Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 62 I am gifted!
"You really have never been involved in racing before?"

This is the second time Jay Chou has asked Sheng Yunxuan this question.

After knowing that Sheng Yunxuan could drift handsomely and had been recognized by the crew as a racing driver, Jay Chou took the initiative to come over and talk to Sheng Yunxuan.

Although the people from Taiwan speak in a "very strange" way, they still speak Mandarin. Compared with the Hong Kong people who stick together and speak Cantonese in the crew, it is actually easier for the two to communicate.

Besides, they were all young people, so they saw each other every time they were filming, so they naturally became familiar with each other...

In response to Zhou Jielun's question, Sheng Yunxuan could only evade him:

"Ahem, I'm gifted."

What else could he say?
His years of experience as a driver were a thing of his past life; he hadn't even bought a car in this lifetime. Could he just tell him he had a cheat code?

After hearing Sheng Yunxuan say that he was gifted, Zhou Jielun thought about it for a moment and actually believed it, and couldn't help showing some fascination.

Most men are more or less interested in something like racing that gets their adrenaline pumping.

Jay Chou is no exception, but he does not have the "simulator" golden finger like Sheng Yunxuan. Playing the role of Fujiwara Takumi does not mean that he will "turn the drainage ditch" from now on.

In fact, his driving skills are "bad but playful". He wanted to take part in the filming himself, but his skills were not up to standard. He had crashed his car three times during the filming period.

Even if it's not serious and no major problems have occurred, they can still use this as an excuse to promote the movie as a work that was made after Jay Chou crashed three cars.

However, several car crashes have more or less affected the crew's filming progress...

"I've always wanted to try drifting, and even asked a friend for tips, but I failed after two attempts..."

Zhou Jielun was talking beside him with great interest, and the topic never left the topic of racing skills. Sheng Yunxuan could only follow his lead and say:

"Then when I have the chance, I can teach you..."

Seeing that Sheng Yunxuan had indeed followed suit, Zhou Jielun immediately blurted out:
“You can teach me during the breaks in filming!”

Sheng Yunxuan was just being polite, but he didn't expect Zhou Jielun to be so "rude". His eyes twitched slightly and he said:
"Well, I don't have a car right now..."

This was the truth. Before, Sheng Yunxuan had been driving because the crew had hired a racing driver to take him for fun. Strictly speaking, he didn't even have a Japanese driver's license, so driving on the road was illegal!
The crew had to rent the car for filming, so they couldn't lend it to two people to fool around.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it!" Jay Chou said excitedly.

Yes, for Jay Chou who is at the peak of his career, someone can buy him a car with just a phone call.

Let alone a GTR, those luxury cars worth hundreds of millions are just rare big toys...

The crew informed Jay Chou that it was time for him to go on stage. He patted Sheng Yunxuan's shoulder affectionately before going over to join the filming.

After Jay Chou walked away, his agent Qin Qianrong, who had been standing nearby, came over and said in a deep voice:

"After all, he's Jay Chou. If you have a good relationship with him, he might be able to introduce you to some connections in the future. But if your personalities don't match, there's no need to force it. We don't need to beg anyone!"

Sheng Yunxuan couldn't help laughing when he heard that, then nodded.

Although he did not resist Qin Qianrong's instructions, to be honest, Sheng Yunxuan often felt that Qin Qianrong was raising him as his own son... Qin Qianrong paused for a moment, then continued:
"I've already personally taken care of everything on your end, and I've greeted everyone I should have. You shouldn't have any major problems on the crew."

"I plan to fly back the day after tomorrow. The company still needs me to help oversee its biggest project this year!"

Ciwen's focus this year is on the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" project, which will start filming in October in the second half of the year.

With such a huge investment and such a large crew, Ciwen’s family could not afford it alone, so she looked for some partners.

Manpower is needed in all aspects, including investment from all parties, project establishment, and crew deployment.

Before Qin Qianrong was transferred to Ciwen Oriental to manage artist finances, she was specifically responsible for film and television production. Therefore, it was natural that she was urgently transferred back to participate in the preparation of this project.

Qin Qianrong stayed in Japan until now because she was worried about Sheng Yunxuan staying here. Otherwise, she would have gone back at the company's urging.

Sheng Yunxuan nodded and said:
"Okay, sister, you go back. I can handle it here."

There is actually no deep-rooted conflict between Sheng Yunxuan and the group in Hong Kong Island. He is just an outsider who cannot fit in.

During the days that Qin Qianrong was on the crew, she was able to prove that Sheng Yunxuan had someone standing behind him, and no one wanted to provoke him.

Sheng Yunxuan was not a young man filming for the first time. Before signing the contract with Qin Qianrong, he had been working hard in the crew on his own and was doing very well.

But thinking that this time he was participating in the filming in a foreign country, Qin Qianrong couldn't help but worry a little more.

After pulling Sheng Yunxuan aside and repeatedly reminding him of some things, she said with some regret:
"When you finish filming this time, the company should also arrange an important role for you in The Return of the Condor Heroes..."

"It's a pity that you're still a little less famous. Even if the company wants to force you to play the leading role, it won't work."

Although Ciwen is the largest investor, the producer of this drama is Zhang Da Huzi, and the final decision on selecting actors has always been firmly in his hands.

Zhang Da Huzi, who is well versed in the art of hype, always comes up with some fancy tricks to create hype.

Therefore, the first factor he considers when choosing a leading actor is that the actor must be popular enough to be hyped!

The casting of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has not yet been confirmed.

The production crew announced they were "recruiting actors nationwide for the role of Little Dragon Girl." Director Yu Min, in an interview, said she was looking for a very famous female star from Hong Kong or Taiwan. Zhou Xun, who had just played Huang Rong two years prior, even went so far as to say he would "only play Little Dragon Girl."

But in fact, all this excitement was deliberately created by Zhang Da Huzi.

The candidate for the role of "Little Dragon Girl" has actually been decided long ago. It is Liu Tianxian. She has already started martial arts training and is even announcing that they are looking for someone.

After all, Zhang Da Huzi owns shares in Liu Tianxian's agency. If he doesn't support his own people, who else will he support?

Although the candidate for "Yang Guo" has not been finalized, the choice is still between Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming.

Qin Qianrong also knew that this time he couldn't force it, so he could only settle for the next best thing. He thought about choosing a role with more screen time in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" for Sheng Yunxuan to play first, and then try to find other opportunities...
