Chapter 73 Cast Confirmed
Lin Guzhi ignored Xia Qing's smile. He did what he said and immediately walked out from between the sofa and the coffee table, stretched his legs forward, and did a vertical split.
Yang Lijing was attracted by Xia Qing's smile and wanted to laugh too, but when she saw the vertical split made by Lin Guzhi, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
She just felt that Lin Guzhi's movements were very beautiful, and different from the dancer-like splits like Huang Yan.
She had seen Huang Yan do similar moves. The movements of that outdated traffic star were always filled with the gracefulness of dancing, but the split by Lin Guzhi in front of her was full of power. The leg stretched forward, and from a visual point of view, it was full of explosive power and murderous intent.
It’s so tense!
Yang Lijing couldn't help thinking. She even felt that the slash of this strange man who was alone with a child in front of her seemed to rush into her heart with an inexplicably strong impact. If Lin Guzhi gave her a wicked smile now, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.
The man in front of him had definitely practiced martial arts before. And he had not practiced martial arts like Huang Yan, but had practiced real boxing and kicking!
"can."
Yang Lijing tried to adjust her breathing and make herself look calmer. "Your image and physical condition are both good enough. Your acting skills don't need to be too high. Just about enough will be fine. Our director will be here soon. Let him take a look.
"If it's possible, let's sign a contract, get ready, and start shooting tomorrow. How about that? But I have to tell you in advance, since you're a newcomer after all, your pay won't be too high."
Before Lin Guzhi could say anything, Xia Qing rushed to say, "It can't be too low!"
Yang Lijing glanced at Xia Qing and said, "Okay, then Mr. Lin's pay will be deducted from your share of the new album."
Xia Qing: "..."
Yang Lijing glared at Xia Qing fiercely. Xia Qing also knew that she had said something wrong, so she kept silent.
Lin Guzhi said: "It's okay, as long as it works, just give it to me as you see fit."
When he said that, Yang Lijing changed the subject and smiled, "Don't worry, Xia Qing brought you here. Xia Qing is my little sister. As long as our play can be shot well, I will pay you more than the average newcomer."
Lin Guzhi still expressed no objection.
Then when Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi finished drinking the water in the cup, Yang Lijing picked up the empty cup to get some water and signaled Xia Qing to come over with her eyes.
Xia Qing guessed that Yang Lijing was going to attack her, so she followed carefully, feeling very nervous.
Sure enough, after arriving in the kitchen, Yang Lijing glared at Xia Qing fiercely and said angrily, "You are very familiar with her, right? You are so ungrateful! You raised the price before I even said anything! Do you think my money came from the wind?"
"hey-hey."
Xia Qing smiled awkwardly and didn't explain. She knew that making excuses at this moment would only make Sister Li even angrier.
Unexpectedly, Sister Li suddenly asked, "How do you know this person?"
Xia Qingxin mentioned it and said, "I met Xiaoxi by chance when I was out collecting inspiration. I played with her for a while, and then I met Xiaoxi's father. I was wearing a mask and sunglasses at the time, and Xiaoxi's father thought I was going to do something to Xiaoxi, so he rushed over."
Yang Lijing imagined how Xia Qing looked when she was out there, and said with a smile, "They think you're a human trafficker, right?"
"Yeah yeah."
Xia Qing nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that she had guessed that Sister Li would ask this and had prepared a reason. Otherwise, if she were to cram at the last minute and make up a reason at random, it would definitely not be so perfect that Sister Li would believe it.
She added: "That's why I know Xiaoxi's father is quite capable."
Yang Lijing said: "Not bad, I didn't expect you to have some unexpected gains when you went out to collect inspiration. But why are you so concerned about him? Are you attracted to him?"
Xia Qing said, "No, no, no, no?! I just felt that Xiao Xiao Xiao Xi was so pitiful because she was alone without a mother. Xiao Xiao Xiao Xi's father didn't have a good job, and life was not easy for him, so I just wanted to help them."
Yang Lijing laughed and said, "Why are you stuttering? It's like a guilty thief." Xia Qing: "..."
It's over! She felt her face getting hot.
Yang Lijing filled two cups with water and said, "Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore. Bring the water over. I'll go to the bedroom and come back later."
Xia Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, took two glasses of water and went out, separated from Yang Lijing, and went to the sofa.
She put down the water and sat down, and only said to Lin Guzhi: "Sister Li will be here in a while." Then she closed her mouth, not in the mood to chat.
After a while, not only Sister Li came over, but the director of Sister Li's TV series also came.
The director's name is Liu Qianding, and he is considered a veteran in the television industry, but he has always been shooting popular dramas. He is good at shooting blurred, skin-smoothed, and highly saturated dramas, and most importantly, he listens to investors.
This is the reason why Yang Lijing chose Liu Qianding to direct this play.
Therefore, Liu Qianding had no objection to Yang Lijing's decision to find an amateur to replace Huang Yan for the reshoot. After he arrived at Yang Lijing's house, he saw Lin Guzhi and he had an idea in his mind.
"How about it?"
Yang Lijing asked.
Liu Qiandian nodded and said, "He has a good image and temperament. The person you found, Boss Yang, is indeed reliable."
Yang Lijing said, "Why don't you just watch the performance again? After all, you have to take this piece."
Liu Qianding said: "I just want to see his action skills. This is the most important thing for this role. Other things don't matter. Just a straight face will do. I think there is no problem with his image and temperament. He doesn't even need skin smoothing."
He knew what kind of drama he was shooting. As for acting, the main actors were already so good, so what if a supporting actor could do a little better? The audience of this drama was not watching for that.
Now he and Boss Yang have the same idea - find a replacement for Huang Yan as soon as possible, finish the reshoots as quickly as possible, and then cut what needs to be cut and edit what needs to be edited, so as not to delay the launch of the new drama.
Yang Lijing said to Lin Guzhi: "Then Mr. Lin, please show Director Liu your physical fitness again."
So Lin Guzhi did another split.
Liu Qianding's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and shouted, "Good!"
"That's it?"
Yang Lijing observed Liu Qianding's expression and asked.
Liu Qiandian nodded and said, "It's settled. It can be settled."
Yang Lijing nodded slightly and suddenly took out a bulging red envelope.
She stuffed the red envelope into Lin Guzhi's hand and said, "Mr. Lin, I thought about it. You are here to help me save the situation. It would be a bit too inhumane for me to sign a contract and go through the procedures with you.
"Here's 6,000 yuan. Take it first. When we finish filming, I'll give you another 60,000 yuan in a red envelope. Let's make it a lucky number. First 6,000, then 60,000, adding up to 66,000. Do you think that's okay?"
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be on the shelves tomorrow. I will ask for a first order then. Thank you everyone.
