Some directors were willing to acknowledge their goddaughters, but Zilong didnât do that. His private life was very clean, and he had a good relationship with his wife for many years.
What was the situation with Zilong and Jiang Xun?
Could it be that Zilong had been clean for most of his life, and now he suddenly lost his integrity?
Faced with Yixinâs suggestion, Haolun smiled and said, âPresident Yang, you donât have to invest. If Teacher Lu wants to participate in my drama, she can just come and audition.â
Xiuse was delighted. Could it be that it was going to work?
She was so happy that she was about to stand up and toast to Haolun. However, she heard Haolun continue, âEveryone has equal opportunities. If you want to fight for a role, you can go and audition. If youâre suitable, you will be selected. Donât worry. There will never be a situation where the person who has the most investment and the strongest background will be selected. It all depends on your acting skills. As long as your acting skills are good and you can fully interpret the role, no one will be able to snatch your role away.â
âHahaha, I was waiting for you to say that,â Zilong said to Haolun with a smile. âI really approve of Jiang Xunâs acting. When the time comes, let Jiang Xun go for an audition. Take a look. Letâs make it clear first that you are not allowed to have any prejudice against Jiang Xun.â
They were all old friends. Zilong knew Haolun too well.
Haolun was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head helplessly. âAm I that unprofessional?â
âItâs because youâre too professional that you only believe in the acting skills of the actors that you often use,â Zilong said bluntly. âIndeed, there are all kinds of new actors nowadays with good or bad acting skills. It would really take too much effort to select them one by one. And they all have their own backers. Itâs indeed difficult. But we canât overturn a whole boat of people just because of this, can we?â
âIt seems that you are very confident in Jiang Xunâs acting skills,â Haolun said with a smile.
âYou donât say. At the beginning, I had a similar attitude to you,â Zilong said. âYou know me. How many people did I interview for the role of Cheng Yao in this drama? If I can let Jiang Xun play the role of Cheng Yao, doesnât that prove her acting skills?â
âOld Guo, your results are good and your requirements are high. But my results arenât worse than yours, and my requirements for the actors arenât low either.â Zilong turned to face Haolun, and he put his arm on the back of his chair. âYou donât trust my judgment? Let me tell you, Jiang Xun brought Cheng Yaoâs role to life!â
âYou know how difficult Cheng Yaoâs role is to play. Jiang Xun can play it to my satisfaction. What more do you want?â Zilong rolled his eyes at Haolun rudely. âLet me tell you, you just havenât seen the finished show. If you saw my finished drama, you wouldnât even need to audition for Jiang Xun. You would have to beg her to act.â
Haolun was not angry at Zilongâs nagging. He just shook his head with a helpless and bitter smile. âOkay, okay, okay. I know that you have good results and high standards. Your pursuit of art has never stopped. Didnât I ask Jiang Xun to audition? You have to give me a chance to see Jiang Xunâs performance with my own eyes, right? Didnât you also ask Jiang Xun to audition before I choose her?â
âOh, only you are allowed to let Jiang Xun audition, but Iâm not allowed to let Jiang Xun audition?â Now Haolun could be sure that Zilong had really brought Jiang Xun along because he cherished her. There was absolutely no impure relationship between him and Jiang Xun.
Zilong, his old friend, was still that good man who kept himself clean.
âNo, no, no, no, of course not!â Zilong nodded with a smile, âYou just need to let her audition without prejudice. I didnât ask you to decide on her directly. Later, her manager will send you information. Remember to organize it well and donât reject it.â
The director would not just let you audition as long as you sent your resume.
After rounds of screening, a small group of people went to the director to audition.
He was originally worried that Haolunâs studio would see Jiang Xunâs profile and immediately dismiss her just because of the word âinfluencer.â
âAlright.â Haolun took out his phone and called his assistant in front of Zilong. He told his assistant about this matter. âYou can directly pass Jiang Xunâs profile and let her participate in the final audition.â
After hanging up the phone, Haolun said to Zilong, âHow is it? Are you satisfied now?â
âJust you wait. I definitely wonât let you down. You still have to call me to thank me for recommending Jiang Xun,â Zilong said. âTo be honest, I was the same as you. Jiang Xun even acted in Deng Xuâs Storm in The Heavenly Capital. You know that, right?â
âI know. I watched a part of it.â He didnât finish watching it.
Haolun was so busy with work that he couldnât have too much time to watch the show.
He just randomly picked up some clips to watch, and coincidentally, he didnât see Jiang Xun.
âIt was Deng Xu who strongly recommended Jiang Xun to me back then. I didnât believe it at that time either. I thought that since Jiang Xun didnât have much acting experience, could she have been as good as Deng Xu said? It was too exaggerated. In the end, when I saw Jiang Xunâs audition performance, my face hurt!â Zilong didnât care that this matter was found out by Xiuse.
Only then did Xiuse realize that Jiang Xun was able to play the role of Cheng Yao because of Deng Xuâs recommendation.
Yixinâs attempt to get Xiuse into the group with money failed, so he didnât mention this matter anymore.
As a businessman, he was tactful. He knew when to give up, when to persist, and when to say something.
Yixin had a good talk with Zilong and Haolun.
Jiang Xun went to the bathroom on the way.
When she went out, Jiang Xun complained about Qin Guan restaurant in her mind. Since it was in a high-class hotel like Qin Yang hotel, why couldnât there be a bathroom in the private lounge?
It was really inconvenient to ask the guests where the washroom was.
This kind of design was not friendly to her!
Jiang Xun drew a detailed map on her phone and went to the washroom.
When Jiang Xun was washing her hands, Xiuse pushed the door open and walked in slowly.
She stood next to Jiang Xun and looked at her in the mirror. She sneered at her. âArenât you with Qin Mufeng? Why? Qin Mufeng didnât help you and invest some resources for you? Do you need Director Chen to come to the dinner party and make fun of others?â
Jiang Xun turned off the tap and shook her hands twice. She took out a tissue to wipe her hands.
She didnât understand why there was never a shortage of people who came to find trouble with her.
Couldnât it be more peaceful, not interfering with each other and going their own way?
Everyone should mind their own business. How much less angry could they be.
Why did they have to look for trouble and add some color to their lives?
Jiang Xun crumpled the wet paper into a ball and easily threw it into the trash can at the door.
The paper ball accurately fell into the trash can.
