Ji Qingzhou looked at the online news and felt a little nervous. This drama is a very important step for him. He hopes to win this role and take himself to the next level on the basis of his current achievements. At the same time, he doesn't want to lose to Luo Yuxin. When he faces Luo Yuxin, he always has 100% fighting desire, hoping that he can be stronger, better and more successful than him. So he wants to win this role and successfully beat Luo Yuxin.
Ji Qingzhou felt that it should be about the same. He was quite confident about this role. After auditioning for the second male lead, the director specifically asked him to audition for the male lead and chatted with him for a few minutes. He showed satisfaction in his conversation. Judging from this, he should have no problem.
However, accidents always come unexpectedly.
When Zhou Chengfeng called Ji Qingzhou to tell him that the producers had decided to use Luo Yuxin, Ji Qingzhou was stunned for a long time. He had faced Luo Yuxin many times, whether in variety shows or in life, and he always won. He thought it would be the same this time, after all, acting was his best skill, but he lost.
He lost to the person he hated the most in the field he was best at. Ji Qingzhou felt a tightness in his chest and could not say anything.
"It's not your problem," Zhou Chengfeng advised him, "The director and I have agreed. They are more optimistic about you, but the investor specifically asked for Luo Yuxin. You know, the investor has put up the money, so he is the boss. They have decided on Luo Yuxin, and the director can't do anything about it."
"Is it because of the investors?" Ji Qingzhou felt a little better when he heard that it was not because of his acting skills and that his performance in the audition was not as good as Luo Yuxin.
"Yes, the investor of this play is Dingfeng, which is owned by the Fang family. You also know the relationship between Luo Yuxin and Fang Yaoxuan, so it's not surprising that Dingfeng would designate him."
"This play was actually invested by the Fang family!" Ji Qingzhou felt that his chest tightness was instantly relieved. Not only that, he even felt like he had survived a calamity.
This is really fate. Fortunately, Luo Yuxin used Fang Yaoxuan's relationship to cast him. Otherwise, if he were to play the role himself, Fang Yaoxuan, the young master of Dingfeng, would come to the crew to supervise from time to time, and he would really vomit blood and die!
Cherish your life and stay away from Fang Yaoxuan! Ji Qingzhou always kept this sentence in mind, hoping that he would never have any contact with Fang Yaoxuan again in his life.
"It was invested by the Fang family." Zhou Chengfeng said, "In fact, the director told me that he wanted you to play the second male lead that you auditioned for at the beginning, but I thought you would not want to play a supporting role in Luo Yu's new work, so you refused."
"I don't want to," Ji Qingzhou said, "Who is he? Why should I play a supporting role to him? Don't play a supporting role. I feel annoyed when he and I appear in the same play at the same time."
"Then forget about this drama. Don't feel too bad. You are on the rise now. There are many crews that have handed me scripts. The next one might be better."
"Yeah, I know, I'm fine, don't worry."
Zhou Chengfeng talked to him for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Ji Qingzhou sat on the sofa and sighed. Although he felt a little sorry that such a big IP as "Shen Ji Ling" was not his, after knowing that the show was invested by Fang Yaoxuan's family, Ji Qingzhou felt that even if Luo Yuxin didn't use such a trick, he probably wouldn't star in it. Therefore, there seemed to be nothing to regret. It was just a pity that his fans had cheered for him for so long, and when the official announcement came, he would probably be laughed at by Luo Yuxin's fans.
Ji Qingzhou got angry when he thought of this. "Lord Luo Yuxin, hurry up and be with Fang Yaoxuan!" It's so irritating!
Not long after, the official Weibo account of The Order of the Gods officially announced that Luo Yuxin would play the male lead. As soon as the news came out, Luo Yuxin's fans immediately reposted the message on Weibo to draw prizes, and they beat drums and gongs, hoping to inform the whole world. They all cheered for Luo Yuxin, and they also did not forget to diss Ji Qingzhou and his fans.
"The crew should have announced it earlier, so that some people wouldn't be so reckless as to not consider whether their original owners are qualified to get the IP."
"Come on, that post is obviously pornographic, okay? "The Order of the Gods" is a well-known IP in the online literature world. How could they let someone who doesn't even have a representative work play the male lead? It's obvious that someone is just making empty promises."
"Sisters Raindrop, please stop paying attention to that 18th-tier girl. You are just trying to get him attention. Who else would pay attention to him except our family?"
"I can't help it. Most of the girls in our family are soft-skinned. How can they be as shameless as him? He has been in the industry for less than a year and dared to draw a cake like "The Legend of the Gods". He really thinks he is a big star now."
"Hahahaha, this is hilarious. A fantasy IP with a male lead is contacting him. Which IP is it? Come out and listen. There will be retribution for making empty promises. Hahaha."
"There's nothing we can do. With his status, he can only promise to make things better. Otherwise, do you really think a production crew would hire him to act? The production crew is not blind."
The author has something to say: No need to be so stubborn, let’s change to a bigger IP!
There is one more chapter~
