"So, do you want to act or not?" Liu Rulan asked directly.
Hsiao Ho answered honestly, "I don't really want to. I feel there's some risk involved in this drama. And I suspect that Director Hou is also hinting that I should be cautious about choosing this role."
Liu Rulan was deep in thought.
“Over the years, even with big directors, big investments, and all-star casts, quite a few films have flopped,” Xiao He said. “And this is a zombie film, so it’s hard to say whether there’s a market for it in China.”
Moreover, with an all-star lineup and big names in front, these little Karamis are just embellishments; even if they act, they won't get many good shots.
Xiao He felt there was no need to argue; what he wanted was effective shots.
"What you said makes sense."
Liu Rulan stood up decisively. "I will help you find a new script. But you still have to go to this audition. You can't miss anything you need to prepare. I will help you enroll in a swordsmanship class. Even if you don't use it this time, having basic skills will always make you competitive."
"Huh? Do we still have to go?" Xiao He was a little dumbfounded.
Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He sideways: "This audition opportunity is not just an audition, but also a demonstration of resources and capabilities. No matter what you think now, Director Feng's status and position are there. Before everything is settled, his works are good works, and his box office is guaranteed. Being able to participate in his audition is to prove your status and ability."
This is like a threshold; those who can get in must be capable and have connections, while those who can't get in are automatically downgraded.
Even though Xiao He only went in for a short while, the message he conveyed to those in the circle was already different.
This may sound ironic, but that's just how the entertainment industry is.
"Look on the bright side. Maybe this roundabout way will attract you to better scripts," Liu Rulan comforted her.
"All right."
Xiao He sighed deeply.
"Get ready tomorrow and go report to the teacher."
"Huh?" Xiao He was a little surprised, "Start learning now?"
Liu Rulan said matter-of-factly, "Now that you've received the script in advance, you should naturally start preparing! You can't really perform too badly during the audition, can you? I'll have to go to great lengths to save your face then."
Xiao He: "...Alright then."
"Speaking of which, have you learned any other related skills before? I can add them when I make your resume," Liu Rulan continued to inquire.
Xiao He opened his mouth, then hesitated, "There might be quite a lot... But Sister Liu, it's too late today, you should go back first, I'll think about it and tell you later."
Liu Rulan asked in confusion, "If you know it, you know it; if you don't, you don't. Why do you need to think about it?"
Xiao He scratched his head: "Uh...maybe I'll learn it in no time? So in order to prevent me from missing any skills, Sister Liu, why don't you give me more time to recall them?"
Liu Rulan: "...Whatever you want."
She shrugged indifferently: "Classes have to start tomorrow, so don't slack off."
"Okay, okay."
After Liu Rulan left, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the sofa.
I must say, expensive sofas are really comfortable to lie on.
It's a pity that even a comfortable sofa can't change the fact that he's sad now.
If he really missed out on Director Feng's script, who knows when he will be able to find another suitable script.
Xiao He sighed.
Now that he has enough points and no longer needs to worry about life and death, it's not unreasonable for him to dream of a good notebook, right?
After all, the real money he makes now comes from criminal influence, which is much more than the one point he earns by killing people one by one.
Thinking this, Xiao He casually opened his long-forgotten system panel.
He had been waiting for his points to reach 10,000, but he got too busy and forgot about it. Now that the movie has grossed 1.8 billion, his points should be—
