Chapter 3 Audition
As the largest investment project since the establishment of Huanrui, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has also been highly valued by the company.
Many things are checked by the founder and chairman Zhong Junyan personally. "What is the current status of the project?"

Jiang Lei is the general manager and the chief planner of the project. He said in an orderly manner: "The preparations for the project are progressing smoothly. The costumes, props and scenes have entered the final stage.
The key is the actors. The female lead, Yang Mi, has already been decided. Except for the male lead, all other roles have been decided. Filming can start in early July."

"Then everyone, tell us who should be the best male lead for "Gu Jian Qi Tan"?"

"Since this drama is to promote our company's artists, it must be selected from our company's artists,

The most suitable candidates at the moment are Lin Feng and Li Yifeng. Both of them are newcomers who have just signed contracts with the company and have very good conditions.
Lin Feng graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He previously worked at Tangren on "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", which, like "Gu Jian Qi Tan", is a fairy tale drama.
Although Li Yifeng debuted through a talent show, he has filmed many TV works, but he has never filmed a fairy tale drama. "

Jiang Lei gave a relatively objective evaluation of the two, but he was more inclined towards Lin Feng, after all, he was the one who personally recruited Lin Feng to Huanrui.

Li Yifeng's agent Dong Keyan disagreed. "Although Yifeng has never acted in a fairy tale drama, he has been in the industry for 7 years and has acted in 9 TV dramas.
Lin Feng has only starred in one TV series and lacks experience. He needs more experience. After all, this is the first big project invested and filmed by the company."

As Lin Feng's exclusive agent, Zhang Jing must be on Lin Feng's side and retorted:
"Being experienced doesn't mean having good acting skills. I haven't seen any improvement in my acting skills after so many dramas. We should give young people more opportunities."

The reason why Zhang Jing argued so hard was that, on the one hand, she was optimistic about the "Gu Jian Qi Tan" project, which had investment, IP, and a production team (all of which were poached from Tangren).

On the other hand, she also accepted Lin Feng's determination. It was the first time she saw Lin Feng so serious. At that time, Lin Feng's serious expression was a little ferocious.

"Sister Jing, there are not many opportunities in life to change your destiny. This casting will determine our fate.
We can give up everything else, including "In Color" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", we can quit.
But "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is different. This drama will be a big hit, and we must do our best to win the role of the male lead!"

Lin Feng is very familiar with the influence of "Gu Jian Qi Tan". This is a phenomenal hit that can create a "top streamer". This is Huanrui's most successful drama in recent years.
Lin Feng didn't want to miss it. There was only one chance, and the actor himself could not participate in the casting and could only rely on his own agent, so he gave many instructions.

Dong Keyan is also a senior agent of Huanrui. She didn't expect Zhang Jing to refute her face mercilessly. She was optimistic about "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and couldn't give up now:

"Our Yifeng has nearly 300 million fans. He can sing, dance, and act. He is an artist who is good at film, television, and music. Lin Feng only has 50 fans."

"If 230 million can be counted as nearly 300 million, then we can also be counted as 100 million fans. The difference is not that big.

Besides, everyone knows that fan data can be faked, otherwise 300 million fans would not be as good as 50 fans with more likes and comments.”

"We'll support you all!"

"Our Lin Feng is more popular!"

"We are Yifeng Shuai!"

"Our Lin Feng is more handsome!"

...

Seeing that both sides were arguing non-stop, the group's vice president Jia Shikai "thought the matter was not big enough" and directly suggested: "In that case, why not have an audition?" For Jia Shikai, the contract between his newly signed artist Yang Yang and Rong Xinda had not yet ended, and he was currently filming "The Four" and definitely could not participate. Neither side was his artist, so he might as well watch the two sides kill each other.

"Audition!?"

Zhang Jing has been avoiding talking about Lin Feng's acting skills because she knows about Lin Feng's acting problems.

Otherwise, if he had such a good image, why didn't they choose him as the male lead of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky"? She also hurriedly said:
"Do I need to audition for my own company's drama? Besides, won't my company be filming "Fragrance of Life" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" soon?

We withdrew from these two dramas, and we only wanted to star in the drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan", mainly because Lin Feng's image is more suitable for ancient costumes. "

At this time Dong Keyan also reacted. Although Li Yifeng's acting skills were a bit poor, it also depends on who he is compared with. Based on Lin Feng's acting level in "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", he would have been blasted into pieces.

"Yes, audition! Fair competition, let's see who has the worst acting skills, so that people who don't know will not think that someone is the best actor!"

"Sometimes a TV series is not about acting, the key is to see who fits the role well!"

"Then you should audition!"

"you!…"

Seeing that the two sides were still arguing, Chairman Zhong Junyan spoke directly.
"Stop arguing and get ready for the audition. Then call the director and editor over and choose together to see who is the right person!
Aren’t we going to take the final photos in a couple of days? We should invite the leading actress Yang Mi to come along. After all, she’s the biggest star in this play and we have to rely on her to make money. We should listen to her opinions more.”

At this time, Yang Mi was signed to Huanrui as a star studio, and her agent Zeng Jia is now the director of Huanrui Century Artist Management Department and has a lot of say.

***
When the "audition" news was confirmed, Zhang Jing panicked. It wasn't that she had no confidence in Lin Feng's acting skills, she had no confidence at all!
"We're done for this time! Mr. Zhong is a master of keeping things balanced and won't help either side. Jia Shikai, the old fox, is even more eager to make trouble. Although Mr. Jiang is in favor of us, it can't be too obvious.
By the way, we can find the director. The director of “Gu Jian Qi Tan” is Liang Shengquan, the deputy director of “Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky”. We can use his connections.
As for Yang Mi, I have met her agent Zeng Jia a few times, so I can also use her connections."

Compared to the nervous Zhang Jing, Lin Feng seemed much calmer. He comforted her confidently:

"Sister Jing, don't be nervous about the audition. Open competition is best. I also hope to defeat my opponents fairly and get the role! You have to have confidence in me. I am no longer the same person I was before!"

Seeing Lin Feng so confident, Zhang Jing felt relieved. However, she was still frightened when she thought of Lin Feng's horrible acting skills.

"Lin Feng, I can do my best to help you, and I can also ensure that there are no tricks, but this is all I can do. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself for many things!"

"I know, and I understand! You did it, everything you could do, and leave the rest to me!"
