I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 162: "My Love from the Star" and "Descendants of the Sun"

After learning about the details of the film "Buried," Ning Hao also told him that he planned to finish the film as soon as possible and then take "Buried" to the Venice Film Festival.

This surprised Cheng Sheng greatly. "Buried" is a thriller. Would it win an award at the Venice Film Festival? Could it not even make it into the main competition?
Cheng Sheng's suspicions are normal; it's rare for someone to take a thriller to one of the three major European film festivals.

However, Cheng Sheng thought again that this film might actually have a chance to win an award, as the original film had participated in the Goya Awards in Spain.

The film was a resounding success at the Goya Awards, receiving 10 nominations and winning three awards: Best Sound, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay.

Furthermore, the film received numerous accolades, including a nomination for Best Horror Performance at the 20th MTV Movie Awards and a nomination for Best New Director at the 10th Phoenix Film Critics Association Awards.

Keep in mind that this was in 2010, and it's 2005 now. This film might actually get some unexpected success at Venice.

Ning Hao then explained that he didn't care whether the film "Buried Alive" won any awards or not. He took the film to the Venice Film Festival mainly to sell it and its overseas distribution rights.

After hearing this, Cheng Sheng realized that regardless of whether it would win an award, it would benefit the film anyway, so he immediately supported Ning Hao's approach.

The Venice Film Festival is open to participants from early August and continues until September.

It's already August, and there's not much time left for Ninghao.

Fortunately, this movie is simple, and post-production won't take too much time.

After speaking with Ning Hao, it quickly came to August 20th.

On this day, Cheng Sheng's personal studio released a message that shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Victory Studio is going to film two idol dramas.

Oh my god!
Doesn't Cheng Sheng only make movies?
How did it end up in the TV drama market?

And it's an idol drama, does that mean Cheng Sheng won't be making movies anymore?
When everyone saw the names of the directors of the two idol dramas, they breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't Cheng Sheng directing, but someone else.

In addition, both dramas held open auditions for actors.

Victory Studio also listed all the actors they wanted to select.

When female celebrities in the entertainment industry saw that the lead actress was gone, they were all extremely disappointed. But when they saw that there were no candidates for the second or third lead actress, it made those unsuccessful female artists excited.

Top-tier actresses look down on second and third female leads, but those unknown actresses or those waiting to become famous are very interested in them.

When male celebrities saw that the male lead role was pending, many male artists in the industry couldn't sit still.

Even top male celebrities have been calling Seungri's studio.

Although the directors of these two dramas are not famous, the screenwriters are very famous; the scripts were written by Cheng Sheng.

Charity event in Shanghai.

Huang Xiaoming had just won a necklace at a high price and intended to donate the proceeds to help children with cleft lips when he received a call from his company.

"What? Are you sure?"

In a corner of the auction venue, Huang Xiaoming held a phone and asked seriously.

"It's been decided. We haven't chosen a male lead yet, but the company is planning to have you give it a try," the person on the phone said.

"Okay, when will they start the preliminary selection?" Huang Xiaoming asked excitedly.

He had no resistance to acting in idol dramas; on the contrary, he was very excited.

He has always hoped to play the role of a domineering CEO in idol dramas.

Now that he has the opportunity, he certainly can't miss it, especially since it's a script written by Cheng Sheng, so the work is bound to be good.

"Victory Studio, three days from now." "Okay, I got it."

After ending the call, Huang Xiaoming did not return to the auction site. Instead, he used his phone to check the news about the two dramas released by Victory Studio.

Although Victory Studio released character announcements and listed the personalities of the characters in the two dramas, they did not release any information about the plot.

They were clearly afraid of the script being leaked.

Professor Lee, the male lead in "My Love from the Star," and Lee Shi, the male lead in "Descendants of the Sun," both have a touch of domineering CEO about them, but they are not completely traditional 'domineering CEOs'.

Huang Xiaoming was torn; he suddenly didn't know which TV series to choose.

After a long while, Huang Xiaoming turned his gaze to Professor Li, the male lead of "My Love from the Star," feeling that the role suited him well.

In Wang Jinhua's office, Fan Shuangbing had just returned from the film set, holding a piece of paper in his hand, feeling quite resentful.

"Bingbing, whether or not you want to participate in the audition is up to you," Wang Jinhua said to Fan Shuangbing.

Fan Shuangbing sneered, "Don't even think about making me a supporting character for them."

Although her opponent was Su Chang, she didn't think she would lose to him.

If Su Chang hadn't been lucky enough to star in Cheng Sheng's movie, she could never have become a top-tier actress.

She's probably still a third-tier artist, but now Orange Sky Entertainment wants her to play a supporting role for her. Doesn't that make her look inferior to Su Chang?

Su Chang is fine, but what about Da Tian Tian?
She's someone who hasn't even appeared in a single film or television drama. What makes her think she can be the female lead? She must have gotten into Cheng Sheng's bed.

Damn it, I didn't even do it, so why did she get there first?
Does Cheng Sheng like those fledglings?

"The company wants you to go so you can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Cheng Sheng," Wang Jinhua said.

Upon hearing that it was the company's opinion, Fan Shuangbing fell silent.

After following Wang Jinhua to Orange Sky Entertainment, she realized that she seemed to have been tricked.

She thought she could become the top female star of Orange Sky Entertainment, but little did she know that Orange Sky Entertainment had also signed Chen Hao at the same time, making her the top female star of Orange Sky Entertainment overnight, with more resources than she could handle.

On the contrary, she was in a bit of an awkward position at Orange Sky Entertainment. The resources she received were all ones that Chen Hao didn't want, and she wasn't given any top-tier resources. All of them were second or third female lead roles.

This made her somewhat regretful about leaving Huayi Company with Wang Jinhua.

Now they even want her to play a supporting role to Jing Tian.

She's a popular celebrity, while Da Tian Tian has virtually no fame in the industry; at most, she's just someone Cheng Sheng has high hopes for.

"Sister Hua, it's not that I don't want to go to the audition, it's just that I don't have time. I have to attend the 22nd Huabiao Awards red carpet event at the end of the month, and I'm currently filming the movie 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella.' I'm also already preparing my first solo album."

Fan Shuangbing knew she couldn't offend the company, so she could only make up an excuse to refuse.

She is indeed very busy this year, and she is not lying about that. After all, Wang Jinhua, as her agent, knows better than anyone what she has to do this year.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinhua said, "Just treat it as a formality. We'll see if you get elected or not."

"it is good."

Although she still felt some resistance, Fan Shuangbing knew that this was the best outcome.

"Sister Hua, why do you think Director Cheng would want to make an idol drama? Isn't it too embarrassing for a big-name film director like him?" Fan Shuangbing asked.
