Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 102 Gift 1

Huang Min subconsciously sat up straight.

Not long ago, the actor named Nie Cheng gave a very good performance, but I didn't expect Zhou Bo to be even better. Not only were his emotions on point, but his micro-expressions were also very nuanced.

"Teacher Zhou Bo, would you mind performing a set of boxing moves?"

The performance was fine.

Huang Min then made this request.

That night, after looking through the information of these washed-up male actors, he specifically looked through the action scenes that this actor named Zhou Bo had filmed before, and the fight scenes were quite entertaining.

I just don't know if his skills have declined over the years.

"it is good"

Zhou Bo was already curious when Director Huang asked him if his martial arts skills had deteriorated. Now, when the director asked him to perform a set of punches, Zhou Bo became even more curious. However, considering that the director might need some action scenes for a character in his next film, Zhou Bo straightened up.

I took a breath.

He performed a set of Baguaquan (Eight Trigrams Fist).

The core of this set of boxing techniques is circling and turning. Zhou Bo's footwork was agile, and his palm-changing movements were extremely precise, with a rhythmic feel like a dance. Su Qing was quite surprised. She was a sixth-degree black belt, so she could tell at a glance that Zhou Bo's set of boxing techniques, which seemed weak and powerless, actually contained hidden strength.

After finishing his punches, Huang Min clapped his hands.

That's impressive skill.

"Teacher Zhou Bo, you played very well."

Su Qing also gave a compliment.

"Thanks"

Zhou Bo quickly thanked him.

Noticing Huang Min giving her a meaningful look, and knowing that he wanted to sign her after working together for a while, Su Qing smiled and stood up, saying, "Teacher Zhou Bo, let's talk somewhere else."

"What am I doing...?"

Zhou Bo was a little unsure what this meant.

"Your performance was fine. Our manager, Ms. Su, has some details we'd like to discuss with you."

Huang Min had no doubts about Su Qing's abilities. After Su Qing and Zhou Bo left, Huang Min picked up his teacup, took a couple of sips of water, and murmured softly, "Zhou Zhou, Zhou Bo, this is a double Zhou!"

As he spoke, even Huang Min himself couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't create such a talent. At most, he could create two powerful actors for Dong Sheng Film Company. To create two actors like Stephen Chow... it was impossible to even think about it. Some actors can be replicated, but some actors cannot be replicated, especially Stephen Chow.

That kind of performance style is so unique, only one like it has appeared in a hundred years. Other actors who try to imitate it would be incredibly embarrassing.

By the time Huang Min finished auditioning the remaining male actors, it was already five o'clock. More than thirty people had been notified today, but only more than twenty showed up. It was obvious that some of the actors were either doing well now and had no intention of acting again, or they couldn't let go of their pride. It was also possible that some of the actors felt that this movie was not worthwhile and were too lazy to come.

Two male actors were cast in today's auditions.

One is Zhou Bo.

The other one is Nie Cheng.

Huang Min was worried that the remaining actors, whose roles were not important, might not be willing to take on the part. However, he would have to ask the company to call and inquire. If they were willing to accept lower pay and less screen time, Huang Min would prefer to use these actors.

Tomorrow is the audition for actresses.

The role of the murderer is also not very big. Huang Min has already sent the script to Hu Yu. The role is also not very big. If Hu Yu cannot get leave from school during the filming period, Huang Min can take advantage of his Sundays and National Day holidays to finish filming his scenes.

Entering the office, Huang Min didn't see Zhou Bo and asked, "How did the talks go?"

"I'll go back and discuss it with my wife."

Su Qing replied, then asked, "Very promising!?"

Su Qing also couldn't understand Huang Min's criteria for judging the artists he signed. Huang Min laughed and said, "Don't you think he's a bit too old? He's over forty. Even if his martial arts are good, it's impossible for him to film any high-intensity action scenes at that age."

"This is a fact."

Su Qing did not refute.

"You're mistaken. I'm preparing for future action scenes. The difficult stunts can be done by a stunt double. Don't you think his boxing moves are very pleasing to the eye? That's enough. The key point is that signing him also allows him to work as a martial arts instructor. Right now, Dong Sheng Film Industry is in need of talent. Someone like Zhou Bo, who has good acting skills and can fight, if we don't sign him in advance, we won't be able to sign him once he becomes famous with a certain role."

Huang Min handed the documents he had ticked to Su Qing, then took out his watch to check the time. Seeing that it was almost time for Dong Sheng Film Studio to close, he smiled and said, "Let's go! I'll have to trouble Manager Su to take me home."

"I really don't know why you paid Uncle Zheng for this!?"

Su Qing replied, somewhat speechless.

"Once this movie starts filming, Uncle Zheng will have to go with me to another city for a while. Let him spend more time with his family while we're not filming now."

Su Qing and I arrived at the underground parking lot of the office building one after the other.

Aside from its slightly out-of-the-way location, the detached office building that Su Qing rented was quite nice. It was well-decorated, had several floors, and could accommodate more than a hundred employees for work and dining at the same time. Huang Min guessed that the reason Su Qing rented such a large space was because she was considering the future development scale of Dongsheng Film Industry.

As he spoke, Huang Min remembered something and asked, "When will the public minister you hired be able to start work?!"

"I've already submitted my resignation to my former company, and I'll be able to come over in a month."

Su Qing replied.

Shortly after, Su Qing drove Huang Min out of the company's underground parking garage. After driving for about ten minutes, Huang Min realized that Su Qing wasn't taking the route to his home. Huang Min asked, "Where are you going?!"

"I've eaten at your house so many times with your sister's cooking, I should give her a gift. I forgot to pick it up this morning, so I'm going back to get it now."

Su Qing replied calmly.

"So you mean you're taking me to your house?"

Huang Min laughed and said, "Then let's go see what the living conditions of the general manager of Dongsheng Film Industry are like. If they're bad, you can use your share of the revenue sharing to buy a house. House prices aren't expensive now; two or three million can buy a very nice one. It's better to buy your own place to live than to rent..."

Don't try to persuade me to buy a house.

Su Qing interrupted Huang Min: "Everyone has different ideas. Renting has its advantages. If you stay in one place for a long time, you can move to another place. If you buy, you have to live there for a lifetime. I don't like being tied down or trapped in one place for too long. That would be very tiring."

"Your idea is quite strange."

Huang Min was somewhat surprised.

"You just don't understand yet. Once you do, you'll realize there are many people in this society who can afford to buy a house but choose to rent!"

Su Qing replied.

Huang Min had assumed that Su Qing's rented place would be far from Dong Sheng Film Studio, but after Su Qing drove into a residential complex called "Jing'an Apartment" in about ten minutes, Huang Min smiled and asked, "You chose such a close location for Dong Sheng Film Studio just because it's near your home, right?"

"You have a dark side."

Su Qing parked her car in a parking space in front of a high-rise apartment building. She got out of the car and said, "I'll be down in a few minutes. You wait in the car for a bit."

"My boss came to your building, and you didn't even invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Huang Min chuckled and made a joke.

Seeing that Huang Min was still sitting in the car after she had taken a few steps and seemed to have no intention of getting out, Su Qing gestured with her hand: "Didn't you want to have tea? Then let's go!"
