“Director Zhang, what’s wrong?” Chen Hongliang couldn’t help but ask when he saw Zhang Changyi’s depressed expression.
Zhang Changyi was the latest director signed by Jun Ling Entertainment. He was responsible for directing the TV drama version of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’.
The original director of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ was Feng Ruiyu, but because the TV drama and movie versions were going to be filmed at the same time, and since Feng Ruiyu was better at directing movies, he was sent to direct the movie. Therefore, they signed a new director.
“Xiao Ailun’s agent contacted me. He hopes we can have Xiao Ailun play Zhou Ruiyu,” Zhang Changyi said with a slight frown.
“Xiao Ailun?” “Do you mean Xiao Ailun, the god of the music industry?” Chen Hongliang quickly searched for information related to Xiao Ailun in his mind.
Xiao Ailun debuted very early. It seemed he developed in the music industry when he was twelve or thirteen years old. Because of his good voice, excellent singing and dancing skills, and unique charm, he quickly accumulated a huge popularity. Now, he’d reached the pinnacle of the music world.
“Yes.” Zhang Changyi nodded.
“Isn’t he developing quite well in the music industry? Why does he want to act now?” Chen Hongliang continued to ask.
“It might be because there’s little room to develop in the music industry, so they want to move to the film industry. And ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ is the first film they want to focus on,” Zhang Changyi said.
It was precisely because of this that he was entangled in troubles. The other party wasn’t a small figure. If he refused directly, it may likely offend the other party. Even if their boss had a strong background and there was Ye Luohan too, the other party’s background wasn’t lacking either. It was best not to stir up trouble.
“How about we give Zhou Ruiyu’s role to Xiao Ailun? “He’s popular. If he plays this role, the ratings will definitely be high,” Zhang Changyi cautiously proposed.
In his opinion, Yi Chenhao was just a little actor who wasn’t very famous. Whether he or Xiao Ailun should play the protagonist, one could tell at a glance who was the better choice.
However, Zhang Changyi didn’t know that this film was invested just to support Yi Chenhao. If he was replaced, then what was the point of the TV drama? It would be better to let Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan get the higher ratings.
“We can’t. The protagonist of this TV drama cannot be changed. You can ask them if they have another role in mind, and you can give it to them. But not the protagonist. If they don’t agree, you can only reject them,” Chen Hongliang said solemnly.
Although Zhou Ruiyu didn’t understand why Jun Ling would rather offend a king for the sake of a little newcomer, since the company had decided, as the director, he could only obey orders. Fortunately, Xiao Ailun was not a willful person. Since he couldn’t get the role of Zhou Ruiyu, he took a fancy to the second male lead. And so, he was given the role of the second male lead.
The filming start date of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ was getting closer. At this time, it was Jun Ling Entertainment’s busiest time. Everyone was preparing for the filming that they were so busy their feet barely touched the ground. The most leisurely ones were probably the two big bosses. Watching their bosses show their affection at the company all day long, these single dogs who were so busy said…I really want to throw these damn men out!
It was already pitiful that we’re working overtime here all day, and as a result, you’re still showing affection and abusing us in the company. Believe it or not, we’ll call the Animal Protection Services and sue you!
The start for the filming of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ had finally arrived. The two crews originally planned to hold the filming ceremony together, but Feng Ruiyu didn’t like holding things like that. In the end, only the TV drama crew held one. The media was invited to participate.
Now the publicity for the TV drama version of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ was all online, but the movie version wasn’t even mentioned. In fact, this could be regarded as Jun Ling Entertainment’s surprise.
What netizens were most concerned about now was who were the two protagonists of the TV version of ‘The Male God Pursues Love’. Would it be the Male God and Luo Lingxing? But at the beginning of the filming ceremony, the actors came out. Everyone was still a little disappointed that Luo Lingxing and the Male God weren’t starring.
“I’ve waited for so long and finally got the news, but why aren’t Luoluo and the Male God the protagonists? I’d rather not wait if this was the news. Sob sob sob…”
“The Male God and Luoluo are also starring. Although they’re only supporting roles, I’m not entirely disappointed in this drama.”
“Is it possible to only watch the episodes Luoluo and the Male God appears in?”
“Ye Chenyi is played by Meng Lianggu. That’s not bad. God Meng is also very handsome. I think I’m still looking forward to it. However, the other protagonist seems to be a newbie. I haven’t seen him before.”
“Ever since I read the book, I’ve been looking forward to this adaptation. Now that it’s really being filmed, and after looking at the lineup of this crew, I’m a little worried. Besides God Meng and God Xiao, I don’t know anyone else. Can a cast full of newcomers really film well? Please don’t ruin the characters in my mind.”
“Hehe, you see? This is the first TV drama produced by the little prince and the Male God’s company. Do you think that just because you can act well, you can run a company well?” “With this lineup and these people, how good can the drama be? I can’t wait to see the aftereffects.”
“Some haters had swollen faces but still didn’t give up. Do you have to be beaten again and again to finally get the hint? Even if this is the lineup, I believe the little prince and his company will handle it well. If the lineup of newcomers brings a beautiful counterattack, I believe the haters won’t only have a swollen face. I’m excited to see these trolls get slapped in the future.”
“That’s right. Even if the little prince and the Male God aren’t the stars, this TV drama is still produced by the little prince and the Male God’s company. Just for this point, I’m willing to chase this drama.”
“I’ll also chase +1. Let those haters see how powerful our little prince is in all aspects. Those haters will have nothing to say.”
“Also chasing+universe ID number!”
Haters probably didn’t think much about this and just wanted to sneer at Jun Ling Entertainment, but it turned out to have the opposite affect and made those Luo-fans state they would chase this drama until the end. They really didn’t know if the fans were too united or the haters were too stupid. In short, it seemed all’s well that ends well.
“Pfft…those haters must be very vexed right now,” Xiao Ming gloated.
He was obviously standing under the stage after the filming ceremony, but he was so bored that he watched the live broadcast online. He read the online comments and couldn’t help laughing.
“They tried to take advantage but ended up worse off. They deserve it. Every time we do something, they will jump out and blab without really saying anything. They can’t remember after getting their face slapped so many times. And now they inadvertently united the collective. Serves them right,” Chen Hongliang said coolly. In fact, he was also secretly watching the reactions of the fans online.
“Enough. You’re obviously very happy, but you’re pretending to be so calm. Do you think you’re Luoluo or something?” Xiao Ming unceremoniously unmasked Chen Hongliang.
The corners of Chen Hongliang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, it curled up in the end. He really was very happy right now. Although there were a lot of haters online, having haters meant the person was getting popular. Besides, he still had a lot of fans, and they were extremely united too. Many other celebrities envied him for this fact. Therefore, he didn’t worry about those haters.
After the opening ceremony, it was time for the reporters to ask questions. After they saw the actors who played each role, they couldn’t hold back their excitement and raised the microphone to ask questions.
“Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan having smaller roles. Don’t tell me the protagonist this time aren’t these two?”
“Everyone online is most concerned about Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan’s roles. You guys are the top management within Jun Ling Entertainment, so why aren’t you the protagonists this time?”
“One of the protagonists seemed to be a new face. Are you planning on promoting this newcomer?”
“With your status and position, why are you basically playing extras? Isn’t that bad?”
The reporters handed the microphone to Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan. They ignored the director and leading actors. “The roles this time were decided through auditions. Luohan and I like our current roles very much, so I don’t feel bad. The newcomer from our company is also very good. I believe when the series starts releasing, you’ll be able to see their performance,” Luo Lingxing replied calmly.
“I heard you were the one who suggested Yi Chenhao play the leading role. Is there a reason for this?”
“I heard Yi Chenhao doesn’t have a celebrity system, so why did you choose to have him play the leading role?”
Once the reporters asked this question, everyone was stunned. They only thought Yi Chenhao was a newcomer, but they didn’t expect him to be a newcomer without a celebrity system.
At this moment, the reporters became even more crazed. One had to know that in this ear, the system represented everything. It was a destiny that couldn’t be changed. For example, it was almost impossible for those who didn’t have a celebrity system to play important roles. They didn’t expect this rule to be broken now. This decision was very bold.
“Yi Chenhao, you don’t have a celebrity system. Do you think you can play the leading role well?”
“As everyone knows, the protagonists are usually played by people with the celebrity system. After all, the system could help complete some difficult scenes. May I ask how you will deal with these scenes without the system when the time comes?”
“I…” This was the first time Yi Chenhao faced so many reporters’ questions all at once. His palms were sweaty, and he was nervous. But thinking of Luo Lingxing’s words, he tried to calm himself down and said, “Luoluo told me that as long as you have a dream, as long as you work hard to obtain that dream, even if you don’t have the corresponding system, your dream can still come true!” Yi Chenhao’s voice was firm and powerful sounding to everyone’s ears. But what stirred everyone up even more was that this was said by Luo Lingxing. Everyone pointed their microphone to Luo Lingxing. Their expressions were frenzied.
“Even three year olds know the importance of the system. Almost no one succeeds in areas outside of their system. Do you think you’re challenging tradition by doing this?’
“Can I ask if you think you don’t need a system?”
Luo Lingxing looked at the reporters who’s questions were becoming even more sharp. Without changing his expression, he said, “Yes! I don’t think it’s wise to judge someone’s qualifications and abilities just by their system. As you said, the system was there to help and assist, but it isn’t all powerful. Even if one doesn’t have a system, as long as you have good acting skills, you can still play the role well. The things the system could help with could be made up with other props or skills. In my opinion, the most important thing for an actor is their own ability, not the category of their system.”
Luo Lingxing’s words were like a thunderbolt to everyone’s hearts.
They had been instilled with this idea since childhood. The system was a necessity of life. After you awakened the system, it decided the path of your future. One didn’t go against their system, because their system could help them reach further and higher sights within their careers.
