As the best-selling novel of the year, "Yi Chen Tian Shi" can be said to be one of the most valuable IP in recent years. Therefore, from the moment the news of its television adaptation was released, the production process has received great attention.

The progress of the TV drama has indeed been full of twists and turns. The supernatural theme did not meet the broadcasting requirements of the television stations and was forced to be released on a streaming platform instead. Renowned director Zhang Min joined the production. The original author, Kai Feng, remains a mystery in terms of his attitude. The male lead, Wu Yichen, is played by the young master of the singing world, Yaxing, raising suspicions of using his connections to join the cast. The popular character, Gu Yanzhi, is entrusted to an inexperienced actor... For more than two years, such news has been emerging endlessly, causing many fans of the original work to worry. However, it is precisely because of this that discussions about "The Celestial Master Yichen" have always been hyped up, making it a classic example of how "even when the brother is not in the world, there will always be legends about him."

This press conference has attracted a lot of attention. Not only did major media outlets rush to report on it, but there was even a live stream on the internet. Every corner of the press conference was covered in a comprehensive and all-encompassing manner.

The various segments set up earlier were progressing smoothly, but it was clear that the audience and the reporters' focus was not on them. The crew understood everyone's expectations well, so after the regular program was done in just over half an hour, they immediately moved on to the question and answer segment.

"Hello Director Zhang, I am Ma Yu, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. I would like to ask you this: just now, you mentioned that the personnel and funding for this TV drama are well-prepared, and the shooting will also be done on a grand scale. Does this mean that the filming period will be very long? And when can we expect the release?" The journalist who was called upon seemed to have waited for a long time, and her tone sounded a bit urgent.

"No." Director Zhang firmly stated, "Miss Ma mentioned that the personnel and funds are fully prepared, but she left out one important point, which is technology. We have already collaborated with M Factory and have introduced real-time rendering technology. This means that the workload and time required for post-production will be greatly reduced. As the era progresses, does high quality always mean low efficiency? Not necessarily. According to the plan, 'The Dust Sky Sorcerer' will meet everyone two months later, and the script will be adjusted in real-time based on market feedback and big data analysis."

Director Zhang's words completely set off the already restless atmosphere in the venue. The journalists below the stage, disregarding their competitive relationships, started discussing one after another.

Director Zhang's position in the industry is evident to all. It is quite rare for a renowned filmmaker who has won the Golden Lion Award to actually come and direct a web drama. This is also the reason why fans, despite seeing so many unpredictable twists and turns, still have expectations for the TV series. However, the scale of this web drama is not only uncommon in the television drama industry but also quite rare in the film industry.

"Director Zhang! What are the original author's thoughts on adjusting the script in real-time?" a voice suddenly chimed in from somewhere.

"The original author?" Zhang Min pondered for a moment. "I don't have any objections."

"I have no objection?! Why did they ask the original author? Zhang Director said he has no objection?!!"

The reporters in the audience were completely stunned by this bombshell news, but their professional instincts made them quickly react, continuously clicking their camera shutters.

Director Zhang smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, I want to use my best resources to bring my novel to life on screen."

"No post-production required? Broadcasting in two months? One Dust Celestial Master collaborates with M Factory to introduce new technology", "Kai Feng's true identity exposed!", "The powerful director turns out to be the original author?"... One after another, these brief messages were rapidly sent out from the press conference venue. The barrage of the online live stream had already united into one, to the point where even the figures of people couldn't be seen.

Looking at the bustling scene below the stage, Director Zhang nodded in satisfaction. "Do any of you still have any doubts about my actors? For example, Tian Ye has only played a supporting role in one movie, and the press conference is still being held at Asia Star. Could there be any hidden agenda? Did his father give me money?"

"Director Zhang... Do you still think I haven't been slandered enough?" Lin Tianye lamented, not understanding why he, who had been obediently standing behind the director all this time, was being targeted again.

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.

"Your dad really gave me money," Director Zhang added another stab, then continued, "This film is originally a collaboration between Asia Star and Fan Ying. But as for any hidden agenda, there really isn't any. Wu Yichen is a character I created, just like my own son. I wouldn't make jokes about my own son. Please trust Tianye, he is a good talent and will surely bring everyone shock."

Lin Tianye breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was used to being criticized for relying on his father no matter what he did, who would feel happy being misunderstood all the time? Furthermore, Director Zhang's affirmation indeed provided him with great encouragement.

"Let's talk about another child who has sparked a lot of controversy. Come on, Tao Rong, come here." Director Zhang Min beckoned to Tao Rong, gesturing for him to come over from the side.

As Tao Rong walked to the center of the stage, Director Zhang patted his shoulder and said, "This child is the actor who will portray Gu Yanzhi, Tao Rong. You may wonder how an amateur can play such an important male supporting role. But Tao Rong, this little guy, has another name - Tao Jingrong. Don't be fooled by his age, he was a leading figure in the opera circle six or seven years ago. Kid, are you a singer of laosheng roles?"

"Right," Tao Rong replied.

I studied under Mr. Fu Chunying, the great master of the Yu school. Although he mainly specializes in playing laosheng roles, he can also handle xiaosheng, huaxian, and dan roles. Speaking of which, I am his fan. As those who have read the book know, Gu Yanzhi runs his own theater troupe and is a theater enthusiast. I think, just based on this, Tao Rong is qualified to play Yan Zhi. Besides, I really like Tao Rong. He is very talented and full of vitality. Moreover, I don't like the term "amateur". Who hasn't started without any experience?"

The reporters in the audience were either typing frantically, their keyboards clattering away as they recorded notes, or busily searching for Tao Rong's previous materials and videos, turning the place into a frenzy.

The following Q&A session revolved around the director and various actors and lasted for a while. Afterward, they had a dinner gathering and so on. By the time Lin Tianye finally lay down on his own sofa, it was already 10 o'clock at night.

He took out his cellphone and discovered that there were over a hundred missed calls, all from his father Lin Baishui, from three in the afternoon until just now.

Lin's father is still overseas at the moment, with a convenient time difference of twelve hours.

Once Lin Tianye considered this, he knew it must be something urgent, so he immediately turned back.
