Their mudslinging was really ineffective.

It not only promoted Liu Yun's first film, but also helped the box office recover.

It also made Liu Yun's charity foundation known to more people.

Upon learning more, more people became convinced that the charity foundation was doing real work, and thus believed Liu Yun's claims about making donations.

This inadvertently increased Liu Yun's reputation.

Liu Yun was already exclaiming, "What a kind person!"

This definitely earned her a lot of points!

Although she would donate to this project and her charity fund works on it every day, this promotion really boosted her popularity and emotional value. Her points growth, which had slowed down, suddenly surged.

Thank you to this group of people for their contributions to the desert.

At least we can buy more seeds and add tens of thousands more units of vegetation to the desert.

Liu Yun made the charity fund public from the beginning in order to accumulate as many points as possible.

Without a channel for external fundraising, any publicity would be somewhat self-promotional, and Liu Yun would feel ashamed.

Therefore, the Yunzhao Charity Foundation has never been heavily publicized; it is mainly the fans of Yunzhao's artists who pay attention to it.

Tebi is a fan of Liu Yun because the foundation's current funding comes entirely from the company and Liu Yun herself, with no third party involved.

By playing this game with the capitalists, the Yunzhao Charity Foundation was brought to the public eye, saving them the trouble of advertising and promotion.

Liu Yun was well-prepared and genuinely intended to do charity work and contribute to the development of Yan Country. Therefore, as long as people paid attention to it, this charitable foundation would not give anyone any reason to doubt it.

It's 100% transparent; everything is crystal clear and visible.

This further enhances the credibility of Liu Yun's donation, making it impossible for investors to manipulate the situation.

Aside from boosting the box office of the first film and increasing the charity's visibility and credibility, they couldn't do anything to smear it.

The money was spent, but the enemy benefited instead. Capitalists couldn't stand it and naturally withdrew.

However, the news that the second season of "Chinese Agents" is about to start filming has dominated many trending topics in entertainment news.

The investors suffered a crushing defeat, while the artists were ecstatic.

The main roles have already been decided internally, so will the other roles require auditions?

Based on the box office performance of the first film, even a brief appearance in the second film would be a very effective movie.

It might be more useful than making ten ineffective roles.

So, the capital withdrew, and those seeking inside information arrived.

After all, Yunzhao Media's own artists aren't enough to fill the quota for this one movie!

Liu Yun, however, prefers to use veteran actors.

Firstly, their professional skills are truly outstanding.

Secondly, the price is really not high.

Some veteran actors have stopped acting because the current environment is very difficult.

They are more dissatisfied with the professional standards of some people in the industry. If they offer their opinions, they are accused of being bullied by veteran actors, making unreasonable demands, and being too demanding.

If we don't mention it, it's uncomfortable to film. We end up portraying veterans as if they're just taking advantage of their age and that their skills aren't actually that great, which would ruin their reputation and make them depressed!

Nowadays, Yun Zhao is known for not following the crowd and preferring to be a maverick. If he were to contact veteran actors to come out of retirement, nine times out of ten they would agree.

Why would a director choose to hire a attention-seeking, attention-grabbing person when there are such capable people available?

Are you complaining that your film crew is too comfortable?

Moreover, veteran actors who don't act anymore are less likely to have their careers collapse!

Of course, a basic check is still necessary, and those with questionable character should be avoided.

We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!

Therefore, after reserving some roles for her own artists and then looking for a group of veteran actors, there weren't many roles left.

There aren't many left, but there are still some.

For example, the queen of the Loulan Dynasty.

You need to have enough presence, but you can't look too old. Makeup can make someone look very young, but it always looks a bit odd.

If you can find someone of a suitable age, it will be more comfortable to look at.

Ultimately, no decision was made, so Liu Yun still had to organize an audition.

Being a top director in the industry is great; you obviously have a lot more options.

If the first installment of the Huaxia series required some people to be thrown into the role, then the second installment could be chosen by anyone.

Of course, Liu Yun wouldn't do things so arbitrarily. Some people are too demanding, and she finds them difficult to use.

Who doesn't know that she's a director-centric actress with very strict requirements for joining a production?

"We'll have auditions for the remaining roles that haven't been cast yet. There are twelve of them. Once they're confirmed, they'll immediately join the crew for training, and then filming will begin in mid-March."

Liu Yun had a very tight schedule.

It's already the end of February, and there's not much time left for the actors to train.

Without actual underwater scenes, it wouldn't be such a waste of time. Liu Yun plans to finish filming in a month, and with the special effects that can be generated with a single click, it could be released as early as May Day.

This speed is likely to have stunned everyone inside and outside the industry.

Judging by the timeline, the first installment of the Huaxia series probably hasn't been offline for very long!

How could such efficiency possibly exist?

Hong Kong films of the past were quite good; they didn't have many special effects, and they could be filmed in about twenty days, edited immediately, and released within a month. It was all about speed.

But now, with the addition of naked-eye 3D effects, who can still do this?

Liu Yun said that her home could handle it.

Lin Ying took the audition schedule and made the arrangements, while Liu Yun waited until the day before taking Song Xingfei and Fei Fei to the audition.

I never imagined that the original cast of "Under the Power" would be the same three people.

However, my mindset is completely different now.

Back then, there weren't many choices, but now... there are far more people auditioning than I imagined.

When Liu Yun arrived at the photography studio behind the Yunzhao Building, she was stunned by the sea of ​​people.

Strictly speaking, Yunzhao Company, located in Furong City, is completely outside the industry.

Surprisingly, quite a few big names showed up for the audition.

Many artists come with their entire team; is it possible that there aren't many people?

Liu Yun sighed and walked in through the back door that had been left open. "People come to audition, but we can't say that only celebrities can come... I don't know what all these people are doing here?"

If having a large number of applicants guarantees a successful audition, how will individual actors survive?

Song Xingfei clicked her tongue: "I heard from Lin Ying that they were screened."

Fei Fei was quite excited; she had never dared to imagine choosing actors based solely on her own whims.

Authors and screenwriters have always been at the bottom, with no voice.

"If there had been so many choices in 'Under the Power' back then, I would have been ecstatic."

Liu Yun: "The filming process would probably be incredibly frustrating, how could it possibly be completed so quickly?"

"There will definitely be more bizarre moves to come, it'll be a real headache."

Seated in her seat, with everything ready, Liu Yun checked the time and gestured to her assistant, Xie Xuan: "Let's begin!"

"I thought it would end sooner, but now it seems... I'm lucky if I can finish the audition today."
