Accidental Mark (COMPLETED)

Extra 5: Nine Princes

It wasn’t certain who the ultimate winner was.

The original novel was very popular so the TV drama had a high degree of popularity before filming. The major forums were discussing who would play the princes, especially the villain, the youngest prince who was 18 years old. This young man was pale and thin. He swallowed down his anger when bullied and looked like a humble loser but in fact, the youngest prince had a deep mind. His personality was gloomy and even a bit abnormal.

All the people who bullied him were recorded in his little book and he retaliated against them one by one.

The audience was tired of seeing the Virgin Mary type main character. This type of cruel and perverted villain was really unique and made netizens look forward to it. It was just that it was hard for first-tier actors with strong acting skills to perform the youngest prince’s weak and youthful feeling. Meanwhile, the acting skills of the young actors weren’t good enough. This made the choices for the youngest prince quite controversial online.

It wasn’t until the end of April that the actors were finally announced. The princes who had more important roles in the drama were all stars with good acting skills. The actor for the upright protagonist, the third prince was suitable for the role and there was nothing to complain about. Then the moment the actor for the villain was announced, there was an uproar on the Internet.

Netizens were stunned. [No, it’s Cheng Xia?]

[In fact, I had a guess it would be him. Cheng Xia is last year’s best newcomer and his acting is okay. The crew asking him is reasonable.]

[Cheng Xia is playing this gloomy character, the youngest prince? I am looking forward to Cheng Xia acting as an abnormal person!]

[From the sunny boy in the school drama to the hot-blooded policeman in a criminal investigation drama to the abnormal prince of a costume drama. This span is too big!]

Cheng Xia’s works had indeed spanned a wide variety since his debut. This was hard to see among newcomers. Many newcomers would first act in a few youth dramas before trying other genres.

Cheng Xia was a ‘changeable newcomer.’ He was in three dramas and they all had completely different styles.

Many people questioned his acting skills but his crying scene and explosive power in Disappearing Traces were seen by everyone. Many directors in the circle who saw Cheng Xia’s acting skills gave him a high evaluation. The always strict Director Zhu even publicly said in an interview, “It’s very pleasant to work with Cheng Xia. He is the most talented and hardest working newcomer I have ever met.”

Last year’s Best Newcomer Award was the biggest recognition of Cheng Xia and the online doubts about Cheng Xia’s acting skills decreased. Netizens said one after another that Cheng Xia’s abnormal prince was worth looking forward to!

The thing that made everyone happy was that Pei Shaoze was a producer again this time.

After seeing the list announced by the crew, the book fans were so excited that they ran around everyone. [The producer is President Pei. It’s great!]

[Both of the dramas he produced last year were super high quality and this one shouldn’t drop the ball either, right?]

[It’s said that the final investment is over 200 million yuan. It will definitely become a high-quality drama!]

The rich and willful crew officially started in early May. Cheng Xia flew to the Ya’an Movies and Television Studio with the crew.

This was the second time he had come to the studio. Last time, the suspense drama was filled in Area C of the studio. This time, it was a costume drama so it was changed to Area A. This area was full of antique pavilions and majestic palaces. It was extremely spectacular from a distance, giving Cheng Xia the illusion that he had traveled to ancient times.
