Take a Look at My Wild and Unrestrained Bearing
Zhu Tianci was the first elderly person to be killed in Western Capital. Consequently, the Zhu family declined very early and lacked influence in Western Capital, and the industries they were involved in were not important.
Zhu Haishan, the head of the Zhu family, rarely expressed his opinions at the succession meetings and was very low-key in his conduct and work.
Zhu Haishan, in turn, lacks any air of superiority and is more like a disillusioned middle-aged man.
Upon suddenly seeing Chang Kongluo, this menacing figure, Zhu Haishan felt almost the same way Zhang Xuezhou at first—he nearly exploded with rage.
He somewhat regretted using his special authority; if he had asked more questions, he wouldn't have ended up in this embarrassing situation.
Chang Kongluo opened the villa door, and a girl was following beside him.
The little girl isn't the point; the point is why Chang Kongluo, who was imprisoned in the old mansion, was released.
Tiger's old power still lingers, so for a second-generation power holder like Zhu Haishan, they would naturally be inferior to a senior high-ranking figure like Chang Kongluo.
It's normal for Chang Kongluo to scold him as if he were his son.
"You're inside, so I... we..."
Zhu Haishan hesitated and stammered when he opened his mouth.
He couldn't afford to offend Chang Kongluo, whether it was the possibility of the other party returning to the Sequence Committee and regaining power, or the Gene Fighting Technique.
However, the Zhu family has recently been given a strict order by the Sequence Committee to participate in this public opinion war between Western Capital and other provinces and cities.
This is a battle we must win.
Winning wouldn't bring any particular benefits, but losing would lead to internal strife and the loss of the privileges of the Western Capital Lineage. It's not impossible that a civil war would break out among the hundreds of large and medium-sized Lineage in the Scarlet Alliance State.
Not to mention the Zhu family, even Lineage like the Chang Kong Lineage and the Zhou family would find it difficult to protect themselves in such turmoil.
Even if Zhu Haishan were willing to give up his interests in film and television, he would still have to go through all the trouble for this, and it has even come to the point where he has to personally intervene.
"What are you guys?" Chang Kongluo asked casually.
"I... we just want to join the queue," Zhu Haishan said in a low voice. "The captain of the winning team at that sequencing conference agreed to be a character actor, and we've been waiting for him for seven days!"
"An actor? You actually cast him as an actor?" Chang Kongluo asked in surprise, "Is your film and television base so short-staffed that you can't do without him?"
"You know I never concern myself with those things except taking the money!"
Zhu Haishan scratched his head and then kicked Wen Yishan again.
"This... that's something Young Master Zhang promised us to act in," Wen Yishan said cautiously. "The filming schedule is tight, and it's difficult for us to find suitable replacements right now."
If Zhu Haishan is this scared, Wen Yishan isn't much better off.
But he managed to calm himself down and give an explanation.
Western Capital is known for having many important figures. Even a young person strolling on the street might be a member of a certain Lineage, or someone who controls the discourse in a certain Lineage.
In response, Wen Yishan spoke honestly, mentioning the various difficulties he faced during filming.
His face showed signs of exhaustion, and he had lost more than ten kilograms in just over twenty days.
"Swordsman Film and Television Team, then your filming schedule definitely needs to be sped up a bit," Chang Kongluo pondered for a few seconds and said, "The time it takes for public opinion to ferment, reach its peak, and then subside and form a fixed opinion is only one to three months. After that, it's very difficult to change. The best time to handle it is about one month. The sooner it's handled, the better!"
"You're right," Wen Yishan replied in a low voice, "I only have a few days left to finish this!"
"What role does Little Zhang play?" Chang Kongluo asked with great interest.
"He previously played a minor role called Hou Renying, and that role has already ended," Wen Yishan honestly replied. "But during filming, we discovered that he was very suitable for playing some fierce characters, so we specially invited Zhang Shao to play the well-known character Zuo Lengchan from the book..."
"Wait, him, Zuo Lengchan?"
Chang Kongluo had never paid attention to movies or novels before, but he was indeed very bored while confined to the Twilight Mansion. After being recommended by Zhang Xuezhou and others, he also read the book "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
He thought about Zhang Xuezhou's 'focused' state at that moment, and then about the image of Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, and felt that this was completely unrelated.
Moreover, he didn't see anything particularly fierce about Zhang Xuezhou.
"Are you sure he can play Zuo Lengchan well?" Chang Kong asked, somewhat doubtfully. "In the book, Zuo Lengchan is a ruthless person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Such a character must appear healthy and cheerful on the outside, but be ruthless and vicious on the inside. This..."
"He's a perfect match!"
Wen Yishan simply imagined Zhang Xuezhou's angry expression and felt that Zhang Xuezhou had a healthy face, a fierce look when angry, and the speed at which he could change his expression was enough to perfectly portray Zuo Lengchan.
Of course, if Zhang Xuezhou's menacing aura could last longer, the other party would be a good candidate to play the role of Ren Woxing.
"If he can fit in, then wouldn't I be able to easily play the role of Ren Woxing?"
Chang Kong, in distress, comes to understand Zuo Lengchan, played by Zhang Xuezhou.
He mentioned it casually.
This is a character that Chang Kongluo greatly admires in the book.
Perhaps it resonated with his own miserable circumstances, and since Ren Woxing eventually escaped from the underground of West Lake and regained control of the Sun Moon Sect, Chang Kongluo had experienced similar things to Ren Woxing, and he also had similar aspirations in his heart, so it was no wonder that he liked the character of Ren Woxing.
"I didn't expect you to be familiar with our TV series," Wen Yishan said. "But you look so venerable, how could you possibly be suitable to play a villain like Ren Woxing? You..."
"I'm a devil! Look at my wild and untamed aura, I feel incredibly domineering!"
When Wen Yishan mentioned that he didn't have the temperament of Ren Woxing, Chang Kongluo couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
His strength was among the top in the Scarlet Alliance State, and he was once the highest authority, but his fate was almost exactly the same as Ren Woxing's. If such similar lives don't correspond to each other's temperament, then who else can have temperament?
As the figure in his mind, Chang Kongluo felt that he was the second Ren Woxing.
He had no intention of going to the film crew to play Ren Woxing, but he felt somewhat aggrieved by being rejected.
"You... you're amazing! You're exactly the Feng Qingyang I've always dreamed of!"
Chang Kongluo stood with his hands behind his back. Wen Yishan didn't see any arrogance or domineering aura in him, but he felt that Chang Kongluo's ethereal and otherworldly temperament overlapped with a certain impression in his mind.
Feng Qingyang is an unparalleled master, possessing martial arts skills that can be considered the pinnacle of the martial arts world. Correspondingly, such a person cannot be portrayed simply by growing white hair and putting on a white beard.
But from Chang Kongluo, Wen Yishan could directly sense the other's unparalleled aura.
He raised his head and stared at it for a long time.
After more than ten seconds, he realized that the image of the other person was constantly matching another image in his mind.
If you remove the other person's long, gray beard, dye their hair black, give them a document, dress them in formal attire, and have them stand on the podium, then you've replaced them with a completely different person.
He was a top-level figure of real power who only occasionally appeared in the news, the leader of the Scarlet Alliance State, and the rotating chairman of the committee.
Chang Kongluo doesn't appear on television very often; he's a behind-the-scenes decision-maker, and most of his pronouncements are made by mouthpieces from the Ministry of the Interior.
Appearance on camera is only required in certain situations.
"Wonderful! You have a very similar temperament to our Chairman. No wonder you have the aura of Feng Qingyang!"
Although there were special vehicles and personnel outside the villa, Wen Yishan felt that what was in front of him was not Chang Kongluo, but just some big shot in Western Capital who was similar to Chang Kongluo.
He felt that a person of such high rank as the chairman of a national committee would not be interested in a novel, let alone be familiar with the characters in it.
The person in front of me has a certain status, but not so high as to be like Chang Kongluo.
This prompted him to extend an extremely enthusiastic invitation, and he even nudged Zhu Haishan, asking him to put in a good word so that this staged film and television production could be completed as soon as possible.
Chapter 712 is under review. Actually, as you saw in Chapter 711 yesterday, it didn't involve anything. It should be unblocked around 9 PM normally.
