In their understanding, Sun Wukong was essentially a Beastman, because he had the body of a beast and the mind of a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they considered him a Beastman, and they were a little confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t understand why a monkey-type was chosen when there were so many more powerful Beastmen in the Interstellar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, they were even more confused about how a stone could gestate life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they started speculating:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe that rock was actually a rock-monkey Half-beastman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone shot the speaker a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person sheepishly shut their mouth, not making any more thoughtless guesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe the monkey’s mom and dad put him in a hibernation pod and disguised it with a layer of rock?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the script says the stone is just a big rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... okay, we can’t think of any reason a stone could give birth to a monkey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever. Maybe the reason will be revealed later in the plot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were just ordinary crew members, they hadn’t read the script and didn’t know the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shot, the great stone cracked, the monkey burst out and leaped into the air, and the camera moved with his action...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this very first shot had a major flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Yin frowned and called a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s do it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several consecutive NGs, Mrs. Yin could only frown and tell the actor to take a break and try to get a feel for the character on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, she watched the playback on the camera, her brow furrowed in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin joined her, watching as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qing, what do you think of this take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... our technology is too good. We failed to capture that hazy, mythical sense of grandeur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too good?\" Mrs. Yin hadn’t expected such an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a famous director, she wasn’t the arrogant type who looked down on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, because she genuinely loved filming, she had the patience to learn from her juniors and the humility to consult her seniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone has a different perspective and different ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was perfectly willing to adopt the good aspects of others’ views to broaden her own experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Movies and television are things that need to align with audience preferences, so she always worried about falling behind and not keeping up with the changing times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trends are the kind of thing that change from month to month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by constantly learning and understanding the public’s views could she produce works that would appeal to the aesthetics of generation after generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she didn’t feel at all awkward about needing to consult Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she greatly admired Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, very few people could create works that were loved across the entire Interstellar and were released in both the Empire and among the Myriad Races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Qin had done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just her film and television projects; her songs were also loved by the masses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she trusted Jiang Qin’s professional judgment and decided to listen to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an idea in mind, she went to speak with the actor playing Sun Wukong again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another two or three NGs, she was finally satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she called it good, everyone on set breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew, I’d heard Director Yin was strict, but I didn’t realize she really wouldn’t tolerate the slightest flaw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s normal. She’s not short on cash. Even if the shoot burns through money, she can afford it, so of course she’ll strive for perfection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a few who were truly in it for their dreams, most of them, the actors, were in it for the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a big reason many of them chose the path of acting was because their natural talents weren’t high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they had to try other ways to make a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even those who were in it for their dreams wouldn’t turn their noses up at more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Director Yin was indeed a bit difficult, she paid the actors a generous bonus out of her own pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they thought about that payment, the actors’ complaints completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a break, filming resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they were shooting the scene of picking the Flat Peaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main actors, of course, were the group of celestial maidens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this group of females appeared in colorful long dresses, everyone on set was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!! They’re so beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dresses are beautiful, the makeup is beautiful, and the accessories are beautiful too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So does ’celestial maiden’ just mean a beautiful female?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And they’re all pure-human females, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Pure-human females?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Miss Jiang specifically picked them out. She said the celestial maidens don’t have that many scenes, so she gave this job to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess Miss Jiang wanted to help out these poor pure-human females, right? She’s so kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I’ve already joined Miss Jiang’s fan club. From now on, I’m a proud Jiang Fan too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After filming wrapped for the day, the cast and crew discovered that their production had started trending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was this group of celestial maidens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A number of paparazzi photographers who had come to take pictures of the stars had filmed their appearance and uploaded it online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the footage, within the ethereal, mist-shrouded Flat Peach Garden, a group of celestial maidens appeared one after another, laughing and chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was most captivating was how their movements were filled with a classical elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their light laughter was both charming and graceful—it was absolutely perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colors of their clothes were also exceptionally brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I always used to think bright colors were tacky, so I only liked pastels, but why do I think they look so good in these?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Such bold color combinations. Each one would look gaudy on its own, but why do they create such a wonderful sense of beauty when put together?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I know, I know! It’s a certain... ah, yes, this must be what Immortals feel like, right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I feel the same way. I didn’t know what Immortals were like; I didn’t even know the word ’Immortal’ until Jiang Qin popularized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I just feel like Immortals *should* be this brilliant. I can’t even imagine what an Immortal in plain colors would look like.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read the next Chapter in an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t do this tomorrow.
