Ye Wanwan watched coldly by the side as the crew got everything they wished for and prepared for the live broadcast with high efficiency .
They already concluded that Luo Chen's skills weren't as good as other actors, and they were eagerly waiting to see Lin Luo Chen used as a stepping stone to advance Xu Ming's career, thus maximizing the benefits .
Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan was taking advantage of this exact mentality of the crew in addition to Xu Ming's ego to smoothly execute this live broadcast .
Luo Chen turned to Ye Wanwan, feeling a little guilty for deciding to agree to Xu Ming's bet . "Ye-ge . . . I . . . was I too impulsive just now?"
Ye Wanwan laughed . "Impulsive? I thought we were on the same page?"
The live public broadcast was initiated by her first after all .
By obtaining affirmation from Ye Wanwan, it was like Luo Chen's teetering little boat gained a sail . There was now a determination in his eyes .
At this point in time, the selection of roles for "Terrifying Dragon 2" was a hot topic and the casting drew even more attention . Once news of the crew changing the casting to a live public broadcast went out, almost every netizen was filled with excitement .
Ever since live broadcasts were popularized, this was the first time a production actually had a live broadcast of a casting, so this broadcast attracted many viewers due to its novelty .
Shortly after, the live broadcast began .
All the candidates drew lots for their casting sequence then each individual auditioned in sequence .
To facilitate the live broadcast, the casting venue was changed to a big hall that could accommodate up to 100 people . While the artists auditioned, other artists waiting for their turn could also watch from the side so that there would be total transparency .
The crew arranged for the stage manager to be the host for this live broadcast and he explained the reason for having a live broadcast this time, embellishing the story .
The main idea was that Luo Chen's staff started the provocation and Xu Ming took up the challenge to prove his abilities, so they opted for a live public broadcast .
In order to build up the hype, the stage manager even mentioned the wager between Xu Ming and Luo Chen .
The bullet screen [1] started to flood with comments and was very quickly taken over by Xu Ming's fans .
[Damn! What the h*** . Aside from Xu Ming, is no one else allowed to play the role of Lin Luo Chen? However perfect things may seem, better actors can always show up . Isn't this a little too arrogant, huh?]
[I admit that the original Lin Luo Chen was indeed a classic, but Luo Chen hasn't acted for three years . Who knows whether he can perform as well as before?]
[In contrast, everyone can see our Xu Ming's acting and how diligent he's been ever since his debut . He even cleared his schedule to go abroad for a few months to improve himself! This is the attitude needed for the role . Someone who idles his time away, not producing any work for so many years and only dishes up the same old stuff to gain popularity won't cut it!]
[Exactly, exactly . Our Xu Ming has "1987," "Three People's Travel" and "Everything is Wonderful" . . . over ten classic works while Luo Chen only has one - "Terrifying Dragon . " Is he only going to count on "Terrifying Dragon" his whole life? He even wants to freeload on the popularity of the casting!]
[Ming Ming, all the best! Make him lose till his own mother doesn't recognize him!]
. . .
Aside from Xu Ming's fans, the original fans and some onlookers expressed their concerns .
[Actually, compared to other candidates, I'm most scared that the role of Lin Luo Chen would be ruined in the hands of the original actor . The memory of my favorite classic film would be ruined!]
[That's right - if Luo Chen can't handle this role, why not let our memories stop at the beautiful moments!]
. . .
In order to increase the level of excitement and hype, the production team positioned Xu Ming and Luo Chen's castings at the end on purpose .
The harsh fans of the original work criticized almost every candidate like they were worthless . Song Jin Lin was also unsatisfied with the performances of many candidates and his brows were furrowed from beginning till end . . .
