92: What did you do to offend him?

"Director Yu, I hope you have been well." Li Xiuwu met with Yu Min.

"Haha, Xiuwu, long time no see." Yu Min shook Li Xiuwu's hand warmly.

When filming demi-gods and semi-devils, he felt Li Xiuwu's background wasn't simple, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

Moreover, he felt that Big Beard Zhang's recent trouble was inextricably linked to Li Xiuwu.

He had a good relationship with Big Beard Zhang, but they had only collaborated on two TV series, and he hadn't yet been tied to Big Beard Zhang's Jin Yong dramas.

Upon receiving the invitation from Golden Culture, Yu Min finished filming "Armed Special Police" and immediately came to Golden Culture to take over the preparations for flying immortal from beyond the heavens.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they talked about flying immortal from beyond the heavens, and Li Xiuwu listened to his report on the cast invitations.

Aside from the male and female leads being confirmed as Li Xiuwu and Liu Yifei, Wang Cheng let Yu Min choose all the other roles.

Yu Min was different from stubborn and serious Yu Mins like Zhou Xiaowen; when casting, he wanted to seek Wang Cheng's opinion and hear what Golden Culture had to say.

Who was Wang Cheng?

He didn't want to offer opinions on a TV series his boss was involved in; any suggestion he made would become his responsibility if problems arose. So he directly let Yu Min make the decisions, and for those he was really unsure about, he hinted for him to consult Li Xiuwu.

Yu Min immediately realized Li Xiuwu's status within Golden Culture.

He brought out all the intended roles: "Time is tight. Regarding casting, this is the arrangement."

"For Shangguan Haofeng, we've invited the actor Xiu Qing. The role of Fu Yuanbao is invited to be played by the newcomer Zhu Yawen."

"Cuiniang is cast as Jiang Xin, and the role of Xiang Xuehai will be played by Yan Danchen."

Yu Min spoke about the casting situation; the choices were mostly actors Li Xiuwu knew, and the roles suited their images.

"Yu Min, you can make the decisions on this. As long as it's for the good of the drama, I have no objections." Li Xiuwu listened briefly and felt they were all quite good.

Yu Min discussed some more production issues. Seeing that Li Xiuwu had no objections, he finally made the final call: script readings would start tomorrow, and filming would begin in five days.

As Li Xiuwu left the company and got into his car to head back, he suddenly started laughing.

"Everyone has their own complex schemes."

Ding Yan, Wang Cheng, and Yu Min all had their own thoughts.

Li Xiuwu didn't really mind; it's impossible for everyone to be the same, and everyone has their own ideas.

Even if they were loyal, they still had thoughts of climbing higher.

Entertainment companies were completely different from game companies. Researchers and technicians focused more on their studies, while in the entertainment industry, it was the opposite—most people thought about moving to higher positions.

Whether they were artists or behind-the-scenes staff, they all wanted to become the top existence, which was beyond reproach.

The next day, the actors of flying immortal from beyond the heavens met at the hotel.

"Brother, you are my real brother." Zhu Yawen walked toward Li Xiuwu exaggeratedly.

He had originally thought that playing Ning Caichen was the end of it. He didn't expect Golden Culture to let him play Fu Yuanbao in flying immortal from beyond the heavens. Although it was only the third male lead, it had more screen time than Ning Caichen and the character was more brilliant.

"Xiao Zhuzi, didn't you see I'm here too?" Liu Yifei stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Zhu Yawen.

This guy only had eyes for Li Xiuwu.

"Princess Sissi is here too. It's all because my brother's radiance is too dazzling." Zhu Yawen turned to Liu Yifei and greeted her with a smile.

"Hmph." Liu Yifei tilted her head up.

"Let's go, everyone is here." Li Xiuwu spoke. Even before entering, he already knew there were two beauties waiting for him inside.

[Detected top-tier cauldron Yan Danchen, Favorability 48]

"Wow, Sister Xinxin, and Senior Yan Danchen, Teacher Xiu Qing." An excited Liu Yifei immediately restrained her expression and greeted them.

Xiu Qing had actually coached Liu Yifei's acting, so she respected him very much.

"Hello, Xixi." Xiu Qing greeted her.

"Hello, Teacher Xiu Qing." Li Xiuwu walked in behind her, greeted everyone, and sat down.

Jiang Xin looked at him with something indiscernible in her eyes. Yan Danchen observed him curiously.

He was the top scholar of the college entrance examination and a legendary figure at the Beijing Film Academy. Although Yan Danchen was meeting him for the first time, he wasn't a stranger to her.

She had just participated in lotus lantern and become close with Shu Chang, who often talked about Li Xiuwu.

So she had always been curious about Li Xiuwu. Now that she saw him in person, he was very handsome and stylish; one look was enough to make someone feel favorable toward him.

As a newcomer, Zhu Yawen wasn't familiar with everyone, but as a student of the Acting Department, he was open and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

Zhao Jian walked in.

"Oh, it turns out we're all old acquaintances." Zhao Jian walked in, saw these familiar faces, and laughed. Except for Zhu Yawen, everyone else had collaborated with him.

Zhao Jian had just finished filming lotus lantern and originally wanted to rest for a while, but Yu Min showed up at his door with a crate of Baijiu, acting as if he'd drink himself to death at his house if he didn't agree.

Yu Min felt that since Zhao Jian had collaborated with Li Xiuwu twice, he was the perfect fit for the role of Zhao Jian.

"The Yu Min has gone to Hengdian to prepare for the start of filming. I will preside over the script reading. If there are no problems, let's begin." Zhao Jian took out the script.

"Yifei, this drama is quite a challenge for you." Zhao Jian looked at Liu Yifei.

The female lead, the Seventh Princess, was lively, mischievous, and loved playing pranks, which was very different from Liu Yifei's previous roles.

"I will work hard to play her well." Liu Yifei's eyes were sparkling; she wasn't afraid at all and was even looking forward to it.

The images she usually played were all acts. This female lead's personality was very similar to her real-life personality; she was also extroverted, lively, and even a bit quirky.

"Yes, if you play it well, you might be able to break your fairy filter." Zhao Jian nodded with a smile. On set, Liu Yifei was indeed quite lively.

"Yu Min, this character of hers is still a fairy, just lively and playful, not bad by nature. I think after filming, the fairy image will probably be even more firmly established." Jiang Xin spoke up at this point.

Everyone discussed the characters' personalities. Jiang Xin's character this time, Cuiniang, was spicy and straightforward.

The character Xiang Xuehai, whose name was inspired by pear blossoms and white snow, had a cold and detached personality, which suited Yan Danchen's image quite well.

For three days, everyone discussed the characters and plot together, clarifying the relationships between the characters.

The press conference for flying immortal from beyond the heavens opened. This time, Li Xiuwu and Liu Yifei were no longer newcomers; they had famous representative works, Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan.

Li Xiuwu also had a very widely spread song, wish you prosper.

The media interviewed them and reported extensively.

Seeing the news, Cai Yinong felt another pang of annoyance and slammed the table, cursing.

During the Chinese Paladin period, she had gotten some photos, but before she could act, Golden Culture had once again struck at a company, poaching many of her behind-the-scenes staff.

These were the foundation of a company. Li Guoli's new project, which was almost ready, was aborted.

Li Guoli naturally saw these reports as well. He sat in front of Cai Yinong, smoking.

"Where exactly did you offend Golden Culture? Regardless of whether we reconcile or not, we need to have a response."

Li Guoli was speechless regarding Golden Culture. They had struck time and time again. Was being rich really that great?
