Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 336: The Master of Keeping Balance

Peter Lam is a man of his words. The second casting audition was indeed much more formal, and most of the people who came were well-known and powerful talents from the academy.

And it was obvious that they came well prepared and even went to the audition with makeup on.

There were not many participants, and the questions were basically multiple-choice questions with choices between two or three options. Even those who were eliminated were given good backup options, so the atmosphere on the scene was quite good.

As soon as these people came on stage, the quality of the audition was completely different. Their solid lines and control of emotions were simply not comparable to those traffic stars.

After a round of auditions, the judges discussed it and came up with a unanimous result in less than half an hour.

The undisputed first protagonist, Mei Changsu, was given to a male actor named Jiang Shangrong. He is just 30 years old but has already starred in several big dramas. He is an excellent choice in terms of both ability and experience.

He may not be earth-shatteringly handsome in appearance, but after putting on makeup, his demeanor and bearing can instantly crush those who rely solely on their looks to make a living!

The second lead, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan, was finally cast by a male actor named Lin Mao, who is tall and strong, and looks very imposing when he puts on armor.

Princess Nihuang finally chose a girl named Yang Jinxuan. When she learned that she had won, she burst into tears on the spot. Her agent tried to persuade her for a long time, but ended up crying herself.

It’s really not easy!

This Miss Yang is a rare "big guy" in the current Chinese entertainment industry. She is 1.77 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, a fairly healthy body. Unfortunately, she was born in an era where white, young and thin people are dominant, so she is often criticized for having "broad shoulders and thick waist", "broad arms and big waist", and "not like a woman".

She graduated from an orthodox art school, but she couldn't get a decent role after graduation. After five or six years of wandering around, she can only play supporting roles for those traffic stars who can't do anything...

What a coward!
If it weren't for Shanhai Film and Television's consistent reputation of "acting first", she wouldn't even dare to come for the audition, for fear that it would be another false alarm.

Now this result seems as unreal as a dream to her.

After crying for a long time, she came over accompanied by her agent to express her gratitude.

"You don't have to thank us." Li Guohua joked, "If you want to thank someone, thank Teacher Zhou. He was the one who made the final decision to choose you."

After saying that, he did not forget to secretly give Zhou Hao a look to take credit: Brother, my assist is pretty good, right?
Yang Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly bent down and stretched out her hand, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou, thank you for your trust..."

"Don't think so much." Zhou Hao stretched out his hand, shook it, and then took it back easily. "The reason why I chose you is because you are the most compatible with the role. Act well, and let's make this play and this role a classic together."

Yang Jinxuan raised her head nervously and took a look. The other person's eyes were very clear, and he didn't glance at her randomly like some old perverts...

A complex emotion gushed out from the bottom of her heart. Yang Jinxuan nodded vigorously with red eyes, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Although the unsuccessful candidates were a little disappointed, they all knew how to accept the defeat and expressed their congratulations openly.

They will most likely work together in the same crew in the future, so of course they still have to maintain a good relationship. Even if it is just to leave a good impression on Shanhai and Zhou Hao, they can't be so cold just for such a thing...

Now that all the roles have been decided, Zhou Hao feels relieved.

Except for the role of Xiao Feiliu which is still undecided, the other characters that have been selected are quite to his liking.

Through this casting, he also understood the skills of Lin Jianyue, the tea-serving master - Mei Changsu came from the Central Academy of Drama, Prince Jing came from Yanying, and Nihuang came from Shanghai Opera. In addition, there were handsome men and beautiful women from communication universities in various places. In the end, there were a few spots left for those traffic stars...

Everyone has a role to play, and no one will be offended by the main character. That night, Shanhai Films signed the contracts of several major characters, and the official blog of the crew immediately made its debut.

"Fuck, the official account has been released, does that mean they're ready to start filming?"

"OUT, no, we had news of the project being completed a long time ago, and it's already a waste of time to start filming after such a long delay."

"They must be waiting for 'The Beginning', otherwise Zhou Hao wouldn't be able to get away."

"It could also be because of the casting. This drama is much more difficult than 'The Beginning', so it must have been difficult to choose the actors."

"Wow, the drama I'm most looking forward to is finally going to start filming, Shanhai please don't let me down!"

"Expectation +1, I have been waiting for its film and television adaptation since the novel was serialized. As long as the director doesn't mess around, this movie will definitely be great!"

"Is there any need to worry about Shanhai's abilities? Just wait patiently!"

"I can't wait. Someone give me a stick and wake me up on the day when Nirvana in Fire starts airing!"

The news that the official Weibo account of "Nirvana in Fire" was launched made a group of drama fans and followers cheer, but it also made many colleagues depressed and curse.

The popularity of "The Beginning" hasn't even died down yet, and now they're starting to work on "Nirvana in Fire". You're releasing one series after another, are you going to leave us no chance of survival?
Some companies and crews even held meetings overnight to discuss the possibility of staggered travel.

The lessons of "The Legend of Yunlan" and "The Mist" are there for us, we can't run into them again!

Unless you really have no choice, you should never air your drama at the same time as Shanhai's. Not to mention that the ratings will be easily blown up, you might end up being 404-ed like the previous two...

As for metaphysics, if you believe in it, it exists!

It’s not their fault that they are timid, it’s just that “Day and Night” and “Beginning” are too fierce.

The former has been gaining ground overseas and has already made it into the top 20 of the Maifei platform's hit list.

For a Chinese TV series, this kind of achievement was unimaginable in the past!
With the popularity of this drama, Guo Chen and Zhang Yunfeng's popularity has also been rising overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, where their fame has skyrocketed!
Once upon a time, Hong Kong's police and gangster films were very popular in the mainland, creating batches of Hong Kong stars. However, now the momentum has completely reversed, Hong Kong's film and television are declining, and "Day and Night Chase" from the mainland has begun to sweep Hong Kong.

It is said that Guo Chen has received various invitations from Hong Kong to perform at various events - fan meetings, TV interviews, special guest appearances at concerts, endorsements for fashion brands, and even a spot as a judge at a beauty pageant...

Moreover, the appearance fee offered is not low, which shows how fast his popularity in Hong Kong is increasing.

Of course, this is inseparable from the hidden strength of Mr. Xie. Without his main force, "Day and Night Chase" would not have become so popular in Hong Kong so quickly.

For Zhou Hao, this is another debt of favor.

But at the moment he didn't care about these interpersonal relationships. All his energy was spent on Cao Xing's new song.

This song is the studio's first cash cow!
