Just when Guo Tianzhen was desperate, a voice suddenly came from the side, which made his heart skip a beat. He subconsciously thought that the director had changed his mind.
But when Guo Tianzhen turned around and saw that no one in the crew was left, and the one who spoke was a strange young man, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Because he recognized that this young man was not a member of the crew, but a tourist who had been visiting the outside before, and he seemed to have a word of help for him.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Therefore, although Guo Tianzhen was disappointed, he still calmed down and asked politely.
Now he is completely hopeless and has no interest in anything.
Whenever he thought that starting from today, he might have to bid farewell to Hengzhen, a place where he pursued his dreams, he felt a little discouraged, as if all his energy had been drained away.
Even the injuries on his body seemed to be a little more painful at this moment, but what made him even more uncomfortable was his heartache.
"I would like to ask, how long will it take for Mr. Guo's injury to heal?"
Naturally, it was Shen Mu who suddenly spoke. He had just stood aside and witnessed the entire incident, and subconsciously felt sympathy for Guo Tianzhen and his son.
Of course, as an outsider, Shen Mu did not stand up for Guo Tianzhen, let alone argue with the crew.
In a place like Hengzhen, things like this can happen every day. If every injustice has to be fought, then Shen Mu will have no choice but to be the savior.
What Shen Mu is interested in is Guo Tianzhen's skill.
He was also the vice-president of the martial arts club, so he believed that if he and Guo Tianzhen were to go against each other, they might not be able to get out of three rounds.
Just now, an idea flashed in Shen Mu's mind, and he suddenly felt that the two characters in the Wolf Fang List were very suitable for the father and son.
This was really an unexpected surprise for him.
So after everyone in the crew was gone, Shen Mu saw that Guo Tianzhen was in a daze, so he took the initiative to come forward and talk.
The premise of all this is that Guo Tianzhen has no major health problems.
"It's not too serious. I should be fine in three to five days. It's a pity..."
Although he didn't know who this young man was, Guo Tianzhen still answered truthfully.
At the end of the conversation, I looked reluctantly in the direction the director had just left.
The implication was that although his injuries were not serious, the crew would not wait three or five more days for a small military replacement for him.
Now not only is it impossible for Wu to do the job, but he probably won't be able to get today's reward. He only has enough money left to last for a few days, and next month's rent is not paid either.
"Three or five days?"
Shen Mu touched his chin, then took out a business card from his pocket and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Mu, and I am a director!"
"director?"
Guo Tianzhen, who had been extremely melancholy just now, couldn't help but trembled when he heard these two words.
Guo Lei also raised his head in disbelief, his eyes bursting with excitement.
"Uncle, are you really the director?"
Guo Lei blurted out, and this name made Shen Mu's head darken.
Why is this child so unable to speak?
"What's your name, uncle? It's called Brother Shen!"
Shen Mu was still very concerned about his age. He had just graduated from college and was only in his early twenties. He was definitely not used to being called uncle by a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Shen...Brother Shen!"
Guo Lei was a little confused, but he still subconsciously called out to Shen Mu.
With this interruption, Guo Tianzhen next to him finally recovered from his daze.
Looking at Shen Mu's name on the business card, Guo Tianzhen always felt that he had heard it somewhere and couldn't remember it for a while, but this was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for him.
"Shen...Director Shen, what can I do for you?"
Guo Tianzhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a trembling voice.
He didn't dare to be brothers with the director, he just asked the other party to give him a chance to replace him.
"Of course I came to Mr. Guo for cooperation!"
Shen Mu did not delay, and directly stated his purpose, which made the father and son a little flattered.
Although Guo Tianzhen is a well-known martial artist in Hengzhen, after the wounding incident, very few people came to him, let alone a distinguished director.
"You're welcome, Director Shen. You don't need to call me sir, just call me by my name!"
Guo Tianzhen was immersed in the surprise and was a little distracted, but he quickly came back to his senses with a very humble attitude. He felt that the happiness came too suddenly, like a dream.
Just now, Guo Tianzhen was still thinking about where to find next month's rent. If he couldn't find it, should he take his son back to the countryside of Zhongzhou to spend the rest of his life?
Unexpectedly, a director came to my door in a blink of an eye and said that he wanted to cooperate with me.
It's just that this director looks a bit young, as if he has just graduated from school, and he probably has never heard of his own injury incident.
This cooperation may not be successful.
"Then I'll call you Brother Guo. Brother Guo, let's sit down next to each other and talk!"
When Guo Tianzhen was worrying about gains and losses, Shen Mu had already intervened, and then together with Guo Lei, he helped the former to sit down on the steps aside.
"Hiss..."
Just such a movement caused Guo Tianzhen to take a breath of pain. It was obvious that the injury just now was serious and he would not be able to recover for a while.
"Leizi, what's that look in your eyes? It's not the first time this has happened. Dad is fine!"
It seems that he saw Guo Lei's still worried eyes, or maybe he was afraid that Director Shen next to him would cancel the so-called cooperation because of his injury, so Guo Tianzhen gritted his teeth and forced out a smile.
"Director Shen, my injury looks serious now, but it will be healed in three to five days, really!"
Then Guo Tianzhen turned his head and explained a few words.
He needs this opportunity very much now. Even if he just plays a corpse, he wants to continue to stay in Hengzhen.
"It's okay. My drama may not start filming for some time, which is enough for Brother Guo to recover from his injuries!"
Shen Mu didn't pay too much attention. He could see that Guo Tianzhen probably didn't hurt any bones.
Since it's not a big deal, even if the time mentioned by the other party is somewhat watery, it won't delay his affairs.
"Brother Guo, if you don't mind, can you tell me about your stay in Hengzhen?"
Regarding this understanding of this person, although Shen Mu asked himself whether he was right in judging people, he still wanted to know more information.
For example, what happened to the so-called injury incident?
"It's been twelve years!"
Guo Tianzhen didn't hide it, and it was obvious that he was feeling a little sad. He said: "At the beginning, because I was a lay disciple of Songlin Temple, many crews asked me to be a substitute, so it was smooth sailing!"
"It wasn't until more than a year ago that I accidentally hurt someone while filming, which cost me almost all my savings. I also borrowed a lot of money from friends. Alas..."
In fact, Guo Tianzhen's experience in Hengzhen was really simple. A martial artist like him also had a very simple mind. He just worked as a martial arts stand-in for others. To put it bluntly, it was a job of getting beaten.
It's a pity that he was unlucky, and all his years of hard work and savings were wasted in one fell swoop.
So for this person, sometimes it’s like this. I don’t know who will come first tomorrow or in an accident?
"Dad, it was obviously that guy who drank too much the night before and had stomach bleeding..."
Speaking of this, Guo Lei next to him felt a little angry.
But as soon as he said a word, his father raised his hand to interrupt him, causing a trace of unwillingness to flash in his eyes.
"The truth is now unverifiable. He was injured and vomited blood after my punch. I admit it!"
Since more than a year has passed since the incident, Guo Tianzhen seems to have passively accepted this fact.
Moreover, the money has been lost and so much time has passed. Now that I am defending myself in front of outsiders, I will not gain a reputation as a narrow-minded person.
More importantly, Director Shen in front of him is the only straw that keeps Guo Tianzhen in Hengzhen, and he must seize it.
Who would want a military substitute who is disobedient and even makes excuses for doing something wrong?
"Director Shen, don't worry. As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes. Now I'm very measured in my actions, and I will never hurt anyone again!"
After stopping his son, Guo Tianzhen turned around and said seriously.
He knows that the other party is only interested in him now, and is far from reaching the level of cooperation. He must clearly express some attitudes.
"Of course I can trust Brother Guo. I could see clearly just now when I was standing nearby. It was the one who didn't master the movements well. Brother Guo just suffered an unreasonable disaster!"
The words that came out of Shen Mu's mouth almost brought tears to the eyes of Guo Tianzhen and his son. Finally, someone understood.
In fact, it's not that no one in the crew saw this, it's just that they all chose to be blind or silent.
After all, compared with Guo Tianzhen, a mere martial artist, compared with the many male second actors who have shown their faces, anyone can clearly weigh the importance of the two.
I originally thought that Shen Mu was just a tourist passing by, but I didn't expect that this person turned out to be a young director. Guo Tian was shocked and delighted, and felt that he had met his soulmate.
"Brother Guo, there is a role in my new drama, and I think it suits Brother Guo very well!"
Shen Mu did not forcefully sensationalize the story and went directly to the subject. However, the word "role" once again shocked the Guo family and his son.
I always feel that what happened today is a bit unreal, like a dream.
"Shen...Director Shen, you mean...a character? No...not a stand-in?"
Guo Tianzhen was a little incoherent. He clearly understood the difference between the character and the stand-in.
But saying goodbye to being a stuntman and becoming a real actor is his lifelong dream.
Although Guo Tianzhen is not an acting major, he has been working hard for twelve years in Hengzhen, a place with a strong acting atmosphere. I am afraid that his experience is more sophisticated than that of some young actors.
Over the years, in addition to being a martial artist, Guo Tianzhen has also been busy observing other people's performances and even learning the performance methods of some veteran actors.
It is said that practice makes perfect. After so many years of being a martial artist and studying for so many years, in fact, just performing a simple role is absolutely no problem for Guo Tianzhen.
It's just that those directors in the past never thought of giving Guo Tianzhen a role.
They all only regarded this person as a substitute, and could not see other shining points in the other party.
