Chapter 245 The whole story
The casting of the three dramas produced by Rongchen Pictures has attracted the attention of thousands of people in the industry.

Even the artists under Rongchen Pictures are thinking about it the same way.

But no one expected that the two films with the largest investments, "Passengers" and "The Lost Tomb", would have no finalists.

This is of course great news for other artists.

But for the artists of Rongchen Film Company, it is not a good thing.

Sina Entertainment News

"Rumors about Rongchen Films' casting have sparked heated discussions, and they are not using their own people for the two major dramas."

"Except for Zhou Xun, netizens questioned the acting skills of all its artists."

A female artist under Li Chen.

Of course, this also includes fans of Liu Yifei, the official girlfriend.

They all came to Li Chen's blog to "denounce" Li Chen.

Li Chen himself was slow to realize that the casting issue made headlines and was questioned by fans.

Yang Siwei was already used to it, so when she arrived at Jinxiu Mingzuan and met her boss she would just smile and speak frankly.

"Boss, you don't know what's wrong with you?"

Li Chen motioned Yang Siwei to sit down: "What's wrong with me?"

Yang Siwei sat opposite Li Chen with a smile: "What is your current status in the entertainment industry?"

"It is no exaggeration to say that every move is extraordinary and extraordinary."

“Not to mention that it involves big cakes like Passengers and The Mystical Ancient City.”

"You don't care at all whether Brother Xun and Mimi will feel unfair or not."

Li Chen said with a smile: "This is something you as an agent should consider, not something I as a boss should worry about."

"These two plays are new attempts. I only choose the appropriate ones."

"Mimi and Tangtang are not considered for the time being. Their acting skills are too immature and their roles are not very suitable."

"If you're not convinced, just let the two of them audition."

"Xun is up for selection. If there is no suitable candidate, Xun will still have to play the role in Passengers. Just know this."

Yang Siwei nodded. She came here today just to test her boss's background.

"Let me ask you one more question, why is Brother Xun the candidate?"

Li Chen did not hide the truth from her: "Brother Xun's acting skills are impeccable, but his body shape is a disadvantage."

"There are a lot of swimsuit scenes in this drama, and her physical disadvantages will be infinitely magnified."

This is Li Chen’s real thought.

In "Passengers", there are several classic shots that were shot in swimsuits.

This is not a costume drama like "Painted Skin", which is wrapped tightly.

He was not afraid that Zhou Xun would not be able to perform well.

He was afraid that Zhou Xun's figure would not be impactful enough. After all, this movie could not be expected to make a profit from the domestic box office.

Ultimately, it depends on foreign copyright transactions.

The universal aesthetic of foreigners is the tall and strong foreign horse type like my cousin.

Yang Siwei knew her boss's true thoughts.

She knew how to appease a few artists.

Yang Mi waited in Yang Siwei's car for a long time before she saw her come out of Jinxiu Ming.

As soon as they got in the car, Yang Mi couldn't wait to ask, "What did the senior say?"

Nothing could be seen on Yang Siwei's face.

"Just focus on school. There are no suitable roles for you in those two plays."

Yang Mi said angrily: "Why not?"

Yang Siwei laughed and said, "If you don't give up, you can go for an audition when the time comes."

"Audition?"

Yang Siwei asked his assistant to drive.
"Mi Mi, the boss is the kind of person who won't compromise."

"If there is no suitable role for you, he will not force you into it just to give you resources."

"That would ruin the show and the people."

Yang Mi couldn't listen at all, she gritted her teeth and pursed her lips and said, "It's an audition, I want to see where I'm inferior."

Yang Siwei didn't say anything more. In fact, she had just asked her boss a question.

Mimi, Tangtang and Yifei are all actresses of the same age group.

It is inevitable that they will be compared. The tug-of-war between fans has already begun to take shape.

In the future, it is inevitable that there will be fan wars like the previous one for the Annual Fashion Artist Award.

At present, Mimi and Tangtang may not have the strength to match Yifei.

But it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

Times have changed, Tangtang is still better.

Mimi has a very strong personality and is quite ambitious.

Unexpectedly, her boss was very open-minded and only said one sentence.

All good things must come to an end. With all the beautiful women around, it all depends on their own abilities.

These words made Yang Siwei feel very disappointed.

On the day when "The Forbidden Kingdom" was released, Liu Yifei got up early, which was a rare occasion.

Li Chen went to Jinxiu Mingzuan, and Liu Yifei asked Shu Chang to go to the cinema with her.

The two men were fully armed from head to toe, wrapping themselves like mummies.

Sitting in the last row of the cinema and seeing the attendance rate of nearly 90%, Liu Yifei was very happy. After all, today was only Thursday.

Shu Chang nodded and whispered, "There are quite a lot of people here, but I don't know how many of them are here to see you."

Liu Yifei glared at Shu Chang, but Shu Chang pretended not to see it and the movie started soon.

Throughout the entire show, although there were many people watching the movie, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

There is neither the laughter nor the joy of previous Chenglong movies.

There are no screams of surprise from the thrilling fighting scenes in Li Lianjie's movies.

There are quite a few people who went to the toilet and never came back.

I'm afraid it's only Shu Chang whose silly smile from time to time is a bit irritating.

After leaving the cinema, the two heard many audience members complaining.

"What the hell is this? The Jade Emperor speaking English? Did I hear it right?"

"Journey to the West is about going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, not going to the West to learn English!"

"I came here just for Cheng Long and Li Lian Jie. Like Leo said, I came here to see the King of Kung Fu, not to see the foreigners talking nonsense."

"What a crappy movie. The only thing that makes me feel awesome is that in the movie, no matter whether it is men or women, old or young, gods or monsters, even the Jade Emperor, all speak fluent Parrot King."

Liu Yifei was so depressed that she vomited blood, and quickly got into the car with Shu Chang.

Shu Chang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at!" Liu Yifei said with a frown.

Shu Chang was overjoyed: "It's really funny, Xixi."

"Our god speaks English with a tinge of rust. I'm a top student from a foreign language college. It makes me laugh to death."

Liu Yifei stepped on the accelerator in anger, and Shu Chang's laughter stopped abruptly.

The two arrived at Jinxiu Mingzuan, and Liu Yifei walked into Li Chen's office angrily.

Seeing Liu Yifei's gloomy face, Li Chen glanced at Shu Chang who was trying to hold back his laughter.

"What's wrong? Who offended you?" Li Chen hugged Liu Yifei and pushed her to sit on the sofa.

Shu Chang laughed and said, "Brother, no one provokes her, she just gets angry at herself."

Li Chen probably understood and smiled nonchalantly: "Don't be angry, Gang Chenglong also called me, and I heard that I was in a good mood."

"I guess the attendance rate is quite high."

"The leading actors are all very happy, but you, a supporting actor, are making yourself unhappy?"

Liu Yifei was a little surprised: "Brother called you? And you're in a good mood?"

Li Chen nodded: "Yes."

Seeing Miss Liu's puzzled expression, Li Chen hugged her and said with a smile: "Ren Chenglong and Li Lianjie have been filming action scenes for so many years."

"I know everything in my head. Whether the play is good or bad, I know it before filming."

"Otherwise, a year ago, Li Lianjie would not have found a way out for himself in advance, so that domestic fans would not have too high hopes."

"This drama was made for foreigners to fulfill their early cooperation intentions."

"Otherwise, how could a magical story like the Jade Emperor speaking English, which is rare in thousands of years, be put on the big screen?"

Shu Chang's shoulders trembled when he heard this.

Liu Yifei seemed to understand a little.
