Chapter 58: A Good Opportunity to Become Famous

On Monday morning, Lin Xi heard many people talking about topics such as "movies", "auditions" and "fame".

Lin Xi felt that this matter had nothing to do with his eight poles, and he didn't put it to heart.

At noon, when Lin Xi was having lunch with Tang Taiping and Lin Han. From Tang Taiping's mouth, I learned that a novel "Night City", which has been super popular in recent years, is going to be adapted into a movie.

Different from the previous way of casting movies, some of the main characters in "Dark City", including the male and female leads, will be auditioned across the country.

As long as you meet the requirements, you can submit your resume on the official website of this movie.

It is said that the investor will invest more than one billion yuan to shoot this movie, and it will be directed and filmed by Ren Changfeng himself.

If Ren Changfeng is called the second among domestic directors, absolutely no one dares to call him the first.

Of the three movies he has shot in recent years, none of them has a Douban score lower than eight points.

And "Night City" is a big IP and has a strong fan base.

So even if you are just a little-known amateur, as long as you can be chosen as the protagonist, the possibility of becoming an instant hit through "Night City" is extremely great.

Once it becomes popular, it will be followed by thousands of fans and countless amounts of money.

For the general public, being the protagonist of a blockbuster movie is simply unthinkable. However, the national audition of "Night City" is no longer a fantasy for ordinary people to soar into the sky.

It was as if a golden door to heaven had suddenly opened in front of people's eyes. How can all living beings not be moved?

Lin Xi couldn't help but ask himself in his heart which one is better, being an actor or a scientist.

Eventually, though, she found it more tempting to be a scientist.

"Xixi, have you submitted your resume on the official website of "Night City"?" Halfway through lunch, Tang Taiping suddenly asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi shook his head.

Tang Taiping said: "Xixi, your appearance conditions are so good, and I read the requirements for the heroine on the official website."

I think your personality is 80% similar to the heroine's. So I think there's a good chance you'll be chosen as the heroine. Why don't you give it a try without submitting your resume? โ€

Before Lin Xi could speak, Lin Han put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a serious expression; "Xixi, don't listen to Tang Tang, there are so many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, and you need to be left and right, I know you like to live a free and easy life, how can you stand the constraints of those unspoken rules?"

Lin Xi said solemnly: "My dream is to become a scientist and be famous for eternity. So don't worry, I won't be in the entertainment industry. โ€

That night, Yunyang's agent Ji Ziyao actually sent a video call to Lin Xi.

After Lin Xi and Ji Ziyao exchanged a few words, Ji Ziyao asked: "Lin Xi, do you know about the casting of "Night City"? โ€

Lin Xi was a little puzzled, how could Ji Ziyao ask about this, could it be like Tang Tang, also to encourage her to audition.

Thinking like this, Lin Xi nodded; "I see."

Ji Ziyao said: "Yun Yang is very suitable for playing the leading role in the play "City of Dark Night" in all aspects.

Although Yun Yang is quite popular now, he is still 108,000 miles away from a real film and television superstar.

If he can take on this film, it will have a profound impact on his future career. โ€

Lin Xi hadn't thought about this before, but when she heard Ji Ziyao say this, she felt that the movie "City of the Dark Night" was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yun Yang.

However, she wondered how Ji Ziyao could tell her this, she was neither a director nor a producer. It's not up to her to decide who to be the male lead.

"Lin Xi, it's up to you to help Yun Yang win the role of the male lead."

Lin Xi looked at Ji Ziyao's serious face on the screen, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Ji, are you sure you're not joking with me?" โ€

Ji Ziyao replied to the question: "The one who really decides the protagonist of this movie is actually Boss Qin." โ€

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The Boss Qin you are talking about should not be Qin Chu, right?" โ€

"Exactly, Lin Xi, if you talk to Boss Qin more good things, I think it may be possible."

Lin Xi rolled his eyes in his heart a little speechlessly, and then said, "Mr. Ji, thank you for looking up to me, but I am a stranger to Qin Chu. โ€

Ji Ziyao smiled disappreliantly: "It's okay if you're a stranger now, the important thing is that I heard that Boss Qin is going to marry you in the future." โ€

Lin Xi exclaimed in shock, "Where did you hear that?" โ€

Ji Ziyao bent the corners of his lips mysteriously: "Well, the Buddha can't say it." โ€

Lin Xi stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, she was now a little suspicious that Yun Yang's agent might have something wrong with his head.

"Lin Xi, please give it a try, if it happens, then you have done Yun Yang a great favor."

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then." โ€

Then Ji Ziyao told Lin Xi about the casting mechanism of "Night City". There are three rounds of casting.

Round 1: The producers will audition from those who have submitted their resumes on the official website.

Round 2: Those selected in the first round will be selected by three directors for a second time.

Except for the candidates for the male and female protagonists, the rest of the supporting roles have basically been determined in this round.

In the third round, Qin Chu - Director Qin Da will personally select the final male and female protagonists from among the candidates for the male and female leads.
