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

"You're still quibbling!"

When Zheng Jie's boss heard what she said, he looked somewhat displeased.

Although he hadn't objected to Sister Zheng and the others trying to ride on Lü Ming's popularity and fame, the current outcome was not what he wanted to see.

It's worth noting that even without Lü Ming, Zheng Jie could have maintained her status as a second-tier actress and still made some money for the company.

But things are different now.

He clearly saw the impact of this incident on Sister Zheng. It can be said that Sister Zheng has almost lost all her audience appeal, and even her most loyal fans have begun to split. It is almost impossible for Sister Zheng to maintain her current status.

Considering the costs the company incurred, it's safe to say that they suffered a huge loss this time.

That evening, the official Weibo account for "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," created by Kiwi and Tencent Video, posted a new message announcing the cast of the series.

When netizens saw Nazha's name listed alongside Lü Ming's, they were all stunned, except for Nazha's fans.

[Nazha? The female lead? Can these two be paired together?]

[You're such a washed-up artist, are you blinded by women? How can Gulnazar possibly carry the lead role?!]

[Exactly! Nazha's acting skills are probably about the same as those of other actresses who were previously unknown. Yes, I'm saying her previous acting was terrible!]

[Dude, you're not just trying to promote your on-screen girlfriend, are you? There's no need for that. I'm a genuine drama fan, and I want to see a good show!]

[You're just jealous! My Gulnazar is the perfect choice for this role!]

[I'm totally shipping him! This flop is such a man! From today onwards, I'm a fan of this flop!]

Why? What does my Dilraba lack compared to Gulnazar? Why choose Gulnazar instead of my Dilraba?

Stop skewering them! The chicken feet are sticking out!

Many people don't quite understand why Lü Ming chose Gulnazar to play the female lead in his novel "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

After all, from any perspective, Nazha has no advantage whatsoever.

Leaving aside her acting skills, while it's not to say that any actress in the industry could easily outshine Gulnazar, almost none of the actresses vying for the lead role in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" had worse acting skills than her.

In terms of popularity, Gulnazar is only a second-tier actress right now, and she is still far from being a first-tier actress.

The only thing about Nazha that can be considered praiseworthy is her relationship with Lü Ming.

Compared to the confusion of netizens, the female celebrities and actresses in the industry were filled with envy and jealousy.

The fact that Lü Ming was able to get Nazha, a second-tier actress, to play the lead role in such a top-tier production because of his relationship with her shows that Lü Ming is a person who values ​​personal connections.

If they can also get along well with Lü Ming, they could become a couple like Gulnazar and Dilraba.

Last time it was Dilraba, this time it's Gulnazar, so what will happen next?
Besides Gulnazar, the female lead, another person who has puzzled everyone is the actor who plays the second male lead, "Fatty Wang".

Zhang Songwen?
Who is this?
Upon seeing this name, not only netizens but also celebrities in the industry were completely baffled, having no idea who this person was.

However, netizens these days are incredibly resourceful, and they quickly found out all sorts of information about Zhang Songwen, even his Weibo account.

When everyone saw the works that Zhang Songwen had previously starred in, they widened their eyes in disbelief at the information that had been revealed.

It's not that Zhang Songwen's information was particularly impressive, but rather that the information he revealed was far too simplistic.

This is just an ordinary extra!
Judging from Zhang Songwen's acting experience, he has never played any leading roles, not even the second or third male lead. He has always played ordinary supporting roles.

This ordinary extra was suddenly chosen to play the second male lead in such a top-tier production.

Could this person have gotten in through connections as well?

Countless netizens flocked to Zhang Songwen's Weibo account to ask how he was chosen by Lü Ming. In just over an hour, Zhang Songwen's Weibo followers skyrocketed from a few thousand to nearly a million, and the number continues to rise.

When Zhang Songwen saw this scene, he was completely stunned.

Although he had some guesses about how the news was leaked, he never expected it to be like this.

Just by being revealed to be playing the second male lead, "Fatty Wang," and before the show even aired or filming even started, his Weibo followers increased nearly a hundredfold.

With nearly a million Weibo followers, he could be considered to have the following among third- or second-tier male actors.

"It was Teacher Lü who saw the roles I had played before and thought I was suitable for this role, which is why she invited me!"

In response to the inquiries from netizens, Zhang Songwen briefly recounted his interactions with Lü Ming and expressed his gratitude to Lü Ming.

When they saw Zhang Songwen's explanation, the vast majority of netizens' first reaction was disbelief.

An ordinary extra suddenly becomes the second male lead in a top-tier production, and even partners with Lü Ming. Who would believe that it's only for these reasons?

There's definitely capital at work behind this!
However, the discussion quickly subsided. Lü Ming logged into his Weibo account and commented "Keep it up!" under Zhang Songwen's explanatory post.

After seeing Lü Ming's reply, Zhang Songwen's Weibo post instantly became the top trending topic, and no one doubted Zhang Songwen's explanation.

Come on!

This surprised many netizens, who wondered why Zhang Songwen had caught Lü Ming's eye. They would only find out when the story was finally released.

In the following days, discussions about the casting of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" continued, dominating Weibo's headlines. Even the news that Sister Zheng had to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract did not attract much attention.

With the casting for "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" completed, the project officially entered the subsequent filming process.

After being recommended by Lü Ming, the director was still Lu Hao, who had previously directed "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Lu Hao was very grateful for Lü Ming's recommendation and agreed immediately.

With the immense popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," director Lu Hao has also become famous overnight, becoming a rising star in the industry, and has recently been receiving numerous offers.

However, faced with a top-tier production like "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," Lu Hao found it hard to refuse. After all, if "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" were to succeed, Lu Hao would be able to firmly establish himself in the directing world. Therefore, he took the preparations for filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" very seriously.

While Lü Ming and his team were still familiarizing themselves with the script, Lu Hao led his men to Xinjiang Province to begin preliminary preparations.

"Brother Lü, is there anything else we need to prepare?"

After Lü Ming and the artists arrived at the film set, Lu Hao pointed to the pre-production work that had been prepared and asked Lü Ming for details.

Lu Hao knew Lü Ming's status in the crew; he was not just an actor, but also the big boss of the crew.

Moreover, because of his previous collaboration with Lü Ming, Lu Hao knew Lü Ming's personality, so he didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Lü Ming if there was anything else to prepare. After all, the filming scale of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was much larger than that of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer." "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" didn't require many sets, while "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" needed far more, including not only indoor scenes in the capital but also extensive desert scenes.

"You can arrange it!"

Lu Ming listened to Lu Hao's arrangements for the preparations and nodded.

This is why Lü Ming recommended Lu Hao to be the director of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City". The two had a very pleasant collaboration on "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", and Lü Ming recognized Lu Hao's work ability.

"Brother Lü!"

Lu Hao looked at the actors following behind Lü Ming, then asked Lü Ming with some curiosity, "Where's our female lead?"

Lu Hao had assumed that Nazha would come with Lü Ming, but he didn't see her behind Lü Ming, which puzzled him. After all, filming was scheduled to start tomorrow, and if the female lead wasn't there, the filming schedule would have to be changed.

"Don't worry, we should be there soon!"

Lu Ming glanced at Lu Hao and roughly guessed what he was thinking, then casually said...

No sooner had she finished speaking than a campervan pulled up to the filming location. Nazha then stepped out of the vehicle and rushed to Lü Ming's side. Ignoring the stares of those around her, she grabbed Lü Ming's arm and said excitedly, "Look, we'll have a place to rest during filming from now on! I even brought your computer with me!"

After learning that she would be filming in her hometown in Xinjiang Province, Gulnazar specially used her salary as the female lead in "Candle in the Tomb" to buy such a motorhome, hoping that Lü Ming could have a good rest during breaks in filming.

"Thank you!"

Lu Ming looked at the RV and said with a smile in his eyes.

"Let's go back to the hotel first, and start filming officially tomorrow!"

Lu Hao, who was standing to the side, quietly gave Lü Ming a thumbs up, and then led Lü Ming and the others toward a hotel not far from the filming location.

Because of the large number of crew members and actors, the crew rented an entire hotel nearby as their accommodation during filming.

After arriving at the hotel and having a simple meal, Lu Hao assigned rooms according to the actors' status and the importance of their roles in the film crew.

Apart from the male and female leads and the director, who were able to stay in single rooms, everyone else, including Zhang Songwen, the second male lead, stayed in double rooms.

dong dong dong~~~
Lu Ming had just put his luggage into his room when he heard a knock on the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Nazha standing prettily in my doorway.

"what happened?"

Lu Ming looked at Nazha at the door and thought she had encountered something, so he asked her.

"It's nothing, I just have filming tomorrow and wanted to go over some lines with you!"

Naza glanced outside, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she darted into Lü Ming's room, took off her coat to reveal a sexy yet playful T-shirt underneath, and plopped down on Lü Ming's bed.

The claim of acting together was just an excuse for Nazha.

Since her last tryst with Lü Ming, she hadn't been able to confide in him for several days. This was a rare opportunity to be alone, and Nazha didn't want to waste it.

Therefore, Nazha specially washed herself and came to find Lü Ming.

"Oh!"

After hearing Nazha's words, Lü Ming nodded very seriously and said, "We should really rehearse the scenes!"

After saying that, he took out the script and placed it in front of Nazha, saying to her, "Come on, let's rehearse our lines!"

Are they really acting together?

Naza didn't come here just to rehearse a scene; otherwise, she wouldn't have showered herself so nicely. She originally planned to spend a wonderful night with Lü Ming, but Lü Ming was so oblivious to her feelings, so she could only pout and rehearse with him.

"You can't do that!"

"Your attitude is very problematic!"

"No, what's with that expression? You should look like this... or like this again."

Naza quickly succumbed to Lü Ming's seriousness and had no choice but to obediently act alongside him.

"Alright, that's almost all correct. You still need to keep working hard!"

After briefly reviewing the scenes to be filmed tomorrow, Lü Ming looked at Nazha with great satisfaction, pleased with her diligent learning attitude.

"Teacher, may I leave now?"

Having just finished filming, Nazha was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and looked at Lü Ming with a helpless expression.

"Walk?"

"Where are you going? Have you paid your tuition yet?"

While Nazha looked on in confusion, Lü Ming picked her up from the chair and threw her onto the bed.

"Teacher, no!"

"The students will never dare to do it again!"

Naza looked up at Lü Ming with seductive eyes, her gaze slightly provocative. She casually took off her T-shirt, and then Lü Ming pressed down on her.

A speechless night!
The next morning, when the sun shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, Nazha groggily opened her eyes.

"woke up?"

As soon as Nazha opened her eyes, she saw that Lü Ming was already dressed and standing in front of her.

"What time is it?"

Naza asked Lü Ming in a daze.

"It's almost nine o'clock!"

Lu Ming glanced at his phone and said to Nazha.

"It's over, it's over!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Nazha jumped out of bed, quickly picked up her clothes scattered on the floor, and put them on. (End of Chapter)
