All He Had Left Was Money

For a film or television series to be truly well-made, a sufficient number of veteran actors are essential.

Only when these green leaves are in place can the red flowers truly shine.

For Wen Yishan, there are plenty of actors who can play the role of Linghu Chong. Eight out of ten popular young actors can play the lead role well.

Actors with formal training in film and television are best suited to playing roles like young heroes, which is related to their youthful and handsome appearance, as well as their life experience.

To truly elevate an acting performance beyond its superficiality requires a wealth of experience.

It's easy to find actors to play righteous characters, but it's difficult to find actors to play villains or characters with distinct personalities.

Otherwise, Wen Yishan wouldn't have been so eagerly waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to play Zuo Lengchan, while also having a headache over characters like Ren Woxing, Feng Qingyang, and Dongfang Bubai.

These are all exceptional individuals, each with their own unique temperament, some domineering, some aloof, and some possessing contrasting duality. The corresponding fight choreography gave Wen Yishan and the martial arts director a real headache.

Feng Qingyang's Dugu Nine Swords is a peerless martial art. They couldn't just casually swipe a few times with their swords, so they designated it as the Dugu Nine Swords, which no one could stop.

With the voices from above already made, they can't just make up the numbers with a blue light or a green light.

This requires not only skillful combat but also visual appeal, while also being difficult for ordinary people to execute, and even causing them to misunderstand and believe that the Dugu Nine Swords are exactly as depicted in movies and television.

Each requirement was like a knife held to Wen Yishan's neck.

The only thing Wen Yishan can be thankful for is that his films and television dramas have indeed attracted many big names.

For example, Zuo Teng, Luo Gaogao, Zhu Kuang, and others can quickly get the hang of their roles and have excellent skills, even performing more impressive routines than those provided by the martial arts instructors.

"I beg you to act for me for a few minutes. Just showing up and striking a pose is fine. I can find a stunt double to do all the action scenes!"

The person before him was undoubtedly the kind of person Wen Yishan envisioned.

No matter how powerful the other party is, as long as their boss's boss's father knows them, things will be easy to handle.

People in the same circle can always give each other a few minutes of face.

"I don't want to act, it's too embarrassing," Chang Kongluo refused.

"Acting isn't shameful," Wen Yishan said. "We live in a new era now. Acting isn't a low-class profession anymore. Our industry is perfectly respectable!"

"The elder didn't mean it that way," Zhu Haishan said. "He just felt he wasn't suited to appearing on screen in movies and TV shows."

"So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, as long as you act well, people will remember your characters in movies and TV shows, not your real name," Wen Yishan assured him. "Good actors are versatile; you may know he's acted in many films and TV shows, but you might not even know his name!"

"No, no!"

"I'll have the props team do your makeup, and then you can put on your costume. I guarantee your family won't recognize you!"

Wen Yishan made a solemn promise, and Zhu Haishan made a tentative invitation.

"I'm not helping these brats! Look how heartless they are! I still have miniature bombs here!"

Chang Kongluo shook his head, indicating that Zhu Haishan's invitation was also useless.

Given his current predicament, there's no reason for him to clean up the mess left by Chang Kongyinghao and the others.

The Swordsman production team can do whatever they want; he can't be Ren Woxing, and he doesn't want to be Feng Qingyang.

"You're right!" Zhu Haishan replied awkwardly.

The power struggles and preventative measures at the top have reached an almost minute level; given such treatment, Chang Kongluo clearly has no reason to participate or offer assistance.

For Chang Kongluo, the best-case scenario would be the collapse of Chang Kongyinghao and others.

What's with TV dramas like "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"? A good TV drama is one that's so bad it's easy to fool the public and no one will believe it.

If it weren't for Wen Yishan's pitiful state, caught in the middle of this media war and helplessly swept along by the tide, Chang Kongluo would have been happy to applaud the other side's failed filming.

"Elder, what brings you here for a stroll!"

It's not surprising that Wen Yishan came to the Zhang Household villa, since there had been a prior agreement.

But it was strange that Chang Kongluo came to the Zhang Household villa, after all, Chang Kongluo's status was on a completely different level from the Zhang Household's current status.

If it's difficult to compare someone of Chang Kongluo's rank with Zhang Xuezhou's family, it becomes clear when you put them side-by-side with a mayor and a typical citizen's family in a big city.

A mayor wouldn't visit the home of an ordinary citizen for no reason, and the ordinary citizen's home wouldn't have anything special to attract someone of the mayor's caliber.

He asked in a low voice, which inevitably brought back the first unfortunate event that had happened to Chang Kongluo.

You're really bringing up a sore spot! I have nothing to say to you!

Chang Kongluo responded listlessly. Apart from Zhu Haishan's awkward smile, Wen Yishan was muttering "perfect," "absolutely perfect," and "Dreamlike Breeze."

Everyone was looking for someone, and everyone was in a hurry, but they had no choice but to wait.

Later, a few more cars honked their horns in the distance outside the villa area, but they were unable to enter due to the special task force's interception.

"So many people are looking for you?"

Chang Kongluo glanced out the window and realized that he had left the old mansion at a bad time.

If Zhang Xuezhou is too busy, it will be difficult for him to get the Mental Strengthening content out of Zhang Xuezhou.

If he were to go to Ren Anran, there would be no way Chang Kongluo would be able to get Ren Anran to talk.

"I finally got to get out of the house for three days, and now I'm not even going to get a turn?"

Despite arriving the earliest, Chang Kongluo didn't have much confidence in himself.

Given Zhang Xuezhou's current indifference towards him, Chang Kongluo clearly understands that this kid is more astute than Zhu Haishan and isn't afraid of him at all.

After the initial brief shock, Zhang Xuezhou completely ignored him.

If Zhang Xuezhou tries to brush him off with the filming of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" a moment later, that would be perfectly normal.

"I need to make a trade with him," Chang Kongluo thought to himself. "Unfortunately, this guy's family Not Short of Money right now, while I only have money left. This is really a headache!"

As someone imprisoned in the twilight mansion, little remains of his power after it has been stripped away; all that's left are his account passwords.

Even if he were willing to contribute the Changkong family's Three-Star Combat Technique, they would still need to be suitable for individuals with the corresponding gene types.

"This is a headache!"

This was the most destitute time in Chang Kongluo's life; he had never encountered anything like this before.

Even when he served under Luo Zhong, Chang Kongluo never found himself in a situation where he was powerless, lacked time, or didn't have enough leverage.

At that time, he didn't need to stoop down and beg a young man.

But in his twilight years, he truly couldn't know how much longer he had to live. After death, everything would be meaningless. Correspondingly, seeing a beam of light in one's twilight years would be something every elderly person would hold onto tightly.

"Doesn't he need to eat?"

From morning to noon, and then to afternoon, as Zhu Haishan took out a nutrition bar and ate it, he couldn't help but see the light and shadow coming from the room.

A full day passed, but the shadow remained motionless, seemingly lying there the whole time.

This was difficult for him to understand.

He asked Chang Kongluo, who shook his head slightly.

The two had little to talk about, and the time passed agonizingly for both of them.

"Why don't you go ask him!"

Chang Kongluo's background was thoroughly investigated by Zhang Xuezhou, and he was even drawn into their scheme.

Wen Yishan was simply dismissed by Zhang Xuezhou.

Aside from Turkalando, who was fidgeting nervously and fidgeting with his fingers, Zhu Haishan was the only one in the villa who hadn't gone to invite him.

The Zhu family had fallen on hard times, and Zhu Haishan was known for his cautious and conservative nature.

If it weren't for the media battle that spilled over into film and television works, none of the major or minor events in Western Capital would have concerned the Zhu family.

Zhu Haishan tends to push things away if he can, and if he can't, he lets others do them, rarely expressing his own opinions.

Only now, exhausted and hungry to the point of no return, did a rare hint of dissatisfaction appear on his face.

This prompted Chang Kongluo to urge them on immediately.

716 didn't violate any rules, but it might have been acting strangely lately, encountering a sensitive word in the system (nobody knows what that sensitive word is), requiring manual review by an editor.
