"Brother Bing, where are you running?"

At noon, Ding Xiu called Yuan Bing, and the female assistant answered the call. After a while, he heard Yuan Bing's panting voice.

"What are you running for? Get lost." It took Yuan Bing two seconds to realize what Ding Xiu meant: "I'm working."

He was designing martial arts moves, but he couldn't do this with a pen. He had to go out and practice martial arts in person, breaking down the moves over and over again, and practicing over and over again.

After the tricks are formed, record them with a camera. Practice them yourself first and then teach them to the actors.

Generally, they have to design dozens of sets of movements for a group, which is a very heavy workload.

Ding Xiu smiled evilly: "I understand, I understand."

"What do you need from me?"

"Hum, that's true. Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"If it's okay, can you call me brother?"

"That's true. I heard that you are the martial arts instructor of Tian Long Ba Bu?"

The sound of drinking water could be heard over there. Yuan Bing took a breath and said, "If you don't want to call me, I will call you in a few days."

"Dragon Movie has many characters and a big investment. If you come here, you will definitely have a place."

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up: "Brother Bing, which role do you think I am suitable for?"

Yuan Bing pondered for a while and said: "The three main male protagonists in this drama are Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu. Without a doubt, the most interesting one is Qiao Feng."

"But your age is not appropriate. Qiao Feng was already thirty years old when he appeared. No matter how much you put on makeup, you can't look that aged."

"And I heard that the person chosen by Zhang Jizhong for this role was Hu Jun, and there was no chance for anyone else."

Hu Jun?

Ding Xiu has heard of this name. Not only has he heard of it, but he and Gao Yuanyuan have also watched his movie.

He is already a movie star in his thirties and is a very powerful actor.

"So I can only choose between Xu Zhu and Duan Yu?"

"Yes." Yuan Bing's breath became much calmer and he said slowly: "But you have to think clearly, Xu Zhu is a monk. With Zhang Jizhong's virtue, this character must have his head shaved."

Touching his long flowing hair, Ding Xiu couldn't bear to go bald: "Then it's just Duan Yu. Is he the third male lead?"

"Your age is indeed suitable for Duan Yu." Yuan Bing nodded and said: "But this is not the third male lead. Xu Zhu and Duan Yu have similar roles. Who is the second male lead and who is the third male lead depends on the actor who plays the role.

It’s a big place.”

Ding Xiu understood, the crew watched the food being served.

Which actor is more famous will have his name brought forward when it is broadcast.

Just like Swordsman, Lin Pingzhi was originally the second male lead because he was not well-known. After the show was aired later, Wei Zi's name was in front of him in the cast list.

"Okay, then I will play Duan Yu."

"Brother, don't tell me. It's no big deal. I'm neither a producer nor a director. You have to come and audition."

Ding Xiu smiled awkwardly: "I was just talking casually. By the way, if the crew has any good female characters, I have a good friend who also wants to audition."

"There are more female characters in Dragon Ball than there are male leads. You ask your "good friend" to submit a resume first. I will be there during the audition."

Among Jin Yong's novels, the two with the most female characters are The Legend of the Dragon and The Deer and the Cauldron.

From Wang Yuyan to Azi, Azhu, Kang Min, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Dao Baifeng, Ruan Xingzhu, Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, and Abi, there are not too many female characters in Tianlong.

"Thanks, I'll treat you to a drink another day."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiu went to the attic in the backyard, dug out Demi-Gods and Dragons in the study room on the second floor, and sat in front of the small window to read.

I bought the book yesterday because I didn't have time to read it before Qin Lan arrived.

Sure enough, beauty is misleading.

Ding Xiu prepared a pen and a piece of paper. Starting from the first page, Ding Xiu read through the lines at a glance, occasionally excerpting notes.

Now that you have decided to act, how can you not prepare in advance?

He doesn't think that he can act in whatever he wants because of the hit "A Chinese Ghost Story".

There are many more popular people in the market than him.

Just like Qin Gang said, he has to fight for service and price.

Just like the girls in the club, in addition to competing for price, they also have to compete for beauty and skills.

The price can be negotiated, and beauty is natural, but the skills need to be practiced.

Otherwise, Fang Zhongyong will be eliminated by society sooner or later.

"ah!"

At night, the lights in the study were on, and Ding Xiu stretched and yawned.

I have finished reading the novel and have five or six pages of notes densely packed on the paper.

Below each character's name is written character information, the chapter in which they appear, and the number of roles they play.

…

At the end of the year, with heavy snow falling, news about the casting of the "Dragon" series spread like wildfire.

Many actors in the entertainment industry are ready to make a move, and major brokerage companies are showing off their talents. Those who are interested can directly call Zhang Jizhong.

If you have a moderate relationship, you can find a director or assistant director.

It doesn't matter, just wait.

In order to prevent the role from being booked early, Ding Xiu called Zhang Jizhong in advance and expressed his desire to play Duan Yu.

Zhang Jizhong's original words were to ask him to come over and have a look during the audition.

Neither agreed nor refused.

Overall it's a good thing.

In late December, Qin Gang drove Ding Xiu to audition.

"I also wanted Qin Lan to come over, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it."

"You're welcome." Ding Xiu said with his eyes closed in the row behind Santana.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Qin Gang sighed: "What did I say back then? I told you to take it easy and don't put my artist in confinement. How did you promise me?"

As for Ding Xiu and Qin Lan, anyone in the company with eyes can see it.

What's more, Qin Lan hasn't covered up yet, and often opens his mouth to repair his brother, and shuts his mouth to repair his brother.

In other words, men should be unmarried and women should be unmarried, otherwise there would be endless gossip.

Ding Xiu opened his eyes: "I promised you, isn't this not a confinement period?"

Qin Gang: "..."

Is that what you mean?

That's all, the deal is done, there's no point in talking about it.

With Qin Lan's appearance and figure, Wang Baoqiang's heart was moved, let alone LSP Ding Xiu.

"Dragon Movie is a big production team. Even with your recommendation, Qin Lan may not be able to get in. If not, don't force it. I'll make sure you get in first."

Ding Xiu asked Qin Lan to submit her resume, but she did not discuss it with anyone and applied for the female No. 5 Mu Wanqing.

He hoped that Ding Xiu wouldn't be confused, just forget it if he succeeds in the audition, and don't stupidly tell the director that he won't act if Qin Lan doesn't join the cast.

A normal Ding Xiu would be sober, but a young man who fell in love couldn't tell.

It's all about the small head controlling the big head.

When the brain gets hot, everyone becomes angry and becomes a beauty.

Let alone a show, he can even kill people.

"Don't worry, I'm very clear-headed. If I can act, I'll act. If I can't, forget it. I won't get myself involved."

One by one, the two of them chatted all the way to the location where the crew was auditioning for the show.

Throughout the entire process, there was a tacit understanding and there was no mention of Wang Baoqiang.

Baoqiang's side is temporarily useless. Qin Gang has promoted countless crews, but no one wants him.

That face can't play a role.

One story goes that Qin Gang originally signed Bao Qiang to join the company because he had talent for acting.

But after so long, and after spending a lot of resources, he still couldn't get up. He had a little self-doubt, and didn't know whether his original decision was wrong or right.

We both joined the company together, and Ding Xiu started out very quickly.

Now even Qin Lan is getting better. Next year, Love Story of the Tang Dynasty and My Fair Princess will be broadcast and will take off immediately.
