Jiuji Beef Brisket is very quiet today, not as noisy as in the past.
The boss, waiters and others were sitting in corners, yawning out of boredom.
This made Li Ruotong feel frightened when he walked in, and even wanted to run away.
Until she saw the boy sitting inside, she felt a little relieved and walked over quickly.
"Xiao Sheng..."
Xiao Qian looked up, saw it was her, and smiled kindly.
"Are you here? Sit down. You can order whatever you want to eat. This restaurant is said to be very good and many people like it."
Li Ruotong nodded, but not really.
As a native of Xiangjiang, she naturally knows how good Jiuji Beef Brisket is. But she is not used to the quietness of this store today.
"Xiao Sheng, I...can I really play the role of Little Dragon Girl?"
After his interest was piqued by Xiao Qian, Li Ruotong read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for two nights after he returned.
In the book, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu broke away from the secular world and their love for life and death moved her deeply. And the descriptions of Xiao Longnu's extraordinary beauty made her heart beat even more.
Although she knew she was beautiful, she didn't know that her beauty could be equal to that of Xiao Longnu.
Xiao Qian pointed to her eyes.
"As for me, I have produced many dramas and introduced countless popular actors. Trust my vision. If I say you are suitable, you will be suitable."
Domineering men are just different, which makes Li Ruotong's heart beat.
Being shy, I unconsciously stroked the ends of my hair on my face and began to imagine my life after becoming an actor.
"Then...what do you want from me?"
Xiao Qian is open and honest.
"First of all, you need to learn Mandarin well. Your current accent is not good enough. This drama can arrange dubbing for you, but in the end you have to perform it yourself. In addition, you have no acting foundation and need to be trained in advance. There is also martial arts training, which is also very important.
Thank you for your hard work, I hope you can persevere."
Li Ruotong quickly said: "I'm not afraid of hardship."
Xiao Qian liked this attitude best and handed over the contract.
"You take a look first. If there are no problems, we will sign the agreement. From now on, you will be Starlight's artist. The company will equip you with a team of managers and assistants, and you will have to start adapting to your new life.
"
Li Ruotong was born in a capitalist society, so he naturally understood the importance of the agreement and immediately checked it carefully.
At this time, someone else came in from outside the store, and their voice was very exaggerated.
"Wow, no, I just invited you to dinner, why did you drive everyone away?"
Xiao Qian took the initiative to pull a chair over to the visitor.
"There's nothing I can do. Look at the large number of people around me. If we don't book the venue and everyone is watching, how can we talk about it?"
The other party was already in front of me. He sat down and gave a thumbs up.
"Boss, it's really different."
When Li Ruotong saw the person coming, he was extremely excited and stood up to greet him carefully.
"Brother Jiahui, hello."
That's right, the person who came was none other than Thousand Faces actor Liang Jiahui, the first actor Xiao Qian was looking for in Xiangjiang.
Although this guy is a movie star, he is very friendly to the people in his daily life. He likes to hang out in the streets and alleys and has a very pyrotechnic atmosphere.
Xiao Qian made an appointment with him to meet, and he arranged the place at Jiuji Beef Brisket, and even called it his treat.
Xiao Qian believed his evil deeds and packed up the Jiuji Beef Brisket after he arrived. The place was closed to the public today.
Seeing the beautiful girl, this guy said carelessly: "Is this the heroine you are looking for? She is so beautiful."
Xiao Qian shook his head.
"She is a good prospect I met on the plane and was prepared for another drama."
Liang Jiahui grinned at Li Ruotong.
"Little girl, you have been chosen by the Chinese Zodiac, and you are very lucky. You must work hard and don't lose the face of us Xiangjiang people in the mainland."
Li Ruotong, who was still in the larval stage, was so excited that he could only nod in agreement after being encouraged by film industry leader Liang Jiahui.
Liang Jiahui has seen thousands of people, and even if Li Ruotong is beautiful, he is just a passing moment. He is very happy now because Xiao Qian asked him to film a movie.
"Is it also an action scene this time?"
"yes."
"I still don't need to fight?"
"No, you will be beaten badly this time."
Liang Jiahui laughed and became even happier.
"That's great. I'll fight hard this time and let everyone take a good look. I can't just act in literary dramas."
Xiao Qian began to explain the content.
"This filming will be very hard. You have to be mentally prepared. The crew will go to Gansu Province and you will have to eat sand."
Liang Jiahui's face twitched, but he still agreed.
"Okay, it's your show, just eat the sand."
A feminine male voice came from outside the store.
"Am I going to eat sand too?"
Xiao Qian and Liang Jiahui looked at the sound and saw two people walking in side by side.
One is An Juanxi, an old acquaintance.
The other is an old man with gray hair, Qing Jun, with a kind smile, calm steps and charm. Especially a pair of eyes, which are exquisite and seem to have light.
Seeing this person, Xiao Qian and Liang Jiahui didn't dare to neglect and stood up to greet him.
"Teacher Liu Xun, nice to meet you!"
"Mr. Liu, you are here."
This Liu Xun is another important actor Xiao Qian is looking for in Xiangjiang besides Liang Jiahui.
He is the eunuch Gu Jinfu in "The Swordsman", Huang Qiying in "Once Upon a Time", and Jia Ting in "New Dragon Inn".
He is a very personal supporting role in the history of Hong Kong films, and has played countless classic roles that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although the Hong Kong film industry in this life is very different from the previous life, he still shines with the color he deserves.
In Xiao Qian's new play this time, without this person, there must be a certain lack of charm.
So he asked An Juanxi for help and invited him over.
After greeting each other, a few people sat down.
Li Ruotong next to him didn't dare to breathe when he saw this posture. He never thought that the high-end game in the film and television industry could be witnessed with his own eyes.
"Everyone is here, let's chat while eating? Brother Jiahui has always praised the food in this restaurant, so let me, a foreigner, appreciate it?"
An Junxi smiled.
"Anyway, you are the host today, you have the final say."
Several people laughed and ordered their favorite food. Seeing that Li Ruotong was timid, Xiao Qian took the initiative and ordered a beef brisket noodles for her.
Before the things were delivered, a few people started chatting.
"Xiao Sheng, will the investment in this new film still follow the previous ratio?"
An Junxi was in high spirits and stayed close to Xiao Qian.
He owes his current success to Xiao Qian, so he naturally has to follow in Xiao Qian's footsteps.
Xiao Qian wants to shoot a new movie in person, and others can watch, so Jiahe will definitely have to help with the filming.
Xiao Qian nodded.
"In addition to Starlight and Golden Harvest, South Korea's CJ Group and Xiying Film Studio will join in."
An Junxi did the math and found that the four investors were all of extraordinary strength, and the film had a bright future.
"Sure, the investment will arrive the day after tomorrow."
Next to him were Liang Jiahui and Liu Xun, who looked at him sideways.
Although they are just actors, they have been in the industry for many years, and they have seen the difficulties that the crew goes through in order to attract investment.
As a result, when we got to Xiao Qian, cross-border investments could be decided in just a few words.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
Xiao Qian didn't know what they were thinking. When he saw the things coming up, he helped arrange them while telling the story to the two of them.
"Brother Jiahui, the role you play this time is a general of the Ming Dynasty. In order to protect the children of his benefactor, he was hunted down by traitors. So after you go back, you should read more information about the Ming Dynasty to make sure you know it well.
.”
Liang Jiahui is a dedicated actor who never discounts the director's instructions. If he nods and obeys, he will definitely do his best.
Xiao Qian looked at Liu Xun again.
"Teacher Liu, your character is one of the four gangsters in Fangdong Factory. He is highly skilled in martial arts and treacherous. He has an important rivalry with Brother Jiahui."
He emphasized again.
"It's a literary drama, and it tests your ability to control scenes."
Liu Xun laughed at himself.
"This is both a literary play and a martial arts play, and you have to eat sand. I'm an old man, I'm afraid I have to answer for it."
Unlike Liang Jiahui, he was born in Liyuan and is very knowledgeable about ancient culture.
"The stall owner in Dongchang should be a eunuch, right? It's not easy to act as a eunuch."
Xiao Qian wanted to say something else, but before she could speak, the waiter who was placing the plates suddenly spoke.
"Eunuchs are incomplete people, so their psychology must be abnormal. If you want to play a good eunuch, it's best to live like a eunuch for a period of time."
Xiao Qian looked up and was stunned for a moment.
"You buddy..."
The waiter's face was serious, and the depths of his eyes were full of passion.
