The Legend of Sword and Fairy Project Begins, Ling Yi and Jiang Qingqing Stir Things Up!
The situation at Linquan Entertainment is better than Ling Yi had imagined, and its operating model is very healthy.
The management team, from top to bottom, is already very complete.
Of course, there were also corrupt officials, cronies, and incompetent people who were just pretending to be in positions of power.
However, the overall operating model was indeed very successful.
After spending a few days learning about Linquan Entertainment, Ling Yi directly handed over the management of Linquan Entertainment to Ge Hong.
Ge Hong has the ability to control other people's emotions, and this ability is precisely what allows him to better control people's hearts.
As for Ge Hong, he is a bad person who has done so many bad things and killed so many people. Why was he still subdued instead of being punished?
Well, the more official explanation is that after being bound by Ling Yi's Soul Contract, Ge Hong's original consciousness disappeared and was instead controlled by the puppet's consciousness.
Ge Hong is no longer Ge Hong. His abilities, memories, and physical body are still there, but his consciousness is no longer that of the person he once was.
This official statement was issued partly to explain it to Jiang Qing'er.
Jiang Qing'er pouted for a long time because of Ge Hong's matter.
Ling Yi had to give an explanation.
The other one is for certain Big Smarty; those who know, know!
These days, there are so many "Ma Liya " types, it's unbelievable.
"The Legend of the Legend of Sword and Fairy project has already started. The operations department is allocating resources, forming a working group, and the director team has also begun public bidding for recruitment."
Ge Hong held the Computer in one hand and fiddled with it with the other.
"Besides the role of the Wine Sword Immortal, the recruitment of other actors is also underway. Most of the roles should be confirmed by now. The male lead has been confirmed, but the female lead has not yet been decided."
The reason the role of the Wine Sword Immortal wasn't offered through open recruitment is because Ling Yi decided to play the role himself.
"Is it that you can't decide, or that you haven't found the right person?" Ling Yi asked.
"It's still undecided; there's a disagreement within the audition team."
As he spoke, Ge Hong handed the Computer to Ling Yi: "These are all actresses who fit the role of Zhao Ling'er."
Ling Yi flipped through the list and found that they were all Great Ming he knew well from his previous life.
This includes Liu Qianqian, Diza, Jin Li, Liu Gangan, and others.
To be honest, apart from Jin Li, in Ling Yi's opinion, all of them could play Zhao Ling'er: Diza, Liu Gangan, Liu Qianqian.
It's not that Jin Li's acting skills are bad, but rather that Jin Li is simply not suited for acting; Jin Li's better suited to being a variety show personality.
As for Diza, she fits Ling Yi's aesthetic perfectly. As for acting skills, well, in Ling Yi's opinion, they're all about the same!
Liu Qianqian's acting skills are not necessarily much better than Diza's or Liu Gangan's.
In Ling Yi's opinion, whether an actor's performance is good or not depends on two factors: the script, the director's ability, and only lastly, the actor's skill.
As for the acting skills of these individuals, Ling Yi thought they were all equally bad.
Of course, this was Ling Yi's perception of the four of them from his previous life.
It's hard to say exactly how.
After all, Ling Yi had never had any contact with them, nor did he know anything about them, whether in his previous life or this one.
"The last audition is this afternoon, boss, why don't you go check it out?" Ge Hong suggested.
"Okay, let's go take a look!" Ling Yi nodded.
I have nothing to do this afternoon anyway, might as well go check it out.
Ling Yi didn't directly designate Liu Qianqian, wanting to see if Jin Li and the other two could handle the role of Zhao Ling'er.
"By the way, don't tell anyone I went to the interview."
"Clear!"
"Finally, it came down to the special effects team. All the top domestic special effects teams refused to cooperate!"
"Why? Is it because the money wasn't enough?" Ling Yi frowned.
"No, it's because they're asking for an exorbitant price, more than ten times the market value, which we naturally won't agree to."
"So what do you think?" Ling Yi asked.
Before Ge Hong could speak, Jiang Qing'er, who was eating fries next to him, said, "They're treating us Big Head!"
"Now the whole internet knows you're a nouveau riche; in less than five days, you've launched over a dozen projects, each with an investment of over 200 million."
Everyone says you're a foolish, rich, and wasteful spendthrift!
"I'll figure out the special effects!"
Ling Yi is rich, but not a complete scoundrel, especially not so blatantly acting like one; he's practically courting death.
"We will issue a public announcement stating that our company will no longer collaborate with these special effects companies on any future film or television productions it invests in."
"Understood!" Ge Hong nodded.
Jiang Qing'er then asked, " Uncle, can you really solve the special effects problem?"
"We have the Money Power, no problem!"
At 2:30 PM, Ling Yi used his Money Power to change his appearance, transforming himself back into a 60-year-old man.
My role changed to a cleaner at the job interview.
At this moment, Ling Yi, dressed in a cleaning worker's uniform, was pushing a trash can and waiting at one end of the corridor.
Jiang Qing'er was right next to him, also dressed as a cleaner, and also appeared to be an old woman with a frail appearance.
" Uncle, when I get old, will I really look like this?" Jiang Qing'er asked worriedly, looking at her aged self in the camera lens while holding her phone.
Ling Yi thought to himself, "This is what you'll look like when you're old."
However, Jiang Qing'er is currently cultivating an internal energy cultivation method that resembles a cultivation technique for immortality.
One can live to 120 years old at the Third Realm, 180 years old at the Fourth Realm, 250 years old at the Fifth Realm, and Wu Bai at the Sixth Realm.
With Jiang Qing'er's talent, reaching the Fifth Realm wouldn't be difficult, and breaking through to the Sixth Realm is also possible.
Wu Bai! Even if Jiang Qing'er lived to be two or three hundred years old, she would still be able to maintain her youthful appearance.
"As long as you cultivate diligently, your appearance will not Changes much for at least three hundred years," Ling Yi explained casually.
"Besides, we have the Money Power, right? We can easily give you eternal youth."
Just then, a commotion arose downstairs.
The two looked out the window and saw that a group of people had gathered downstairs at some point.
Judging by the quantity, there are at least around a thousand.
Looking down from above, it's like watching a zombie army in a zombie movie.
Just then, a car stopped outside the crowd, and the first beautiful woman got out of the car.
[Name: Jin Li (Already Bound)]
[Occupation: Celebrity]
[State: Nervous, Excited]
[Appearance value: 94]
[ Heartthrob Points: 5]
Unexpectedly, the first to arrive was the Jin Li.
As the Jin Li stepped off the vehicle, it immediately drew cheers from the surrounding crowd. If it weren't for the guardrails and security guards, Ling Yi would have worried that the Jin Li might have been swallowed up by these "zombies."
Ling Yi shook his head. "I really can't understand the mentality of these fans."
"That's true. They're just celebrities. What's the point of following them? Can they bring you good fortune or put food on the table?"
Jiang Qing'er was clearly not a fan of celebrities.
For those who follow celebrities, there are few positive benefits, but a lot of negative ones.
Some stole money from their families to chase after celebrities, some ran away from home, some took out loans to buy gifts for their idols, and some even threatened suicide.
Just as Ling Yi couldn't understand those "Xiao Xian Nü, he also couldn't understand the thoughts of these fans.
No, in Ling Yi's eyes, none of these fans are as good as those Xiao Xian Nü.
That Xiao Xian Nü's every action is self-centered, selfish, and prioritizes her own interests.
But what about the fans? They're practically contributing, even paying out of their own pockets!
"Let's go, it's our turn to get things done!"
"No, seriously? Don't you already have someone in mind? Why bother with this?"
"Or shall we go back now?" Ling Yi rolled her eyes.
"Since we're already here, hehe!"
The two pushed the garbage cart directly to the elevator entrance and blocked it.
The garbage truck, though small, just happened to block the elevator.
A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened.
Jin Li and her agent appeared in the elevator.
Jin Li paused for a moment when she saw the garbage truck blocking the elevator entrance.
"Sorry, please wait one floor!" Jin Li reacted quickly and pressed the button to close the elevator.
And then I pressed the button for the 13th floor.
The interview was on the 12th floor, Jin Li went straight to the 13th floor, clearly intending to go down the stairs from the 13th floor to the 12th floor.
Ling Yi and Jiang Qing'er looked at each other in bewilderment.
"How do you explain this? We haven't even started our operation yet, and they've already broken the deadlock?"
"That reaction was pretty quick. I'll give him a pass!" Ling Yi shrugged.
He hadn't expected Jin Li to pull this stunt; her reaction was truly swift.
A moment later, the elevator doors opened again, but Jin Li and her agent were no longer there.
They had obviously already gotten off the elevator on the thirteenth floor.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Jin Li appeared on the twelfth-floor corridor with her agent.
Just then, the electromagnetic field was switched off again.
Four people, eight eyes facing each other.
Jin Li's eyes lit up, and she ran over to ask, "Are you guys up to something?"
"You figured it out!" Jiang Qing'er's words revealed her identity.
"You're not Blind Man. You wouldn't get in the elevator when there was no one there. You were obviously trying to cause trouble."
Is it part of the audition?
"I want to know exactly how to play!"
Ling Yi gave Jiang Qing'er a look that said, "You tell me!"
"I'll pretend to be sick later..." Jiang Qing'er revealed her plan in detail.
Ling Yi and his friends' plan was simple: when the elevator doors opened, one of them would pretend to be sick and faint, wanting to see what Jin Li and the others would do.
Those who help pass the level; those who don't are eliminated.
"No, this isn't a company interview, is it really necessary to do this?" Jin Li asked, puzzled.
"There's no other way. All four of you are pretty much the same, so it doesn't matter who plays Zhao Ling'er. It's hard to choose, so we can only do it this way!" Ling Yi said with a shrug.
The Jin Li is quite good-looking, after all, it scores 94 points.
Is it really not good enough for Jin Li to play Zhao Ling'er?
Looking closely at the Jin Li carp, this girl exudes a Spiritual Qi aura.
It doesn't seem like it's impossible... right?
Ling Yi's preference for Liu Qianqian is simply due to nostalgia.
But in this world, the Legend of Sword and Fairy hasn't been released yet, and the sentiment is only Ling Yi's sentiment, not the sentiment of the audience in this world towards the Legend of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, or towards Liu Qianqian.
"So I've cleared the game, right?" Jin Li asked excitedly.
"Although... well, I guess I've still cleared the game!"
"So that means I have the opportunity to play Zhao Ling'er?"
