I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Seeing that Huang Lei remained unmoved, a hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Naicha's eyes. She hadn't expected him to be such a scumbag.

She didn't want to be a mistress anymore. She wanted to take this opportunity to stand in the light and then use public opinion to force Sun Li to leave Huang Lei. But Huang Lei didn't stand up, so she had no reason to stand up.

"It seems I need to find a time to confront this man. Leaving him might allow me to live the life I want."

Liu Naicha muttered to herself, she wasn't going to let him sleep with her for free.

A private restaurant in Shanghai.

Xun Ge'er, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, and a certain Zhao, among other friends, gathered here.

"Xiaoming, congratulations on getting another role in Director Cheng's company."

Chen Kun raised his wine glass and spoke to Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming smiled slightly and said, "That's all because Director Cheng thinks highly of me and lets me indulge in idol dramas again."

Not long ago, Victory Film Company released casting information for two idol dramas.

Upon hearing the news, Huang Xiaoming immediately signed up. Unexpectedly, he was selected directly, and the male lead didn't even need an interview; he was given the role directly.

He was stunned at the time. After making inquiries, he learned that Cheng Sheng had personally chosen him for the lead role, which made him extremely excited.

Seeing that Cheng Sheng valued him highly, he was very grateful to Cheng Sheng.

Therefore, he personally called Cheng Sheng in Cannes to express his gratitude.

"Xiaoming, has the male lead for the other idol drama been decided yet?"

Chen Kun asked, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

"I don't know about that, Kun. If you want to, you'd better sign up as soon as possible. The interview will be in a few days."

Huang Xiaoming said.

Chen Kun thought about his recent schedule and realized that it was packed with announcements. Even if he got a good interview, he wouldn't be able to find the time to attend.

However, Cheng Sheng's idol dramas really make people famous. After Huang Xiaoming finished acting in "My Love from the Star", his fame increased significantly, and he also gained considerable popularity overseas because of this drama.

A while ago, he was invited by a South Korean television station to do promotions, and I heard that he was almost overwhelmed by female fans in South Korea.

He also heard that Huang Xiaoming was a big spender in South Korea, and had made nearly ten million dollars.

envious.

Yes, Chen Kun was envious of Huang Xiaoming.

"I'll contact the company and ask them to register me."

Chen Kun gritted his teeth and said.

If I'm really chosen to be the male lead in an idol drama, then I might as well skip some of the appearances. As for whether I'll breach the contract... I'll just have to pay compensation then.

If it becomes popular, it'll be easy to make back this small amount of money.

Chen Kun walked to the side, took out his phone, made a call for two minutes, and then hung up.

He walked over with a happy expression.

"Kun, judging from your expression, your company agreed?" Xun asked curiously.

Zhao stared intently at Chen Kun.

"Not only did they agree, but the company also promised to help me contact Shengli Film and Television Company and do everything they could to help me land the male lead role," Chen Kun said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's face darkened. The better her two friends did, the more upset she felt.

"Kun, come on, have a drink. Congratulations in advance on your great success!" Xun-ge'er, with his generous personality, raised his glass and said.

"Dry."

Chen Kun happily raised his glass.

The four clinked glasses and drank their wine in one gulp. Huang Xiaoming put down his glass and said, "Being an alumnus of Director Cheng is truly enviable. I've heard that most of the roles in 'The Great Tang Dynasty 2' and two other idol dramas currently in production have been given to students from the Central Academy of Drama."

"You all know Tong Yaya, right?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them thought for a moment. The name sounded familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before, but the impression wasn't very strong, and they couldn't remember it for the time being.

"It seems you haven't paid much attention to Director Cheng's company. Tong Yaya is a junior at the Central Academy of Drama. She played a supporting role in 'The Great Tang Dynasty 1' and became somewhat famous after the movie was released. Later, she was signed to Director Cheng's company. She is the female lead in the idol drama I'm starring in."

"She is currently a hot favorite of Shengli Film and Television Company, and she will definitely be a top-tier artist in the industry in the future."

After hearing Huang Xiaoming's words, the three of them immediately realized that it was her, no wonder she seemed familiar.

When Shengli Film and Television Company signed new talents, they had their own ideas, and they knew that Shengli Film and Television Company had signed a new talent named Tong Yaya.

only……

"Tong Yaya has delicate features and a tall figure, but her skin seems a bit dark. Will she be criticized by the audience if she plays the female lead in an idol drama?" Xun asked doubtfully.

Generally, the male and female leads in idol dramas are best suited to be handsome men and beautiful women.

Idol dramas, whether historical or modern, are essentially about creating dreams for the audience. The actors don't need particularly superb acting skills, and the plot doesn't need to be too realistic or down-to-earth. The main focus is on telling the story of the male and female protagonists from their first meeting to falling in love, including misunderstandings, heartbreak, and deep romance. The primary task is to give the audience a pleasant and beautiful viewing experience.

And since it includes the word "idol," idol dramas are basically cast with popular idol artists, with handsome men and beautiful women being almost standard.

It's not that screenwriters, directors, costumes, props and sets aren't important; it's just that most idol dramas rely on the good looks and charm of the lead actors to attract viewers and grab their attention, making them one of the key selling points.

For an idol drama, the looks of the male and female leads are arguably the most crucial element!

Not to mention that in the domestic entertainment industry, where the requirements for actors are extremely strict, appearance is one of the most important assets that actors possess.

When Xun Ge'er said that Tong Yaya had dark skin and wasn't pretty, Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "That was her in the past. Now her skin is very fair, and she has become very beautiful."

"Are you prettier than me?!"

Suddenly, Zhao said.

When asked this question by his goddess, Huang Xiaoming was overjoyed and decided to say something against his conscience.

"Of course I'm not as beautiful as you. You're the nation's goddess." Huang Xiaoming's sycophantic side kicked in.

Seeing Huang Xiaoming's sycophantic behavior, Chen Kun and Xun Ge'er exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly. Why did they hang themselves on a tree that didn't like them, when their old friend was both handsome and talented?

"Xiaoming, Director Cheng values ​​you so much, when are you going to invite him out so everyone can get to know each other and have a meal together?" Xun Ge'er changed the subject.

"This one……"

Huang Xiaoming had a bit of a headache.

He and Cheng Sheng were acquainted, but Cheng Sheng rarely socialized. Many people wanted to invite him out for dinner, but he seemed to have rejected them all.

"Didn't I say before? Director Cheng is the kind of person who never goes to parties. He's not the same kind of person as us," Huang Xiaoming said helplessly.

Xun Ge'er laughed and said, "How would you know if you didn't invite me? Anyway, it won't kill anyone to tell you."

"Okay, when Director Cheng comes back, I'll invite him out for dinner."

Seeing the expectant looks in Xun Ge'er's and his two other friends' eyes, Huang Xiaoming gritted his teeth and said.
