Sure enough.

The one-sentence introduction on the cover of the project book clearly states, The Republic of China’s version of The Shocking Thieves.

But after flipping through it, he discovered that this project was initiated by [Hongguoguo Pictures], the producer was named Yu Haiyang, and the total investment reached 20 million.

Sheng Yixia has recently participated in two online dramas, so she has a little understanding of the industry. Hongguoguo Pictures is a very successful company in the industry and has made many popular online dramas.

Yu Haiyang is also a well-known producer in the industry. He has supervised the production of several popular movies.

In addition, the director of this project is also a well-known director in the Internet circle.

It is precisely because of this that the project completed the preliminary financing easily, and the investors were all well-known companies or individuals in the industry. Even Sheng Yixia's company, Modu Entertainment, invested three million.

The outline of the story is also very simple.

During the Republic of China, a local warlord was responsible for causing trouble. He plundered a large amount of materials and exchanged them for gold and jewelry. Under the protection of a group of cronies and soldiers, they moved them overseas.

A mysterious person with lofty ideals organized a group of strangers and carefully planned an operation that was completed in full view of the public, like a grand magic show, looting the wealth of the general and making his subordinates pay. paid the due price.

In the end, people with lofty ideals donated these gold and jewelry to the anti-war organizations, contributing to the nation.

Of course, in order to fit in with the local culture and distinguish it from Now You See Me, traditional magicians are used here.

Then, Sheng Yixia briefly looked through part of the script. The lines and characters were also quite interesting, and it could be called a good work.

However, no one in the film industry can guarantee that the film will be a hit, and the result will eventually have to be tested by the market for real money.

After Sheng Yixia finished reading, Zhang Qing asked: "Yixia, what do you think of this project? Which character are you more interested in?"

Sheng Yixia pondered for a moment, and then said: "This project is quite interesting. If you are interested, of course I am most interested in the young magician - Zhao Xingyao, but this role is very important, I am afraid it will not be our turn."

This character has grown up, has a lot of roles, and is responsible for the highlight moment of the final trick. Although he is not the male lead, there are some parts that are easier to shine than the male lead.

In a project of this scale of investment, there must be countless pairs of eyes on this character.

"It turns out you have no chance, but now it's not necessarily the case." Zhang Qing said with a smile, "Actually, I have a good relationship with Yu Haiyang, and he still owes me a favor. Originally, I wanted to find you a male lead who has a lot of roles. Number."

"But I watched your short video last night, and after watching the prequel of King of Du, I came up with a bold idea. It's also about selling favors to get roles. Let's have a bigger appetite and just stare at the magician Zhao Xingyao. This role goes."

"This..." Sheng Yixia was a little surprised, "Sister Zhang Qing, I'm afraid Mr. Yu won't agree, right?"

This is a role that has to be responsible for the film's success. Whether it is his qualifications or acting skills, they are far from enough. It is impossible to win the role by selling favors.

Moreover, Yu Haiyang must be a very capable and assertive person who has made several popular movies on the Internet. Unless someone who can crush him to death speaks out, he will not lower the quality of his film for the sake of favors.

"Tell me first, how did you make your short video?" Zhang Qing did not answer directly, but looked at Sheng Yixia's slender fingers, "Is it the special effects or your ability."

Sheng Yixia thought for a moment, took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket, and used a few simple techniques to cut, shuffle and overlap the cards, with smooth and gorgeous movements.

He originally just wanted to show off his card control skills a little bit.

But unexpectedly, it fell into Zhang Qing's eyes. When he was cutting the cards, it was as if an invisible spotlight shone on him, as if it cast a layer of soft fluorescent light on him, making him already very handsome. The image adds a bit of charm.

It seemed as if an invisible hand forcefully grabbed Zhang Qing's eyeballs, causing her to unknowingly focus on Sheng Yixia.

This is the effect of the entry brought about by the card control technique’s promotion to green quality—“Light of Charm.”

"So handsome~"

Zhang Qing was slightly absent-minded, her heart began to beat wildly, and there was a confused look in her eyes.

"Crack!"

After a short demonstration, Sheng Yixia closed the cards, ended the demonstration, and said: "When I was starring in the prequel of King of Du, I thought it was interesting to shuffle and cut the cards, so I practiced hard."

Hearing the crisp sound of closing cards, Zhang Qing came back to her senses as if waking up from a dream.

Looking at Sheng Yixia again, he was still handsome, but he no longer had the uncontrollable beating feeling just now.

She couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot and cursed herself secretly.

Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, please don't let your mind wander. Yixia is still a kid who hasn't graduated from college. Amitabha, Amitabha~~

"Sister Zhang Qing, are you okay?" Sheng Yixia saw that she was in a bad state and quickly asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Qing picked up the water glass and took a sip.

With the willpower she had honed over many years in the workplace, she quickly stabilized her mind, eliminated distracting thoughts, shook her head and exclaimed: "A top student is a top student. Genius is indeed something we mortals cannot understand. Ordinary people can train hard even if they are talented." Even after a few years, I may not be able to become like you."

Sheng Yixia wanted to retort that he was not a real genius at all, but after thinking about it, he let it go and just said vaguely: "Maybe, I am particularly talented in this area?"

Zhang Qing did not dwell on this issue anymore, but concluded in a deep voice: "You have good looks, and your fingers are also very beautiful and flexible. This is your advantage."

"I talked with Yu Haiyang. The magician Zhao Xingyao has many dazzling close-ups of his tricks. He has very high requirements on the durability of his hand shapes and the flexibility of his fingers. At this point, few people can match you. ”

"Ichika, your biggest problem right now is your acting skills. You have a lot of roles as a magician, and you have appeared in many important plots. The requirements for your acting skills are not low. With your current acting skills, you want to win this role. It’s difficult.”

"But if you can improve your acting skills in a short period of time, even if it just allows Yu Haiyang to feel the visible improvement in your acting skills, our possibility of winning this role will be greatly improved."

"After all, as long as you can grow, you can be trained and polished during the filming process to make you more suitable for the role."

Having said this.

Zhang Qing looked into Sheng Yixia's eyes, as if she wanted to see his attitude clearly: "Are you confident that you can improve your acting skills in a short time?"

Sheng Yixia thought carefully.

The shortcomings in acting are real.

In the past, he would have felt that this opportunity was unnecessary, but now that there is a card drawing system after completion, the situation is different.

He has already experienced the benefits brought by skill cards.

Character cards are obviously higher-end than skill cards, but they also require higher abilities.

If he can improve his acting skills and better interpret the essence of the role of [Juggler], he may be able to draw character cards directly after the filming is completed, instead of just drawing scattered skill cards.

Think of this.

Sheng Yixia's eyes turned serious, and she nodded to Zhang Qing and said, "Sister Zhang Qing, I will try my best, but I don't know how to improve my acting skills."

In fact, the best way to improve your acting skills is to find a movie in which actors play roles. If you can draw the skill card [Acting Skills], the problem will be solved.

Unfortunately, there are currently no similar projects for him to act in.

Naturally, Zhang Qing didn't know what was going on in Sheng Yixia's heart. Seeing his serious attitude, she also smiled happily: "As long as you are willing to work hard, I will arrange the rest. By the way, you know Gu Yonghan Bar?"

"Teacher Gu?" Sheng Yixia paused for a moment, then nodded, "I know, but I have never dealt with him."

As far as Sheng Yixia knows, this Gu Yonghan is also an artist of Magic City Entertainment. He has a professional background, but he is already in his thirties. He only plays some insignificant supporting roles and is a fringe artist who is not popular at all in the company.

Of course, he was now pulled out of the dark corners by Sister Zhang Qing and became one of her subordinates.

"Yong Han's acting skills are very good and he is well-known in the Shanghai drama circle. He just lacks suitable opportunities. I'll let him guide you these days to help you hone your acting skills." After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he picked up the phone. He sent an address to Sheng Yixia, and then passed on Gu Yonghan's prestige to him, "He is currently on the set of "King of Kitchens". You can go directly to him here and he will arrange it for you."

Sheng Yixia took a look and found that the address was a famous time-honored restaurant in Shanghai - [Dehong Building], not far from the company.

He immediately said goodbye and left the company, took a taxi and arrived at the downstairs of Dehong Building in just over 20 minutes.

After getting off the car, Sheng Yixia casually looked around at the situation and was about to take out her mobile phone to send a message to Gu Yonghan.

At this time.

A middle-aged man in chef's clothes, who looked about thirty or forty years old, hurriedly walked out of Dehong Building, glanced around, and immediately locked his eyes on him, waving to him: "Xiaoxia, you came just in time. There is a small character dancing. If you have a ticket, come and help save the day."

Ah this...

I just came here and you want me to play a role?
