Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

Cai Yinong has been very worried these past two days.

Before "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" has even aired, another drama, "Ballad of the Desert," has been launched. The top male and female leads are both involved, and only success is allowed.

However, trouble arose before I even turned it on.

Due to the delay in the release of "Ballad of the Desert," the originally planned second male lead withdrew from the project.

Hu Ge is causing trouble again!

During this period, he was constantly seeking a breakthrough in his acting skills, first promoting "Xuan-Yuan Sword" and then "Ballad of the Desert".

I heard that there was a vacancy for the second male lead, and Hu Ge gave up the lead role to volunteer for the role, saying that the character of the second male lead was more attractive to him.

The male lead in "Ballad of the Desert" is a young general.

Hu Ge believes she has already played similar roles, such as Long Yang in "Chinese Paladin 3".

Repeating yourself is pointless.

The second male lead in "Ballad of the Desert" has a rather tragic fate, as he is disabled and infertile.

That's good, I've never acted in one.

Many viewers who watched "Ballad of the Desert" felt a strong sense of familiarity and warmth when they saw Mei Changsu in "Nirvana in Fire".

By the way, the male lead that Lao Hu didn't want to play was called...

Huo Qubing.

Cai Yinong was very troubled, but she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to agree.

Where can I find Huo Qubing now?

She was sitting in her office sighing when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Sister K".

Gulnazar gave a flattering smile.

"It's you. What's wrong?"

Cai Yinong values ​​Gulnazar highly; otherwise, he wouldn't have cast her as Xiaoxue, a descendant of Nuwa, in "Xuan-Yuan Sword" right after signing her.

This girl has no talent for acting, and her emotional intelligence isn't great either; the only thing she has is an impeccable face.

What does it mean to be blessed with good fortune?

Please look at Gulnazar.

"That's right, Sister K."

"I heard the company rented an apartment for Jiang Jingfu nearby. Could you rent one for me too?"

"Because, because this way I'll have a place to stay, and it will be more convenient for me to come to the company next time."

Gulnazar's reasoning was somewhat weak.

Cai Yinong was puzzled.

"you?"

"Weren't you supposed to be taking classes at the Beijing Film Academy? What are you doing at the company?"

"If there's a filming opportunity, I'll go straight to the set."

"I only come to the company occasionally, and staying in a hotel is very convenient. Why would I rent an apartment?"

The entertainment industry doesn't require working in an office.

Gulnazar is a student at the Beijing Film Academy, class of 11. She filmed "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" before even registering for enrollment. Logically, she should have returned to school after filming, but in reality…

She doesn't like going to school.

Today they actually suggested renting an apartment in Shanghai.

Although Cai Yinong doesn't expect to learn any extraordinary acting skills at the Beijing Film Academy, she still needs to get her graduation certificate.

Naza used a tactical act of coquetry.

"Oh, Sister K, it's just that I live closer to the company so it's convenient for me to come see you often, isn't it?"

"Besides, it won't cost much."

"I've already chosen this one myself. The company can just rent it for me."

Cai Yinong became more and more surprised as he listened.

What the heck? You've already picked out the room number?

At that time, Gulnazar had just debuted and didn't have much money, so she asked the company to reimburse her expenses.

Money is a small matter; the person is not right.

Cai Yinong was already quite suspicious, and upon closer examination...

What does it mean that Gulnazar will live in the same neighborhood as Jiang Jingfu?

"You and Fu-zai, you two..."

"No, no, no, it's not Fu-zai."

Gulnazar shook her head frantically.

This girl is so innocent and straightforward; she confessed without being asked, which made Cai Yinong laugh.

"If it's not Fu-zai, then who is it?"

Gulnazar became coy again and could only hint at it.

"Didn't you see the photos Fu-zai posted yesterday?"

"What photo?"

With her prompting, Cai Yinong found the group photo of Jiang Jingfu working out. The three people in the photo were all celebrities who were dressed as sugar figurines. Naturally, K-sister noticed the only exception at first glance.

"Who is he?"

"Fu-zai's classmate at the Shanghai Theatre Academy is named Jiang Yang."

"An actor too? He looks familiar... Let me think... isn't that Xiang Yu?"

Cai Yinong remembered.

She recognized Jiang Yang as the newcomer who had recently clashed with Feng Shaofeng as the "toughest Xiang Yu," and that he was the same guy who starred alongside Chen Daoming in "The Legend of Chu and Han."

Oh, it was him.

Cai Yinong had absolutely nothing to do with this matter; the only reason she noticed it was because of Feng Shaofeng.

Why should we pay attention to Feng Shaofeng?

Of course, it's because of "Palace". That plagiarized drama "Scarlet Heart" is a slap in the face to K-sister and Sugar Man!

Cai Yinong was seething with hatred. From this perspective, Jiang Yang's rise to power by stepping on Feng Shaofeng was indirectly helping her vent her anger.

"Is he Fu-zai's classmate, in the same grade?"

"Yes, still my roommate."

"That must be very young."

"My first impression was good," Cai Yinong nodded approvingly.

"She's not bad looking, no wonder she managed to snag my little cabbage."

"No, who did it!"

These words made Gulnazar blush deeply; she had never seen a boss personally spread rumors about his artist.

"We just met yesterday!"

"Oh, I haven't had time yet."

Cai Yinong has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has genuine, enterprise-level understanding.

After a few lighthearted banter, her focus shifted from Gulnazar's little schemes to Jiang Yang himself.

Yes, they look so alike!

Cai Yinong searched for him and found that although none of his dramas had been broadcast, Jiang Yang had already played Xiang Yu in "The Legend of Chu and Han" and Li Yuanba in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".

Isn't this a divinely ordained Huo Qubing?

Although Huo Qubing was not known for his personal bravery in history, the dashing young general he portrayed was exactly what I and the crew of "Ballad of the Desert" had been dreaming of.

hiss!

No wonder Gulnazar couldn't resist; Cai Yinong felt his mouth was drooling.

Young girls liking pretty boys is just because they're too young.

Only someone her age could truly appreciate how alluring Jiang Yang's physique and build were...

Ahem, that's enough!

Cai Yinong extinguished a fleeting thought of romance; business had to take care of things.

"Who's this? Jiang Yang, right?"

"He's also Yan Yikuan's nephew, that's interesting."

"Tell him that we have a new drama called 'Ballad of the Desert' and we are still missing a male lead. Ask him if he is interested in auditioning at the company."

"Oh no, let's not talk about the male lead, let's talk about the second male lead."

In the novel "Ballad of the Desert," Huo Qubing is the male protagonist and the official love interest of the female protagonist.

However, now that Hu Ge has taken on the role of the original second male lead, Jiang Yang's billing will definitely be after his. In that sense, it wouldn't be wrong to call him the second male lead.

Cai Yinong said she was asking a question, but she was actually very confident. She hadn't even considered the possibility of being rejected by Jiang Yang.

Just kidding, we're sugar figurines!

We're always the ones who beg and plead to get roles in our productions, especially lead ones. We're the ones who choose the actors; when have we ever been chosen by anyone else?

What's more, Jiang Yang hasn't even had a single drama aired yet.

Giving him a chance is an honor.

Cai Yinong even seriously considered whether, if Jiang Yang played Huo Qubing, Yan Yikuan could be cast as Wei Qing in "Ballad of the Desert".

The fact that an uncle plays another uncle is also a topic of discussion.

This line of thinking is similar to Cheng Lidong's; it's true that bosses can think alike.

Jiang Yang was surprised to receive the message from Gulnazar.

"You want me to audition for Huo Qubing?"
