The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 460: Who is this casting looking down on?

"Everyone is acting, I'd be pitiful if I don't! Don't listen to her, fans don't care about this kind of thing! I finally have the chance to act with Xingba, I don't want to miss it! Please, it's supposed to be me..."

Cheng Xiao pleaded in the video call.

But Xu Xing still rejected her.

"Not everyone is acting, Xiaobao. Look at Ouyang Nana, she won't act, and neither will Zhao Jinmai from our Lucky Star. I'm like your boss Du, we both hope that you can develop well, and your career is also very important to you. You can't give your fans the impression that you are in love anymore.

"You are more suitable for the image of being independent, sober and focused on your career after being hurt by a scumbag like me. I actually prefer you to be like that in public, and in fact, they don't know how sweet we are in private."

"...Oh," Cheng Xiao forced a smile and nodded, "Okay then, I'll be obedient."

It feels like Xu Xing puts her on the same level as Ouyang Nana. Ouyang Nana, who can't even compete with Zhou Jieqiong, was also the one Xu Xing liked the least when they were in a group of seven or eight people some time ago...

As for Zhao Jinmai, she was "our lucky star", and Xu Xing's words seemed to inadvertently acknowledge his relationship with Zhao Jinmai, who had not yet turned 18...

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xiao asked again.

"Then, then who will play Yu Youwei?"

"Could it be Wang Churan? We have to wait and see."

The main reason is that there are too few suitable big names in the entertainment industry. At least Wang Churan has no problem with ancient costume looks. As long as his face is pretty, book fans will also like him, even though he is small, he is pretty!

"She—oh, oh, that's right, you don't have to have a particularly good figure to film a drama."

Cheng Xiao almost blurted out: Isn’t she also Xingba’s rumored girlfriend?

Moreover, Wang Churan was involved in a dispute with Hou Minghao, so he should be a more sensitive person. However, Xu Xing felt that Wang Churan could still act in this drama.

"Yeah, her figure is not good. Xiaobao's figure is what I like most."

Xu Xing smiled.

After hearing what Xu Xing said, Cheng Xiao, who was originally a little unhappy, suddenly felt very happy and couldn't help but grinning.

"...Actually, I feel like my legs are still a little thick."

"No, I like it the most like this."

"Really?"

"Didn't you feel it before?"

"No, I feel it. But I feel like my buttocks need some more work..."

After chatting for a few more sentences, which made Cheng Xiao laugh so hard that he couldn't stop, Xu Xing hung up the video call.

Then his thighs were hit hard several times.

After a few coughs, Teacher Yang took a few deep breaths.

"You're going to suffocate me to death!"

"Didn't you insist on making trouble?"

Xu Xing slapped her little face.

Before the video call, Xu Xing asked her to go to the side and play with her phone and keep quiet.

But when she heard Cheng Xiao say that Yang Mi couldn't play the role, she got furious.

She was the first to complain.

A few more pumps.

It was not until she groaned in admission of mistake that Xu Xing turned up the power and ended this little warm-up.

"Don't let Wang Churan play the role, let me play it. Let Cheng Xiao see that only top female stars with successful careers and solid status are qualified to play whatever they want."

Teacher Yang shook her long wavy hair, threw a wink, and spoke in a lazy and enchanting voice.

It made Xu Xing laugh. Only she would say things like that. She likes to do things deliberately to create effects, and it always makes things very funny.

But Xu Xing still smiled and shook his head.

"You don't need to join in the fun. This role is just a tool. It's meaningless for you to play it."

"Why is it meaningless? Even Tong can play soy sauce for you, so why can't I? And I played soy sauce in "The Silent Truth" last year, so why can't I play soy sauce for you? I just like playing soy sauce!"

As Teacher Yang spoke, he pretended to rush into Xu Xing's arms.

Xu Xing rolled his eyes at her.

"Why are you competing with newcomers for roles? They need exposure, do you still need this kind of opportunity?"

"Yes! Of course I need you! Just fight with them!" Teacher Yang threw herself into Xu Xing's arms and rubbed her hard, "Don't let them have a chance to show their heads, so that they can't snatch you from me! I—ooh~ it hurts~ I was just joking, I'm not being disobedient~"

"This isn't a punishment. Don't you like it?"

"I like it~ The harder the better~"

"I won't let you have your wish."

"Dad still loves me~"

He hummed for a while again.

Teacher Yang, who was nestled in Xu Xing's arms, raised her head, her eyes were watery and her face was flushed.

"Then I'm going to play your older sister. Her name is Xu what?"

“Someone else has acted in it.”

"Who?"

"Gao Lu."

"…You are biased! She is older than me! Why should she be able to act and not me?"

"You are more famous than her."

"I have a better relationship with you than she does!"

"Haha~"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course you are better. But even if they agreed to let her play the role, it's just a role with only a few scenes."

"Hehehe~ Then I'll play your mother, her name is Wu Su, right? It seems that there are not many scenes? But just give me a special role. To be honest, Xu Xing, I don't want to play any other role, I just want to play this one! You know~"

“Someone else has acted in it.”

"Ah? Who???"

"Dong Xuan."

"..."

Teacher Yang opened his mouth blankly.

He slapped Xu Xing's chest fiercely.

"Call Tong Liya to me! Let me compete with her! How am I inferior to her? She is older than me? An ex-husband who hasn't officially announced the divorce yet? If I had known you liked this, I wouldn't have officially announced it!"

Snapped!
Xu Xing fought back at the same spot on her body.

"If you want to compete, wait until I finish filming "Flowering". I'm older than you, but I'm more fun than you."

“…Xu Xing!”

Teacher Yang became anxious.

Originally, she thought she was only inferior to Fan Bingbing, who shamelessly followed Xu Xing every day just to be a pet. Now Xu Xing actually said in person that she was not as fun as others...

"Why are you really angry?" Xu Xing said with a smile, gently soothing her with his hands, "It's all fun. We can learn from each other then."

"You still say the same thing in front of me, that is, you are not as good as her..." Teacher Yang muttered to himself, and suddenly looked at Xu Xing, "What else can I do? You say! But first of all, you can't be partial. Why do you want her best friend, but you don't want my best friend? Yang Ying is almost desperate waiting for you. "Today I came here, originally to ask you for a role, and then ask her for one. You can let her make any guest appearance in your play, play a corpse, a prostitute, a beggar, she is willing to play it! But you Xu Xing, you... I thought you were cruel, but it turns out you are partial!"

"My best friends are all good girls who are easy to deal with. What about your best friends? Apart from Reba, is there any easy-to-deal-with person?"

Xu Xing complained.

"I, I... Why is Yang Ying so worried? She is obsessed with you, okay? Obsessed! Will she not listen to anything you say? She is not a little girl. Will she still think about pestering you for the rest of your life?"

Teacher Yang was talking when suddenly——

"Tangtang! My ex-best friend Tangtang! You two have been filming for half a year, you must have gotten together! I - Shishi! You were hinting at Shishi! So that's how it is! You hinted at it before! Don't worry! I will definitely help you complete the task! I still keep in touch with her. Everyone knows that her husband doesn't -"

"What the hell?" Xu Xing interrupted her, "When did I ever hint at that? What the hell is this?"

"I'm anxious, really."

Teacher Yang smiled.

"..." Xu Xing was speechless, "Then let Yang Ying come over next time."

"I understand~"

Teacher Yang smiled even more proudly.

Xu Xing had no choice but to pull her head down and spank her a few more times as a lesson.

"I can't control your wild thoughts, but don't go out and cheat people under my name!"

"Well, I know, don't worry!"

Xu Xing really couldn't care less about other people's shamelessness.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng had basically decided on Li Qin for the remaining female roles. Actually, Li Yu played the original role quite well, but they wanted to use their own people. Li Qin also told Xu Xing that she must be given a role. After the audition, Xuanyuan Qingfeng felt that she was okay, so he chose her. The rest was to negotiate the salary with her company.

Princess Zhao Fengya of Suizhu was engaged to Zhou Jieqiong.

After watching her audition video with makeup on, it seems that her acting skills are much better than those of Cheng Xiao and Nazha. Although her acting skills are not particularly good, it can be seen that she really took her acting classes seriously.

Shu Xiu/Miss Fan - the combination of these two roles is a successful adaptation. This one has not been decided yet. There is no particularly suitable person to play Xu Xing. In fact, Zhang Yi performed quite well in the original role, but if we don’t use our own people, it won’t be her turn for the time being.

The person in the front row is Zhu Xudan, who was recommended by Jiaxing, because the pay Jiaxing wanted was lower than what Zhang Yishang’s company wanted.

It feels like he has evil intentions...but the pay is really low. This role has a relatively large number of lines, and it can be done for 100 million.

And the audition video performance was also pretty good.

Then there are the white fox-faced Nangong Pushe and the second sister Xu Weixiong. What Xu Xing did not expect was that within the scope of the composition topic "Xu Xing's People", Sun Man still fell in love with the good girl Aibao and the good wife Wen Yongshan, and invited them to audition.

Then, both of them had a melancholy chat with Xu Xing on WeChat, and both implicitly expressed their desire to relive the old days. I don't know if it was just a way of pretending to be nice to their roles.

But they should really try their best.

After Zhang Tianai's drama "The Princess Weiyoung", she has been unsuccessful for so many years and finally has no more resources left.

Wen Yongshan wants to develop further, but "Child's Play", which has already been filmed, may not be released until 21 years, and "Detective Chinatown 3" has also been postponed to next year's Spring Festival.

A project as big as "Snow" can at least give them a face.

They were indeed capable in their previous lives. The director, Sun Man and Mr. Qu were all quite satisfied with their audition performance, so they should be the ones to get the job in the end.

The main female roles in the first film were assigned in this way.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng's mother, this is a very distinctive role, most people wouldn't want to play it, so let's have a fair audition!

Oh, there is also a Wang Chudong. It has not been decided who will play this supporting role yet. It might be given to Hu Lianxin.

Also, Teacher Qin Lan, who I hadn't contacted for a while, suddenly said on WeChat that she also wanted to act and asked Xu Xing to assign her a role. She also said that the amount of screen time and pay were not important, just showing her face would be enough.

After much deliberation, Xu Xing recommended Zhao Yutai, the sword-maid played by Xu Fengnian's mother, to her. But she said that Xu Xing had scolded her and she would not play the role anymore.

His heart was not sincere, maybe he was just chatting with Xu Xing.

This year's epidemic has caused almost everyone to feel a lot more emotionally.

For example, Teacher Chen Qiaoen, who hadn't contacted Xu Xing for a long time, chatted with Xu Xing several times. She didn't mention any roles, but just lamented that time passed too quickly and that Xu Xing is incredibly popular now.

The remaining women who have not been assigned roles will have to wait until the second season starts filming.

For example, Chen Dulin is basically scheduled to play Xu Ying, and Reba said she wants to play Huyan Guanyin.

We’ll see then.

After the auditions at the end of April, the main roles of "In the Snow" were basically confirmed.

Among the male characters, the old men have basically not changed, mainly Wang Xianzhi was replaced by Xie Junhao, who once played the role of the Drunken Swordsman. In the previous life, the original Yu Rongguang mainly hung out with Xinli, so he played this role.

Zheng Rong invited Xie Junhao, and he accepted the offer after considering it.

What was different from the previous life was that Chen Zhibao decided to be Yan Yikuan.

Gao Weiguang, who played the original role of Partridge Whistle in last year's "The Wrath of the Gods", received wide acclaim. At the beginning of the year, "Eternal Love of Dream" was broadcast with Reba, which attracted even higher traffic. He also made a name for himself in "The Cave of Dragon Ridge", which was broadcast this month. Under the operation of Jiaxing, his Weibo reposts, likes and comments are higher than the average traffic, and he is being promoted to a "top-tier young actor".

Jiaxing only asked for 100 million for Zhu Xudan, but asked for a huge amount for Gao Weiguang. Not only did he want a higher salary, he also wanted to guarantee him more roles.

Then we replaced it with the cheaper Yan Yikuan, one of the four most handsome men in the world.

I thought about using the big fool Li Jiulin, but he was still too young, so I let him play Wu Liuding instead.

Zhao Kai used Sheng Ke, who also just wanted one role and was willing to play anything, and even recommended himself for the role of Lin Tanhua/Lu Qiantang, but in the end the role was given to Zhao Kai.

Right now, the role of Lin Tanhua is being competed for by several upcoming big names in the circle, including Tan Jianci, Cheng Yi, Xiao Zhan, etc., as well as some other roles with young faces.

Fan Chengcheng's team also contacted him and recommended the role of Pei Nanwei's stepson Zhao Xun. He said he was still considering it.

Entering May.

Suddenly, a casting list for "Snow" was circulated, and most of the roles were matched. It also stated that filming would start soon, causing a lot of discussion on the Internet.

In fact, there have been many versions of the casting leaked before, but no one believed it. No one believed it this time either, but it has become more of a hot topic than before.

The female characters are pretty similar.

Teacher Tong, Li Qin, Chen Yuqi, and Meng Ziyi are all very popular. Although Zhang Tianai has always failed, her reputation is still high. Wen Yongshan was once as famous as Tianbao. Zhou Ye and Zhang Ruonan are both young actresses with great momentum.

In addition, Lucky Star has almost "attacked with all its forces", and book fans are still complaining that it is not good enough. The fan circle has already begun to jokingly sigh: After all, Lucky Saint!

Now only Xingsheng can get such a lineup of female stars in a drama. Compared with the female characters in "Joy of Life", it is already the Starlight Plus version!
I have been told by fans of the book that Jiang Ni is the only female lead with the most screen time, while the other female characters basically just come in supporting roles. But it turns out that Xingsheng is going to hold a Weibo Night directly in the soy sauce shop!
Keep joking, why are there no Reba and Nazha? Try harder, Xingsheng!
Joking aside, sighing aside, but rationally speaking, it is basically impossible that these people are just here for cameo appearances. It feels like a version of the story that was made up by picking up actresses who have had some connection with Xingsheng.

The most fake thing is that Lucky Star Si Ya and rumored girlfriend Zhou Ye played the five maids of Xu Fengnian in Wutong Garden together. They also deliberately "pretended" to replace Zhao Jinmai with Zhou Ye in order to increase credibility.

Hou Minghao’s girlfriend Wang Churan is included in the story, so why not Cheng Xiao as well?
How could Xingsheng not avoid suspicion?
At most, Tian Xiwei, who has the lowest traffic, will play a maid!

The male casting has received mixed reviews. Xie Junhao, Yan Yikuan, He Zhonghua, Du Yuming are all people who can imagine the scene, and Hu Jun and Yang Haoyu seem to be okay as well.

But "Joy of Life" is led by Chen Daoming and Wu Gang, who just became a big hit in "In the Name of People". "Ever Night", which was previously directed by Chen Kaige for his own son, has Li Ming, Adam Cheng and Ni Dahong as the main actors.

And the world-famous star Xing Sheng's "Snow Sword"...

Is Hu Jun really a celebrity? Friends! He can only play a minor supporting role, Xiahou, in "Ever Night"!
Is it really impossible to invite Li Xuejian?
Why didn’t Hong Xixiang invite Huo Jianhua?

Yan Yikuan has been out of fashion for so long, why not invite Chen Kun?

Didn't the lucky director brag that he didn't suppress Huang Bo and had a good relationship with Huang Bo? Can't Huang Bo do that when he comes to play a guest role?
The resurgent King Oyster Mushroom-blowing Wang Baoqiang will also appear in the show. What about Wang Baoqiang?

Chen Kun, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo may be a little difficult for others.

But this is Xingsheng's play!
"Joy of Life" was a huge hit recently!

Is Xingsheng an ordinary star?

Is Zhengrong a small company?
Even if everyone comes, it would be normal to at least have someone of this level!

Who is this casting looking down upon?

It was completely fabricated by Xiao Heizi to deliberately discredit Xing Sheng!
