Chapter 105: The world is turned upside down. Actors: Come out and grab the roles!

Weibo.

"Oh my god, you are so productive! Two TV series?! Go! Make more if you like it! It would be better if you can add some explosive theme songs! Especially for The Chinese Paladin, there are too few good ancient style songs now! I believe you can do it!"

"When I saw that the screenwriter was Cheng Cheng, I knew it was a sure thing. The quality is guaranteed! I have to follow it now!"

"I hope they don't choose some young and handsome actors. There are many talented actors who need opportunities. I recommend Zhang Zuocheng. Please save him. He works really hard!"

"Ah, Cheng Cheng, look at my brother too. His name is Ke Yan. He is a really hard-working actor. He has acted in several dramas, including "Young Man", "Gorgeous Costumes", and "If I Don't Chase You, I'm Doomed". Although he is not a big star, his acting skills have always been online!"

"Brother Frog is awesome!"

“The first surprise after the New Year!”

“When I saw that Frog was going to be filming a TV series, I knew this year wouldn’t be boring!”

“#Cheng Cheng makes another big move# Every time Brother Frog edits the entries for us, he is so gentle, it makes me cry!”

"Wait! The cost is 4.5 million? Did I see it wrong? This is too exaggerated. Such a high production cost?"

"The production cost is so high! It's so luxurious! In recent years, there seems to be no TV series with a cost of more than 100 million. As expected of a movie director, he is so generous! So bold!"

"It's a fairy tale drama! 4.5 million is probably to maximize the cost, right? I can only say that with this sincerity, I will definitely follow this drama!"

"It's over, he's going to redefine TV dramas again!"

"I support giving the TV drama industry a little shock. There are not many good TV dramas now."

A film and television company.

"Both of these dramas are Cheng Cheng's work. Judging from "All or Nothing" and "A Little Thing Called First Love", the quality is definitely guaranteed. Cheng Cheng is now a golden signboard. We must fight for the role. This is our chance to turn things around!"

"Understood. I will contact Shinhwa Company right away to see what their specific casting requirements are."

"It's best to make targeted preparations. If that doesn't work, send the resumes of all the artists in our company over!"

A studio.

"Mr. Ma, you have a wide network of contacts. I don't think you can contact Cheng Cheng, or anyone at Shinhwa, to arrange a meeting. It's too risky to just submit your resume online. There must be too many people vying for the role!"

"I will try my best to prepare all the information, including the works you have starred in and the awards you have won. We want to show our strength in all aspects."

A certain film and television base, film set.

After a certain artist finished a scene, he saw the phone handed to him by his agent and said quickly:
"Hiss, two dramas are casting?! Brother Zhang, please help me get one, I want to try."

"You have both the talent and popularity, but this is Cheng Cheng's drama, so the competition for casting is definitely very fierce. You have to be mentally prepared. After all, Cheng Cheng has made one or two second-tier stars and several third-tier stars in his two movies, and has made a large number of people famous. He is the most talented director in the industry right now, and many people in and outside the industry are watching him!"

"I understand. I just need to fight for an interview opportunity! Opportunities are something that can be fought for. Both of Cheng Cheng's movies were box office successes and received great reviews. If I can be chosen by him, my status might reach a new level!"

A cell phone call.

"Uncle, I saw Cheng Cheng was filming a TV series, and I want a role."

"Oh? Really? That's great! This shows that Xiaoxi is very ambitious. However, Cheng Cheng is filming two dramas this time. Which one do you like better, Xiaoxi? Uncle will ask for it for you."

"I want to act in The Chinese Paladin. I don't really like comedies. Those kinds of giggling dramas don't have any substance! And The Chinese Paladin cost a lot, 4.5 million! It will definitely have a bigger impact than Love Apartment."

"The Chinese Paladin, okay, Xiaoxi, just wait for the good news. Don't worry, with your uncle's help, it won't be easy for you to get a role."

"Thank you uncle, you are the best!"

Teikyo Film Academy.

"Have you heard? Cheng Cheng is going to shoot two TV series at once. According to his previous two movies, he likes to use newcomers and amateurs. Maybe we have a chance this time? Will you submit your resume? I will definitely submit it!"

"Of course I will! It's such a great opportunity, and it doesn't take much effort to submit a resume. What if I get selected?"

"That's what I mean. If we're chosen, we'll soar to the sky!"

"Well, should we ask our alumni to help us with this?"

"Are you talking about Yan Gou'er?"

"Yes, after all, she was promoted by Cheng Cheng, so she can have a say with Cheng Cheng, right?"

"The problem is that Yan Gou'er is now a second-tier player. Is he willing to pay attention to us?"

"Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask!"

"That's true!"

A modeling agency.

"I want to go and see Cheng Cheng's casting this time too!"

"That's right, there's no reason why Lin Yin can do it but we can't!"

The whole circle and outside the circle were turned upside down because of Cheng Cheng’s Weibo post!

Because whether it is launching two TV series in a row, or publicly casting, or the 4.5 million yuan cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is too explosive! It is too shocking!

Countless actors are eager to take action, and countless talent agencies are vying for the roles. Everyone knows that the roles in these two dramas will probably become the hottest acting resources released this year. Whoever can successfully play them will have the opportunity to soar to the top.

For ordinary people, it is a long step to becoming a god.

After all, Cheng Cheng is one of the few directors in the entire entertainment industry who is willing to give opportunities to amateurs.

-

In the next few days, almost every Shinhwa employee received calls from various parties inquiring about the casting of the two new dramas, not to mention key figures such as Beret, Wen Lian, Yan Gou'er, and Li Zhuo. One can imagine the pressure they were under!

There were even calls to Cheng Cheng's cell phone.

The company's mailbox was filled up, and the company's telephone lines were almost blown up. The employees in charge of answering the phone were extremely busy, answering the phone and recording various information at the same time.

This gives the artists under Shinhwa an infinite sense of superiority!
After all, the roles that suit them have already been arranged for them, so they don't have to beg for a role like other artists outside.

-

In the office, Li Zhuo looked a little tired. Her phone had hardly stopped ringing in the past few days. She received calls from all sides one after another, some of which she could not easily ignore.

Li Zhuo reported: "Boss Cheng, as of today, we have received a total of 13,000 resumes. After preliminary screening, 2,500 of them meet the requirements. But based on the current trend, conservatively estimated, we should receive another 2,000 to 3,000 resumes today and tomorrow."

Cheng Cheng nodded. He had underestimated the influence of this casting. He didn’t expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

He said: "I sent a Weibo post using the company account, announcing that the deadline for collecting resumes is tomorrow, notifying the interview location, and that the interview will start in a week."

Li Zhuo nodded quickly and took note, but then hesitantly said:
"Boss Cheng, I received some calls. Some of the more important people wanted to play roles. I have rejected all the requests I could, but these are really hard to refuse. What do you think I should do?"

Cheng Cheng asked: "What are their identities?"

Li Zhuo handed the tablet to Cheng Cheng, on which were the names of these "important" people and the people they were trying to block.

Cheng Cheng scanned it quickly and his eyes lingered on the name for a moment.

Above them are the leaders of Tianying, the vice president of one of the three major video platforms, the director of a TV station, and even the youngest son of a domestic real estate leader.

All of these names are heavyweights in the industry and business community. No wonder Li Zhuo felt unable to refuse.

Cheng Cheng handed the notebook back and said calmly:
"They are all servile people. It is because of these people who only know how to pursue their own interests and have no principles that ordinary people are squeezed out of their living space and the entertainment industry has become a plaything of the privileged class! Do they think that everyone will be afraid of their power and try to cover up everything with one hand?"

Li Zhuo looked at Cheng Cheng worriedly: "Boss Cheng, should we reject all of them? We can't afford to offend so many people! We may encounter resistance in the filming and release of our TV series."

Cheng Cheng snorted, "Just because others can't afford to offend doesn't mean I can afford to offend them!"

President Cheng is indeed President Cheng. She knew that President Cheng was not the type to compromise.

and many more!

Something seems wrong
Just because others can’t afford to offend them doesn’t mean I can afford to offend them too?

Li Zhuo tilted her head, wondering if she had heard it wrong, and asked tentatively: "Boss Cheng, did you say it the other way around?"

"No." Cheng Cheng said arrogantly, "I just can't afford to offend you!"

Li Zhuo: “Ah?”

So what about those big words you said?

She asked, "What about the few people they crammed in?"

Cheng Cheng: "I'll take it all."

Li Zhuo confirmed: "Really?"

Cheng Cheng: “Really.”

Li Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief at first. She had thought she would be happy after solving a difficult problem, but she felt nothing like that. She even felt a little sad:

Mr. Cheng should be a proud person, a person who will never compromise or give in for his ideals and principles. He must be very sad inside for making such a choice, right?

Damn reality!
At this moment, she really wanted to press Cheng Cheng into her arms and say to him softly, "It's okay, it's not your fault, just cry in your sister's arms~ Cry, cry, sister is always here~ Sister is always with you~", and then when Cheng Cheng cried and couldn't speak, she wiped the tears from his cheeks and kissed his forehead. If he wanted her to sit on him, she would not refuse, after all, the injured person is the most important; if he closed the office door and showed an aggressive look, she would think about it and show a fearless spirit and sacrifice herself.
As she thought about it, her body started to heat up.
Cheng Cheng looked at Li Zhuo, who was twisting his body in a trance and didn't know what he was doing. He asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Zhuo was awakened: "Ah? Ah! No!"

Cheng Cheng said: "Okay, then go and arrange it."

"Okay." Li Zhuo turned around and left reluctantly.
Don't you really need my comfort?
After Li Zhuo left, Cheng Cheng continued to work at his desk.

There are some things he didn't elaborate on:

Accepting everything does not mean giving them a role.

For those who have good acting skills, good attitude, and fit the image, he will really consider arranging a role for them, but if they are overbearing, arrogant and rude, have no acting skills and no attitude, he will arrange empty roles for them.

You want a role? Sure!

Then you just act in the void! Act without saying a word!

They will be in the TV series promotions, in the opening song, and in the behind-the-scenes footage, but they will not be in the main film. Once the main film is released, it will be a complete supurise.

They will surely be very surprised~
I believe the people behind them will also be very surprised~
