This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

To put it bluntly, even when Sister Zheng was at the height of her popularity, they didn't take her seriously.

In Gangzi and Hu Tao's eyes, there are celebrities in the entertainment industry that they can take seriously, but Zheng Jie is definitely not one of them.

She's just a minor celebrity.

Even without Butcher Zheng, would we still eat pigs with hair on?
If Lü Ming wanted to take action against a big director, such as Zhang Yimou, Gangzi and the others might not express their support. After all, these big directors represent resources in the industry, and even Gangzi and the others would have to show them respect. For example, Gangzi and the others know about the conflict between Lü Ming and Lu Chuan, but they haven't said anything.

Lu Chuan is considered a big director in the industry, with a certain reputation and ability. Although Gangzi and Hu Tao value Lü Ming, they wouldn't deliberately offend Lu Chuan for Lü Ming's sake, since no one knows if there will be opportunities to work together in the future.

But Sister Zheng is different. She's just a celebrity. There are just too many female celebrities and artists like her in the entire entertainment industry.

Even if they offend Sister Zheng, Gangzi and Hu Tao can easily find more replacements.

"No problem, we'll inform them in a bit!"

Gangzi and Hu Tao exchanged a glance, then nodded to Lü Ming and said.

Who should play Fatty Wang?

Now that the actress playing the female lead 'Shirley Yang' has been confirmed, the only other person Gangzi and his friends can focus on is 'Fatty Wang' from the trio. As for the other supporting actors, Gangzi and his friends are too lazy to even mention them and don't care at all.

"How about we have one of those two from your company come and act? Anyone will do!"

Gangzi knew that Wang Yanlin and the others had signed with Lü Ming's studio. In addition, the two of them had gained some fame because of their previous performance in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer". The fact that they were collaborating again would certainly generate some buzz.

"Neither of them will do!"

After hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming shook his head and did not agree to Gangzi's suggestion.

As for Lü Ming, since Wang Yanlin and the other person had already signed with his studio, he would naturally prefer to keep the benefits within the family if possible.

After all, if the two of them could develop a relationship, it would also benefit Lü Ming.

However, Lü Ming also knew that the two of them were not suitable for the role.

On the one hand, both of them are developing towards becoming idol male leads, so having them play such a likable but not particularly handsome role during this period of career advancement is not a good choice.

On the other hand, Lü Ming doesn't think either of them are capable of carrying such a role.

how to say?

Their acting skills are certainly not bad compared to those young, popular actors, but they are still far behind the veteran actors in the industry.

Don't underestimate the character 'Wang Pangzi' just because he's not the male lead. He's a very important character, even more important than the female lead 'Shirley Yang' played by Gulnazar.

Therefore, the requirements for acting skills are relatively high.

Not to mention that Nazha has already been cast as the female lead in 'Shirley Yang'. With Nazha's acting skills, it would be quite good if she could perform normally. If another character drags the team down, wouldn't the entire tomb raiding trio have to rely on Lü Ming's acting skills to carry the show?
Therefore, in Lü Ming's opinion, the role of "Fatty Wang" must be played by a veteran actor with excellent acting skills.

"So, who do you want to choose?"

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Gangzi looked at Lü Ming with some doubt, wondering who he wanted to choose for the role.

You should know that they had also read the script of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" and knew that the character "Fatty Wang" was very outstanding. If he played the role well, it would be easy for him to become famous instantly.

"Zhang Songwen!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, the two of them were momentarily stunned.

The reason for this was not because Zhang Songwen was some big star, but because neither of them had ever heard of this name, nor did they even know that there was such an actor in the industry.

"Who is this?"

Gangzi looked at Lü Ming with a face full of doubt, unable to guess who this person was.
He's been in the entertainment industry for quite a few years now. While he might not know all the famous actors in the industry, most people would recognize him.

But this was the first time he had ever heard the name 'Zhang Songwen'.

Could this person be someone with connections?

Gangzi couldn't help but look at Lü Ming, wondering if this 'Zhang Songwen' had some kind of relationship with Lü Ming, just like Nazha, who was chosen by Lü Ming to play this role because of her relationship with him.

"A teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, her acting skills are truly unparalleled, I can't even compare to her now!"

Judging from their expressions, Lü Ming could roughly guess what they were thinking. He smiled and then spoke to them.

You have to understand that in the world today, the movie "Raging Storm," which will become a huge hit in the future, has not yet been released, so people know nothing about this talented actor.

However, Lü Ming knew this person's abilities; this acting teacher from the Beijing Film Academy was undoubtedly a master of acting.

Decades of honing his acting skills have made him one of the best in the entertainment industry, so playing the role of 'Fatty Wang' is absolutely no problem for him.

The most crucial point is the other person's current situation. They have never played any important roles and have mostly been playing minor roles on various film sets, so inviting them is not difficult.

Originally, Lü Ming planned to choose Li Dazui to play the role of "Wang Pangzi" just like in his previous life. After all, Li Dazui played the role of "Wang Pangzi" in the movie "Candle in the Tomb" in his previous life so vividly.

However, after Lü Ming contacted the other party, Li Dazui thought about it for a while and then reluctantly refused Lü Ming.

Li Dazui naturally knew the importance of this role, but he had no choice. He had just received a film contract and couldn't cancel it, so he had to refuse Lü Ming.

For this, Li Dazui even apologized to Lü Ming.

Lu Ming didn't say anything about this situation and didn't take it to heart at all, since he had started practicing too late.

However, after 'Li Dazui' was unable to take the role, Lü Ming began to consider other candidates. After searching for some time, he finally chose Zhang Songwen.

However, Lü Ming has not contacted the other party yet. Originally, Lü Ming planned to contact the other party to come for the audition after all these matters were settled.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Gangzi and the other man couldn't help but show some surprise.

It's important to understand that things are different now. After "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," the entertainment industry and the internet alike have witnessed Lü Ming's acting skills, and almost everyone agrees that his acting is absolutely superb. Despite his relatively young age, there aren't many actors in the industry who can match his talent. Even some of the industry's top directors have praised his acting abilities highly.

Even Lü Ming himself admitted that his acting skills were inferior to his opponent's, which surprised both of them.

Could it be yet another overlooked genius?
Or was Lü Ming joking with them?

After all, if someone has such good acting skills, how could they not be famous in the industry?

Thinking of this, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

"You two can come over in a couple of days and see how his audition went!"

Lu Ming, not paying much attention to their suspicious looks, casually addressed them.

"Well!"

"Let's come to the audition and see what kind of acting skills have impressed you so much!"

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Hu Tao said with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Gangzi and Hu Tao exchanged a few pleasantries with Lü Ming before saying goodbye and leaving. Although they wanted to have a meal with Lü Ming, they had no choice but to go.

As the heads of Kiwi and Tencent Video, they have countless jobs to do, so even finding time to talk to Lü Ming about "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was a real challenge.

After the two left, Lü Ming did not rush to leave. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Songwen's phone number, which his assistant had obtained from the middleman.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Songwen? I am Lü Ming!"

Soon after the call connected, Lü Ming spoke to Zhang Songwen on the other end of the line.

Meanwhile, in a room in Beijing, Zhang Songwen, who had just finished getting ready to go out to teach an acting class, saw a call coming in from an unknown number on his phone.

As a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Songwen has always dreamed of becoming an actor. Over the years, he has worked as an extra in many film crews, but he has never made a name for himself.

To make a living, Zhang Songwen took on part-time jobs, working as a tutor in art exam training classes, teaching students performance skills and other skills, barely managing to support himself in Beijing.

Over the years, with his roles as an extra, Zhang Songwen has become a well-known extra in the industry. His life is not as difficult as it used to be, and he no longer has to work at the training center to make a living. However, when he has free time, Zhang Songwen still likes to go there to teach some students.

When Zhang Songwen saw the unfamiliar number on his phone, he thought it was a reply to one of the resumes he had recently submitted.

As a nobody in the industry, ordinary extras like him rely entirely on submitting resumes to various film crews to see if there are any roles available. They have no chance to choose at all. So, after thinking about this, Zhang Songwen immediately picked up his phone and answered the call.

But when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, Zhang Songwen was completely stunned.

He certainly knew who Lü Ming was.

This guy is now a top male star in the entertainment industry. Even he, who doesn't pay much attention to popular celebrities, knows Lu Ming's name very well.

While others might envy Lü Ming's popularity and fame, Zhang Songwen is more concerned about Lü Ming's acting skills in the previous drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

When Zhang Songwen first saw the online comments praising Lü Ming's acting skills, he was dismissive.

He had worked with those popular young actors before and had some understanding of their acting skills, but he didn't see any acting ability in them at all.

Even those popular young actors with a little bit of acting skill are nothing special in Zhang Songwen's eyes.

However, after watching the wildly popular drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" and seeing Lü Ming's portrayal of Zhang Xianzong, Zhang Songwen was greatly surprised. He never expected that Lü Ming, a popular idol, would have such acting skills.

"I'm!"

Having been in the industry for so many years, Zhang Songwen was well aware of the power and influence that Lü Ming possessed.

It's important to know that Lü Ming is no ordinary celebrity; he's an all-around talent who can create and act in his own films. If nothing unexpected happens, he's bound to become a big shot in the industry.

While Zhang Songwen wouldn't fawn over Lü Ming, he also wouldn't offend him.

Lu Ming is a top male star in the entertainment industry, while he is just a minor actor. It's hard to imagine what Lu Ming wants from him.

Although Zhang Songwen didn't know why Lü Ming wanted to see him, he still answered honestly.

Is he planning to ask me to play a minor role?
A thought briefly surfaced in Zhang Songwen's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It's worth noting that Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is currently big news in the entire industry, and even Zhang Songwen, a minor actor, has to pay attention to it.

Anyone could see that "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was destined to be a blockbuster. Let alone playing a named role, even just a minor character with a brief appearance would be a huge temptation for many people, let alone Zhang Songwen, who is currently a nobody in the entertainment industry.

For Zhang Songwen, it would be a stroke of luck if he could play a minor role with even one line.

But Zhang Songwen also knew that this was impossible.

So even when he was sending out resumes to many companies, Zhang Songwen didn't even submit his resume to the production team of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

Yeah, I haven't submitted any resumes!

"Mr. Zhang, I was wondering if you have time for an audition in three days?"

After hearing Zhang Songwen's answer, Lü Ming on the other end of the phone nodded and said to Zhang Songwen.

Audition?

Zhang Songwen was completely dumbfounded.

It's important to know that what's called an audition is at least a supporting role; if it's just a minor extra, there's no need to use the term "audience."

After all, a minor role doesn't require an audition.

Is it a scam?
Zhang Songwen quickly recovered from his daze, a hint of doubt in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
