539: Xiong Tang was furious: That damn brat, he wasted all those expressions I made...
Because the new drama's title was 'god of gamblers', it didn't seem to need a Female Lead.
So, Wang Zuxian, just as she had said, thought that although she missed the opportunity this time, there might be one next time.
Her good friend Xiao Xin felt the same way.
But to their surprise, not long after their casual chat, another piece of news arrived:
'In CEO Xu's new drama 'god of gamblers', Wang Zuxian will once again play the Female Lead!'
"I'm the Female Lead again? Is that true?"
Wang Zuxian mumbled, a little disbelieving.
Xiao Xin, who was beside her, was even happier and quickly said:
"Of course it's true, this news came from Producer Feng. In fact, it can be taken as a definite announcement.
Your character in the film 'god of gamblers' is named A Zhen, and I heard she's the protagonist's girlfriend.
Group Leader, your luck is too good! Director Xu really values you, letting you play the Female Lead again. I'm so envious!"
Wang Zuxian also smiled.
However, thinking that her good friend didn't have a role yet, she couldn't show too much happiness.
So she could only say:
"Yes, I'm really too lucky. I didn't expect to play the Female Lead again, but Xiao Xin, don't be discouraged.
CEO Xu's new drama has just been announced, so not many roles should be confirmed yet. You should be able to find your own role then!"
"Alas, I hope so. I'm not you; CEO Xu probably doesn't have me in mind!"
Xiao Xin said, feeling sorry for herself.
At the same time.
Other artists from Da Xu Culture discussed it after learning about the news:
"I didn't expect Wang Zuxian to be chosen as the Female Lead by CEO Xu again. With two consecutive films promoting her, she's definitely going to be a hit!"
"Actually, after filming 'a chinese ghost story', Wang Zuxian was already popular, wasn't she? Continuing as the Female Protagonist this time is just natural."
"It has to be CEO Xu. As long as you can play a Female Lead in his drama, fame is within reach."
"But I heard Director Xu's new drama has two male leads this time. Besides him, there will be another male lead role."
..."No way! Really? I wonder who will get that lucky. Being a dual male lead partner with CEO Xu, that's incredibly lucky, even luckier than Wang Zuxian!"
"Yes, with CEO Xu leading, and as one of the two male leads, this lineup is too strong."
"It's a pity I don't have a face for a protagonist, otherwise... alas, God is too unfair."
"I don't even hope for a protagonist role. Being a supporting Actor in CEO Xu's new drama would be amazing."
...On the other side, Reba and Boss Yang, who also heard the news, were discussing it.
"I'm not surprised that Wang Zuxian continues to play the Female Lead.
After all, her performance in the previous film 'a chinese ghost story' was remarkable, and her popularity has risen.
Da Xu Culture just needs to give her another push, and she'll firmly secure a position as a top Celebrity.
What I didn't expect is that Xu Lu's new anti-gambling public welfare drama would be titled 'god of gamblers'. The contrast is too great!"
Boss Yang exclaimed with emotion.
Reba smiled upon hearing this and said:
"I think this is Xu Lu's style. It would be strange if he actually made a rigid public welfare drama!
However, I heard that besides Wang Zuxian playing the Female Lead in this new drama, there's also another male lead. I wonder who it will be."
Boss Yang guessed:
"If chosen from within Da Xu Culture's artists, I personally feel Eddie Peng has a greater chance.
Because Da Xu Culture currently only has a few presentable male artists, while there are many famous female artists.
And Actors like 'Uncle Jiu', who specialize in zombie film, are definitely not suitable, as their age doesn't meet the requirements... But if Xu Lu targets the entire film and television industry, then I don't know who he will choose to play this male lead."
Reba nodded and said:
"Who knows? Normal people can't understand Xu Lu's way of thinking!"
Hearing this, Boss Yang immediately laughed:
"True, we can only wait and see!"
...As the news spread, Our CEO Xu's fans once again became lively:
[Hahahaha, Director Xu's new drama is called 'god of gamblers', as expected of a title Director Xu would come up with, amazing!]
[By the way, doesn't this feel a bit contrary to that anti-gambling public welfare theme?]
[Don't talk nonsense. As the saying goes, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' 'god of gamblers' must be the same.]
[Exactly! First become a god of gamblers, then turn over a new leaf to fight against gambling. There's nothing wrong with that...]
...[Wang Zuxian is playing the Female Protagonist again; I didn't expect my previous guess to be correct.
What I didn't expect is that Director Xu's new drama this time will have two male leads. Is this the first time?]
[It seems so. Director Xu's previous films didn't have any dual male lead types.]
[Who will Director Xu invite to play the other male lead? It's worth looking forward to.
In fact, wanting to partner with Director Xu for this role is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.]
[Yes, so either they promote a newcomer, or they find an Actor of Film Emperor level from outside...]
...Just as fans were guessing who the other of the two protagonists would be.
Over at Xia Lifei Film and Television.
Xiong Tang, who had heard the news, couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! This kid surnamed Xu is dishonest. Didn't you take over an anti-gambling public welfare film?
Now you're naming it 'god of gamblers'? What kind of nonsense is this? Where is the 'anti-gambling' in this at all?"
Xiong Tang was utterly furious at this moment.
He originally thought Da Xu Culture had made a blunder this time.
He didn't expect that kid surnamed Xu to be so unscrupulous, purely deceiving people.
Xiong Tang had felt he had already probed the other party's bottom line.
So he thought this time, the kid surnamed Xu would at least suffer a small loss, if not a big one.
But who knew he found that kid to be far more unscrupulous than he imagined!
You agreed to make an 'anti-gambling public welfare' movie, and you give me a 'god of gamblers'?
After cursing for a while, Xiong Tang deflated like a punctured balloon.
If Da Xu Culture had honestly made that public welfare film this time, he would still have had a show to watch.
But the other party's actions completely deprived him of that opportunity.
With so many previous experiences, Xiong Tang's sense of lucky (luck/hope) was basically exhausted.
Thinking about being happy for nothing these past few days, Xiong Tang couldn't help but curse again under his breath:
"This damn kid, wasting so many of my expressions for nothing, damn it!"
