Chapter 280 Lin Xuan: Come to my room to give you extra lessons at night! (Please subscribe!)
"At that time, I just thought about asking him to show his kindness to you. The authorities are obsessed with it. I didn't expect that things would be so rough, and you would see through it at a glance."

Cai Yinong recalled her performance at the dinner and shook her head in embarrassment.

"It's nothing. It's what the boss of a film and television company should do to introduce new people. That's how I came here. I just didn't expect Mr. Cai to think so highly of him that he would be willing to spend such a high price."

Lin Xuan comforted him, saying that he had no bad feelings about this behavior.

"I personally signed this kid into the company, so of course I am optimistic about him."

Cai Yinong told him about Hu Ge, focusing on pleasant things.

But after she talked for a long time, Lin Xuan never let go.

"Director Lin, what do you think about this matter?"

Cai Yinong felt a little anxious and asked directly.

"Let's wait until the audition. It's just empty talk. I have to see how their acting skills are."

"Oh, oh, okay. We were so busy chatting that we lost track of time."

Lin Xuan sent her downstairs to the hotel.

Lin Xuan ignored her and continued to smoke.

"No smoking allowed here!"

Looking back, Huang Shengyi was standing not far away wearing a costume, holding a script, and smiling.

Cai Yinong nodded, that was all she could do for now.

The car slowly left the hotel.

Then Hu Ge and Yuan Hong still have hope.

Within a few minutes, a staff member ran over and greeted the security guard to let him go.

Lin Xuan couldn't listen anymore, looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Cai, it's getting late. Let's talk another day."

Lin Xuan did not interrupt their scolding, lit a cigarette on the spot, and acted as a melon-eater.

"What's your director arguing with Wu Zhi?"

"OK then."

He had contacted him in advance and wanted to come and visit during his lunch break.

Cai Yinong picked up her handbag and stood up.

This outfit made Lin Xuan a little excited.

The man was short, fat, and menacing. He didn't take Zhou Xingxing seriously at all.

Lin Xuan had just taken a few steps when he saw Zhou Xingxing arguing with someone from a distance.

"It's not because of the filming. Director Zhou has a weird temper and is almost demanding on martial arts movements. Director Hong also has a bad temper, and they started arguing after just a few words of conversation."

Cai Yinong sat in the back row and sighed resentfully.

When I got off the bus, I saw a dilapidated old building from the 1920s and 1930s.

"It's okay, Mr. Cai, I'll give it to you."

Lin Xuan was the driver when he was on the crew, and the crew had to listen to him from top to bottom.

At noon the next day, Lin Xuan took a car to the Magic City Film and Television Park, which is also the filming set of "Kung Fu".

The car drove straight in and stopped in the parking lot inside.

When she got in the car, she smiled and waved goodbye.

He even dared to beat Cheng Long, how could he be afraid of Zhou Xingxing.

The crew is like a bus. If you want to reach your destination safely, you can only have one driver.

In order to prevent secret photography, a cordon was set up all the way to prevent outsiders from approaching.

He couldn't see the person's appearance clearly from a distance of dozens of meters, but the only fat man in the "Kung Fu" crew who dared to quarrel with Zhou Xingxing was Hong Jingbao.

Apply a little powder and daisy, and the skin will look like gelatin, like watery hibiscus.

After talking about the role, Cai Yinong still had no intention of leaving and continued to sit here and talk.

The entire film and television base was taken over by the "Kung Fu" crew.

Lin Xuan's car was stopped, and he sat in the car and called Zhou Xingxing.

Lin Xuan did not refuse on the spot, indicating that he did not agree to the requests of other investors.

From her student days, to talking about her graduation job, to founding Tangren.

The open space in the middle was crowded with hundreds of people, including actors and crew.

She wore a plain white shirt with a floral skirt.

…………

Huang Shengyi walked over and explained the situation to him.

Just after taking two puffs, a voice sounded in my ears, very familiar.

If there are two people with equal abilities appearing in the same crew.

Just like a car with two drivers, they inevitably have to fight for the steering wheel, and the final result can only be loss of control.

"Stop smoking, it smells terrible."

Huang Shengyi covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

"If you think it smells bad, stay away. I'm so picky when visiting you. Bring me an ashtray."

He planned to play games in the hotel today, but Huang Shengyi invited him to visit the class.

Classmate Xiao Huang gave him an annoyed look.

But he still trotted to the lounge to get him an ashtray and moved a folding chair.

Lin Xuan took the ashtray, sat on the chair and asked: "You haven't had any roles recently, so why did you join the set so early and put on the costume?"

"Join the set in advance to get a feel for it. Otherwise, it won't work well when it's time to go on camera, and I will be the one who gets scolded."

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Xuan and complained: "I am terrified every day when I film a movie directed by your great director."

Lin Xuan put out the cigarette butt and said without looking back: "It's not easy. Come to the hotel in the evening and I'll give you a lesson. I'll make sure you won't be scolded."

Huang Shengyi's face turned red, and he nodded slightly: "Okay then."

"Just wear a costume so you can get into the show more easily."

He stood up, dusted himself off and walked towards the set.

…………

The quarrel is finally over.

Hong Jingbao took the Wu Xing brothers and left angrily.

Zhou Xingxing was sitting on a folding chair, his expression extremely ugly.

"Director Zhou!"

Lin Xuan came over to say hello.

Zhou Xingxing stood up and forced a smile.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"What a joke, it's normal for the cast and crew to quarrel. In the end, it's all for the sake of the show."

Zhou Xingxing was silent for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

He didn't want to say more about the crew, so he pulled Lin Xuan to introduce him to several leading actors.

Today's scene was about three martial arts masters fighting hundreds of people from the Ax Gang.

The actor who plays the tailor is called Zhao Zhilin. Although he is a wretched old man in the play.

He is a Hong Fist master, his master is Lin Shirong, and he himself is considered a disciple of Wong Fei Hung.

The person who plays the role of coolie Qiang is called Shi Xingyu. Looking at his last name, you can tell that he is from the Shaolin sect and is Wang Baoqiang's senior brother.

He studied martial arts with the chief martial arts monk of Shaolin Temple for eleven years, and his martial arts skills surpassed Baoqiang by several blocks.

The last actor Lin Xuan met was Wang Jinhua’s husband Dong Zhihua, and they had several meals together.

There are also Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu who play the roles of the landlord and the landlord.

Lin Xuan stepped forward to shake hands with several people and say hello.

Just talking about the number of scenes, the charter woman is actually the heroine of "Kung Fu".

The martial arts director was so angry that he definitely couldn't shoot today's scene.

Lin Xuan and several leading actors went to the lounge to drink tea and chat.

Zhou Xingxing was in a bad mood. Even though everyone was chatting happily, he didn't smile much during the whole process.

When the time was almost up, Lin Xuan stood up and left.

"Director Lin, I'll see you off."

Zhou Xingxing sent him to the parking lot.

Before leaving, Lin Xuan said seriously: "If the director and Wu Zhi don't get along, how can the movie be made well? I suggest you have a good talk with him. If you really can't talk, it's best to replace him as soon as possible."

"I understand, thank you."

Zhou Xingxing smiled and waved goodbye.

…………

Back to the hotel.

During the day, Lin Xuan played the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game according to the script, and at night he gave lessons to Huang Shengyi and acted with him.

The character she plays is mute.

In order to better integrate into the character, Lin Xuan did not let her speak during the whole process, almost suffocating her to faint.

After two days of rest, he came to the set again to prepare for a guest appearance.

The makeup this time was also very troublesome. It took me sitting on the chair for an hour before the makeup artist finished it.

After putting on beggar clothes and walking out of the dressing room, I saw Zhou Xingxing telling a play to two children.

The child who played the role of Ah Xing in childhood was older and greeted Lin Xuan politely.

It's a pity that he changed his costume, otherwise he would still have a few candies in his pocket.

The crew was ready, and Lin Xuan and the little boy entered the country to start filming. "Hey, little brother, little brother, don't go."

The little boy was about to go home when he was stopped by a middle-aged beggar.

"Wow, that's incredible, that's incredible. Did you know that a spiritual light erupted from the Heavenly Spirit Cap?"

Lin Xuan reached out and touched the child's head, then grabbed his arm.

"At such a young age, he has strong muscles and muscles. He is a martial arts genius that is rare to see in a century."

"If one day I let you open up the Ren and Du's two channels, you wouldn't be able to fly to heaven."

"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? I'll leave the task of policing evil, punishing rape, and maintaining world peace to you, okay?"

The little boy nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

The camera turned and showed a close-up of Lin Xuan.

Unkempt, ragged clothes, and a wretched look on his face.

He squatted on the ground, took out a book and said, "This book "The Palm of the Tathagata" is a priceless treasure. I think I am destined to you, so I will charge you ten yuan to teach it to you."

Looking at the four big words in the book, the little boy believed the beggar's lies.

I smashed the piggy bank and used the money from studying to buy this secret book.

"Crack!"

Lin Xuan stood up, patted his butt and walked behind the monitor.

"Director Zhou, how about this one?"

"You can perform well, but the child can't."

Zhou Xingxing pointed at the playback and shook his head.

The little boy became at a loss when he heard what he said.

Lin Xuan comforted him: "It's okay, don't be nervous, just have another one."

"One more."

If this were an ordinary actor, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

But facing a child under ten years old, I had no choice but to be patient and continue filming.

The little boy in the first scene was older and could understand the director's instructions.

The second scene, the child at the end of the movie, that’s what filming is called torture.

Lin Xuan planned to get up early to finish the guest appearance.

As a result, by the time the two scenes were finished filming, it was already dusk.

"Hey! It's so tiring to film with children."

In the lounge, Lin Xuan complained while removing his makeup.

Zhou Xingxing came over and comforted with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lin Xuan doesn't charge a penny for his guest appearance, so he must at least pay for a meal.

Dinner was arranged at a Hong Kong restaurant in Shanghai.

The decoration is very similar to the Hong Kong Island style of the 1970s and 1980s.

The tables and chairs in the lobby are all foldable.

This style is called retro if it has high emotional intelligence, and it is cheap if it has low emotional intelligence.

But for people like Zhou Xingxing, this is called nostalgia.

The owner and chef of this store are both from Hong Kong, and their craftsmanship is quite authentic.

During the dinner, Zhou Xingxing took the initiative to chat with him about Hong Jingbao.

"I talked to him and we got into another fight."

When it came to business, the box immediately became quiet.

Lin Xuan put down his chopsticks and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"We have to change people! I contacted Yuan Heping, and he happened to be available."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, approving the candidate.

Zhou Xingxing smiled and said: "It would be great if Director Lin has time. I would like to ask you to be the martial arts instructor. The martial arts in "Xiu Chun Dao" are great."

Lin Xuan laughed a few times.

Dreaming!
In "Xiu Chun Dao", he is the director and also serves as the martial arts instructor.

If he were to direct alone, he would rather sleep at home and play games.

…………

The next morning, Lin Xuan got up early and rushed to the hotel.

The audition for the role of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was held in a conference room of a hotel in Shanghai.

Those who participated in the audition this time include the main creators of the show, investors, producers, and copyright owners, Yao Zhuangxian, known as the "Father of Fairy Sword".

In order to select the most suitable actor, this audition involves multiple people auditioning for the same role.

I'm afraid of comparison in many things, and the same goes for actors.

You may not be able to tell whether one person is good or bad just by watching one person's audition, but when two people stand together and compare them, the difference will be obvious.

The male and female protagonists had no objections, and the first audition role was Lin Yueru.

There were seven or eight people who participated in the audition, but the others were cannon fodder. In the end, they still had to choose between Liu Pinyan and An Yixuan.

Lin Xuan has a strong say in the crew.

Before the audition, Cai Yinong and several other investors approached him again.

I hope I can vote for their actors, and my gratitude afterwards will be indispensable.

To be honest, he was not satisfied with either of these two actors. Their looks were not beautiful, and their acting skills were even worse.

If it weren't for Wanwan Capital behind it, he would definitely have to be replaced by a mainland actor.

But if he had to choose one, he would definitely prefer the original version of the TV series.

Liu Pinyan was born in 88, one year younger than Liu Yifei.

The first and second female characters are both underage, and he, the male protagonist, is really punished.

"I think An Yixuan is more suitable for Lin Yueru. Liu Pinyan is too young to play Anu well. Tang Yu, I think Hu Ge is better. He graduated from a professional school and acted in a play..."

The audition ended in the morning, the crew met behind closed doors, and Lin Xuan gave his list of candidates.

Regarding Tang Yu's choice, he chose the former between Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan.

Cai Yinong glanced at him gratefully.

It's something that involves an important role in the play, and it's definitely not something that can be discussed in one noon time.

After lunch, everyone put aside the controversy and continued the audition.

The auditions in the afternoon were all small roles.

But what surprised Lin Xuan was that he actually met Jiang Xin, who came to audition for the role of "Nv Yuan".

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Xuan did not shy away from suspicion and directly voted for Jiang Xin.

Everyone knows that the two worked together in "Dragon".

This drama is about to premiere, and Mu Wanqing played by Jiang Xin is sure to attract a wave of popularity.

From every angle, she was the most suitable candidate, so the role was decided on the spot.

In the evening, the audition ended.

Cai Yinong wanted to treat Lin Xuan to dinner to express her gratitude.

Lin Xuan declined, and he made an appointment with a friend tonight.

…………

hotel room.

The two of them lay on the bed and rested, recalling the charm just now.

"You seem to be getting fatter!"

Lin Xuan's words were a critical strike.

Jiang Xin rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Why did you come to audition for 'Girl's Garden'?"

"Why can't I come to the audition? Am I not suitable?"

Jiang Xin's voice was a little hoarse.

"It's quite suitable, but the role is too small."

Jiang Xin laughed at herself: "It would be great if an 18th-tier actress like me can act. How can I be picky?"

"The Eighteenth Line is too exaggerated. After all, it's someone who has cooperated with me before."

Before Jiang Xin's smile could bloom, Lin Xuan quickly made a last-ditch attack.

"Fifteen lines at most, no more."

"Fuck off!"

Jiang Xin kicked him under the quilt.

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "I haven't finished talking yet. When "Dragon Movie" is broadcast, the first word will be removed."

If you remove one word, she is a fifth-tier actress.

Jiang Xin turned around and hugged him with longing eyes.

"Looking forward to that day coming soon!"
