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

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Bufan has delegated the music department's affairs to Zhao Xueyong. If he can reach an agreement with those people, he naturally won't have any objections, including Yang Yuying.

"Boss, we got word from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television that the script has been approved."

Bai Bing knocked on the door and came in to report to Lin Bufan.

After Lin Bufan's adaptation, the script for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is even more flawless, and passing the censorship is a certainty; submitting it for review is just a formality.

"Notification that actor auditions will begin tomorrow."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

Today is February 15th, and there are less than twenty days until the Oscars ceremony on March 6th. Before that, at least the actors need to be selected.

"Yes, boss!"

During this period, the entire entertainment industry was waiting for Kyoto Entertainment's announcement.

In particular, the four most popular young male actors of the previous generation, Lu Yi, Huang Lei, Li Yapeng, and Hu Bing, were aiming for the male lead role.

This includes Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Yin Xiaotian, and Nie Yuan, who were just selected as the new generation of four popular young actors.

This is Lin Bufan's movie, and the competition among these male actors is extremely fierce.

Almost everyone believes that the male lead in Lin Bufan's new movie will definitely be chosen from among these people.

The second female lead, Gu Shaotang, who has been released, is being eyed by many female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Although she is not the female lead, film resources are scarce for female celebrities, let alone Lin Bufan's film.

Let alone the second female lead, even the third and fourth female leads, as long as Lin Bufan personally asks, the four leading actresses and two leading actresses would definitely agree without hesitation.

Often, the size of the role doesn't matter; what matters is being able to establish a connection with Lin Bufan. That's the most important thing.

The size of the role doesn't matter the first time; there will definitely be another opportunity in the future.

……

On the 18th, the area outside Kyoto Entertainment was packed with people, all of them celebrities of all sizes from the entertainment industry. The four most popular young actors from the previous and current years were all there, along with other second- and third-tier stars.

Since Kyoto has announced that the auditions will be open to all, it means that everyone has a chance to be selected.

"Old Zhu, how's your understanding of the character Yu Huatian going?"

Inside the office, Lin Bufan looked at Zhu Yawen, who was sitting opposite him.

When Lin Bufan decided to give the role of Yu Huatian to Zhu Yawen, he had already given him the script.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Zhu Yawen looked confident.

During this period, he had been studying the character of Yu Huatian, and his experience with Wang Xiaojian made him even more adept at playing the role.

"kindness!"

Lin Bufan looked at Zhu Yawen and nodded slightly.

From Zhu Yawen's every move, Lin Bufan could tell that Zhu Yawen seemed to have already gotten into character, especially in some of his micro-expressions and actions, which showed that he had already gotten into the role ahead of time.

Immediately, Lin Bufan turned to look at Dong Xuan, who was sitting to the side looking somewhat uneasy.

"Extraordinary, I'm afraid..."

Dong Xuan sat next to Lin Bufan, her fingers fidgeting nervously.

When Dong Xuan learned that Lin Bufan had cast her as the female lead, she was shocked but also deeply moved, considering it was a film with an investment of 60 million yuan.

Given Dong Xuan's current status in the entertainment industry, her most outstanding role is none other than "Snowflake Goddess Dragon," placing her at the bottom of the second tier and just a step away from falling to the third tier.

After the initial shock and emotion, Dong Xuan felt particularly uneasy; she was afraid.

She was afraid that if she messed up the movie, it would not only affect Lin Bufan's reputation, but it would also be even worse if the movie lost money.

"Don't worry, I'm here. You don't need to be afraid."

Lin Bufan gently patted Dong Xuan's small hand to give her courage.

"But……"

"No buts. I said you can, and you definitely can."

Faced with the hesitant Dong Xuan, Lin Bufan looked at her with a resolute and unquestionable tone.

Dong Xuan, a straightforward girl from Northeast China, is not the type to be hesitant and timid. She is just worried that she might hold Lin Bufan back.

"Boss, it's time."

When it was 9:20 a.m., Bai Bing knocked on the door to remind Lin Bufan.

"it is good."

Lin Bufan nodded and stood up, then led Zhu Yawen and Dong Xuan to the audition room.

"Xiao Bai, tell everyone to come in one by one."

"Yes, boss!"

Soon, the first person to audition walked in.

"Hello Director Lin, I'm Huang Lei."

Huang Lei walked in and greeted Lin Bufan politely.

Looking at Huang Lei, who was still quite dashing and handsome at the moment, Lin Bufan found it hard to believe that he was the same person as the greasy Huang Lei of later generations.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Lin Bufan looked up at Huang Lei and nodded slightly.

Given his current status in the entertainment industry, he doesn't need to try to get close to the other party or chatter on about useless things; he can just get straight to the point.

"Okay, Director Lin."

Huang Lei took a deep breath.

He knew that this was a rare opportunity for him.

The entertainment industry is tough; the turnover rate is even faster. If he hadn't chosen to stay at the university to work, he might have been forgotten by now.

Huang Lei is actually a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, but he teaches acting, not directing.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Huang."

After Huang Lei performed a short segment, Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

Given his current status, he either agrees or disagrees, without any need for polite formalities like going back to consider it.

"All right!"

Huang Lei gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Before he came, he knew that this was a martial arts film and that his chances of being selected were very low, but he was just trying his luck.

"Director Lin, may I have your phone number? If you need anything when you return to Beijing Film Academy, just let me know."

Since Huang Lei had already gone this far, Lin Bufan couldn't refuse and left his phone number with him.

"Next!"

After Huang Lei left, Bai Bing continued to shout outside.

Several actors came in one after another, but none of them met Lin Bufan's requirements after an audition.

"Director Lin, hello, I'm Li Yapeng."

When Li Yapeng walked in, Lin Bufan's eyes suddenly lit up.

To be honest, Li Yapeng isn't handsome, but he has a certain charisma, a kind of charisma with a martial arts and chivalrous air about him.

"You perform this part."

Lin Bufan chose a simple fight scene from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

If Li Yapeng can perform well, Lin Bufan can almost certainly hand over the role to him.

"Okay, Director Lin!"

Li Yapeng took a deep breath and, based on his understanding of the character, began to act.

At first, Lin Bufan seemed alright, including his martial arts moves, which were quite commendable. This wasn't a flaw, as the martial arts director would naturally address the issue of movement once filming began.

However, Lin Bufan gradually realized that Li Yapeng's acting was becoming increasingly off.

Zhao Huai'an, who is clearly a chivalrous and righteous man, is being portrayed by actors who increasingly resemble the unrestrained and unruly Linghu Chong.
