Chapter 375 Controversy continues
Bai Xingjian's journey to Coria lasted five days.

After five days of negotiations, he successfully reached an agreement with well-known Corean actors such as Lee Jung-jae, Park Ha-soo, Wi Gu-hyun and Kwon Joon-ho.

In addition, he gave them the relevant scripts and asked them to get involved as soon as possible.

Of course, he also has contacts with some of Corea’s filming teams.

After all, "Squid Game" is a Korean production on Earth, and Bai Xingjian also plans to make the series as authentic as possible when it is released online.

Bai Xingjian's recruitment of actors in Corea has not only caused widespread discussion in China, but also naturally caused considerable controversy in Corea.

Because of the movie "All or Nothing", Bai Xingjian even received more criticism in Corea than in his own country.

[What does this guy want to do? Is he planning to destroy our Lee Jung Jae Oppa? ]

[It's over! If Jung Jae and Jun Ho participate in the movie shot by this person, the reputation they have accumulated over the years will probably be ruined! ]

[Wake up, you fans! Will their reputation be ruined? Don’t Lee Jung Jae and Kwon Jun Ho have their own thinking ability? They can reach a cooperation with Bai Xingjian, of course, they have their own considerations, and they don’t need you fans to interfere! ]

[Oh my, don’t we fans need to talk too much now? When the movie they made with Bai Xingjian is broadcast, I hope you can be as tough as you are now, and don’t ask us fans to show our support~]

[That’s right, we fans are the bread and butter of our family, you know that? What tone are you using to talk to us? Do you know the honorifics? ]

[Oh my god, this is truly Coria, the fan culture is simply amazing, I can’t stand it after watching it too much. ]

[I’m leaving, I’m leaving. If I stay here, I’ll just go back and check my Weibo. Why should I suffer this? ]

[I can’t laugh anymore. Who knows if you are real fans or fake fans? ]

[Jung Jae-oppa's current career has reached a bottleneck period. It is also a good choice to cooperate with some well-known foreign figures. What if there is a new breakthrough in the cooperation? 】

[Bai Xingjian, you better hope he can come up with something new. Otherwise, if he continues with the same plot as "All or Nothing", the result will probably be predictable to everyone.]

[Hahaha, you still have some hope for Bai Xingjian, okay? He is at least a legendary figure in China, and have you read his recently released novel "The Three-Body Problem"? It's very well written! ]

[What? He also published a novel? How come I didn’t know that? ]

[It is probably because there is no Korean version, so the news has not been passed on. Those who understand Chinese can search the forums in China. It is well written.]

["The Three-Body Problem", I know this novel, so is Bai Xingjian planning to have Lee Jung-jae and others star in the TV series of this novel? If so, then I am interested. ]

[Well, how can I put it? I can only say that there is a possibility in this regard, but the possibility is not very high. ]

Although there were many insults directed at Bai Xingjian by netizens in Corea, when topics related to "The Three-Body Problem" came out, their attention was drawn to "The Three-Body Problem" again.

After all, this novel seems to be related to their Oppa, so it is natural to pay special attention to it.

Then these Koreya netizens discovered that there was no Korean version of "The Three-Body Problem".

Although they can find Chinese version resources on the Internet, they can't understand them at all.

Many people began to post for help, and some netizens patiently explained to them:
[If you can't understand Chinese, it's easy. Can't you just go to YouTube and watch the explanation video of "The Three-Body Problem"? YouTube seems to have Korean subtitles, right? ]

[In fact, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. We already have bloggers in China who make analysis videos on their own. Why bother to do it yourself? ]

[Yes, yes, I have put the link in the comment section. You can watch it yourself if you need it. This blogger is also a beautiful sister! ]

【Not bad. 】

[It seems that the Three-Body Problem written by Bai Xingjian is really something? There is actually a blogger in our country who is explaining this novel so quickly. ]

[What do you mean by something? I can only say that Bai Xingjian is indeed a popular guy, and explaining his novels is just to take advantage of his popularity.]

[Yes! These are just routine operations to gain popularity. There is no need to deify Bai Xingjian. ]

[A movie as vulgar as "All or Nothing" can actually make over 4 billion in China. With their aesthetic standards, what good novels can Bai Xingjian write? I guess the Chinese Film Association is just forcing people to create gods.]

[It is very likely to be so. After all, in the past few years, both our country and China's film market have fallen into a rather sluggish situation. Fresh blood like Bai Xingjian is needed to break this sluggishness and give some confidence to practitioners in this industry.]

[Oh, I thought Bai Xingjian could write something good, but I didn't expect it to be just like this. It's really disappointing! ]

Perhaps it was the influence of public opinion, or perhaps science fiction novels simply did not have a suitable environment in Corea.

The novel "The Three-Body Problem" did not cause much sensation here.

In the end, netizens' attention to "The Three-Body Problem" was not even as high as that to the actors recruited by Bai Xingjian.

This situation surprised Bai Xingjian quite a bit.

But when he thought about the fact that "The Three-Body Problem" on Earth was also being coldly received in South Korea, Bai Xingjian felt relieved.

"The soil is different, there's no need to force fusion. If they like to see something else, then give them something nice to see."

On the way to IP Amusement Park, Bai Xingjian muttered to himself.

It is now the end of October, and the 508 extras recruited by Phoenix Pictures across the entire network have been trained at the construction site of the IP Amusement Park for nearly twenty days.

Although some people left during the training period, 489 extras still stayed firmly.

The IP Amusement Park's extras resources are still very rich.

"So, as soon as tomorrow passes, we'll officially start filming the movie?"

In the cafeteria built at the construction site, Li Jiahui asked excitedly.

These days, relevant instructors have been explaining to them the things to pay attention to during the group performance shooting process.

If things go as expected, it won't be long before these people face the camera and start their real work as extras.

"Who knows? It's just that someone is spreading news about this, and I don't know whether it's true or not."

Chen Pan was not very sure about this because she didn't know where the news came from.

The only thing we know is that the person who spread the news was not an official from Phoenix Pictures.

Maybe someone among these extras couldn't stand the loneliness and started to cause trouble.

Lin Feifang also agreed with Chen Pan's statement. She smiled and said, "Some people also said that we will cooperate with actors from Corea. These rumors are getting more and more outrageous."

"This is indeed quite outrageous." Li Jiahui nodded and said thoughtfully, "But recently there has been some news circulating on the Internet that Bai Xingjian is recruiting actors in Coria? This news is quite authentic. Do you think we really want to cooperate with actors from South Korea?"

"Let's cooperate. I don't have any psychological burden. I'm just here to work and make money."

Chen Pan said in a rather nonchalant tone.

"I don't feel anything either."

Lin Feifang smiled and said, "If we really want to cooperate with those actors from Corea, can we see them on the spot? Isn't Corea's plastic surgery technology very advanced? By then, the male actors should be very handsome, and the female actors should be very beautiful, right?"

"Uh"

Hearing this, Chen Pan was silent for a while. "I paid attention to the actors from Coria that Bai Xingjian recruited before. Those male actors are not very handsome, but they can only be said to have acting skills. As for the female actors, those rumors don't seem to say that Bai Xingjian has recruited actresses from Coria."

"Huh? They don't want any female actors, and the male actors they recruited aren't handsome either. So what does Bai Xingjian want to do?"

Lin Feifang was a little confused.

Even Li Jiahui looked puzzled.

"Maybe they think the male actors in Corea have better acting skills and are paid less?"

Chen Pan said with some uncertainty: "I don't know much about this either. These are just my guesses. Please don't take them seriously."

Li Jiahui nodded and smiled brightly, "Don't take it seriously, it's just idle talk after dinner."

The food provided in the canteen is of good taste and quality.

After lunch, the three girls, Li Jiahui, Lin Feifang and Chen Pan, walked out of the cafeteria very satisfied.

It has been almost twenty days since they came here, but the meals they have eaten have hardly ever been the same. This is something very hard to imagine.

"So what exactly is being built on that construction site? We are training here and living here. Will those things being built have anything to do with us?"

Li Jiahui asked with some confusion, her eyes falling on the buildings not far away that were surrounded by blue iron sheets but were too high to be seen.

She had asked this question many times, but every time she looked over there, she couldn't control her curiosity.

"Who can know this?"

Chen Pan took a look and said uncertainly, "I guess there is no connection. We are receiving training here because there are too many people. We can't find any other place in this capital city where every inch of land is valuable. This is a last resort.

After the training is over, I guess everyone will be separated and assigned to their own crews under the arrangement of Phoenix Pictures."

“That statement makes sense.”

Lin Feifang nodded, and said with a somewhat regretful tone: "I thought that all of us would be in the same crew as extras, but I didn't expect that we would still be in our own groups.

Alas, when we really have to separate, I guess I won’t be used to it.”

"Yeah." Li Jiahui couldn't help but sigh.

Although they are already adults, after nearly twenty days of getting along, the relationship between them has reached a very harmonious level.

Especially for Li Jiahui, who is already 28 years old, these days she feels like she is back in college.

I feel carefree and a little satisfied, even happier than when I was in college.

After all, when you were in college, you couldn’t attend classes and receive tuition money from the school at the same time.

"It would be great if this kind of life could continue forever." Li Jiahui said with emotion.

But Chen Pan laughed when he heard this, "Phoenix Pictures is not a charity. If this continues, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi will lose everything, right?"

She gave an example, "Let's take 500 extras for example. Each person gets paid 100 a day, so 500 people would be 50,000. Not counting today, Phoenix Pictures has already paid them for 18 days. 50,000 a day for 18 days, that's 900,000.

Oh my god, 900,000! I don’t know how many years I would have to work to earn this amount of money, but Phoenix Pictures paid it out in just 18 days.

Even if Phoenix Pictures is a big company, it probably can't afford such consumption, right? Not to mention the consumption of the cafeteria. If you calculate it carefully, you might be able to figure out that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are doing charity."

As he spoke, Chen Pan started laughing at himself.

Lin Feifang sighed: "I can only say that Bai Xingjian really has some good intentions in order to save Ye Suxin's reputation!"

"But I have to say that Ye Suxin is a pretty good girl. She sings well, looks pretty, and doesn't put on airs."

Speaking of Ye Suxin, Li Jiahui suddenly started praising her.

The reason is simple. Ye Suxin came here a few days ago and interacted with the extras.

The stars who could only be seen on the big screen in the past are now quietly appearing before our eyes.

One can imagine how big of a shock Li Jiahui and other extras suffered.

And all of these were naturally arranged by Bai Xingjian.

After all, in the eyes of the public, he planned everything in order to deal with the public opinion incident involving Ye Suxin.

It is natural to let Ye Suxin come out and interact with these extras.

However, this incident did not attract much attention, because the Internet was discussing Bai Xingjian's recruitment of Corea actors in Corea during this period.

I don’t know which celebrity took the wrong medicine, or if he was just trying to attract traffic and just went crazy on Weibo.

Shouting to Bai Xingjian late at night, asking Bai Xingjian to look at him, look at domestic actors, and not just focus on the entertainment industry in Corea.

Although this Weibo post was deleted by the person concerned shortly after it was posted.

However, this incident still aroused heated discussion among many netizens on the Internet.

After all, this topic is, in a sense, a rather sensitive one.

You, Bai Xingjian, are a Chinese. There are so many actors in China, but you choose to go to Corea to look for actors there?
Who are you looking down on?
