After a moment of dead silence, the entire venue suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Fang Zhao?"
"Which Fang Zhao? Who is this guy? "
"Is it really that Fang Zhao from Yanzhou?"
"How could it be this fellow?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "
Many glares flew forward, wishing they could smash the big screen in front of them.
If it had been any other candidate, they would have accepted it. But Fang Zhao?
A complete novice who wasn't even an actor, and now they were letting him take on the leading role? Could he?!
Why should such an important role be given to him?!
No way!
Protest!
"Roman! This guy is no good! "someone shouted.
Roman was in no hurry. "He has the highest number of votes. Why can't he be?"
"But he has never acted before!"
"He has been an eye model before. He has acting talent and ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get so many votes, right?"
"Eye models don't count! What about works? Awards? What about qualifications? Someone who can't even be considered an actor, and you let him take on such an important role? "
"That doesn't matter. He can learn, and I can teach."
"There's no time for him to slowly learn. When will he be able to..." Halfway through, they stopped.
Couldn't learn? How could he squeeze out the other eight candidates if he couldn't learn?
The voting results were still hanging on the screen.
"In any case... in any case, it's not safe!" Some people were unconvinced.
"Roman, you are crazy again!"
"I think you are tired of your position as head director!"
Hearing these criticisms, Roman let out a long sigh and lamented, "You all know that I am a very principled person. I only choose the most suitable actor, and in my opinion, he is the most suitable."
Roman didn't pay any more attention to them. Instead, he calmly faced the Committee of 100 and asked, "Old General Renault, do you have any objections to this result?"
Sitting in the first row was the retired Old General Renault, the father of the Leizhou governor. This time, he had also obtained voting rights. One could see how much this old man valued this film project.
And in the voting just now, Old General Renault had cast his vote for Number Seven.
Hearing Roman's question, the calm and composed Old General Renault calmly spat out a single word. "None."
"Teacher Gao Deng?" Roman once again looked at the silver-haired old artist in the first row, the winner of the World Award.
"None." The old man chuckled. He also voted for Number 7.
In his opinion, the previous few candidates had either overplayed their roles by killing a chicken and killed a tiger, or killed the tiger as easily as stepping on an ant. Only Number Seven was the most natural, and the acting was just right. He had only voted for the one that he was most satisfied with. Even though the truth was a little shocking, he still accepted it calmly.
"Brother Delai?" Roman looked at the third person.
"Sigh, so be it. He is indeed the best actor."
"Professor Li?"
"I won't! This young man's acting is quite good. "
"Minister Toma?"
"I think … we should give the young people a chance." Even if he was beaten to death, he would not admit that he was blind.
"Teacher Viga?"
"I don't doubt his acting skills, but I don't know much about the rest. After all, this is the person you recommended. I only have one question."
"Please go ahead." Roman's tone was somewhat respectful. This was his elective teacher when he was in university.
"Can he keep up with the progress?"
"Yes! The moment I find out that he is a burden to the cast, I will kick him out myself and solve the cast's problems. "
"Since you have already thought it through, then I have nothing more to say."
Roman looked at the Yanzhou Wu family representative. "Mr. Wu?"
The Wu family representative's main focus today was to review the role of "Wu Yan," but he also had to keep an eye on the role of "Fang Zhao."
The Wu family representative who had voting rights was not satisfied with the results. A youngster without any qualifications actually wanted to fight for the role of "Fang Zhao?" That was simply a pipe dream!
But thinking about it, it was not impossible. The other few candidates, even if they were not first-rate, were still first-rate actors with great influence in their respective continents. They had deep foundations.
For the role of "Fang Zhao," if the actor's influence was too strong, the Wu family would feel uncomfortable.
The Wu family also had people in the entertainment circle and were very experienced with the entertainment circle's public opinion. A tragic character like "Fang Zhao" could easily trigger public opinion online. If the acting was too good or too deep, the Wu family would be embarrassed. After all, during the Founding Era, the Great General of Yanzhou was Wu Yan and not Fang Zhao, who had passed away earlier.
Rather than letting an old actor with deep foundations portray the role of "Fang Zhao," it was better to let a newcomer act. The current situation was instead the best choice.
After thinking it through, the Wu family representative did not object.
"We respect the voting results."
The biggest obstacle for the Yanzhou Wu family was gone.
Following Roman's inquiry, the discussions in the venue became softer and softer.
These big shots had expressed no objections. What else could they say? Could they let these big shots eat back the votes they had spat out? Swallow back the words they had said?
They did not dare!
And those who had abstained expressed that they did not support this result, but they did not object either. Their meaning was: Regarding this matter, do as you please. I don't care anymore!
Besides those from the military, there were also a number of veteran artists from the film industry who had voted for Fang Zhao. Thus, in the face of all sorts of doubts, Roman was confident and not anxious. He was also not worried that these protestors would go out and spout nonsense. They were all smart people and knew what to say when they went out.
In this way, the results could not be changed.
Roman smiled complacently in his heart. Really not disappointing! Taking this risk was not in vain!
This little fellow, Fang Zhao, has popularity.
Ability?
The voting results were proof.
Skill?
Very good! Reportedly, it was a special grade.
In addition to these audition videos and his understanding of Fang Zhao during this period of time, Roman was looking forward to Fang Zhao's performance in the movie.
"What is 25 years old?" someone in the venue lamented softly.
For the 100-person group with an average age of 120 …
"He is still a child!"
Letting such a young person act as "Fang Zhao," could he really act well?
After that, the venue continued with the voting for the two more important roles. With the blow of the "Fang Zhao" incident, this time, the voting was much more cautious, especially on guard against those who were difficult to recognize. They were afraid that the same situation as Fang Zhao would happen again.
Even those who had voted for Fang Zhao had some regrets after finding out the truth. Fang Zhao was too insecure as a newcomer. If his performance in the movie was not good, then they, the voters, would be blind and would be attacked by comments.
Luckily, the candidates for the last two roles were all familiar faces. Roman himself only dared to take this risk once. How would he dare to play with his heart every time? He still did not want to move from his position as head director.
And just as the voting for the last two roles continued, on social media platforms, Yanzhou's paparazzi king, entertainment reporter Wang Tie, posted a new piece of news:
"The role of 'Fang Zhao' in 'Founding Era' has been confirmed. It is someone you will never expect ~ ~ Everyone, guess who it is …"
Wang Tie posted nine pictures in a row. The nine stars in the nine pictures were the nine candidates who had been selected for the role of "Fang Zhao." That "yo" and the ecstatic wavy lines showed how much Wang Tie's mood was rippling at the moment.
It had to be said that Wang Tie indeed had his valiant information network. He had gotten the news almost as soon as the Huangzhou side had confirmed the role. He had found out even earlier than Fang Zhao.
However, Wang Tie also understood that Fang Zhao had yet to officially sign a contract to join the cast, so he couldn't make too much of a fuss. He could use this opportunity to rake in some money and sell some information. As long as he controlled the situation, nothing would happen. Otherwise, if he made too much of a fuss and ruined the contract that Fang Zhao was about to secure, Silver Wing would not let them off so easily, let alone Fang Zhao knocking on their door to block them.
As an entertainment reporter who had survived to this day, Wang Tie still knew how to survive in a tight space.
If the cast and crew had not signed a contract, the news would not be made public, and the people participating in the meeting would not go around spouting nonsense. Wang Tie could still sell the information for some money.
However, Wang Tie also knew how to whet people's appetites. Nine pictures, nine stars. The other eight were all veteran actors. No matter which one it was, it was within expectations. Only Fang Zhao in the seventh picture was different.
The background of the picture was a cruise ship, and the words "Teasandsea No. 9" could be clearly seen.
When many people saw Wang Tie's post online, there was an uproar.
"Does Old Wang mean that he has chosen Fang Zhao?"
"I have thought about it. Of these nine, the most unexpected one is really Fang Zhao!"
"He is really going to let Fang Zhao play 'Fang Zhao'? Wasn't it said to be a joke? "
"Bullsh * t!"
"Bluff, keep bluffing."
"Why choose him? Because they look alike? "
"I have completely lost all hope in this world of looks!"
"Bullsh * t! There are plenty of people who look more alike than him. I feel that it is because they share the same name. "
"That's even more ridiculous! Does he really think that he can do whatever he wants with this name?! "
"This series has an epic background, not a comedy! Is it really okay to let a little fresh meat play this role?! "
"If this is true, I deeply suspect that there is some shady plot behind this!"
"Can such a delicate guy act as an old soldier who has experienced the vicissitudes of life?"
"Fang Zhao also came from the military. He is no worse than anyone else!" Fang Zhao supporters retorted.
"That's not the same thing! As the old saying goes, different professions are worlds apart. Fang Zhao has crossed the line too far! Furthermore, his age and qualifications are there. Why would they choose him? "
"My Zhao God is really omnipotent!" A certain brainless fan was so excited that his brain was no longer logical.
"Don't worry about your balls if you take too big a step!" someone said sourly.
At the same time, the fake fresh meat Fang Zhao was also bombarded with phone calls. There were friends and family, as well as actors from the same company that he had never contacted before. All of them were asking if he had really been chosen.
Fang Zhao's reply was, "I haven't received the notification yet."
Now, these people were so smart. Fang Zhao's "I haven't received the notification yet" meant that what Wang Tie had said was the truth. It was just that he had not been notified yet.
After seeing Wang Tie's post, Duan Qianji had already found out the voting results through her own channels and informed Fang Zhao of the matter. She specially reminded Fang Zhao, "Don't worry about the movements online. The company's public relations team is here. What you need to do now is prepare to join the cast!"
"Shen Wei, focus on guiding Fang Zhao during this period," Duan Qianji instructed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"
When she had found out the voting results, Shen Wei had looked at Fang Zhao with envy and disappointment. She had all sorts of feelings in her heart. But after waking up, Shen Wei suddenly felt a sense of mission.
