Chapter 81 Casting
Chapter 81 Casting
Wang Xiaoshuang was relatively easy to deal with, but the two top actresses who were on par with Zhen Liang were not so easy to handle.
Zhen Liang, a top-tier female celebrity, fought her way up, and she has no idea how many enemies she has along the way.
Perfect match, competitors are enemies!
Especially other actresses of the same type and level, they are even more of an enemy.
Zhen Liang has two formidable rivals, both top-tier actresses. One is named Bai Qiuqi, and the other is named Qi Zhen.
These two may not be as beautiful as Zhen Liang, but in terms of acting skills, they can easily surpass Zhen Liang.
It's not that Zhen Liang's acting is bad!
Rather, these two actresses are better at acting than Zhen Liang.
Especially Qi Zhen's acting skills can be described as superb.
Of course, Qi Zhen also had her own pride, and she directly approached Wang Xiaohao to audition.
When Wang Xiaohao awkwardly said to Qi Zhen, "Miss Qi's acting skills are absolutely no problem!"
However, romance films don't require particularly good acting skills!
Furthermore, the female lead has already been chosen and cannot be changed. I'm sorry!
So Qi Zhen left gracefully.
On the contrary, Bai Qiuqi was different. She was like a leech, sticking to the female lead and determined to steal her away from Zhen Liang.
She and Zhen Liang had the deepest grudge; they were rivals all along. They were the kind of bitter enemies who would be happy even while eating porridge if Zhen Liang was unhappy!
She not only wanted to steal Zhen Liang's role, but more importantly, she wanted to ruin Zhen Liang's opportunities.
Even though Wang Xiaohao explicitly refused, Bai Qiuqi still wouldn't let go of her.
Zhen Liang was so angry that her chest hurt, and she argued with Bai Qiuqi several times.
On one occasion, the two almost came to blows in the coffee shop.
The incident was captured by reporters, who then created a spur-of-the-moment headline, something like, "Two leading actresses nearly came to blows in the street over a mysterious man!"
It has to be said that their naming skills are far inferior to those of the paparazzi in Hong Kong.
The ones with 72-hour sieges and zero-wave ribs are the real jokes!
This title is too bland!
In fact, as one of the investors and producers, Zhen Liang holds a 20% share of the entire project. No one else could take away Zhen Liang's leading role.
Even so, Bai Qiuqi was still willing to deliberately disgust Zhen Liang!
Even knowing that he couldn't steal Zhen Liang's leading role, he still wanted to make things difficult for her.
Intentionally provoking Zhen Liang!
This made Wang Xiaohao secretly sigh, "The war between women is truly terrifying!"
Fortunately, it's only Zhen Liang who's truly troubled by this.
Wang Xiaohao himself is fine and continues to complete the casting work.
Zhen Liang is currently entangled with Bai Qiuqi and has no time to interfere with the male lead's affairs.
The Rubik's Cube company did recommend a few male leads, but they were all rather unattractive.
After all, Magic Cube's artist management business hasn't really taken off, and they don't have any male stars they can really boast about.
Yang Jianzhong didn't care about anything else; whether there were any chances or not, he would just hit three sticks first.
Anyway, he sent all his male artists over, even though they were all ugly and unattractive, but what if, what if Wang Xiaohao took a liking to them?
As it turned out, Wang Xiaohao definitely didn't choose her. If it were the female lead from the first "Savage" series, then they could have chosen a male lead who was less attractive or more ordinary.
But this "My Love from the Star" is no good. How can an idol drama's domineering CEO not be handsome?
Compared to Magic Cube Company, which had a glimmer of hope but no real chance, Yuehai Company was completely determined to get the male lead in "My Love from the Star"!
Yuehai Company has a fairly large brokerage department.
A significant portion of the top male and female celebrities in China have management contracts with Yuehai Company.
However, the people sent by Yuehai Company did not quite meet Wang Xiaohao's requirements!
In those days, the "little fresh meat" type of male idols wasn't very popular in the Chinese entertainment industry. So much so that it was difficult to find even one actor like that after searching for a long time.
It was probably starting with the return of the "Five Returnees" that many Korean trainees returned to China, completely changing the aesthetic trends of the domestic entertainment industry.
Before this, I really couldn't find this type!
This parallel world is pretty much the same now!
Yuehai Company was quite angry about this, because Wang Xiaohao refused to hire their employees, and the two sides had several arguments.
Wang Xiaohao didn't tolerate them and said bluntly, "I'm the director, I'm the boss. If you're unhappy, you can withdraw your investment and leave!"
Just kidding, this "My Love from the Star" project is one that is guaranteed to be profitable.
Wang Xiaohao was very unhappy that Yuehai Company was making money for free.
Even so, Yuehai Company continued to whine and cause trouble.
This naturally displeased Wang Xiaohao!
I'm used to you guys!
In reality, Wang Xiaohao wasn't afraid of Yuehai Company; he was afraid of being surrounded by wolves. Even though Yuehai Company was one of the biggest wolves in that pack!
But hasn't Wang Xiaohao already brought in GM Company and Magic Cube Company to participate?
At worst, after kicking out Yuehai Company, we can just find another film company to take its place!
As long as Wang Xiaohao doesn't eat alone, it's not considered "breaking the rules," and he won't attract the wolves' attack!
Of course, Yuehai Company wasn't stupid; they naturally wouldn't back out.
All those attempts to find fault and make excuses are nothing more than tests.
For every step Wang Xiaohao takes back, they take a step forward.
If Wang Xiaohao were soft-hearted enough, they might even dare to seize control of the project!
Now that Wang Xiaohao is taking a hard line with them, Yuehai Company has softened its stance first!
However, Wang Xiaohao was certain that these guys would cause trouble again whenever they had the chance.
Working with these powerful companies is like this: it's like trying to get something from a tiger.
To cooperate with them, we must cooperate and fight at the same time!
In the end, Ding Binbai came up with the idea: why not just find a newcomer to play the role?
We can just sign it directly and make money for the company.
After the TV series "Past Life" was released, it became a hit throughout Asia.
The male and female leads were busy making money flying around various Asian countries, and it is said that they each made a hundred or two hundred million!
With such a large sum of money, do you think Wang Xiaohao is tempted?
nonsense!
Of course he was tempted, otherwise why would he have signed that supplementary contract with Zhen Liang?
And to be honest, male stars are much better at making money than female stars!
If "My Love from the Star" becomes a hit, the male lead's earning power in a short period of time might even surpass that of Zhen Liang.
If the movie becomes a hit, let's release this guy for six months to a year to make money for the company.
As for the male lead's popularity fading, if the artist wants to stay with the company, Wang Xiaohao can film a new drama to continue promoting him.
If neither of us wants to stay at the company, let's part ways amicably. We won't hinder each other's departure!
All you have to do is find managers and assistants for the male celebrities!
