Chapter 597: Chapter 595: Where the Sword Points, Invincible [2nd Update]

Lu Xiaobu walked out of Shan Tianxiang’s house.

Shan Tianxiang followed right behind him!

Meanwhile, Shan Tianxiang’s daughter sat at home, staring blankly at the scene, feeling something strange. Her father seemed to have suddenly become much younger at that moment!

It was as if he had returned to his younger days from over a decade ago!

...

Shan Tianxiang took Lu Xiaobu to find Qiao Kong.

Indeed, just as Shan Tianxiang had said, Qiao Kong’s performance was indeed better than Shan Tianxiang’s!

Lu Xiaobu was satisfied and made a decision on the spot: "You’re the one!"

Of course, Qiao Kong also expressed the same doubt as Shan Tianxiang.

However, this time, there was no need for Lu Xiaobu to respond, as Shan Tianxiang took the initiative to explain!

And so, the role of Li Yunlong was decided.

At that moment, Lu Xiaobu said to Zhang Benhu: "Alright, gather your people and get ready to start work!"

"Young Master Bu, is this really okay?! I’ve already caused you enough trouble, and if my issues were to..."

Zhang Benhu expressed his concerns.

He couldn’t believe how much influence their relationship could have on Lu Xiaobu if it was seen by others.

"That’s my problem, you don’t need to worry about it."

Lu Xiaobu spoke indifferently: "Carry out the order!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Benhu immediately cast aside all his worries!

Carry out the order!

Liang Lan listened to all of this, feeling that she roughly understood what Lu Xiaobu was planning!

Young Master was racing against time!

Taking advantage of the current backlash against the Korean wave, and while everyone’s focus had not yet returned to Young Master himself, he wanted to get this TV drama out quickly!

By then, they could solidify the identities of Zhang Benhu and his peers!

If done well, this could even turn a bad situation into a good one!

Therefore, she didn’t dare to delay, quickly setting out with Chen Feiyang to prepare everything needed in advance.

Location, costumes, props, and so on and so forth!

If they were to start preparing only when Young Master needed them, she would be out of a job!

...

At this moment, the news of Lu Xiaobu hiring these blacklisted veteran actors had spread.

For the general public, this wasn’t an issue, nor something they cared about at the moment.

They were still busy denouncing Korea!

However, it caused a massive uproar among those thirty-two film and television companies!

"Lu Xiaobu, you’ve gone too far!"

The head of one film and television company slammed down on the table, his face livid with anger!

What did this mean?!

The blacklisting decided upon by their united thirty-two film and television companies, you, Lu Xiaobu decide to hire and unban just like that, not even bothering to give notice!

Who did you think you are?!

If you got away with this, where would that leave the dignity of their film and television companies?!

The heads of other film and television companies obviously shared the same sentiment.

Therefore, a high-level meeting was quickly convened!

"What do you all think about this matter?"

"What else can we think? This Lu Xiaobu is courting death! Does he really think the film and television industry is that easy to navigate? Thinking that just because he made ’A Chinese Odyssey’ and won a Golden Fire Award, he understands how simple this industry is?! Ridiculous!"

"So we go after him? Show him what we’re made of?"

"Of course, this Lu Xiaobu really is asking for it, with a ton of troubles already on his back! The Lin Family, Xia Jie, Zhan Longyan, and now he’s even actively seeking out more trouble for himself! Seeking death!"

"No question about it, let’s take him down!"

"Just wait, once his TV drama has been scheduled, I’ll arrange to shoot another drama and have it released at the same time! Let’s show him what’s what!"

"Psh! Is all this trouble necessary? Do you think his TV drama will even get released?! He’s dead meat already!"

"Anyway, regardless of what’s said! It’s settled! Let’s set aside our differences for now, join forces, and teach this arrogant and ignorant lad who really calls the shots in the film and television industry!"

"Join forces? Do we even need to go to such lengths?! You all are giving this kid way too much credit! I think once this trend blows over, we just need to communicate with Xia Jie and the others to get rid of him directly!"

"I agree! By the time he finishes making his TV drama, it’ll be outdated!"

"Being cautious is still better! After all, Lu Xiaobu has created too many miracles! We can’t let our guard down!"

"Miracles? Him being alive now is a miracle! He’s creating miracles?!"

"..."

This meeting was filled with disdain for Lu Xiaobu, with utter contempt for his current actions!

In their eyes, Lu Xiaobu’s behavior was like a monkey walking a tightrope over fire,

With the tightrope already about to snap.

And what does the monkey do? It finds a way to carry a huge mountain on its back.

Are you asking for death?!

But perhaps they have forgotten, there’s a type of monkey known as—Great Sage Equalling Heaven!

...

Back to Lu Xiaobu’s perspective.

While Liang Lan and the others were still preparing, Lu Xiaobu had already started eagerly!

As he put it, film while preparing!

Now, it’s all about beating the clock!

All the actors were in place!

The extras were all the small-time thugs under Zhang Benhu!

Standing on the stage of the so-called opening ceremony, Lu Xiaobu looked down at the crowd and said, "You’re probably all aware of the situation I’m in!"

"And you’re clear about your own situation!"

"To put it bluntly, this is a do-or-die fight. If I lose, some of you will have to go back to being blacklisted and live that banned life again!"

At this point, Lu Xiaobu looked towards Shan Tianxiang and the rest of the actors.

The actors were all clenching their fists, grinding their teeth tightly—indeed, a do-or-die fight!

"Even some of you might lose your lives!" Lu Xiaobu shifted his gaze to Zhang Benhu, and those thuggish extras!

Zhang Benhu gnashed his teeth and nodded.

"So, don’t give me any bullshit! Just one word—do it!" Lu Xiaobu’s final words echoed, "Using a line from our drama, it goes..."

"Even if we are outnumbered by the enemy, even if we are surrounded, we dare to unsheathe our swords, we dare to fight until the last man. In a nutshell, when the narrow path is met, the brave emerges victorious!"

"The spirit of Bright Sword is the soul of our army. Wherever our sword points, we shall prevail!"

Lu Xiaobu uttered these words!

"When the narrow path is met, the brave emerges victorious! Wherever our sword points, we shall prevail!"

Everyone at the scene hysterically chanted these words!

Exactly! Young Master Bu is right!

These words not only addressed the drama but also their current situation!

It’s time to unsheathe the swords!

Fight!

Chen Feiyang was dumbfounded on the side!

Damn, having directed so many dramas, this was the first time he saw a cast fully immersed even before filming!

Saying the drama produced in this state won’t be good is utter nonsense, it will definitely be amazing!

After all, they are now an eagerly howling ’army’!

Young Master Bu is truly a god among men!!

Impressed! Truly impressed! Actually, I was already impressed before, but now, I’m doubly impressed!

Completely awed!!!
