After dealing with Wu Mengda, Su Qingye prepared to look for an actor for Leopard Head.
"Do you know any actors in Heng Store? I want those who look tall and fierce.”Su Qingye asked Wu Mengda.
"Tall and fierce?" Wu Mengda also started to think.
"Yes, there's an actor called Xu Jinjiang who should suit your requirements.”Wu Mengda said immediately.
This person was quite well-known among the extras in Heng Store. He usually painted portraits for the extras. It was said that he studied Chinese painting. Because of his life, he came to Heng Store to play an extra.
However, his appearance was very tall and mighty, so he often received some good roles and even had a few lines.
Wu Mengda brought Su Qingye to another set to look for Xu Jinjiang.
Xu Jinjiang was still drawing at the side. It seemed to be a flower and bird painting.
"Old Xu, let's go. Someone is looking for you to be a substitute, and the price is not low!”
Soon, someone came to ask him to film. Xu Jinjiang immediately ran to the set of the ancient drama with someone.
However, as soon as he arrived at the set, he was asked to take off his clothes. This scene was a stunt double and he was kicked into the water naked.
The original actor did not want to make a fool of himself, so he found him to be a substitute.
"Ah, you still want to take it off?"
Xu Jinjiang was only wearing his underpants, but the director asked him to strip naked.
Xu Jinjiang crossed his arms and felt a little awkward. There were so many requirements for this scene, and he had to take off all his clothes.
However, the director was not that patient."Can you do it or not? If you can't, then let someone else do it. Heng Store doesn't have many other things, but there are many extras.”
"Jinjiang, it's three thousand yuan. Isn't it just taking off my clothes? If it weren't for the fact that I'm too short and thin, I would have wanted to do it. We're all men anyway, so it's fine.”His companion was also persuading Xu Jinjiang.
Xu Jinjiang gritted his teeth and prepared to take off his clothes to earn the three thousand yuan first.
"Wait, are you interested in coming to my production team to film? I have a role for you as the third male lead.”When Su Qingye and Wu Mengda arrived, Su Qingye immediately stopped Xu Jinjiang.
"Me, the third male lead?" Xu Jinjiang immediately became excited.
He had been in Heng Dian for so many years. Although he had shot many movies, he had at most one or two lines. Now, he could actually play the third male lead.
"Sure, sure. I'm willing. It doesn't matter if the money is a little less.”Xu Jinjiang nodded in panic.
"Alright, welcome to my crew.”Su Qingye extended his hand to welcome Xu Jinjiang.
With the addition of Wu Mengda and Xu Jinjiang, he had more confidence in this movie.
……
The basic cast for this movie was almost decided.
Although there were still roles for Ruyan and Wu Haoti that had yet to be cast, they had already started filming.
Su Qingye spent another few million to get the other members of the crew and found a professional filming team. Then, he rented a set in Heng Dian and started filming his movie.
The fruits, the altar, and the pig's head meat were all prepared. Although there were fewer people, Su Qingye still led everyone to worship the gods and prepare for the opening ceremony.
After the ritual was prepared, Su Qingye stood at the front and led the crew to worship the gods. Then, he cut the pig's head meat for everyone.
However, the taste of the pig's head was average, and Su Qingye did not like it very much. On the other hand, Wu Mengda and the others enjoyed eating it.
During this period of time, Su Qingye had been constantly improving his acting skills and understanding of the movie. He had even flipped through the entire script countless times, memorizing every small detail.
Although Su Qingye had started filming in a low-key manner, as a former top celebrity, news of him starting a new show by himself still spread.
"After two years of silence, Su Qingye has started shooting a new show in a low-key manner!”
"Su Qingye wants to write, direct, and act out the struggles of a has-been. What do you think?”
"Is it confidence or arrogance? Can a group of extras and a new director really succeed?”
When news about Su Qingye was released on Weibo, it immediately became a trending topic.
Everyone loved to kick people when they were down, especially when they saw the top young actors from back then. Now that they had fallen to the point of being a group of extras, everyone started to watch the show!
"Wow, Su Qingye's filming a new movie. I used to have a crush on him, but unfortunately, he can't do it anymore!”
"It's useless no matter how much you struggle!”
"Haha, self-directed, self-directed, I'm dying of laughter!”
"I heard that Su Qingye even bet on his house. I wonder where else he can go after this movie fails, hehe!”
The internet was filled with negative comments, especially when the news of Su Qingye betting on a house to film a movie spread. It instantly became a joke on the internet.
Do you think you're a genius? You're still betting on the house and burning your bridges. Don't end up without even a place to settle down!
"The last bit of stubbornness of the has-been Su Qingye!”
The big headline on Weibo was filled with indescribable sarcasm!
