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

"The only job we can give you is as an assistant martial arts choreographer, with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan," Yu Jian said. "You're a good fighter, but being a good fighter and being a good fighter in a good way are two different things."

Master Yuan nodded.

Even if the three of them were tied together, they might not be able to defeat the young Taoist priest in front of them.

Okay, we definitely can't beat them.

But to be fair, even if we can't beat them, we still can't beat them.

Acting and being brave and fierce are two different things.

Acting is about acting well, acting realistically, and acting entertainingly.

"I understand. I'm already very grateful that the seniors are willing to give me this opportunity," Li Qingzhen said sincerely.

3000 yuan per month.

That's a salary that many people can only dream of.

"Hahaha, come on, let's drink! It's settled then," said Master Yuan heartily, beckoning Li Qing to drink.

Li Qing also personally poured wine for these seniors.

The youngest person present was Li Qing, and the second oldest, Yu Jian, was over forty years old, so it was inappropriate for them to pour the wine.

After pouring the wine, Li Qing began to savor the local cuisine.

Fish sauce from Panyanglou.

Life isn't just about making money and acting; it's also about eating and drinking.

Master Li accepts anything except beef.

"If I ever have the opportunity to act, I hope you seniors won't forget me. I really want to act."

Li Qing spoke frankly.

Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, Master Yuan also smiled.

They actually ate it.

You're quite the talker!

In the past, the younger generation would feel extremely uncomfortable after pouring the wine, fearing that they would be impolite.

This young Taoist priest, however, is entitled to food and drink.

The proper etiquette has been observed.

They weren't too reserved.

This easygoing nature also won over the three of them, including Master Yuan.

After all, in the entertainment industry, everyone is used to backstabbing and exchanging favors.

Occasionally, you might encounter someone who looks like a Taoist priest.

It's pretty good.

.....

If Li Qing didn't look like he was destined for acting, Master Yuan would have wanted to recruit him into the Yuan family troupe.

But with his looks and skills, he certainly wouldn't stop at just being a martial arts choreographer, so Master Yuan didn't ask for too much.

"However, your appearance and temperament do have a certain classical charm, which matches the temperament of some of the characters in the film I'm working on quite well."

"What role?"

"Isn't Lao Wang preparing to shoot a martial arts drama called 'The Best in Heaven and Earth'?"

"We'll give it a try then. Fatty Wang has some weird tastes, he might actually use you, a newcomer."

Anyway, when people drink and brag, who knows who's telling the truth and who's lying?

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they dispersed.

"I really like you, kid. You've got guts."

Yuan Baye casually placed his hand on Li Qing's shoulder.

"They have a kind of drive that young actors these days don't have. They compete, they like to use any means necessary, they like to hide it, they're afraid others will know they want to compete. It's pretentious and not genuine."

"You're different. You want to compete, you won't hide it, and you're not afraid of others knowing. You just want it, you just want to show it openly and honestly."

Li Qing thought to himself.

That is.

Being an actor, playing other people, can be considered a kind of worldly experience and spiritual practice.

Moreover.

The career ceiling of 208 million per day is a given.

It sounds rather vulgar, unbearably vulgar.

But it feels very real.

Li Qing also wants to earn 208 a day!

At this moment, Li Qing smiled.

"Who doesn't want to become famous and wealthy?"

"I like your personality."

.........

After finishing this meal.

Li Qing also felt dizzy.

Back when I was in the Taoist temple, I always said that I was going to leave the monastery and go down the mountain to do something.

Become an actor.

Because they have money, because they like it, and because it can bring them fame and fortune.

These are probably the reasons.

Back at Chiang Kai-shek's house.

"What? You've become the martial arts choreographer's assistant on 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"

When Jiang Chenggang heard Li Qing say this, he was even more excited than Li Qing herself: "Then you've truly stepped into the entertainment industry!"

People like Jiang Chenggang aren't even part of this circle.

They can only be described as hyenas on the fringes.

You can only pick up what others don't want.

This is the assistant choreographer.

She is an assistant.

Those are people from the film crew, people in the industry, people who can get on the end credits.

And don't underestimate him just because he's only a martial arts choreographer and assistant choreographer.

Many action stars started as action choreographers.

Yuan Tian, ​​Zhang Jin, Zhao Wenzhuo, Li Jie...

Both Master Yuan and Jiang Chenggang share a common understanding.

That's Li Qing; he's definitely not someone who's willing to be a martial arts choreographer.

Becoming an assistant to the action choreographer is just a stepping stone.

"If you want to become an action star, you need to build a good relationship with Master Yuen and his team. Their resources in the martial arts action film industry are unmatched by most people..."

"oh..."

Looking at the Taoist priest before him, Jiang Chenggang made a decision.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

This group leader position is better off not being held.

.....

I'll be reporting to the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes next week.

"There's a scene with a guest actor today, are you going?"

"I won't go today."

Li Qing lay in bed.

It's not that I'm being negligent; it's just that playing a guest actor doesn't really increase my knowledge.

Li Qing was catching up on "An Actor Prepares" in bed.

There are many ways to hone acting skills, from self-taught methods to formal training, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

For example, mainland Chinese actors with formal training can be incredibly immersed in serious dramas, but when they act in more unconventional storylines, they become stiff and reserved, and they struggle to get into character when dealing with mundane family matters.

Conversely, actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan's TVB are less formal and have more of a down-to-earth feel. They are better at portraying ordinary people, but when they play high-ranking leaders or even historical figures, there is an awkward feeling.

It's not about which is better or worse, but rather that they are two different styles, both serving the purpose of acting and the market. Some people like serious dramas, while others prefer the more down-to-earth style.

Of course, there is another way of acting that combines the advantages of academic and everyday experience. This way of training acting skills is not something that everyone can grasp. It is called immersion acting, which involves putting oneself into the role.

"It seems that acting is no easier than practicing martial arts or learning feng shui."

Li Qing felt somewhat emotional.

Every line of work has its own difficulties.

of course.

The entertainment industry is really lucrative.

Even the martial arts assistant I personally appointed earns three thousand yuan a month, although this depends on how long the filming takes, and it won't be filmed all year round.

But you should know that the salary of a civil servant in Yunshan County is only about a thousand yuan, so a martial arts instructor assistant earning three thousand yuan a month is already a very high salary.

That's quite an achievement.
