There's a role we haven't been able to cast, and we need to film action scenes...

Xiao He quickly went through the plot in his mind, then said with a strange expression, "We've really already decided on this role."

This character is the third male lead, one of the protagonist's teammates. He fights alongside the protagonist against the time-traveling cyborg assassin. Because he often acts alongside the protagonist throughout the movie, he has a very high screen time, even more than the villain. He also has many action scenes and his own highlight moments.

However... Xiao He recommended Pu Rong to audition for this role, and unsurprisingly, he passed immediately.

Pu Rong's action scenes are undoubtedly impressive; they are the result of years of training since childhood, not just empty boasts. Xiao He learned many of his action techniques from him. Furthermore, the two have known each other since "The Thief Catcher" and have been friends in the industry for many years. How could Xiao He possibly let Zhao Qinyuan take over such a role, even though Zhao Qinyuan's popularity and influence are indeed higher than Pu Rong's at the moment?

Moreover, Zhao Qinyuan boasted about his action scenes...

Xiao He's assessment of Zhao Qinyuan remained the same: if this person continued to spend his energy on these "crooked ways," he would eventually wear down all his spirituality and talent.

"I'm sorry, this role was already decided some time ago."

Xiao He explained earnestly, "Although I don't know where you got this information, the actors have been training with us for a month now, so it's really not convenient to change them."

This news is way too late.

Zhao Qinyuan confirmed that Xiao He was telling the truth and immediately looked regretful: "That's a pity, I'm a little late."

Xiao He was also a little puzzled: "Hasn't Taidong Entertainment arranged any new gigs for you?"

If I remember correctly, Zhao Qinyuan is an artist under Taidong Entertainment.

Their artists usually don't have autonomy in choosing roles, unless they are like Liu Zehang, who has already achieved success, established a studio affiliation with the company, and gained a certain status, in which case they can renegotiate with the company and regain the autonomy to choose scripts. Otherwise, artists like Zhao Qinyuan still have to rely on the company to arrange roles for them.

So to put it bluntly, Zhao Qinyuan had no way of making decisions for himself.

Even if Xiao He really had a role for Zhao Qinyuan, he couldn't give it to Zhao Qinyuan directly. Instead, he would have to talk to Taidong Entertainment, the company behind Zhao Qinyuan, first.

To put it even more dramatically, if Xiao He's side had bypassed Tai Dong Entertainment and given Zhao Qinyuan the script directly, Tai Dong Entertainment could have sued Ling Hui later on.

This is not something you can get involved in casually.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao He's words, Zhao Qinyuan looked somewhat embarrassed, but he said, "As artists, we can still try to fight for ourselves."

Although he didn't know what trouble Zhao Qinyuan had encountered, Xiao He had no interest in caring, so he just gave a dry "oh".

The longer he worked here, the more likely he was to encounter all sorts of things. All Xiao He could guarantee was to be cautious in his words and actions.

Zhao Qinyuan didn't get any benefit from Xiao He, so he chatted casually for a while and then left. Yuan Sitong, who had been keeping an eye on things, slipped in again.

"That's really strange, this guy has actually changed his personality."

As Yuan Sitong spoke, she turned back to confirm, "He didn't even wink at me when he left."

Xiao He sighed, "It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

It's just creating a romantic pairing, not blatant seduction, so why are you throwing in flirtatious glances?

"What does he want from you?"

"He asked me if there were any roles for him in the projects I had on hand."

Xiao He replied.

Yuan Sitong understood: "Oh~ I actually know about this."

Xiao He looked at the gossip king: "You know that too?"

This woman is thriving in the industry!
