After Wu Zixu finished shooting a scene, he was about to ask Liu Qing to help design an action for a supporting role, but he couldn't find him. A staff member told him that Liu Qing followed Assistant Director Niu not long after he left.
When Wu Zixu heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Qing wanted to do. Without saying a word, he rushed out of the crew in a hurry. The staff and actors next to him didn't know what had happened. Seeing the director in such a hurry, they followed him.
Liu Qing's thoughts were seen through by Wu Zixu. He looked embarrassed and said, "How could that be?"
Wu Zixu looked at him deeply, then turned to Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, welcome to the crew of Grandmaster."
Xiao Yunhai didn't expect Wu Zixu to be so polite. He quickly reached out to shake hands with Wu Zixu and said, "It should be said that I'm very grateful for Director Wu's appreciation for giving me an opportunity to audition. You're an elder, so you can just call me Yunhai. "
Wu Zixu laughed and said, "Well, I'll call you Yunhai from now on. I haven't seen your teacher for some years. Is he in good health? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and asked, "He's in good health. Director Wu, when can I audition? What kind of role will I play? "
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "You're quite impatient. Haha, you'll play a Xingyi Martial Arts master, who is also the teacher of the protagonist. You can familiarize yourself with the script first. As for the audition, let's arrange it tonight. What do you think? "
Niu Gong next to him listened to Wu Zixu's words with a look of surprise on his face. He had been with Wu Zixu for many years and knew Wu Zixu's unruly character well. Especially in the crew, he was even more unyielding.
He didn't expect that today he would speak to such a small supporting role so kindly and even ask for his opinion. This made Niu Gong feel very surprised. He looked at Xiao Yunhai carefully again.
Other staff members who knew Wu Zixu also felt that the young man who came today was not simple. The director seemed to attach great importance to him. If he could really succeed in the audition, they'd better make friends with him.
Nodding his head, Xiao Yunhai smiled. "The director has the highest authority in the production team. I'll do whatever you say."
Wu Zixu smiled, a satisfied look on his face.
The reason why he was so polite to Xiao Yunhai was mainly because of what Hong Tianchou had said when evaluating Xiao Yunhai. A mediocre price, top-notch acting skills, and a future Best Actor.
Wang Guoan and Sun Yanjun also called him and said a lot of good things about Xiao Yunhai.
This made Wu Zixu very curious. There were only two possibilities for an actor in his twenties to be jointly recommended by three big shots. One was that he was capable, and the other was that he had influence. Wang Guoan and the others were definitely not people who could be invited by money and power. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai should indeed have the strength.
When he first saw Xiao Yunhai's mature appearance and steady temperament, he felt that this guy was very close to the characters in the script. Therefore, he was very optimistic about him.
However, he was also a little nervous. Among the group of Guo Shu experts that he came in contact with, almost all of them had a fiery temper. If there was a disagreement, they would fight. Among them, Liu Qing was the most violent.
And Xiao Yunhai was young and full of vigor. Hearing from Old Hong that he had good martial arts, wouldn't he turn the production team upside down? Fortunately, the other party understood the rules of the production team and did not have the aura of being number one in the world. This made him feel a little relieved.
Liu Qing stared closely at Xiao Yunhai from the side, like a cat that had seen a mouse, and his eyes revealed an excited expression.
He knew that today's competition was definitely over. But as long as Xiao Yunhai could get the role, he still had a lot of opportunities to compete with him. Moreover, looking at Director Wu's expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Yunhai.
Although Xiao Yunhai's martial arts realm was much higher than Liu Qing's, being stared at by Liu Qing like this made his hair stand on end. If he was hostile towards him, Xiao Yunhai was not afraid of him. He would just beat him up and be done with it. But being stared at by a man like he was looking at a beauty, just thinking about it made him feel disgusted. Especially since he could not say anything.
Xiao Yunhai followed everyone to the production team. Wu Zixu asked Niu Gong to give Xiao Yunhai a script and started to busy himself with filming. He did not introduce the crew members to Xiao Yunhai, and Xiao Yunhai did not care. He knew that this was an unspoken rule of the production team. Before Xiao Yunhai got the role and truly joined the family, the director would not introduce him to the crew members.
Xiao Yunhai sat on the side and seriously looked at the script. Niu Gong only gave him the first half of the script. It ended when he was killed.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his role was not bad. His scenes were one of the best among the supporting roles. His character was called Wang Zi Feng. He was thirty-three years old and was the eldest disciple of the Xingyi Martial Arts Grandmaster. His martial arts were superb, and the student surpassed the master.
.....
Closing the script, Xiao Yunhai singled out the parts related to himself in his mind. The original body had a very strong memory, and after the two souls merged, he almost had a photographic memory. In addition, his scenes were mainly about fighting, and there were not many lines. Therefore, he only read it once and completely remembered it. Even if he were to go on stage now, he would not have any problems with the lines.
Just as Xiao Yunhai was studying the script, in a corner of the production team, five or six martial arts masters gathered together and pointed at Xiao Yunhai. The leader was an actor in his thirties with a strong back and a bear waist.
"Brother Huo, I've asked around. This is the kid who stole your role," a martial arts master said to Huo Gang.
"F * ck, this kid dares to steal Brother Huo's role. He's really bold."
"That's right. Not to mention anything else, Boss Xue spent a lot of effort and used a lot of connections to get Brother Huo to get this role. It was not easy to get the producer to agree, but this kid beat us to it. We, the Xue Family Troupe, must avenge him."
"Yes, why don't we do it tonight to avoid any more trouble? It's best if we beat him black and blue so that he can't shoot."
The martial arts masters talked non-stop. They were all trying to come up with a plan to deal with Xiao Yunhai.
Huo Gang was also very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunhai. He was the right-hand man of the action star Xue Ming. Since the day the Xue Family Troupe was established, Huo Gang had followed Xue Ming everywhere. He woke up earlier than a chicken, slept later than a dog, and did the most dangerous work.
Almost all of Xue Ming's action movies had Xue Ming's shadow. Xue Ming claimed that he never used a stunt double. That was pure nonsense and was only said to outsiders. As for those dangerous actions, even if Xue Ming was willing to do them, the director would never agree. If there was an accident, not only would it drag down the entire crew, but his fans would also be enough to deal with. Therefore, those dangerous actions were basically done by Huo Gang for him.
Xue Ming was also very good to this brother. He constantly promoted him. Whenever there was a chance, he would let him act in some roles to train his acting skills. At the same time, he would bring him to meet some directors. After a few years, he was considered to be a little famous in the circle.
This time, for the filming of Grandmaster, he got a small supporting role. Although it was only for a few minutes, to be able to act in Director Wu's movie, no matter how small the role was, to an actor, it was much more attractive than a typical supporting role in a movie. Not to mention other things, just the resume alone was much better.
After the filming started, he found out that the actor who played Wang Zifeng was in trouble. His heart was restless and he begged Xue Ming to help him get the role. Xue Ming also wanted to have a big star under him, so he went to find Wu Zixu. However, he was rejected by Wu Zixu.
Xue Ming did not give up and went to the producer's representative. After a lot of persuasion and gifts, the other party finally agreed to plead for him. But before he could say anything, Xiao Yunhai stepped in as a third party.
In the entertainment industry, blocking someone's future was like killing their parents. Especially for Huo Gang, who already saw the role as his, the resentment he had towards Xiao Yunhai was unimaginable.
However, he still knew his limits. If he recklessly made a move on Xiao Yunhai, once it happened, not only would he not be able to survive in the industry, but even Xue Ming would be implicated.
Therefore, he interrupted his brothers and said, "Don't do that. If you don't do it well, there will be a big problem. Let's not make a move first and wait and see. I heard that he needs an audition. Let's see the results first. "
Huo Gang's words were very effective in the Xue Family Troupe. Everyone nodded and agreed.
Xiao Yunhai was unaware of this and was still immersed in the role.
