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

Deng Cheng and Wang Jing, who originally didn't have high expectations for the smooth transition of the Yidao Line, exchanged a glance and suddenly felt...

This Li Qing is a true actor.

"It's really unbelievable that he's only ever played one serious supporting role."

"I only played a supporting role once, and then you handpicked me to play the lead role."

"Doesn't this show that I have a discerning eye?" Deng Cheng said with a smile, a little smugly. Doesn't this make him look clever and resourceful?

If, if this time "The Best in Heaven and Earth" can be successful.

Deng Cheng guarantees that Li Qing's value will rise to a new level.

That's the performance.

"It's a pity he's from the Beijing entertainment circle, otherwise many movies could have cast him as a supporting actor," Deng Cheng said regretfully.

The film industry is different from the movie industry. The movie industry is more wary of hiring people. After all, if you use your own resources to build people from other circles, it's very unpleasant to end up doing the work for someone else.

"He's not part of the Beijing social circle."

"No?" Deng Cheng asked in surprise, "If not, why is Zhang Da Hu Zi taking such good care of him?"

He didn't believe in nonsense like Zhang Dahuzi mentoring young people.

Zhang Dahu is not that kind of person!

"A talented person will shine wherever they are," Wang Jing said with a smile.

"You mean he's good at feng shui and face reading?" Deng Cheng stroked his beard and suddenly realized.

"That's right. Who wouldn't want to bring good luck to their production team? Just look at how the trailer for Big Beard's 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' has generated a lot of discussion online, almost more than ever before."

"This Li Qing is truly a lucky general!"

Wang Jing's explanations became increasingly esoteric, and Deng Cheng believed them.

Jiang Yue doesn't really believe in this kind of thing, but that doesn't stop the producer and the boss from believing it.

Even putting all that aside, Jiang Yue felt that she admired Gui Haiyidao.

Not to mention the female lead getting into character, even she's starting to lose her sense of direction!

.....

The film set is still operating smoothly.

For Ye Xuan'er and the others, what they were seeing was astonishing.

Li Qing is acting like she's got a cheat code; she was clearly in a state of not understanding and having difficulty getting into character before.

Now he gets into character incredibly fast, and his acting... well, that's not acting, that's just him playing himself!

Although I know that all experiential learners are like this.

It's like Li Qing sometimes talks to thin air—yes, this experiential style is very pure.

In just a few days, he had already reached a level of consummate skill.

And when it comes to filming action scenes, he is undoubtedly excellent and handles them with ease.

Subsequently, due to scheduling conflicts, he had to first film the final episode with Cheng Shifei and Duan Tianya, including the final battle with Tie Dan Shen Hou.

Honestly, Li Qing almost burst out laughing when he saw Cheng Shifei's indestructible martial arts.

It really is the embodiment of "indestructible" evil, covered in gold paint.

Moreover, muscles really do regress if you don't improve them. It's only been two months since filming started, and Cheng Shifei's muscles have already turned into streaky pork.

Of course, it's not a big problem. Who says pork belly can't be indestructible?

Then, a small incident occurred: our destined male lead, Duan Tianya, broke his leg while filming on Tuesday, the 1st...

This caused many of the developments in Duan Tianya's storyline to become strange.

"What do we do? Our male lead has broken his leg."

Duan Tianya's assistant director asked Deng Cheng.

At this moment, Deng Cheng pondered for a while, and after a day and a night of hard work and discussion, he finally came up with a solution.

There are two options here.

One approach is to include more flashbacks during the editing process, allowing viewers to appreciate them repeatedly.

This will undoubtedly cause viewers to become bored, and is the worst of the worst.

As for the second one...

"Give Guihai more screen time; I think this character has more potential."

It's not that the character has more potential, but rather that the person playing the character has more potential.

Lia Peng, who was recuperating in the hospital, was practically vomiting blood.

How could someone be so unlucky?

The play was taken over directly, and there was no way to complain.

......

Duan Tianya's injury caused the entire production crew's schedule to be adjusted.

For someone like Li Qing who isn't in a rush, it doesn't matter.

But Ye Xuan'er isn't like that... Her schedule might not be that full. Right now, there's a conflict in the filming schedule, and adjustments need to be made.

Inside the resort, Deng Cheng personally came to ask Ye Xuan'er.

"Ye Xuan'er, you now have two choices. One is to continue filming as normal, but later on, we'll have to cut your scenes with Gui Haiyidao..."

Deng Cheng paused for a moment and then said, "Shangguan Haitang died in Guihai Yidao's arms."

Due to scheduling conflicts, there's nothing she can do. She has to finish writing "Haitang" (a character from a TV series), and she's rushing to her next film set.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan'er spoke.

"What's the second option?"

"Cut off some sections..."

"Director, I've thought it through. Let's cut some of the scenes with Duan Tianya."

Ye Xuan'er said decisively.

Since Duan Tianya already has entanglements with the Liu sisters, her role as Shangguan Haitang doesn't matter.

Deng Cheng shrugged.

"Then it's settled. I'll go revise the script."

Lia Peng, who received the news, was completely stunned.

What kind of situation is this?

It's one thing for the play to be cancelled for some reason, but the interactions between the male lead and the female lead also have to be cut?

The key point is that he couldn't refute it, since he was the one who was unlucky enough to fall and injure his foot.

In a short time, Lia Peng's body suffered from both external and internal injuries... and now he feels uncomfortable all over.

Lia Peng looked at his feet, which were wrapped in bandages, and cried.

"Why am I so unlucky?"

...

Back at the resort, the phone rang. When I answered it, it was my wretched agent.

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang said.

"Director Yu introduced you to an audition, you know about 'Ocean Heaven'?"

"Yes, Uncle Yu told me about this," Li Qing said.

"That's great, you're even calling him Uncle Yu, not bad at all."

Jiang Chenggang was quite happy. The most important thing in the entertainment industry—connections—had been secured. With that, he had everything he needed: "The date has been set, two weeks from now."

As he spoke, Jiang Chenggang mentioned that he now has two artists under his wing, both of whom were recruited from Hengdian and whose careers have already taken off.

Of course, he also promised that he would still focus on Li Qing.

After all, Li Qing was his treasure; ever since Li Qing came, his luck had completely changed.

Good fortune is shining upon them.

"Okay, I'll go to the audition."

"Aren't you going to ask about the salary?"

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "If I get selected, I don't care about the salary for this movie. I like the script."

"Hmph... You actually said that. Anyway, I've already quoted a price of 8 yuan. If The Return of the Condor Heroes airs, I can probably quote a higher price."

Given Li Qing's current resume, earning 8 yuan is certainly possible.

Jiang Chenggang didn't dare to report it as more than it should have.

After all, the Kung Fu Emperor only got one dollar. If you quote too high, what will people think? Besides, the total investment is only 500 million yuan.

Low-budget art films can't command high prices.

"I heard you have a lot of competition this time. Opportunities to act alongside the Kung Fu Emperor are rare, and this audition spot is precious."

"I know, I know. I'm going to have a couple of drinks with Uncle Yu tonight."

"Um..."
