Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 215 Is there a hierarchy of contempt even in filming?
"I'm dying of laughter, it's so funny, the best joke I've heard all year! You're an actor? Do you even have acting skills? Speechless!"

"Hehe, you're not exactly a young heartthrob either. Can your looks compare to our Kun Kun?"

"Do you really think just anyone can get into the entertainment industry? What a joke! You internet celebrities and variety show personalities, stay away from polluting the entertainment circle!"

"You still dare to say you're inferior to Lao Hu? You should reflect on yourself. Are you even on the same level as Lao Hu?"

"..."

Zhou Yang completely ignored these haters; their words even made him disdain them.

however.

In the past few days, Zhou Yang already has a lot of fans, so he doesn't need to show up in person; his fans will fight back against those haters.

"Zhou Yang's performance in The Myth is impeccable. Even I, a fan of Hu Ge, think that Zhou Yang's acting skills are better than Hu Ge's."

"Hu and Zhou Yang admire each other. Don't try to sow discord between them. What's the point of you haters?"

"The character Gao Yao, played by Zhou Yang alone, is far superior to what you call 'young heartthrobs'!"

"Zhou Yang, keep going! Don't pay attention to those haters, we will always support you!"

"I support the 'Hu Yang' couple. I'll fight anyone who criticizes Hu Jintao and Zhou Yang!"

"Hu Ge and Zhou Yang are the real acting talents."

"..."

Zhou Yang felt very gratified.

Having a fan base beforehand is still very useful for navigating the entertainment industry.

What moved Zhou Yang even more was that director Jiang Jiajun retweeted Zhou Yang's Weibo post, praising his outstanding acting skills.

#The Myth Director: An excellent actor can elevate the entire series. @ZhouYang is such a person. Thank you for your outstanding performance, which enhanced the content and ending. The peak is just a new starting point; "The Myth" is not your end. You have the potential to become a legend! #
To become a legend?!

The director's evaluation of Zhou Yang sparked everyone's interest in him.

Even Lao Hu has never received such high praise, but Zhou Yang has.

Moreover, according to the director, Zhou Yang also participated in some content revisions, which shows that he is a multi-talented person and can be called a treasure boy.

At the same time, Zhou Yang received a phone call from Chen Tianzhen.

"Zhou Yang, congratulations! It seems you've succeeded through your own hard work! In the past few days, dozens of scripts have come knocking on your door. I've picked out a really good script for you to play the lead role! Although it's a web series, the script is excellent and it's sure to be a hit!"

Zhou Yang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, "What script is it?"

"The Longest Day in Chang'an!"

The Longest Day in Chang'an?

This drama had a very good reputation in the previous life, and its production was excellent and meticulous.

However, its online viewership was not high, ranking only fifth.

But Zhou Yang understood the reason.

The show invested heavily in costumes, makeup, and props, but cut back on promotional expenses, with only a few lead actors promoting it on Weibo.

Seeing Zhou Yang remain silent, Chen Tianzhen comforted him, "Zhou Yang, in your current situation, you can only play supporting roles or lead roles in this type of web series. Moreover, there is also a rising star, Yi Xi, in this series who has been hyped up. As long as you perform well, you will definitely be very popular."

In the film and television industry, there are different levels.

People who make TV dramas look down on people who make web dramas, and people who make movies look down on people who make TV dramas.

Web series actors must maintain a low profile in front of movie and television stars; this is an unspoken agreement in the industry. Of course, new generation actors like Yi Xi are an exception. He makes web series purely to use good scripts to build experience and establish a reputation before directly entering the big screen.

Therefore, Zhou Yang felt embarrassed. Although he gained some popularity with Zhao Gao, everyone believed that it was Lao Hu who carried the ratings.

He needs to prove himself again.

Although he is very popular in the debate and variety show circles, he is just a newcomer in the entertainment industry.

Everything needs to start from scratch.

Zhou Yang was certainly aware of this situation.

"Sister Tianzhen, I understand. I'll take the role. By the way, do I need to audition?"

Zhou Yang understood that some dramas might have multiple actors audition, and then select the most suitable one in the end.

"Yes, you need to audition. You also have a competitor, the one who's been really popular on variety shows lately, Lei Jianyin, you've heard of him, right?"

Thunderous reduction?
A cute, big head popped into Zhou Yang's mind.

……

Early the next morning.

Chen Tianzhen and Zhou Yang excitedly arrived at the studio of Cao Dun, the director of The Longest Day in Chang'an.

The staff led them to the lounge outside the audition room and told them to wait for the audition notification.

A short while later, a middle-aged man with an unusually large head and a weathered face pushed open the door of the audition room and walked out.

The man saw them, grinned, and walked towards Chen Tianzhen, greeting her warmly, "Sister Tianzhen, what a coincidence! You're here too. Are you bringing an artist to audition?"

“Yes, I brought my artist Zhou Yang to audition,” Chen Tianzhen said, pointing to Zhou Yang beside her.

"Hello, Mr. Jianyin. I've been watching your TV shows since I was a kid," Zhou Yang said sincerely.

Lei Jianyin was immediately embarrassed. Wasn't this implying that he was old? Are young actors these days really disrespectful to their seniors?

"Oh, Zhou Yang, I heard you've become incredibly popular lately, hailed as a young prodigy. But I haven't seen any of your variety shows. There are so many young heartthrobs these days, one after another. You need to hone your acting skills. Only through hard work can you one day reach my level," Lei Jianyin bluntly advised.

Lei Jianyin patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder, unmovedly acknowledging his domineering presence.

This is a reminder to Zhou Yang that young actors need to hone their acting skills through continuous practice and should not expect shortcuts.

Pigs that ride the wave of opportunity will eventually fall.

He misunderstood Zhou Yang, seeing him as a young idol who was made famous by capital.

Zhou Yang felt frustrated and began to wonder if it was his fault for being too handsome.
"Who is Zhou Yang? Please come in for the audition."

Suddenly, the door to the room opened a crack, and someone poked their head out, shouting Zhou Yang's name loudly.

"Brother Jianyin, I'm going in for my audition now. Please take care of me in the future." Zhou Yang greeted Lei Jianyin politely before entering the audition room.

There were only two people in the audition room: director Cao Dun and the original author of the novel, Ma Boyong.

"Hello, teachers. I am Zhou Yang, and I am here today to audition for the role of Zhang Xiaojing."

Ma Shuyong scrutinized Zhou Yang for a few moments, then frowned and said to Cao Dun, "Although his appearance doesn't quite convey Zhang Xiaojing's weathered and ruthless image, his demeanor won't frighten the children."

Cao Dun smiled and explained, "Teacher Ma, you don't need to worry. I've seen his performance in 'The Myth.' He can perfectly portray Gao Yao's image after experiencing vicissitudes, and even become more ruthless after turning to the dark side. As long as the makeup is done properly, he will definitely be able to bring out the required feeling."
