Chapter 324 Go Report
In order to train an artist who could be used as Hu Xiaoxiao right away, Nie Jinlong used his rich experience as a martial arts director to develop various training plans.
Not every artist is suited to martial arts films. Some actors lack coordination and are unable to practice their moves properly, making even fancy moves look awkward. Some actors are afraid of heights and can't handle wirework, while others lack the stamina to perform martial arts roles.
Therefore, Nie Jinlong first screened all the actors, carefully training those who were suitable for martial arts roles, and asking the company to re-plan the development direction of those who were not. Making movies requires a variety of talents, and even in action films, there are roles that do not involve fighting.
Shengshi Entertainment has big ambitions, and it's not just focused on the action film market. The directors the company has hired are a testament to this: some excel at romance, some at suspense, and some at horror. It doesn't matter if you can't act in action films; anything else is fine. As long as you have the acting skills, you'll have no shortage of roles.
Thanks to Hu Xiaoxiao, Shengshi Entertainment boldly recruited a number of new talent. New talent is highly adaptable, fresh-faced, and, more importantly, young, which can help the company generate revenue for several more years. When recruiting new talent, the company lowered its requirements; acting experience wasn't important; as long as they looked good on camera, they were welcome.
If the person interviewing is a veteran actor, the requirements are higher. Acting skills are essential. Without them, everything else is irrelevant. If someone has been in the industry for so many years and hasn't learned any acting skills, it's clear that they're not worth training.
The information of these artists is compiled into a book to facilitate management's understanding of them.
Hu Xiaoxiao has a very comprehensive list of detailed information about the company's artists, including not only information but also photos from all angles.
Hu Xiaoxiao sat in her office, flipping through the documents and studying them one by one.
Huang Yuliang asked her to bring in new talent, but she had the final say on who to bring in and who not to bring in. If the company had an artist she liked, she could bring them in, but if not, she could choose not to bring them in.
Therefore, in the eyes of newcomers, Hu Xiaoxiao has more power than the big boss Huang Yuliang. Big boss Huang Yuliang is only responsible for the development of the company, while Hu Xiaoxiao is the one who decides the artist resources.
Hu Xiaoxiao has been working with Huang Yuliang for some time and is very satisfied with his non-interference in artist matters and his refusal to force her to promote anyone. He believes that a strong division of labor and cooperation, without interfering with each other, will allow the company to achieve further success.
There were three knocks on the office door. Secretary Mia opened the door and came in to report something to Hu Xiaoxiao: "Sister Xiao, the front desk called and there are two ladies who want to see you."
"Who?" Hu Xiaoxiao raised his head from the information and asked.
"One is Miss Xiong, named Xiong Caiwei, and the other is Miss Yuan Aner." Mia said.
Hu Xiaoxiao remembers these two people, who were artists in the same crew when filming "Cheng Zhaofeng". Among them, Xiong Caiwei was a graduate of her dance school. It was because of Xiong Caiwei's experience that she later went to the dance school to recruit several new people.
Yuan An'er had very few scenes in "Cheng Zhaofeng", but her martial arts skills were excellent and she fought very well, which left a deep impression on her.
"Please let them in."
Mia went out and called the front desk, asking them to bring the two ladies in. Then she took Xiong Caiwei and Yuan An'er into the office.
"Principal!" As soon as she entered the office, Xiong Caiwei greeted Hu Xiaoxiao enthusiastically and lively.
Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing and asked them to sit in the living room. "Why are you here?"
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at them for a few seconds and was a little surprised. Xiong Caiwei was actually much darker than before, while Yuan An'er was much whiter than before.
Did they change skin color?
Xiong Caiwei deliberately sat closest to Hu Xiaoxiao, showing closeness and being warm and cheerful. Yuan An'er, on the other hand, followed Xiong Caiwei like a little follower, sitting next to her. "Principal, I heard that Shengshi Entertainment is recruiting artists, right? What do you think of me?"
Xiong Caiwei pointed at herself and recommended herself to Hu Xiaoxiao, saying, "I have acting experience, my acting is pretty good, and I can fight too. After filming 'Cheng Zhaofeng', I specially learned martial arts from An'er for several months. My hands and feet are much stronger now. If you don't believe me, take a look."
After Xiong Caiwei finished speaking, she stood up, walked to the open space and performed a set of boxing techniques.
Although her moves were still a bit superficial and lacked strength, she had made significant progress compared to a few months ago. Her last backflip was well-formed, and she landed very steadily without a split.
Hu Xiaoxiao showed his appreciation, "Not bad, you've made great progress."
"Of course. My hands and feet are sore from training these past few months," Xiong Caiwei said with pride.
The filming of "Cheng Zhaofeng" brought a lot of shock to Xiong Caiwei. When she saw how popular Hu Xiaoxiao was, how capable he was, how hardworking he was, and how hardworking he was, she knew that if she wanted to stand out, she would need to work even harder.
After filming the movie, she became good friends with Yuan An'er and studied with her for several months. With Yuan An'er's guidance, she made rapid progress.
Hu Xiaoxiao really liked Xiong Caiwei's vibrant spirit and asked her, "Didn't you have a company before? Have you terminated your contract?"
"My contract with my previous company expired last month, and I didn't renew it. I wanted to come to Shengshi." Xiong Caiwei looked at Hu Xiaoxiao eagerly and said, "Principal, please sign me. I want to continue studying with you in the future."
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "Filming my drama is very hard and tiring."
"I'm not afraid!" The principal is not afraid of hard work or fatigue, so what is there for her to be afraid of?
Seeing this, Hu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, you can report to the Human Resources Department."
"Great!" Xiong Caiwei jumped up with joy, then saw Yuan An'er and said sheepishly, "Principal, what do you think of An'er? She's a good fighter and isn't afraid of hard work or fatigue. I've watched her apply facial masks every day for the past few months. Look, she's become much whiter and looks better than before."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Yuan An'er, who had been nervous the whole time. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao looking at her, she quickly stood up and said, "I, I will also work hard. I can also play a stunt double, as long as there is work."
Hu Xiaoxiao asked Yuan An'er to come over. She stood up and looked at Yuan An'er from every angle.
Yuan An'er has become much whiter and indeed looks better than before.
Although her facial features and figure are not as photogenic as Xiong Caiwei, she is not unportable. A picky director like Gao Zhiyuan would not have given Yuan An'er a role in "Cheng Zhaofeng" if she really was not photogenic at all.
"Okay, you should also report to the Human Resources Department." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
Yuan An'er couldn't believe it. After a moment's pause, she was sure that she had been accepted. She couldn't help but hug Xiong Caiwei, and then said to Hu Xiaoxiao with red eyes: "Ms. Hu, thank you."
Hu Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "Don't thank me. You have the ability to do this yourself. I believe you will become famous in the future."
