Mr. Lin was very surprised when he heard that Li Yi chose to audition for "Wolf Warrior".
After all, not just any actor can be cast in a military action movie. It wasn't until he heard that Li Yi was practicing Sanda recently that he felt at ease.
He and Zhang Manfen said, "Okay, then you can take him to Wu Jing's place to audition. It doesn't matter if he tries. Anyway, if it doesn't work, just come back and act in some youth-themed movie."
Zhang Manfen responded: "Yes, boss."
Walking out of the president's office, Zhang Manfen felt a little emotional, because there were not many newcomers who could make the boss so interested, and Li Yi was one of them.
But when Li Yi proposed to try a script subject that had never been tried before, the expression on Mr. Lin's face did not show uneasiness, but on the contrary, it was expectation.
"Li Yi is really lucky to be cared about so much by Mr. Lin." Zhang Manfen was also very comforted in her heart.
Early the next morning, Li Yi and Song Yingying rushed to the film and television base in Hangzhou.
Wu Jing was waiting for him there.
As a mainland kung fu actor, most of his movies are action movies.
He was once rated by professional directors as the actor most likely to take over the "baton of Chinese action movies" after Donnie Yen.
On the way there, Li Yi read some information and found that before filming "Wolf Warrior", he was playing some relatively mediocre roles.
Playing an insurance officer in "The Detective"?
Playing Bi Yewu in "Happy Magic"?
The only star with a relatively large cast is "New Shaolin Temple" directed by Chen Musheng, which includes Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jackie Chan and other leading actors.
But with all due respect to Li Yi, these movies are not very popular.
It’s no wonder that Wu Jing finally stepped into the military theme with her self-directed “Wolf Warrior” and became a leader.
Just when Li Yi was distracted, the car stopped.
Liu Hong reminded: "Mr. Li Yi, we are here."
Song Yingying pulled Li Yi's sleeve: "Let's go, let's get off the car."
Li Yi got out of the car, looked at the situation outside, and found that many people were in the film and television base.
Some were officers and soldiers walking by with weapons, and some were film directors who kept yelling curses into the phone.
It seems they are all very busy.
Yes, for life.
Li Yi also noticed Zhang Manfen walking towards her. She pointed to the shed and said, "Wu Jing is waiting for us there."
"Okay, let's go." Li Yi was looking forward to it, thinking that he would finally be able to meet the biggest figure in the future film industry!
Song Yingying helped Li Yi hold the necessary supplies, followed him closely, and reminded from the side: "Don't be nervous later, I see you have been doing quite well in boxing recently."
Speaking of this, Song Yingying also felt strange. Li Yi goes out early and comes back late every day these days, is it just for boxing?
How could he have known in advance that he was going to audition for this action movie?
After a while, Zhang Manfen softly called to the person sitting in front of the monitor: "Brother Jing! Brother Jing, Xiaoyi is here."
The crew had noticed Li Yi and his group for a long time, but they didn't seem to have much expectation.
After all, they don’t need fresh meat!
This is a fist-fighting military-themed movie, and it can’t be made by just looking for a good-looking movie star!
Therefore, they were sure that director Wu Jing, who was always strict in selecting people, would never want Li Yi as an actor.
After Wu Jing listened, she first took off her headphones, then smiled gently and said, "Hello, I'm Wu Jing."
"Li Yi." Li Yi shook hands with him.
A simple greeting made Li Yi feel that Wu Jing had no airs.
Although he is not very famous now, compared to himself, he is still a senior, so this attitude is enough to show that Wu Jing is approachable.
Wu Jing took out the script of "Wolf Warrior" and asked Li Yi to go to a private room to talk with him.
On the way, Wu Jing asked: "Do you know what we are shooting this time?"
"I know, "Wolf Warrior"." Li Yi answered.
"Well, yes, "Wolf Warrior"" Wu Jing continued to flip through the script and said kindly: "Then do you know what kind of actors are needed for "Wolf Warrior"?"
Hearing this, Li Yi stopped.
Wu Jing took two steps and found that Li Yi was not following her, so she turned back, feeling a little confused.
Li Yi smiled: "I know what Brother Wu Jing is thinking in his heart. I am thinking that maybe I can act with my face and my traffic, so I can act on some love-related themes."
"This is also what many people think, but unfortunately, I am not." Li Yi's eyes were very firm: "I am a powerful person."
Wu Jing was curious.
Over the years, he has seen a lot of young celebrities, many of whom bluntly say that they are traffic stars and they only rely on their reputation to make a living.
Some people even think that if I can rely on my face to make a living, why should I rely on my acting skills?
So it can be said that Wu Jing has always disliked young meat.
Even though I used to be the same.
Now that he heard Li Yi's words, he was a little surprised: "Then how do you prove that you are a powerful faction?"
"Let's fight." Li Yi shrugged and said calmly.
"A fight?" Wu Jing was confused by his words.
Li Yi nodded: "Yes, I can't beat you in a fight, but I feel like you won't win easily either."
At this time, a staff member from the crew walked by and reminded Li Yi in a low voice: "Brother Yi, our Director Jing has entered the Kyoto City Wushu Team, and also won the National Wushu Competition Elite Spearmanship and Sparring Championship!
Stop making trouble!"
Wu Jing said nothing and continued to look at Li Yi with a smile and squinted eyes.
He was wondering if Li Yi would choose to continue the challenge if he heard what he just said.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi affirmed again: "I know all this. If you don't fight with powerful people, how can you make progress?"
"Okay!!! Haha!!" Wu Jing laughed and patted Li Yi on the shoulder, "Come on, there is a boxing room set up here. Let's have a fight and let the entire crew be the referee!"
Wu Jing was originally a sweet-tempered person, and when she saw Li Yi being so frank, she felt happy.
If you're a man, hit him if you want. What's the point of whining?!
beat!
When the news that Li Yi wanted to challenge Wu Jing spread to the entire crew, Song Yingying's eyes widened.
Song Yingying hurriedly shouted: "Is he crazy? Didn't we let him audition?"
She was busy asking Zhang Manfen, wanting her to stop Li Yi's stupid behavior.
What should I do if I get injured?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Manfen was very calm. She comforted Song Yingying: "It's okay. Don't worry. Wu Jing is a measured person and will let Li Yi do it. Moreover, Li Yi works in a proper manner and will not act randomly without reason."
Song Yingying suddenly felt that Zhang Manfen and she were talking about the same person?
Do things with caution? In the last financial research meeting, I scolded the manager of Jingduoduo; I went to a restaurant and was photographed by paparazzi; I went to a movie theater and my whereabouts were leaked.
Is this called messing around without any reason?
Song Yingying sighed, why do they all have to protect that bastard!
