Chapter 31: The Casting of the New Drama – A Tumultuous Journey (1/2)



Pu Rong, of course, had no idea what Xiao He was thinking at the moment, and was still curious about Xiao He catching the thief: "So, Lao Xiao, you really caught a cross-dressing master at the scene?"

Xiao He: "...Shouldn't the focus be on the thief?"

Pu Rong slapped Xiao He on the back: "Hey, it's the same story! Tell me what happened back then!"

Xiao He could only briefly explain the key points to Pu Rong, who gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, you're the one."

In that situation, he himself probably wasn't even sure that the other person was the one who stole his phone. He didn't expect Xiao He to be so certain and insistent on his own idea. Just from this point of view, Pu Rong was ashamed of himself.

"It's just good luck."

Xiao He shrugged.

"I think I heard someone at Versailles," Lin Yipeng teased as she walked over.

Xiao He blinked innocently: "Huh? Who? I don't know."

Lin Yipeng rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Alright, let's get down to business. I have some audition information for a big production crew. I think you'd be interested. You're wrapping up filming tomorrow, so you can go check it out while you're at it."

Xiao He pointed to himself: "Me?"

Lin Yipeng nodded: "Yes, Pu Rong isn't really suitable for that role."

Pu Rong was speechless: "Hey, I'm still here, why is it inappropriate?"

Lin Yipeng glanced at him sideways: "They want a sinister and cruel villain role, are you sure you can pull it off?"

Pu Rong, who has an upright appearance: "...Then never mind."

Xiao He's interest was piqued: "What role?"

"It's a spy drama. He's the captain of the puppet party's special agent team and one of the important villains in the whole series," Lin Yipeng said. "Although he can only be considered the fourth male lead according to the billing order, he has quite a lot of screen time in the drama."

"A spy movie..."

Xiao He pondered for a moment.

That era must have been bloody, tragic, and brutal.

Xiao He knew without asking that such a villainous character must have a lot of blood on his hands.

But... even if he goes, he might not be selected!

Besides, it sounds like a big production team...

Xiao He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why didn't anyone else come to eat this big pancake?"

The competition in the Chinese entertainment industry is naturally quite fierce. If Xiao He hadn't gotten lucky, he might not have been able to get into three different film crews.

"Of course, they were snapped up like crazy."

Lin Yipeng coughed lightly, a strange smile on his face, "So the actors who were shortlisted earlier are all too eager to come."

Xiao He: "..."

Wait a minute, isn't this a bit too much information?

Xiao He swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to get involved in this mess.

Lin Yipeng, however, had a mysterious confidence in Xiao He: "Don't worry, after changing actors five times, the only requirement the production team has for this role now is that you have acting skills, fit the character's image, and don't cause trouble. I think you can definitely do it."

Wait a minute? How many times do I have to say it?

Xiao He: "...What kind of characters are they that they've changed five times and still haven't given up?"

Xiao He felt that sometimes it was okay to believe in superstition. If it hadn't worked out these five times, the role definitely wouldn't work out either! Aren't people in the entertainment industry supposed to be superstitious?

Lin Yipeng raised her finger and earnestly analyzed for Xiao He: "Their first actor was sent by the investors. The director didn't really like him, but he still used him despite his reluctance. As a result, that guy cheated on his wife with two women, and the original wife of the investors exposed him. So the first actor was naturally kicked out of the crew."

Xiao He: "Hiss."
