Chapter 264 Ace Bodyguard

"Miss Hu is here!"

"Hello, Miss Hu."

When Hu Xiaoxiao brought Dong Peiyu into Starlight Film and Television, they heard a warm greeting.

As for the gossip in their eyes, it can't be hidden.

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and waved to them gracefully, then walked into the audition room.

In front of the audition room, nine candidates had already arrived. They were originally sitting in twos and threes, but when they saw Hu Xiaoxiao, they all stood up and said, "Hello, Miss Hu."

No matter how much the top celebrities are pessimistic about Hu Xiaoxiao's new film, Hu Xiaoxiao's status is there. If it weren't for the emergence of Brother Hu, I don't know how many people would want to invite her to be the heroine. As long as she doesn't make her own movies and doesn't play the leading role, Hu Xiaoxiao is still very popular in the film industry.

So these newcomers looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with admiration.

The big names look down on this resource, but these newcomers value this opportunity very much. No matter how the film is, being able to partner with Hu Xiaoxiao can raise their status.

Therefore, when they saw Hu Xiaoxiao coming, everyone showed their best.

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at the faces and figures of the nine newcomers one by one, and was a little surprised.

The film industry is very fond of tough guys. The newcomers signed by Starlight Film and Television are not only handsome but also very manly, which meets Hu Xiaoxiao's requirements.

Among them, there was a male artist who was the tallest, with a straight back but a scholarly temperament, which made Hu Xiaoxiao take a second look.

The others are also good. After all, they have been selected to be signed by Starlight Films.

Hu Xiaoxiao did not interview them one by one, but called them all into the audition room to compare them together.

Hu Xiaoxiao has filmed many dramas and has a good relationship with several directors. She learns things very quickly and has learned a lot from the directors. For example, the problem of being on camera -

TV faces are different from movie faces. A good-looking face on TV may not look the same on the movie screen.

Hu Xiaoxiao learned a lot from Zheng Pingxin in this regard. She had previously helped Zheng Pingxin make movies, and it wasn't for nothing. In addition to receiving a share of the box office, she also learned a lot.

This knowledge came in handy today.

Movie actors need to have distinct personal traits, and it would be best if they can be remembered by the audience at first sight.

Hu Xiaoxiao asked nine people to stand in a row, looked at their bone structure and skin, and then observed their facial features from all angles, and picked out the three most recognizable and perfect male artists.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked to the seat and sat down, "Let me take a look at your figures first."

As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the three male artists who were selected took off their T-shirts or shirts without saying a word, revealing their muscular bodies.

There was even one person who was about to unbuckle his belt, but Hu Xiaoxiao stopped him. She just needed to expose the upper part, and there was no need to expose the lower part, as she was shooting a serious film.

"What's your name?" Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes fell on the tallest male artist, who was nearly 186 cm tall and had a scholarly temperament.

Originally, I thought he had a scholarly temperament and would have a scholarly figure, but I didn't expect that he would be so attractive after taking off his clothes.

"Hello, Miss Hu, my name is William, my Chinese name is Cai Yinhua, I just returned to Baogang, and my Baogang dialect is not very standard. I hope Miss Hu can forgive me." William introduced himself in a somewhat unskilled Baogang dialect.

Hu Xiaoxiao listened to William's low voice speaking non-standard Baogang. Unlike the people around him, he did not find it funny. Instead, he asked carefully: "Where did you grow up?"

"In North America." William saw the opportunity and introduced himself very seriously, including which university in North America he graduated from, his major, his interests and hobbies, etc.

It's just that he didn't know how to describe some words in Baogang dialect and it was very difficult for him to say them. After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao ask him to say them mixed with English, he spoke much more fluently.

Hu Xiaoxiao has been in Baogang for so many years, and has seen people speaking English in many occasions. Although she has not studied English specifically, she has learned a lot by listening a lot, and has no problem communicating in some daily expressions.

Hu Xiaoxiao felt a special meaning in William's mixed Hong Kong and English words, and a slight movement in her heart. Then she looked at the other person's face. His smooth, three-dimensional features made him look very photogenic. He loved sports, so he had a first-rate figure. His scholarly temperament was also because he was a top student, having graduated from a top university.

"William, congratulations, you have been selected as the male lead of "The Hitman's Bodyguard."" Hu Xiaoxiao announced.

William's eyes lit up with surprise. He had just returned to Hong Kong, and although he had a good image, he hadn't been given much attention by the company because he didn't speak standard Hong Kong dialect and had no acting experience. He hadn't expected to be chosen by Hu Xiaoxiao today. "Thank you, Ms. Hu. I will definitely play this role well. I will work hard and will not let you down."

The other eight people looked lost and were extremely envious of William.

Hu Xiaoxiao could see from the eight people that they were eager to make progress, so he said, "If you're willing to play minor roles in my film, I'd welcome you. But I want to make it clear to you that Luo Sheng won't be paying anyone for this film. Including William, you, the male lead, won't be paid either. This is Luo Sheng's intention."

So, it’s not that she is stingy, if you want to blame someone, blame that stingy Luo Sheng.

William didn't care at all and immediately said that he was willing to act even without any pay.

As for the male lead, he will partner with Hu Xiaoxiao. Newcomers like them are willing to buy the male lead role even if they have to pay for it.

Of the other eight people, three already had roles to play. Although their roles were small, they were paid. After thinking about it and thinking it would be tiring to run back and forth, they declined.

The whole company knew that Hu Xiaoxiao had no pay for his film. Without pay and not being the male lead, it was obvious that the film was going to be a flop. Three more people refused and planned to rush to audition for other crews.

In the end, only two people besides William were left. One of them was called Ren Xiwen, who had good acting skills. Hu Xiaoxiao was very impressed after watching his performance.

The other one is Zou Xianhai, who comes from a martial arts background. Hu Xiaoxiao asked him to do some boxing. His punches and kicks were powerful and very interesting to watch. He is a good candidate for action movies.

After Hu Xiaoxiao wrote down the characteristics of the three people, he went back and asked Liang Jiafeng to change their characters.

Especially the male protagonist, his character needs to be redesigned.

The original plot of "The Hitman's Bodyguard" is that the male protagonist with great skills serves as a bodyguard for a rich girl, helping the rich girl to withstand numerous pursuers, showing his extraordinary skills and making the rich girl fall in love with him.

The new story is now changed to a scene where the heroine with extraordinary skills protects the handsome rich young master, showing that the heroine is beautiful, cool and good at fighting, and the rich young master is impressed by her.

Hu Xiaoxiao asked Liang Jiafeng to come out and meet William, and changed the character of the male protagonist into a nobleman who had returned from studying abroad, had a gentlemanly temperament, was elegant and handsome, and was more three-dimensional than the previous rich boy character.
