China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 29
The next morning, Lin Xuan packed his luggage and took Wang Baoqiang in a taxi to the airport.

This was his first time flying since time travel, and he was a little excited thinking about it.

After arriving at the airport, Lin Xuan called Wang Jinhua and learned that they encountered a traffic jam and had to wait a while.

"Let's go, Sister Hua and the others will be late, let's go in first."

"Brother Xuan, why don't you wait a little longer? I've never flown on a plane, and I'm afraid I'll make a mistake." Wang Baoqiang looked around nervously, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.

Looking at the expression on his face, Lin Xuan suddenly thought of a famous scene in a certain movie and secretly laughed in his heart.

"It's okay, once things get familiar again, you just follow me."

"Brother Xuan, have you ever flown on a plane?"

"No, but it's probably similar to a train. If you encounter someone you don't understand, just open your mouth and ask."

After that, Lin Xuan took him into the terminal building and went to the check-in counter.

Wang Baoqiang handed the ID to Lin Xuan and didn't need to worry about anything. To outsiders, Lin Xuan looked like his assistant.

After passing the security check and sitting down in the waiting hall, Wang Baoqiang was very nervous and kept asking: "Brother Xuan, is it dangerous to fly? Will the plane fall?"

Lin Xuan was so annoyed by him that he said: "Don't worry, airplanes are the safest means of transportation in the world, and the probability of an accident is very low. If something happens, it only means that you are bound to suffer this disaster, so there is no way to escape." Can’t hide.”

After explaining a few words to him, Wang Baoqiang felt a little relieved, but the expression on his face was still a little nervous.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wang Jinhua and Ren Quan rushed to the airport with her assistant.

After a few people said hello, they sat in the lobby waiting for the flight.

Wang Jinhua sat next to Lin Xuan and asked, "What did you say to Li Bingbing yesterday? She called me in the evening to apologize and said she was willing to go to the set."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It's nothing. It's just that the opportunity to play the second female lead is rare. I envy her. I hope she doesn't know her blessings."

"What you said is absolutely correct. She really has no ambition at all." Wang Jinhua sighed helplessly: "She went anyway. Thank you Lin Xuan."

"You're welcome, it's all what you should do. I can't watch Sister Bingbing being stupid."

Wang Jinhua didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly laughed: "But it's interesting to think about it carefully. I signed Ren Quan last year, Ren Quan recommended Li Bingbing, and Li Bingbing recommended you. As an agent, I don't have to dig out talents. You all helped me choose."

Lin Xuan echoed: "Then the pressure will now be on me. Sister Hua, don't worry, I will definitely recommend you a good actor and a motivated actor."

"Haha, it's a word."

After chatting for a while, the boarding announcement was announced, and the group dragged their suitcases towards the boarding gate.

........................

The plane was delayed for two hours as usual, and it was already noon when it landed at Xiaoshan Airport.

Wang Jinhua took them to a restaurant for dinner first, and then rented a commercial vehicle and went straight to Hengdian.

The crew of "Little Li's Flying Knife" has almost completed the preparatory work, and the filming can officially start in a few days after the lead actor joins the cast.

The crew booked a three-story room in a hotel near the filming location, and the actors' auditions were also conducted here.

The group came to the hotel, and the assistant stayed in the lobby waiting. Wang Jinhua took the two actors to the sixth floor.

After stepping out of the elevator, the hotel corridor was already filled with actors who came to audition, as well as their agents or assistants.

"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and find the director."

Wang Jinhua has been in the industry for seven or eight years and knows countless actors and directors. Things like jumping in line for auditions are basically just a matter of mentioning them.

The two people standing outside had nothing to do and began to look at the actors who came to audition.

Lin Xuan's previous auditions were all on his own, but now that he has a fellow student, he feels more confident.

"Are you nervous?" Ren Quan leaned over and asked softly.

"A little bit." Lin Xuan said modestly.

"Don't be nervous. I've seen it. No one here is as handsome as you. You nailed the audition." "Thank you, brother Quan. Brother Quan is also rock solid." Lin Xuan started exchanging commercial compliments.

Ren Quan was the actor who played Shangguan Jinhong's son Shangguan Fei in the original time and space.

Lin Xuan, a little butterfly, doesn't have the ability to blow away other people's roles.

Not long after waiting, a man walked out of the audition room: "Lin Xuan, Ren Quan, you two come in for the audition."

"Ok."

The two squeezed through the crowd and entered the room amidst envious glances.

The audition room was originally an executive suite, and the crew removed the furniture from the living room, leaving a large open space.

Because it is a period martial arts drama, the crew specially laid several thick layers of carpet in the middle of the living room to prevent the audition actors from falling.

The two walked into the room and found the room filled with smoke.

These old smokers.

At the end of the line of sight is a rectangular table with the names and identities of the audition officers on it.

Wang Jinhua was chatting with the old man sitting in the middle.

Lin Xuan's eyes moved downwards, and there were three big characters written on the identity card in front of the old man - Yuan Heping.

big shot.

Yuan Heping, known as "Eighth Master" and the eighth person in the "Seven Little Fortunes", is a famous action film director and martial arts instructor. He enjoys the reputation of "the best martial arts finger in the world".

There are countless movies for which he has served as director or martial arts instructor, such as "Drunken Master", "Huo Yuanjia", "Once Upon a Time", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and "Fist of Heroes". He has almost single-handedly supported the popularity of martial arts films in Hong Kong. Half of the country.

Last year, Ba Ye went a step further and landed directly in Hollywood to serve as the martial arts instructor for the movie "The Matrix". This year, he will serve as the martial arts instructor for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

For movies or TV shows where he's in charge, let alone anything else, there's no need to worry about the fighting moves.

Seeing the two people entering the room, Wang Jinhua pointed at them and said, "Master Ba, these are two young actors from my company. What do you think?"

"Eighth Master!"

The two of them greeted each other at the same time.

Lin Xuan thought to himself that this situation was a bit like entering the underworld and recognizing his elder brother.

"Okay, that's right. They are all talented people." Yuan Heping was very considerate and said some nice words.

Anyway, you can say good things for free, and whether you can pass the final audition depends on your real skills.

After a few words of greeting, Yuan Heping took out the script and asked: "Lin Xuan, you are auditioning for Jing Wuming, right?"

"Yes Master Ba."

"This role involves a lot of fighting scenes. We need actors with a background in kung fu. Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"I practiced basic skills and swordsmanship for several years when I was a child." Lin Xuan started to grin again.

Bao Qiang's Kung Fu is a child's Kung Fu, while Ren Quan's Kung Fu was specially trained after becoming an actor. His Kung Fu was obtained through cheating, so he had to make up a suitable reason.

"You're still a kid, and you're not that old now." Yuan Heping smiled and continued: "You know how to swordsmanship?"

"Yes, but I haven't learned it for long, and I only know a few basic swordsmanship routines, so I'm not very good at it."

"As long as you have the foundation, if you are good at swordsmanship, why do you need our martial arts instructor?" Yuan Heping pointed to the props on the shelf: "Just pick up a sword and practice for a while."

"Ok."

Lin Xuan took out a wooden sword from the shelf, then walked to the center of the field and clasped his fists in salute.

"let's start."
