After the divorce, I became a rich girl

The top artists of the company looked down upon this fantasy project. In their eyes, this production team was nothing more than a makeshift group.

Take producer Ella for example. Although she is a long-time employee of Universal Pictures, she has always been responsible for public relations and public opinion affairs. She has never been a so-called "producer"? Does she know what kind of work this "producer" has to do?

Look at the director again. He is just a fresh-faced young man who just graduated. He has no practical experience in shooting large-scale dramas. Can he coordinate so many staff members and complicated matters in a crew? They can't trust such a new director with no work experience.

There is also the screenwriter Xie Xu, who wrote a fairly famous script more than a decade ago, but after so many years, he has not produced any outstanding results and has almost lost his presence in this circle.

More importantly, this time they used an original script, which had neither a fan base to support it nor the value of the IP itself. In their opinion, shooting this fantasy project was a pure waste of time, and it would be better for them to just go out and participate in a variety show to get more exposure and effects.

Qi Yu got out of the car and walked into the company. He went up to the floor where his office was located. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw many newly signed artists in the company walking downstairs in a hurry. He quickly reached out and grabbed one of them by the sleeve and asked, "What are you going to do in such a hurry?"

That person naturally knew Qi Yu. After all, Qi Yu was the manager of Zhuang Yi, the top man in the company, and was also quite famous in the entertainment industry. He immediately responded, "We are just about to go for an audition."

Qi Yu asked again: "Is it the new Xianxia project that the company has launched?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Ai sent a notice this morning saying that anyone interested in participating in this project can go for an audition. Didn't you receive the notice?"

Qi Yu then let go of the hand holding the man's sleeve, and said with a smile on his face: "Got it. Go ahead!"

After the man left, Qi Yu walked straight towards his office.

After returning to the office, he made himself a cup of coffee. Thinking back to the various experiences he had during this period of time while negotiating endorsements, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He now truly understood what it meant to be "a tiger in dire straits being bullied by a dog". Back then, all those people had begged him, hoping that Zhuang Yi would take over their projects and endorsements, but now, they were starting to dislike Zhuang Yi.

In fact, Qi Yu could understand the concerns of those people. After all, Zhuang Yi's current situation was indeed dragged down by Universal Pictures. Now he only hoped that Zhuang Yi's contract with Universal Pictures could be terminated as soon as possible.

Just as he was immersed in thinking about these things, the office door was kicked open from the outside. Zhuang Yi lowered his head and concentrated on playing games on his mobile phone, while casually closing the door with his foot. Then he walked straight to the sofa as if he knew the way, and then lay down on the sofa casually, playing games without taking his eyes off the phone the whole time.

"Brother Qi, how was your outing today? Did you finalize that project?" Zhuang Yi's eyes were fixed on the game screen on his mobile phone, but he was asking about things that concerned him.

Qi Yu sighed helplessly and responded: "It didn't work out. They just rejected it directly."

Zhuang Yi paused in his game operation. Although he was disappointed, he was prepared for this outcome. After all, Universal Pictures had a good reputation. He whispered, "I expected this result."

Qi Yu stared at Zhuang Yi, thought for a moment and said, "Zhuang Yi, do you want to audition for the new Xianxia project that the company has just launched?"

Qi Yu finished speaking and looked at Zhuang Yi. However, Zhuang Yi seemed not to hear what Qi Yu said and just kept shouting, "There's someone ahead, there's someone ahead, don't move, I'm going to snipe him from the opposite building!"

About ten minutes later, Zhuang Yi suddenly threw his phone onto the sofa with a bad look on his face. Qi Yu knew in his heart that he was "killed" in the game again.

Zhuang Yi sat up slowly, ruffled his messy hair, and said with disdain, "Do you think I can participate in a project with such a makeshift team? If I really participated in this project, it would be a lowering of my status, and it would definitely not be worth it in the end."

Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh again, and advised earnestly: "But think about it, how long has it been since you last joined the crew? Although you are still among the ranks of first-line artists, how can an actor go without exposure for a long time? Not showing up for a long time and having no works is tantamount to 'chronic suicide' for an actor."

Zhuang Yi disagreed and responded, "There's nothing we can do about it. My contract with the company still has six months left. Wait another half year, and I'll terminate the contract after this half year."

I'm about to leave this company, and I can't add fuel to the fire at the last minute."

Qi Yu sincerely hoped that Zhuang Yi could participate in this project of the company. Although the team they had assembled did not seem very reliable, he thought that this was after all the first project after President Li took over the company, so it would not be messed up.

Just looking at Zhuang Yi who was starting a new game on the sofa, Qi Yu sighed helplessly. Since he couldn't be persuaded, then let it be for now. In this situation, he could only take it one step at a time.

On the other side, Ella, Wu Zhian, Xie Xu and others were conducting rounds of internal auditions for the artists from the company who came to audition.

Wu Zhian has carefully studied the entire script. To be honest, he is very fond of this passionate fairy tale style.

He knew in his heart that if he could control every aspect during filming, the post-production was good enough, and the actors' acting skills were good enough, the project would definitely not be bad.

During the artist interview process, Ella mainly exercises overall control and does not interfere too much in specific matters.

In fact, the interviews were mainly conducted by Wu Zhian and Xie Xu. After all, they both already had a clear idea of ​​what their ideal protagonist should look like.

Among the many candidates, a newcomer named Gu Yuze stood out with his eye-catching performance style.

Wu Zhian looked down at Gu Yuze's information in his hand and found that he had only been signed to the company for two years. He had never played any role before and had only appeared a few times in a few unpopular variety shows.
