Xu Fan shook his head and said softly, "They are all very talented actors."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Even so, this age is too old."

Xu Fan said, "You haven't read the script yet, of course you don't know."

The fat man gave an awkward smile. He really couldn't stand watching this, or rather, he wasn't interested in TV dramas at all. It was just that seeing so many people, or rather, so many elderly people participating in the show, was indeed a bit strange and unbelievable.

Everyone took their seats and chatted back and forth, waiting for Xu Fan to arrive.

Xu Fan felt he was almost done, so he started walking towards the hotel stage. He wasn't doing it to get a higher vantage point; he just wanted to find a better spot to bask in the sun.

To put it simply, Xu Fan felt that this was the best way to get people to focus their attention.

Standing on the stage, Xu Fan began by saying, "Good morning, everyone. I am Xu Fan."

There weren't many people at this meet-and-greet, but there were definitely a lot too, at least forty or fifty.

After all, there are quite a few main actors in the entire TV series, so Xu Fan invited almost everyone he could this time.

Yu Hezhi and his wife, who had previously made a phone call, decided to come and take a look after considering it.

However, this time they specifically told Xu Fan that they were not there for an audition, but rather to ask him many questions about the TV series.

In addition, almost all the veteran actors that Xu invited were present, including his old friends.

For example, Xiao Zihan, Xu Shan, Liu Tianwang, and Leng Xiaogu, etc.

Upon Xu Fan's greeting, dozens of people in the audience clapped enthusiastically. As the applause rang out, Xu Fan bowed slightly to express his gratitude and then continued, "Thank you all for coming to this meet-and-greet. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me later. Our auditions will begin this afternoon."

After briefly explaining the process, Xu Fan said, "Alright, everyone can start eating now."

For Xu Fan, this meet-and-greet was not only a gathering for actors, but also a chance to connect with veteran actors in the film and television industry.

As long as there are no problems, he believes that the TV series "In the Name of the People" will proceed in a normal manner.

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Xu Fan then stepped off the stage, and Zhao Feiyang, who was narrating, came over and asked, "The people who came today are all important. What are you planning to do?"

Xu Fan said with a smile, "Of course, we'll start with the Best Actor and Best Actress winners."

After speaking, Xu Fan took the lead and walked forward. Zhao Feiyang, seeing this, quickly followed with the wine bottle in his hand.

The task of pouring the wine naturally fell to him.

Xu Fan went straight to a table.

The table was relatively small, so only two people were sitting there, but these two people would occasionally be offered a toast or greeted.

It's easy to imagine their respective statuses.

Xu Fan naturally recognized the two of them. Although he had never met them before, they hadn't changed much over the years.

"Hello, Mr. Yu. Hello, Mrs. Hao."

Xu Fan walked over and said humbly and politely, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come."

Yu Hezhi smiled slightly and looked at Xu Fan, saying, "Young friend, your performance tonight was truly remarkable."

Xu Fan was taken aback, then quickly said, "After all, they are all seniors, so it's only natural that we should host a welcome dinner for everyone."

Yu Hezhi waved his hand, stood up and said, "You kid, I was traveling abroad and flew back."

Xu Fan smiled and quickly said, "I know you're busy, so I'm even more grateful. I wonder what you two think of my script after reading it?"

Yu Hezhi glanced at his wife, then looked at Xu Fan and said, "After all, the script we saw was only the tip of the iceberg, but we must admit that the content of this script has truly shocked and attracted us, so we came."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Perhaps if you agree to act in it, the filming of the entire TV series will be even more perfect."

Yu Hezhi, a renowned actor from the 1980s, looked at Xu Fan with a deep gaze and said, "We are very curious about the upcoming plot, but we also have some questions we'd like you to answer. If your answers are correct, we..."

At this point, Yu Hezhi glanced at his wife and said, "Let's begin the performance."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Please feel free to ask, both of you."

Yu Hezhi said, "The script unfolds a huge storyline on the issue of anti-corruption, but after all, it is just an anti-corruption drama. In recent years, our country has produced countless anti-corruption dramas, but none of them have been able to break the 005 mark. How can you be sure that your TV series will be better than them?"

It has to be said that Yu Hezhi's question was tricky, but it also made Xu Fan secretly pleased.

After all, asking such a question shows that the old gentleman really put his heart into it and thought about the things behind the film.

Xu Fan quickly replied, "First, there's the script, which I created entirely myself, adapting it from real-life cases. Second, there's my personal popularity; as you know, I'm quite popular in the entertainment industry right now."

Yu Hezhi smiled and said, "You're too modest."

Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Thirdly, this TV series was approved for filming by the higher authorities."

This is Xu Fan's trump card.

He knew perfectly well that what he said wasn't actually true, but he had implicitly or explicitly given his permission from Zhao Laodao and his mother.

Yu Hezhi was indeed taken aback when he heard this, and asked curiously, "This script involves people in positions of power, and not just half of them. Your script is really bold."

Xu Fan really wanted to say that the script actually came from another world, but in the end he didn't say it. He just said, "Mr. Yu, a real anti-corruption drama should be realistic. The essence of this drama is this, so I have to be responsible for the drama itself and for the content that the audience wants to see."

===Chapter 671 Signing a Confidentiality Agreement===

For Xu Fan...

Either don't make this TV series at all, or if you do, make it a good one.

Therefore, he decided that he would personally select and confirm the actors for each role.

That's why he personally called to invite every veteran actor and every senior figure in the film and television industry.

Yu Hezhi and his wife exchanged a glance, and they both felt a slight sense of approval for Xu Fan's answer.

Xu Fan is right. Only authenticity can move people. Perhaps only a TV series like this can allow us to discover the inner world more realistically.

It is precisely because of this kind of Xu Fan that he has such confidence in the TV series he is filming.

Just then, Yu Hezhi shifted his gaze from his wife to Xu Fan and said, "One last question: do you like making TV dramas? You know, although your two previous films were very successful, TV dramas are a completely different genre. No matter how successful the script or how professional the actors are, if the director is not good, the drama will inevitably be ruined."

This was the most important question that Yu Hezhi had thought about carefully, and in fact, Xu Fan himself had also considered this question.

He had to admit that if it were his former self, he would have been completely clueless.

But things are different now. Now he has a system, which is like having a cheat code, making it easy for him to film a TV series.

Furthermore, we can directly film based on other people's TV series.

So when he heard Yu Hezhi’s question, Xu Fan replied, “I am actually a director who came to the field later in life, but I am very confident in my abilities. Just like when I first made ‘Lost and Love,’ even if everyone opposed it, so what? I thought I could do it.”

After Xu Fan finished speaking, Yu Hezhi looked at Xu Fan and gave his evaluation again, saying, "Very excellent."

Xu Fan thanked him, and Yu Hezhi and his wife exchanged glances, discussed for a moment, and then looked at Xu Fan and said, "I think we will also do our best to make this TV series as well as you do."

Hearing this, Xu Fan was overjoyed and quickly extended his hand, saying, "This is truly wonderful news. Welcome to the two of you seniors."

The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile. After shaking hands, Xu Fan offered a toast before saying, "Then you go ahead with your work, I'll check on the others."

Xu Fan moved through the crowd, displaying extreme humility and politeness in front of every senior, which earned him considerable praise.

The veteran actors on set looked at Xu Fan one by one, some expressing their gratitude, and others expressing their anticipation for the TV series.

In this way, Xu Fan visited many of the seniors present and naturally answered many questions.

Among them are some like Yu Hezhi, who were originally there for an assessment but now agreed without hesitation.

But some people had already agreed, and now that they've seen the world, they're naturally overjoyed.

Xu Fan didn't encounter a single person who refused, but he knew that many people had already rejected the idea because they were worried about the show's explicit content, so naturally they didn't agree.

After going around once, Xu Fan thought he could hold his liquor and was slightly tipsy.

Fortunately, it wasn't too serious. After a short rest and washing my face, I felt much better.

After all this was done, most of them had agreed, but there were still some things that had been considered but not yet decided, so they said goodbye and left.

Xu Fan naturally didn't stop them. In fact, there were only two or three people. Xu Fan wasn't too sad. Although it was a pity, it wasn't a big problem.

When everyone who had agreed to participate had stayed behind, Zhao Feiyang came to Xu Fan's side and whispered, "It's almost done. Otherwise, I'll have everyone prepare to go to the conference room."

Xu Fan glanced at the crowd, who were still in high spirits, and said, "Let's wait a little longer."

After a while, when the excitement of the crowd had subsided somewhat, Xu Fan said, "Seniors, I apologize for the poor hospitality today."

Everyone exchanged polite words.

"Young Master Xu, you're too kind. We've had a great meal and drinks today. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Mr. Xu, we will definitely do our best in future cooperation. Thank you for your hospitality today."

"Xiao Xu, starting tomorrow I'll just be an actor, and you'll be the director. You can call me whatever you want."

""

The voices of the crowd were chaotic and disorganized, but every word they spoke was sincere.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Everyone is too kind. If everyone is ready, let's get down to business. Shall we go to the conference room?"

Xu Fan didn't use the word "please," but everyone felt extremely comfortable hearing it, and they quickly started walking. Amidst the chattering chatter, they followed the directions and arrived at the conference room.

As everyone took their seats, knowing that Xu Fan was going to talk about the TV series, most of them were already awake, and at this moment, all eyes were on Xu Fan.

Xu Fan said to Zhao Feiyang beside him, "Distribute the confidentiality agreements."

After speaking, Zhao Feiyang forwarded the agreement to everyone. Xu Fan then said, "Everyone here is a senior, but today we will work together to create a TV series. You should all know the name of this TV series; it's called 'In the Name of the People'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of applause broke out. Xu Fan smiled slightly and continued, "So, everyone here will be participating in the filming of the TV series 'In the Name of the People,' so let's stick to our usual practice and sign a confidentiality agreement."

Everyone is happy to see that these are all veteran actors who have been working in the film and television industry for many years, so it's natural for them to follow the established procedures.

Sign, stamp, and press your fingerprint.

After everything was over, Xu Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Next, I hope everyone can support my work, and I hope we can work together to produce a classic TV series."

Xu Fan's words were rather official, but there was still a lot of applause.

As everyone chatted and discussed, Xu Fan suddenly interjected, saying, "You are all seniors in the film and television industry. I have a key to ask for your help."

As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him, their faces showing confusion.

Xu Fan didn't shy away from the topic and said, "The main actors in the TV series are basically all in place. I've already given a general overview of everyone's roles, but there's one role for which we still haven't found a satisfactory candidate. So I'm hoping that anyone here can recommend someone."

Xu Fan spoke very sincerely and earnestly.
