Chapter 32 Acting 2
I sat in the chair for a while.
Seeing that there were still some left in the lunchbox, Su Qing took one and sat down to eat. She had ordered the lunchbox from the restaurant herself. Before ordering, she tasted each dish and thought it was okay before making the decision.
"Xiao Su"
Hearing this address, Su Qing was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it must be addressed to her. Turning her head, she saw that it was Old Hu, and a smile appeared on her face: "Uncle Hu, please have a seat. How has filming been since you arrived this morning?"
"not bad"
Hu Zhong smiled and said, "When I read the script last night, I felt that the plot of this drama was intricately linked, better than many big-budget productions. But this isn't Director Huang's first time directing a movie! I was a little worried at first, but after working with him this morning, I found that his acting is quite good, and his control over the scenes is also very skillful. Xiao Su, can I ask you something?"
"You asked."
Su Qing was a little confused about what Old Hu wanted to ask her.
That's how it is.
Hu Zhong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You went to my house last night, didn't you? My wife took a liking to you the moment she saw you, and she asked me to ask you if you have a boyfriend."
After throwing away the lunchbox, Huang Min sat back down in the director's chair and perked up his ears. From the time he recruited Su Qing, Huang Min had never asked about the personal affairs of his agent and future head of Dongsheng. Now that someone was asking, Huang Min was also a little curious.
"No"
Su Qing shook her head: "But Uncle Hu, I'm not considering these things for now. Please thank Auntie for me. Besides... your grandson is still studying acting, he's at most twenty-three or twenty-four this year, while I'm thirty-two this year (by Chinese reckoning). There's such a big age difference, we wouldn't be able to talk to each other. You and Auntie should leave this matter to Hu Yu to handle himself! I've seen his information, he's good-looking, and who knows, he might already have a girlfriend at the acting academy."
"It's not my grandson, it's my youngest son. He's thirty-six this year, and he got divorced last year. He's only four years older than you."
Huang Min's lips twitched almost imperceptibly a few times.
He looked at Su Qing, and upon seeing his manager, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression stiffened a little. Huang Min suppressed the urge to laugh and looked down at his shooting plan.
Seeing that Su Qing remained silent, Hu Zhong continued, "My youngest son and his ex-wife don't have any sons, only a daughter who just turned twelve this year. Su, would you like to come to my house for a meal sometime? I'll have my wife call my youngest son back so you can take a look at him. He's very handsome and works as a cameraman for Director Zhang."
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Hu, but you really don't need it."
Su Qing politely declined, saying, "I'm more career-oriented; my career should be my priority."
"Oh well!"
Hu Zhong said with some regret, "You young people of this generation all have your own ideas. Since you don't want to watch, your Uncle Hu won't force you. But Xiao Su, we can skip the blind date, but you must come to my house for a meal sometime when you're free."
"Definitely, definitely."
Su Qing's smile became somewhat forced.
After Old Hu went back to his work with a regretful expression, Huang Min chuckled twice. Old Hu had quite a few ideas, but Su Qing... seemed quite likable.
This was just a simple home visit, yet the elderly couple had taken a liking to it. Noticing Su Qing's gaze fixed on him, Huang Min composed himself, coughed lightly, and said, "I've prepared two sets for you. Try one first, and I'll see how it goes."
"I am not an actor."
Su Qing repeated what she had said that night.
"I know"
Huang Min nodded: "But no one is born an actor. From the moment you make that choice, it means that it's inevitable that you'll occasionally have to lend a hand."
Without giving Su Qing another chance to refuse, Huang Min said to the two makeup artists who had just finished lunch, "Later, you two will give Miss Su a proper hairstyle, like the news anchors on CCTV, and also do her makeup, just light makeup will do."
Just as he was about to pat Su Qing on the shoulder to urge her to hurry up, his hand was blocked by her raised arm before it even touched her shoulder. Huang Min was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
He had no intention of eating salted pig's trotters.
But Su Qing couldn't help but think in that direction.
"I'm willing to act, and I'll pay myself."
Su Qing spoke up.
"You're the producer of this film. You can decide the exact budget yourself. You can collect your payment after filming is finished."
Huang Min laughed and said, "Maybe you can even become famous because of this movie. If that happens, even if 'The Terror Live' is a flop, besides finding a job at a big company, you'll have another way to enter the entertainment industry as an actor."
Since Huang Min insisted on acting, Su Qing didn't argue with him about it. She simply said, "I can act, but if I don't act well, I don't want to hear you swearing."
"Go put on makeup, then change your clothes."
Huang Min replied.
After Su Qing entered the dressing room, Zhou Nian came over and asked, "You're really letting your manager act?!"
"Just a single shot lasting a few dozen seconds."
Huang Min laughed and said, "Su Qing has both good looks and height. Instead of spending time finding actresses, it's better to let her finish filming this scene. I'm trying to save money wherever I can. If possible, I would like to find some famous actresses to make a cameo appearance, but the reality is that I can't invite them at all. If we're talking about who has the worst reputation in the entertainment industry right now, I should definitely be at the top of the list."
"really"
Zhou Nian nodded in agreement: "If you don't pursue directing, there's basically no chance of clearing your name. Now it all depends on this film. If 'The Terror Live' is successful, even if you can't return to the screen for the time being, you'll have a voice behind the scenes, which will reduce future obstacles. When you make another film, many actors will audition for it. It's just that the risk is a bit high, so you were forced to do it because you had no other choice. Not many normal actors have that kind of courage; most choose the safer path."
"Let's take a break! Now that Mr. Hu is here, I plan to speed up the filming a bit."
"it is good"
After taking a break to adjust his condition, Huang Min called the props team over. The female anchor needed a small explosion point for this scene, and for safety reasons, Huang Min had the props team conduct multiple tests.
Perhaps Su Qingdizi is better.
The makeup and costume change took only about twenty minutes. When she came out of the dressing room, Huang Min looked at Su Qing, who seemed like a completely different person, and nodded to himself.
A light white women's coat, over which was a white shirt.
With well-proportioned features and a cool, aloof demeanor, Su Qing's temperament is naturally cool and serene, which perfectly matches the role of the female anchor. She possesses an innate sense of seriousness and restraint, a beauty inherent in journalists.
Huang Min has already made up his mind.
Any similar roles in the future will be given to Su Qing to play.
He offered her a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, so he had to achieve the effect of spending 500,000 yuan.
