Chapter 1751: Chapter 847: Remarkable Work_3

"Let’s hold an open audition; for roles like this of young male artists, it’s best to find someone around the same age and temperament," Zhou Lan suggested. "Or, President Wu, do you have someone suitable in mind?"

"The actors signed by our company at this age are only Little Yu, but his temperament is not very idol-like," Wu Chengbao said.

Little Yu refers to Yu Zhiyang.

Zhou Lan waved his hand, "Then he won’t do. Which idol looks like him, huh? Totally doesn’t fit. Let’s go ahead with open auditions then."

"Also, the role of the heroine’s best friend, Ying Zi, is a crucial role, providing lots of support to the heroine," Wu Chengbao said. "Regarding this role, I want to recommend an actor from our company."

"Who?"

"Liu Lingxin, the heroine from ’Daughter Will Not Leave the Hall,’" Wu Chengbao introduced. "She signed with our company, and her character in the movie is smart, cute, and loves to act spoiled. This closely aligns with Liu Lingxin’s own personality, almost to the level of playing herself naturally. Of course, there are many actors who could play this role. I just thought since she’s close, we’d have the advantage. Many agencies tried to poach her, but she made no demands to us; she’s an honest kid, and I want to give her a gift."

Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan exchanged glances.

Zhou Lan said, "In that case, let Xiao Yun meet her first. As long as there are no major issues, we’ll definitely respect your opinion."

The group reached an agreement with mutual understanding.

Wu Chengbao finally asked, "Xiao Yun, when do you plan to shoot this movie? So we can create a schedule."

"I...I’m actually okay with the timing. I don’t have other filming plans later," Zhou Yun said. "My current workload is just until the end of this month. Of course, I’ll need to clear July next year, as ’Killing Song’ will be released globally. My contract includes promotional duties, which should take about half a month."

Wu Chengbao said, "Then we have ample time. Let’s prepare leisurely."

"That would be best."

By the end of the afternoon meeting, Zhou Yun felt like her bones were stiff from sitting.

In the evening, she went to the gym to exercise.

She was about to get busy.

’Chen Yin’ officially began its promotional activities on March 5th.

Director Kang Xin and Zhou Yun collaborated again on the series, featuring an all-star cast.

At the premiere of the first episode, Zhou Yun attended alongside Director Kang Xin, Zuo Bin, and Huang Zicheng.

Invited critics and media editors watched the first episode.

Zhou Yun also watched it for the first time.

The show’s style was unexpectedly somber.

As Zhou Yun’s portrayal of Chen Yin gradually revealed details of her life, the first episode ended with the unexpected death of a female classmate. Under the police investigation, Chen Yin was the last person who contacted her, and Chen Yin’s figure also appeared near the death scene on surveillance footage. Everyone was left eagerly wanting to know how the story would develop.

The first episode ended here.

Lively discussions immediately filled the room.

Zhou Yun excitedly said to Kang Xin, "Director, you filmed it brilliantly."

The reaction at the scene was enthusiastic.

"This level of production completely matches American and British series," a media editor said excitedly. "Director Kang is amazing; this episode is nearly forty-five minutes long, with a steady and comfortable pace and rich content."

"The character Chen Yin is very tragic and dark. Zhou Yun has never played such a realistic role before," someone said. "The first episode alone has three crying scenes, which are intense. Her explosive power is very strong; I’ve never seen Zhou Yun act so explosively in any drama before."

"Jiang Yuzhen’s portrayal of the mother is intense too. Several eye scenes made my hair stand on end. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuzhen wasn’t there; since ’Black Forest’ aired, she has garnered fans worldwide and spends most of her time working overseas."

"Yes, I wonder if Jiang Yuzhen will participate in ’Chen Yin’s promotions. Zhou Yun and Jiang Yuzhen playing mother and daughter will make for an excellent showdown."

"I’m eager to see the upcoming storyline."

"From the quality of the first episode, Director Kang Xin’s series has surpassed his past works, reaching a first-rate standard."

...

These voices were incessant at the scene.

Hearing these reviews, Zhou Yun’s mood also improved greatly.

She said to Kang Xin, "Director, it looks like you’ve created yet another remarkable work."
