Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star 247 Chapter 247. Character Photos 1

Chapter 247. Character photos (1)

Hou Qian was one of the oldest heavenly kings in the entertainment industry. He had ascended the throne of the heavenly king 7 years ago.

After that, he had gained millions of fans.

His fans were mainly females at first but after doing some action and thrillers, he gained some hot blooded male fans.

Especially his role in the movie «Gangster saga» where he played the role of a cop whose duty was to protect the people from the increasing amount of gangsters in the city.

He gained ma.s.sive popularity because of his role in it.

Hou Qian's male fans increased a lot after that. One of those fans was Zhang Xiaohua.

He was one of the male fans of Hou Qian and a hardcore one too but he was distressed for many months now.

It was because Hou Qian was on a break and there was no announcement of his upcoming project.

He was not even active on social media and the last message on his account was that he will soon come back with a new project.

But there was nothing like that until now.

It was because Director Chen Pu wanted to announce it with a bang. So, there was a lot of mystery going around «Slayers».

There were rumours about it but they were not from certified sites. So, everyone was sceptical about it.

"Huh? What's this?"

On a random day, Zhang Xiaohua was randomly scrolling through social media when he suddenly got a certain notification. 

It was from the social media account of Hou Qian. 

He quickly clicked on it and then, he was directed to the social media account of Hou Qian. There were some words written there in bold.

{The ultimate battle for the throne now begins. Amidst bloodshed and betrayals, how will the main character reach the top?

There was a link attached to the post and Zhang Xiaohua immediately clicked on it. 

He was then directed to the official website of «Slayers». 

The character posters and promotional video was on display there and the number of views were already more than 5 million.

"Hou Qian and Tang Lan new drama «Slayers»!!! It's finally here!!"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't waste his time and forwarded this post. 

Within an hour, the character posters and the promotional video post had already been forwarded more than hundred thousand times.

The more and more people had seen this website, the more and more people were forwarding it.

In just a short half an hour, the number of forwards surpa.s.sed one hundred thousand, while the number of likes broke through a million. 

After forwarding the post, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the website and slowly started looking at the website. 

There was some information about «Slayers» written on the website. Zhang Xiaohua carefully read through it.

"Hou Qian as the male lead, Tang Lan as the female lead. Li Xinru and Na Wen are also there. It was even being directed by Director Chen Pu."

Zhang Xiaohua was a big fan of Director Chen Pu. So, he was now more excited about the drama.

The website had a total of nine posters!

The first one was valiant and heroic, with an awe-inspiring bearing man with a sword in his hand.

The man had an overbearing and heroic spirit as he donned a military uniform, the completely white armor lining his skin.

Heroic, manly and dazzling to the eyes.

The tip of his sword was stabbing outwards, just looking at it would make one feel like there was a murderous aura attacking you.

On the right side of the picture were a row of words:

u003cA past filled with pitch black darkness. Amidst curses and abuses, he rises to become a prominent figure it the biggest battle.u003e

u003cThe heavenly king, Hou Qian as Xie Xian.u003e

"Wow!! So cool."

Zhang Xiaohua was already mesmerised by the character photo of Hou Qian. He didn't know what will be there in the next character photos.

The next character photo was also of Xie Xian, albeit the face was of a child actor. 

There were quite a lot of childhood scenes of the character of Xie Xian in the drama, so there was a need for a child actor to play it.

"d.a.m.n!! Na Wen is looking really elegant this time. Ahh, Li Xinru is playing a courtesan. Wow!! Tang Lan is looking really good. She's called the spirit princess!!"

Zhang Xiaohua kept looking at the character photos and exclamations kept pouring out from his mouth.

He was also getting more excited about the drama. It was not because Hou Qian was the male lead nor it was because Director Chen Pu was the director.

It was because of a different reason.

'A drama with a power struggle filled with supernatural elements is something never seen before and it's on a huge scale too.'

Normally, when someone tries to do something different in the entertainment industry, there would only be two results.

It would either become a ma.s.sive hit or a never to be seen before flop.

That's why taking such an unconventional route was really risky but Director Chen Pu had already started walking on this path.

No one ever thought that in such an age where ancient-style, romance, and idol dramas were currently popular, there would be a drama series that would decide to take an alternate route.

They deliberately didn't take an emotional romance drama route but instead found a bunch of big actors to act out a power struggle.

It was with supernatural powers too!!

'Who will be in the last character poster?'

Zhang Xiaohua wondered and without wasting his time, he opened the last character photo but he was shocked when he saw who it was.

Zhang Xiaohua originally big eyes widened, becoming even rounder and bigger, unwaveringly staring at his computer screen.

He stared at that person inside the photo, looking once then again, and again and again.

The person inside the poster had a distinctly handsome appearance that seemed to have no time for amus.e.m.e.nt.

The person's lips brought in a cold and indifferent smile.

The person was dressed in pale blue robes. He was standing at the riverside, while facing the wind, and his sleeves were dancing in the wind.

Even through the cold electronic screen, it seemed as if Zhang Xiaohua could hear the howling of the wind.

As he kept on looking at his eminent and handsome face, he found that there was something more to his handsome appearance. 

Amidst the howling wind, there were some whispers of darkness that were visible on the person's face.

So when Zhang Xiaohua looked at him, he felt that the other had pa.s.sed through the screen and was earnestly looking at him. 

Appearing to have penetrated through s.p.a.ce and time, that person faintly raised his lips and smiled.

The slender and cunningly pretty phoenix eyes flicked with a bright intelligent radiance.

His smile brought about a peaceful and calm hint but there was something hidden in it. It was something that he can't comprehend.

It was obviously just a young and handsome youth but there was a feeling of darkness around him.

He bore a certain extremely powerful aura that could shock people's hearts, making one unable to bear his gaze and instead settle on his unperturbed and placid smile.

After looking for five minutes, Zhang Xiaohua swallowed a mouthful of saliva and s.h.i.+fted her gaze to see the text next to it.

u003cBorn as the child of the emperor but never got treated as a prince. He is wastrel but no one knows if there is something more to him.u003e

u003cXin Ren as the illegitimate wastrel, Cao Xu.u003e

"This, this is Xin Ren!!!"

Zhang Xiaohua had never thought that Xin Ren would be in this drama.

There were already speculations about it on the internet but there was no confirmation of his new project, but that was until now.

The internet was already going crazy over this and there were people proclaiming the cast as the strongest cast in the decade.
