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

"Happy Seven Fairies is a CCTV drama, you know. Although CCTV dramas don't pay high salaries, they're good at boosting brand awareness. And I think the character of Yin Shi Wang is pretty good," Jiang Chenggang analyzed. "It's a villainous character that people can remember."

Li Qing glanced at the script and thought it was indeed quite good.

They're not the kind of pure villains lined up in a row.

"The production team called directly and said that if you go, the role of Yin Shi Wang is yours, and you don't need to audition."

"It seems it's because you have good relationships with several people in Beijing's social circle. Ma Xiaoning appears to be a guest instructor..."

"Oh! Director Ma."

Li Qing remembered that the last time a ritual was performed for the film "Zhu Yuanzhang," it was directed by Ma Xiaoning.

I didn't expect them to still remember me!

"As for Xu Changqing from 'Chinese Paladin 3,' you'll have to audition. Your main competitor is Ye Huajian..."

When Ye Huajian was mentioned, Jiang Chenggang asked curiously, "I know him."

This "Return to the Sea Blade" was snatched from Ye Huajian by Li Qing!

The two schedules conflict, so only one can be chosen.

"To be honest, as your agent, I suggest you choose Yin Shi Wang. You have a better relationship with those people in the Beijing circle, and now that we've all moved to the north, their stronghold, communication wouldn't be a problem."

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3... looks promising, but the competition is fierce. Ye Huajian has connections in the Shanghai entertainment circle, so if you audition for the role of Xu Changqing, I feel your chances of winning are slim."

Jiang Chenggang's decision was based solely on rational discussion and analysis.

"Hmm... If I had to choose, I'd like to play Xu Changqing."

Li Qing prefers the character Xu Changqing... and as a player who has played "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", she has a higher level of affection for this character.

As for the matter of competing with Ye Huajian for a role again...

This isn't child's play; if you don't fight for a role, what will you rely on?

"Um."

Jiang Chenggang wasn't too surprised by Li Qing's choice.

The fact that this role was chosen means that Jiang Chenggang felt it was suitable.

Since Li Qing also likes it, let's report it!

...

The audition for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has been submitted.

The second male lead, Xu Changqing.

And the male lead in this installment is naturally Hu Qu, the one handpicked.

He is the male lead who follows in the footsteps of the male lead in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

After submitting her name, Li Qing didn't care about anything else and prepared to audition for "Ocean Heaven".

The audition was held at a small hotel outside Yanjiao. Five days before the audition began, Li Qing and Jiang Chenggang arrived there first.

Although the film's budget wasn't large, the lead actor's background was quite impressive.

Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li.

The kung fu emperor who is famous in Hollywood.

If we say that Cheng Shilong's kung fu films allow viewers to guess the upcoming plot, then it's a comedy with an action-comedy style.

So Jet Li's kung fu films are basically this cold-faced guy's punching machine, beating up his enemies from beginning to end...

The king of cold noodles kung fu is now starring in a low-budget art film.

What the real secrets behind this are, people don't know, but many people do know.

If I can land the role of "Da Fu" this time, I'll be able to act opposite the Kung Fu Emperor—in dramatic scenes.

"To be honest, when he played a father with cancer, I subconsciously felt that he would beat the cancer to death with his fists." Jiang Chenggang was still marveling at this when he accompanied Li Qing to the audition location.

Li Qing: "..."

Li Qingzhen said sincerely.

"Old Jiang, if you make a film based on this, it will definitely be a hit."

Jiang Chenggang clicked his tongue and said, "If I have an idea, you should invest in me."

"Anyway, being able to act alongside the Kung Fu Emperor is a small step for you in the film industry, isn't it?"

He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for kung fu emperor Jet Li to play a tender and affectionate father.

"However, all of this is contingent on me being able to audition for the role."

During the journey, Li Qing ended up sitting in the opposite direction.

Jiang Chenggang asked in confusion.

"Weren't we supposed to book a room at a hotel first? Why are we here?"

The Second People's Hospital.

Specializing in psychiatry.

This is what people commonly refer to as a mental hospital.

The surrounding area was deserted, with hardly anyone coming or going; the residential area was about a kilometer away.

It's as if this place is completely isolated from the outside world.

The inside, the outside world.

Li Qing said softly.

"If we're auditioning for roles involving mental illness, then of course we need to get to know them first. Otherwise, what's the point of us being here before the audition?"

So Li Qing booked a hotel about a mile away from the Second People's Hospital.

"Damn, you really live next to a lunatic? You're going to go in and live with a lunatic..." Jiang Chenggang felt a little creeped out looking at the hospital.

But then I thought about Li Qing's approach to experiential learning.

It seems that doing so makes sense.

"Damn it, I'll risk my life to keep you company."

Jiang Chenggang also booked a room next to Li Qing's.

As for applying to work at the Second People's Hospital, I'll leave that to Jiang Chenggang...

Theoretically speaking, this is something that everyone, including doctors and parents, would refuse.

After all, this is tantamount to acknowledging that those children are "special".

In order to improve their acting skills, they are harming those children...

However, Jiang Chenggang is ultimately a qualified agent, and he has indeed found a family willing to contribute their "child".

When Jiang Chenggang brought Li Qing to their door.

This child, around 16 years old, is excitedly taking apart the toys in the house.

Jiang Chenggang looked at the child and couldn't help but shrink back.

"What a madman..."

Li Qing stepped forward gently.

.....

Inside the hotel, preparations for the audition were also in full swing.

"So, what do you think of the audition candidates this time?"

"Yes, there are eight in total... The most experienced one is named Zhang Jiawen."

There were eight people auditioning this time, including some well-known actors.

For example, Zhang Jiawen, who has the most acting experience, has participated in popular TV series such as "Fighting on the Front Line" and "Suspended Mirror Division", but he was always the third male lead. It wasn't until "Dwelling Narrowness" that he barely made it into the ranks of leading actors.

This was his first film audition, and for an important role at that.

"Another one is Yin Zhiping who played the role in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'... Oh right, Gao Yuanyuan mentioned him before and spoke highly of him. He also worked with her on 'The First Under Heaven'."

The woman with the gentle appearance and glasses is director Xue Lu.

She spoke slowly and deliberately to the middle-aged man beside her.

The middle-aged man crossed his arms, nodded, and said...

"Let them all come in for auditions, and whoever gets the part will be chosen."

Xue Lu thought about it and realized that it was pointless to tell Li Lianjie about their acting experiences.

What is Li Lianjie's status, and what are the statuses of the people he has worked with?

These people who've acted in a few TV dramas and landed a few supporting roles are acting like kids...

To put it bluntly, even if someone has starred as the male lead in a TV series, that's about it. Not to mention those who have never even played the male lead in a TV series.
