"Thwack—"

Li Hao closed the script and calmed himself down.

"Finished reading it?"

"Finished."

Lu Xuan looked expectant. "What do you think? Isn't it interesting!"

Li Hao glanced at him. "It's got something, but not much."

"So you agree?!"

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly.

As long as he didn't directly refuse, it meant there was a chance.

"..."

Li Hao hesitated.

If *Goodbye Mr. Loser* was on the same level as Lu Xuan's previous scripts, he would have rejected it outright.

But after reading it, he found it was several levels stronger than before!

If it were filmed, the effect might be beyond expectations.

But...

"With your budget, there's no way you can film this!"

Li Hao glared at Lu Xuan.

Such a good script, but with such a low budget, wasn't that giving him hope only to crush it?

Lu Xuan brazenly said, "That's why I came to you, Gun'er Bro!"

"With you around, the budget will definitely be enough."

"Even if the whole world doesn't believe in you, I, Lu Xuan, believe in you!"

"Hiss—"

Li Hao gasped. "Damn you, you almost made me emotional."

After carefully considering the possibilities, he slammed the table.

Bang—

"Let's do it!"

The script was too good, Li Hao felt that opportunity knocks but once, and decisively agreed to come out of retirement.

"As for the budget, we'll talk about it later. As long as the mind doesn't slip, there will always be more solutions than problems!"

"Gun'er Bro!"

Seeing Li Hao agree, Lu Xuan was excited and shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice.

"Then it's settled!"

"Yeah."

The two clasped hands tightly, just like their graduation agreement.

And in the distant, dim sky, a bright Sirius was quietly rising.

......

After finishing the egg-fried rice and helping to clear the stall, the two found a barbecue stall to sit down.

"The budget is still not enough, we can't find any actors."

"And in this society, without traffic, there's no appeal at all. No one will watch it."

Li Hao analyzed rationally.

He had already started to take on the role of associate director, worrying about finding actors.

Lu Xuan said his idea: "Do you think there's a possibility of getting actors for free?"

"Like, from Huazhong Academy of Drama!"

Huazhong Academy of Drama was their alma mater.

One of the best film and television academies in the country, it has cultivated countless excellent directors and actors.

Back then, it was because of Huazhong that Lu Xuan and Li Hao were able to have many resources and film *Diors Man* and become an instant hit.

"That... wouldn't that be bad? Squeezing our Huazhong again?"

Li Hao instantly understood what Lu Xuan meant.

They filmed *Diors Man* at Huazhong back then.

The school would provide students with some subsidies and great convenience in this regard, encouraging students to create independently.

Although the two were already graduates, they could completely solve the actors' problem at Huazhong.

"How can you say squeezing!"

"This is called giving the younger students an opportunity to practice! Helping the school improve student graduation rates and professional skills!"

Lu Xuan said without blushing or skipping a beat.

Before receiving the script, he had thought about where the actors would come from.

There was no place more suitable to con... recruit actors than Huazhong.

Li Hao said it wasn't good, but he actually nodded in agreement with Lu Xuan's idea.

"The actor problem is solved, but what about the traffic?"

"We don't have any extra budget for publicity."

"This problem is not a problem."

Lu Xuan patted his chest: "I am the traffic!"

Li Hao then remembered that the person in front of him was one of the protagonists of the hottest topic right now.

"Damn! I almost forgot, how did you manage to hook up with the goddess of Su University!"

"Tell me!"

"And you even got the marriage certificate? We agreed to be single until the end, but you secretly settled down for life!"

Li Hao held a barbecue skewer, looking like he was about to draw his sword.

"This... that's a long story!"

Lu Xuan looked up at the sky at a 45° angle, revealing a profound look.

As a result, Li Hao waited for a long time, but Lu Xuan didn't continue.

"And then?"

"It's all in the eyes, didn't you see it?"

"..."

The barbecue skewer was immediately placed on Lu Xuan's neck.

"I'll give you another chance to organize your words, tell me quickly!"

Lu Xuan spread his hands helplessly: "There's really nothing to say, just the usual things of a man pursuing a woman."

It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding it from his good brother, but the hundredfold penalty for breach of contract in the confidentiality agreement was constantly reminding him.

"Really can't say?"

"Can't."

"Understood."

Li Hao put down the barbecue skewer, already having a rough guess in his mind.

As the person who knew Lu Xuan best, the other party's attitude explained everything. Considering Su Yao's recent termination of her contract, Li Hao understood most of it.

"Then let's not talk about this, let's continue talking about the script."

"Alright."

Both of them knew what was going on.

After pouring a cup for Li Hao, Lu Xuan talked about the crew's problems again.

"For the crew, should we still work with Old Liu?"

"Yeah, we're old acquaintances, he should be able to give us a discount."

After chatting about everything, and deciding to go to Huazhong to find actors tomorrow, Lu Xuan went home in a great mood.

The lights were on in the house.

As soon as Lu Xuan came in, he saw Su Yao bending over to pack things.

The graceful figure set off her perfect curves, and her figure could be said to be extremely good.

"Ahem..."

Out of politeness, Lu Xuan took the initiative to say hello: "Did you get a role?"

Su Yao got up, and the moment she looked back, she became radiant.

Seeing that it was Lu Xuan, she nodded lightly and said, "Yeah, *Immortal Demon Romance*."

"Oh..." Lu Xuan nodded knowingly.

He had heard of this *Immortal Demon Romance*, it was a Xianxia drama that had been heating up recently.

It was full of big names, basically all of them were popular young idols, and the traffic lineup could be said to be extremely luxurious.

If Su Yao participated, she would definitely be the female lead or female second.

With her strength, it seemed that the probability of her making a comeback was indeed very high this time.

After Su Yao finished packing, she looked at Lu Xuan: "What about you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Xuan smiled: "No, everything is going smoothly."

"That's good."

Su Yao didn't think much: "I'll be staying in the crew for the next period of time, so I basically won't be coming back."

"Okay, I will take good care of our 'home'."

Our... home?

Su Yao shook her head, driving away the strange feeling in her heart.

Then, with a firm look in her eyes, she stepped out, Aunt Liu was already waiting in the car outside.

"Alright, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Lu Xuan waved to Su Yao's back.

After she left, he stood by the window, watching the departing vehicle with amazement.

"She's staying in the crew on the first day of signing the contract, that's too hard-working, no wonder she was so popular before!"

"Looks like I have to work harder too!"

Lu Xuan strolled towards the bathroom.
