Words:876Update:22/06/17 17:54:48
The director of 'Lethal Beauty' was Gu Xiaoyang, an experienced director in the film industry. During the preparation stage, other than the few 'connections' the investors had placed in the team, he had sent a group of messages to the few female leads he had in mind.
Alas, Yun Shishi was not among the five names listed.
As a newcomer, her movie had not yet been released, so Gu Xiaoyang did not have a deep impression of her.
He only knew that this newcomer had good potential, but she was not special enough for him to personally invite her.
Among the five, Lin Zhi was one, and Han Yuyan was the other.
Out of the five female stars, four of them were under Huanyu.
As an entertainment empire, Huanyu had many big names under its banner, and the flowers were flourishing and blooming.
Three of the four top female stars in the film industry were from Huanyu, which showed Huanyu's influence.
Inviting Huanyu's artists to be the female lead candidate was tacitly approved by Chengguang Entertainment as the investor.
On the surface, it seemed very selfless, but when Ji Lin heard the news, he was furious.
Was this a blatant attempt to win fans?!
First, they used Huanyu's artists to hype up the show. Then, when it came to the final selection, they would choose their own artists.
Not only did they hype up the show, but they could also use Huanyu's A-list female stars to hype up their artists. Wasn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Chengguang's method was quite scheming.
But so what if they knew it was a blatant attempt to win fans?
A show was a good one. Even if the chances were slim, they had to seize every opportunity.
When Qin Zhou found out that the show was about to be filmed, he immediately asked Gu Xiaoyang to meet him. He threw him an olive branch and went straight to the point, recommending Yun Shishi.
Qin Zhou had a lot of connections in the industry and had a good relationship with Gu Xiaoyang.
Because he had spoken, Gu Xiaoyang gave Yun Shishi the opportunity to audition.
Even if it was just an audition, the chances were slim, but it was still not easy to come by.
As for whether she could be chosen, Qin Zhou did not have much confidence. He even guessed that the show was tailor-made to promote Lin Zhi.
After listening to his detailed analysis, Yun Shishi was a little disappointed. "I think it's more than slim. It's impossible. Lin Zhi is an artist from Chengguang. How could Chengguang choose an artist from Huanyu as the female lead? "
"That's a big blow to your morale?" Qin Zhou smiled playfully and cast a sidelong glance at her. "Shishi, pick up your fighting spirit! The chances are slim, but it's not hopeless. "
"I'm a bit curious."
"What are you curious about?"
Yun Shishi asked, "Since this drama is a popular IP, why didn't Huanyu buy the adaptation rights of this novel?"
"Shishi, some things are not as simple as you think. The benefits involved were very deep. Moreover, one of the reasons why Huanyu didn't get the rights to this drama was because Huanyu's recent focus was on the movie IP. Most of the funds were invested in the movie script. Recently, Huanyu bought a tomb raiding IP and is about to start filming. Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to join the cast, but after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to let you audition for 'Lethal Beauty'. "
Qin Zhou also carefully read the tomb raiding script.
This drama was based on the famous tomb raiding novel, "Strange Tomb".
The theme of tomb raiding was very popular.
