Two days later, the casting event for the new drama finally came to an end.
The choice for the male lead was also finalized. His name is He Hongpeng, handsome and masculine, not like the current trend of effeminate young idols. He's the burly tough-guy type, and he graduated from Peking Opera just two years ago, classically trained.
But even so, he hasn't had many opportunities in acting. Previously, even with help from classmates and teachers, he could only get small supporting roles in some crews, counted lucky if he got a few lines and minutes on screen.
Some agencies were interested in signing him due to his looks, but being a Peking Opera graduate, he wasn't impressed by small companies, let alone those shell companies.
Therefore, when he came over to Fengmang Film and Television Company for an audition, he was still freelancing, without even an agent.
