When will I be the queen

Chapter 450 No Competition
The Immortal Lord thought for a moment, "After they separated, the maid realized that the guard was coveting the Ninth Princess, and that he was showing his love for her just to deceive the Ninth Princess, after all, the guard had no chance to marry the princess. The palace coup gave the guard the opportunity to get the Ninth Princess, and he was too lazy to act for the maid, so he was discovered by the maid. The maid was heartbroken, and wanted to personally remove the guard, a hidden danger, to protect the Ninth Princess, but was discovered by the guard, who killed her instead, and then lied to the Ninth Princess that he had lost the maid. Later, the Ninth Princess saw the body of the maid, and through the clues left by the maid, she knew that it was the guard who did it."

“.”As expected of you, you are really good at it.

Cai Cai clapped her hands in agreement, saying that it was a good change. The highlights were all concentrated on the palace maids.

"It would be best if all the female characters in the drama could help and love each other, without any hair pulling, framing or betrayal."

Xianjun, please note that it is possible. This kind of script is easy to market and is popular, but if the performance is not good and the actresses lack a sense of CP, it will affect the ratings. Compared with the sense of CP between male and female actors, the sense of CP between same-sex actors is even more rare. Therefore, some big-name movie emperors and movie queens will have their own exclusive supporting roles. Cai Cai's play does not need supporting roles, but it is still okay if there are more plots of mutual assistance between same-sex characters.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cai Cai made another request, "Can one or two of those male supporting roles be replaced by female characters? The Ninth Princess is a popular person, she can't just be attracted to the opposite sex, right? Otherwise, there will only be one maid devoted to the Ninth Princess in the whole story, isn't that too little?"

This time, the Immortal King disagreed. "This article is written for you. You are the only protagonist. You don't need other female supporting characters to steal the spotlight. The highlights of characters of different genders are different, but the highlights of characters of the same gender are all similar. All the highlights must be focused on you."

Cai Cai disagreed. "Is this a script about a woman's awakening? You said you wanted to make it into a serious drama, so the whole story can't be about the Ninth Princess being the only woman awakening? That doesn't make sense."

The Immortal Lord did not notice this problem, but it was simple, "Assign a time-traveling mother to the Ninth Princess and teach her some things about women's rights."

"This will definitely not pass the review, right?" Why is it getting even more difficult?

The Immortal Lord waved his hand and said, "Of course I won't say that she is a time-travelling woman. Just say that she came from another world where men and women are equal. Then in the setting, because of the thoughts of the Ninth Princess' mother, she was killed by the old emperor, which increases the hatred between the Ninth Princess and the old emperor." Best of both worlds.

“.”You save trouble.

"That's perfect. It also explains why only the Ninth Princess awakened. She had to pretend to be timid and weak for the Ninth Princess. The old emperor oppressed women even more harshly because of the Ninth Princess's mother. If the Ninth Princess didn't pretend, she would be killed by the old emperor. But the old emperor was not blind to it, so he chose to hand over the jade seal and the restoration of the country to the Ninth Princess during the palace coup. In the old emperor's mind, he planned to use the Ninth Princess as a tool."

As the immortal spoke and typed, the script became more and more perfect.

"It's not that the other women haven't awakened, but they are slower than the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess's spiritual level is far higher than other women. Just like this character is the only protagonist, it is also far higher than any other character. When you act, you must remember this. In the heart of the Ninth Princess, only she is the most important. She must get what she wants. Anyone else, no matter how much they love her or like her, is just her tool."

Cai Cai nodded to show that she understood. She saw it when she read the script. There was basically no scene where the Ninth Princess did not exist. The Ninth Princess was in every scene. If she did not appear in person, she would appear in other ways. For example, other characters talked about her, her things, her orders, etc. Anyway, the Ninth Princess was everywhere in the whole script.

The Immortal Lord is quite amazing to be able to write such a book.

"All the other supporting roles are male, and it's also for sharing resources. For your drama, other companies are trying to get their male artists. No company will let their female artists appear in the same frame with you." Unless they don't want that female artist anymore.
Cai Cai didn't quite understand, "Let me only act with male artists?"

You can also say, "You can maximize your profits only if you have male artists acting with you. You can't make money if you have female artists acting with you." Most companies promote male artists because they have a high return rate. Xianjun pointed at the script and said, "As soon as I spread this idea, several companies came to grab it. I didn't arrange any auditions, but I asked them to send people who were clean, obedient, and good-looking."

Clean? Cai Cai thinks this is not a serious requirement.

"It's not that kind of clean, it's the private life that's clean. Otherwise, if the reputation is ruined and the show can't be broadcast, it's a small matter, but it's a big matter if you are implicated." The Immortal King actually also requires a clean private life, regardless of whether there is a girlfriend or not, but it can't be messy. Although the artists are now audited and are quite self-disciplined, the artists who are rich and beautiful and are sought after are really shameless in private, regardless of whether they are male or female. It's just that female artists are better than male artists.
Don't set too high a moral standard for artists.

"Your drama has this kind of setting, so the requirements for the male supporting roles will be higher. Those artists and their companies also understand that the setting of a playboy in the drama and a pure and shy puppy outside the drama is the only way to attract fans." Xianjun can imagine what marketing methods those companies will use.

No, after saying so much, Cai Cai suddenly realized something, "Didn't they ask for their acting skills?"

The Immortal Lord looked at Cai Cai, "I have to inconvenience you. The acting responsibility of this play has never been considered for these supporting actors. If they have acting skills, it will be a pleasant surprise. If not, it is also reasonable. You can teach them like you taught Cao Xin. The director will also help. The director is Huang Xin whom you have met before, and the assistant screenwriter is Li Muzi. The two of them are now a well-known pair. The company asked them to shoot this play to take care of you. You have the most say in the whole group, and you will also play the role of calming the scene."

Even though everyone knows that Cai Cai is a fool and easy to fool, the position of the leader must belong to Cai Cai and only to Cai Cai. Otherwise, if she really encounters a bad person, Cai Cai will definitely suffer. Even if she makes up for it later, the loss and grievance she has suffered cannot disappear.
"Except for you, no one has the right to change the script or the play. I will find someone to keep an eye on her when the time comes, so you don't have to worry." Xianjun was afraid that when Cai Cai was filming, she would give in to others and suffer losses for the sake of the play, which would definitely not work. But Cai Cai herself would definitely not realize it, so someone who knows the business had to keep an eye on her. Huang Xin was the person in the open, but she was the director, and she might also pretend to be deaf and dumb for the sake of the play. Even if she liked Cai Cai very much, Xianjun did not trust her sitting in the director's position. So he would arrange two other people to act as stage supervisors or assistant directors, just to help Cai Cai keep an eye on her.

After telling Cai Cai not to tell anyone, the Immortal Lord continued to explain the script.

In fact, the script was already very complete, and Cai Cai couldn't find anything that needed to be changed for the time being. Xianjun saved this version and sent it to Li Muzi.

"As for the rest of the makeup and scenes, let the director and his team take care of it. I'll show you what I have later. The only important thing is the supporting roles. I'm going to screen a group of people, and once we're done, I'll have them come over to audition with you to see how they react to the scenes. You can also help out. The makeup should have been finalized by then, and we'll also see how their looks turn out. We're going to shoot this in the direction of a serious drama, so there are certain requirements for the quality of the actors' performance."

Some artists just change their appearance on camera. They look completely different to the naked eye and in front of the camera. It’s not a question of whether they are ugly or not, but the compatibility with the role and the sense of CP with other co-stars. Some artists are very sensitive to makeup. They are obviously good-looking, but their appearance is discounted when they dress up. It has nothing to do with whether they dress well or not, it’s just that the artists have poor plasticity.

Outsiders may not understand this plasticity. The most straightforward manifestation is that as long as the artist has any traces of makeup, from accessories to hair, they will look awkward no matter how you look at them. On the contrary, the less traces of makeup there are, the better they look, and the more you look at them, the more pleasing to the eye. This is undoubtedly a sign of poor plasticity.

Many artists in this industry say that they suffer losses and take advantage of others. Because some roles cannot be dressed up. For example, many characters on the big screen are deliberately made to be pure and natural, or even ugly. This is very difficult for artists who are used to exquisite and bright styles, but for artists with poor plasticity, it is their chosen role and their comfort zone.

Fortunately, Cai Cai does not have this problem, and her acting skills are also good, so all the drama of this play is focused on Cai Cai. In the end, Xianjun finally explained why he chose the male supporting actor in this way, "Your first domestic leading role project, there are many people waiting and watching, but there are even more people who want to get involved. The company cannot eat alone, so it must divide this project. We take the majority, and others take the smaller part, but the largest investor is still the company, or in other words, Chengming. So although there are many concerns, overall, you can still be the king."

In fact, this project, tentatively named "Nine Princesses", has been called Cai Cai's project since the news was released. A project directly named after Cai Cai. It can be imagined that the attitude of the circle towards Cai Cai and the attitude towards Cai Cai's commercial value. This solves most of the problems.

"It's not like I haven't thought about using female artists. But the feedback I got was rejection. You know, fans are fine, but even if the audience is objective, they will unconsciously rank the actors in a drama based on their looks. Especially actresses. Your beauty is ranked at a global level, and you are so young, so even if domestic actresses don't reject you, they don't want to be in the same frame with you and be dragged to compete with you in looks."

What Xianjun didn't say is that the female artists in the circle, and even the male artists who market their beauty, are very repulsive to Cai Cai. This trend has existed before, and now that Cai Cai has returned to film, this point has been brought to the surface. They may not necessarily hate Cai Cai themselves, nor are they insecure about their own looks, but objective beauty is very objective, and for the sake of their own careers, they have to do this kind of group exclusion behavior.

Because if there is a particularly outstanding beauty, there will be a group of particularly obvious ugliness. Yes, not just one, but a group.

Many group photos in the entertainment industry are edited by the artists several times before they are released. But there are also original photos. In these original photos, you can clearly see who is really beautiful and who is marketed. Of course, fans can blame makeup, lighting, angles and many other reasons, but the public has sharp eyes and it is obvious who is beautiful at first glance, and then the others automatically become ugly.
Artists often try to avoid being categorized in this unpleasant way.

Therefore, in many projects, there will be balancing methods. If the male and female protagonists are very good-looking, then the supporting roles will be easier to choose, and the situation of makeup will basically not happen. If the male and female protagonists have flaws in appearance, then find supporting roles that can balance them. For example, if the male protagonist has an average face but is very tall, the male supporting role will be a person with a good-looking face but short stature. If the female protagonist has small eyes, the female supporting role will have a big nose. The most common balancing method is that the main and supporting roles are of different types. If the male protagonist is cool and handsome, the male supporting role will be fair and gentle. If the female protagonist is cute, the female supporting role will be a serious queen.

The best thing about Cai Cai’s project is that she is so beautiful that artists of all types of looks can be included.

This is why even if Cai Cai was marginalized, there were still countless companies that came forward to support their artists.

"After all, who doesn't have a bit of narcissism when they are artists? They are all confident about their appearance." The Immortal King laughed and joked, "We'll see when the time comes."

This was not the first time Cai Cai heard that her peers did not want to be on the same stage with her. She did not care, but she sensed that Xianjun had a certain bad taste, so she still asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at those colleagues who claim to be the most beautiful in the world, their faces change and they cry." The immortal king replied.

"." It's really a bad taste.
Then Cai Cai realized that the Immortal Lord had experienced this himself, "Have you ever attacked many people?"

The Immortal King was very calm, "A lot."

"Before they saw me, they all looked like, 'Let me see what's so great about him.' But when they saw me, their faces turned black. They looked like, 'How can I live in this world?' Their faces and bodies were filled with the words 'Why don't you just die?'"

Cai Cai held the Immortal Lord’s hand and said, “Stop talking, it’s a bit scary.”

The Immortal Lord stopped and said, "I am not exaggerating, nor am I trying to scare you. I just hope you can understand that in this business that relies on appearance, jealousy is very easy to arise. If you are a little whiter than others, your hands are prettier than others, or you have more hair than others, these are all points of envy. Because even if the artist himself does not notice, the traffic topics that suck blood from the artist will also count out countless points of envy. If you are an artist, you can't hide from it."

"I don't want to say that being excluded is fate. In fact, it's just because of the future. Otherwise, who wouldn't like a beautiful woman? But when beauty is linked to future, whoever is beautiful has original sin. You just need to focus on your acting career and rush towards your future. Don't pay attention to the rest, just ignore it."

Cai Cai nodded, understanding, and said, "Is it because I'm going to attend Huamei?" It felt like the Immortal Lord was comforting herself in advance.

Xianjun shook his head, but also nodded, "Yes, and no. I am worried that after you start to get involved in the domestic circle, you will be manipulated by others." When it comes to the despicable means of manipulating others' minds, Chinese people are the best in the world. It's like cursing someone. The manipulation of minds in places like Hi Laiwu is really child's play in China.

"Our compatriots are so smart. The methods used by the foreign devils are not good enough in China."

Cai Cai laughed, this is actually quite interesting, "Because there are more people who like me in China, my large fan base, those big fan clubs, are all compatriots. Their love for me can completely cover up other people's hatred for me. I don't care about those who hate me."

The Immortal Lord raised his eyebrows. Indeed. There are many more people who love Cai Cai than those who hate her. Putting aside the future, interests, fame and wealth, who would truly hate Cai Cai?
As for the jealousy of colleagues, there is a saying that those who are not envied are mediocre.
There is also a saying that competitors are enemies. If everyone works hard in the same industry, then they are all competitors.

Xianjun wanted to say that the word "competitor" is not used in this way, and it is impossible for any peer to be your competitor, but seeing Cai Cai's cheerful look, he didn't say anything.

Once the script is finalized, we can basically start filming. Only after the crew starts filming can they start spending money, otherwise no matter how much money they spend in the early stage, it will not be considered as project investment. So Xianjun sent the script to Huang Xin and Li Muzi, and Huang Xin set the audition time and also set the start time, which was one week later.

Other companies also understood that no matter how the actors were selected, the filming would start in a week. In other words, don't make trouble. But Cai Cai's project is the biggest pie in the near future. Wan Qian has spread a lot of small cookies, so other companies and artists can't help but do something.

Passing messages around is one of the most common, most used, or most effective methods.

There are more than ten male supporting roles, big and small. The ones with heavy roles include the guard, the third prince consort, the master, the senior brother, the junior brother, the richest man, the young knight, the tenth prince and the emperor. These nine roles all need to audition with Cai Cai to see the effect. But it is obvious that the latter two do not participate in the competition among the first seven roles. The latter two participate mainly in the competition among the capital behind the artists.

As for the first seven, Huai Shi received a call from a certain old generation of stars today, wanting to book a role for their star descendants. Tomorrow Song Zheng received a call from an investor, wanting to introduce a newcomer. The day after tomorrow, even Song Yun received several calls at the group headquarters.

"She was able to pass the message to Aunt Song. She must be very powerful." Cai Cai originally thought that she was quite unknown in the domestic circle. Her interpersonal relationships had not been discovered. As a result, Song Yun was found. It seems that many people must have known her life experience, but no one spread it.
