Chapter 223 I want to audition for Dugu Rang!
Ye Sanqing didn't pay much attention to Ye Wanyin's affairs.
She was well aware that posting these messages on Weibo wouldn't completely destroy the other party's reputation.
After all, this kind of public opinion attack can only target people who have a sense of shame, but anyone with a sense of shame would not do such a thing.
Therefore, there is no solution to this problem.
But Ye Sanqing's instruction to An Yueyuan was not solely to attack Ye Wanyin; she simply felt that the victims needed a chance to be brought to justice.
Even if they were all anonymous, the people around them back then should have known the truth.
The most crucial point is that Ye Wanyin was a minor when she did these things, so... we can only condemn her morally.
But in this day and age, there are many people who say "beauty is justice". Ye Wanyin had many fans before she entered the entertainment industry, just by posting pictures of her wealthy life and selfies.
To put it bluntly, people who only care about looks and not values won't care about any stains on her reputation.
Rather than chasing after Ye Wanyin to attack her, Ye Sanqing preferred to focus on himself.
On New Year's Day, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking about some things from the past.
Her birthday falls on the last day of the year, which is actually due to a change in the calendar.
When Ye Sanqing was born, her grandmother was still on the throne. She said that her birth foreshadowed the passing of the old era and the arrival of the new era, so her birthday was set as the day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
However, the calendar was always changing back then. The celestial bodies were not stable, and the relationship between their planets and stars was not like that between Earth and the Sun here.
It wasn't until Ye Sanqing took that position that she realized that many things just needed a nice-sounding title.
But the sight of the whole country and even the entire galaxy celebrating at this time of year still left a deep impression on her.
Now... the environment is different; everyone is celebrating the real New Year.
Ye Sanqing felt that this was quite good; she was no longer the center of attention and felt much more relaxed.
In a sense, although it is still attracting a lot of attention now, it is still quite different.
Ye Sanqing quickly composed himself and went to the casting call two days later as if nothing had happened.
By this time, she had already made arrangements with Sheng Hanyu and Ren Junxiao. So, as soon as she entered the casting venue, she was greeted by three excited gazes.
Ye Jin'er was also there today, as an investor. He didn't know what they were so excited about, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Luoxin will star in "The Moon Has a Flaw".
Ye Sanqing said nonchalantly, and then saw Ye Jin'er almost spit out the cola she was drinking.
"What did you say? Uncle Sheng... Uncle Sheng?"
Ye Jin'er patted her chest exaggeratedly a few times, "This is really awesome!"
Ye Sanqing noticed that his ear was stained red for some reason and gave him a questioning look.
"Ahem." Ye Jin'er was a little embarrassed, but felt there was no need to hide it, so she leaned closer to Ye Sanqing and said, "I saw Uncle Sheng once when I went to play with Xingxing. But I misunderstood..."
"Ahem, anyway, anime is still the best!"
After Ye Jin'er finished speaking, she pretended to be calm and distanced herself.
Ye Sanqing glanced at him.
What's the misunderstanding?
Oh... I guess he thought she was some pretty lady from somewhere and asked Pei Canxing to introduce them, only to be doused with cold water and left feeling like a drowning dog...
"I'm convinced," Ye Sanqing thought.
Actually, Ye Jin'er can't be blamed for this. He was quite young when Sheng Luoxin was active, and when he met Pei Canxing, he never thought he would see someone he had only seen on TV many years ago next to him.
But the comedic style of this situation does indeed seem quite like something he'd do...
Those who say anime and manga are good probably just believe that two-dimensional characters will never appear in real life.
If I told you that everyone in this world is actually a two-dimensional character, how would you react?
Ye Sanqing thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
Qi Nanzhao, who had been waiting impatiently for a while, came over after their conversation ended.
"I'm so excited, I never imagined I'd be able to work with such a legendary figure..."
"Oh no, if I ask him for his autograph, will he think I'm not a very reliable director?"
Qi Nanzhao was so excited that his cheeks turned red, and he had to hold an iced cola to his face to cool it down.
"No, he should be quite... relatively easy to talk to."
Ye Sanqing smiled.
Little did they know that in the eyes of these people, she was the greatest contributor to this matter.
After all, if she and Sheng Hanyu didn't have a good relationship, Sheng Hanyu probably wouldn't have made this request.
If a movie star from twenty years ago wanted to make a comeback, there would be plenty of people eager to hire him if he really wanted to choose a script. What did his production team do to deserve this?
Ren Junxiao, who had been hoping to fulfill his dream, was naturally excited, as was the scholar Dao Wu.
He just didn't show it so obviously, calmly stating, "I will adjust the script to better fit Senior Sheng's character."
Ye Sanqing nodded and began to review today's procedures.
The role we're testing today isn't very important. The most important role is actually the other female lead besides Dugu Rang.
However, this is also a troublesome aspect, because with two female leads, disputes over billing order are inevitable.
Ren Junxiao has a rather old-fashioned style and doesn't really like this kind of thing. Dao Wu and Qi Nanzhao also focus on their works, but it has to be admitted that in the current climate, even if the actors themselves don't engage in conflict, their fans will inevitably do so.
Moreover, actors must consider who their co-stars are when choosing a script, in addition to the role. Although Ye Sanqing is currently a frequent topic of trending searches, it does not mean that her acting skills have been recognized by others in the entertainment industry.
Aside from the popularity factor, she practically rose to fame overnight, going from a minor role to a leading lady, which would be an outrageous thing anywhere.
In other words, it's still in the stage of all talk and no action.
There aren't many newcomers of similar age in the industry with real acting skills. In recent years, most new actors have followed the path of gaining popularity. Only those who can truly stand out from the crowd will seriously consider improving their acting skills.
However, those who already have a large following may not be willing to be on par with Ye Sanqing, not to mention more experienced actors.
More obviously, the role of the Demonic Cult Leader Dugu Rang has been confirmed to be played by Ye Sanqing, so other actors may have to consider their treatment in this production.
Ideally, we would select promising newcomers from schools, so that we can achieve a balance with Ye Sanqing in all aspects.
However, this step is only considered if there are absolutely no people in the industry willing to choose.
So, we're still in the stage of waiting for feedback from other actors who seem promising.
The roles in the open auditions are basically the female leads' fellow disciples, as well as some martial arts figures, leaders of various sects, and so on.
Ye Sanqing spent the whole morning looking at it, but basically didn't offer any opinions.
Although the director is a newcomer, the producer is experienced and makes the right choice by selecting people in a conventional way, so there are no major mistakes.
Until a voice broke the silence.
"I want to audition for the role of Dugu Rang!"
