883: A Challenging Condition

A Challenging Condition

Even though the studio planned for Those Beautiful Bygone Days to be an online film, Huo Yijing had turned it into a film that could be shown in theaters.1

A lot of netizens left comments saying that they were eager to see the film after watching the preview.

Before Xu Xiyan went back to the set, she went to Jinxi Studio to hand the new script to Lu Zeyan.

"This would definitely be a huge hit if we can make it! I'm sure of it," Lu Zeyan said excitedly after reading the script.

"Then you can proceed with it!" Xu Xiyan agreed. "Let me know if you need anything."

"Do you have any actors in mind to play the protagonist?" Lu Zeyan asked.

A very handsome face appeared in Xu Xiyan's face, but she quickly dismissed it.

"I'll leave that to you too," she said.

"All right. I'll contact you when I've decided who will take the role."

After Xu Xiyan had left, Lu Zeyan went through the script again and felt like the protagonist had huge similarities to Huo Yunshen.

They were both movie kings, both had disabilities, and they both fell into despair too.

It would be best if Huo Yunshen could play the role, but Lu Zeyan believed that it would be impossible, as he had already stepped down from acting.

What Lu Zeyan did not know was that the story was written for Huo Yunshen.

Lu Zeyan also hoped that his boss could take on the leading female role herself because the female protagonist was a perfect mirror of her.

Just as he was deciding on which actors he should invite for an audition, his assistant came rushing in and told him that someone had requested an audience with him.

Lu Zeyan told his assistant to bring the guest in and was surprised when Yi Xiao walked through the door.

He knew that Yi Xiao was Huo Yunshen's most trusted assistant, and his actions represented Huo Yunshen's intentions.

"Can I help you, Mr. Yi?" Lu Zeyan asked.

"Nice to meet you, Director Lu," Yi Xiao greeted and went straight to the point. "Did Mrs. Huo hand you a script today?"

"Yes."

"Have you found an actor to play the protagonist?"

"No, not yet."

"Then, may I ask, is our president suited for the role?"

"Wait, are you telling me… that Mr. Huo wants to take on the role?"

"Yes. Our president has volunteered to play the protagonist. If it's okay with you, then it's decided."

"Of course I'm okay with it!"

Lu Zeyan was very excited. Huo Yunshen was the first person that came to his mind when he was deciding, but he had to think of other actors because of Huo Yunshen's status.

He never thought that Huo Yunshen would volunteer for the job.

"But our president has two conditions," Yi Xiao said.

"What are they?"

"One is that you're to keep a secret that he's going to play the role. And two, Mrs. Huo has to take on the leading female role."

Lu Zeyan was almost thrown back by the near-impossible condition, but it did not mean that it was impossible.

"I'll do my best!"
