The Queen Travels to the Modern Times

Chapter 112: Choosing a Role

Huo Ping's film and television company is currently preparing to start filming a sinister drama. The script of this drama is a masterpiece, and Huo Ping has high hopes for it, even willing to invest all his wealth in it.

The selection of actors has become the focus of everyone's attention. Huo Ping personally screened and selected the most promising and capable actors from a large number of candidates. Among them, the heroine Lin Yue stood out with her excellent acting skills and unique temperament. The hero is the experienced Su Ran, who has long been famous in the film and television industry.

During the filming process, Huo Ping encountered many difficulties. The shortage of funds made him anxious and had to run around to attract investment. However, just when he thought everything was going on track, an accident happened.

The filming site was hit by a sudden rainstorm, which damaged the equipment and delayed the filming progress. Huo Ping was extremely anxious, but he could do nothing about it. Just when he was about to despair, Lin Yue and Su Ran stepped forward and offered to reduce their pay to help Huo Ping through the difficult times.

With everyone's joint efforts, the filming was finally coming to an end. But at this time, the script was accidentally leaked, and various pirated plots appeared on the Internet. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the play.

Huo Ping was furious and vowed to find out who was behind the incident. After a difficult investigation, he found out that it was his most trusted assistant who was bribed by his competitor and betrayed Huo Ping for profit.

Huo Ping was heartbroken, but he did not give up. At the last critical moment, he revised the ending, giving the play an unexpected climax. When the play was released, the audience was impressed by the wonderful plot and the excellent performances of the actors. The box office was a big hit, and Huo Ping's film and television company became famous overnight.

In Blue City, the atmosphere in the film and television industry has always been heated and tense. When the news that Huoping Company announced that it was going to film a movie came out, the whole city seemed to be boiling.

Actors from major film and television companies are gearing up and looking forward to making their mark in this drama.

Li Meng, a girl who came to Blue City from a small town with the dream of becoming a star, worked hard in her small film and television company. She had a pretty face and talented acting skills, but she had always lacked an opportunity to truly shine.

And this time, the play produced by Huoping Company is the light that may illuminate her future.

Unlike Li Meng, Lin Xiao is the leading actress of a large film and television company in Lancheng, with numerous stars and endless resources. Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity that could take her career to the next level.

On the day of the selection, the venue was packed with people. Li Meng was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but her eyes were full of determination. Lin Xiao was confident, elegant and calm.

After rounds of screening, Li Meng impressed the judges with her sincere emotions and unique performance style. Lin Xiao's performance was also outstanding as always.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Xiao would definitely get the important role, Huoping Company made a surprising decision - choosing Li Meng as the heroine.

It turns out that the boss of Huoping Company has been looking for actors who can truly move people's hearts, rather than being shrouded by fame and halo. Li Meng's simplicity and purity are exactly the soul that this play needs.

This decision caused a sensation in the film and television circles of Blue City, and Li Meng finally ushered in her glorious moment.

Huo Ping sat in a spacious conference room with the script he had worked so hard to complete spread out in front of him. The sunlight shone through the window onto the paper, as if injecting life into the words.

However, he never expected that once the audition news for this script was released, it would attract so many people to compete for the role.

Outside the conference room, the corridor was filled with actors with dreams in their hearts. Some of them were newcomers, their eyes full of expectation and nervousness; some were veteran actors who were full of confidence but could not hide their desire for the role.

Huo Ping looked at the list in his hand with mixed feelings. He knew that this was a recognition of his work, but it also meant that he had to make a difficult choice among so many outstanding people.

The first person to come in for the audition was a young girl, whose performance was full of passion but a little immature. Huo Ping frowned slightly and made some notes on the paper.

The next person to come in was an experienced actor, whose every movement and expression was just right. Huo Ping's eyes lit up, but he was still hesitant.

As the auditions went on, Huo Ping felt more and more depressed. Just when he was feeling exhausted, a plain-looking young man walked into the room. He looked a little nervous, but when he started to perform, the whole room seemed to be lit up by him. His performance was full of soul, and Huo Ping was deeply moved.

However, just when Huo Ping was about to decide on this young man, something unexpected happened. A well-known big-name actor suddenly showed up at the audition and claimed that he was determined to get the role. For a moment, the entire conference room fell into chaos. Huo Ping was in a dilemma and he didn't know how to choose.

In the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, Huo Ping still insisted on his original intention and chose the soulful young man. And this play, because of the outstanding performance of this young man, has become a classic.

Huo Ping is the director of this play, and he has devoted almost all his efforts to this play. From polishing the script to selecting actors, to arranging every scene, he does it all himself, striving for perfection.

However, just before the release, the film encountered a series of problems. First, the lead actor was accidentally injured during the promotion period and was unable to participate in some important promotional activities. Then, a competitor deliberately spread negative rumors in an attempt to affect the audience's expectations.

Huo Ping was extremely anxious, but he did not give up. He led other actors to work harder at various promotional sites and personally explained the wonderful aspects of the plot to the audience.

Just when everyone thought that the show might not start well, an unexpected turn of events occurred. After watching the film in advance, a well-known film critic gave it a very high evaluation and strongly recommended it on his social media. This recommendation instantly attracted widespread attention, and the audience's expectations were ignited again.

Finally, the film was released. The box office performance on the first day exceeded expectations. The audience spread the word, and more and more people went to the theater. Huo Ping stood outside the theater, looking at the long line of people buying tickets, his eyes full of excited tears. He had sincerely hoped that this drama would be a big hit at the box office, and it finally came true.

Huo Ping sat in his office, staring at the box office data on the computer screen, his heart filled with irrepressible excitement. This drama was his masterpiece, from conception to filming, he personally took care of every step, and now seeing the box office success, he knew that his efforts were not in vain.

He picked up the phone with trembling hands and dialed Fan Yuxuan's number. Fan Yuxuan's familiar voice soon came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Lao Huo, you are calling me at this time, is it bad news?" Huo Ping laughed and said: "Yuxuan, our play is a big hit at the box office!" Fan Yuxuan was stunned for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then burst into cheers.

The two met at a bar they often frequented. As soon as they met, Huo Ping hugged Fan Yuxuan tightly and said excitedly: "Brother, this time we have won a great victory!" Fan Yuxuan smiled and replied: "This is all thanks to you, Director Huo."

However, before they could be happy for long, shocking news came from the company. It turned out that a rival company claimed that the show had plagiarized their ideas and was preparing to sue, which could result in the company facing huge compensation. Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan's smiles froze instantly, and they knew that a more difficult battle was about to come.

The two immediately threw themselves into the work of dealing with the crisis, looking for evidence to prove their innocence. In the process, they discovered that there was a ghost inside the company who had been leaking secrets to competitors.

After a thrilling investigation and contest, they finally found the insider and successfully resolved the plagiarism storm. Because of this storm, the drama has attracted more attention, the box office continues to soar, and attracted more investment for the company. Huo Ping and Fan Yuxuan smiled at each other. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they worked hand in hand, no difficulties could stop them from moving forward.

Huo Yuan was lying lazily on the sofa, holding a half bag of potato chips in his hand, his eyes fixed on the screen of the TV series that had just ended, his heart full of joy was beyond words. He couldn't wait to pick up his phone and dial Huo Ping's number.

"Brother, this drama is so well made!" Huo Yuan's excited voice came over.

Huo Ping on the other end of the phone smiled, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue but also full of relief: "Haha, as long as you like it."

"Brother, please write another drama and start filming it next time. I can't wait to watch it!" Huo Yuan said eagerly.

Huo Ping was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Brother, writing a script is not that easy. You need inspiration and time to think about it."

"I know, brother, but I believe you can do it!" Huo Yuan said in a firm tone.

Huo Ping took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to write a better one!"

However, what Huo Ping didn't know was that a large film and television company had also noticed the play and was preparing to discuss long-term cooperation with him to promote his work to a wider stage. But this news was secretly concealed by Huo Ping's assistant, because the assistant was jealous of Huo Ping's talent and wanted to replace him.

While Huo Ping was still racking his brains for his next play, the assistant secretly took scripts from outside in Huo Ping's name, causing serious damage to Huo Ping's reputation.

Huo Yuan accidentally heard rumors about his brother and decided to investigate secretly. After some twists and turns, he finally discovered the assistant's conspiracy.

With Huo Yuan's help, Huo Ping exposed his assistant's evil deeds and regained his reputation. After all these twists and turns, he was inspired and created an even more brilliant script.

Huo Ping always felt that his life was dull and boring. He just went about his work in the company every day, doing a job he didn't like very much.

On that day, the company organized a cultural event and required each department to present a program. No one in Huo Ping's department was willing to take the lead, so he took on the task.

When Huo Ping got home at night, he sat in front of his computer and thought hard about what kind of program he should produce. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: Why not write a script?

Huo Ping started typing away on the keyboard. At first, he stumbled over his words and kept wondering if he could do it since he had never learned how to write a script.

But as he wrote, he seemed to have entered a whole new world, and inspiration kept coming to him.

When he showed the script to his colleague Fan Yuxuan, Fan Yuxuan was stunned, his eyes widened, and it took him a long time to recover. He said, "Huo Ping, you should change your career! This script is so well written!"

Huo Ping was a little overwhelmed by Fan Yuxuan's words, but a ripple appeared in his heart.

Since then, Huo Ping has been thinking about writing scripts whenever he has free time, and his works have become more and more outstanding.

Unexpectedly, by chance, Huo Ping's script was picked up by a well-known film and television company. They invited Huo Ping to join, and Huo Ping hesitated again and again, and finally decided to quit his current job and devote himself to the field of script writing.

From then on, Huo Ping started a new chapter in his life.

Huo Ping has always been a creative person with a keen interest in various art forms. But recently, he has developed a new skill - writing scripts.

Huo Ping likes to observe the people and things around him on weekdays. Those subtle emotional fluctuations and unintentional little movements have become precious materials in his eyes.

One day, he was walking in the park and saw an old man sitting alone on a bench, his eyes revealing endless longing. Huo Ping suddenly felt an urge to write a script for the old man, telling the love story of the old man when he was young.

After returning home, Huo Ping began to immerse himself in the creation. He forgot to eat and sleep, and was completely immersed in the world of the script. He incorporated the old man's thoughts, regrets, and deep love into the role.

After countless days and nights of hard work, the script was finally completed. Huo Ping happily showed the script to his friends, but his friends raised various opinions, which made him a little frustrated.

However, Huo Ping did not give up. He revised and improved his work repeatedly. Just when he was about to despair, by chance, his script was seen by a well-known director. The director praised his script and decided to make it into a movie.

On the day the filming started, Huo Ping was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that his dream was finally coming true. But just when the filming was in full swing, the lead actor was suddenly injured and could not continue to act. This was undoubtedly a huge blow, and the entire crew fell into chaos.

But Huo Ping was not defeated. He ran around and finally found a suitable actor to save the situation. In the end, the film was successfully shot and achieved great success after its release. Huo Ping also became famous overnight and became a highly regarded screenwriter.
