The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

"What? There won't be a preview event for 'Dying to Survive'?"

“Who made this decision?”

In a large flat somewhere in Beijing, Xu Zheng, the lead actor of "Dying to Survive", asked with a frown on his face, holding up his mobile phone.

"Well, it was Mr. Bai Xingjian's decision."

A rather calm voice came from the other end of the phone, and also explained why Bai Xingjian did this.

"Oh, it's Mr. Bai, then it's okay."

Xu Zheng nodded, and his frown relaxed.

Obviously, Xu Zheng also agreed with Bai Xingjian's idea.

This is not just flattery, this is a feeling from the heart.

Because when filming the movie "Dying to Survive", Xu Zheng was deeply impressed by Bai Xingjian.

As for the quality of the movie "Dying to Survive", it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack in the current Chinese film industry.

It can be said that the movies currently on the market are basically garbage compared to the movie "Dying to Survive".

Even Bai Xingjian’s previous work “All or Nothing” is included in this list.

"All or Nothing" is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of "Dying to Survive".

These are Xu Zheng’s sincere thoughts.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zheng smiled and said, "As expected of Bai Xingjian, this guy always has countless brilliant ideas."

His wife, Yang Shan, who was sitting next to him, rolled her eyes and said, "The preview of 'Dying to Survive' isn't even happening, how can you be so happy? It's just a gimmick, is it really worth holding back for so long?"

In Yang Shan's eyes, not holding the preview ceremony would be a huge loss to Xu Zheng.

Although the preview ceremony is just for the crew and producers' self-entertainment, the people who come to participate in the preview ceremony are basically extraordinary.

As the leading actor, Xu Zheng has many opportunities to appear at every preview ceremony.

What if a director, screenwriter or producer is in a good mood and takes a fancy to Xu Zheng?

Doesn’t this mean there are some new job opportunities?
But now?

The preview of "Dying to Survive" was cancelled.

The loss caused to Xu Zheng is simply incalculable!

Yang Shan felt that this was not cost-effective.

"It's worth it! I can only say it's very worth it!"

Xu Zheng nodded heavily. "When 'Dying to Survive' is released, you might know."

Yang Shan sneered and shook her head with some disdain: "I really don't know what kind of magic potion Bai Xingjian fed you to make you trust his decision so much. It's a pity that Bai Xingjian didn't engage in pyramid selling."

Hearing these words, Xu Zheng glanced at Yang Shan and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

It is estimated that his wife will never be able to change her habit of gossiping behind people's backs.

"So 'Dying to Survive' is really not a comedy?" Yang Shan asked with interest.

"It's really not a comedy." Xu Zheng nodded heavily again.

Although Bai Xingjian had said that this matter could not be told to anyone, Xu Zheng had already told Yang Shan during the filming of "Dying to Survive" that this movie would be his transitional work.

After all, it's really hard not to share this kind of thing with the person next to you, okay?
But this silly woman never believed what he said.

So it doesn’t really matter whether we talk about it or not.

Moreover, some of Xu Zheng’s friends in the circle have asked him this question before, and he told the truth.

But in the end, no one believed what he said.

Even if someone believed what he said, they were only half-believing and half-doubting.

Yang Shan took a deep look at Xu Zheng and said, "I guess this topic of not being a comedy is just part of Bai Xingjian's marketing. He is like an internet celebrity, and he is good at marketing."

"As you wish."

Xu Zheng spread his hands and stopped explaining.

He told the truth, but no one believed him. What else can he do?

It's simply unsolvable, okay?

……

"I'm not the God of Medicine? Why is this name so big?"

In a luxurious hotel in Shanghai, Xu Lan also saw the trailer of "Dying to Survive".

When Xu Lan saw the trailer for the first time, she was also quite surprised.

After all, when she was filming "Labyrinth of Desire", she knew the reason why this movie was created.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that Bai Xingjian has simply given up the task?
Apart from Zhang Chuanjun and All or Nothing, does the movie "Dying to Survive" have any other connections with it?
"With Xu Zheng in the cast, Dying to Survive is undoubtedly a pure comedy."

Xu Lan's agent He Xilin smiled and said, "I can only say that this is quite good. After all, the subject matter is different. We don't have to confront Bai Xingjian in the middle. Then everyone won't have to be so embarrassed."

He Xilin naturally also knew some inside stories about the movie "Labyrinth of Desire".

"That's true."

Xu Lan nodded. "Although Dying to Survive will still be released during the May Day holiday, it is a different subject matter from Labyrinth of Desire. Even if we use them for comparison, it won't be particularly embarrassing for either party."

"And maybe our 'Maze of Desire' will have some unexpected advantages." He Xilin said with a smile.

"Ah? Why?" Xu Lan blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's very simple."

He Xilin's smile remained on her face. "Xu Zheng has acted in so many comedy films. Let alone us, even the general public is probably tired of them. Besides, this is Bai Xingjian's first time acting in a comedy film. I don't believe he can come up with something original."

Hearing this, Xu Lan nodded.

She quite agreed with the previous sentences.

But Bai Xingjian can’t shoot some original content?

Xu Lan believes that this point still needs to be questioned.

After all, that was Bai Xingjian!
……

"It's over, Chuanjun, Bai Xingjian has cancelled the preview of 'Dying to Survive'."

In a luxurious hotel in Beijing, Zhang Jingshu said to Zhang Chuanjun with a look of disbelief.

"what?!"

Zhang Chuanjun was surprised when he heard this: "Why? Tell me why?"

Zhang Jingshu tried to calm herself down and said calmly, "Don't many netizens believe that 'Dying to Survive' is a comedy? So Bai Xingjian plans to keep this gimmick until the movie is released, which is May 1st.

But if that's the case, then the preview will have to be cancelled.

Otherwise, once the preview begins, all the gimmicks will be exposed." "But if that's the case, then I'll have to maintain my current figure until May 1st?"

Zhang Chuanjun's tone was a little uncertain, but his darkened expression showed that he had already accepted this fact.

Zhang Jingshu nodded and looked at Zhang Chuanjun with eyes full of pity.

She patted Zhang Chuanjun on the shoulder and said, "Hold on for a few more days. God will give great responsibilities to those who are capable of them. This is exactly what you are experiencing now."

Zhang Chuanjun sighed and didn't say anything more.

Since Bai Xingjian wants to bring a greater shock to the audience, Zhang Chuanjun cannot fall behind.

After preparing himself mentally, Zhang Chuanjun said, "Sister Jingshu, I'm going to the gym first."

Because Zhang Chuanjun thought that "Dying to Survive" would start its preview soon, he didn't control his diet much these days and basically ate and drank a lot every day.

But now I suddenly received such news...

So what else can he do?

I can only lose weight through other means by stuffing what I have stuffed into my stomach these days.

"You still have to take care of your body and don't push yourself too much."

Zhang Jingshu nodded and reminded him.

……

"How was it? Sister Yunhan, how was your date with Bai Xingjian this time?"

In an underground parking lot somewhere in Beijing, Bai Xiaoxia asked with a smile and joked to Yin Yunhan.

"Just stay here and talk nonsense."

Yin Yunhan rolled her eyes and then said, "But the process was pretty good. It was much easier than I thought. I thought Bai Xingjian would be very domineering, but I didn't expect him to be very measured and mature in everything he did. You can't tell at all that he is a young man in his early twenties."

Bai Xiaoxia's eyes lit up: "Such a high evaluation?"

"Yeah, and he gave me three scripts."

Yin Yunhan took out three documents from her bag and handed them to Bai Xiaoxia.

Bai Xiaoxia was already dumbfounded at this moment. She opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief:

"Three scripts? Is Bai Xingjian's spending so much money? Could it be that he has a crush on you, Sister Yunhan?"

Bai Xiaoxia's gaze swept over Yin Yunhan, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.

Yin Yunhan is about 1.72 meters tall, with delicate facial features and an exotic look. Her figure can be described as curvy.

It is the type that both men and women will love.

It was expected that Bai Xingjian would fall in love with Yin Yunhan.

However, Yin Yunhan sneered at Bai Xiaoxia's reaction and said, "What are you fantasizing about? Take a quick look at these three scripts to see which one is more suitable for me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxia said "Oh" in disappointment, and then slowly read the script.

More than ten minutes passed.

Bai Xiaoxia's face showed an expression of "That's it?"

"No, what era is it now? Are scripts all this short?"

Bai Xiaoxia held up the three scripts and said angrily, "This is the first time I've seen such a short script in all these years. Is Bai Xingjian treating beggars like this?"

Her state made Yin Yunhan couldn't help laughing.

"No, sister, how can you still laugh like this?"

Bai Xiaoxia looked at Yin Yunhan with extremely confused eyes, "It was just a date, but Bai Xingjian has already charmed you? Or is he really that charming?"

Hearing these nonsense words, Yin Yunhan couldn't help but rolled her eyes charmingly, and then explained:

"Bai Xingjian actually had an explanation. He said that there were relatively few female characters in this movie, and their roles were relatively small. These three scripts were already the ones with the most content among all the female characters."

"what?"

Bai Xiaoxia was shocked when she heard this. "It's already 2026, and Bai Xingjian is so bold that he dares to marginalize the female characters in a movie. Is he shooting a movie with two male protagonists?"

After these words were spoken, Yin Yunhan's expression looked quite strange.

Bai Xiaoxia noticed it right away, and she said in disbelief, "No way, sister? Bai Xingjian's movie really has two male protagonists, both of whom are strong?"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Xiaoxia immediately became excited and praised Bai Xingjian: "You are really worthy of being Bai Xingjian! You actually dare to be the first in the world to bring this kind of content to the big screen."

"..."

Yin Yunhan was silent for a while. After looking at the assistant, she said, "Actually, I think you misunderstood, Xiaoxia. Bai Xingjian said that this movie does have two male protagonists, but both male protagonists have girlfriends, and one even has a child. So, there should be no problem with their sexual orientation, and the content of this movie is definitely not what you imagined."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxia suddenly felt as if something was suddenly enlightening.

She was so excited that her mind went straight to the three scripts she had just read.

Bai Xiaoxia blinked her eyes and thought, "If that's the case, then my favorite script might be the one about the girlfriend of one of the male protagonists, the popular novelist. After all, the novel she wrote in the play is very interesting, and Bai Xingjian shouldn't be aimless in this regard."

Yin Yunhan nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "I think so too. And judging from the script of this character, she is currently living a carefree life, which makes people very envious."

Bai Xiaoxia laughed, "So it's decided? We want Mary's script?"

Yin Yunhan nodded, "In that case, let's take Mary's script."

After making this decision, Yin Yunhan did not hesitate and immediately informed Bai Xingjian of the relevant news.

"Choose the role of Mary?" Bai Xingjian on the other end of the phone was also quite surprised after knowing Yin Yunhan's choice.

"Your tone... Is there something wrong with the character of Mary?"

In the nanny car, Yin Yunhan blinked in confusion.

"There are no pitfalls at the moment, but there may be some in the future." Bai Xingjian was a little vague.

However, Bai Xiaoxia and Yin Yunhan became a little excited after hearing this.

Are there pitfalls in the future?

Doesn't that mean there will be a sequel to this movie?

If there is a sequel, it will be a real rip-off!
Yin Yunhan expressed her feelings without reservation: "If that's the case, then I really made the right choice this time."

Bai Xingjian laughed and asked Yin Yunhan for confirmation, "Are you sure you want the script for the role of Mary?"

"Sure! Absolutely sure!" Yin Yunhan's tone was extremely certain.

"Okay, then the role of Mary will be given to you."

Bai Xingjian nodded and sat at his desk to record the relevant information.

"Can I ask you something? When will we start filming this movie?" Yin Yunhan asked curiously.

Bai Xingjian, who was sitting in front of the computer, hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe we have to wait until 'Dying to Survive' is released before deciding. After all, the film has just started casting." (End of this chapter)
