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

While I was eating fried chicken and singing, I was suddenly slapped in the face.

Wang Baoqiang watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused.

Do you still eat fried chicken?

"I'm not eating it anymore, I'm throwing it away now."

"Then let's not waste food." Wang Baoqiang held out his hand: "Give it to us."

Looking at the fried chicken in his hand, Jiang Chenggang felt a little sad and hesitated.

"Won't this be too high in calories? Fried chicken. Don't you guys who work out avoid this kind of stuff?"

"What do you think I was doing just now?"

"Sit-ups."

"So, why do you think I can eat fried chicken?"

Wang Baoqiang smiled as he accepted the fried chicken from Jiang Chenggang.

Here you go.

Old Chiang was crying—

But suddenly I felt motivated.

Am I so good at body shape that I can get beautiful women to take pictures of me?

Old Jiang suddenly felt a surge of energy.

It's true that becoming handsome makes you more popular.

I want to become handsome too!

"Once I get in shape, I'm going to be a heartthrob..."

"Heh." Wang Baoqiang, who was eating fried chicken, looked at Jiang Chenggang and chuckled.

Next time will definitely be the next time.

At that moment, Jiang Chenggang received a phone call, and his eyes lit up.

Let's not talk about fried chicken and fitness anymore; we can talk about those things later.

"Filmmakers have come to us."

Jiang Chenggang was very excited: "It's the first time I've ever met someone from the film industry."

"Hey, didn't Brother Li go to play Ximen Chuixue? Isn't that a movie?" Wang Baoqiang asked in confusion.

"That's a digital movie, which is different from theatrical movies shown on the big screen. When we talk about movies, we usually mean theatrical movies. Digital movies, on the other hand, are not shown in theaters but are broadcast on CCTV6 Movie Channel."

"This is not the same as making movies on the big screen. This is a director who actually makes movies on the big screen."

...

The next day, Jiang Chenggang was still sighing.

"Ye Xiao."

Wang Baoqiang asked in confusion.

"What movies has Ye Xiao acted in?"

Wang Baoqiang didn't understand these things as well as Jiang Chenggang.

Jiang Chenggang said.

"A filmmaker who is very good at making police and gangster action films. He has previously made films such as 'The White Dragon Swordsman,' 'Explosive Cop,' and 'Mongkok Story.'"

"If he really does make police action movies, that would be a good fit for your style."

"oh!"

Wang Baoqiang's eyes lit up.

Since experiencing the thrill of being the lead actor, Wang Baoqiang has fallen in love with the feeling of acting.

Although he didn't know whether his film "Blind Mountain" would ever be released...

"People are asking about plums, don't overthink it."

"If Brother Li can eat meat, then we can have some soup too, right?" Wang Baoqiang said with a simple smile.

"That's right."

Jiang Chenggang said this.

Li Qing just has such good luck with acting roles.

At this time, Jiang Chenggang had arranged to meet Ye Xiao at a local tea restaurant.

Upon arriving at the tea restaurant, Jiang Chenggang, dressed in a blue suit and carrying a small shoulder bag, exuded the air of a Hong Kong businessman from the last century.

"Hey, hello, Brother Ye, I'm Jiang Chenggang from 'Qinggang' Studio."

Jiang Chenggang extended both hands to shake hands with Ye Xiao.

This is a middle-aged man who wears glasses and looks somewhat refined.

He doesn't look like the kind of man who can make explosive, visceral police and gangster films.

"Hello there."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, looking around at the surroundings: "I didn't expect that there would be such an authentic tea restaurant in the capital."

"Haha, I happened to have eaten here before and thought it was pretty good, so I brought my husband here. As long as the taste is just right, that's fine."

Jiang Chenggang remained unmoved.

Actually, this tea restaurant was specifically chosen to suit the tastes of people on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, he didn't say that he specifically sought them out.

This is Jiang Chenggang's philosophy of life.

Ye Xiao felt as if she were bathed in a spring breeze, savoring the taste of home.

They've already won over the first wave of goodwill.

"Alright, let's get down to business. We're currently preparing to shoot a police action movie, starring Donnie Yen, along with a bunch of action stars like Yuen Kam-po."

Jiang Chenggang's breath hitched. Hearing Master Zhen and Yuan Jinbao's names, he knew this movie was definitely not simple.

Action stars gather.

Forget about being the protagonist... In fact, Jiang Chenggang never even considered being the protagonist.

Li Qing is really no good.

This isn't a question of whether they're a good match or not.

Even if Ye Xiao was bewitched and someone wanted to make a young man who had only played supporting roles in TV dramas play the lead role on the big screen.

Even if investors think you're Ye Xiao, they still have to withdraw their investment... unless you're on par with Zhang Yimou.

Moreover, there is only one Zhang Yimou in the industry.

"I have a role here that your Li Qing can audition for."

Ye Xiao laid it all out plainly.

"In this movie called 'SPL,' Yuen Kam-po plays a villainous bodyguard who has to fight Donnie Yen."

It was precisely because of the scenes where Ye Xiao confronted Donnie Yen that he personally came to find the role.

This character doesn't appear in many scenes, but is absolutely important.

Actually, he had a few candidates in mind for this role.

Talking to Jiang Chenggang now is just adding another candidate.

We'll only know how it goes during the audition.

Only then can we know who is the most suitable person for this role.

Ye Xiao put a lot of effort into this drama, striving to make it the most perfect.

Especially for the action scenes, a skilled actor is needed to act opposite Master Donnie Yen.

Moreover, his presence here also has a personal element to it.

I'm very curious about this actor who has been repeatedly mentioned by Zhang Dahuzi and Director Deng.

Can he fight? How good is he?

Of course, it's also possible that it's an exaggeration.

After all, Zhang Da Hu Zi is also known as Zhang Da Zui Zi (Big Mouth Zhang), and who knows how much of what he says is true or false? Deng Cheng, on the other hand, thinks he's quite reliable.

I just don't know if he's as good at fighting as Wu Jing or Zhao Wenzhuo.

"No problem, Director Ye. I'll tell our artists that I'll toast you first." Jiang Chenggang downed a glass of wine first.

Then they chatted for a while.

Jiang Chenggang's words made Ye Xiao feel comfortable.

Before meeting Li Qing, Ye Xiao met this agent first, and the agent made a very good impression on him.

Knowing he's from Hong Kong Island, finding this "authentic" hometown flavor is no easy task.

Ye Xiaocai didn't believe that this was a "coincidence" for Jiang Chenggang.

This wasn't his first time in Beijing. Many places here have flavors similar to those in Beijing, rather than those in Hong Kong. It's hard to find something this authentic without looking carefully.

Jiang Chenggang didn't say he put his heart into it, but Ye Xiao might not be unaware of it.

On the contrary, Ye Xiao felt more comfortable when he didn't say anything.

"Cheers."

Before they knew it, Ye Xiao and Jiang Chenggang had drunk two more glasses of wine.
