This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

The teaser trailer for The Return of the Condor Heroes is about to be released.

Yu Jian and Zhang Dahuzi also managed to steal a few moments of leisure amidst their busy schedules.

Inside the tavern, Zhang Dahuzi and Yu Jian were drinking.

"Do you think he can handle the role of Guihai Yidao?"

"I don't know, but I recommended it, and Xiao Li knows it was me who recommended it, that's enough." Zhang the Bearded Man took a sip of his drink and let out a long sigh of relief: "That's satisfying."

Zhang the Big Beard is an old smoker and drinker; he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't have a few drinks every day.

"I heard that a young actor from Taiwan also wanted to take on the role. Originally, Wong Jing would have given the role to him directly."

Zhang Da Huzi paused for a moment and then said, "Ye Huajian is also going to audition. This is his first time going from the Taiwanese entertainment circle to the Shanghai circle."

This time, "The Best in Heaven and Earth" features many stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is also the significance behind this drama.

We have resources from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing.

While the television industry is not as closed off as the film industry, it mostly only uses people from its own circle.

It's unclear whether Wang Jing will consider resource exchanges within the industry or simply the cost of his acting skills.

Moreover, Ye Huajian is no ordinary nobody with no acting skills; his status in Taiwan is similar to that of Huang Xiaoming on the mainland.

He's a rising star at the height of his popularity.

"I talked to Wang Jing before, and the production team there also unanimously agreed that Ye Huajian is a top contender."

"Huang Xiaoming also wants to compete for this role."

After filming for The Return of the Condor Heroes wrapped up, Huang Xiaoming heard that he also wanted to try and get the role of Guihai Yidao in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

"So many companies and so many resources are vying for this role," Yu Jian remarked.

He thought to himself that Li Qing was in a bit of trouble.

"That's better."

"That's better?"

"The more famous people go, the better; the more and bigger the companies, the more famous the actors, the better."

"Wouldn't that make Li's win rate seem lower?"

"The success rate isn't important," Zhang Dahuzi chuckled. "It's important that he understands the significance of my recommendation for him to audition this time."

Yu Jian was speechless. This old man with the shrewdness...

Although Yu Jian also felt that this time it was a bit risky.

However, he could only hope in his heart that Li Qingzhen could really get the role.

"If he can land this role of Guihai Yidao, it means he can handle the role even without relying on his natural strengths. I'll recommend him for a movie audition then."

"A movie?" Zhang Dahuzi paused for a moment and said, "You're quite generous."

"You can invest in young people, but I can't?"

"That's true... let's have a drink first." Zhang the Bearded Man suddenly remembered something and said, "It's that art film that won over the Kung Fu Emperor, called 'Ocean Heaven,' right?"

"Um."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the newcomer can't handle this, can he?"

"Anyway, it's a recommendation, right?"

"Hmph..."

"I wonder how Kung Fu Emperor's dramatic scenes are."

.......

Inside an apartment in Shanghai.

Ye Huajian was getting up to exercise.

I never leave worries for the next day. I go to bed on time every day, do massage exercises before bed, and after waking up, I drink a glass of milk, eat a slice of rye bread and an egg, and then do aerobic exercise to relax.

His self-discipline in life has given him a great physique with abs.

With his delicate features, well-defined contours, and striking eyes and eyebrows, he is perfectly suited for period dramas.

He has a cold and aloof air when he's not smiling.

The most sought-after young actor in Taiwan.

At that moment, the agent knocked on the door and came in.

"This role suits you perfectly, but... sigh, why aren't you the male lead? Actually, I think the male lead would be more suitable for you."

Although he is the male lead, Guihai Yidao is ultimately the third male lead.

The male lead, Duan Tianya, has already been cast, and the role of Cheng Shifei, with his likable character, has also been taken... Of course, Ye Huajian cannot play Cheng Shifei.

The only one left to compete for is Guihai Yidao, the third male lead.

Whether someone is the third male lead or the first male lead isn't necessarily determined by the script.

Ye Huajian smiled and said, "If I can give a performance even better than the male lead, then wouldn't I be the male lead?"

The agent thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

Like the Seven Nights Saint Lord in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the Golden Snake Swordsman in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood".

They are all more popular than the 'protagonist'.

The role is there; it's up to you to handle it.

"Let me find out who auditioned for this drama for you."

"Whatever."

Ye Huajian said nothing and continued eating his breakfast, holding a brief biography of Gui Haiyi Dao in his hand.

With the agent gone, Ye Huajian, who was focused on studying the character, wouldn't pay him much attention.

.......

"Don't be nervous."

There's really no need to be so nervous.

"Relax, inhale, relax, exhale."

..

"But I'm so nervous... The competition for this audition is really strong."

Jiang Chenggang said this.

Li Qing, who was preparing for the audition, comforted Jiang Chenggang, who was even more nervous than Li Qing as his agent.

happy.

This time, when Li Qing went to the audition, he was still dressed in a Taoist robe, with a character biography in his left hand and goji berries soaking in a thermos in his right.

"Don't you want to know who your opponent is?" Jiang Chenggang couldn't help but ask.

Li Qingtai remained calm, sipping goji berry water while reading the character biography of "Guihai Yidao," sitting on the waiting platform with a serene and content expression.

"So what if I know, so what if I don't?" Li Qing said with a smile. "The decision is still in the director's hands. If my audition doesn't go well, even if I'm the only one who auditioned, the role won't be mine."

"Could it be that you've had your fortune told?" Jiang Chenggang suddenly blurted out.

"You can't accurately predict your own fortune..."

This has put Jiang Chenggang in a difficult position again...

The audition was also held in Hengdian, but it was quite far from where Li Qing lived. After a long and tiring journey, she finally arrived at the audition location.

While having a meal at a restaurant, I ran into Huang Xiaoming.

"Hehe, I want the role of Guihai Yidao this time." Brother Xiaoming sat down next to Li Qing: "We'll be competing against each other this time."

"Then it's up to each of us to rely on our own abilities," Li Qing said with a smile.

Jiang Chenggang is under a lot of pressure.

Huang Xiaoming has a special status; he's a young actor who played the emperor in "The Emperor of Han Dynasty." I never expected him to compete for this role.

The more he learned, the more important the role seemed to Jiang Chenggang.

A promising young actor with top-tier talent.

There's also Yeh Hua-chien from Taiwan, who is also a seeded player.

At this point, after talking with Huang Xiaoming, Li Qing learned that there were ten people competing for the role, including a third-tier actor in his forties.

Most of them are just there to make up the numbers.

"As for whether you're just there to make up the numbers, that depends on your own ability."

Huang Xiaoming chuckled.

He dared not underestimate Li Qing, after all, he had personally witnessed his acting skills.

However, there is also an added bonus from being a Taoist priest.

Gui Hai Yi Dao is a chivalrous character with deep-seated grievances and a touch of the wicked.

It's practically made for me...
