Chapter 319 Do I Have a Problem?

Jiang Tiansheng looked at the resignation report brought in by his assistant and wanted to throw him out.

He rubbed his temples hard and asked,

"Am I really that uncharismatic?"

"I personally called this young girl, promised her terms, and she submitted her resignation without even batting an eye!"

The two assistants stood in the room, not daring to breathe.

Jiang Tiansheng felt a little tired and said,

"Alright, it's not really your fault. Immediately, get all the screenwriters and directors of our company together!"

"It's no good if I don't give them a lesson. If we let one promising talent slip away today, and another tomorrow, Shenghua Entertainment will rot sooner or later!"

When he said this, Jiang Tiansheng's tone didn't show any emotion, but both assistants knew that he was really angry!

His calmness now meant that he wasn't planning to leave any room for negotiation.

"You two, get me all the evidence of these directors and screenwriters violating laws and regulations. I want to know if they'll blush when they see these things."

…

Just as Jiang Tiansheng was planning to rectify the chaos in his company, Lu Xuan was selecting resumes at his own company.

There were just too many!

He couldn't possibly go through them all.

By the time he finished reading one resume, three or four more would have arrived in his inbox.

And this was after Liu Yi and the company's other agents had already screened them.

Xuan Yao Company simply couldn't accommodate so many people.

Helpless, Lu Xuan had to call Liu Yi.

"Aunt Liu, there are just too many. I'm already seeing stars. Is there any good way to handle this?"

Liu Yi shook her head.

"Your requirements are high. You need people who meet the criteria and have some acting ability, so there probably won't be many left after the auditions!"

Lu Xuan also felt a headache coming on, but he couldn't compromise on quality.

He was counting on this drama to recoup the cost of building the Chinese Paladin-themed film and television city!

So he had to create an absolute classic.

Every character had to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, so that people could watch the drama no matter when they started.

This goal was a bit difficult, but Lu Xuan felt that it should be achievable with some effort.

Now, the entire company was working towards this goal.

"Aunt Liu, then I'll have to trouble you to work harder. I'm going to start the auditions here, so that should speed things up a bit."

Although the workload increased, Liu Yi didn't feel tired. Instead, she instructed,

"Once you've confirmed a role, be sure to tell me immediately. That way, I'll have a direction when I'm screening resumes."

"And remember the girl I told you about, Liu Xiyan. I have high hopes for her. She definitely has a bright future, and she has a serious attitude. So if you can keep her, give her priority."

After understanding, Lu Xuan hung up the phone and then called his brother, Li Hao.

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm on my honeymoon. What, are you coming to find me too?"

Lu Xuan scolded with a laugh.

"You're really taking it easy. Stop resting for now and come here to help me with something. I need you to help me pick people."

"I'm filming *Chinese Paladin* here, and I'm too busy. Come lend me a hand!"

Li Hao said in surprise.

"Didn't you say you were going to rest for a while? How are you so busy again!"

"How many people are there that you can't handle it all?"

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly.

"I can't help it. The requirements for this filming are relatively high, and we don't have enough people at Xuan Yao Company, so we can only recruit from the public!"

"You also know that selecting the cast for a TV series is especially important. It's too difficult. If I were just grabbing a few roles, I'd be fine, but I want every character to have flesh and blood, which makes it difficult."

Listening to Lu Xuan's words, Li Hao nodded in agreement.

"Then you're undertaking a big project. If you want so many people, it'll probably take a while."

Lu Xuan said helplessly.

"So now I have to trouble you, right? Stop taking a vacation and come back to work first!"

"Alright, I'll go back right away!"

Lu Xuan called Li Hao back, and the work efficiency immediately increased a lot.

But the number of resumes in his hand was still increasing at a visible rate.

Lu Xuan had no choice but to patiently select them.

But when he encountered Liu Xiyan, whom Liu Yi had emphasized to him, Lu Xuan perked up a bit.

This girl really had a bit of spiritual energy, similar to the feeling of Anu in the book.

When Lu Xuan handed her the audition script, he could feel her restraint.

Because she was someone Liu Yi had her eye on, Lu Xuan chatted with her for a few words.

"After reading this novel, were there any characters that you felt particularly satisfied with?"

"Or any characters that you particularly wanted to play?"

Liu Xiyan was originally a little nervous because she knew that this was a test that would determine her fate.

But after talking to Lu Xuan, the previous nervousness disappeared without a trace and became calm.

"I just want to play Anu in the novel. I think she's more suitable for me, and I can bring out that feeling!"

Seeing that she knew her own mind, Lu Xuan nodded and said,

"Then you have to work hard. There are quite a few people who want to play this role. Three people auditioned for it today!"

Liu Xiyan was still quite confident in her acting. After reading the script for a while, she indicated to Lu Xuan that she was ready.

After watching her performance, Lu Xuan admired Liu Yi's vision. She really had a knack for choosing people!

"Alright, go back and wait for news. You can talk to Aunt Liu and discuss signing a contract with our company."

"Although I can't guarantee that this role is yours, your performance makes me very satisfied. Even if you can't play this role, your future achievements won't be bad. Keep it up!"

When Liu Xiyan walked out, she felt like she was walking on cotton, light and airy.

From Lu Xuan's words just now, she could tell that Lu Xuan was already very interested. Now it depended on whether there was anyone more suitable compared to her.

Right now, Lu Xuan was leaning towards her.

Having finalized another character in his mind, Lu Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

This kind of pressure in choosing people was still very high.

Because he needed to give every actor who auditioned an explanation for the rejection, looking at their expectant looks, sometimes he really couldn't bring himself to say those words!

Lu Xuan stretched, and at this moment, he suddenly received a call from Chen Daoming.

"Director Lu, I heard that you're planning to film *Chinese Paladin*?"

Lu Xuan replied,

"Yes, we're currently selecting the cast!"
