Chapter 330 Fighting for a Role

Jiang Muyang quickly explained, "The company belongs to you and Sister Xiao. You two are a perfect match, making a lot of money together and working hard for the company's future development. What if Zhang Zhengjie sets his sights on the company and coaxes Sister Xiao to go against you, alienating her from you, and instigating you to be kicked out of the company so he can take over as the boss? This kind of thing is not uncommon in other places! I suspect he wants to sign with Shengshi because he's eyeing your position, Mr. Huang. This guy has a wolf's heart, so you have to be on guard, Mr. Huang."

Jiang Muyang became more and more excited as he spoke, bringing up all sorts of secrets in the imperial harem and examples of power struggles in ancient times. He then said seriously, "Mr. Huang, you must believe this. Many careers are ruined not by competitors, but by the whispers of your own people. You must learn from history!"

Huang Yuliang had already frowned after hearing this. "You should listen to less messy gossip in the future."

After saying that, Huang Yuliang went to the assessment site, where the assessment had already begun.

Nie Jinlong chose a high platform two meters above the ground and asked the artists to jump down.

Most people can jump from this height. Nie Jinlong gave a demonstration, mainly showing how to jump well for the camera and how to protect himself when landing so as not to injure his legs.

After Nie Jinlong finished his demonstration, Yuan An'er was the first to go up and perform.

She added a move to herself. When she jumped down from the platform, she jumped one meter high, then did a front flip in mid-air. She landed gracefully and steadily.

Hu Xiaoxiao saw this from below and couldn't help but clap his hands to express his appreciation.

Seeing the outstanding artists, Hu Xiaoxiao's mood had already improved.

Jiang Muyang squeezed up from the back and squeezed next to Hu Xiaoxiao, and quickly told Hu Xiaoxiao his previous decision: "Sister Xiao, I choose to be in a play with you. No matter how many scenes there are, it is my blessing to be able to film with Sister Xiao. I think I should cherish my blessing."

Hu Xiaoxiao asked him, "Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through!" Jiang Muyang assured again and again, "I'll act the way Sister Xiao tells me to. I'll be absolutely dedicated and obedient."

"Okay." Hu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Then I'll give you the male lead. However, your Hong Kong dialect still has an accent, so you need to practice it well. When the script comes out, memorize your lines and pronounce them word for word."

"I promise to do it!" Jiang Muyang saluted, his eyes smiling like crescent moons. "Not only will I learn Hong Kong dialect well, I will also do perfectly in the upcoming assessment."

"There is no action scene in your role," said Hu Xiaoxiao.

When Jiang Muyang heard that he had no action scenes in the action movie, he wondered how marginal his role was. He was a little disappointed, but then he thought, everything is difficult at the beginning, so having a role is good enough. Forget about the rest, he should not be picky.

Thinking of this, Jiang Muyang's brows relaxed again. He went over to stand with the familiar artists and started chatting with them.

"Mu Yang, do you want to design a move for the assessment later? The move Yuan An'er designed just now was very beautiful. I also want to design one, but my martial arts skills are not good enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well and might even sprain my ankle."

"Me? I don't need to take the test. Ahem, Sister Xiao just gave the order to let me be the male lead." Jiang Muyang happily announced the good news to them.

Jiang Muyang is good-looking, has a good temper, and loves to laugh. His smile is affectionate and he looks very marketable. The company's artists, especially the female artists, like to play with him. When they heard that he had quietly won the male lead, they all gathered around him to learn from him.

"You can't learn this, it's all thanks to my good looks."

A clever male artist sensed something was wrong and offered advice, "You're the male lead, but you don't have to take the assessment? Does that mean you don't have to do any action scenes? Sister Xiao's film is an action film, and you, the male lead, don't have any action scenes? Oh, I get it. You only rely on your looks to get the leading role, what a vase!"

Jiang Muyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the male artist, named Yu Liang, who joined the company after him. Although he looked good, he was a little lacking in aura and temperament. His strengths lay in his acting skills and his plasticity.

Such artists are destined to have a hard time becoming the leading man, as they cannot control themselves in front of the camera and their aura is easily overwhelmed. However, they can easily stand out in supporting roles.

Yu Liang and Jiang Muyang have always been at odds.

In acting and other studies, Yu Liang is better than Jiang Muyang.

However, Jiang Muyang relied on his good looks, and from the moment he joined the company, his boss decided to promote him as the protagonist. And he was destined to be a supporting role.

Therefore, Yu Liang disliked Jiang Muyang. And Jiang Muyang, why would he be nice to others when they were targeting him?

"Yu Liang, you can't eat grapes again and you think they're sour? You're sour, keep on being sour, it's useless no matter how sour you are. I'm just better looking than you, I'm more popular than you, and I was born to eat the protagonist's meal."

Yu Liang laughed. How can you be a man if you rely on your looks? A real man relies on his strength!

Yu Liang walked up to the platform, took a deep breath, then jumped up, and landed beautifully with a side flip, which won him a lot of applause.

Yu Liang glanced at Hu Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuliang secretly, and saw that both bosses noticed him. Hu Xiaoxiao even clapped his hands to express his satisfaction, and he immediately felt relieved.

What's the point of a gigolo? Tough guys are king in the film industry. A man uses his beauty to please a man, but when his beauty fades, his love for him fades. When a new, younger and more handsome man comes along, the old gigolo has to go.

After the high platform landing performance, the next scene is a chase scene.

Yu Liang was the first to perform the chase scene, supporting himself with one hand and leaping over the railing. His movements were smooth and natural. He ran up and down with a sense of ease, performing several difficult moves with ease.

Received applause.

Yu Liang took the opportunity to come to Hu Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister Xiao, can you give me a role in the new film? I can also do more difficult actions."

Hu Xiaoxiao felt that Yu Liang was an artist with great potential, willing to learn and capable, so she was happy to support him: "Sure, learn more from Director Nie. There's a role with a lot of scenes and heavy action scenes. You can try to get it."

When Yu Liang heard this, he realized that there were quite a lot of scenes, and a lot of them were action scenes. Doesn't that mean that he had more scenes than that pretty boy Jiang Muyang?

"Don't worry, Sister Xiao, I will definitely strive for it!"

Back to the artists, Yu Liang specifically showed off to other artists next to Jiang Muyang that he also got a role, with a lot of lines and action scenes, and it was obvious that he was playing an important role.

"Action movies must have action scenes." As Yu Liang spoke, he glanced at Jiang Muyang.

Jiang Muyang smiled, pretending not to hear, but a competitive spirit welled up inside. It's just an action scene. If it doesn't exist in this one, it will definitely be in the next one. Isn't it just practice? He'll start practicing basic skills with Nie Zhi tomorrow.
