The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"Earning the audience's tears and shouting ourselves hoarse is not as worthwhile as killing a real traitor."

"We'll take advantage of the summer vacation so the school won't know. We'll disguise our identities and then figure out a way to sneak into the Yi family's house."

"Once you see with your own eyes someone who betrays the dignity of their country and compatriots, you'll realize that killing is not difficult at all; our only fear is not killing enough, or not killing fast enough!"

"I will find an opportunity to do it myself, and I will bear the consequences myself."

"If we don't kill them soon, school will start."

Pan Yueming stood in front of Lin Bufan, and at this moment he seemed to be possessed by Kuang Yumin. His tone of voice, his sincere emotions, and his simple, naive but innocent thoughts were exactly the same.

"Clap clap clap!"

After watching Pan Yueming's performance, Lin Bufan raised his hand and applauded with satisfaction.

"Director Lin!"

Pan Yueming looked at Lin Bufan with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"Congratulations, this role is yours."

As Lin Bufan spoke, he instructed Bai Bing to take Pan Yueming to sign the role contract.

……

"How is it?"

Dong Jie was outside the door when she saw Pan Yueming come out from inside, and she hurriedly went up to him.

"We got it!"

Pan Yueming waved the contract in his hand, a confident smile on his face.

"Very good!"

Ren Jiaying, standing to the side, smiled excitedly, feeling happy for Dong Jie and Pan Yueming.

Originally, she was just Dong Jie's agent, but after Pan Yueming got together with Dong Jie, she also became Pan Yueming's agent.

The two of them are now sharing a brokerage team.

Less than half an hour after Dong Jie and Pan Yueming left, Kyoto Entertainment announced the audition results.

"What?! The second male lead got snagged by Pan Yueming?"

Huang Xiaoming was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

He hadn't even seen the other person at the audition.

"Brother Xiaoming, is Director Lin deliberately targeting you?" Huang Xiaoming's assistant hesitated for a moment before looking at Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming is currently a contracted artist with Huayi Brothers, and the matter between Kyoto Entertainment and Huayi Brothers is far from over.

"No way!"

Huang Xiaoming shook his head, denying the possibility.

Through several conversations with Lin Bufan, he was certain that the other party was definitely not the kind of person who said one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.

The reason why Kuang Yumin chose someone else for the role couldn't be because Lin Bufan was targeting him. There's only one possibility: Pan Yueming was more suitable for the role than him.

He understands that a big director like Lin Bufan has very high standards for his art films and would never choose you just because you're a big star.

For commercial films, star power and influence might be considered, but for art films, there's only one factor: the suitability of the actors.

The suitability for the role can be judged by whether the character's temperament is similar. If the suitability is not good enough, good acting skills can make up for it.

Like Huang Xiaoming, many celebrities in the industry did not expect that the role of the second male lead in "Lust, Caution," which was fiercely contested by top mainland actors, would ultimately fall to Pan Yueming, a second-tier actor in the industry.

……

After the audition for the second male lead in "Lust, Caution" was over, it was time for the audition for the female lead.

Currently, all the female celebrities in the industry are gearing up to show their charm to Lin Bufan on the day of the audition.

However, before the audition, Kyoto Entertainment had already announced that only actresses under the age of 30 were eligible to audition for the female lead in "Lust, Caution".

With this age limit in place, many actresses over 30 in the industry can't help but shake their heads and sigh that they missed a great opportunity.

"Girl, are you auditioning for 'Lust, Caution' tomorrow too?"

At home, Deng Chao looked at Sun Li, who was getting dressed.

"Hmm, I'd like to try!"

Sun Li turned to look at Deng Chao and nodded earnestly.

Being chosen as the female lead in Director Lin's film would be a huge boost to her career, so she was determined to give it a try.

"Okay, then go ahead and give it a try!"

After thinking about it, Deng Chao agreed.

"You agree?"

Sun Li looked at Deng Chao with some surprise.

According to some information released by Kyoto Entertainment, the film "Lust, Caution" will inevitably have some nude scenes and intimate scenes featuring the female lead.

Back then, Deng Chao and Hao Lei, who were already preparing to get married, broke up because of Hao Lei's role in "Summer Palace".

Sun Li kept thinking about how to persuade Deng Chao.

"Since you insist on this, I have no choice but to support your idea. After all, you have your own dreams, don't you?" Deng Chao walked up to Sun Li with a gentle and doting expression, looking at her.

"I……"

Sun Li was instantly moved. She had been wondering how to persuade him, but she never expected him to understand and support her so much.

However, what Sun Li didn't see was that, just as Sun Li was deeply moved, a sly glint flashed in Deng Chao's eyes.

He had already asked Director Lin about the requirements for the female lead in "Lust, Caution," and he found that not only were there no suitable scenes for him, but the actress also did not fit Sun Li's temperament.

Without these preparations, Deng Chao would never have agreed to let Sun Li audition.

……

"Brother Xun, this role isn't suitable for you..."

Just after Lin Bufan hung up on Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun called.

For the role of Wang Jiazhi, Kyoto Entertainment had almost no suitable candidates. However, the reason I say "almost" is that they actually did have some.

For example, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are both quite suitable for the role of Wang Jiazhi.

However, Liu Yifei is his woman, so of course he would never let his woman play such a role. In fact, for his own woman, kissing scenes and other slightly intimate scenes, a body double must be used.

Shu Chang was no exception; it would be impossible for Lin Bufan not to have feelings for her.

After hanging up with Zhou Xun, Lin Bufan immediately turned off his phone.

All the actresses in the industry are going crazy now; they all want the role of Wang Jiazhi.

No wonder, this is Lin Bufan's second time directing an art film, and he's even casting the female lead. Who wouldn't want to land this role?

Now, not only mainland actresses, but also actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan are gearing up for the competition.
