After the love-brain rebirth, he became popular in the love variety show

"Xiaoxiao, we have received a notice that you are invited to play the female lead in "The Legend of Qingdai"!"

Pei Xiao was preparing dinner with Pei Xiujie when she received Li Yue's call. When she heard that she could be the heroine of "The Legend of Qingdai", Pei Xiao couldn't help but cheered in surprise, which scared Pei Xiujie.

Pei Xiao hung up the phone. Pei Xiujie was looking at her in confusion. Pei Xiao smiled and rushed towards Pei Xiujie. Pei Xiujie caught her with one hand and did not forget to turn off the fire on the stove with the other hand.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Sister Li just informed me that I have been chosen as the female lead in "The Legend of Qingdai"!"

Pei Xiujie picked up Pei Xiao and spun him around, and Pei Xiao was so scared that she hugged Pei Xiujie's neck tightly.

"Then it seems we have to celebrate today."

Pei Xiujie knew how much effort Pei Xiao had put in for this role, and he was very happy for Pei Xiao.

"Open the bottle of red wine and let me give you a taste of my treasure."

Pei Xiujie was at Pei Xiao's house today. Pei Xiao thought about it for a while and made a suggestion.

"Then I am taking advantage of the heroine today. I will celebrate for you tomorrow."

What Pei Xiao didn't know was that the process of choosing her to play the female lead was full of twists and turns.

At the casting scene of "The Legend of Qingdai", the director, screenwriter, producer, assistant director and other staff were a little uneasy, because at this time, the biggest sponsor of "The Legend of Qingdai" was looking at their cast list at the casting scene. When the producers were preparing for the filming of "The Legend of Qingdai", they did not intend to find the kind of investors who like to put their own people into the crew, so they deliberately avoided Fu's Entertainment. After all, the previous incident of Fu's Entertainment interfering in the filming of "Rain Falls in Chang'an" was widely circulated in the circle.

Although Fu's Entertainment is very powerful, directors and producers with ideas do not want the sponsor to intervene too much. In fact, isn't the most criticized thing about the reputation of "Rain Falls in Chang'an" the female lead who was replaced by Fu's Entertainment and the styling that was changed to meet Fu's Entertainment's requirements?

However, there are few financial sponsors in the industry who can be as generous as Fu's Entertainment. After careful selection, they chose Zhuyao Capital, which originally developed overseas and had just entered China. It is said that it was very generous when investing in "Love in the Empty Mountain", with high money and little trouble, which is exactly their ideal financial sponsor.

But please, who can tell them why the sponsors would show up in person at the casting scene now?

"Well, Mr. Liu, we had agreed with your company not to interfere with our filming-related matters."

Several people looked at each other, and finally the producer spoke hesitantly.

"I know. I just want to see who you will choose and get a basic understanding. Don't worry about me."

Liu Sijing looked at Pei Xiao's photo in the pile of photos and spoke lightly.

In fact, several people did not believe what Liu Sijing said, but they could not drive the sponsor out, so they had to bite the bullet and start the discussion.

Gradually, the discussion among them became more and more interesting, and Liu Sijing really did not disturb them as he said.

There was little competition for minor roles, so they were quickly chosen. Several suitable actors were initially chosen for important supporting roles.

The most difficult decision, of course, was the selection of the female lead Liu Qingdai, who also had the largest number of auditionees. Among them, several had been considered by the director and screenwriter to be more suitable for other supporting roles. With the elimination of Liu Qingdai's competition, there were only three people left.

The producer first pointed out Chen Yuxin, who is considered a first-line actress in the circle and has the title of "Da Qingyi". She and the queen Jiang Ziyi each occupy half of the sky in the film and television industry. If she is allowed to participate in the film, not to mention the guaranteed ratings, there is no need to worry about her acting skills. However, the director felt that Liu Qingdai entered the palace when she was a teenager and took up a lot of scenes during her teenage years. Chen Yuxin is now 33 years old and a little older. Even if she has a bonus in acting skills, he is worried that she will make the audience feel out of place in the picture.

The screenwriter prefers Wen Yu, whose image is more in line with the original heroine. Wen Yu often plays gentle roles since her debut, which is quite consistent with the description of the heroine in the original novel as pure and beautiful, like the new moon and clear sunshine.

The casting director looked at Pei Xiao, who was at the edge and was not considered, and asked weakly:

"Why don't you consider Pei Xiao? I felt like she performed pretty well during her audition."

His words made Liu Sijing look at him. Following the casting director's words, the director looked at the photo of Pei Xiao on the side, and suddenly the scene of Pei Xiao carefully handing him the character biography with both hands flashed in his mind.

"Pei Xiao's appearance is quite aggressive, and this kind of bright and generous facial features is more suitable for the imperial concubine."

The screenwriter stroked his chin and expressed his opinion.

"Indeed, her facial features are very impressive, and she performed very well during the on-site audition for the role of the imperial concubine that day."

The director nodded in agreement.

Liu Sijing frowned calmly.

"By the way, Pei Xiao sent me a collection of her videos. You can take a look at them. I think she is quite sincere."

The casting director scratched his head and suddenly remembered the video that Pei Xiao's agent had sent him. He took a look at it at the time. It contained some cuts of Pei Xiao in ancient costumes. He felt that it would be quite helpful for the director to decide on the role, so the casting director saved it.

"There's no need to watch this. I think Pei Xiao is good at playing the role of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine should be bright and beautiful. I think none of the people who auditioned for the role of the imperial concubine were as suitable as her. I think what the screenwriter said makes sense. Wen Yu is quite suitable for playing the female lead. During the audition, she looked very charming. Moreover, Wen Yu has a high reputation online. Fans of the original novel think she is very suitable for Liu Qingdai. Wasn't it for this reason that we invited her to audition?"

The assistant director waved his hand, leaned back in his chair and spoke gruffly. Seeing this, the casting director didn't dare to say anything.

The director frowned and recalled that Wen Yu's performance was not as touching as Pei Xiao's. Wen Yu's image was indeed more in line with Liu Qingdai's image, and her acting was also good. But in the same scene, Wen Yu's performance was not as touching as Pei Xiao's. The director was also shocked by Pei Xiao's tears at the time, and could feel the effort Pei Xiao put in.

only……

The director looked at Pei Xiao's photo again. What the assistant director said was right. People on the Internet did think that Wen Yu's image was more suitable for Liu Qingdai. That was why they contacted Wen Yu for an audition.

In fact, although Wen Yu's performance was not so amazing, it was also quite satisfactory. The director sighed silently in his heart, thinking of the character biography that Pei Xiao had carefully written, and couldn't help but sigh that working in the entertainment industry is really a matter of time, place, and people. Hard work alone is not enough without a little luck.

But the role of the imperial concubine is also outstanding. With Pei Xiao's efforts, she will definitely become famous with this role. The director comforted himself in his heart.

"Let's take a look. They've prepared everything. What if you have new ideas after reading it?"

Liu Sijing's words startled everyone. He had not spoken the whole time, and everyone had almost forgotten his existence after the heated discussion. But his sudden proposal made everyone a little confused.
