Chapter 14: Forced to the fore
...
Maybe it was because he hadn't touched a woman for almost three years, and just when he had a little intimacy with Qi Qiaoqiao, Xu Kai's heart was aroused.
After quickly reciting the "Qing Xin Jue" silently several times, Xu Kai finally drove Qi Qiaoqiao's hot body out of his mind.
However, just as he calmed down, Xu Kai unconsciously shifted his gaze to Tian Haitang.
"The clothes are so high, this little girl seems to have quite a lot of body."
…
More than an hour later.
Xu Yun, Tian Youfu and Xu Lixiong came back in high spirits.
Seeing this, Cui Min and others hurried over to meet them.
"What's the matter, Uncle Xu, has the contract been signed?" Chen Tao, the most unsophisticated, asked hurriedly.
Pulling the contract out of his briefcase, Xu Yun immediately turned back into the high-spirited group leader, Old Xu. He said to Cui Min and the others proudly, "Except for those who are already in the crew, I, Old Xu, will be the one to find extras for the Escape crew in the future!"
"real?"
Although things seemed to be a done deal, Cui Min still found it a little hard to believe.
"Take it out and let them broaden their horizons." Xu Yunchong said to Xu Li.
After hearing this, Xu Li placed the labor contract and script that he had been holding in his hands in front of him.
Xu Yong pointed with his thumb at the labor contract and script held by Xu Li: "I am now officially informing you that Xu Li has signed a contract with the 30 million action blockbuster "Escape". He plays the role of Officer Liang, a corrupt policeman under Yu Lianying, equivalent to the fifth male lead. His role has three scenes and 21 lines, and he can also act with the big star Ji Zhaode!"
Jing Guangwei and Chen Tao were very excited when they heard this, as if they were the ones who got the role.
But this is normal. Jing Guangwei and Chen Tao are not fools. How could they not understand that Xu Li got the fifth male role in "Escape", which means that what Xu Yun just said is true, and they can also get the opportunity to act in "Escape", a medium-to-large-scale production with an investment of 30 million?
"Congratulations, Brother Li, you've become famous, but don't forget us!"
"Yes, Brother Li, we will follow you from now on."
Xu Li was also very excited. No, that's not accurate enough. It should be said that Xu Li was very excited. After ten years in the industry, he could finally play a decent role. Moreover, he was starring in a big movie with an investment of 30 million yuan. This was definitely a milestone in his career.
However, Xu Li also knew that he was able to get this opportunity because his elder brother Xu Kai fought for him and even gave it to him.
Xu Li walked to Xu Kai and said, "Brother..."
"We are brothers, so let's not be polite to each other." Xu Kai interrupted Xu Li with a smile.
Xu Li didn't act pretentiously anymore. He just nodded heavily: "Yeah."
After being excited for a while, Chen Tao said, "I will go tell Xiang Chun and Xiaohui the good news." Then he wanted to find Xiang Chun and Wang Xiaohui who had left.
"Those who cannot share adversity are not qualified to share wealth." Xu Kai said calmly.
This opportunity was obtained by Xu Kai.
Xu Kai didn't want Xiang Chun and Wang Xiaohui, who had left, to come back. Who would dare to plead for Xiang Chun and Wang Xiaohui? Besides, if you think about it carefully, Xiang Chun and Wang Xiaohui abandoned them and ran away when they encountered some setbacks. It's not worth their help.
So Chen Tao quickly retracted his foot.
Everyone else shut their mouths too.
Seeing the depressing atmosphere, Xu Yun said to Xu Kai: "By the way, I also got you a chance to get a role."
"When Director Lin talked to me about you, I specifically told him that you are the 18th generation descendant of Fuyaozi, and you have practiced Kung Fu for more than ten years. You still meditate every day and never put down your fists. Director Lin said that you have a good image and your Kung Fu must be not bad. You can also go to him for an audition. If you perform well enough, he can give you a role."
"This role doesn't take up Xu Li's spot as the fifth male lead."
"How about it, your father, I have strong business ability, right?"
When Xu Kai heard this, he felt a headache.
Xu Yun had no idea that Lin Da had just invited Xu Kai to star in "Escape".
Moreover, because Xu Kai was unwilling to take part in the performance, Lin Da also said that as long as Xu Kai's kung fu and acting skills were good enough, he would be willing to play the villain Yu Lianying.
But Xu Kai still said without even considering it: "I didn't ask for this supporting role for myself, but for my brother. I don't plan to be an actor."
Xu Kai is preparing to return to the entertainment industry.
But Xu Kai set the goal for himself to work behind the scenes, not to step onto the stage and become a star.
For example, being a composer, screenwriter or director.
If it really doesn't work, you can do coordination or field management for a while to make the transition.
If you can't even find a job as a coordinator or stage manager, you can work as a lighting technician, photographer, artist or special effects artist for a while.
At worst, you can just put on some makeup for a while.
And forget about being an actor.
Celebrities have no personal freedom.
Once he steps onto the stage, Xu Kai has to be careful with his words and actions.
This is what Xu Kai doesn't want, as he has had enough of the constraints and doesn't want to stay in the entertainment industry forever.
However, things went against one's wishes. The more Xu Kai was reluctant to step forward, the more the mad Lin Da wanted to see how capable Xu Kai was.
In order to achieve this goal, Linda actually asked Xu Yun to tell Xu Kai: "It is a good story for a family to act out a play together. I happen to be a person who pursues perfection."
Then Xu Kai asked and found out that neither Xu Yun's contract for extras nor Xu Li's labor contract had been stamped by the "Escape" crew.
Linda’s original words were: “Don’t worry, wait until Yu Qingyun signs the contract, then you can go and stamp it together.”
Even the 100,000 yuan that Xu Kai had already earned, Xu Yun and Xu Li had not yet helped Xu Kai collect it.
How could Xu Kai, a worldly-wise man, not only be able to know that Lin Da was threatening him? If he didn't go for the audition, not only would he not want these people in his family, making them all disappointed, but he might have to go through a lot to get his 100,000 yuan back.
There was no way out. Xu Kai, whose weak spot was caught by Lin Da, could only follow Xu Yun and others to see Lin Da.
"Director Lin, what do you think I can do?" Xu Kaixin asked reluctantly.
"Let's have a fight with Mr. Yuan first." Linda said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiaoliang immediately began to stretch his arms and legs to prepare himself.
Others may not know this, but Yuan Xiaoliang, who has practiced martial arts for many years and served as a martial arts instructor for many years, knows it very well in his heart. Xu Kai, who can easily jump from the roof of the No. 23 filming building to the balcony of the No. 24 filming building, must be no ordinary master, at least in terms of Qinggong. Moreover, Xu Kai may be the legendary master of Qinggong who can dodge bullets 20 meters away.
People who are proficient in Qinggong often do not just practice Qinggong; their other skills should not be underestimated.
So Yuan Xiaoliang must go all out.
On the other side, seeing that Xu Kai was going to fight with Yuan Xiaoliang, Xu Kai, Cui Min and Xu Li were all a little worried.
"Director Yuan has been learning the Twelve-Movement Tan Leg since he was young. He once won the 65kg free-fighting championship in Hong Kong and Province. He is a master with strong practical combat ability. Big brother, can you do it?" Xu Li reminded Xu Kai.
"How can a man say he is incompetent?" Xu Kai said with a smile.
"Son, why don't you stop fighting? At worst we just won't take this job," said Cui Min.
"Don't try to be so stubborn. Even if I don't want to be the leader of a group, I can still be a member of an extra. It is more important than anything else that my family is safe and sound." Xu Yun also said.
"Don't worry, he definitely can't beat me." Xu Kai said confidently.
After all, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death fight.
Therefore, with Xu Kai's confident words, Xu Yun, Cui Min and Xu Li could only wait and see.
"Director Yuan, how do you think we should fight?" Xu Kai came to Yuan Xiaoliang and asked.
"My only requirement is that you play beautifully. I won't restrict you in any other way."
Yuan Xiaoliang said, and then started to prepare.
Xu Kai nodded, and then suggested: "How about we put on protective gear?"
