Chapter 279: Why? Qin Mufeng Didn’t Help You?

Some directors were willing to acknowledge their goddaughters, but Zilong didn’t do that. His private life was very clean, and he had a good relationship with his wife for many years.
What was the situation with Zilong and Jiang Xun?
Could it be that Zilong had been clean for most of his life, and now he suddenly lost his integrity?
Faced with Yixin’s suggestion, Haolun smiled and said, “President Yang, you don’t have to invest. If Teacher Lu wants to participate in my drama, she can just come and audition.”
Xiuse was delighted. Could it be that it was going to work?
She was so happy that she was about to stand up and toast to Haolun. However, she heard Haolun continue, “Everyone has equal opportunities. If you want to fight for a role, you can go and audition. If you’re suitable, you will be selected. Don’t worry. There will never be a situation where the person who has the most investment and the strongest background will be selected. It all depends on your acting skills. As long as your acting skills are good and you can fully interpret the role, no one will be able to snatch your role away.”
“Hahaha, I was waiting for you to say that,” Zilong said to Haolun with a smile. “I really approve of Jiang Xun’s acting. When the time comes, let Jiang Xun go for an audition. Take a look. Let’s make it clear first that you are not allowed to have any prejudice against Jiang Xun.”
They were all old friends. Zilong knew Haolun too well.
Haolun was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head helplessly. “Am I that unprofessional?”
“It’s because you’re too professional that you only believe in the acting skills of the actors that you often use,” Zilong said bluntly. “Indeed, there are all kinds of new actors nowadays with good or bad acting skills. It would really take too much effort to select them one by one. And they all have their own backers. It’s indeed difficult. But we can’t overturn a whole boat of people just because of this, can we?”
“It seems that you are very confident in Jiang Xun’s acting skills,” Haolun said with a smile.
“You don’t say. At the beginning, I had a similar attitude to you,” Zilong said. “You know me. How many people did I interview for the role of Cheng Yao in this drama? If I can let Jiang Xun play the role of Cheng Yao, doesn’t that prove her acting skills?”
“Old Guo, your results are good and your requirements are high. But my results aren’t worse than yours, and my requirements for the actors aren’t low either.” Zilong turned to face Haolun, and he put his arm on the back of his chair. “You don’t trust my judgment? Let me tell you, Jiang Xun brought Cheng Yao’s role to life!”
“You know how difficult Cheng Yao’s role is to play. Jiang Xun can play it to my satisfaction. What more do you want?” Zilong rolled his eyes at Haolun rudely. “Let me tell you, you just haven’t seen the finished show. If you saw my finished drama, you wouldn’t even need to audition for Jiang Xun. You would have to beg her to act.”
Haolun was not angry at Zilong’s nagging. He just shook his head with a helpless and bitter smile. “Okay, okay, okay. I know that you have good results and high standards. Your pursuit of art has never stopped. Didn’t I ask Jiang Xun to audition? You have to give me a chance to see Jiang Xun’s performance with my own eyes, right? Didn’t you also ask Jiang Xun to audition before I choose her?”
“Oh, only you are allowed to let Jiang Xun audition, but I’m not allowed to let Jiang Xun audition?” Now Haolun could be sure that Zilong had really brought Jiang Xun along because he cherished her. There was absolutely no impure relationship between him and Jiang Xun.
Zilong, his old friend, was still that good man who kept himself clean.
“No, no, no, no, of course not!” Zilong nodded with a smile, “You just need to let her audition without prejudice. I didn’t ask you to decide on her directly. Later, her manager will send you information. Remember to organize it well and don’t reject it.”
The director would not just let you audition as long as you sent your resume.
After rounds of screening, a small group of people went to the director to audition.
He was originally worried that Haolun’s studio would see Jiang Xun’s profile and immediately dismiss her just because of the word “influencer.”
“Alright.” Haolun took out his phone and called his assistant in front of Zilong. He told his assistant about this matter. “You can directly pass Jiang Xun’s profile and let her participate in the final audition.”
After hanging up the phone, Haolun said to Zilong, “How is it? Are you satisfied now?”
“Just you wait. I definitely won’t let you down. You still have to call me to thank me for recommending Jiang Xun,” Zilong said. “To be honest, I was the same as you. Jiang Xun even acted in Deng Xu’s Storm in The Heavenly Capital. You know that, right?”
“I know. I watched a part of it.” He didn’t finish watching it.
Haolun was so busy with work that he couldn’t have too much time to watch the show.
He just randomly picked up some clips to watch, and coincidentally, he didn’t see Jiang Xun.
“It was Deng Xu who strongly recommended Jiang Xun to me back then. I didn’t believe it at that time either. I thought that since Jiang Xun didn’t have much acting experience, could she have been as good as Deng Xu said? It was too exaggerated. In the end, when I saw Jiang Xun’s audition performance, my face hurt!” Zilong didn’t care that this matter was found out by Xiuse.
Only then did Xiuse realize that Jiang Xun was able to play the role of Cheng Yao because of Deng Xu’s recommendation.
Yixin’s attempt to get Xiuse into the group with money failed, so he didn’t mention this matter anymore.
As a businessman, he was tactful. He knew when to give up, when to persist, and when to say something.
Yixin had a good talk with Zilong and Haolun.
Jiang Xun went to the bathroom on the way.
When she went out, Jiang Xun complained about Qin Guan restaurant in her mind. Since it was in a high-class hotel like Qin Yang hotel, why couldn’t there be a bathroom in the private lounge?
It was really inconvenient to ask the guests where the washroom was.
This kind of design was not friendly to her!
Jiang Xun drew a detailed map on her phone and went to the washroom.
When Jiang Xun was washing her hands, Xiuse pushed the door open and walked in slowly.
She stood next to Jiang Xun and looked at her in the mirror. She sneered at her. “Aren’t you with Qin Mufeng? Why? Qin Mufeng didn’t help you and invest some resources for you? Do you need Director Chen to come to the dinner party and make fun of others?”
Jiang Xun turned off the tap and shook her hands twice. She took out a tissue to wipe her hands.
She didn’t understand why there was never a shortage of people who came to find trouble with her.
Couldn’t it be more peaceful, not interfering with each other and going their own way?
Everyone should mind their own business. How much less angry could they be.
Why did they have to look for trouble and add some color to their lives?
Jiang Xun crumpled the wet paper into a ball and easily threw it into the trash can at the door.
The paper ball accurately fell into the trash can.
