A trace of despair flashed across Li Jing's face.
The entertainment industry could be said to be big, but it could also be said to be small.
His connections were like a net, spreading in all directions.
Although Chen Feng was just a small-time director, he was still a director. He naturally had connections and relationships. If he were to greet Li Tai, then he would definitely fail.
Li Jing knew that his words carried little weight. There was no need to consider who was more important, Chen Feng or himself.
"Yang Yue, do you really have to be so ruthless?" Li Jing looked at Yang Yue in disbelief. He knew that this woman was ruthless, but he did not expect her to be this ruthless.
"Hurry up and get lost!" Yang Yue waved her hand as if she was shooing away a fly. "You'll always be trash. That's the only way to prove that I made the right choice!"
Li Jing pursed his lips and ignored him. He lifted his leg to enter the interview venue.
Chen Feng frowned slightly. His plump body took a step forward and blocked Li Jing. "Don't you understand human language? I told you to get lost! "
Li Jing clenched his fists and his expression turned cold. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at Chen Feng. "This is not your territory. What right do you have to decide?"
A trace of fear flashed across Chen Feng's eyes, and he could not help but move to the side.
Li Jing's Kung Fu was real, so Chen Feng did not dare to face him head-on.
Seeing Li Jing enter the room, Chen Feng and Yang Yue's expressions turned cold. They said in a deep voice, "Let's go in and take a look!"
At that moment, Li Tai was sitting at the main interview table. He had a serious expression as he tested the actors who came and went.
Finally, it was Li Jing's turn.
"What role do you want to play?" Li Tai asked.
Li Jing composed himself and looked around. However, he did not see Ye Lingchen's figure and his heart was filled with despair.
However, recalling what Ye Lingchen said last night, he hardened his heart and said, "I want to act as Huo Yuanjia!"
Hua!
In an instant, everyone looked at Li Jing in shock.
Huo Yuanjia was undoubtedly the main character. Who would say that they were interviewing for the main character?
Most of the time, the important roles had already been decided internally, and the auditions were all for supporting roles.
Li Jing announced that he was going to act as Huo Yuanjia right off the bat. That was insane.
"Puchi!"
Yang Yue, who was watching the show from the side, could not help but laugh out loud. She looked at Li Jing as if she was looking at a retard.
"Did you go crazy from the shock? What right do you have to be the protagonist? Popularity? Appearance? Or money and power? "Yang Yue looked at Li Jing in disdain." You have nothing now. Is there something wrong with your brain?! "
"I relied on Kung Fu!" Li Jing gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"Hahaha, what an idiot." Chen Feng laughed heartily and walked to Li Tai's side. He looked at Li Jing mockingly, "Director Li, he's Li Jing. Back then, he wasn't willing to act on the same stage as Wu Han. Now he's a good-for-nothing."
"He's Li Jing?" Li Tai looked at Li Jing in surprise.
He was a rookie director who had only become famous in recent years. He was not very familiar with Li Jing, so he did not recognize him earlier.
"Yes, he's Li Jing!" Chen Feng thought that Li Tai looked down on Li Jing like he did, so he continued, "He's now a pest in the entertainment industry. No one dares to use him, yet he still has the cheek to audition for Huo Yuanjia's lead role. This is the biggest joke in the world. Hurry up and kick him out, lest he's an eyesore."
"So he's Li Jing. He's been banned for four to five years, right?"
"The last time I saw him, he was still picking up trash in Hengdian. He's really miserable."
"Sigh, what a pity. Who asked him to offend Wu Han?"
"I heard that even if someone wanted him to be a stunt double, it would be the dirtiest and most painful scenes!"
…
Suddenly, a wave of whispers could be heard. Everyone looked at Li Jing with gloating eyes.
This was how the entertainment industry was. There was no humanity to speak of. It was dirty and cold-blooded.
Li Jing was already used to such a phenomenon. His face was ashen and his eyes drooped. He was ready to accept the rejection.
Yang Yue glanced at the despondent Li Jing. The smugness between her eyebrows deepened.
"Very well, you've passed."
The sudden voice caused the entire place to sink into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Li Tai.
Li Jing's body trembled violently as if he was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot.
The smile on Chen Feng's face froze. He looked at Li Tai blankly, "Li … Director Li, what did you just say?"
"Huo Yuanjia's lead role is confirmed to be Li Jing!" Li Tai's voice was indifferent as he spoke unhurriedly.
This …
After receiving confirmation, everyone was even more dumbfounded. They could not figure out why Li Tai would use Li Jing.
"Director Li, perhaps I didn't make myself clear. This Li Jing offended Wu Han!" Chen Feng said awkwardly.
"Don't doubt my decision." Li Tai's attitude was firm. He looked at Chen Feng and continued, "You were the one who came looking for me. You want a role in the movie, right?"
"Yes." Chen Feng smiled apologetically. "The woman beside me is called Yang Yue. She wants to play the role of Blind Lady Yue Ci. Director Li, can you consider it?"
They came out from the interview area to greet Li Tai.
"There's no need to consider it. You can leave." Li Tai shook his head and said firmly.
"Director Li, what do you mean? We're all in the entertainment industry. Why aren't you giving me face? "Chen Feng frowned slightly.
"The candidates for Huo Yuanjia have been confirmed. We're no longer recruiting," Li Tai replied coldly.
"Li Tai, you're too much!" Anger appeared on Chen Feng's face. "This movie of yours is just to compete with Shi Lei. The preparations were rushed. You can't even recruit a heavyweight celebrity. What are you trying to show off here? I'm giving you face by sending people over! Believe it or not, I'll go look for I am Hero's crew right now! "
"Go ahead!" Li Tai said calmly.
"Alright! Just you wait! " Chen Feng took a deep breath. "I am Hero is currently the most promising movie. I'll add fuel to the fire. I want your movie to fail miserably!"
Yang Yue's face was cold as well. She looked at Li Jing arrogantly. "Li Jing, you're really something. You actually managed to curry favor with Li Tai. However, you can only be arrogant for now. Compared to I am Hero, Huo Yuanjia is definitely the worst of the worst. Your reputation will be completely ruined because of this!"
With that, the two of them walked out together.
"Director Li, you …" Li Jing finally came back to his senses. He looked at Li Tai in disbelief. Everything that happened just now was like a dream.
"Alright, say no more. Since someone promised me and recommended you, act well. Don't let us down," Li Tai said with a chuckle.
Li Jing's lips trembled. His eyes were a little moist. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he only spat out a "Mm" and nodded heavily.
Naturally, he knew who Li Tai was talking about. For Li Tai to fall out with someone else because of him, that person must have paid a huge price!
