Ouyang Qianran's popularity has risen a lot because of the song "Time". Taking advantage of this popularity, Ling Yinglu immediately announced the start time and cast list of "Empire Overlord".
The water that had already been boiling now began to boil.
As the world's number one film emperor, Ling Yinglu was able to defeat so many international superstars and step onto the supreme throne. He is the pride of the Chinese people. In China, he is like a god.
Now, this big star is actually going to direct and star in a TV series, and it is a fantasy historical TV series. In addition to being shocked, many people are also looking forward to it. Because there is a character in this TV series who has been the focus of everyone's attention from beginning to end, and that is the most beautiful woman in history - Hu Ji.
Which actor will play the role of Hu Ji, which everyone is looking forward to and paying attention to? What kind of actor would be valued by the movie emperor Ling Yingyue and play such an important role?
There are many handsome stars in the entertainment industry, especially those young and handsome guys who have debuted in recent years. Which one of them doesn’t have a handsome and delicate face? There is no shortage of pretty boys in the entertainment industry, but there are not many pretty boys who have acting skills, temperament, and good looks.
According to the high-demand personality of Actor Ling, the person who can play Hu Ji must be a first-line artist with both good acting skills and good looks. Moreover, people started to watch Ling Yingyue as early as when she announced the casting.
It’s been several days since the audition, but there’s still no news on the official Weibo of “Empire Overlord”. Looking at the Weibo of actor Ling, there hasn’t been any update in several months. Everyone started to speculate who would play Hu Ji.
"I think the most likely candidate is our Zhao Xuan. Our Zhao Xuan has the looks, acting skills, and body. He is the perfect candidate for the role of Hu Ji."
"Our Liu Liu is not bad either. Although she is not as top-tier as Zhao Xuan, she is not much different. Most importantly, our Liu Liu has good acting skills. Isn't she a more suitable candidate than Zhao Xuan?"
"What? I think our male god is not bad. Although he is a second-tier artist, when Emperor Ling is selecting actors, he will look at their acting skills. So what if he is a first-tier artist? If his acting skills are not good, he is still not good."
"I heard that Emperor Ling really changed the role of Hu Ji into a fox spirit. That should be a very charming role. The most beautiful woman in ancient China is not that easy to play. How many actors died because of this role before? Now everyone is making so much money, have they forgotten the past?"
"In my opinion, the role of Hu Ji is not suitable for everyone. If you find a male actor to play it, he won't be charming enough, and if you find a female actor to play it, she won't be heroic enough. Hu Ji is the kind of beauty that is difficult to tell whether she is male or female, right? It's a pity that there are no portraits of Hu Ji handed down in ancient times, otherwise I really want to see what this number one beauty looks like. She can seduce such a powerful emperor."
"If you ask me, you mentioned so many actors, why didn't anyone mention the Second Young Master? Our Second Young Master's acting skills are obvious to all, and our Second Young Master's looks are also top-notch in the entertainment industry. If you ask who is most suitable for this role, it should be our Second Young Master."
"To be honest, the Second Young Master does have acting skills and good looks, I admit that, but the guy above, the Second Young Master, is a cool and aloof person like a banished immortal. You want him to play Hu Ji? A fox demon? Is he similar?"
"Haha, the Second Young Master is going to play a fox demon? I think the Second Young Master is more suitable to play a fairy. The Second Young Master really doesn't have the temperament to play a fox demon."
"Well, although I am also a fan of Master, I have to say that among so many first-line artists in the entertainment industry, Master is the least suitable one to play Hu Ji. Unless Mr. Ling is blind, otherwise, this role will never fall on Master."
"The prophecy above, Mr. Ling is really blind. Just now, the cast list of Empire Overlord was announced, and Master is honored to be on the list, and he is playing Hu Ji."
"How is that possible?"
"Impossible..."
…
Many fans and media have been following the official Weibo of "Empire Overlord" just to get the first information about the song. Of the two leading actors, one has already been confirmed, and the other is truly the one that everyone is looking forward to.
Finally, just now, "Empire of Hegemony" announced the list, and then everyone who saw the list was amazed.
The actress who played Hu Ji was not Zhao Xuan, Liu Liu, or some second-tier young actor, but Ouyang Qianran, who many people thought was the least likely actor.
Who is Ouyang Qianran? He is a hot topic in the Chinese entertainment industry. He is a superstar artist who climbed to the top of the list in less than a year. At the same time, he also has an identity that makes countless men and women regard him as a male god. He is the second young master of Ouyang Group, the real second brother of brick and stone. The most important thing is that he is not only good-looking, but also has very good acting skills. He is a real actor. He has an elegant temperament and handsome and delicate appearance. With his ability, many people think that it is only a matter of time before he becomes a top international superstar.
Although there were rumors before that Ouyang Qianran was going to audition for "Empire Overlord", these were just rumors and had not been confirmed. Even if he had to audition, everyone thought that Ouyang Qianran might be the most suitable role for the supporting actor. The reason why Ouyang Qianran only wanted Hu Ji as the protagonist was not because his acting skills were not good enough, but because he was really not suitable.
Because when Ouyang Qianran first debuted, the role he played was that of a cold and aloof male god type. Later, he played the type of immortal. Even though everyone's impression of him has changed after "Light and Dark", it is impossible for him to develop in the direction of a fox demon. After all, everyone knows that in private, Ouyang Qianran is that kind of aloof male god.
Now, Ling Yingluo actually chose such a person who is like a banished immortal to play the fox demon. This is exactly the opposite type. There is such a big difference. Everyone thought that Ling Yingluo was too tired recently and thus a little dazzled.
"The person who plays Hu Ji is actually Ouyang Qianran? I can't believe what I saw. It must be that I woke up in the wrong way today."
"How is this possible? Is Mr. Ling really blind? Ouyang Qianran is the least suitable actor to play Hu Ji, why did you choose him?"
"Although I know Ouyang Qianran's acting skills are very good, the role of Hu Ji is really too difficult to play. What's more, with Ouyang Qianran's temperament, it is really not suitable."
"I'm so shocked that I'm speechless. I was originally looking forward to it because the actor Ling was the lead actor, but now, I've completely given up."
"Let our Second Young Master play Hu Ji? Isn't this pushing our Second Young Master into the fire pit? Why is the Second Young Master so confused?"
"The character of Hu Ji is a big pit. Whoever touches it will die. Master, why are you so confused?"
"I think I'll just go to bed. I've lost interest in watching this drama. It's not that I don't like Ouyang Qianran, but choosing the right actor is really important."
"Sure enough, it's a matter of experience. After all, this is the first time that Mr. Ling is a director. He didn't consider many aspects and actually chose the most unsuitable actress to play Hu Ji. I think this is also a lesson for him."
"Damn it, what kind of vision does Ling Yingyue have? What a crappy actor he chose. He is simply ruining the rhythm of my goddess. No, my god. Hu Ji is my dream god."
"I won't say anything, just two words: disappointment."
"I originally went for Mr. Ling, but now I feel a little hopeless. Mr. Ling should be cast in a different role. Ouyang Qianran is really not suitable!"
"Sure enough, no one has ever successfully filmed a drama about the Shang Dynasty."
"Hey, if you ask me, you don't have to be like this. The final photos haven't been released yet, and the TV series hasn't been filmed yet. How do you know that Actor Ling won't be able to take a good photo? Maybe it will turn out very well in the end?"
"The guy upstairs, stop daydreaming and go home to take a shower and go to bed. If the ratings of this drama can exceed 2 points, I will call him my godfather."
…
For a while, not only the fans were shouting, but the media also expressed the same sentiments as the fans. Matters concerning the actors of "Empire" made headlines in many newspapers.
"Is Mr. Ling the wrong choice?"
"Is it due to lack of experience, or is there something else going on?"
"The most ethereal Hu Ji in history is about to appear."
“The least anticipated TV series this year.”
"Actor Ling is only suitable to be an actor."
…
Looking at the entertainment headlines of the major newspapers in his hands, Ouyang Qianran looked at Ling Yingyue who was sitting opposite him with a little smile, "It seems that no one watches "Empire Overlord". Look, they all say that you are blind to choose me as the leading actor. Mr. Ling, what do you think?"
Ling Yingyue picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said calmly: "Let them be."
Ling Yingluo didn't care at all about the overwhelming doubts from the outside world, and he was too lazy to explain. The best solution is to shut those people up with facts.
"Grandpa and grandma asked us to go back for dinner tonight." What Ling Yingluo meant by going back was going back to the Ling family.
"Okay, I also miss the Kung Pao Chicken made by grandpa." Since getting engaged to Yingdi Ling, Ouyang Qianran also changed the way he addressed Grandpa Ling and Grandma Ling, and followed Ling Yingluo in calling them grandpa and grandma. Grandpa Ling knew that Ouyang Qianran liked the food he cooked. The old man, who rarely cooked before, now cooks once every other day. Every time he cooks, he asks Ling Yinglu to take Ouyang Qianran back home for dinner.
After spending a few days together, Ouyang Qianran had a general understanding of the personalities of Grandpa Ling and Grandma Ling. He knew that the two elderly people truly loved him and treated him almost the same as they treated Ling Yingyue, so he also respected the two elderly people very much.
Soon, it was the day for the filming of "Empire" to start. All the actors and all the machinery were in place. The assistant director during the audition was replaced by another middle-aged director. It was said that this director had filmed many costume dramas and was very experienced.
When Ling Yingluo changed into the emperor's clothes, everyone was amazed. When Ouyang Qianran changed into the stage costume, everyone almost popped their eyes out.
The author has something to say: I have finally reached the 100th chapter, give me some flowers, tomorrow’s chapter will be even more exciting!
