Furthermore, they even held an online audition contest for the female lead.

This was an insult to her, and despite admiring Kong Shen's talent, she completely gave up on the film.

"Kong Shen is indeed a leader in art films, and he has made many A-list actresses famous. However, he is a bit arrogant and always thinks he has unique vision. This time, choosing Bai Qianmo is like digging a deep pit for himself. It is his own fault." Su Le'er said with a mocking expression.

Tang Qi thought of something and took out a contract from his briefcase.

"Take a look at this."

Su Le'er reached out and took the contract. After reading the contents, her eyes widened suddenly.

"Is this Xu Ziqian's film 'Misjudgment'? Wasn't Chen Li chosen to star in this movie?"

Tang Qi raised an eyebrow smugly: "I have a pretty good relationship with Director Xu Ziqian. I showed him some of the dramas you've filmed before, and he was very satisfied with your image."

Su Le'er was so excited that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"So, I've now won 'Misjudgment'?"

"That's right. As long as you want to act, this drama is yours. Xu Ziqian's movies always win awards when they are released, especially with his international fame. Le'er, as long as you seize this opportunity, you will definitely leave Bai Qianmo far behind in the future."

Su Le'er excitedly held the contract in her hands: "I'm really looking forward to that day."

Today is the day of the cut for "The Legend of 1900".

Because Han Song-yeon has not yet woken up, the roles of middle-aged actresses in the latter half of the female lead's role are currently being reserved.

Director Kong Shen has always admired Han Songyan, and this is their third collaboration.

In the words of director Kong Shen: We have helped each other achieve success.

Han Songyan encountered an unexpected situation and fell into a coma in the hospital.

Kong Shen also went to the hospital to visit her immediately, even after learning that Han Songyan might never wake up.

He did not immediately replace the actor.

Today was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the actors from the show arrived on time.

The male lead in his younger years is Gu Hongxun, and the female lead in her younger years has been confirmed to be played by Bai Qianmo.

The middle-aged male lead is played by award-winning actor Lang Xiao, while the female lead is still played by Han Songyan.

"Director Kong, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to begin in half an hour, but there are only three reporters present so far, and they are all from unknown small websites." The assistant director looked helpless.

The producer standing to the side looked displeased.

"It's all Bai Qianmo's fault. Her personal conduct has seriously affected the reputation of our film. Director Kong, you had hundreds of girls to choose from, how could you pick such a troublemaker?"

Kong Shen remained silent, glancing around before asking, "Why hasn't Bai Qianmo arrived yet?"

The assistant director glanced at Producer Liu, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"I asked people not to notify her, because I think I want to replace her with someone else."

Kong Shen frowned, his displeasure immediately showing.

“Producer Liu, I am the director of this drama. Shouldn’t this decision be made by me?”

"Old Kong, I know you're someone who appreciates talent, but you're too stubborn. You always think your judgment is the most accurate, but this time you're really wrong. Bai Qianmo has too many scandals and negative stories. It's hard for an actress like her to go very far as an actress."

Kong Shen snorted: "If you insist on replacing Bai Qianmo, then I'm sorry, I won't be filming this drama either."

"You...you stubborn old man!" Producer Liu's face turned ashen with anger.

The two have collaborated many times and have a very good relationship in private, understanding each other's personalities.

Producer Liu is a businessman who prioritizes profit.

Kong Shen is a renowned director with a proud and stubborn personality and extremely high standards for his works.

Previously, the two men could reach a good consensus, but this time, because of Bai Qianmo's decision to stay or leave, the two men in their forties and fifties became like two fighting roosters, each wanting to be defeated by the other.

"Right now, public opinion across the internet is extremely unfavorable to Bai Qianmo. If she continues to film our movie, it is likely to cause extreme dissatisfaction among netizens. When it is released, just wait for the box office to plummet. Not only will I have a hard time explaining to the investors, but your reputation as a great director, Kong Shen, will also suffer a Waterloo-like decline. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Kong Shen chuckled coldly twice: "I've maintained my reputation in the industry for over twenty years. To be honest, I really want to try something different now. If casting Bai Qianmo damages my reputation, I'll accept it, but this actress absolutely cannot be replaced."

"Stubborn old man, senile old man, are you getting old and your mind isn't working well anymore?"

"I'm perfectly clear-headed. Since I chose Bai Qianmo for the role, unless she's morally corrupt, I will never easily replace her!"

Producer Liu took a deep breath, afraid that he might lose his temper and smash the old stubborn man's head with a chair.

"Have you considered that if it's confirmed that Bai Qianmo is a mistress and Zhang Yafei is dead, this will trigger netizens' tendency to protect the weak, and the whole internet will condemn Bai Qianmo. Who will still watch our show then? Our investment of hundreds of millions will be completely wasted. How can I explain this to the investors? And how can you explain this to the other artists?"

Kong Shen fell silent.

Seeing that Kong Shen remained silent, Producer Liu assumed that he had taken his words to heart, and his expression gradually softened.

He said earnestly, "Old Kong, we've been working together for so many years, we've been friends for over a decade. I know you value talent, and as long as the artists don't have any particularly serious issues of principle, I'll unconditionally support your casting choices. But this time, it really won't work!"
