Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

"Playing this high?"

Upon seeing the song title of the new chapter in the novel, Qi Yuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, accompanied by a slight ringing in his ears. He quickly gulped down two mouthfuls of water.

He went to great lengths to lose weight in order to get roles, and his health was already weak. When he suddenly saw "Today You're Going to Marry Me," it was really hard for him to resist.

He has been reading Yu Wei's books. Recently, the plot should be about David Tao releasing a song. Don't tell me that this is his competition song?
Isn't this native a man? Using the word "marry" seems a bit inappropriate...

Qi Yuan simply opened the character image, and what came into view was still that mysterious man with slanted bangs, a typical greasy middle-aged man.

Are you going to marry me today?
Qi Yuan involuntarily conjured up an image of this "feminized version" of the selfie in his mind, and the next instant, a chill ran down his spine.

Qi Yuan, who was already feeling weak, almost fainted, but luckily Zhang Lingye knocked on the door at the crucial moment.

"The casting call for 'Dying to Survive' has begun. How's the preparation going?"

Zhang Lingye came to gather information, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Qi Yuan lying weakly on the spot.

Looking at his figure, he was no longer the spirited man he once was. At this moment, Qi Yuan's cheekbones protruded, his eye sockets were sunken, and his skin had an unhealthy bluish-white tinge.

Forget about the "patient" image required for the movie, he looks like he could play a corpse...

"Oh my god, don't die!"

Zhang Lingye strode forward and noticed that Qi Yuan was slowly sitting up while holding onto the cushion, but his body was still swaying, like a string that was stretched too tight and might break at any moment.

"Don't you dare curse me."

Qi Yuan roused himself and took another sip of water. "The auditions are going so fast. Luckily, I'm tough on myself, or I wouldn't have had enough time."

Ever since he knew that time was tight and the task was heavy, he started eating boiled vegetable leaves. Heaven rewards those who work hard.

"You're being too ruthless..."

Just as Zhang Lingye was about to say a few words of comfort to him, he suddenly glanced at the screen in Qi Yuan's hand. The abstract, unruly bangs in the photo were none other than the one Yu Wei described.

Looking at Tao Jiji's photo and recalling Qi Yuan's actions just now, Zhang Lingye's eyebrows twitched, and his gaze towards Qi Yuan became somewhat strange.

"I confirm this is their new song."

"I almost thought you'd passed out..."

Fortunately, Qi Yuan reacted quickly enough, otherwise his lifelong reputation would have been ruined, all because of Yu Wei's outrageous song.

When Qi Yuan explained the whole story, Zhang Lingye was still not convinced. He searched for a long time but couldn't find the murder weapon, and only then did he believe his explanation.

This kid must be starving. The contestant is male, but it didn't say the song was mainly about him. What if there are other collaborators?
The two quickly put this matter behind them; the public casting for "Dying to Survive" had caused a huge stir in the entertainment industry, and that was the important thing.

Since the release of this film, Fish Leap Studio has been inundated with collaboration requests, but without exception, they have all disappeared without a trace.

There was no news from Yu Wei's side, and industry insiders thought it would be postponed indefinitely. But at this critical juncture, the film suddenly began casting.

Not only that, but the production team was also finalized: Xingmou Pictures, led by Qi Yunming, the same team behind "Goodbye Mr. Loser." Upon hearing this news, the directors from other companies who had hoped to collaborate finally gave up. There was nothing they could do; what connections did he have? They could only blame themselves for not having a good daughter...

Compared to losing the film to other competitors, they could accept that Starmoo signed the film. They had no grudges against this company, so they might as well make money.

If it were any other company, making money would be even more painful than losing money.

The announcement of the open casting call also shocked the cast members.

Yu Wei ignored the job application message, thinking it was already over. They didn't expect it to be such a large-scale casting call.

In recent years, the entertainment industry has seen very few open casting calls, let alone small-scale casting calls. Leading and supporting roles are all filled by hand, and resources are predetermined.

Forget about leaks to outsiders, there aren't even enough for everyone inside. For actors without resources or connections, they often only hear the title of a drama before filming has already started.

Yu Wei's actions are not simply about giving them opportunities; they are truly about promoting a positive atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

What's wrong with letting the capable take the lead?
Therefore, apart from those who got in through connections, all the actors were grateful. If they weren't selected, they could only blame themselves for not being good enough, and had no one else to blame.

Not only the actors, but also netizens who heard the news were quite excited. Could they finally see fresh faces on the screen?

Over the years, whether it's movies or TV series, it's always the same familiar faces. Not only are casual viewers annoyed, but even fans in the entertainment industry can't stand it.

They can watch mindless idol dramas. Putting aside the plot, as long as they can ship the couples, that's fine. The problem is that it's always the same few people, like a series of couples changing trains. Who can stand that?
The film and television industry is due long ago for a wave of new faces to emerge, and they completely agree with Yu Wei's move!
Why would you disagree if it's a mutually beneficial arrangement between actors and audiences?

Of course, some people will disagree, namely the vested interests under the existing rules, as this would have a huge impact on the existing market.

If Yu Wei makes a good movie, they can turn a blind eye. A good film can't change the film and television industry, but a nationwide open casting call is a different story.

It's not that open auditions will attract a lot of newcomers, but rather that once he does that, the audience will start to get used to it and start to be critical.

Once people get used to being submissive, they won't care about what's "taken for granted." Only when the audience's bottom line is lowered can they have a market.

What if, because of Yu Wei's actions, people start to have high expectations for other film and television works?
Publicly casting for a film may not seem like a big deal, but it can shake the foundations of the film industry, which is something many people don't want to see.

Especially after seeing the actors cheering for this, they keenly sensed the crisis.

Yu Wei is trying to win people's hearts...

In the past, Yu Wei produced a constant stream of excellent works, which was how he conquered the audience. When his name became a household name, he reached his peak.

However, if they only go this far, no matter how popular Yu Wei is, he is not a threat to them. What is the comparison between someone who follows the rules and someone who makes the rules?

But now, Yu Wei is not only conquering the audience, but also setting his sights on conquering his peers, which is clearly a dangerous sign.

As a celebrity, no matter how popular he becomes, he is always alone. But once he can command a large following, he can truly challenge authority...

This kid's going to cause a huge uproar!
After realizing this, many people in the film and television industry couldn't sit still. If Yu Weizhen really planned to hold a public casting call, then his film "Dying to Survive" couldn't be made.

No matter what method is used, this film must be suppressed at all costs. (End of Chapter)
