Three songs, let Jing Fupo accompany me to subvert the Chinese entertainment industry.

After the news of the delayed casting for "Starry Night" was released, some people who were still observing also submitted their resumes.

The official explanation is that the large number of people submitting applications makes it difficult to schedule a timeframe in a short period.

If other production teams said this, it's highly likely the project is doomed.

But the stars in this story are dazzling, and the male and female leads are Jingyang Jingtian.

Although it sounds unpleasant, the other party can afford to lose money on a movie with an investment of one or two hundred million, so why would they care about losing money on a TV series with an investment of tens of millions?

Since it's impossible for the embryo to die before filming even begins or to die halfway through filming, there's only one possibility for this situation.

What they said was true; there were just too many people auditioning, so many that the production team didn't even have time to react.

There's a strange phenomenon in the industry: the brighter the future seems, the more people flock to it.

The example is a project by a group of big-name directors. Even if the audience knows it's a mess and the investors know it's a mess, a bunch of people are still willing to be subjected to unspoken rules to join.

Although this drama is not a project by a big-name director, it is still a top-tier production in the industry.

The male and female leads are popular enough to carry the show, one is a second-tier singer and the other is a movie star, and the money on the books is 45 million. Everything represents an opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

So it's not just actors of suitable age who are submitting their applications; even students who are still in school and actors who are over the age limit are submitting their applications.

This made companies in the industry both laugh and envy them.

They're really just a makeshift team; they can't even manage an audition without making things chaotic.

But they had only ever seen such a spectacle in the casting of works by big directors and sequels to hit TV series.

The stars are shining brightly, what have you done to deserve this?!

They couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop them from conveying their willingness to invest in Starlight Brilliant.

After all, so many people are optimistic about it, it can't really end up losing money...

In an instant, what was originally just a well-known project within the industry jumped to the top tier.

It's not just young actors in the industry who have heard about it; even audiences outside the industry have heard of it.

The first to react were Gu Man's book fans and Weiwei's original novel fans.

That was truly cause for celebration! Not only did we see Gu Man's name listed as the head screenwriter, but we also saw the production team's determination to make this drama a success.

Moreover, they were very satisfied with the casting of the male and female leads; both Jing Tian and Jing Yang were the most suitable candidates for the roles in the industry.

Moreover, they knew they couldn't do anything about their dissatisfaction; they couldn't very well claim to know more about the book than the author, Gu Man, could they?

Therefore, they turned their attention to the selection of other roles.

Sort by age, use an exhaustive search to select the most suitable candidates, and then leave a message under the company's official account.

And, believe it or not, they actually managed to select them.

"This generation of book fans is so dedicated!"

Looking at the list of characters chosen by book fans that the company had collected, Jingyang couldn't help but sigh.

Many of the candidates are still unknown figures, but these book lovers still managed to find them and bring them to their doorstep.

"Alright, with the suggestions from these fellow readers, we'll be much better off. Let's compare the resumes submitted to us and identify those with duplicates, which will directly pass the initial screening."

"Then select those who are genuinely interested in auditioning from the remaining candidates, and pass the second round of selection."

"After the preliminary and secondary selections, the results are compiled and audition invitations are sent out."

"Did you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several clear replies rang out.

At the same time, Jingyang also specially arranged for people from Director Lin's film crew to be filmed.

Finally, it will be made public online, emphasizing fairness, impartiality, and transparency.

After all, you've already said it would be an open casting call, and now you're directly eliminating some people to improve efficiency. There has to be an explanation for that.

So Jingyang filmed the process to document it and had someone explain to each person who was not selected why they were not chosen.

Jingyang used the photo-taking and record-keeping feature to its fullest extent!

Jingyang was selecting auditionees, while Lin Yufen was working diligently to integrate and adjust the production team.

The production team that Jingyang and Lu Zheng had previously assembled was far too rough, so Lin Yufen's adjustments were imperative.

This is not only for the sake of the subsequent filming, but also for the sake of being responsible for this project.

As for Lu Zheng, he was negotiating with companies in the industry that were interested in investing, and then reasonably declining their offers.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's already September 23rd, and there's only a week left until October 1st.

"Publish it; this is the final audition list."

Also released was a documentary about the initial casting process, edited overnight by the film crew.

The total duration exceeded eight hours.

Fortunately, the camera crew filmed and edited simultaneously, otherwise we really wouldn't have made it in time.

As expected, the release of the audition list and audition time sparked considerable buzz both inside and outside the industry.

Fortunately, there are videos taken as evidence, which can withstand the test of history and netizens.

Meanwhile, Jingyang and the others were making their final preparations before the audition.

After all, with such a grand undertaking, it would be a real shame to waste all that buzz if we weren't fully prepared.

Although it was tiring, everyone in the crew, including the company staff, felt it was all worthwhile.

Only when they are exhausted will they feel that the show is a hit even before filming begins.

It's safe to say that this show is a minor hit as soon as it airs, and the ratings will definitely be high.

They, as laborers, don't know how much others will benefit, but they know that as long as they become famous, they will definitely receive a bonus.

In a production crew where making money is a sure thing, everyone is full of enthusiasm for everything they do.

While both are filmed by a camera crew, the screenwriters provide different audition clips for groups of several people, score them on the spot, and then decide on the roles.

However, even those in the industry felt a chill run down their spines after seeing the names of all the auditionees.

Before the initial screening, each named character with a significant amount of screen time received at least several hundred applications.

Even after the selection process, there are still dozens of auditionees for each role.

Besides actors in the industry, there are also many students from professional schools, extras from Hengdian, and even some students from non-professional schools.

In short, it's a mixed bag.

But both Jingyang and Lin Yufen had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on after seeing the list.

Because there are just too many "familiar faces" on this list.

Zhao Liying, Mao Xiaotong, Tan Songyun, Wang Kai, Jin Shijia, and others.

These people, who have formal training, acting experience, and even some representative roles, are far superior to the rest.

In fact, these people had already mentally ranked and combined the auditionees, creating their ideal list.

But why hold a grand, public casting call?

Firstly, with so many people watching and so much buzz surrounding it, there has to be a resolution...

Secondly, what if there are truly exceptionally talented people besides those who are "pre-selected"?

All things considered, this open casting call is truly unavoidable.

But after glancing at the densely packed auditionees, everyone, including Jingyang, couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The next few days will be absolutely exhausting...

Two days later, the auditions officially began.
