"Gu Qi, I just received news that Xingyun Entertainment has notified all martial arts academies related to the entertainment industry, and no one of them is allowed to cooperate with you..." Director Zhang looked melancholy.
Even before the filming of the drama started, he had already felt Xingyun Entertainment's multi-faceted ban on Gu Qi.
Gu Qi was calm about this.
"I've already taken care of the extras."
Director Zhang was slightly startled.
"Done? Who did you find as extras? All the extras in "The Soul of the Tang Dynasty" have to perform war scenes!"
Gu Qi looked at the text message from Liu Chun on her phone and saw that Qi's father had agreed.
Liu Chunzheng asked her anxiously when filming would start.
Gu Qi said smoothly: "I am looking for students from Lingyun Military Academy."
Director Zhang: “????”
Gu Qi sent a message back and asked Liu Chun to wait for notification.
When she raised her eyes again, she found Director Zhang looking at her with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qi.
Director Zhang: "You said you hired students from Lingyun Military Academy to be extras??!!"
"right."
Director Zhang covered his chest.
"Do you think there's anything inappropriate?" Gu Qi asked uncertainly.
Director Zhang took a deep breath.
"Not suitable? No, no, no! This is so suitable! How on earth did you do it?"
Director Zhang was so excited that he wanted to cry.
I thought that students from the martial arts academy were already the top performers in martial arts dramas.
But even after beating him to death, he never expected that Gu Qi could directly invite the students of Lingyun Military Academy!!
"They must be expensive, right?"
Gu Qi: "In a sense, it is very expensive..."
Every inch of time is worth every inch of gold.
Money cannot buy time.
Although she spent no money, she spent a lot of time!
Director Zhang breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Now that the extras are settled, the next issue is the actors."
In the drama "The Soul of the Tang Dynasty", most of them are war scenes. Although the roles of other characters are not many, they are also crucial.
Needless to say, Gu Qi must be the heroine.
But other roles have not been finalized yet.
"I'm going to contact the actors who were dropped from "Shanhezhong" before. They all have good acting skills." Director Zhang already has a rough candidate in mind.
Gu Qi supported her chin with one hand and looked at Director Zhang who was very interested.
"I think they might not come to the show."
Director Zhang waved his hand.
"How is it possible? Such a good script. Although they are not well-known, they are all capable. I believe this script is enough to impress them."
Gu Qi shrugged and said nothing more.
But when Director Zhang contacted several actors one after another, the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
After several calls in a row, Director Zhang really couldn't laugh anymore.
Director Zhang raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qi.
Gu Qi looked understanding.
"Xingyun Entertainment should not let them cooperate with me."
Director Zhang nodded stiffly.
Those actors had originally heard that they were going to film a new movie with them, and all of them were extremely enthusiastic.
But when they found out that the new movie was planned to be filmed by Gu Qi, they all found various weird reasons and rejected it directly.
"It's quite normal. Even the martial arts school said hello. There's no reason why Xingyun Entertainment wouldn't notify other agencies." Gu Qi shrugged, not surprised at all by this result.
"But...what will we do if there are no actors?" Director Zhang was depressed.
All the students from the military academy were invited to act as extras, but as a result, no artists could be found to play other roles.
