Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 70: Just a formality?

"The Condor Heroes' casting is causing another uproar!"

"Nie Yuan announced his withdrawal from the competition, and Huang Xiaoming has a new rival."

"Ciwen is vying for the role of 'Yang Guo', and a mid-season substitution is being made. Sheng Yunxuan, who plays 'Qin Emperor Li Shimin', is taking over!"

"The new talent is so outstanding that Zhang Jizhong, the producer of the new The Return of the Condor Heroes, is in a dilemma."

"..."

Looking at the overwhelming entertainment news on the Internet, Huang Xiaoming's agent Huang Bing couldn't help but shook his head, then smiled at Huang Xiaoming and said:
"Ciwen was also decisive. They actually had Nie Yuan announce that he would not compete. In order to quickly suppress the public opinion surrounding Nie Yuan, they even temporarily pushed out a second- or third-tier newcomer as a shield."

In the eyes of others, Ciwen had Nie Yuan announce his withdrawal from the competition and then pushed Sheng Yunxuan up, all just to attract attention.

This is to prevent the public from continuing to focus on "Nie Yuan's plastic surgery" and causing a worse impact!
It is undeniable that the top management of Ciwen did take this into consideration, and the effect was quite good.

At least now most of the public attention is focused on Sheng Yunxuan who suddenly appeared...

Huang Xiaoming pondered for a while, then asked:
"Who is this Sheng Yunxuan?"

"A young actor who debuted just a year or two ago. He previously starred in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" with Nie Yuan and was also involved in a fake scandal with Gao Yuanyuan..."

Huang Bing, who was an entertainment reporter, naturally found a way to investigate Sheng Yunxuan's resume a long time ago.

Huang Bing obviously didn't take Sheng Yunxuan seriously and continued to say with a smile:
"Don't worry, he's not a threat to you for now. It's just that Ciwen is unwilling to withdraw and is temporarily pushing him out for others to see, so this time he's more powerful."

"Don't take anything the crew or reporters say too seriously. The crew has already discussed this with us privately. They're just using this as an opportunity to hype things up. There's no other intention."

Sheng Yunxuan and Huang Xiaoming are not at the same level of fame nowadays.

Huang Xiaoming, who debuted a few years ago, is now the hottest young star in the circle. He is not comparable to Sheng Yunxuan, who is only a second- or third-tier star now.

Even Zhang Da Huzi had already greeted Huang Bing in advance.

Although it has not been explicitly stated that the role has been given to Huang Xiaoming, the implicit meaning is somewhat evident in the words.

Huang Xiaoming nodded when he heard this, and then said:
"Where's Nie Yuan?"

"Since he has already withdrawn, there is no need to worry about it."

Huang Xiaoming's expression softened slightly, and he continued:
"So much the better."

Huang Xiaoming's behavior is actually quite acceptable, otherwise he would not have such a good reputation in the circle in the future.

Moreover, when people in the circle fight with each other, they will stop at a certain point. After all, no one can stand being exposed.

If Nie Yuan hadn't put pressure on the crew through the Ciwen Company behind him, Huang Xiaoming wouldn't have resorted to such a "shady" trick to force him to give in, as he was about to take the role he had already secured.

In order to reassure Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bing continued:
"I heard that this young actor went for an audition today, but the crew didn't take him seriously at all. It wasn't like when you and Nie Yuan went for the final audition that day, where they had Liu Tianxian to act with them."

"This is obviously just a formality. Don't take it too seriously. The resources for Yang Guo in The Return of the Condor Heroes are most likely already yours!"

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming felt relieved...

Putting aside other things for now, Huang Xiaoming’s agent Huang Bing is right in saying one thing.

The crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes really didn't take the audition seriously. Not only did they not have anyone to help with the acting, but even the makeup was perfunctory.

They just used the costumes and looks that Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming had used before, without caring whether they matched Sheng Yunxuan's image or not...

In fact, if it weren’t for the face and pressure from Ciwen, even this “going through the motions” would not be possible!

Fortunately, Sheng Yunxuan's appearance is quite outstanding, and his temperament is top-notch. Even if he wears a costume that is not specially designed, he can still make people feel bright.

Since coming here, Qin Qianrong's brows have been furrowed and have never relaxed.

The perfunctory attitude shown by the crew of "The Return of Condor Heroes" is too obvious!
Even though she was not happy in her heart, she was still busy comforting Sheng Yunxuan:

"Just do your best, nothing else matters."

At this time, Sheng Yunxuan was standing there, staring at himself in the mirror and pondering for a moment.

Now that you are here, you should be a little more serious!

After pondering for a moment, Sheng Yunxuan suddenly raised his hand to smooth the strands of hair on his forehead and temples, and said:

"Call the makeup artist over here to dye these strands of hair white, and find me a mask!"

Qin Qianrong was stunned for a moment, then realized that Sheng Yunxuan hadn't given up yet, so she thought of a way to try her best to win...

After Sheng Yunxuan fiddled with the dressing room for a while, the audition officially began.

After some modifications to the original makeup, Sheng Yunxuan entered the audition room with a mask on his face, a few strands of white hair hanging down, his left hand tucked behind his back and his sleeves empty.

Zhang Da Huzi and the rest of the crew who were sitting inside were all stunned when they saw this.

With one arm and white hair, it is obvious that he is the "Condor Hero Yang Guo" sixteen years later.

Before this, neither Huang Xiaoming nor Nie Yuan had tried this look!

Zhang Da Huzi felt a little surprised, but that was all.

After all, Sheng Yunxuan's temperament was too gentle and clear. Such an outstanding temperament could not be concealed. He did not have the feeling of "Yang Guo" that was arrogant and unrestrained, or extremely emotional...

As we all know, when Zhang Da Huzi chooses actors, whether the actor fits the role is never the first factor.

But unfortunately, Sheng Yunxuan's current fame will not allow Zhang Da Huzi to put everything aside and choose him as the protagonist.

This is not bad now. I can refuse with the reason of "not being suitable for the role" and explain it to Ciwen.

Even though Zhang Da Huzi had already thought of how to reject Ciwen, the stage had been set up now, so he had to let people go through the motions first!

Looking at Sheng Yunxuan who had already walked onto the stage, Zhang Da Huzi asked directly:
"Which part do you want to act in?"

Sheng Yunxuan nodded slightly, then said:
"I want to try the scene where Yang Guo finds out that there is no Nanhai Shenni in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Da Huzi nodded directly.

Acting the scene where Yang Guo has an emotional outburst without anyone to cooperate with him was a very smart and challenging choice.

If this part is performed well, it will be more impressive than a person performing to the air!
