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

Regarding the movie "SPL: Sha Po Lang," there's still some time before the auditions.

With the year-end approaching, according to Ye Xiao's plan, filming for the movie "SPL: Sha Po Lang" wouldn't begin until the second or even third quarter of next year.

This is not a low-budget film; it's still in the initial planning stage.

Anyway, it wouldn't conflict with the upcoming filming, so Li Qing was happy to be free, since she wasn't even sure she'd pass the audition.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, Li Qing also received a message from Deng Cheng—"The First Under Heaven" was going to be released around the Spring Festival, during the winter break.

Judging from this release speed, "The First Under Heaven" lives up to its investment scale and the investors who spearheaded it.

That's the advantage of having investment backing from the Beijing film industry. Other production companies' TV dramas might get stuck for a while for various reasons, but the treatment from the Beijing film industry is just different. They don't even get stuck during the review process.

In addition, martial arts dramas themselves don't have many obscure elements to be reviewed, so they were approved quickly.

Around the time of the Chinese New Year, "The Best in Heaven and Earth" will be released.

Li Qing is really looking forward to Gui Hai Yi Dao's performance.

...

this side.

The day when "Ocean Heaven" is scheduled to start filming is fast approaching.

After resting in the capital for a while, I hurriedly prepared to set off for Qingji Island in "Ocean Heaven".

Before heading to Qingji Island, the filming location, Jiang Chenggang looked at Li Qingle and said.

"You just played Ximen Chuixue, and then you immediately went on to play a mentally ill person. That's a huge leap for you."

"Isn't this the pinnacle of acting?"

Li Qing wasn't embarrassed and responded, "I'll play whatever role I'm in, without being confined to any particular character or type."

"Alright, future chameleon-like TV King and chameleon-like Movie King, have a smooth journey."

Li Qing could tell that Jiang Chenggang was being sarcastic in his words.

A versatile TV actor and a versatile film actor.

Li Qing returned the smile.

"Let's go."

.....

Li Qing quickly arrived at Qingji Island.

My impression of Li Qing here is only of beer and seafood...

With filming approaching, this 500 million yuan investment movie didn't have a press conference.

There were no press conferences or anything like that.

To use Jiang Chenggang's witty remark, it was a crew of poor guys.

Apart from Li Lianjie, the general in charge, the others were all unknown.

Even with Li Lianjie's name, he couldn't attract many big names; at most, there was Gui Mei from Taiwan.

Gao Yuanyuan made a cameo appearance because she had known Xue Lu for a long time.

The filming crew consisted of only a dozen or so people.

Li Qing was the last to arrive and report here...

However, no one, including the director, had any objections.

After all, there's still a day before the server opens; everyone just arrived early.

Even Li Qing arrived early.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late."

Li Qing apologized from the side.

"No need to apologize, you're not late at all, we're just a little early."

Xue Lu looked at Li Qing gently.

Judging from her appearance, this female director is the type who is gentle yet strong.

This five million was her personal investment; she was the producer, director, and investor all at the same time...

He did many things quietly.

Not far away, Gao Yuanyuan said playfully, "Brother Yidao, we meet again."

"Oh my, isn't this our Liusheng Piaoxu?"

Li Qing rarely saw an acquaintance here.

Which role are you playing this time?

Gao Yuanyuan smiled somewhat mischievously.

"Your own mother."

"So it was you..." Li Qing retorted, but didn't feel much of a stir.

Although Gao Yuanyuan looks young, the two characters in the story don't have any scenes together.

Dafu's mother passed away when Dafu was very young. Dafu didn't even have many scenes with his face on screen. He would leave after filming for a few days, so it was more of a cameo role.

It's a lucky thing to run into someone you know here.

The set was indeed a bit shabby; the cast looked like they were shooting a short graduation film for college students or something...

But the problem isn't too big.

"I ran into some familiar faces on set," Gao Yuanyuan said.

"How have you been lately?"

"I recently acted in a digital film for CCTV."

"Lu Xiaofeng?" "How did you know?"

"We're from Beiping, after all, we know a lot more than that," Gao Yuanyuan chuckled. "What kind of role are you going to play?"

"Ximen Chuixue".

"You've played Ximen Chuixue and now you're playing Dafu, you're really something."

While chatting with Li Qing, Gao Yuanyuan noticed something and asked Xue Lu about it.

"By the way, why isn't our lead actor here today?"

"You mean Brother Li? It seems he went to see some friends," Xue Lu said softly. "You know our production budget isn't very big, so we have to piece together a lot of things."

"He went to find music for our film crew."

"oh oh."

Music.

Gao Yuanyuan thought to herself.

I doubt they can find any decent background music...

...

There was some buzz during the audition for "Ocean Heaven," but now that filming is about to begin, there's been almost no news.

After all, a film with an investment of five million can't really make much of a splash in this fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

Let's invest at least another zero.

500 million is really too little.

To outsiders, this is a movie without music or promotion.

It can be released, but the box office will definitely be very niche.

As for his main job of making art films and winning awards... who knows, such far-fetched things.

So, when the Kung Fu Emperor announced his joining the team, it caused quite a stir.

Zhang Jiawen, on the other side, also learned about the start of filming for "Ocean Heaven" through a friend.

There was absolutely no ripple in either online or mainstream media.

He chuckled at this.

"Sigh, thank goodness Li Lianjie didn't choose me. Isn't the film we're making now much better than that 'Ocean Heaven' thing?"

Zhang Jiawen was very happy.

After being rejected by Ocean Paradise, he auditioned for other movie scripts.

As it turned out, he actually found a role that he auditioned for.

It's also an art film, titled "Lost in Beijing".

He landed the role of the real male lead, An Kun.

She acted opposite Fan Bing, who played Liu Pingguo, as well as Liang Jiayao and Liu Jialing.

Aren't all these big names combined stronger than Li Lianjie?

Moreover, the storyline is the kind of painful, profound, and reflective type that Zhang Jiawen likes.

This type of competition is more relatable and makes it easier to win awards.

What is "Ocean Heaven"?

That's utterly nonsensical.

So Zhang Jiawen really wants to say, thank you, Li Lianjie, for eliminating me!

"Cheers!"

"Cheers."

The agent wiped the sweat from his brow: "I really didn't expect this."

"I never expected that being rejected at the audition would turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

"Why."

Zhang Jiawen sighed, and the slight unhappiness in her heart about having her role "stolen" by a newcomer disappeared.

So what if they steal my role? So what if they're more like a madman than me?

Didn't I get a better role?

Now I have better and more excellent choices.

Sometimes, the choice you make is more important than your efforts.

Perhaps Yin Zhiping will understand this principle many years from now.

"Hahaha!"
