking, those who support Ye Fan have the upper hand. After all, before "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" came out, there were no well-known tomb-robbing novels in the domestic market!

Not to mention that there is no tomb-robbing adventure novel that can compare with the quality of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!

And with the clamor, many people understood why Ye Fan was so strict about the confidentiality of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", probably because of this situation!

Ye Fan never came forward to respond to these questions, not only because he was busy, but also because he was too lazy to respond.

If Ye Fan really wants to respond to these clowns, he will only do what they want and help them increase newspaper sales and ratings!

Maybe some of these people really have doubts, but more people are jealous of him and have other motives at work!

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was published in 1998. This novel could only have been written by Ye Fan. Who else but him could have brought such a big shock to the world these days?

And they have no evidence at all to say that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was not written by him. Was Ye Fan's previous foundation and reputation built in vain? These doubts have no impact on him at all.

But Ye Fan didn't respond, but someone responded for him!

At Huayi Publishing House, Jin Lihong, Zhang Yang and other senior publishing house officials all stood up to speak for Ye Fan.

They said that Ye Fan had the idea of ​​writing a tomb-robbing adventure novel as early as 1996, and had been collecting information to prepare for writing a book.

Moreover, they have worked in publishing houses for so many years and have never seen similar novels on the market, which refutes the claim that Ye Fan is not the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Ye Fan's neighbors, the uncles and aunts in the courtyard alley, were also very honored to be featured in newspapers and TV.

They said that Ye Fan often asked them about their experiences in that era, the content of their chats, the way they spoke, etc., which proved that Ye Fan had a relatively good understanding of things of that era.

The most important thing is that Yan Da also came out to endorse Ye Fan. Of course, they may be doing it more to gain Ye Fan's popularity.

Yanda issued a statement saying that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" written by Ye Fan used professional materials from the Department of Archeology of Yanda, and he wrote this work with the help of teachers from the Department of Archeology of Yanda!

Yanda's reputation is not built on stone, and their statement suppressed most of the doubts.

Of course, Yanda and its Department of Archeology also became famous with the help of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", becoming the number one archeology major in most people's minds!

Although the archeology major is originally ranked number one, this does not prevent Yanda from using this opportunity to gain a greater reputation. After all, this is more beneficial to their enrollment and funding applications!

Although the doubts were suppressed by Yanda's statement, more people were curious about why Yanda suddenly stood up to endorse Ye Fan.

After the reporter's in-depth digging, people found out that Ye Fan's aunt and uncle were both teachers in the Department of Archeology at Yanda.

Moreover, the archaeological routes they have taken over the years and the ancient tombs they have excavated are indeed consistent with many of the contents of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

So I really want to fully understand that Ye Fan is indeed the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!

Now those doubts have completely disappeared. Those who want to target Ye Fan can only swallow this bitter pill unwillingly and watch "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" becoming more and more popular!

Compared to the controversy and doubts surrounding "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Candlelight" had a much better life in the music world.

Before "Candlelight" came out, Ye Fan said that he wanted to create a new style of song. He received superficial praise and expectations from many people, but in fact not many people took his words to heart.

This is not usually the case in the industry. Musicians say that they only praise and promote each other's business, and no one really takes it seriously.
