Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 74 Wu Jing, New Skills (Please Collect and Recommend)

HD District, inside an office building.

This is the audition site for the crew of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier". There are quite a few people here. At a rough glance, there are at least ten people.

It is true that no one in Qi Hui's agency is interested in this script, but as Yang Siwei said, there is no shortage of people in the entertainment industry who want to move up.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, there are always people who want to give it a try.

Just like Wang Baoqiang who played in "Blind Well" and Huang Bo who played in "Crazy Stone".

Dangerous mines, smelly sewers, you can go down them at any time.

Qi Hui looked around and didn't recognize most of the people, but there were two people who looked familiar.

One is Gu Zhixin, originally Xiaozhuang. He was a student of the 00 class of the Central Academy of Drama. Qi Hui’s first impression of him was the young teacher in “The Young Comrades”.

Later, he appeared on a variety show and was a partner with Qian Feng from Hunan Satellite TV. They even wanted to call each other good brothers.

In fact, it’s almost the same. The two are classmates and have a good relationship.

Qian Feng worked with him in "The Young Comrades" and played the teacher's former good friend Xiao Zisheng.

However, later on, Xiao and Mao had different ambitions, and Xiao Zisheng even went to work under the captain of the transport team.

Back to the topic, Qian Feng got into trouble later and was accused of sexual assault. Qi Hui forgot how the case was handled, but Qian Feng's situation should not be very good.

As for the other acquaintance, Qi Hui was very familiar with Wu Jing.

In 03, he went south to Hong Kong Island, preparing to be the second Li Lianjie, but the result... was not ideal.

The entertainment industry has always been a place where background is important, not to mention that Hong Kong Island is a capitalist place.

Wu Jing had basically no good resources there except for playing some villains and supporting roles.

Although he has played the leading role, the response was not good and he never got popular.

I got beaten up a lot there, lived in a small apartment, and was even so lonely that I had to listen to Guo Degang's crosstalk to relieve my homesickness.

In 08, he was unwilling to be ordinary, so he directed and starred in the movie "Wolf Tooth", but it was crushed by Zhen Zidan's "Ip Man".

That would have been fine, but unfortunately the movie didn't do well at the box office and was a complete flop.

To make matters worse, it is.

If I remember correctly, Wu Jing worked with Duan Yihong on a movie called "The West Wind" during this period, which marked that he shifted his work focus back to the mainland.

It also marked the failure of the Kung Fu Boy's attempt to enter Hong Kong Island.

But then again... Qi Hui was puzzled. Didn't he take on the role of special forces in the second film "Knives Out"?

Why are you here now?
Qi Hui was looking at his competitors, and his competitors were also looking at Qi Hui.

As soon as they recognized Qi Hui, they couldn't help but think that this was not good. This was Xie Ruolin who had become very popular some time ago... To them, he was indeed a very popular person.

Xie Ruolin is quite popular on the Internet, especially the video edited by Qi Hui, which is talked about by netizens.

In addition, there is Qi Hui's heroic deeds of capturing the fugitive, and the trophy on the Magnolia.

And the most important thing is that among these people, those who can compare with Qi Hui in fame are not as young as Qi Hui; those who can compare with Qi Hui in youth are not as famous as Qi Hui.

But this role has to grow up from a recruit, so what is needed is youth.

Now, the competitors are a little nervous.

You're doing so well, why don't you go on shows or do commercial performances to make money, but come to snatch this small script from us?
Moreover, this guy has a short haircut, walks in a very orderly manner, and has a straight posture.

If they are not from the military, then they must have practiced before coming here.

Thinking of this, the competitors cursed and asked, "Why are you so competitive? What are you trying to do?"
Isn't that a bit bullying?
Beside him, Lao Ling said hello and went to another room.

The actor he was auditioning was a Wang Yanbing... no, it was Zheng Sanpao.

In the play, Zheng Sanpao is the squad leader of the protagonist Xiaozhuang, and the two have many rival scenes.

Soon, the auditions began.

Everyone lined up in order, waiting for the audition.

Wu Jing didn't know what he was thinking. He stepped back silently and quietly approached Qi Hui.

"Hello." He greeted.

"Hello, Brother Jing." Qi Hui smiled slightly: "I grew up watching your plays, especially "Tai Chi Master"..."

Hey~
Before he finished speaking, a system notification chimed in his mind. [Host, contact actor Wu Jing and receive a chance to enter a lottery. Do you want to enter now?]

Qi Hui's heart moved and he silently thought about the lottery.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Mastery of Spearmanship (First-level Warrior Level)]

Qi Hui raised his eyebrows and his eyes suddenly lit up. If he remembered correctly, this level should be second only to the Wuying level, right?
Holy crap, that’s awesome!
"Uh...haha, you have actually watched "Tai Chi Master"? " Wu Jing smiled awkwardly. He felt like an antique in front of Qi Hui.

I don’t have an advantage in age, fame, or even image... How can I compete?

Wu Jing felt that he might not be able to compete with this kid.

"Isn't Brother Jing good at martial arts movies? Why did you suddenly come to act in a military drama?" Qi Hui asked curiously.

Before traveling through time, he seemed to have seen a marketing account mention this matter, but... who would remember what the marketing account said?

Wu Jing curled his lips: "There are too many sissy guys nowadays, it's disgusting to look at!"

It's not just because of this, but also because he was shocked by the bravery of the soldiers and yearned for it.

Hearing this, Qi Hui nodded slightly, rolled his eyes, and asked, "If you don't get the leading male role in the audition, do you have any thoughts on playing a supporting role?"

After all, Lao Ling was auditioning for a supporting role, so Qi Hui asked in advance.

"No." Wu Jing shook his head, glanced at Qi Hui and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll find the problem and fix it."

He played supporting roles before he came back, and he still played supporting roles after he came back. So didn’t he come back in vain?
Moreover, he plays a supporting role in a TV series.

This is hard for him to accept, he has his own pride.

As time passed, Qi Hui asked Wu Jing about his experience in Hong Kong Island.

Wu Jing glanced at Qi Hui, began to speak slowly, and then... he couldn't stop talking.

At the beginning, they were somewhat restrained, only stating objective facts without mixing in personal comments, but then it turned into complaints.

Later, he just muttered a few curse words under his breath.

It can be seen that he is not doing very well in Hong Kong Island.

"There are only two of you left, come in together." At this time, a man stuck his head out and shouted.

Wu Jing and Qi Hui looked up and found that the people in front of them had already left.

They were so engrossed in their conversation just now that they didn't pay attention to the time.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hui and Wu Jing looked at each other and walked into the room.

There was a long table and three chairs in the room, with three people sitting on them.

The one on the far left is a fat guy with a crew cut. If I remember correctly, he should be the author of the original novel "The Last Bullet is Left to Me".

He is also the director of this drama.

Sitting in the middle is a thin middle-aged man, and on the far right is a man in military uniform.

Seeing Qi Hui and Wu Jing coming in, the three of them raised their heads and looked at Qi Hui at the same time.

But he didn't look at Wu Jing.

The reason is simple. Qi Hui has a straight figure and short hair. At first glance, he doesn't look like an actor, but more like a soldier.

As an actor, it is rare for him to cut his own hair, which shows his attitude and determination.

Moreover, Qi Hui's every move was full of military characteristics, and it was obvious that he had been trained.

Now, the three of them looked straight at Qi Hui. Among all the auditioners, Qi Hui performed the best.

"Okay, let's start the audition." Liu Meng laughed and asked his assistant to hand the script to Qi Hui and Wu Jing.

"Let's try the 33rd round." Liu Meng said, "It will start in 5 minutes."

This scene takes place during a military exercise, where Xiaozhuang disguises himself as an ordinary person and escapes from the dog-headed old man's encirclement.

In that scene, Xiaozhuang claimed to be a college student and presented his student ID card. Luckily, he escaped the pursuit and also cheated Goutou Laogao out of 100 yuan for travel expenses, becoming the hope of the entire company.

Qi Hui’s eyes lit up. Acting as a college student... I’m good at this!
