Lu Xuan felt it was important to lay out the ugly truth beforehand.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make things even more difficult for him?

Besides, they weren't discussing this for the first time.

Lu Xuan knew they still needed to struggle with the decision.

He just didn't expect them to agree after only a little deliberation.

"Of course, we know your requirements are very strict. In fact, these young people should know what a real actor is. You have so many veteran actors here; being able to give them a small role to learn from the masters is an opportunity others can only dream of."

"As long as they can come in and learn properly, that's all that matters."

"This money is for them to pay their tuition."

Lu Xuan had recorded everything, so whatever they said here counted.

"Since you all said so, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse."

Lu Xuan chuckled and readily agreed to their request, then instructed the finance department to prepare to receive the money.

Su Yao found Lu Xuan in disbelief after hearing about this.

"Why are you suddenly charging money?"

The news was spreading like wildfire.

Lu Xuan said matter-of-factly, "Their company said they wanted to pay for their young artists to have the chance to learn from senior actors, even if it's just a small role. As long as they get a chance to learn."

"They've already put it so humbly; it wouldn't be good for me to refuse."

Lu Xuan chuckled and said softly, "Moreover, I've reminded them that if they come to me, I can only arrange for them to be extras or something, and their company agreed to that."

"You're really amazing; you're actually arranging for them to be extras?"

Su Yao herself felt that Lu Xuan was truly incredible.

If the fans of those young idols found out, they might rush over and beat Lu Xuan into next week.

"You're really daring; those young idols' fans dare to compete with any senior actor for status. Giving them this extra role, they really might scold you to death."

"Then let them scold. In the future, it'll be impossible for their 'oppa' to participate in my movies or any of my works."

"Whoever scolds me, I'll put them on my blacklist."

Lu Xuan was completely unharmed by this.

Because he was handling things entirely according to their agency's requirements.

There were no other demands at all.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. I also think you're quite amazing to have thought of this method."

Su Yao was initially puzzled as to how Lu Xuan could agree to this.

Now she understood.

He had thought it through long ago.

Once the *Hero* crew was officially ready, all the actors had to report to the set.

Those young idols were very happy at first, feeling that their company was truly impressive.

They actually made someone as arrogant as Lu Xuan willing to compromise.

They felt that their company must be very powerful.

Therefore, when they arrived at the set, they all looked at everyone with their noses in the air.

Their professional skills weren't as good as the veteran actors, but their entourages were bigger than anyone else's.

Their nanny vans were lined up in a long row.

Just the assistants, bodyguards, and other people who followed them were a mighty throng.

People who didn't know better would think they weren't here to film a movie but to attend some event.

Lu Xuan was speechless.

The other veteran actors couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene.

Chen Daoming walked up to Lu Xuan and asked, "Aren't you unwilling to compromise? Why did you suddenly let these people join your crew?"

"Their company is willing to pay for them to get an extra role, just to give them a glimpse of the senior actors. It's just an extra role, and they're willing to pay for it and be free publicity for us. Why refuse?"

Lu Xuan found it very amusing as he said this.

Because of this matter, they felt things definitely couldn't be left at that.

After hearing this, Chen Daoming smiled and glanced at Lu Xuan.

No wonder this kid was so generous.

He actually allowed the young idols to come.

"But I see their attitude; it seems like they have no idea about this."

"I don't know about that. I made it very clear to them from the beginning that they were just coming to show their faces and get a few shots. They themselves were willing to spend money to buy it. Teacher Chen, if you have time, why not join me in meeting these few young idols?"

"You kid, you're putting your idea on me again!"

Chen Daoming knew what Lu Xuan was planning as soon as he heard it.

The young idols were brought over by their agents to greet Lu Xuan.

"Director, Teacher Chen!"

"Hurry up and greet the director and senior teacher!"

The agents smiled at Chen Daoming and Lu Xuan. The company had told them before they came today that they must not offend Lu Xuan.

They had finally used money to pry open the door to Lu Xuan's crew.

If they missed this opportunity, then these few artists could be replaced and new ones cultivated.

Anyway, they were just idols; if this batch didn't work, they'd replace them with a new one.

Fans change their loyalties very quickly.

As long as they found a way to suppress the previous idols and keep them from being seen by everyone, after a few months, apart from the truly die-hard fans, the other fans would naturally be attracted to other idols.

This time, it depended on whether they could really accomplish this.

"Hello, teachers."

The young idols were a little excited when they saw Lu Xuan.

This Lu Xuan looked pretty handsome; he was not only an actor but also a director, creator, and screenwriter.

They wondered how one person could manage to wear so many hats.

And do each thing so well.

"Director, our artist is...?"

"Your company said they just wanted to let them come to the crew and see up close how the senior teachers act and what their attitude is like. I'm not such an unreasonable person either. I can provide a role with more lines, to be chosen by the other veteran actors."

"Whoever can satisfy everyone, then that role with more lines will be theirs."

"Such a good learning opportunity, I believe everyone will be unwilling to miss it. After all, only my film can simultaneously have so many truly talented and experienced seniors directing the acting."

As Lu Xuan said this, he glanced at Chen Daoming again.

The two cooperated very well.

Each secretly said "old fox" in their hearts and began a new plan.

The agents, however, were confused and didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
