Xu Lin is going there tomorrow.
After checking into the hotel, Xu Lin stayed in his room for the rest of the day, opting to have food brought up by a private butler instead of going out.
Xu Lin continued to study mathematics in his room.
He brought two gaming laptops with him.
Xu Lin will need to study for so ti, maybe a week.
The next day ca quickly.
It’s already the end of May, and in a couple of days, it will be June, which is quite hot.
He’s wearing just a short-sleeved shirt and cargo pants, all in black.
After eight in the morning, Xu Lin arrived at the Ming and Qing Palace Garden.
When Xu Lin was a kid, he watched TV dramas and thought the Forbidden City in them was the real one, but it wasn’t. It was a one-to-one replica created specifically for filming.
After parking his car, Xu Lin stood before the grand palace gate, looking up at the architecture.
Without much thought, Xu Lin walked straight to the palace entrance.
From the mont he stepped through the gate, Xu Lin’s entire aura and deanor changed.
Without him having to activate it himself, the Qi Tun Shanhe buff automatically went online.
This new buff has a special chanism; it activates automatically in special places and occasions.
But Xu Lin didn’t notice.
After all, one’s own aura is sothing they’re usually unaware of.
But others saw differently.
"Where’s our crew?"
Xu Lin called the director, Zhang Li, who is renowned for historical dramas with many great works under his na.
For professional matters, seek out professional people.
"Mr. Xu, you’ve arrived?"
"Yes, I’m inside the Forbidden City. Where are you located?"
"We’re at the Jinluan Palace."
"Ok, I’m heading over now."
Though it’s Xu Lin’s first ti at Hengdian Forbidden City, he has been to the Beijing Palace Museum, and since this layout is identical to a one-to-one replica, he knows his way around.
Jinluan Palace is where the Emperor holds court, also known as Taihe Palace, the grandest and most impressive venue.
Xu Lin soon arrived at the base of Jinluan Palace.
Looking up, he could see this Forbidden City’s replica of Jinluan Palace.
Xu Lin pondered, although this is a replica, imagine ancient Emperors standing high above, surveying downward. What could they be thinking?
One must ascend a section of steps to reach above.
There were quite a number of people here, mostly tourists.
This is a tourist spot; naturally, there are many visitors if it generates revenue.
During filming, tourists would watch. Usually, the crew would set up ropes to isolate the area, so long as the filming isn’t disturbed. But so crews do restrict access for confidentiality and prohibit tourists from nearing.
Xu Lin noticed many tourists.
And the tourists noticed him.
If one is just an ordinary passerby, tourists wouldn’t pay much attention.
But Xu Lin is different.
It’s not about being handso.
Sure, being handso can catch attention, so won might snap a photo, and the bold ones might approach to chat.
But that’s just about it.
Xu Lin is different.
Today, he is different.
He didn’t activate the Dragon among n buff, but the Qi Tun Shanhe buff went online by itself.
As Xu Lin ascended the steps, more people began to watch him.
They felt he was unique, his presence too strong, like a Celestial God descending.
The Qi Tun Shanhe is not just for show.
However, the tourists are just regular people; they wouldn’t know what Xu Lin’s aura signifies, just that he has a very strong and unique presence. Although they’re truly surprised as such people are rare in real life.
Just like ordinary folks might never et a truly stunning beauty in real life, only through manipulated images online or stars on screen.
And that’s that.
Xu Lin didn’t mind the crowd, looking up the stairs and heading directly to the Taihe Palace.
As filming was underway, the area was roped off, and the palace itself was inaccessible.
But Xu Lin walked right in, past a security guard watching him. Xu Lin rely stated his intention to enter, and before he could explain he was part of the crew, the security guard was montarily stunned and let Xu Lin pass.
It was strange indeed.
Yet, Xu Lin wouldn’t dwell on such details, in or out; it’s done.
The crew?
The crew is quite large; apart from actors, there are various personnel, like makeup artists.
Filming hasn’t started yet; many makeup artists are currently styling actors.
Costu dramas have more complex makeup and outfits than modern dramas.
"Mr. Xu, over here!"
Zhang Li spotted Xu Lin, and many others saw him simultaneously; many were impressed, seemingly awe-struck.
Not exaggerating, Xu Lin indeed looked otherworldly.
Zhang Li, as a seasoned historical drama director, sharp-eyed, found himself amazed.
In acting, one typically judges by the actor’s skill, but so have such powerful charisma, which is even rarer; there’s a saying, wearing imperial robes doesn’t make you look like a Crown Prince; re good looks aren’t enough, one must have that aura, else it’s useless.
Zhang Li, with his experience, had never seen soone with an aura like Xu Lin’s.
Especially the overwhelming presence, in a costu drama, it could be said Xu Lin resembles an Emperor on tour.
And certainly among the mightiest of Emperors.
Zhang Li was profoundly stunned.
Mr. Xu is a prodigy, a remarkably talented young man.
At the last opening ceremony, everyone t, but upon seeing Xu Lin again, his presence was even more pronounced.
The unmatched aura left him in awe.
Xu Lin approached him, shook his hand, exchanging a few pleasantries.
"Why do I feel your gaze seems off?"
Xu Lin asked with a smile.
Zhang Li said, "It feels like a waste that you’re not playing the Emperor!"
"That wouldn’t do; I’m too handso. If I appear on the big screen, wouldn’t those young ladies go crazy?"
Xu Lin joked humorously.
"Haha..."
Zhang Li laughed heartily, and others joined in the laughter.
However, none were mocking.
One doesn’t mock such a presence.
Xu Lin’s aura is so overwhelming, even the veterans can see.
No matter the field or domain, those at the top have encountered many remarkable individuals, even at higher tiers.
So here’s the question.
How many have t soone as unique as Xu Lin?
Xu Lin’s appearance, to everyone present, was transcendental.
