This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

Yu Jian is the director, although Zhang Dahuzi is the one in charge.

But this arrow carries considerable weight, and also serves as a choreography instruction.

He was the second most important person in the crew, and in some matters, he even had more say than Zhang Dahuzi.

So enthusiastic towards a complete stranger.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the main character, Yang Guo, played by Huang Xiaoming, a contracted artist with the Warsaw Pact."

"Hello, Brother Xiaoming."

"Hello." Huang Xiaoming smiled crookedly, with a hint of wickedness.

"This is Liu Yifei."

"Hello, Sister Liu."

"Hello." Liu Yifei chuckled. "I might be older than you."

Li Qing felt as if she were listening to a clear mountain spring, fresh and pure, rising from the mud unsullied.

It looks a lot like a waterfall in the mountains.

"Chen Zihan".

"Hello, Sister Chen Zihan."

"Yes, let's cooperate more in the future." Chen Zihan's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, neither enthusiastic nor unfamiliar, showing a somewhat reserved nature.

"This is Yang Mi."

"Hello, Yang Mi."

"Hello." Yang Mi looked at Li Qing's Taoist-style hair: "Your hair is even longer than mine."

His eyes were a little dazed, yet also a little clever and defiant.

Down a small bottle of wine.

Yu Jian said.

"Don't underestimate this brother of ours, he's a real fighter, he can take down ten people in just three sentences."

"Really?"

Huang Xiaoming smiled wickedly: "Then I'll have a chance to see for myself. I've always admired you guys for your amazing martial arts skills."

"Brother Xiaoming, can you stop getting so into character? I know you're very dedicated," Yang Mi said from the side.

"Hehehe, hehehehe..."

Since filming "The Emperor's Reign," Xiaoming has been experiencing some aftereffects.

Li Qing smiled.

"It's not that we can't demonstrate this, but the space here is cramped, making it difficult to demonstrate."

Yu Jian thought about how Li Qing's swordplay had sobered him up last time, and he was worried that Li Qing might ruin his drinking mood this time. He then patted Li Qing on the shoulder and laughed.

"Let's skip the sword and gun action today. In short, there will be plenty of opportunities to demonstrate in the same crew. This is our action director assistant, who has joined our crew to contribute to our action scenes."

"Come on, let's have a drink."

"Today is my first day here, so let me offer you all a cup of wine." Li Qing tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp: "Cheers!"

Everyone showed relative friendliness, and Li Qing naturally had to reciprocate this kindness.

Although everyone's motivations and starting points are different.

Those of us in this circle have a certain level of discernment.

After all, in their eyes, Li Qing...

An assistant for directing; this position is unimportant.

However, he was handpicked by Yu Jian.

This is very important.

......

Nowadays.

There was one person who didn't attend the film crew's drinking party.

The key figure in the production team.

Zhang the Beard.

He was in the hotel, smoking one cigarette after another and drinking one glass of wine after another, with stacks of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" next to him, the original novel that he had already worn out from reading it so many times.

The main character of tonight's gathering, Zhang Dahuzi, didn't show up; he was just thinking about something in his hotel room.

Yu Jian, carrying a bottle of 1982 Lafite, knocked on Zhang Da Hu Zi's door.

"Old Zhang, it's me, Yu Jian."

"Aww."

Zhang Da Huzi opened the door for Yu Jian.

Upon entering, Yu Jian observed Zhang Da Hu Zi's haggard and troubled appearance.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhang? Are you struggling with choosing a role?"

"Yes, some supporting roles haven't been cast yet."

Actually, some supporting roles haven't been decided yet.

Generally speaking, supporting characters are not as important as the main characters, but some characters still need to play a decisive role.

Zhang Da Hu Zi is currently agonizing over this issue.

A supporting character who may not seem that important, but is actually quite crucial in the drama.

What kind of person and what kind of feeling should be used to perform it?

What kind of feeling do we need to portray?

What kind of effect do we want to create?

Different actors give different performances, in terms of appearance, temperament, and acting skills.

Even the most versatile actor cannot perfectly portray every role.

It's like you can't just have Michelle Chen play a schoolgirl.

No way.

Yu Jian didn't disturb Zhang Dahuzi's role selection.

The reason why Zhang Dahuzi's films are so good is that he manages to strike a balance between capital transactions and the choice of roles.

He will not refuse to let capital pour people in.

But they will make choices and find a balance.

They also strive for excellence, studying the original texts again and again.

Yu Jian didn't say anything, but kept talking about the young man named Li Qing at the dinner party.

This wasn't the first time Zhang Dahuzi had heard Yu Jian mention him.

"Speaking of which, it's unusual to see you so attentive to a newcomer today." Zhang Dahuzi and Yu Jian are very familiar with each other, so he doesn't hold back when saying these things.

"This newcomer is really quite good."

Yu Jian thought for a moment about how to describe him: "He's quite good at fighting, good-looking, knows how to get along with people without being pedantic or overly obsequious, and maintains a comfortable distance from others... very reassuring."

Zhang Da Huzi listened to the description and thought it was at least quite good.

"Oh...he's a promising newcomer."

"I do really like this young man."

Zhang Dahuzi was curious; he had never heard Yu Jian praise a young man like this before.

This piqued Zhang Da Huzi's interest as well.

Ah, man, you've successfully caught my attention.

Zhang Da Huzi suddenly said.

"Shall we look at his resume?"

"What, are you interested?"

Yu Jian joked, "I came from a self-taught background, and the biggest role I've ever taken on was as a featured extra."

"Um..."

Zhang Da Huzi then touched his big beard again.

This resume is basically that of an ordinary person.

It is precisely because they have trained amateurs.

I only realized then that training an amateur is not a simple matter.

The advantage lies in the natural talent of amateurs portraying everyday life.

"Let's take a look."

Anyway, even if I take a look, I might not actually use it.

Even if someone is employed, they may not necessarily play an important role.

It must be pretty good that Yu Jian keeps mentioning it.

"for you."

After looking at the resume, Zhang Da Huzi was somewhat surprised.

Assistant to the action director.

Its main characteristic is that it is very good at fighting, extremely good at fighting, and exceptionally good at fighting.

One against ten, even though they were just thugs, it still couldn't hide his prowess.

Most importantly, he was a genuine Taoist priest.

True Taoist priest!

"This is what a real Taoist priest looks like..."

I can see what Li Qing looks like through the photo.

He had long black hair, looked somewhat lazy, and was holding a thermos cup filled with goji berries and a book titled "On the Self-Cultivation of an Actor".

This photo, taken by Yu Jian, shows Li Qing at her most relaxed during a meal.

When I saw Li Qing.

I don't know why.

Zhang Da Huzi had a vague idea brewing in his mind.

How about we give him a try for the role of Yin Zhiping?
