Chapter 923 A One Million Contract!
“What the hell did I see???
“Is, is this true?”
Director Chen Xiaogang was utterly dumbfounded.
He still couldn’t believe that such a scene would happen in front of him.
Who was he?
He was a famous director. He had been to all kinds of places and seen all sorts of experts, including those from famous martial arts sects. The best expert he had ever seen could at most do a quick climb over a wall five meters high. He had never seen such people who directly went straight up to the roof by stepping on the wall and fought.
This was the set.
Although the wall here was not high, the buildings all had eaves.
The two of them actually stepped on the wall to get to the roof, and when they got to the roof, they fought even harder!
This was exactly the fight in a martial arts drama!
“How much less effort will it take to make movies like this?
“But, am I seeing this right?”
He rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.
Yes, the two men flew over the eaves and vault over the walls without wires on them?
Chen Xiaogang suddenly wanted to grab Fang Qiu who was looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle and ask him who the hell they were.
Zhao Rulong was also dumbstruck on one side!
He was the scriptwriter, and the fight in martial arts dramas he had imagined just consisted of some moves designed by Eighth Master Li. He had never seen such a real and powerful fighting scene.
This scene was beyond his wildest imagination!
Like him, everyone was stunned!
Eighth Master Li could not be more excited.
“Are they from Wulin?
“Is this Wulin?
“Does Wulin really exist?
“I really saw it!”
His two young disciples stood there dumbfounded. They could only perform these moves wearing wires, but the two men actually did these stunts without using any external force!
They felt nothing but shock.
The two of them didn’t receive any orders to stop, so they fought harder and harder. In the blink of an eye, they broke the roof and fell into the room.
In this situation where they couldn’t stop fighting, they quickly tore down the house…
Chen Xiaogang was so shocked that he panicked at the sight of it.
“Alright, alright, stop it, stop it!”
As Chen Xiaogang was shouting, he pulled Fang Qiu’s arm. “Hurry up and stop them! It won’t be long before they tear up the whole scenery I’ve worked so hard to build!”
Noticing that Chen Xiaogang was panicking, Fang Qiu quickly said to He Gaoming, “Ask them to stop.”
“Stop!”
He Gaoming shouted loudly, “Come back!”
Hearing him, the two of them stopped fighting at once.
Looking at the mess around them, they looked at each other, grinned, and quickly ran back.
“Director Chen, how is it?”
Seeing Chen Xiaogang’s distressed look, He Gaoming walked up to him without delay and said proudly, “If you’re not satisfied, I can show you more tricks. I’ll find you whatever you want. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied. What do you think?”
“No, no, no…”
Director Chen Xiaogang waved his hand repeatedly and forced a smile. “Stop tearing down the house. I cannot afford to get my scenery torn apart!”
“I haven’t even started shooting yet, but I’m already losing money,” he complained inwardly.
Hearing that, He Gaoming and the others burst into laughter.
Although they were not old, they were all from Wulin and were very observant. Thus, when they first arrived, they could tell that Director Chen Xiaogang did not like them. So they had been holding back their resentment.
“Didn’t you think we couldn’t do it?
“We’ll show you what we got!”
Seeing the distressed look on Chen Xiaogang’s face, the resentment in their hearts was instantly dispelled.
Fang Qiu gave a wry smile when he saw this.
This group of people had love and hatred written all over their faces!
“Director Chen, don’t worry. We won’t tear down this house.”
He Gaoming waved his hand at Chen Xiaogang and said, “How about this? We’ve come all the way to the capital to meet you. I have to get them to perform to see if you like it.”
“How?”
Chen Xiaogang panicked. He feared that the scenery would be dismantled again.
“We’ll perform on the set.”
He Gaoming pointed to the empty field ahead and said, “Don’t worry. We won’t destroy a blade of grass or a tree here.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Chen Xiaogang quickly nodded.
He knew very well that if the group of people recommended by Fang Qiu was as capable as the previous two men, it would be a treasure house full of endless wealth for him!
Nowadays, making a movie would cost a lot of money. The actors were unwilling to do stunts with wires on. The post-production special effects required a large sum of money too.
In addition, some of the moves could not be directly perceived through the senses at first, and he wouldn’t know whether they fitted or not until they were done.
If they didn’t fit, it would waste a lot of manpower, financial resources, and time.
If this team in front of him was really as capable as the two men, all he needed to do was shoot. There was no need for wires, special effects, and so on. Obviously, they could do whatever they were told to do directly.
This would save him a lot of time!
How much money would he save if he kept using this team to make movies?
More importantly, the fight between these people was very exciting and attractive!
If their acting skills were good, they would attract the audience’s attention as supporting roles!
These days, many people liked to go to the cinema to watch movies. Furthermore, he was a renowned director. In this way, he could make more money from shooting movies.
Not just…
When he thought of this, Director Chen Xiaogang’s heart was filled with anticipation. He was looking forward to their performance!
“Okay.”
With Director Chen Xiaogang’s approval, He Gaoming shouted without hesitation, “Brothers, let’s do it one by one. Show Director Chen what you are good at and let him know what you can do.”
After that, under the leadership of He Gaoming, the group of people began to step out and perform one by one.
Everyone else was fascinated by their moves.
That was especially true of Chen Xiaogang.
His eyes were fixed on the performers before him. Their moves were masculine, graceful, swift, and tricky. In a word, there were all kinds of styles!
After watching everyone’s performance, Chen Xiaogang and Zhao Rulong had truly been impressed.
They stared at Fang Qiu with excitement and shock.
“Where on earth did you find all these people?” Chen Xiaogang asked inwardly.
He resisted the urge to speak up and looked at Eighth Master Li.
He wanted to see what Eighth Master Li would say.
Of course, he chose He Gaoming and his men!
“It turns out you are from Wulin. Sorry for being rude.”
Surprisingly, Eighth Master Li directly cupped his fists at He Gaoming and his men.
Chen Xiaogang was stunned by his action.
“Director Chen!”
After saluting He Gaoming and his men, Eighth Master Li immediately turned to Chen Xiaogang and said firmly, “Leave the martial arts guidance of this movie to them. There is absolutely no problem.”
Chen Xiaogang was shocked by his words.
He clearly remembered that when he just mentioned this to Eighth Master Li, the latter got angry with him at once. At that time, Eighth Master Li even said that no matter who came, he would surely defeat them.
However, to Chen Xiaogang’s surprise, Eighth Master Li was convinced in the blink of an eye.
Apart from that, he even took the initiative to put in a good word for them.
This change happened too fast, didn’t it?
As for Eighth Master Li’s students, they had all been stunned aside. There was no hostility in their eyes when they looked at He Gaoming and his men. Instead, they were envious and eager to learn from them.
Astonished, Chen Xiaogang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Judging from Eighth Master Li’s current behaviors, there was obviously no big problem with martial arts guidance.
Meanwhile, after putting in a good word for He Gaoming and his men, Eighth Master Li ran to He Gaoming and pulled him aside mysteriously, asking in a low voice, “Bro, can you give me some advice on how to break through to the Martial Superior Level?”
“How is it?”
Fang Qiu smiled and asked Director Chen, who had finished dealing with Eighth Master Li.
“Great!”
Like a chick pecking at rice, Chen Xiaogang nodded his head repeatedly and said, “Amazing! This team is greater than any of those large international special effects teams. They’re perfect for this movie. Where did you get them?”
Fang Qiu answered, “The real Wulin.”
“The real Wulin?”
Hearing that, Chen Xiaogang said, shocked, “So Wulin really exists. What an eye-opener! Now, I really believe that everything about Hero Yang Yizhi is true!”
Fang Qiu smiled.
With his effort, Director Chen Xiaogang signed an agreement with He Gaoming and his men to hire them as action directors. The total cost was one million!
He Gaoming and his men were on cloud nine after that.
While one million may seem like a lot, there were more than 30 people in this group. Each person could only get more than 30,000, but they felt contented.
After all, those from Wulin were poor!
Especially this group of people. Because they were devoted to cultivation, they had no time to make money in society. Now they finally made money.
After all this was done, Chen Xiaogang pulled Fang Qiu to the side and said, “Everything is ready now. If nothing goes wrong, we can start shooting in ten days.”
“How long will it take to finish shooting?” Asked Fang Qiu.
“It should take half a year,” Chen Xiaogang replied.
“Half a year?”
Fang Qiu was stunned. He didn’t expect it to take so much time. He immediately shook his head and said, “I don’t have that much time.”
He had to become a highly-skilled doctor as soon as possible, so he didn’t have that much time to make a movie.
“How much time do you have?” Chen Xiaogang asked.
A movie was an art form, but medical skills needed time to polish, so it would take a lot of time.
“One month at most,” Fang Qiu said after thinking for a while.
Chen Xiaogang frowned and did a rough calculation. Then, he nodded his head and said, “Deal.”
He thought that if Fang Qiu was good at acting, he could finish his part in a month.
Anyway, he could shoot others’ parts later.
Without delay, he pulled Fang Qiu to try his costume on.
After getting dressed and putting on makeup, Fang Qiu seemed to have changed into a completely different person. He looked particularly dashing and was in line with Chen Xiaogang’s requirements in all aspects.
Later, Chen Xiaogang had He Gaoming perform some moves for Fang Qiu to mimic.
To his surprise, Fang Qiu’s imitation was perfect!
It shocked the group of Martial Superiors that He Gaoming had brought along with him.
Chen Xiaogang was thrilled to bits. Since Fang Qiu was so quick to learn, the shooting would be faster. They wouldn’t be pressed for time.
After everything was done, Director Chen Xiaogang handed over the script to Fang Qiu. He wanted Fang Qiu to check if there was anything that he was dissatisfied with. If anything needed to be changed, there was still time to fix it.
