"Good." Yang Tongfang was worrying about how to report back, so seeing Xu Tian take the initiative to recommend candidates to him, he was naturally very happy.

"People brought by Xu Jingji definitely won't be a problem. I'll take them to Han Zhizuo to see right now."

Yang Tongfang walked up to the astrology girl and the others and asked: "Can you all sword dance?"

"What's difficult about sword dancing? It's all just flashy moves. It has no lethality if you really fight." The black-haired lolita answered with great disdain.

"This is a stage performance, not asking you to fight. Of course, it's all like this. But even so, all kinds of movements must be in place. You can't be soft and weak, like you haven't eaten."

Yang Tongfang raised his eyebrows, his intuition telling him that these women were not easy to communicate with. But he really couldn't find other suitable extras at the moment, so he could only let the three women recommended by Xu Tian try first.

Not to mention the sword dancing skills, just their looks alone were enough for these three to play the leads; at least they wouldn't be picked on by Han Zhizuo.

"How did you know we haven't eaten?" The astrology girl's eyes lit up, and she was the first to ask: "Did we just happen to catch the meal time? Where do we get the boxed lunch?"

Yang Tongfang: "..."

He turned his head to look at Xu Tian for help, thinking: Where on earth did Xu Jingji find these three gods? They simply don't understand human speech!

Xu Tian also rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, then said to the astrology girl and the others: "You'll have food if you perform well. If you don't obey orders, half of your performance pay will be deducted directly."

Upon hearing that money would be deducted, the astrology girl and the others immediately became much more obedient.

"Fine, we'll perform however you tell us to perform. Don't worry, we're all professionals." As she spoke, the astrology girl gave Xu Tian a thumbs up, making a gesture of "leave it to me."

Yang Tongfang: "..."

He always had a bad premonition that he might be scolded by Han Zhizuo again in a while. But anyway, being scolded was better than being fired directly.

So he took the astrology girl, the black-haired lolita, and the others toward the stage.

Han Zhizuo was already impatient under the stage. Seeing Yang Tongfang bring three women over, he looked them up and down, then nodded slightly: "The people you found this time have good appearances, I just don't know if they have real skills."

"What a joke, daring to question us." Han Zhizuo's questioning made the astrology girl very unhappy, so she patted the black-haired lolita's shoulder beside her and whispered: "In a while, let these bumpkins see what real strength is."

"No problem, leave it to me." The short-haired woman and the black-haired lolita nodded seriously.

Seeing that the three women were eager to try, Yang Tongfang only felt a headache.

He took three antique prop swords used for the performance and handed them to them one by one, then carefully instructed them: "The three of you go on stage in a while and follow the music to do the movements. You can improvise freely, but it's best if the three of you discuss the formation and movements to be a bit more uniform."

"Don't worry, in a while, I'll let you see what real swordsmanship is."

The three women confidently took the antique swords and leaped, jumping directly from under the stage onto the stage, leaving Yang Tongfang and Han Zhizuo dumbfounded.

"Hmm, the people you found this time are good." Han Zhizuo was stunned for a long time, then rarely patted Yang Tongfang's shoulder to praise him.

Yang Tongfang also breathed a sigh of relief. With such powerful skills, sword dancing shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Music department, get ready."

After the astrology girl and the three stood still on the stage, Han Zhizuo waved at the staff playing the music. Immediately after, a soul-stirring guzheng piece rang out.

Upon hearing the music, the three women immediately waved the antique swords in their hands, creating a flurry of sword flowers.

Yang Tongfang, who originally didn't hold much hope, immediately straightened his back and stared at the three women on the stage with wide eyes. Even Han Zhizuo, who was always demanding, appreciated the performance on stage without a word.

These three people cooperated tacitly, their movements were uniform, and every move and style had a sense of grandeur, completely different from the flashy sword dancing before.

After the song ended, the three women on stage stood still without changing their expressions or catching their breath. Then, the astrology girl was the first to speak and ask Yang Tongfang under the stage: "The performance is over, can we get the boxed lunch now?"

Yang Tongfang:...

Could people with such skills really be short of a boxed lunch?

He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

On the other side under the stage, Xu Tian's mouth twitched, thinking: These three women performed too hard. As supporting roles in a musical, they really stole the show.

They were so desperate for just five hundred yuan in wages, yet they had the nerve to tell him they only accepted big business deals over a million. Who on earth gave them such a misconception?

"Good! Very good! Very good!" After a long while, Han Zhizuo reacted and took the lead in applauding.

At the same time, the staff and actors of the musical crew who came to watch also applauded and cheered. After all, such a high-level sword dancing performance could not be seen at any time.

"Han Zhizuo, these people's performance is good, but doesn't this steal the show a bit?" The musical director reminded Han Zhizuo with some difficulty.

"Steal the show?"

Han Zhizuo raised his eyebrows, thought seriously, and then called the musical's screenwriter over.

"Just change the script. Give them a five-minute performance, and change the track from extras to supporting roles."

"Yes, I'll go change it now." The screenwriter was already accustomed to Han Zhizuo's frequent requests to change the script, so he immediately ran to the side with his laptop to delete and edit.

Because a five-minute sword dancing performance had to be added temporarily, other parts of the singing and plot had to be deleted and rectified. As the saying goes, one hair affects the whole body, so ordinary screenwriters would naturally be unwilling.

However, the screenwriter of this musical was an old acquaintance of Han Zhizuo, and the two often partnered, so they were already used to each other's work styles. At this time, there was no complaint about changing the script.

"Little Yang, where did you find these three talents? You were worrying and telling me there were no candidates before. If these three don't work, I'm afraid there won't be any suitable ones in the whole country."

Han Zhizuo was in a good mood and rarely joked with Yang Tongfang beside him.

"This is not my credit." Yang Tongfang smiled and scratched his head: "These three were recommended to me by Xu Jingji."

"So it was recommended by Xu Jingji." Han Zhizuo nodded to Xu Tian: "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's nothing, it's just a small effort." Xu Tian waved his hand modestly: "I happened to know them, so I wanted to recommend them to come and try to see if they could meet Han Zhizuo's requirements."
