HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Hearing what Wang Zhongjun said, Pang Hong finally put down her pen and smiled at Wang Zhongjun and Xu Lang, saying:

"Haha, let's treat this as a business exchange. It's always good to see more options; listening to different perspectives leads to a clearer understanding!"

As he spoke, he gestured to his men to arrange two seats for Xu Lang and Zeng Jia, and they sat down at the conference table.

Once you're at the table, you have power!

After sitting down, Xu Lang couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

He said politely to Pang Hong:

"Mr. Pang, thank you for giving us this opportunity."

"You are welcome."

Pang Hong nodded, then asked Xu Lang,

"I wonder what Xu Lang wants to show me this time?"

Pang Hong's words aroused the curiosity of Wang Zhongjun and the others opposite, who all stared at Xu Lang.

The fact that he attacked at this time must mean he has something extraordinary to offer.

Xu Lang glanced at everyone and nodded to Zeng Jia beside him.

Zeng Jia took out his laptop from his bag, and while connecting to the video link in the conference room, he said to Pang Hong and the others:

"What we want to showcase this time includes the casting of the female lead, Xiao Wei, the film's theme song, and demo clips from the film."

As she spoke, she turned on her computer, and without any preamble, Liu Yifei's image quickly appeared on the projector screen.

Upon seeing Liu Yifei, everyone gasped in amazement.

"This little girl is indeed beautiful!"

However, upon seeing Liu Yifei, Wang Zhongjun's anger only intensified.

"This guy used to be mine, but Xu Lang snatched him away! I'm so angry!"

How can I not be angry?

To put it bluntly, in the entertainment industry, when a female star goes to a particular agency, she brings not only a management contract, but more importantly, the opportunity to get intimate with him.

Especially with a fresh and young actress like Liu Yifei, male bosses both inside and outside the entertainment industry, and not just male bosses, who wouldn't want to have a taste?

Wang Zhongjun was furious whenever he thought about Xu Lang snatching away the prize he had just gotten his hands on.

At this moment, seeing that Xu Lang indeed played Liu Yifei's card, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Xu Lang, all you're relying on is Liu Yifei, isn't it?"

I admit she's pretty and popular, but let me tell you, Liu Yifei isn't suitable to play the lead role in "Painted Skin".

Do you know why?

She's too ethereal, which is her strength, but it's also the constraint that completely confines her.

What is Xiao Wei, the female lead in "Painted Skin"? She is a fox demon, a monster who can seduce people, be cruel, and eat their hearts.

How should Liu Yifei act?

Putting on airs to seduce people?

It's laughable just thinking about it!

At this point, he pointed to Zhou Xun beside him and said smugly:

"To play Xiao Wei, you have to be like Sister Xun. She's just as lively as Liu Yifei, but her eyes and movements are full of versatility."

Especially when it comes to the alluring charm of a fox spirit, Liu Yifei looks like a three-year-old next to her—completely clueless!

Although Wang Zhongjun's words were blunt and unpleasant, everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Even Pang Hong, Yang Hongtao, and director Gordon Chan on the other side of the table highly approved of it.

Gordon Chan, as a renowned director in Hong Kong, is quite authoritative when it comes to the versatility of actors, making it difficult for anyone to have a say in this matter.

After listening to Wang Zhongjun's words, he nodded and said:

"I watched Zhou Xun's audition, and I was very satisfied. She was even able to express the animal instincts of a fox spirit, which is something that no ordinary person can do."

Seemingly to echo Chen Jiashang's praise, Zhou Xun, who was sitting to the side, turned her head slightly and smiled at everyone.

That smile, with its endless allure and seduction in her eyes, sent shivers down one's spine, as if electrified.

Xu Lang, upon seeing this, couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"As expected of one of the four leading actresses, she certainly has acting skills."

However, Xu Lang wasn't particularly fond of her.

To put it simply, in Xu Lang's mind, Zhou Xun was someone with unique characteristics.

Anything else?

In terms of looks and figure, she's not good enough.

However, Gordon Chan admired Zhou Xun. After smiling at her, he looked at Xu Lang and continued:

"Liu Yifei is also a very good actress, and I look forward to working with her, but it's clear that it won't be in the movie 'Painted Skin'."

To put it bluntly, she can't play a fox demon. It's not that I'm underestimating her, but the styles are simply too different.

After listening to these people talk for a while, Xu Lang wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he addressed the crowd:

"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain!"

Whether Liu Yifei is suitable for the role or not is not determined by your assumptions. Let's take a look at the following short video.

You can share your opinions after you've read it.

After saying that, Xu Lang nodded to Zeng Jia.

Zeng Jia operated the computer while explaining:

"This short video includes the theme song, character designs, and movie clips that we want to showcase. Please take a look at each of them."

After saying that, she turned off the lights in the conference room and then pressed play.

Suddenly, the conference room went completely dark, and the screen was also black, with no content displayed.

As everyone was wondering, suddenly the screen lit up, and the first thing that appeared was a line of text:

The god has fallen... He has become a demon.

It's also a case of overwhelming superiority!

Upon seeing this word, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Godhood fallen? What does that mean?"

Can gods transform into demons?

"Completely crushing your opponent? That's insane!"

Soon, the subtitles disappeared.

Although the subtitles disappeared, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The screen went black again.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, a melodious tune drifted out from all directions.

The melody was melancholic and gentle, with a classical Eastern feel.

Listening to it in the dark gives you goosebumps.

Just then, a beautiful voice rang out:

The inability to see through it is your lost soul.

I can't figure it out, it's the color of your pupils.

A gust of wind, a fleeting dream; love is as unpredictable as life itself.

What has bewitched your heart?

"This song, this voice..."

Upon hearing this song, everyone immediately sprang to their feet and instinctively sat up straight.

"This melody is so catchy, it makes you feel a little sad!"

"This voice is so ethereal, so evocative, with such a strong narrative quality, carrying a hazy, melancholic beauty—it's incredibly moving!"

"You know what, the feeling of this song really does fit 'Painted Skin' better."

Pang Hong's use of the word "more" made Wang Zhongjun and the others' hearts skip a beat.

"This is clearly meant for me!"

Doesn't the word "better" clearly indicate that they think this song is better than our previous one?

Wang Zhongjun was very dissatisfied, but after listening to a couple more sentences, he immediately lost his temper.

This is Zhang Liangying's voice. It is long and ethereal, with a very steady breath, cold but not harsh. The moment she opens her mouth, she creates an atmosphere of entanglement between humans and demons, where reality and illusion are indistinguishable.

Now, even if Wang Zhongjun is unwilling, it's useless.

This song is absolutely amazing!

He recalled the previous subtitles:

Dimensional reduction and crushing victory?!

Wang Zhongjun's heart skipped a beat. He, who had been so confident, suddenly became worried.

Just then, the screen lit up again, and Wang Zhonglei next to him exclaimed softly:

"They're here!"
