The cast of The Condor released two messages in a row within a week.
"Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu have another 'difficult childbirth', and the production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been postponed."
At the media conference, a representative of the investors of the TV series explained: "The role of Xiao Long Nu has too high requirements for actors. It is difficult for us to decide, so we can only work slowly and carefully."
Regarding rumors in the industry that Nie Yuan and Liu Yifei have been cast as the male and female protagonists, the crew denied it at the meeting: "This is completely a rumor. In fact, so far, the actors are still auditioning, and no one has been decided. Otherwise, How could we delay the official launch until October?"
Five days later, another media broke the news: "The new version of Little Dragon Girl is still scheduled to be announced this week."
In previous interviews, producer Tie Fo agreed that Zhou Xun would play the role of Little Dragon Girl. However, Liu Yifei, Sun Feifei and others suddenly appeared in the film, covering up Zhou Xun's news.
Now the news of Zhou Xun being selected has been stirred up again, but it has caused a greater response on the Internet than before: "Ninety percent of netizens strongly object to Zhou Xun's role as Little Dragon Girl."
The next day, the agent of Yang Guo's popular Huang Xiaoming responded to this matter: "Maybe the crew has decided to use Zhou Xun to play the role of Xiao Longnu, so they have to find some points from her. Because Yang Guo is almost all hype. It’s boring, and then we’ll fire Xiao Longnu, that’s how we understand it.”
Huang Xiaoming responded to this matter entirely because there was a very offensive text after breaking the news about Zhou Xun starring in Xiao Longnu.
It was said that Zhou Xun's condition for starring in the role of Little Dragon Girl was to fire Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan. She felt that their popularity was not worthy of hers, so she asked the crew to find another Yang Guo from Hong Kong and Taiwan to co-star with her.
Zhou Xun himself said that he did not know whether he had said such words, but producers Tie Fo and Huang Xiaoming's companies both denied this: "Zhou Xun would not say such offending words."
At the same time, Zhang Yuanjun received a call from the deputy director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", informing him that Yang Guo's fourth round of auditions will be held in advance to 10 a.m. on the 13th. Zhang Yuanjun is requested to attend on time. If he does not come, he will automatically abstain.
Zhang Yuanjun promised to participate in the audition.
Time was very tight, and Zhang Yuanjun had to end his leisurely rural summer vacation life and return to Beijing.
When he came back, his mother was waiting for him at home, but when he left, he was alone in the huge house, and his heartless sister went directly to Pengcheng after traveling.
Zhang Yuanjun took off at such an awkward time as 12 noon. He didn't eat lunch and arrived at the college at 3 pm, which was another awkward time.
Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen also ended their summer vacation early and were waiting in the dormitory for Zhang Yuanjun's return.
The two of them didn't have a good summer vacation. They didn't get any serious roles, they only played bit parts, and other business deals weren't concluded. It can be said that they spent a lot of money and didn't get the work well.
"Did you really get in?" The two of them already knew that Zhang Yuanjun passed one round of Yang Guo's audition and came back early to prepare for the second round.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable being a baby at home? Why would I come back and suffer like this?" It's very tiring to do a scene.
After Zhang Yuanjun packed his luggage, he took out a Hibiscus King from the box: "Here it is for you two. I stole it from my dad's cabinet."
Zhang Yuanjun is the only one in the dormitory who doesn't smoke, while Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen are both heavy smokers.
There was a lot of tobacco and alcohol in the house, and Zhang’s father smoked Furong Wang and Huazi himself, who usually smoked the one- or two-thousand-dollar stuff.
Luo Zhu and the other two smiled sheepishly: "You said you don't smoke, but why are we smoking two cigarettes from you every year? How embarrassing."
"Look at how dead you two are, take it away quickly and treat me to dinner tonight. I didn't even eat at lunch."
"Okay, okay, you give your orders and I will make arrangements to ensure that Uncle Zhang is comfortable."
After packing his luggage, Zhang Yuanjun simply took a cold shower and felt much better.
"Ah, when will the school install air conditioning in the dormitories? It's too hot." Yes, the film school has not installed air conditioning in the dormitories yet. Each dormitory only has an electric fan hanging from the ceiling and shaking its head.
Zhang Yuanjun wore big pants and leaned on a chair with his shirt off: "When you become popular and make money in the future, donate money to the school to install air conditioners. When the time comes, I will award you an Outstanding Alumni, and maybe you will be on the campus news."
"The library doesn't open so early, otherwise I would have to go to the library to enjoy the air conditioning."
"Do you know which way the library door opens?" Luo Jin laughed.
He is a scumbag and cannot go to the library twice throughout the year.
The three of them were eating snacks and talking about their summer vacation experiences.
While they were chatting, Zhang Yuanjun’s cell phone rang, and the first sentence he heard when he picked it up was:
"take me Out to eat!"
"Why do I treat you to dinner! I owe you." Zhang Yuanjun replied.
"If I didn't leak the question to you, could you make it to the second round of auditions? Do you want me to dig out the text message records? You said you wanted to treat me to dinner." The other person was naturally Liu Yifei.
Zhang Yuanjun listened to the call, looked at Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen who were smoking next to him, and replied to the girl on the phone:
"Just in time, Luo Jin and Yawen will invite you to dinner tonight. Do you want to eat?"
Luo and Zhu looked over, and Zhang Yuanjun mouthed: "Liu Yifei."
Luo and Zhu nodded and said softly: "Call her over."
Liu Yifei on the other side of the phone teased: "You still do this kind of thing like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
"Just tell me whether you want to eat or not."
"Eat, why don't you eat if you have food to eat. But today's meal does not count as your invitation."
"Okay, okay, okay, if you say it doesn't count, just don't count it. You are so petty, planning this." Zhang Yuanjun said.
The two decided on a time and place, and before hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanjun specifically told her: "Don't drive over here. Do you know that you are driving without a license?"
"Oh, you don't care whether I drive or not." Liu Yifei became impatient.
The sun was sinking and the air was not so hot anymore. The three of them chatted in the dormitory for a while. After seeing that the time was almost up, they changed their clothes and went out.
It was only mid-August, and the campus was still deserted. It was evening again, and the three of them saw no one while walking on the road.
The three of them walked out of the north gate and walked east to the Peony Garden, where a new Chaoshan hotpot restaurant opened.
Zhang, Luo and Zhu, two from Gan Province and one from Jiangsu Province, are not very fond of hot pot, but they all know that Liu Yifei is a loyal fan of hot pot, so they chose hot pot.
This newly opened store earns students' money. School hasn't started yet and it's a hot day, so there's not much business.
The three of them found a seat by the window and took their orders first, waiting for Liu Yifei to arrive.
As soon as they got on the pot, Liu Yifei arrived in a taxi, wearing a hat and a mask.
"Aren't you hot?" Zhu Yawen asked as soon as Liu Yifei sat down next to Zhang Yuanjun.
"It's hot, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's hot. I'm afraid people will recognize it." Who did you learn this stinky character from?
"Hey, the fairy sister is so popular. Hurry up and give me some autographs. When one day I run out of food, selling your autographed photos can help." Zhang Yuanjun joked.
After Liu Yifei sat down, she thoughtfully asked Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen what they were doing during the summer vacation.
Zhang Yuanjun didn't need to ask. She caught cicadas while fishing and swimming in the village after returning home. She knew all this.
The four of them ate, drank, and chatted without saying much.
