Chapter 188 The Martial Arts Trend Before Broadcasting

Lu Xuan decided to personally oversee the editing process.

He stationed himself with the post-production team every day, but fortunately, he wasn't the type to constantly stand behind people and give directions.

Therefore, even though he was constantly watching, he didn't make anyone feel too annoyed.

However, he couldn't just keep an eye on the post-production work.

The heat of *Xiuchun Dao 1* (绣春刀1, Brotherhood of Blades 1) was right there.

Everyone had high expectations for *Xiuchun Dao 1*.

But if they didn't make any noise to keep everyone interested, it was still very likely that everyone would forget about it.

With that in mind, Lu Xuan opened his Weibo page.

He organized some behind-the-scenes clips and stills from the filming.

Today was the first day.

He first posted a still of Lin Mofan, the male lead of *Xiuchun Dao 1*.

One of them was Lin Mofan wearing a *feiyufu* (飞鱼服, flying fish robe).

Just standing there, his posture was straight and tall.

Although he didn't say a word, he was full of charm.

His eyes were sharp, especially in one photo where Lin Mofan was suspended in the air by wires, slashing and fighting.

The moment this set of photos was released, everyone was amazed.

"I've finally seen a real ancient costume beauty! Such a tough face, it makes my blood boil just looking at it!"

"Husband! Look at me!"

"Shut up, he's my husband!"

"Please, some people, stop always passing the buck to us viewers. Look at what Lin Mofan has filmed, we all praise him for being handsome!"

"You're wrong about that. No matter what, Lin Mofan is still a talented actor. When the behind-the-scenes footage was released, he had to reshoot a scene for even a small flaw."

"If you have the ability to post stills, then release the movie!"

"When can we finally see it?!"

"It's still early. They just finished filming this movie. Even if post-production is fast, it still has to go through reviews and stuff. It'll take at least a year and a half."

For everyone, the anticipation for this movie had already reached its peak.

They couldn't wait to see it.

However, what *Xiuchun Dao 1* needed most right now was time.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan had the foresight.

When he was filming, he specifically arranged for several staff members to be responsible for shooting behind-the-scenes footage.

Including stills.

The next day, he naturally posted Su Yao's.

Su Yao's look was completely different from before.

Her equally heroic appearance made everyone feel that even women could have a heroic and valiant beauty.

Sharp eyes staring straight at the camera.

The people who saw this photo instantly held their breath.

"I feel like the goddess is looking at me!"

"Goddess is so beautiful!"

"This outfit is so pretty, I want to wear it!"

"I didn't expect Su Yao to look so good in this kind of outfit. I always thought she was only suitable for playing fairies."

"I seriously suspect that Lu Xuan has a lot of photos in his hands, and he's deliberately releasing them slowly."

"Why don't you just release them all at once? You're just teasing us by releasing a few photos every day!"

"What should I do? I've been looking at the photos for more than two hours, constantly thinking about one question: how can my wife be so beautiful!"

"Aren't you afraid that Lu Xuan will come and chop you with a knife?"

"I don't want to break them up, I just want to join their family."

"Yeah, yeah, I want to sleep in the middle of them!"

"..."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw everyone's comments.

After posting stills for a week, Lu Xuan decided to show everyone two behind-the-scenes clips.

The kind with videos.

*Xiuchun Dao 1* hadn't even been released yet, but it managed to stay on the trending searches every day.

And this trending search wasn't even bought by Lu Xuan.

It was automatically boosted by fans.

Because of the pure martial arts style of *Xiuchun Dao 1*.

It quickly pulled in some people who didn't usually post comments online or even pay attention to these platforms.

They didn't care about so much.

Whoever dared to say that the martial arts style they wanted to see was no good!

The people who hired trolls never expected that.

They just wanted to smear Lu Xuan and *Xiuchun Dao 1*, but instead helped Lu Xuan attract a large group of middle-aged men with money, power, and social status.

They had grown up watching martial arts dramas and fantasy novels.

But as they got older.

They got married, had children, and had their own families.

Their old dreams were buried deep in their hearts.

They didn't dare to express them in front of outsiders.

But now, Lu Xuan gave them a chance.

A chance to burst out.

To be precise, what they were supporting wasn't entirely this movie and Lu Xuan.

But the younger selves they once were.

Lu Xuan understood why everyone was so enthusiastic when he saw them.

In recent years, there had been too few real martial arts movies.

The appearance of his *Xiuchun Dao 1* could only be said to be a combination of luck, timing, and opportunity.

It just happened to coincide with the time when everyone's expectations were at their lowest.

Now that *Xiuchun Dao 1* was popular before it was even released, Lu Xuan felt a little pressure.

The editing had to be sped up.

It also had to be sent for review.

He wanted to release it as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, he had already asked, as long as he finished editing this movie.

It would be no problem to release it within three months.

And with Li Wenyao's help, the work of contacting major cinemas for filming had already entered the preparation stage.

Now, he decided to do something else, which was to write *Xiuchun Dao 2*.

He wanted to write the script for this movie in more detail.

"Are you writing a script again?"

Su Yao walked over, holding a plate of sandwiches in her hand.

She wanted to lose weight recently.

Lu Xuan had been very busy these past few days.

She hadn't bothered him either.

She originally thought that Lu Xuan wasn't watching the post-editing today.

He might be done.

She came to find Lu Xuan, only to find that he was actually writing a script.

"Yeah, I'm writing the second part of *Xiuchun Dao*."

"There's even a second part!"

Su Yao said excitedly, "Then let's film it together!"

"How about we film a couple together?"

Lu Xuan smiled dotingly.

"What? Being a couple with me in real life isn't enough, you want to contract me in the movie too?"

"Well, you're the one writing the script anyway..."

Lu Xuan agreed without hesitation.

He could never refuse Su Yao on this matter.

"However, there will be more fight scenes in the second part, so let's exercise together these days."

Hearing Lu Xuan say this, Su Yao reluctantly pouted and said, "Okay! I promise you."

She didn't really like sports, but who told Lu Xuan to say it!

"Looks like I need to start training too."

"Why?"

"There are a lot of martial arts moves in the second part, especially for my character, and there are many dangerous moves."

Lu Xuan had Su Yao stand beside him while he trained in front of her every day.
