Hearing Fu Shan's words, Xu Yifei's eyes immediately lit up.
"Investing in and filming Legend of the Sword and the Hero yourself? That's a great idea!"
However, unlike Xu Yifei's joy and optimism, Jiang Jinsong shook his head repeatedly.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work. Investing in and filming this drama will probably cost a lot of money. With the current capabilities of my company, I'm afraid we can't handle it."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking for investors and capital everywhere.
If he could solve the funding problem himself, why would he have been running around so much these days?
Hearing this, Xu Yifei's eyes also dimmed, and she muttered,
"Right. The funding problem... How do we solve it? It's not easy to invest in and film Legend of the Sword and the Hero ourselves."
For a moment, Xu Yifei became dejected again, and the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in her heart was once again extinguished.
Seeing Xu Yifei's disappointment, Fu Shan felt a pang of heartache and immediately waved his hand.
"I'll solve the funding issue. Uncle Jiang, you just focus on preparing the relevant matters for the crew."
Hearing Fu Shan's words, Jiang Jinsong was taken aback.
"Huh? You'll solve it? Fu Shan, how are you going to solve it?"
Xu Yifei looked at Fu Shan with a mix of anticipation and worry.
"Fu Shan, are you sure? Really? I don't have to make a comeback. Don't push yourself too hard for me."
Xu Yifei understood Fu Shan's financial capabilities to some extent.
After all, Fu Shan had shown her how ridiculously wealthy he was.
Even so, Xu Yifei was still worried that Fu Shan would get into debt for her sake.
After all, investing in filming a movie or TV series isn't like shopping.
Film crews are very expensive.
She was afraid Fu Shan couldn't afford it.
Meeting Xu Yifei's worried gaze, Fu Shan felt a warmth in his heart. He raised his hand reassuringly and gently patted the back of Xu Yifei's hand.
"Don't worry! I can still afford this much."
Xu Yifei cared about him so much, even more than her acting career, which moved and comforted Fu Shan.
This also strengthened his resolve to help Xu Yifei make a successful comeback.
Thinking of this, Fu Shan turned his gaze to Jiang Jinsong: "Uncle Jiang, you don't need to look for other investors and capital anymore. I will be fully responsible for investing in the Legend of the Sword and the Hero. You don't have to worry about the funds, I will ensure they are sufficient. Now, what you need to consider is preparing the crew as soon as possible. The director and the crew members should be selected early."
"Right! And the actors for this drama should also be finalized as soon as possible."
Fu Shan indicated that he wasn't short on money.
There was absolutely no need to worry about the funds.
Everyone just needed to roll up their sleeves and get to work!
Seeing Fu Shan's serious expression and hearing his words, which didn't seem to be false at all, Jiang Jinsong was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand: "Good! Good! Good! Fu Shan, with these words from you, I can rest assured. Alright! I will go and arrange the preparation of the crew right away."
Originally, he thought Fu Shan was just generally wealthy.
He hadn't expected him to be this wealthy.
This was great. With the funding issue resolved, he could now freely prepare the film crew.
Jiang Jinsong moved quickly, promptly finalizing the director and all the crew members. The preparations were quickly taking shape.
However, he encountered another problem: casting.
So, on this day, Jiang Jinsong came to the Xu family as usual to report on the daily work to Fu Shan, the investor. During the report, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ugh, the casting for A Yue's role is really troubling. We can't find anyone suitable. And the other important roles too. I really don't know who to cast."
These important characters all had distinct personalities.
Jiang Jinsong hoped to find actors who matched the characters' images, with both good looks and acting skills.
However, such a person is not easy to find.
To say nothing of other things, let's take the role of A Yue.
The script's character setting for A Yue, the second female lead, is a charming girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. However, the people recommending candidates all proposed older actresses with so-called "youthful vibes."
The most ridiculous thing was a certain director recommending a very popular, high-profile actress to play A Yue.
And this popular actress was already over forty years old this year.
Moreover, this actress's appearance actually leaned towards maturity.
She didn't look like a girl at all; she even had a hint of world-weariness.
To have her try to force a youthful image…
Don't know if this actress will feel awkward.
Anyway, Jiang Jinsong is definitely feeling pretty awkward.
Sigh, so basically—casting is hard!
Wanting to choose an actor that is satisfactory and also fits the character's setting in the script is even harder.
"Yeah, casting is really difficult."
Xu Yifei, hearing Jiang Jinsong's sigh, couldn't help but sigh as well.
She looked as though she understood his feelings completely.
After all, she has also been involved in the entertainment and film and television industry for many years, so naturally, she understands these things to some extent.
Fu Shan was naturally aware of Jiang Jinsong's experiences over the past few days, as well as the difficulties he'd encountered during the casting process.
After all, Jiang Jinsong came to report the latest progress to him every day, and in the process, he also complained to him quite a bit.
Seeing Jiang Jinsong sighing constantly, and seeing Xu Yifei also sitting beside him, sighing, a flicker of concern flashed through Fu Shan's eyes. He immediately waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's just hold Open Auditions."
Hearing this, Jiang Jinsong and Xu Yifei, who had been sighing, couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but say in unison: "Open Auditions?"
"What Open Auditions?"
Fu Shan just smiled at this: "We can go to the film schools to hold Open Auditions. We don't need them to have any fame, or even any previous acting experience, it doesn't matter. As long as they meet the character requirements, we can let them act."
Hearing this, Xu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily:
"This suggestion seems pretty good."
Jiang Jinsong thought for a moment, also pondering:
"Hmm, I also think Fu Shan's suggestion is feasible. Magic City has several art schools. We can go to these schools to hold Open Auditions for actors."
Fu Shan heard this, and smiled again:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it right away. Tomorrow we'll go and hold Open Auditions for actors."
* The next day. Early in the morning, Jiang Jinsong and Fu Shan went together to Magic City Film Academy, a famous art school in Magic City, to hold Open Auditions for some important roles in the "Legend of the Sword and the Hero" crew.
Xu Yifei also went with them.
This time, she didn't disguise herself through Fu Shan. However, she was also dressed very low-key.
Without makeup, and without any modification, she appeared at Magic City Film Academy just like this, without any adornment.
Of course, her appearance naturally attracted countless passersby, as well as students from the academy, to watch.
