461 We’re Really Too Weak

She didn’t expect that Haolun had the resources for a movie.

“We’re currently in the process of selecting candidates, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll definitely be selected,” Haolun said. “This is a tribute film. It mainly tells the story of the ancestors who gave their lives for the awakening and liberation of the people. The current movies and TV dramas focus on the history after the war. But there are very few movies and TV series for young people before the war who worked hard for the awakening of the people.”

“This movie tells the story of those scholars who sacrificed their lives during that period. They used books, pens, and words to inspire the oppressed at that time,” Haolun explained.

“Because it’s a tribute drama, there won’t be an absolute main lead. Everyone has a certain role, but it won’t take up too much, so there will be a lot of actors needed. Most of the actors have their own connections in the film.” Haolun was afraid that Jiang Xun didn’t understand, so he explained it to her very clearly. “The advantages of this kind of tribute drama are that the theme is good and it can improve the actors’ personal image. Also, there are many actors and directors, so it is a good opportunity to get to know people. Also, the box office sales can be guaranteed.”

“The middle-aged and older people who don’t usually go to the cinema are mostly willing to go. There are also the various organizations who will go. To put it bluntly, no matter how good the movie is, the box office will definitely not be low.”

Jiang Xun: “…”

Haolun had indeed explained it to her very clearly!

This kind of thing was usually not said so bluntly.

Although it was something one knew, it was not good to hear.

However, Haolun had said this to her. It could be said that he was completely confiding in her.

…

“I was afraid that you didn’t know about this movie, so I told you. If you’re interested in shooting, I can help you get in touch with some people and get the script first. Then, we’ll see what role you want to play and fight for it,” Haolun said. “There will definitely be an audition, but the actors who participate in the audition will have to use their connections.

“We haven’t told anyone about this movie yet. Those who have connections know about it in advance and have contacted the director.” Haolun said, “By the way, the director is Li Mingguan.”

“Of course I want to act,” Jiang Xun said. “It’s not because of anything else. I’ve never tried any of the roles in this movie. Every role is fresh to me and I want to try it.”

“I knew you’d be interested,” Haolun smiled and said. “I’ll talk to Li Mingguan and ask him to send a script to your manager.

“Alright, Director Guo, thank you.” Jiang Xun didn’t expect Haolun to think of her.

“Don’t be so polite.” Haolun said with a smile.

Jiang Xun immediately told Yicheng about it.

She also couldn’t push all the work to Haolun.

Haolun was also busy, and it was already very rare for him to take time out of his busy schedule to worry about her career.

It was best to solve her own problems.

Yicheng really didn’t know about this.

…

“We’re really too weak in the film industry.” Yicheng frowned and couldn’t help but reflect on himself.

Since Jiang Xun started acting, she had only acted in four dramas so far. Only her role in “Path of Life” could barely be considered a main lead.

The others were all supporting roles.

Therefore, Yicheng didn’t expect Jiang Xun to develop in the film industry so quickly.

He had originally wanted Jiang Xun to stabilize her position in the television industry and at least act in a few more female lead roles so that she could show her most representative works.

Therefore, he was only managing his network in the TV industry and had not had the time to develop into the film industry.

Moreover, Jiang Xun only played supporting roles in TV series. Even if Yicheng wanted to expand his network in the film industry, no one would care about him.

But now it seemed that he had to speed up.

Otherwise, he would be the one dragging Jiang Xun down.

He didn’t even know about the movie that Jiang Xun was talking about.

“Alright, leave this to me. I’ll contact Director Guo again,” Yicheng said. “I’ll definitely help you get the script and get you a chance to audition.

…

In the beginning, Haolun’s “Path of Life” had relied on Chen Zilong’s help to pull strings. She had only gotten the opportunity to audition after Haolun agreed to it.

Then this movie would definitely prove to be even more difficult to audition for.

Yicheng hung up the phone and immediately reported the matter to Mufeng.

There were many speculations from the outside, but he knew that Mufeng had established Qin Yang Film and Television for Jiang Xun, in order to support her.

If some people still didn’t believe that he was Jiang Xun’s backer, he would just throw in money and invest in Jiang Xun’s drama. He would see who would dare to mess with Jiang Xun again.

“Got it.”

Mufeng hung up the phone and called Chengnan into his office. “Go and check on the investors of ‘Under The Starry Sky’ and see if we can add Qin Yang Film and Television in. If we can’t, then kick one of the investors out and let Qin Yang Film and Television in.”

“Under The Starry Sky” was the movie that Haolun had mentioned.

According to Yicheng, the movie’s background had a lot of war and explosion scenes. If they wanted to better recreate the environment, the best way was to build a city just for the movie.

All of these would cost money.

This kind of tribute film had an official endorsement, so there would be no lack of investors. There might even be competition.

…

In this case, it all depended on who had the bigger fist.

Qin Yang’s fists had always been big.

“Yes.” Chengnan responded and immediately went to work on it.

Although Haolun was a TV drama director, he also had his own network.

He only wanted the script, so Mingguan would give him face.

Besides, it was only an invitation for an audition. Whether or not Jiang Xun would be chosen was up to Mingguan.

If he didn’t want to use Jiang Xun, he could just say that Jiang Xun was not suitable for the audition and not offend Haolun.

Yicheng successfully got the script.

After Jiang Xun read the script, she immediately took a fancy to one of the roles as a female reporter.

At that time, there was only one girls’ school in Shanghai, and the students who could study there were all people with decent family conditions and advanced thinking.

The female reporter was a student of that girls’ school. She secretly participated in the establishment of the newspaper to resist the invasion and expose the truth. She also hid a password in her own article to send information.

…

In the end, what she had done was discovered. She would rather die than submit and was sent to the guillotine.

“Alright, I’ll go talk to them,” Yicheng said after receiving Jiang Xun’s reply.

However, Yicheng’s negotiation did not go smoothly.

Before he could contact Mingguan, the assistant director of “Under The Starry Sky” who was in charge of the casting replied that the female reporter’s role had been chosen.

“I’ve asked. Although the contract hasn’t been signed yet, both parties have basically confirmed their intentions. The only thing left is the final audition. Yicheng said, “I’ve asked. That person is Su Youlan.”
