However, after reading Xiao He's "masterpiece," Dong Zeng merely sneered, casually put down his phone, and said nothing more.

Feng Zhengyang then asked, "I see you used a recommendation letter from Haohan Entertainment. Are you an artist under Haohan Entertainment?"

Xiao He denied it: "I am not. I am an artist from Ling Hui Studio."

"Ling Hui?"

Feng Zhengyang frowned slightly, seemingly trying to recall which capital backed the studio. Tong Junhui, who was standing next to him, reminded him at the right moment: "It's a studio opened by my former manager, Sister Liu. Currently, he is the only artist in the studio."

Xiao He raised an eyebrow and looked at Tong Junhui.

This guy... actually seems to know quite a bit about their situation.

"Oh, I see—"

Feng Zhengyang nodded, his expression growing even colder.

He turned his head and whispered something to Dong Zeng.

Xiao He no longer cared much.

Based on the series of bizarre actions that Director Feng has recently taken, Xiao He can easily guess that his biggest purpose in returning is actually to make money.

Forget about ideals, forget about hobbies, and forget about fans waiting for me. The Chinese entertainment industry needs me to save it.

To put it bluntly, it's all about money.

Everyone understands each other's little schemes.

Moreover, since the goal is to select suitable roles, and acting skills have already been demonstrated, the natural approach is to ask the actors about their understanding of the roles and their comprehension and analysis of the plot, rather than worrying about whether the actors have enough work or are not qualified, or focusing on the companies and capital behind the actors.

Haha, I used to think that the male lead was decided in advance and that the whole thing was just a stepping stone for Tong Junhui. Now Xiao He realizes that they were planning to use all the actors in the Chinese entertainment industry as stepping stones.

Then he will have to decline.

With the director, lead actor, and screenwriter all carrying huge scandals, it's uncertain whether this movie can be made or even released.

If anyone causes a problem, the entire production crew will be in an uproar.

To be honest, Xiao He felt that he was a bit wicked now, and even looked forward to the start of filming and release of this drama.

If it's a flop when it's released, all the competitors in the same period will be laughing all the way to the bank.

...

"Alright, Xiao He, you can go now."

After discussing it with those around him, Feng Zhengyang said, "Let's go back and wait for news."

"Thank you, Director Feng, and thank you to all the teachers."

Xiao He suppressed his disgust, bowed politely to the group, and then turned and left without hesitation.

Good heavens, is Feng Zhengyang eating shit every day? How can it smell so bad? The rotten smell is about to blow his skull off.

I can't take it anymore, I have to run away! When you encounter a film crew like this, you have to escape on a rocket!

Dead legs, get moving!

Xiao He strode forward with lightning speed, even forgetting his dinner appointment with Liu Zehang. He rushed out of the theater's back door, got into the nanny van that Liu Rulan was waiting for, and urged her to leave quickly.

Liu Rulan looked bewildered, glanced uncertainly behind Xiao He, and then asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Is someone chasing you?"

Xiao He almost choked on his breath: "Pretty much, scarier than a ghost."

Liu Rulan asked in confusion, "What happened? Did you mess up the audition?"

Xiao He didn't want to reveal his discovery, so he gave a vague reply: "I guess so."

Liu Rulan shrugged: "Then let's not think about it anymore."

“I have received the latest news that another big director is also interested in a new film, but for some reason, we have been unable to contact him recently. His assistant also said that he leaves early and returns late every day and we don’t know where he is. While you rest for the next two days, I will personally go to his residence to wait for him and try to negotiate the script.”

Xiao He nodded: "Okay, Sister Liu."
