40. Take over the role
Cheng Guochao called Xu Shi and said, "Brother, I have a friend who wants to see you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
Xu Shixiao said, "What's the convenience? I'm just having a lot of time now. Is there something wrong with you?"
Cheng Guochao did not hide it and said directly: "My friend is also a director. After reading your stills, he wanted to invite you to play a role, and he wanted to ask you to do their action guidance."
After listening to it, Xu Shi said helplessly: "Brother, I don't know how to act. The master of our drama is because of the biography of the characters written by Xiaoxiao, otherwise I wouldn't know how to act at all."
In fact, Xu Shi understood that the main reason why he was able to play the leading role was because of his fierce aura. Of course, this was also related to the fact that this role was tailor-made for him.
When it comes to acting, he really can't do it.
Cheng Guochao said: "Brother, don't worry about refusing. I know your situation, but I can guarantee that this role is very suitable for you. You don't need to perform. You are standing there and it's the role itself."
Xu Shi really doesn't want to participate in the performance. There is no way. Without the diamond, don't take on porcelain work.
When Cheng Guochao saw Xu Shi, he wanted to refuse and quickly added: "This time I can take Mingjie and Xiaoxiao to go there, just to expand their connections.
Brother, you also know that our relationship is more important than money relationship. My director friend is still quite influential in the circle. Letting Mingjie and Xiaoxiao get to know him will still be beneficial to their future."
Cheng Guochao knew what Xu Shi was weak. He had no idea of developing in the entertainment industry, but his niece and nephew had already been confirmed to develop in the entertainment industry.
As his uncle, he naturally wanted to help them more.
Sure enough, when Xu Shi heard him say this, he began to hesitate, and thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's see you first, but if it's appropriate, is it OK?"
Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao both grew up and lived with him since childhood, especially when Xu Cheng and his wife started to get busy with work, he was basically taking care of these two people.
Xu Shi said he was his uncle, but in fact he was similar to his father. His concern for these two siblings was deeply rooted in his heart.
In the evening, Cheng Guochao took Xu Shi and the other two to the hotel. Wang Lixin had been waiting for a long time there.
"Hello Xu Shi, my name is Wang Lixin, just call me Lao Wang." Wang Lixin stretched out his hand.
Xu Shi didn't expect him to give face like this, shook hands and said, "Hello, Director Wang, just call me Xiao Xu."
"Then I'll call you Brother Xu, but don't call Wang Dao Wang, if you don't mind calling me Brother Wang."
Then Wang Lixin greeted Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao again, and acted quite politely.
The two brothers and sisters Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao were quite excited. It can be seen that they were still very happy to know directors like Wang Lixin.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shi made a decision in his heart. Even if he did not take on Wang Lixin's role this time, he would agree to be their action guide.
Nothing else, it is just to expand the relationship between the two brothers and sisters.
"I ordered these dishes. I don't know if they match your taste." After some greetings, Wang Lixin said with a smile.
Xu Shidao: "It's very good, thank you Brother Wang."
Wang Lixin immediately invited everyone to eat food, and after three rounds of wine, he started to talk about the main business.
"Brother Xu, Lao Cheng has already told you that there is a character here who wants to invite you to participate and also invite you to become the action director of our crew. I wonder what you are thinking about?" Wang Lixin said.
Xu Shidao: "Brother Wang, maybe Brother Cheng didn't make it clear to you. I'm not an actor and have never learned acting skills. I know nothing about acting. You really look down on me. I'm not afraid of acting, but I'm afraid of causing trouble for you."
Cheng Guochao naturally told Wang Lixin about Xu Shi's situation. Wang Lixin was prepared for a long time and smiled and said, "I know this, but don't refuse it for now. Look at this role. The movie I am shooting now is called "The Martial Saint Guan Gong", and the character I want you to play is Lu Bu.
I've seen stills of you on Lao Cheng and his crew, and that temperament is really in line with Lu Bu's image."
Seeing Wang Lixin repeatedly invite him, Xu Shi was not very easy to refuse. After all, he had decided to expand his connections for Xu Mingjie and his sister, so he simply said directly: "Since Brother Wang said this, I won't say much else.
I'll take on this role for the time being. If it's not suitable then, I'll have to worry Brother Wang to find a suitable actor."
Hearing Xu Shi agreeing, Wang Lixin immediately said happily: "Haha, you are the most suitable person for Lu Bu, there is nothing wrong with it. Come on, Brother Wang, thank you, and I wish you a cup."
"I respect you, Brother Wang."
When Cheng Guochao saw the two of them reach an agreement, he also smiled and said, "Old Wang, we have agreed that we can't delay my affairs."
Wang Lixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's definitely not delayed. Even if I can't finish shooting, I will adjust the time."
"Okay, I'll feel relieved if you say this."
After saying this, Wang Lixin looked at Xu Shidao again: "Brother Xu, do you think about the action guidance?"
Xu Shixiao said, "This is a trivial matter, no problem, but can I make a request?"
Wang Lixin hurriedly said: "If you have any requirements, please make sure you make sure you do your best to complete them."
He had seen Xu Mingjie's martial arts short films, and his desire for such martial arts scenes was naturally very great.
Xu Shi said: "That's right. I hope to bring some people into the group. These people have been practicing martial arts for many years and have a very good effect on my design of movements.
Brother Cheng knew that I actually didn’t know how to design martial arts movements. The movements I designed were all designed by fighting with others.
If I had imagined it out of thin air, it would be difficult for some actors to complete. With the help of these people, I could design practical action scenes better.
Moreover, these people are all actors, so they can play some soldiers at that time, and the effect will be good."
Xu Shi did this for martial arts actors like Cheng Dapeng, who are in a sense of identity with martial artists, and he doesn't mind helping these people in his ability.
Wang Lixin turned his attention to Cheng Guochao, and he really didn't know about this.
Cheng Guochao nodded and signaled that Xu Shi was right. Xu Shi's method of designing the action was completely different from what he had known before, and it was simple and effective.
He actually asked Lin Li, and Lin Li's answer was simple at that time, that was, Xu Shi had reached the level of college students in martial arts, and these people were elementary school students, at most junior high school students.
It is natural and simple to make college students' questions work for primary school students, and it is easy to give several of the most reasonable solutions.
