No one expected that Wesley would speak up for Xiao Bing. In fact, most people did not like Xiao Bing before this. But there were two people who objected the most. One of them was the chief producer, Scott, and the other was Wesley. Now when everyone suspected Xiao Bing, Wesley was the first to jump out.
Outside, Director Zhang Mouzi, Wesley, and an actor and an actress were walking in. They were all from this crew. When Xiao Bing and Tiger fought, they were also there.
The actor and the actress were in the crowd before, so Xiao Bing did not pay attention to them. Now when he looked at them, he found them familiar. They might not be big names, but they should have reached the level of second-tier actors.
Scott was also surprised to see Wesley speaking up for Xiao Bing. But after all, he and Wesley were big names from Hollywood. In terms of fame and status in Hollywood, the two of them were equal. They were both at the top, much more famous than Tiger. Although Scott was not very happy, it was not appropriate for him to argue with Wesley here. So he did not say much, but he could not hide the suspicion and distrust in his eyes.
Zhang Mouzi and Bi Tingting saw it. They both knew that it was useless to say anything to dispel everyone's doubts. Unless they really saw Xiao Bing's acting skills, it would be useless to say anything else.
The Cathaysian actors present had basically seen the video of Xiao Bing in the zoo. They were also amazed by Xiao Bing's kung fu and courage. This was another reason why they did not say anything. It was not only because of Bi Tingting's presence. After all, actors had to act. They did not doubt whether Xiao Bing could show his kung fu, but whether Xiao Bing had acting skills. This was also what Zhang Mouzi was suspecting now.
If Xiao Bing's acting skills were really bad, no matter how good his kung fu was, Zhang Mouzi would have to kick him out of the crew no matter how regretful he was.
After all, as the director of such a film, Zhang Mouzi had to be responsible for everyone. He also had to be responsible for the companies that invested in this film. So even if he had great power in the crew, he did not dare to act recklessly.
But for the time being, he still had to smooth things over. Zhang Mouzi said with a smile, "In fact, we do not doubt Xiao Bing. After all, no one in this world is born to act. And there are many people who have not received professional training, so this is normal."
Zhang Mouzi's words were spoken in Huaxia because most of the Huaxia people were present. A young man wearing glasses was standing next to the chief producer as a translator. He translated Zhang Mouzi's words from beginning to end.
They didn't trust Xiao Bing, but since Zhang Mouzi said so, they didn't refute. The chief producer, Scott, was very angry. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't look happy either. He said coldly, "Then let's start shooting now, shall we? I'd like to see how Mr. Xiao Bing acts. "
Scott was very unhappy. He thought that he would see how this man would make a fool of himself later. He wanted to see what Zhang Mouzi had to say, so that he could kick Xiao Bing out of the crew.
The other actors had the same mentality. They also lacked trust in Xiao Bing. Originally, the male lead of such a big investment should be a popular actor. It was not surprising that Zhang Mouzi chose an Internet celebrity. Moreover, this Internet celebrity was the owner of a noodle house. Although he did know kung fu, it was not enough to act!
The most important thing in acting was acting!
Zhang Mouzi was also very nervous about whether Xiao Bing's acting skills were good or not. In fact, even Bi Tingting was not sure.
Bi Tingting knew that Xiao Bing was very good at fighting and his kung fu was very good, but she had never seen his acting skills. This time, she insisted on recommending Xiao Bing to the crew. In fact, she was being willful. She wanted to bring her favorite man into the crew. At least for more than a month, the two of them would be together every day.
Zhang Mouzi clapped his hands and said, "That's it. Today, we will shoot the second act of the first scene. Liu Yue, you and Liu Hua will act together."
The young girl who had just walked in with Zhang Mouzi was stunned. A male actor came out of the crowd and asked curiously, "Director Zhang, shouldn't my scene with Liu Yue be in the afternoon? Shouldn't Xiao Bing and Liu Yue act together now? It should be the meeting between the male lead and the female lead, right? "
This Liu Yue was the actress who had seen Xiao Bing and Tiger fight before. Although she was not as beautiful as Bi Tingting, she was not bad. She belonged to the new generation in the entertainment industry. Although her status was not very high, she was already very famous and had a lot of potential in the future.
Liu Hua was the actor who spoke at this time.
Zhang Mouzi explained, "After all, Xiao Bing is a newcomer. You two act together first. Let him watch from the side and find a feeling. He is not a professional actor, so it is not so easy for him to get into character."
Hearing Zhang Mouzi's words, Liu Hua did not say anything more. In fact, this was a very normal thing. He just asked casually. He was about to agree, but he did not expect Xiao Bing to say directly, "It doesn't matter. Isn't the first act of the first act? I have already come here. Let me try."
Everyone looked at Xiao Bing as if they were looking at an idiot. They thought that Xiao Bing was too ungrateful. At least they understood that he was a newcomer, so they let him act later. However, this person was still stubborn. They did not admire him, but felt that this person's brain was not flexible enough. When the time came, he would definitely make a fool of himself.
Alas, they really did not know why Bi Tingting would recommend such a person. If he was kicked out of the crew, it would not be a big deal. But after all, it would be a slap in Bi Tingting's face and make her lose face.
Xiao Bing did not seem to notice the way everyone was looking at him. He did not know what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "If I can't do it, then let them do it first."
Zhang Mouzi was about to say something when Director Scott suddenly said, "I am afraid that acting is not so easy. This is such an important film. How can we give you so much time to study? If you can't do it, then directly ask you to leave the crew, and we will find another actor. "
Scott said in English. When the translator was about to translate, Xiao Bing waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, I can understand. Then please tell this old man that if you are not satisfied with my performance, I don't need to stay to study, and I don't need anyone to ask me to leave the crew. I will leave by myself."
Gao Shanshan, Zhang Mouzi and West were startled by Xiao Bing's words. Bi Tingting could not help but smile bitterly. They all thought that Xiao Bing should not have said this. There was no room for negotiation. But Xiao Bing had already said this. He was such a person, so there was nothing they could do.
Hearing Xiao Bing's words, the famous actors from Huaxia shook their heads. Young people were so impulsive. Scott's face softened a little. He thought to himself, "Anyway, as long as I can get rid of you, it does not matter whether you are famous or not. Our crew does not need young people who do not have acting skills."
Since things had come to this, it was useless to say more.
Zhang Mouzi said, "Let's go to the first scene first."
In the first scene, Xiao Bing and Liu Yue, the second female lead, met in the strong wind.
At this time, Zhang Mouzi asked the assistant director to arrange the extras. Liu Yue whispered to Xiao Bing, "I just saw your Tai Chi Kung Fu. It's really good."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Really? Thank you for your compliment."
Liu Yue smiled bitterly and said, "But you really should watch the show first. You have not acted even once. It is too difficult to satisfy everyone at the beginning."
Xiao Bing smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. I will do my best and leave it to fate."
Hearing Xiao Bing's words, Liu Yue did not continue to say anything. She felt a little regretful and sighed in her heart. Xiao Bing was too stubborn. The reason why she felt so regretful was that she was really conquered by Xiao Bing's beautiful Tai Chi Kung Fu. It would be a pity if he was kicked out of the crew in the end. If he watched a few more scenes and then found his own feeling, the hope of staying might be greater. But now … Alas.
At this time, some people were organizing the extras, and some were preparing the props. It was a sunny day today, but this scene needed a strong wind, so they needed high-power props to blow up the wind. All these needed to be arranged. Zhang Mouzi began to explain the scene, "This scene is like this. Xiao Bing, you are playing the successor of Tai Chi Kung Fu. But you are not a guru yet. You are just a poor boy who has just come to this bustling city from the countryside. Although you know Kung Fu, you don't know anything about this city."
"And you, Liu Yue, you are playing the second female lead, the daughter of a rich family. In this scene, you sneak out of your home with your maid and prepare to go to the temple to burn incense. As a result, in the strong wind, you meet the first male lead, played by Xiao Bing. The two of you only have one action. When you pass each other, you almost fall. He hugs you, and then your handkerchief is thrown away, and he picks it up."
"Xiao Bing, I trust Liu Yue. I believe there will be no problem with her. But you are different. Don't underestimate this scene. You have to show the feeling of being in the strong wind … And when you carry him, you have to be natural. Don't look too pretentious, understand? Alas, this scene only needs to be done by this morning. "
Xiao Bing nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
"Well, the preparations are almost done. Let's start now!"
All the actors and crew gathered around the camera. They wanted to see how this online celebrity, who had never acted before, would perform. According to their experience, as long as Xiao Bing was not at a loss, it would be fine, not to mention whether he could act well or not.
Unfortunately, sometimes there was such a kind of person in this world. If you wanted to see him make a fool of himself, he would slap you in the face and give you a big surprise!
