Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 367 Zhao Yunyi's Plea for Help===

Xu Fan suddenly stood up, stopped acting, and stared intently at Liao Fanxing, asking, "What did you say?"

Liao Fanxing said, "He just called me and said he can't participate in the movie 'Dying to Survive'."

This was Liao Fanxing's answer after confirming it repeatedly.

He stood nervously in front of Xu Fan and said apologetically, "Mr. Xu, it was my mistake. I didn't expect him not to come."

Xu Fan frowned and asked, "No agreement was signed?"

Liao Fanxing said, "I signed it, but he said he was willing to pay three times the penalty for breach of contract."

Xu Fan glanced at the sky, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Did you ask why?"

Liao Fanxing said, "He didn't say."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Mr. Xu, it's me..."

"Hurry up and reconnect with the actor. Once filming starts, we absolutely cannot delay. Also, I forgot, can you tell me his name again?"

"His name is Su Mo."

"Su Mo?"

"Yes, I acted in the movie 'Lost'."

Why him?

"Huazhou Films shifted the blame for the failure of the film 'Lost' onto him, so..."

"So, you think he's not wrong?"

"No, it's that his acting skills are really good, and as far as I know, he's not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word, or rather, he's a decent person."

"Just because you're a decent person doesn't mean you can refuse at will, even after signing an agreement. You should know that the three-fold penalty for breach of contract is just a constraint, but the consequences of this matter are not something we can bear just by paying the three-fold penalty."

"I know I will find a suitable replacement actor as soon as possible."

"That's fine then."

Xu Fan couldn't help but recall the previous battle between "Lost and Love" and "Lost," in which Su Mo was one of the lead actresses in the film "Lost."

He had also seen the movie, and as Liao Fanxing said, Su Mo's acting skills were indeed commendable; among all the young people, he was outstanding enough.

But the key point is that Xu Fan felt there was no need to feel too sorry for someone who didn't keep his word.

But deep down, I still felt some complex and conflicted feelings.

Su Mo was originally a singer, but she turned to acting because her voice was damaged. She didn't expect to become famous overnight and be known to the public for her acting skills. So he really didn't expect Su Mo to do such a thing.

But now that Su Mo is really not coming, who should we find for the new actress?

This is a question that Liao Fanxing needs to consider, but Xu Fan, as the director, also bears responsibility in essence.

The task of selecting actors was originally his responsibility, but he left all these issues to Liao Fanxing.

Blaming someone won't solve the problem; the key is to do everything possible to find a suitable extra as soon as possible.

The acting continued, and Xu Fan's acting skills were very strong; at least, everyone else on set thought he was really great.

However, after each performance, Xu Fan would carefully review the footage of his performance, and if he saw anything that was not quite right or uncomfortable, he would immediately reshoot it.

Clearly, Xu Fan is very demanding of himself, but he doesn't mean that every performance has to be done in one take.

Because he really liked the character "Lu Shouyi" and wanted to bring the character to life.

After a day of filming, Xu Fan's mood was still not much better the next day. However, faced with the actors who were giving their all, Xu Fan still took the matter to heart and directed the director seriously.

When the morning's filming ended, Liao Fanxing ran over and said, "President Xu, I've contacted many well-known young actors with good acting skills, since this movie needs such popular figures, but their schedules are all full and they don't have time right now."

Xu Fan frowned and asked, "Can't we find a single one?"

Liao Fanxing said, "I'll go look again."

Xu Fan instructed, "We can do without the so-called popularity, but the acting skills must be up to par."

Liao Fanxing nodded and left.

Xu Fan shouted again, "Filming can't stop, let's film everything we can first."

Liao Fanxing said, "It will work."

Then, he cautiously added, "How about I call Su Mo again and ask?"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Even if they come, they might not put their heart into acting."

Liao Fanxing sighed helplessly, and Xu Fan said, "If all else fails, go to a performing arts school; maybe we can find a suitable actor there."

Hearing this, Liao Fanxing nodded and said, "I understand."

Watching Liao Fanxing leave, Xu Fan frowned. The staff had already begun to pack up the set. Andy Lau walked over, patted Xu Fan on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be discouraged. There will definitely be someone more suitable. There are quite a few people like her in the entertainment industry."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I know, mainly because he has quite a few scenes, and he basically has scenes with everyone. If this continues, it will be too much of a delay."

Andy Lau said, "Your idea was actually quite good. The main thing for actors is their acting skills. There's no difference between new and old actors. Traffic stars, or young idols, can attract a certain number of viewers."

But you already have a huge following, and with Zihan, Xu Shan, and myself involved, I believe this movie will definitely be good, easily launching a newcomer's career.

Xu Fan was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "A newcomer?"

Just those two words made Xu Fan involuntarily think of someone. He slapped his thigh and looked at Andy Lau, saying, "Perhaps I've found the right person, but I don't know if he can handle the job."

Andy Lau said, "With you here, there's no problem."

Xu Fan nodded and dialed the number anyway.

He had kept this number in his phone for so long but had never dialed it, yet at this moment he was filled with excitement.

"Hey, Miss Yuwei, it's me..."

"Mr. Xu? Please help Xiaowei, she's gone missing!"

Xu Fan was stunned. He recognized the voice on the phone, but it was definitely not Gu Yuwei. It was the person he had been looking for.

But the voice on the phone was hurried, sad, and nervous.

Zhao Yunyi continued in a trembling voice, "Mr. Xu, could you please save Xiaowei?"

Xu Fan was taken aback, and inexplicably recalled some words he had overheard in the courtyard that day. The director seemed to have some feelings for Gu Yuwei. He frowned and asked, "Where are you? I'll be right there."

Zhao Yunyi said, "Luzhou University."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fan left the film set immediately. Andy Lau, who was standing to the side, was stunned and couldn't help but call out, "Xiao Fan, where are you going?"

Xu Fan waved his hand and said, "I'll be right back."

He didn't tell Andy Lau, after all, Andy Lau knew too many people outside.

In addition, he at least has the protection of the Music Fist, which can basically solve some problems. Also, he doesn't know the specifics of the situation yet.

Luckily, a taxi happened to appear, and he soon arrived at Luzhou University.

At the school gate, Zhao Yunyi saw Xu Fan appear and ran over nervously, saying, "Mr. Xu, please save Xiao Wei."

Xu Fan frowned and asked, "Where did she go? What happened?"

Faced with two consecutive questions, Zhao Yunyi paused for a moment and quickly replied, "After we finished eating, we were planning to go to the school to look for film crews again to see if I could get a role."

But just now, Xiaowei said she needed to go to the bathroom, so she gave me her phone and bag. I was standing at the door when I suddenly heard a scream, and then there was silence. Xiaowei hasn't come out yet.

Xu Fan hurriedly asked, "Screams?"

Zhao Yunyi said, "Hmm, it shouldn't be. Anyway, he just shouted 'Ah!' loudly."

Xu Fan was taken aback, but since it was a matter of life and death, he still asked, "Could it be inside?"

Zhao Yunyi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just saw your call came in, so I..."

Xu Fan looked helpless and shook his head, saying, "You mean if I run here, I can go into the women's restroom?"

Zhao Yunyi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. Xu Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a woman walking by in the distance and quickly greeted her, "Hello, beautiful lady, could you please help me? My friend has been in the restroom for over half an hour and hasn't come out yet. I just heard her call out, and I'm worried she might faint. Could you please check on her?"

The woman frowned, glanced at Xu Fan, wore sunglasses and a mask, shook her head, and turned to leave.

Xu Fan was taken aback, realizing that the girl in front of him was probably scared because she thought he wasn't a good person while wearing a mask and sunglasses.

So she quickly took off her mask and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm wearing a mask."

"Xu Fan, you...you're Brother Fan?"

Before Xu Fan could explain, the beautiful woman looked at him with surprise and excitement.

Xu Fan nodded heavily: "Yes, I am Xu Fan. Can you help me?"

The beautiful woman's smile faded instantly, and she quickly said, "Leave it to me. What does your friend look like?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Short hair, with an earring."

These were the characteristics of Gu Yuwei that Xu Fan had thought of. She originally wanted to mention that she also had a backpack and turned her head, but after glancing at the two items in Zhao Yunyi's hand, she didn't say it.

But Zhao Yunyi added: "Big eyes, small nose, blue down jacket, black leather boots."

The woman nodded and said, "No need for such details."

After saying that, the beautiful woman quickly went into the nearby restroom. However, just as she was walking away, she suddenly turned back and said, "Brother Fan, I like you."

Xu Fan nodded awkwardly, wanting to say, "Beautiful lady, I'm really in a hurry. Can we find someone first? Can we talk about liking me later?"

But in the end, he kept smiling, because finding Gu Yuwei was more important.

Seeing that the beautiful woman had finally gone to the restroom, Xu Fan couldn't help but look at Zhao Yunyi and asked, "Big eyes, small nose?"

Zhao Yunyi nodded seriously.

Xu Fan asked, "Is it awesome?"

Zhao Yunyi was taken aback and fell silent.

Xu Fan kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the restroom, or more precisely, on the women's restroom.

After staring for a while, he silently put his mask and sunglasses back on and continued to stare.

Not long after, the beautiful woman came out alone, and both Xu Fan and Zhao Yunyi's expressions changed.
