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

"How is it?" After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke up and asked Director Deng.

There are three directors on the surface for this film, but the real power lies with Deng Cheng.

I actually like him a lot.

Deng Cheng said, "His appearance is quite good."

Deng Cheng had a very deep impression of how a change in hairstyle and eye contact could completely alter one's demeanor.

He brought out that spirit in one go.

Others are also discussing it.

"However, Ye Huajian's demeanor when he's not speaking is more in line with the image of a cold-faced swordsman."

"You've fallen into a preconceived notion. This young Li Qing also fits the description."

"Ye Huajian seems to have more appeal in terms of viewership ratings."

"What does Taiwan's influence have to do with the mainland? Even Hong Kong celebrities' influence is mostly limited to the coastal provinces."

I didn't expect the discussion to be so intense.

However, most people tend to favor Ye Huajian.

After all, Ye Huajian's performance is evident to all, and there are many historical works in the works, making them easier to refer to.

It is also more stable.

Yes, it's stable.

If you use it, you'll have a stable fan base, you'll be naturally attracted, and there will be more historical significance.

Why use Li Qing? He has no historical achievements and no historical fans.

How could I possibly compete with Ye Huajian?

After a heated discussion...

so...

Deng Cheng said.

"Then it's decided, we'll use Li Qing."

"what?"

The director has spoken.

Everyone was stunned. They were just saying they had plenty of money and wanted the best, so why did they change their minds all of a sudden?

"Um...can we hear the reasons?" a female judge asked earnestly.

"Want to know why I chose Li Qing?"

"First of all, he was recommended by Zhang Dahuzi, and Producer Wang also watched some of his clips from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and fully understood that he was qualified to participate in the audition, which is why he was invited to come. That's one reason."

This is one point, and it's also the key point.

"Secondly, his acting skills may indeed be somewhat raw, and his image may not be as suitable as Ye Huajian's, but did you see his emotional transformation?"

"Is this important?"

"How can that not be important?" Deng Cheng rolled his eyes at the female judge next to him and said, "Sometimes, if someone has one or two outstanding performances in a drama, they can be considered a 'talented actor.' Do you know why?"

"Because the audience isn't an expert in judging acting. What's the point of judging your entire performance? You need one or two outstanding moments to make them remember you. If you perform consistently throughout, at best you won't get any criticism."

I won't curse, but I won't remember it much either.

Deng Cheng remembered the brilliant emotional shift he had just displayed.

He was empathizing with the audience.

"That...makes sense. Are there any other reasons?"

"Thirdly, he's too cheap. His agent quoted 7 yuan for the entire series..."

Seven...seventy thousand yuan?

That's more pay than Ye Jianhua earns per episode.

It's way too cheap.

As for the fan base?

To be honest, the loyalty of fans based on appearance is relative to the actor's image.

Some fans even only watch the shots of their idols and ignore all other shots...

The money saved can be used to buy more GG (games/movies) or make more pilot episodes or something.

That actually evens out the benefits brought by the fan effect.

Deng Cheng smiled and said.

"See? I was right."

"That makes a lot of sense."

It's even irrefutable.

"His average level is not as good as Ye Huajian's, but the highlights in his acting can give us and the audience unexpected surprises."

As for whether it will be a pleasant surprise or a shock at the time.

It doesn't really matter.

Even if Guihai Yidao messes up the ending, it won't be too bad, after all, it's hard to say how bad this cold-faced swordsman can be.

The potential of this drama depends on Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei.

The personalities of the two main characters, Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei, might be even more compelling.

......

The audition results were quickly relayed to all parties involved.

Ye Huajian, who was resting in the hotel, remained calm when he saw the audition results.

"Damn it! Even if Huang Xiaoming had snatched it from us, it would have been better! How did this newcomer manage to steal it?" The manager was already yelling, "What was this director thinking?"

He was stunned, surprised, and somewhat angry.

This doesn't make sense in the casting process.

Huang Xiaoming is at least a leading man in mainland China, so it's understandable that he was defeated by him.

Who the hell is this newcomer?

Upon inquiring, I learned that even his acting experience was limited to the unreleased film "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

He was still playing a supporting role.

Given such a track record, it's hard to understand why someone would land the lead role in such a big-budget martial arts drama.

What is the production crew thinking?

Not only Ye Huajian, but even Huang Xiaoming was a little confused.

This is Guihai Yidao's role.

With a snap, it's gone.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Of course, the entire audition process was recorded on video.

This is to shut up any dissenting voices.

They all received Li Qing's audition records.

When Ye Huajian opened the record, he saw the audition details.

The agent continued to complain, "I don't see how he's better than you! Is this even acceptable?"

He was quite angry.

Ye Huajian said nothing, and couldn't say anything.

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

After a slight imbalance and disappointment, Ye Huajian returned to his own rhythm of life once again.

Eat, sleep, and exercise.

This time, however, he didn't want to hear his agent's annoying voice.

He wanted some peace and quiet.

.....

"Holy crap! You actually landed this role!"

Jiang Chenggang jumped up in excitement.

He originally thought that leaving a good impression would be quite good, but now...

The target has been exceeded.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "Let's go have hot pot tonight."

"Yay... Oh wait, I'm going to invite the crew for a couple of drinks, you go ahead."

Now, through Li Qing and Jiang Chenggang, they've connected with these big-name directors and producers. By leaking even a little bit of resources from them, Jiang Chenggang can make a fortune.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"I'm gone."

Jiang Chenggang left with his hangover cure.

Li Qing was in her hotel room, chatting with Liu Yifei on QQ.

"I passed the audition!"

"Congratulations! I knew you could do it! ୧(๑•̀◡•́๑)૭."

Li Qing smiled slightly; it felt really good to be trusted.

"Oh, right, I have something to tell you. Turn on the TV now."

"Um?"

"Transfer me to Dongshan Provincial TV Station, hurry up!!!"

"oh..."

Li Qing turned on the TV and tuned to the Dongshan Province TV station, which was showing the slogan "No gifts this holiday season, but if you must give a gift, give Old Baijin."

The thief brainwashed me; every time I watch TV, I feel like I'm being bombarded with attacks.

"3...2...1! Hahaha, look!"

When this GG (Girl) line was cut off, it was replaced by a beautiful natural landscape.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were on the Condor Heroes.

The teaser trailer for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is here.

At the same time, a segment featuring an explosive fight scene was played.

On the big screen, Li Qing's face was clearly visible.
