This actor needs more money

A week later, in a suburban hotel, the departed martial arts crew gathered together.

There are three people in total, Ding Xiu, Wang Baoqiang, and the female protagonist.

Wang Baoqiang had been thinking about it day and night, and finally met his heroine, the girl with a mouth like a flower, Qin Gang.

She has long, waterfall-like hair draped around her waist, fair skin, an oval face, big eyes, and beautiful facial features that look pristine and untouched at first glance.

The girl wears a white down jacket, jeans, and black leather boots, looking very economical.

Wang Baoqiang looked at it for a few times and then was embarrassed to look at it again.

Unlike Ding Xiu, LSP's gaze never stopped, and from time to time he would smack his lips and make tut-tut sounds.

They were both looking at the girl, and the girl was looking at them both.

"Hello, my name is Gao Yuanyuan." The girl stretched out her hand to Wang Baoqiang: "You must be the male lead. Nice to meet you."

Wang Baoqiang shook hands and quickly let go, blushing and saying, "I am the second male lead, and the first male lead is my brother."

A strong hand stretched out from behind Wang Baoqiang, and Ding Xiu showed what he thought was the most handsome smile: "Hello, Ding Xiu."

"Hello."

Gao Yuanyuan's first reaction to Ding Xiu's smile was that of a scumbag.

She knows that the role she plays is the "girlfriend" of the second male lead.

The moment the two of them walked in, she was looking forward to it, hoping that Ding Xiu would be the second male lead. After all, who doesn't want to play with a handsome guy.

But after observing for a few more seconds, I saw Ding Xiu's unabashed LSP gaze and that scumbag smile, and my favorability dropped sharply.

"Now that we know each other, let's sit down." Director Xu Haofeng asked everyone to sit down and took out a large stack of scripts and put them on the coffee table: "This is the follow-up script, I will send it to you."

"In order to facilitate filming, our crew will stay in this hotel from today until the filming is completed. If there are no problems, we can start filming in two days."

"I treated guests to dinner in the afternoon. We are all familiar with each other. We are all young people. Meeting each other is fate. We help each other on the set. I hope this shooting will give us a good memory..."

Ding Xiu had been in a major film crew and compared Swordsman with Swordsman, and found that Xu Haofeng was not even the slightest bit different.

There was no script reading, martial arts moves were not rehearsed in advance, the costumes required for the play were not custom-made, and he did not even mention a word about makeup and styling.

"Director Xu, do you have any requirements regarding styling?"

"No, just have your hair slicked back like we did when we first met, and wear a gray suit. Baoqiang shave your head, and don't shave these days. I need you to grow some stubble to look mature."

"As for Yuanyuan, there's nothing you need to pay attention to. When the time comes, put on light makeup, tie two braids, and change into something a little more civilian."

In a few words, Xu Haofeng solved the image problem of the three leading actors. Just when everyone thought it was a bit sloppy, he took out some pieces of art paper.

"I have decided on the character's image a long time ago. You can refer to it. On the back of each picture is the character's personality information, including origin, preferences, temperament, and some life experiences."

Ding Xiu picked up the male lead and looked at it. The painting looked exactly like him. He was wearing a suit, with his hair slicked back, and the corner of his mouth was curled up in an evil smile.

The same goes for Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Baoqiang. One is pure, the other is honest, very expressive. They are them, but not entirely them.

"Director Xu, you must be a professional painter." Gao Yuanyuan was full of praise.

Xu Haofeng smiled lightly and said: "I studied art in high school, but I changed to directing in college."

After graduating and writing martial arts novels, Ding Xiu made a mental note for him.

"Speaking of which, I was in the same class as Jia Zhangke and Xu Jinglei, but they were in the literature department and the performance department."

"Really? Director Xu, there are quite a few celebrities in your class."

In 1997, "Xiao Wu" came out, and Jia Zhangke became famous. After "Platform", he was dubbed as one of the representatives of the younger generation of directors.

Xu Jinglei is also famous. She is a talented girl from Nortel and beautiful. Last year, the media made a list of the most popular female stars of the era among young people. There were ten people in total. Xu Jinglei ranked second, only 100 votes less than the first Xu Yan.

It is worth mentioning that the media also made a hate list, including Gong Li. The reason is that he has no acting skills and relies entirely on Zhang Yimou's praise. Especially in Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang, he is out of place.

There is also Liu Xiaoqing, the reason is that he loves to hype, Cai Guoqing is handsome and a fake girl, Wei Wei is a big name, Song Dandan is too earthy, and Chen Hong, the most beautiful girl in the mainland, is on the list for the same reason as Gong Li, she is a flower vase and has no acting skills.

"It's quite a lot. I didn't even get a job at Nortel. I only started directing after so many years after graduation. I feel ashamed of the training I received from the school. I was embarrassed to say hello to the teachers I met several times."

Ignoring Xu Haofeng's complicated mood, Ding Xiu said to Gao Yuanyuan: "Beauty, are you from Nortel too?"

"I'm from the School of Economics."

"You're a monk on the way, and so am I. I'll treat you to dinner another day, and we'll discuss performances together. You know how to liberate your nature..."

"Ahem." Xu Haofeng interrupted Ding Xiu: "I have already filmed four or five movies, and my acting skills are no worse than those of film school students."

Gao Yuanyuan debuted in high school and later studied at the School of Economics. She is currently a sophomore. She has filmed many commercials in her spare time and has also taken on several supporting roles. She is very smart.

She was obviously on the wrong track if she didn't study in an acting school, but in terms of her current development, she is no worse than a student in an acting school.

Ding Xiu widened his eyes exaggeratedly: "It's so awesome, then I have to ask you for advice."

"Asking for advice is out of the question. Let's make progress together."

"If you say that, I feel relieved."

Just when Gao Yuanyuan frowned, Ding Xiu changed the subject: "Director Xu, who is the martial arts instructor? I want to meet and discuss the moves."

"I am the martial arts instructor." Xu Haofeng pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Let me introduce you again. I am the director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, and art director."

"Don't worry about the tricks. I've drawn them all. Then you and Baoqiang can just follow the instructions. You two have martial arts skills, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Xu Haofeng bit hard on the word "should", which gave Ding Xiu an ominous premonition.

"Can you show me the drawings?"

"wait."

Looking through the paper for martial arts moves, Xu Haofeng handed it to Ding Xiu: "I drew these moves one stroke at a time. The moves may not be so mainstream, but the authenticity should be no problem."

"In order to photograph the real martial arts scene, I visited many famous artists and they gave me a lot of pointers."

Taking the drawings, Ding Xiu only took one look and his eyelids started to jump. In the first picture, two little people were a few meters apart, spinning in circles with unknown steps.

In the second picture, the villain moved. He exchanged only one move and then quickly separated. Then he performed a set of unknown punches on the spot, as if he was practicing martial arts.

In the third picture, the villain is slashing with weapons, a bit like break dancing.
