The plans regarding the filming of Wulin Universe were therefore settled. After discussing with Jiang Chi, Yu Xiao officially agreed to become the executive director of this drama.
Both sides were very satisfied with this collaboration.
Recently, Yu Xiao had been walking with a smug smile, as if she was afraid that others wouldn’t know that she had encountered something good.
“Director, you look very happy,” her assistant asked quietly.
At the moment, only the assistant and Yu Xiao knew about Wulin Universe. It had not been announced to the public yet, so the assistant spoke very softly.
Yu Xiao nodded with a smile. “Sort of. People are in high spirits when they’re happy.”
Any director would be happy to know that they didn’t have to worry about their filming budget.
This was also one of the conditions of the contract that Jiang Chi and Yu Xiao had agreed on. Murong Qiao would pay for the production costs herself. Not only was it a generous amount, but it would also save Yu Xiao the trouble of finding an investor.
“Just do whatever you want.” These were Jiang Chi’s original words.
He said it very confidently at that time, which made Yu Xiao understand a principle.
This production team didn’t lack money.
What could make a director happier than this?
No. Absolutely nothing.
Since the director had already been decided, the casting had to be put on the agenda.
“Just set the venue as the sixth floor. Also, I won’t show my face anymore,” Murong Qiao instructed Jiang Chi.
This time, Murong Qiao wanted to mainly choose the artistes in her company. She knew that one should not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others.
Although she was the author, the reason why she wouldn’t be attending was because she was afraid that her artistes would easily make a mistake in front of their boss.
Moreover, Murong Qiao had already decided on An Nuo as the female lead. This was also one of the conditions written in the contract with Yu Xiao.
“You don’t have to be biased during the casting,” Murong Qiao added.
Murong Qiao only wanted to use the home ground advantage to ensure that her company’s artistes could get a chance to audition. As for whether they could get this role, it would depend on their own ability.
The opportunity had already been given to everyone so Murong Qiao didn’t have to care about the rest of the work.
“Understood,” Jiang Chi responded and went out to make the arrangements.
The casting date for Wulin Universe was set for tomorrow. At the same time, he set up an official account on Weibo to announce this news.
“Am I seeing things? The director is Yu Xiao?”
“To be able to hire Yu Xiao as a director… I’m already looking forward to the plot.”
“Hiss, “Fearless” had just finished filming and another book is confirmed to be filmed. Moon Goddess is really impressive. Awesome!
The first people to notice and leave comments were mostly Moon Goddess’s fans and Fearless’s fans. In the past two days, Fearless’s publicity had been overwhelming. Money had been spent, and its popularity had risen rapidly.
Many people who came later were surprised. They didn’t expect that before Fearless ended, the filming for other book, Wulin Universe, had already begun.
Murong Qiao wasn’t too concerned about the casting, but she received a call from An Nuo.
“I’ve been chosen as the female lead!” An Nuo’s surprised tone came from the other end of the phone.
During this period of time, she had been practicing her acting skills from the acting teacher and had improved rapidly.
An Nuo was quite talented in acting actually. When Yu Xiao signed the contract previously, she thought that Murong Qiao wanted to make her artistes popular, but when she saw An Nuo and her performance during the casting selection, her eyes lit up.
Spirituality was Yu Xiao’s favorite quality in an actor, and An Nuo happened to have this.
“Congratulations.” Murong Qiao sincerely wished her well.
This matter couldn’t be separated from An Nuo’s own efforts. She absolutely deserved such a reward.
“I still feel like I’m dreaming…” An Nuo sighed and said in a relaxed tone.
Such a god-like debut was like a dream to An Nuo. She was still in university studying and suddenly, she obtained the chance of being the female lead.
Ordinary celebrities would only be able to play a supporting role after working hard for a few years so An Nuo could be considered to have reached the heavens in a single step.
Thinking of this, An Nuo couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“As expected, having a good sister is the most important thing.” She felt it deeply.
Murong Qiao nodded with a smile. She didn’t think much of it. It was just that An Nuo was good to her so she was just returning the love.
She originally wanted to talk to An Nuo about the character’s plot, but she heard some noise from An Nuo’s side. It seemed like someone was coming.
“Let’s not talk about it for now, Qiaoqiao. 1 have something to do here.” An Nuo’s voice sounded the next second.
Murong Qiao quickly responded and then heard An Nuo end the call in a hurry.
Murong Qiao was surprised by her eagerness.
The reason why the call ended was because there was a guest at An Nuo’s house.
“What are you doing here?” An Nuo’s face turned cold and her tone was unfriendly.
She had just sat down in the living room and called Murong Qiao to share her joy when she saw her cousin An Jia walk in.
An Nuo immediately felt that something was wrong, so she ended the call with Murong Qiao.
An Jia, on the other hand, was irritated by An Nuo’s attitude. The two of them had never gotten along in school and would always argue whenever they met.
“Where’s your father?” An Jia didn’t reply to her and asked directly.
An Nuo frowned and looked at her as she felt that there was something wrong with An Jia. “Why should I tell you?”
The two of them spoke very aggressively. They didn’t have a good impression of each other and their conversation was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
“An Jia!” A female voice came from behind An Jia, with a slight scolding tone.
An Nuo looked over and realized that it was An Jia’s mother, Wen Xueyi, and father, An Bei.
Unexpectedly, their entire family was here. An Nuo had a bad premonition, and her temples throbbed. She kept feeling that something bad would happen.
As expected, just as An Nuo had this thought, she heard Wen Xueyi speak.
“An Nuo, we’re here to talk to your father about something. Is he in the study?” Wen Xueyi’s tone was friendly.
If An Nuo didn’t know what kind of family they were, she would have been easily fooled by Wen Xueyi’s attitude.
“Yes.” Her basic etiquette towards her elders made An Nuo nod.
When Wen Xueyi heard the affirmative answer, joy appeared on her face. She secretly elbowed her husband, An Bei, and asked him to hurry up.
An Nuo’s father valued kinship the most. Every time they talked about their kinship, her father’s heart would soften and he would take out a large sum of money.
An Bei received the hint and was about to go upstairs when he saw a couple coming down the stairs.
“What a rare guest.” The voice was half-mocking as it reached An Nuo’s ears.
“Mom!” She immediately got up and pounced on her mother, Jiang Xia, who was coming downstairs.
Jiang Xia had the face of a classic beauty. Her figure was graceful and every step she took was so light, as if she was stepping on lotuses. She was so beautiful that it made one’s heart flutter. Just by standing there without saying anything, one could feel her elegant aura.
Her father, An Xinzhi, was standing at the side. When he saw An Nuo’s actions, he couldn’t help but laugh.
As for the cousin’s family, they panicked when they saw Jiang Xia appear.
They didn’t expect Jiang Xia to be at home. The words that they could easily say were stuck in their throats now, especially An Bei, who had just mustered his courage to go upstairs. When he saw Jiang Xia, he even shrank his neck.
“Are you guys in trouble again?” An Xinzhi sighed when he saw An Bei’s family.
In the past few years, An Xinzhi had helped their family a lot. He even gave them a sum of money every month, but even so, An Bei would still ask him for help from time to time.
After all, they were relatives, and An Xinzhi just couldn’t bear to see his brother on the streets..
