Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 596: Chapter 594: Flipping the Heavens [1st Update]

”Don’t worry about what just happened, I’ll take full responsibility,” Lu Xiaobu continued, addressing the bewildered Shan Tianxiang and his daughter.

”Wait a minute, Lu Xiaobu, are you Lu Xiaobu?”

Shan Tianxiang suddenly realized, ”The Lu Xiaobu from ’A Chinese Odyssey’?!”

”Yup, that’s me.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded in confirmation.

”Ah, please, have a seat!”

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s confirmation, Shan Tianxiang suddenly erupted with strong enthusiasm!

In his heart, his admiration for ’A Chinese Odyssey’ was very high!

Not only because of the film itself, but even more so, he appreciated the words that Lu Xiaobu said at the Golden Fire Award!

Those were the words he, as an actor, always wanted to hear!

However, that was all he knew about Lu Xiaobu. As for his fame in the business world and so on, he really had no idea.

After all, with his family in such a situation, he had no time to care about those things!

His daughter was the same; while he at least knew about ’A Chinese Odyssey,’ his daughter was completely unaware of it.

”Let’s cut the crap, I don’t like dawdling! Let’s try out the scene!” Lu Xiaobu took out a scene from ’Bright Sword’ and put it in front of Shan Tianxiang.

”Alright!”

Shan Tianxiang actually had a belly full of questions, but once he heard it was about acting, instantly, he tossed all his questions to the back of his mind!

Not just questions, even the previous uncontrollable fear of Lu Xiaobu disappeared!

He picked up the script with full concentration and began to study it in detail.

And as he read, he frowned, clearly showing that he was earnestly seeking to grasp the essence of the scene!

Lu Xiaobu was very impressed by this scene.

Moreover, there was a small detail that also greatly satisfied Lu Xiaobu.

That was, when Shan Tianxiang’s daughter once tried to take a peek at the script, Shan Tianxiang promptly closed the script and gave her a very stern look!

This was an actor’s professionalism, protecting the script!

Lu Xiaobu really admired this as well!

So, he had already made a decision, whether he was suited for the role of Li Yunlong or not, he was going to ensure he lived the life he deserved!

Soon after, Shan Tianxiang finished reading.

Instead of immediately starting the audition, he closed his eyes, closed the script, and continued to delve deeper into character interpretation.

Lu Xiaobu, who normally had no patience, showed an unusually high level of patience this time, simply waiting for Shan Tianxiang’s contemplation.

Finally, Shan Tianxiang opened his eyes.

That instant, Lu Xiaobu clearly saw a change in his gaze!

He had become the character!

This immediately skyrocketed Lu Xiaobu’s expectations!

Shan Tianxiang stood up, his eyes filled with worry, concern, iron-bloodedness, anger, and more!

At that moment, it was as if Ping’an County was right before him!

”Battalion commander, you motherf*****...”

Lu Xiaobu found Shan Tianxiang’s performance satisfactory.

After all, he only provided a section of the script; being able to interpret it to such an extent was already quite good!

Further refinements and deeper interpretation would surely be needed!

However!

Just as Lu Xiaobu felt approval.

Shan Tianxiang stopped, his gaze returned to normal, no longer in character.

”What’s wrong?”

Lu Xiaobu was startled; wasn’t it going quite well!

”It won’t do, no, I’m not right for this role,” Shan Tianxiang said with a wry smile, shaking his head: ”I’m far from enough. How about this, if you are really looking for someone, I can recommend someone to you. He has a military background, and will be more suitable for this role than I am!”

”Dad! You!”

Shan Tianxiang’s daughter was stunned!

Her father had gone mad!

Although she didn’t recognize Lu Xiaobu, from the scene just now, it was clear that he was definitely a wealthy and influential man!

Such a person asking her father to act in a play was definitely going to involve payment!

Why would one ever push away such a good opportunity!

Even with the family in such a state, he is still chasing those things; what on earth for!

She didn’t understand, but Lu Xiaobu’s attitude was completely opposite!

A surge of admiration for Shan Tianxiang welled up in his heart!

”Alright, you make the recommendation!” Lu Xiaobu also stood up and said.

”My old friend—Qiao Kong, like me, he has also been blacklisted, so if you really want to find him to act, you will probably need to put in some effort!”

Shan Tianxiang recommended earnestly.

”Good, I trust you, I’ll go find him now.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded and said.

”Then that’s settled! I can tell this show is really good, it’s a drama with a conscience, and I hope you can make it the best it can be!”

Shan Tianxiang instructed sincerely.

In that moment, there were no titles, just an actor deeply concerned about the current film and television market in Heavenly Dynasty making a plea to Lu Xiaobu!

”Okay! I guarantee it!” Lu Xiaobu also earnestly promised.

”I won’t see you out then, I will call Qiao Kong now,” said Shan Tianxiang, pulling out an ancient phone that had been used for who knows how many years.

”No need, come along with me! Even though you can’t play that role, I believe there are definitely roles in this drama that are suitable for you! And I also feel that my series must have someone like you in it!”

Lu Xiaobu said to Shan Tianxiang with a smile.

”What!”

Shan Tianxiang was stunned, looking blankly at Lu Xiaobu.

The fact was, the moment he recommended Qiao Kong, he had already given up on this amazing opportunity!

But, he really hadn’t expected that Lu Xiaobu would still want him now?!

”Not just you, those who were blacklisted with you back then, as long as they haven’t given up on acting, I want them too!”

Lu Xiaobu declared his intention with a broad gesture: ”If they can’t play the lead, let them play supporting roles, if not supporting roles, then extras; even if they can’t be cast in this drama, there are other dramas they can act in!”

”Really?!”

A look of immense excitement erupted in Shan Tianxiang’s eyes, and his hands began to tremble!

Didn’t he want to act again?!

He definitely did, if not, he wouldn’t be so serious about it!

Now, hearing Lu Xiaobu’s plan, he really felt a surge of overwhelming emotion!

Then with a mix of anticipation and worry, he asked, ”Is this really okay? If it was just one person, I believe you could have managed to get the ban lifted, but if you take us all, those film companies won’t let you off!”

What he said was the truth.

One person is manageable, after all, there’s still a need to save face for each other!

But if you were to take in a whole group, that would be blatantly slapping the faces of those thirty-two film companies!

That would amount to a confrontation with all the film companies in Heavenly Dynasty, even with the entire film and television market!

”Them? They don’t even register in my sight! My intention is to slap their faces! If needs be, I’ll overturn this whole sky!”

Lu Xiaobu stood there, his face neither sad nor happy, calmly stating this sentence!

And these calm words, in turn, ignited a spirit of boldness and moved Shan Tianxiang to tears!

”Alright! I, Shan Tianxiang, will follow you to the end!”

Shan Tianxiang gave Lu Xiaobu a deep bow.

This was a bow representing the actors!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t evade, accepting the bow directly!

By accepting this bow, he was also accepting this responsibility!

What is it but the film industry?

He had managed to pioneer the whole e-sports industry; he could certainly change the entire film industry!

Others don’t dare!

He dares!
