Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 107: Going out to invest

Liu Jing was helping Xixi tie her hair, and the people on the judges' bench could no longer sit still.

"Lao Zhang, who is this? We are auditioning, why are there foreign players?" The person asking the question was a representative of the investor.

There are two representatives, one male and one female. This one is the female representative.

"Yes, and there is that beautiful lady at the back, who is she?" This is director Zhou Xiaowen.

"Director Zhang, I wanted to ask this just now." The male representative was also curious.

"He is Liu Jing, the child star who almost won an Oscar. I am going to spread the news and invite him to play Duan Yu. Of course, it's not a real role, but just to hype up his popularity." The bearded man explained, glanced at Sister Li behind him, and continued to explain, "The one behind is Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei's mother. Does Qinshi Capital know about it? She is one of the shareholders."

"Qinshi Capital?" The female representative's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Does she want to invest in our play?"

"She...she...she said she wanted to take a look." The bearded man was dumbfounded, hoping he wouldn't be exposed.

“Haha, then let her take a good look.” The female representative was very happy. She was worrying about the budget of “Tian Long” when suddenly an investor came to visit.

They naturally have no shortage of investment channels, but who wouldn't want to get to know an investment company like Qinshi Capital? No investor dares to guarantee that they will never be short of money in their lifetime. The more people like them are, the more they need money.

"You know what, I think Liu Jing is quite suitable to play Duan Yu. He seems to be only in his teens, but he doesn't look childish, and he does have a kind of elegance." Director Zhou Xiaowen suddenly said.

"No, he's too short. Didn't you see that he is much shorter than Liu Yifei when they stand together?" Director Ju Jueliang shook his head quickly. What should Jimmy Lin do if this guy plays Duan Yu?

"The height difference between actors is easy to deal with. Don't you have such shooting techniques in Hong Kong?" Zhou Xiaowen asked doubtfully.

"Okay, okay, I've tied my hair." The bearded man had a headache. These two were going to argue again.

Liu Jing sat back down, and Xixi clasped her fists and saluted, "Director, I'm ready."

"Let's start." Director Zhou Xiaowen glanced at the bearded man, wondering what role he had assigned to him.

Experts look at the details, while laymen just watch the excitement. Several directors cannot be considered experts, but they have learned a lot about Tai Chi from what they have seen and heard.

As he started, everyone watching nodded secretly.

The wild horse spreads its mane, the white crane spreads its wings, the knees are hugged and the steps are twisted,..., the turn around and block the punch, as if sealed and closed, cross hands, and finally a beautiful ending.

One move after another was incredibly smooth and carried a subtle charm.

"Good!" Director Zhou Xiaowen was the first to applaud and couldn't help asking, "Can you show us some swordplay?"

The bearded man frowned and wanted to say that the time was up, but everyone was in high spirits so he didn't know what to say.

"But there are no swords here." Xixi looked around. This was an office, only a few dozen square meters in size, and the furnishings were clearly visible.

"I'll get it." Zhou Xiaowen quickly got up and ran out happily.

Liu Jing and Sister Li talked quietly, "This director is good. I misunderstood him before."

"What? You know him? Does he have any bad habits?" Sister Li was alert. If the director had any quirks, she would keep her daughter away from him no matter what.

"You've heard of his name, but you're overthinking it. We have never dealt with each other." Liu Jing shook his head, not wanting to explain too much.

This director directed "The Legend of Lu Buwei" last year, and Liu Jing almost smashed the TV after watching it.

Zhang Tielin plays Lü Buwei, and Liu Jing is very annoying. This is also one of the reasons why the crew treated him so rudely.

Lao Ai, played by Gao Yalin, is even more unbearable to watch.

Zhao Ji, played by Ning Jing, looks good, but she has absolutely no such charm.

Later it was said that the script was suspected of plagiarism, and Liu Jing even ridiculed it on the Internet.

"You two almost had a relationship. He once wanted to invite you to play the young Ying Zheng, but the pay was too low, so I refused." Sister Li said in a low voice.

"..." Liu Jing was stunned. I don't need to act to play the role of Ying Zheng. No one is more suitable than me. How many roles have you rejected for me in those years? He seemed to see bubbles evaporating out of thin air.

"I heard that he plays the role of a sweeping monk in the play." Sister Li shared gossip.

"The directors have nothing to do, so he plays the sweeping monk and the bearded man plays Xiao Yuanshan." Liu Jing complained. He thought the bearded man should play the South China Sea Crocodile God.

"Gao Hu was chosen to play Xu Zhu by Zhou Xiaowen," Sister Li continued to share.

"Sissi's performance impressed the director. Maybe I can get this role even without a big beard."

"It's useless. The director has no power in a crew with big beards. Apart from filming, everything else is just decoration." Sister Li smiled. She already had an idea. She could get the role even without the big beard.

Zhou Xiaowen ran out quickly and came back quickly, holding a prop sword and handed it to Xixi.

"Thank you." Xixi thanked her, turning her wrist and the sword dancing along with it. She was testing the sword.

After figuring out the sword's movements, she thrust it out with a serious expression, and there was actually a sound of wind.

If everyone was just surprised by the Tai Chi just now, then everyone was shocked by Sissi's swordsmanship.

With a sword in Sissi's hand, they felt like they were facing thousands of troops, and each of them looked awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Sissi was no longer a little girl in their eyes, but a female general. "Director, my performance is over." Sissi's forehead was covered with sweat, but she was in high spirits.

"Good swordsmanship." Ju Jueliang shouted, and this time he applauded first.

Several others followed suit and applauded. The female representative even said, "Mr. Zhang, this actress must stay. I think she is suitable for the role of Wang Yuyan."

"Wang Yuyan doesn't know martial arts." The bearded man said quietly.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. Why are you performing so well? I can't oppose you openly. If you really take down Wang Yuyan, how can I benefit from it?

He was even more annoyed. If he had known that this girl was so capable, he should have agreed to Sister Li without hesitation. What was the point of mentioning Yan Danchen and saying that it was difficult? It would not be as good as before to do a favor.

"Wang Yuyan doesn't know martial arts, but when she explains martial arts, she shines with a kind of brilliance. I just saw that kind of brilliance on this girl. When Liu Yifei picked up the sword, it seemed that she didn't care about the whole world. Her master must be amazing. I must get to know him if I have the chance." Zhou Xiaowen was full of admiration, and then looked at the bearded man, "Old Zhang, if I vote, I will vote for her."

"I voted for her, too." Ju Jueliang suddenly slammed the table, looking excited, "Look at this photo, if she doesn't play Wang Yuyan, who will play Wang Yuyan?"

The others didn't care about Sissi anymore and came over one by one, "Oh my god, it's true. This kid looks like a different person in ancient costume."

"I vote too. It has to be her. This is the Fairy Sister."

"We were just having a headache choosing the right person for Wang Yuyan, and now she's been brought to our doorstep." Ju Jueliang said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaowen was even more blunt, "Xu Jinglei doesn't look like a fairy, Huang Yi is too ugly, Jiang Qinqin is too old, Fan Bingbing is too coquettish, Zhang Ziyi is too mean, Zhao Yanzi is too shrewd, and Dong Jie doesn't have the right temperament. None of them are suitable. As for Koreans like Song Hye Kyo and Kim Hee Sun, how can they understand our Chinese culture? When they put on ancient costumes, they don't look like fairies, but like ladies from a small country."

"But Liu Yifei is auditioning for the role of Ah Zhu." The bearded man was speechless, he felt that the benefits that were about to be obtained were about to be lost.

The male representative also felt that something was wrong and quickly said, "We still have Yan Danchen. Liu Yifei is good, but she is too young."

"What's wrong with being young? Wang Yuyan wanted to find someone younger anyway." Zhou Xiaowen disagreed and confronted the investor.

"That's right. When Wang Yuyan appeared in the book, she was about 17 or 18 years old, about the same age as Liu Yifei." Ju Jueliang agreed.

"She just took the college entrance examination and doesn't know anything about acting." The male representative did not give up. If everyone agreed, he alone would be powerless.

"Hey! How do you know that he doesn't understand acting?" Zhou Xiaowen retorted.

"Yes, besides, does Wang Yuyan need acting skills?" Ju Jueliang followed.

The male representative was speechless. Hidden rules are hidden rules and cannot be made public. He couldn't tell everyone directly that Yan Danchen was introduced by our company.

Zhou Xiaowen gave his old enemy a kind smile, and Ju Jueliang spat. His smile was really disgusting.

The bearded man sighed secretly. It seemed that Liu Yifei's role as Wang Yuyan could not be stopped. He did not want to be a villain. Since the deal could not be reached, he would just fulfill this favor.

He was weighing the pros and cons in his mind and was about to make a decision. Liu Jing was listening nearby and coughed twice, "Directors, the interviewee is still here. Should you let her leave first and then call the next one?"

It was getting late, and Liu Jing was waiting to finish the audition quickly so that he could carefully investigate the subjects he had marked.

"Um! Okay, next one." Zhou Xiaowen, as the host, shouted directly.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you guys continue." The female representative left a message and hurried out.

"Thank you." Xixi left politely.

"I'm going to go out for a while." Sister Li followed her out. She was worried about leaving the girl alone outside. As for auditions, she had long been tired of watching them. There was no interest at all.

"Are you going to the toilet too?" Liu Jing was surprised.

"I'm going out to invest..."

"..."

"Hello, teachers. My name is Liu Tao..." The next actor came in and introduced himself.

Liu Jing paused his writing, looked up, and muttered to himself, "Isn't this person currently filming Return of the Condor Heroes? Whose relationship is this? Was he introduced by Qiong Yao? Probably not, Qiong Yao is not that free."

The filming location of "Return of the Pearl" is next to "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Gao Yuanyuan often went there with Jia Jingwen, and Liu Jing also went there once. I still remember Liu Tao, not because she was beautiful, but because her last name was Liu.

As for the person with the same surname, Liu Jing gave an appraisal when he met him for the first time, so he was not at all worried this time.

[Explanation: When a person is in trouble, add more salt; when a horse is stuck in the mud, whip it again. Marry a man for his money, not his heart; marry a woman for her beauty, but rather her virtue.]

This was the last system description. Liu Jing cursed the damn system four times in a row.

"The acting is good, not suitable for Wang Yuyan, but quite suitable for Azhu." Liu Jing muttered.

The role that Liu Tao auditioned for was Wang Yuyan. Apparently the director also discovered this problem and asked her to try out the role of Ah Zhu.

"Okay, good, next one." Zhou Xiaowen and the bearded man whispered for a few words before shouting.

Actors come one after another, each one is beautiful, but there is nothing special about them that makes people look at them differently.

Liu Jing gradually felt bored, so he picked up the script and started reading it, reading ten lines at a glance and flipping through the pages very quickly.

"Director, I'm Jiang Xin..."
