“But I’m still filming *Mr. Vampire*, so I might not be able to shuttle back and forth.”

This was Shang Lin’s biggest concern.

Although he wasn't an actor, he still needed to consider this issue, as these matters were very important.

He couldn't just abandon his current responsibilities to work on something else.

And then come back later.

“Shuttle back and forth? I don't need you to shuttle back and forth.”

Upon realizing that Shang Lin was worried about this, Lu Xuan finally understood the communication issue.

"*Brotherhood of Blades 3* will only begin preparations after you finish filming *Mr. Vampire*, so you can rest assured. Is that really what you were worried about all this time?"

"Or do you think I'm the kind of person who would make you run back and forth between two projects?"

Lu Xuan felt that it was crucial for Shang Lin to be fully committed to one task at a time.

"Okay, if I can start filming *Brotherhood of Blades 3* after finishing *Mr. Vampire*, then I'm more than willing."

Shang Lin loved this script; he was smitten the moment he laid eyes on it.

He couldn't wait to get started.

But he still had to finish his current job.

"If you have any questions about the movie, you can ask me directly."

"Really?"

Shang Lin figured there was a reason Lu Xuan said that.

Plus, they had been filming here for so long; it was impossible for them not to understand anything.

So, he said, "I can't think of anything right now, but I'll ask you if I encounter any problems."

Shang Lin really didn't think there would be any major issues.

After all, he had followed the filming of the first two *Brotherhood of Blades* movies from beginning to end. Even if he directed the third one himself, as long as he followed the script strictly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The only possible issue was that the audience might complain, questioning why Lu Xuan wasn't directing it this time.

Why was Lu Xuan not directing!

Some might even express dissatisfaction simply because Shang Lin was the director.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Shang Lin grew curious.

Since Lu Xuan had handed *Brotherhood of Blades 3* over to him, he couldn't possibly have nothing else up his sleeve.

Lu Xuan gave Shang Lin a mysterious smile.

"It's a secret for now. I'll announce it when the script is completely ready."

"You're keeping secrets from us? Don't you consider us brothers anymore!"

Shang Lin joked intentionally.

"Haha, the script isn't perfect yet. Once I've polished it, I might still invite you to do some martial arts direction."

"No way!"

Shang Lin looked at Lu Xuan warily.

This guy wasn't planning to keep exploiting him, was he?

"Can't you find a few more martial arts directors?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but there aren't many people like you who are competent, smart, and hardworking."

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly.

"Do you think people like you are easy to find?"

Hearing Lu Xuan praise him, Shang Lin nodded silently and said, "You're right, it's hard to find someone as amazing as me. But you can't always rely on me. Many young people these days have some experience, or you could try looking in the martial arts circles."

"I'd like to, but I'm still observing. There aren't many people I trust enough to let go completely."

Lu Xuan didn't forget to mention this point.

Shang Lin chuckled; Lu Xuan was right.

After their conversation, Shang Lin felt that he might still have some opportunities.

Lu Xuan had only mentioned the matter vaguely, not knowing how to arrange the details.

Shang Lin gave Lu Xuan a strange look; this guy was really good at creating work for himself.

But for the sake of *Brotherhood of Blades 3*, he could pretend that nothing else mattered.

Anyway, it couldn't be that important.

How amazing could it be?

He didn't know when filming for *Brotherhood of Blades 3* would start; he was already a little impatient and eager to begin.

It would be great if they could start soon.

After all, this matter was very important.

Lu Xuan successfully handed the *Brotherhood of Blades 3* script to Shang Lin, seeing how happy Shang Lin was.

Lu Xuan felt that at least this matter was a success.

Now he could start his own arrangements.

He felt a little happy for some reason.

Seeing Lu Xuan like this, Shang Lin wondered if he was planning something again.

But he seemed very calm.

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I need to get back to the set."

If he finished filming Lin Ying's movie soon, he could start filming *Brotherhood of Blades 3*.

He felt so strange; how did he end up pushing himself like this?

That wasn't how it was supposed to be.

Why was he creating work for himself? Wasn't he going to give himself a break?

Looking at Lu Xuan, that kid had even taken Su Yao on vacation.

He didn't even have the chance to go on vacation. How infuriating!

This couldn't continue!

He had to think of a solution.

Lin Ying, on the other hand, didn't know that Shang Lin had been called over by Lu Xuan and had been given another task.

If they knew, they would probably cry.

"I really don't have anything else to say on my end. If you do, then?"

"Never mind, I think I'll leave."

Shang Lin figured that if he stayed here any longer, he might be assigned another new job.

Although he enjoyed it, one thing at a time.

"Then, can I have a vacation after I finish filming *Brotherhood of Blades 3*?"

"Sure."

Lu Xuan chuckled. "You're worried about this?"

"Yes!"

Shang Lin said grumpily, "You took Su Yao out to play; did you forget that your brother has been running around between several sets?"

"I know."

Lu Xuan laughed even louder.

Actually, it wasn't impossible for Shang Lin to take a break.

It was just that he needed to think of a way to make it happen.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Shang Lin didn't forget to snag a few bags of snacks from Lu Xuan's house before leaving. Although he didn't particularly like them, they would be good to munch on during filming.

It would be somewhat interesting.

"I'm really leaving, goodbye."

Shang Lin, with a few bags of snacks in hand, left directly. As for the *Brotherhood of Blades 3* script, he thought he'd just wait until he finished *Mr. Vampire* before coming back to get it, since he was still filming.

He had pretty much memorized the plot anyway.
