---------------------

The movie, "Jiu Zhong Tian", had a very high profile opening ceremony before filming. Various media reported on it. The photos of the actors in full costume and makeup were posted on the official website. This caused a heated discussion as people became very excited. Most of them flocked online threads to express their big expectations for the upcoming film.

The photos with Qiao Chen showed him dressed in a large wide sleeved robe with black and gold embroidered patterns. The costume complimented his entire person and accentuated his beauty. He exuded a charming style in the robe too. Qiao Chen seemed to smiling, but there was also a sense of evil lurking beneath the charm. He exuded an aura of both an upright, yet demonic individual. This set the precedence for the audience's first impressions on the character's temperament.

Qiao Chen's character was Zhu Hua. Zhu Hua was a descendant of the Phoenix family. This meant that all the costumes he was supposed to wear were all red. However, not everything would be the same red robes over and over again. Zhu Hua had a variety of red outfits to match the scene and the plot points as the movie progressed.

Xu Jieming played the character Ao Jing. Ao Jing was a descendant of the Dragon clan. He wore gold armor and held a long, silver pike. Xu Jieming's photos gave the sense that something was still missing, even though he looked very handsome and elegant. People felt that the arrogance and dignity of a supposed war god was lacking. Someone commented that Du Jingnan would have been more suitable for the role on the online discussions. A lot of the other netizens agreed and piled on comments about how they approved. However, this comment thread quickly disappeared. The comments that stayed were only those that were full of praises.

Liu Yi was sitting in the dressing room. From the mirror, he saw Qiao Chen enter in the red robe as he was surrounded by others. The jealousy in his eyes burned brightly. He should have been the one to play the role of Zhu Hua. However, Qiao Chen was both the investor and the producer, so Liu Yi didn't have any power to oppose him getting the role.

Liu Yi had visited Qiao Chen before filming started in hopes of convincing him to give him the role. However, Qiao Chen's attitude at the time had embarrassed him greatly. He finally understood that Shu Qichen was not the same person like before. 'Shu Qichen was no longer the person who accepted whatever roles the company had given him.' What made things even worse for Liu Yi was that Shu Qichen became a very well-spoken and witty individual.

Liu Yi controlled his emotions and put his façade back on. Then he stood up and walked over to Qiao Chen with a gentle smile. "I never would have expected you to be able to wear red so well. It's obvious that's why you should play Zhu Hua instead of me."

Liu Yi was particularly good at insincere flattery. He had to go back to just like how it was before. He would flatter and please Shu Qichen with a sincere face no matter how jealous and disgusted he was with Shu Qichen.

"Thank you, but I don't think it's like that. I actually think this role was tailor made for me." Qiao Chen replied very politely. Then he looked Liu Yi up and down from the mirror and commented, "But I don't think you are suitable for Wen Liu. I mean, Wen Liu is supposed have the purest heart and is most genuine and upright character in this the entire movie. You don't really have the forthright and chaste temperament like he does."

"Let me go talk to the director right now. We should take advantage of the fact that we've only started filming today. You can have the role of yannu*. You can definitely portray it realistically." Qiao Chen looked at Liu Yi through the mirror and said.
