This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

Chapter 31, A Gentle Cut

"This Guihai Yidao isn't just about good action scenes. You need to focus on your acting skills, have something outstanding, and make the director remember you. How can you bring out the character's traits and highlights... Hey, why are you pulling me?" Huang Xiaoming was still talking when his manager pulled him away.

"Mr. Xiang is calling you, could you please answer the call?"

"Eh, godfather? Okay..."

He dared not ignore his godfather's call, so he could only tell Li Qing that he would see her the next day.

Li Qing smiled and waved goodbye.

Of course, after being pulled away, the agent told Huang Xiaoming that it wasn't a phone call, but rather a complaint.

"How can you explain audition techniques to your rival... he's your competitor!"

"Huh? That's it?"

Huang Xiaoming was speechless.

The real reason is that Huang Xiaoming is also a little jealous of Li Qing.

After filming wrapped up for Yin Zhiping's scenes, Yu Jian had been somewhat unenthusiastic, especially when filming action scenes.

The way they looked at them was as if they were trash.

This almost made Huang Xiaoming depressed. He's the male lead! Look at my acting skills! Look at my Yang Guo! Stop focusing on the action scenes!

In fact, that fight scene raised Yu Jian's threshold, causing him to lose interest in filming fight scenes afterward and constantly mention Yin Zhiping in every other sentence.

Huang Xiaoming felt very bitter!

He wanted to get his revenge and regain some peace of mind.

Of course, despite his sour feelings, Huang Xiaoming still had a decent impression of Li Qing.

Giving acting advice to younger generations in the entertainment industry isn't something that can't be done, is it?

Moreover, Huang Xiaoming knew that his biggest competitor was Ye Huajian, a rising star actor from Taiwan.

In Taiwan, Ye Huajian has considerable appeal in terms of viewership ratings, and his acting skills are also excellent.

He's the real opponent!

"Hey, you really shouldn't have tried for the third male lead role. You're already at the level of playing the male lead..."

"Why, you ask?"

Why?

"Because Guihai Yidao is so handsome, it's like he was tailor-made for me." Huang Xiaoming paused and said, "I think he's much more handsome than Yang Guo, the Condor Hero."

"I think..."

"Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think."

Huang Xiaoming emphasized.

The agent didn't say anything.

Well, what can you do when someone has so many resources? And what can you do when someone is President Xiang's godson?

......

"Hey, I've figured it out. You don't necessarily have to take this role. You just need to show your face and present your best self."

Jiang Chenggang suddenly understood.

It might be a bit risky for him to get this role, given that so many big shots are eyeing it.

However, the fact that he was able to appear in front of a famous director is genuine and undeniable.

Even if you don't defeat Guihai Yidao this time, being remembered is a victory in itself.

I won't disturb your rest any longer. You get ready. Goodnight.

Good night, you should get some rest too.

Jiang Chenggang went back to his room to sleep, preparing hangover medicine so he could go out for drinks and try to get closer to the person tomorrow.

Behind every successful actor is a dedicated agent who works tirelessly in the world of fame and fortune...

At night in the hotel, Li Qing turned on the lights and looked at the biographical sketches in his hand.

I've roughly sorted out the character "Guihai Yidao".

Taciturn, sparing with words, and seemingly cold and ruthless.

Bearing a deep-seated blood feud, the martial arts he learned were those of a heartless, ruthless, and loveless swordsman.

He had a sense of morality, yet he was sent by the Divine Marquis to learn the Way of Heartlessness.

But even this man with a blood feud and deep-seated hatred has a tender love in his heart. However, that tender love is not enough to overcome his domineering desire for revenge.

A very miserable image of a chivalrous hero.

But Li Qing still struggled to grasp the essence of the character.

There is no way to know Guihai Yidao's 'soul'.

Without a "soul," there's no way to simulate, no way to "get into character," and no way to master your immersive techniques.

This isn't a character I'm familiar with, so I can't easily grasp their essence.

Feeling bored, Li Qing picked up her phone.

"So tired, so tired. I've been recuperating at home lately, sob sob, it's so painful, o(╥﹏╥)o."

"Is the injury serious?"

"Thankfully, I twisted my ankle while filming. Oh well, what can I do? I'm just not very strong. You guys who practice martial arts every day are really amazing and work so hard!"

Li Qing thought for a moment and typed quickly.

"Oh, you'll get used to it (pats head)."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm reading the character profile now. I have my audition tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll pass."

"Oh, I heard from Brother Xiaoming that you're going to audition for the role of Guihai Yidao in 'The Best in the World.' It's a pity the female lead role has already been decided, otherwise I would like to give it a try too. (｀ﾍ´)."

I heard that Guihai Yidao and the female lead are a couple!

"This show is quite famous."

"Yeah! Big production, big investment, actors from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing—there's a saying, what's it again... (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!! I forgot!"

"Let's join hands in this grand undertaking."

"Yes, that's it!"

Ok.

It seems this role is indeed in high demand.

As Jiang Chenggang said, he thought the chances of getting this role were slim.

There are too many choices.

For the time being, Li Qing failed to grasp Gui Haiyi's soul.

However, I remembered what Huang Xiaoming had said during the day.

The goal is to bring out the unique characteristics of the character Gui Hai Yi Dao so that the writers and directors will remember him.
