I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

"The original work is called 'Shinmoku,' which is just a reference to 'Blind Shaft'!"

Li Yun was somewhat surprised.

The director's name is Li Yang.

He's a pure professional, and by all accounts, he should be considered part of the Beijing elite circle.

Jiang Chenggang is an amateur; he works with extras.

Generally speaking, he and Li Yang, who is a classically trained actor, should not be on the same page.

But fate is sometimes just that mysterious.

It's strange that Li Yang and Jiang Chenggang ended up urinating in the same pot.

According to Jiang Chenggang, Li Yang did have some works before... but Blind Shaft was his first independent directorial work.

When it comes to independent, low-budget productions...

Those drinking buddies from before have all become brothers.

Not many formally trained filmmakers are willing to work with him on low-budget productions to win awards... Art films do aim for awards, but for most people, winning awards is just a pipe dream.

One to two to go.

Only Jiang Chenggang paid him any attention.

"Actually, I also think his script is pretty good, so I thought I'd show it to you and let you give it a try."

It's more than just good.

Li Yun then suggested that Jiang Chenggang take on the script and give it a try...

Blind well.

Yuan Fengming.

A simpleton.

A fool.

just.

There's someone like that right next to me.

"people".

...

Low-budget productions are commonplace these days.

Most of them will just become pirated videotapes, becoming high-volume items for DVD sellers.

In fact, Blind Shaft was born in an environment where no one had high hopes for it...

"Do you think he'd accept me as the male lead if I gave him my handsome face?"

Li Yun looked at the handsome man in the camera lens.

Gee tut.

I didn't know I was so handsome.

Wouldn't the director of Blind Shaft think it's too outstanding...?

but.

We'll wait until the time comes.

Let their acting speak for itself.

That's Li Yang.

They didn't just randomly pick any actor to appear on the show.

He also put in a lot of hard work and effort for the blind well.

It was his debut work.

They have high aspirations.

After agreeing to speak with the director of Blind Shaft.

Li Yun also began preparing for his audition for the role of Murong Fu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

...

the other side.

Zhang Da Huzi is also preparing for the audition.

As a producer.

He's been really busy lately.

Busy with various roles.

Someone asked him why someone else suddenly appeared to audition for the role of Murong Fu, since Xiuqing was clearly a good candidate.

Actually.

Zhang Da Huzi had almost completely forgotten about this matter.

Zhang Dahuzi is now more concerned about the main characters' affairs.

The current character should speak.

The confirmed characters are Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and Xu Zhu...

There are still many minor characters whose roles are open to discussion.

"You guys can decide what to do with the auditions. Whether it's Xiuqing or Li Yun, just vote and choose whoever you want."

Although Zhang Da Huzi is called a tyrant and likes to run his own show, this tendency became even more pronounced after The Condor Heroes became popular.

But one-man rule is one-man rule, and the roles he appoints cannot be changed.

The other roles are still open to discussion.

Murong Fu's Li Yun was recommended by Zhang Dahuzi, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't be replaced.

The terms "approved" and "recommended" can be considered separately.

At this moment, Zhou Liang, the chief director of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, nodded.

There were four directors in total, and he was the chief director.

Regarding the character Murong Fu.

He prefers Xiuqing.

Firstly, having worked together before makes us more familiar with each other; we had already interacted during the time of The Eagle Shooting Heroes.

Secondly, Zhou Liang couldn't think of anyone more suitable to play the role of a noble young master than Xiuqing.

He was born to do it.

She can't act in anything else.

He can play the role of a noble young master.

Zhou Liang had high hopes for Xiuqing.

of course.

This doesn't mean Zhou Liang rejected the actor recommended by Zhang Dahuzi outright. After all, the person was recommended by the executive producer, and whether he was truly talented or had his own resources, he at least had his own advantages.

Especially for those who come with their own resources, it's a cruel reality, but this is the entertainment industry, and that's just how it is.

"Alright, then you guys can discuss it when you're auditioning for the roles. I'll be leaving now; I have to go have some drinks."

"Take care, Mr. Zhang."

Zhou Liang saw Zhang Dahuzi off; he came and went in a hurry.

"Being a producer isn't easy," Assistant Director Yu Jian paused for a moment before adding, "You have to know how to direct and how to socialize."

"It's as if we directors don't need to deal with interpersonal relationships."

At this moment, Zhou Liang also spoke up.

"Don't we also need to build connections?"

"That's true."

Yu Jian didn't deny that point.

Regardless.

In this adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the main cast was carefully selected by Zhang Dahuzi.

Hu Jun, Gao Xiaohu, and Lin Zhiying are respectively Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu.

The female lead group is also stunning, ranging from innocent to mature to pretty, each with their own unique charm.

There's one thing Zhou Liang absolutely has to admire about Zhang Dahuzi: his aesthetic sense regarding women is truly exceptional.

"Wang Yuyan was a good choice, but she's too young..."

"Your name is Liu Qianqian, right? I met you when I visited the set of 'The Story of a Noble Family' before. Judging from your appearance, you are definitely a top-notch beauty... just a bit young and inexperienced."

"With that face, who needs acting skills?"

"That's true."

The two directors bantered with each other.

Everyone knows Liu Qianqian from "The Story of a Noble Family".

She is absolutely stunning in appearance.

I was captivated by her incredibly pure and innocent charm the first time I saw her.

Characters like Murong Fu.

It must be Xiuqing's.....

Mr. Xiuqing is more suitable for the role of Murong Fu.

At least the two directors share a similar view on this matter.

But as the saying goes, since Zhang Da Hu Zi has found another candidate, we still have to go along with Da Hu Zi's suggestion and go for an audition.

However, Xiuqing's audition.

He shouldn't be any worse than Li Yun, right?

after all.

Xiuqing is a veteran actress, and Li Yun's resume does indeed seem rather thin.

The only commendable thing is that he played the role of Song Qingshu in "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre," but playing Song Qingshu is not a particularly outstanding role. Moreover, "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" has not been broadcast yet, so we don't know much about Li Yun's level of acting skills.

One to two to go.

From his resume.

It also depends on how familiar you are with it.

Xiuqing was chosen to become Murong Fu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Is the best choice.

"If we were to choose the character recommended by Zhang Dahuzi, it would definitely be extremely cost-effective," Zhou Liang said with a smile.

"It's as if Xiuqing isn't good value for money these days."

"That's true."

Zhou Lianghe and others both felt that Xiuqing would definitely become a specialist in playing handsome young men in the future.

However, for actors who specialize in second-tier supporting roles, there's no point in discussing cost-effectiveness.

in fact.

The price-performance ratio of all of them is quite good...

I won't become a star.

Everyone's products offer good value for money.
