The young man with a sad face continued: "No matter how strict Han's production is, he still needs to eat. This is a big production. The early publicity, the venue, and the stage equipment are all costing money. He just relies on his savings.
If it's not enough, for the sake of investment, he will definitely compromise and give out some good roles."
"But Xia Yuxuan is qualified to be the male lead. He has collaborated with Han Production on an album before. Han Production spoke very highly of him and made an exception by posting on Weibo to promote it. You know, Han Production never promotes his juniors.
."
"Furthermore, Xia Yuxuan is also the top brother of Yixing Media. Both his backstage and his own abilities are impeccable. As long as he has a schedule, he will be the male lead in this musical."
"By the way, I also heard that the Korean producer of the heroine is interested in considering Murong Xue, but I don't know if it's true..."
Xu Tian and Murong Xue walked into the audition studio specially built for the re-examination and heard the discussions of the young artists.
The room was quiet for a second. Those people's eyes swept over Murong Xue's face, and then moved away pretending to be nonchalant.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded.
"Haha, who is Murong Xue? I've never heard of it...is such a transparent person worthy of being the heroine?"
"Don't say that. When she debuted, she became famous in the streets with an advertising song. At that time, the milk tea shop next to our school circulated all day long, and my ears were ringing."
"You also said that was back then. Who knows who she is now?" The young artist who was eccentric at first rolled his eyes with disdain."
Murong Xue's commercial song when she debuted was indeed popular, but she didn't have any resources for the follow-up. Now there is no such person in the entertainment industry, and they don't think such a transparent person is competitive.
Xia Yuxuan, who originally played the male lead in her music video, is now a male star with 30 million views, and her film, television, singing and variety shows are in full bloom.
Murong Xue's dream of partnering with him is simply a fool's errand.
"And I guess Production Han is just talking about the situation, but you all take it seriously."
There was always a sarcastic smile on the young artist's lips: "Let me give you some breaking news. It is said that the position of the heroine has been taken by Qin Zhitong."
"Qin Zhitong?" Everyone was shocked.
"Don't make a fuss. Qin Zhitong is an investor, so it's normal for him to bring capital into the group."
"Then Murong Xue is probably out of business." The young artist next to him tsked.
"There is no chance at all. Do you think that if you make a video to pay tribute to Queen Xiao and gain some popularity, you will be promoted to a heroine? Just dream!"
"Based on her qualifications, she has a chance to enter the re-examination. It's all thanks to the popularity of that Weibo post, but that's it. This is the entertainment industry, not a cool novel. Where do so many nirvana and rebirth come from?
?”
These people did not shy away from speaking at all, allowing Xu Tian and Murong Xue who were standing aside to hear clearly.
Murong Xue's face turned pale and her hands clenched tightly into fists.
Maybe she was really out of her mind to think that she could be selected this time.
"Afraid you'll fail?"
Xu Tian saw Murong Xue's emotional change and patted her shoulder: "Don't think nonsense. What you have to do today is to show the results of this period of practice. There is no need to think about anything else."
"Yeah." Murong Xue nodded.
Xu Tian's words gave her some confidence.
She really wants to star in this musical. In addition to admiring Queen Xiao, she also doesn't want to be struggling at the bottom of the entertainment industry.
She wants to sing and stand on a bigger stage.
Calm down, she must not be defeated!
Murong Xue took a deep breath and kept repeating it in her heart to cheer herself up.
Relax and be yourself, even if she loses, she will have a clear conscience.
A few minutes later, Qin Zhitong, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her accompanying team walked into the audition studio.
The young artists who were gossiping just now fell silent immediately when they saw Qin Zhitong.
Qin Zhitong has a bright and majestic appearance, which is quite in line with the popular public aesthetics, but her singing skills are quite satisfactory.
You say her singing skills are not good, but that's not entirely true. At least she has never lost her voice at major concerts.
But if you want to say that she sang well, she couldn't leave a lasting impression on the audience.
According to Xu Tian, it is a pity to throw away the food if it is tasteless.
In the previous life, there was no competition from Murong Xue, and Qin Zhitong was barely qualified to play the female lead. But now that she has Murong Xue, she has no advantage at all in terms of strength.
If other producers had given the green light to invest, they might have chosen Qin Zhitong through the back door.
But the chief producer of this musical is Han Baoping, who is well-known in the entertainment industry for focusing on quality and not bowing to capital.
In addition, this musical is to commemorate his friend Xiao Tianhou, so he will definitely choose a heroine in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhitong had arrived in front of everyone.
The assistant next to her enthusiastically took the coat she took off, with a flattering smile: "Sister Tong, Han Production and others haven't arrived yet, we need to wait for a while."
"Yeah." Qin Zhitong responded expressionlessly, and then looked around. When she saw Xu Tian and Murong Xue, a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
At this time, Qin Zhitong's agent came over, seemed to notice her gaze, and immediately explained.
"Murong Xue is also here to win the heroine."
"Haha..." Qin Zhitong chuckled upon hearing this, and then stepped in front of Murong Xue and Xu Tian.
Murong Xue was cheering herself up in her heart. When she saw Qin Zhitong and the team around her walking towards her, her body stiffened slightly and she wanted to step back.
But she seemed to have thought of Xu Tian's instructions, and stopped awkwardly, standing stiffly on the spot.
"It's okay." Xu Tian comforted her softly.
Murong Xue had not received a notice for a long time and had no experience in running for an election. It was the first time she participated in such a large-scale selection meeting and it was only natural for people to have stage fright.
"Are you Murong Xue?" Qin Zhitong raised her chin slightly, the contempt in her tone not concealed at all.
"Hello, I'm Murong Xue." Murong Xue greeted the other party politely.
"The commercial song you sang when you first debuted was pretty good."
Although Qin Zhitong was affirming Murong Xue, her attitude was condescending, as if she was a judge commenting on Murong Xue's works.
"Thank you..."
Murong Xue knew that what the other party said was just for the occasion, but since she had been praised, she still wanted to thank her seriously. However, before she could finish the second half of her sentence, she was interrupted by Qin Zhitong.
"It's a bit naive of you to try to compete with me for the female lead's position based on a long-outdated advertising song."
"Based on your qualifications and performance experience, you are not qualified to take on the role of the heroine. You must know that the heroine is the signature of a musical, let alone an important musical such as Xiao Tianhou. You are so transparent.
, just stop being delusional."
Qin Zhitong saw Murong Xue's face gradually turning pale, and the joy of victory arose in her heart, and then she changed the subject.
"Of course, Producer Han is optimistic about you and won't be so unkind. I guess she will arrange a role for you so that you won't let your trip go in vain."
"A little transparent person like you who debuted a few years ago and released an advertising song but didn't get any notices. To be able to play a role in a musical produced by Han is a great honor. You should cherish it!"
Qin Zhitong even refused to say anything in the scene where she was holding a gun and a stick, and directly mocked Murong Xue for not being qualified to compete with her. Her attitude was extremely arrogant.
Those young artists who originally looked down on Murong Xue immediately helped him to please Qin Zhitong.
"Sister Tong is right. Although she says it bluntly, it is the truth after all."
"Murong Xue wants to be popular but not popular, and has works but no works. How can she compete with Sister Tong? Just rely on her pretty face?"
"This is about choosing a heroine in a musical, not a vase! You can still get away with your face during filming, but musicals are offline performances. As long as you open your mouth, the audience will know how much you weigh!"
"If I were her, I would definitely not come here to embarrass myself. Look at how poor she is. She doesn't have more than a hundred yuan worth of clothing, right?"
"With such virtue, do you dare to compete with Sister Tong for the female lead in a musical? You are overestimating your abilities!"
Qin Zhitong smiled, letting the young artists around her praise her while trampling Murong Xue into the dust.
She has enough confidence and capital to instantly kill this little transparent person who has been in the industry for several years and has not yet become famous.
Although her singing skills are not as good as those of diva-level singers, how many real divas are there in the entertainment industry in this fast food era?
For a musical like this, diva-level tasks will not come. As for the remaining female singers, her singing skills are enough to give her an advantage in the selection.
People like Nie Jingjing, who are more popular than her, have outstanding looks and figures, but their singing skills are hard to describe. They rely on lip-synching for live performances and sound editing for albums. They have not dared to hold concerts since their debut.
She is better at singing but not as popular as her, so she is basically just a little transparent.
Therefore, she has an absolute advantage in the selection of the heroine of the musical this time.
What's more, she also has an investor and godfather, so this time she is the heroine!
Facing the arrogant Qin Zhitong and other young artists who were pretending to be powerful, Murong Xue lowered her head slightly and pretended not to hear their discussion at all.
But she is just a little girl after all, and hearing those people's merciless ridicule still makes her feel uncomfortable.
Xu Tian originally didn't want to pay attention to Qin Zhitong, but the other party took the initiative to provoke and show off his presence. Naturally, he would not swallow this breath alive.
"My artist is really not famous, and he doesn't have a prominent background. He has only one commercial song in his three years of debut. He has no other works. He may not be as good as you who come to audition for supporting roles."
Xu Tian's words were spoken in a calm manner, and in the eyes of outsiders, he felt that he was outweighing his own prestige by inflating other people's ambitions.
But then, he changed the subject.
"But the producer of this musical is Han Productions. In today's re-examination, the strength of the singers is more important than other factors."
"In terms of singing skills and appearance, Murong Xue is not inferior to anyone present. If there are no shady secrets in today's re-examination, she must be the heroine of the musical."
Xu Tian's words caused an uproar among the young artists around him.
"Who is this person? Isn't his tone too loud?"
"The new manager at Qingguo Music probably doesn't have much strength, otherwise how could the company entrust him with a transparent little guy who hasn't become popular in a few years?"
"I see that not only does he have no strength, he has no brains, and he doesn't understand what the occasion is. He even dares to brazenly say that Murong Xue is the heroine. It's really laughable!"
"It's nothing to be afraid of. It's not scary at all to attract hatred to yourself before the retest. Let's just treat it like a monkey show."
After Qin Zhitong heard Xu Tian's words, his face became extremely ugly.
Just when she was about to have an attack, the agent next to her spoke first: "You are Qingguo's new agent, right? You may not understand the rules of the entertainment industry when you first join the industry, otherwise you wouldn't dare to do this even if I gave you some courage.
You don’t understand respect and inferiority, and you speak arrogantly!”
"The entertainment industry is a place where qualifications are important. It's harder for a transparent person to get ahead than to reach the sky. If you are so confident now, it will be extremely embarrassing if you lose the election and get slapped on the spot later!"
Xu Tian smiled faintly: "It shouldn't be me or my artists who are slapped in the face."
"Haha, arrogant!" the agent said angrily.
"Is this considered arrogant?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I can be even more arrogant. I will wait for the re-examination later. Do you dare to call the media and have a live audition?"
