I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 105: Da Tian Tian is a Hit!

Dong Zhuo is somewhere between the third and fourth male leads, making him a major supporting character.

[Zeng Li plays Empress He, and we'll get to see the beautiful Zeng Li again.]

[Li Heiniu was actually chosen.]

[The actor playing Zhang Bao is Yu Rongguang, which is excellent. He's top-notch in both dramatic and action scenes.]

I've noticed that director Cheng Sheng's casting choices are all very close to the historical figures they portrayed, except for Jing Tian.

[I don't know much about the character Fan Yuan, but isn't it too risky for Cheng Sheng to cast a newcomer as the female lead?]

[Holy crap, I just checked and found that Jing Tian is signed with Starlight Brilliant Films. I heard that film company has a very strong background. Is that why Cheng Sheng chose Jing Tian as the female lead?]

Director Cheng, if you're being coerced, just say something.

[Upstairs, you're a genius...]

Netizens generally approve of Cheng Shengxuan's casting choices, except for Jing Tian.

In 2005, Jing Tian was really too 'raw'.

If Cheng Sheng hadn't exposed it, no one would have been able to find this person online.

Actually, according to another memory, in 2000, at the age of 12, she was admitted to the Affiliated Secondary Dance School of Beijing Dance Academy and began to study Chinese folk dance.

In 2004, Jing Tian graduated and signed with Starlight Brilliant Film & Television Company, thus officially entering the entertainment industry.

In 2006, she released her first solo music EP, "Who Are You," and officially embarked on her entertainment career.

The movie she starred in, "Anaconda," will also be released that year.

But this movie is so bad that anyone who watches it will feel disgusted.

This is considered one of Jing Tian's worst early films.

It's perfectly normal for netizens to be skeptical and even suspect that someone with no prior film experience got the lead role in a big-budget movie.

In response to netizens' doubts, Cheng Sheng also came up with a solution.

We designed a costume for a female general from the Han Dynasty, then worked through the night to make it, and had Da Tian Tian try it on the next day.

They hired a top photographer to take pictures of Da Tian Tian, ​​then edited them and posted them online.

Seventeen-year-old Jing Tian would look very young, even naive, in a female general's uniform.

However, Cheng Sheng's far-sighted vision, coupled with his makeup skills and the fact that Da Tian Tian herself has good looks, made her look very exquisite and gorgeous in the female general's uniform.

White armor, a red cloak, and long black hair give him an air of nobility and majesty.

Her eyes were full of confidence and sharpness, as if she were commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield. She showed the demeanor and aura of a female general.

After seeing the pictures of Jing Tian in her female general costume, the online criticism of her suddenly shifted.

[I'm drooling! This is the most valiant female general I've ever seen.]

[Oh my god, is that Jing Tian? She's so beautiful!]

With looks like that, it's like God just fed her to the bone; no wonder Director Cheng Sheng chose her to play Fan Yuan.

[Goddess, no, female general, this is the female general I've always imagined.]

Cheng Sheng has such a great eye for casting.

[Hey, someone help me! Please look up information about Jing Tian! I want it.]

【…】

In an instant, Jing Tian's image was hailed by countless netizens as the new generation's 'goddess'.

"Hehe, Uncle, look, I'm famous now. I knew I was the best."

At Starlight Brilliant Film Company, Da Tiantian sat in a computer chair, looking at the hottest web pages on her computer while spreading her colorful tail feathers like a proud little peacock.

"You really have to thank Director Cheng for this. If he hadn't found someone to film you so beautifully, netizens would probably still be criticizing you for getting in through connections!"

As Da Tian Tian's elder, Lu Zheng jokingly said with a smile. "Uncle, that's because I have a strong foundation," Da Tian Tian said, raising her little head.

"Oh, if that's the case, then I have to praise my brother and sister-in-law. If they weren't so handsome and beautiful, how could they have given birth to you, Sweetie!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"yawn."

Da Tiantian couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed her fingers under her nose, rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, are you praising my parents openly? Are you cursing me in your heart? Otherwise, why would I sneeze?"

The road administration officer, who was being scolded by Da Tiantian, was speechless and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Hey! Stop looking at it and hurry up and study the script. Don't hold Director Cheng back during filming," Lu Zheng said.

"Go ahead and watch, I'm not the one who'll hold you back!"

"After watching, remember to go practice horseback riding at 3 pm."

The road administration officer added another instruction.

Ah!
Da Tian Tian was completely dejected.

Horse riding is really too tiring. She practiced for several days, and every night her back and legs ached, and she even had several bruises on her body! All of this was caused by improper control, which led to her falling off the horse.

When Cheng Sheng announced the list of new films, it not only sparked discussions among netizens, but also caused quite a stir within the industry.

Some people from Sugarman Film Company also auditioned for Cheng Shengxin's new film, but all of them were rejected.

No, there was another person who succeeded, and that was Qiao Shan.

"Brother Shan, congratulations."

Lin Gengxin congratulated Qiao Shan, but a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

He auditioned for the role of Zhao Yun, but unfortunately lost to Jiao Enjun.

"Congratulations, Brother Shan."

Yuan Hong also congratulated Qiao Shan.

Brother Hu, Liu Sisi, and others also offered their congratulations.

Although Qiao Shan has just joined Sugarman Films, people with higher status than him, such as Brother Hu, don't need to flatter him so much.

But who is Brother Qiao Shan?!

That's Cheng Sheng.

With such a powerful background, no one dares to underestimate him.

Hu Ge and Liu Sisi did not participate in the audition because they had other projects to film this year and had no time to participate in Cheng Sheng's new movie.

"Haha, thank you. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight," Qiao Shan said with a generous smile.

He was a sensible man, knowing that he was able to get the role of Zhang Liang entirely because of Cheng Sheng, so he wasn't particularly proud of it.

Sitting next to Brother Hu, Tang Yan rolled her eyes and said softly, "Shanzi, when are you going to introduce Director Cheng to us?"

Tang Yan is not a full-contract artist with Sugarman Pictures, but rather has a cooperative relationship with Sugarman Pictures.

Peng Yuyan, who just joined Sugarman Films last year, said repeatedly, "Yes! When will you introduce me to Director Cheng? I admire him so much."

Like Hu Ge, he didn't audition either, because he also has a role in this year's "Chinese Paladin".

It clashed with the schedule.

"I'm afraid it's not possible during this period. He's too busy, and I rarely have a chance to see him. Once the new movie is finished, I will definitely introduce him to everyone."

Qiao Shan didn't want to offend anyone, so he said with a smile.

Brother Hu and the others were also aware of Cheng Sheng's current situation and knew that Qiao Shan had no reason to deceive them. Moreover, Qiao Shan had said that there would still be a chance to get to know Cheng Sheng after his new movie ended.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Yan's eyes; she was eager to befriend Cheng Sheng.
