"Fu Shan, this Lin Fan's acting is pretty good. I think he's really talented," Xu Yifei said, unable to hide her delight.
Jiang Jinsong was overjoyed.
"Fu Shan, you have a good eye! This little security guard, Lin Fan, has a lot of potential! He's a rare gem. Excellent! Truly excellent!"
Hearing this, Fu Shan was also pleased.
"Oh? In that case, let's cast him in the role of Li Yuanfeng. What do you think of Lin Fan playing the part?"
This time, Xu Yifei and Jiang Jinsong were completely in agreement. They immediately raised their hands in support.
"Yes, Fu Shan, I agree!"
Xu Yifei nodded, giving Fu Shan a sweet smile.
Jiang Jinsong then laughed heartily: "Haha, I agree too. No objections here!"
And so, the role of Li Yuanfeng was decided, falling into the hands of the little security guard, Lin Fan.
Jiang Jinsong quickly sorted out the follow-up matters with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was still a bit dazed even after officially signing the contract.
After all, who would have thought that he, who had originally just wanted to help disperse the crowd, would actually be selected for a role and officially sign up as an actor?
Witnessing all this, the onlookers and students also erupted in excitement.
They all began to sign up for the audition even more enthusiastically.
This little security guard could get picked by the crew; that was lucky.
Maybe, the next lucky one would be them.
Heh heh.
Just like that, the crew's casting was in full swing.
After a whole day of auditions, Fu Shan and the others finally settled on a group of actors, including the male lead, to play the main roles in the drama.
However, these actors who were chosen were basically all students currently attending the Modu Film and Television Academy.
Some of them weren't even students of the performance major; they had never come into contact with acting, nor did they have any acting experience.
However, they were well-matched in terms of temperament, age, and appearance with the characters in the script.
Fu Shan said this was already enough.
"No fame, no acting experience, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to fit the characters in the play. Choose the right people to play the right roles. After all, it's the drama that makes the person, not the person that makes the drama."
After finishing the signing of all the actors, Fu Shan smiled faintly and waved his hand confidently.
Jiang Jinsong and Xu Yifei also agreed with this.
A good film and television drama, the script is the most important and core thing.
They were very confident in Fu Shan's script.
They were also very satisfied with the actors chosen in this audition.
No problem!
Everything was ready, and the crew of Legend of the Sword and the Hero officially began filming.
Due to the sufficient funds, the actors, including Xu Yifei, were all dedicated and serious. The entire crew was also very professional and efficient, and the filming progress was extremely fast.
In just over a month, the filming of Legend of the Sword and the Hero was completely finished.
Now, the director and the crew were working hard on post-production editing, and Jiang Jinsong came to visit again.
However, Jiang Jinsong's expression was not very good this time.
It could be described as completely grim.
Seeing his appearance, Fu Shan couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Uncle Jiang, what happened to you? Did something happen?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Jiang Jinsong's expression became even more unpleasant:
"Director Fu, I just contacted Li Deming from Hunan Satellite TV, and the situation is not good!"
To facilitate investment and operation of the drama Legend of the Sword and the Hero, Fu Shan had established a film and television production company at the same time the crew started filming, and named it Aifei Film and Television Production Company.
Fu Shan served as the general manager of the company.
Therefore, at this moment, he was indeed Director Fu.
From then on, Jiang Jinsong changed his address, no longer directly calling Fu Shan's name, but instead addressing him as Director Fu.
This was to show respect for the investor.
After all, disregarding the relationship between Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, Fu Shan was now clearly capital.
And Jiang Jinsong's attitude was also very correct: The one who spends the money is the boss.
He was just working for Fu Shan.
He had to give his boss the necessary respect!
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Jinsong's words, Fu Shan raised an eyebrow, signaling Jiang Jinsong to continue.
"Don't even mention it!"
Jiang Jinsong snorted in response, speaking with great displeasure.
Bringing up this matter made him angry.
As someone who always planned everything, at the very beginning of the filming of "Legend of the Sword and the Hero," Jiang Jinsong had already started arranging the premiere platform for their show.
The first thing Jiang Jinsong thought of was Hunan Satellite TV's prime-time broadcast platform.
After all, as a well-known satellite TV station in the country, and one that consistently leads the ratings among all major satellite TV stations, Hunan Satellite TV has a significant influence.
In recent years, there's been an unspoken consensus in the industry: any TV drama that premieres during Hunan Satellite TV's prime time slot will become a massive hit, a blockbuster of the year.
This has led many production teams to flock to Hunan Satellite TV.
They all hope to premiere their new dramas during Hunan Satellite TV's prime time.
After all, this guarantees high viewership.
It's a case of getting twice the result with half the effort.
To secure such a great broadcasting platform means their drama is one step closer to achieving great ratings.
Jiang Jinsong thought the same, so he had already spoken with the relevant person in charge at Hunan Satellite TV — Li Deming.
The result...
"That Li Deming is a real piece of work! Before, when I was talking to him, he clearly agreed to give us the prime time slot on Hunan Satellite TV this month for the broadcast of Legend of the Sword and the Hero, but when it came down to it, the guy went back on his word!"
Jiang Jinsong still sounded angry.
Fu Shan raised an eyebrow again upon hearing this, but didn't show any emotion. "Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jinsong couldn't help but let out a heavy snort. "Isn't it? I thought we were good friends. Before, when Yifei was popular, he and Hunan Satellite TV were all over her, begging her to go on their shows to boost the ratings of their self-produced programs. But now... Hmph! It really pisses me off."
"It was all agreed upon before. But when I went there this time, he just denied everything. He told me directly that they'd given the prime time slots for the next few months to Romantic Love, starring Lu Zilin and Yang Lili. Our Legend of the Sword and the Hero was scheduled to premiere during the five or six o'clock afternoon slot."
"And... this guy still acted like he was giving me a huge favor and a great gift. Pfft!"
Jiang Jinsong got angrier as he spoke, and at the end, he was furious, and couldn't help but spit out in hatred.
