The day when the movie "Phoenix Return" officially announced the casting, the entire film industry was in an uproar.
Director Zhou Xiongjing returns after five years of inactivity to bring this historical ensemble drama. Set against the backdrop of the chaotic An Dynasty in China, the film tells the story of a male and female protagonist leading millions of soldiers to recapture lost territory and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era for the people.
In this movie, it is not just about love between young men and women, but more about the justice of family and country, the struggle and passion in troubled times, and they are willing to dedicate their blood for the land beneath them.
In this movie, the male and female protagonists are the male and female protagonists because they are the only two protagonists who survived.
Among them, the second male lead, Xiao Fengting, who has a very important and brilliant role, is one of the soul characters of the movie. It can be said that he almost affects the development of the entire movie. He is a general who is called a treacherous general by all the people. He is insidious and cunning, but he surrenders voluntarily in the end, presenting the male and female protagonists with the jade seal, the throne and the famous "Atlas of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that will be passed down through the ages, handing over the country that was within his reach to others.
It can be said that such a character who is both good and evil is more difficult to grasp, and the casting of this actor needs to be more cautious.
The show will start auditioning actors in two days. Everyone is looking forward to who will play the role of the second male lead, Xiao Fengting. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of people who have both good looks and acting skills.
Bai Anyu and Qin Xun are considered to be among the better actors of the new generation, and the role of the second male lead can only be played by one of them.
The fans of the two groups have been fighting each other for a long time. If they get this resource, their idols will have a firm foothold in the film industry in the future.
Qin Xun? He might have some experience playing the role of the neighbor's brother, but I suggest giving this kind of historical role to our brother.
[Get lost! Besides a few TV dramas, what else has Bai Anyu acted in? What awards has he won? Who gave you the nerve to compete with our brother in acting?]
Now the two groups of fans are arguing even more fiercely, neither of them is willing to give in. What the hell is this? If you want to use their brother’s resources, you should first see if they agree!
But at this moment, a piece of bombshell news slapped the faces of fans of both groups.
The official of "Phoenix Returns" released the audition list of all actors on the social platform. Among them, in addition to Qin Xun, Bai Anyu and several powerful movie stars, Gu Chi was also on the list for the role of the second male lead.
Who is Gu Chi? The washed-up star with only a few Douban ratings of no more than 2.0, a film with barely any credits, yet still able to star in major productions, a man with no acting skills, no fame, and who can only survive by appearing in variety shows?
How could his name be put together with their idol's name in the audition? Isn't this a slap in their faces?
No, their brother can’t stand this grievance!
Today they must get rid of Gu Chi, otherwise their brother will lose so much value. Competing for resources with such an outdated top star who is not even on the 18th line, isn't this a pure degradation of his status?
Moreover, it is well-known in the industry that Gu Chi and Bai Anyu have a bad relationship. The two almost had a fight when they met for the first time. After that, Bai Anyu would give Gu Chi the cold shoulder whenever he mentioned Gu Chi in public.
Over time, the audience came to know that Gu Chi and Bai Anyu had a bad relationship, and it was a very bad one.
Now Gu Chi is actually going to openly snatch their brother's resources. Bai Anyu's fans can't tolerate this, so the two groups of fans decided to push Gu Chi's upcoming audition to the top of the hot searches.
When the audience first saw this strange trending search, they felt it was quite subtle.
Their only impression of Gu Chi was that unlucky guy who was both unlucky and lucky in variety shows. Now he was quietly competing with the Best Actor and Best Actress for the role of the second male lead?
It’s hard to believe that he has no backing. Thinking about it this way, the little bit of goodwill that he had accumulated through the variety show was gone in an instant.
[Did Gu Chi do this on purpose? He knew Bai Anyu hated him, but he still rushed to the audition. He was probably trying to get traffic.]
[Ah, this, this, does Gu Chi have any outstanding works? Has Director Zhou also bowed to the capital?]
[No way, when I watched the variety show, I thought Gu Chi was the control group, but I didn't expect that the control group was actually Qin Xun...]
[Anyway, if Gu Chi were in this movie, I would definitely not go back to watch it. It would be an insult to my eyes.]
Qin Xun's fans, Bai Anyu's fans and some of Gu Chi's black fans were on the hot search, arguing with each other and making the name of Gu Chi the hottest topic today. The idle people who came to Big Eyed Boy would click in to take a look, then shake their heads and leave.
Gu Chi has no acting skills, no fans, and his relationship with Bai Anyu, a well-known rich second-generation star, is so strained. It may be that he is just going through the motions. In the end, this role should be one of Qin Xun and Bai Anyu.
However, the paparazzi were quite keen on sniffing out the gossip. Gu Chi and Bai Anyu did not have a good relationship, and they might even fight on the day of the audition. This would be much more interesting than who would get the role.
They've already prepared articles and are waiting to publish them on the day of the audition! "What's the real purpose of the on-set brawl between the outdated star and the newly crowned actor?" With headlines like these, they're sure to have plenty of headlines for the rest of the year.
There were even paparazzi who disguised themselves as staff members and sneaked into the casting scene to start a live broadcast, broadcasting the entire process of the fight between Gu Chi and Bai Anyu in real time.
The day of the audition soon arrived. Gu Chi finished reading the script for the last time, and Xiaoyu just finished her last bite of steamed bun.
She patted her belly and thought happily that the dumplings were really delicious.
"Brother, Xiaoyu has finished her breakfast, there's nothing left!"
Gu Chi took a look and saw that the little girl had eaten all the food in front of her and even cleaned up the garbage. Gu Chi smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Shall we go?"
"Okay!" Xiaoyu nodded happily. Her brother was going to take her to the audition today. Xiaoyu must cheer up and not let Bai Anyu come into contact with her brother.
Liu Qiu was lying on the hospital bed. She looked much better these past two days, and she smiled more often. "Gu Chi, keep going. Dean Mom believes you can succeed."
"Yeah." Gu Chi nodded.
"Xiaoyu also believes in brother!"
Before leaving, the director's mother called Gu Chi again, "Gu Chi, when you meet Bai Anyu, you should be more considerate of him. I don't know what happened between you two over the years, but this child has a good heart. It's just that he may have some unresolved issues."
Speaking of Bai Anyu, Gu Chi's eyes darkened a bit, but he still quickly replied, "Yes, he is just an ignorant little brat, I know my limits."
Liu Qiu teased, "Don't always call him a brat. You're only one year older than him."
Gu Chi: “…”
"Brother, were you good friends with Brother Bai Anyu before?" Xiaoyu accurately grasped the key point from their conversation.
"Yes, my brother and Brother Bai Anyu were very naughty before. When we were in the orphanage, he broke two of my windows in one week." When Liu Qiu thinks about it now, he still feels that although Gu Chi was naughty at that time, he had the liveliness and vigor of a boy.
But later on, he became more and more silent until he became what he is today.
"Oh, it turns out that my brother was also a naughty boy when he was young." Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Chi and said softly.
Gu Chi: “…”
This happened many years ago. It was back then that I believed in that idiot Bai Anyu. I climbed trees to steal bird eggs, fished in the creek, and smashed the window with a slingshot. It seemed like I did all those embarrassing things with Bai Anyu.
When Gu Chi thought of this, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he felt really happy when he thought about those days.
"Will brother hug Brother Bai Anyu later?"
When this topic was suddenly brought up, Gu Chi was subconsciously stunned for a moment. Hug? It was considered a good thing that he and Bai Anyu didn't fight when they met, let alone hug.
"Good friends should hug each other! Xiaoyu, Beibei Xingyi and Sister Zhaodi are all good friends. We hug each other every time we meet." Xiaoyu said, shaking her head.
Gu Chi found a ridiculous excuse, "We are adults."
"Can't adults hug?" Xiaoyu looked up in confusion.
"Adults can hug too. Good friends should hug each other." Liu Qiu said with a smile.
Xiaoyu clapped her hands and blinked her grape-like eyes. "Yes, you see, the director's mother said that good friends should hug each other!"
Gu Chi: “…”
He was afraid that Bai Anyu, this idiot with a dysfunctional mind, would think that he wanted to assassinate him.
"Brother, can you hug Brother Bai Anyu later? Then you two can be good friends again!"
But facing Xiaoyu's earnest hope, Gu Chi still had no ability to resist and nodded subconsciously, "Okay."
He was willing to risk it, even if Bai Anyu beat him up today.
Xiaoyu was very happy. After the hug, they became good friends. This way, Brother Bai Anyu would no longer be angry with her brother!
The brother and sister rushed from the hospital to the set in the car arranged by Zhou Lin. As soon as they got off the car, they ran into Bai Anyu getting out of the RV.
Bai Anyu, who was originally fine, suddenly frowned. He turned his face away from Gu Chi, snorted and walked away, but his eyes unconsciously fell on Xiaoyu.
Bai Anyu deliberately maintained his cool and handsome posture and walked past Gu Chi, but the moment he saw Xiaoyu, his heart melted. This little dumpling is so cute.
He deliberately slowed down his pace and shouted in his heart, Gu Chi! Call me now, I'll give you one last chance! Call me now, call me and I'll forgive you!
But Gu Chi didn't move for a long time. Seeing that I was about to walk away from his sight, could it be that Gu Chi really didn't show any reaction at all?
He walked even slower, his eyes still drifting towards Gu Chi, and at this moment a little actor who was doing something unknown suddenly ran up.
Before Bai Anyu could figure out who he was, he saw him approaching with a familiar look. He subconsciously took a step back, "What are you doing!"
"Senior Bai, I was the second male lead in your last drama. Do you still remember me?" the man said with a licked face.
"I don't remember. Is there anything you need?" Bai Anyu was worried that he had no reason to stay any longer, so he stopped and chatted for a while.
"I absolutely support you. Although Gu Chi will definitely trample you under his feet sooner or later, I will never be like them. I will definitely believe in you!"
Bai Anyu: “???”
What the hell? Gu Chi was actually going to crush him to death! Gu Chi finally paid attention to him! No, she had to find a place to set off some firecrackers to celebrate tonight!
This scene was also broadcast verbatim by the paparazzi who were broadcasting the entire event live.
The audience was attracted by the gimmick of the live broadcast room, and hundreds of thousands of people watched it online in an instant.
Is this something I can listen to?
[Oh my god, it turns out your entanglement is so deep...]
Is Gu Chi crazy? Who does he think he is? Sisters, come on, get justice for your brother.
At this time, Bai Anyu stood up and walked towards Gu Chi. The little actor who ran over and the paparazzi who were pretending to work but actually taking pictures at the scene were all complacent in their hearts. They were finally going to fight!
Fight! Isn’t the traffic coming instantly? Fight quickly!
But they didn't expect that an incredible scene would appear in the next second.
Gu Chi actually hugged Bai Anyu! Like brothers who spend every day together, why is there such admiration on Bai Anyu's face?
Paparazzi broadcasting live: ???
The audience who moved their stools and prepared to eat melons: Is that outrageous?
Fans who are ready to start the exciting battlefield:?
The hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room were completely shocked. What on earth was going on?!
