Chapter 7 - 7. Interested (2/2)
”So, can I do the action scenes myself.”
Director Zhu was surprised by those words. Not only him, Assistant Director Ming and Chu Min was also surprised by his words.
”Have you ever done any martial arts?”
Director Zhu asked as he glanced at Ren's muscles. His body was fit but he didn't knew if he did martial arts or not.
”Although I have never done it, I wanted to try doing the action scenes.”
”Ren, what are you saying? Let the stuntman do the stunts. You can hurt yourself while doing them.”
Chu Min said worriedly but Ren just shook his head and said.
”Don't worry. I just wanted to try them. I will not hurt myself.”
”I still think...”
”Okay, you can try them if you want but first practice with the action director.”
Director Zhu said as he interrupted Chu Min.
”Director, what are you saying?”
”Isn't it okay. He can just try them.”
Chu Min wanted to say more but he can't go against the director.
”Thank you, director. I will try my best.”
Ren thanked the director and Director Zhu just nodded at him.
It was good for him that a actor wanted to do the action scenes himself. It will look great on camera and they also do not have to edit it much.
It was a great situation for him.
”Follow Assistant Director Ming to the Action Director. He will teach you the moves.”
”I understand.”
Ren followed Assistant Director Ming leaving Director Zhu and Chu Min alone to talk.
”Do you know if he can execute the fighting scenes. It will be great if he can do it.”
”I didn't know if he can do it or not but he isn't the type to make empty promises. I don't know about the action sequence though.”
Chu Min tried to lower the expectations of the director as to not disappoint him later.
”Well, I don't care about the action scenes. If he can't do it, there are stunt doubles. All I care is about his acting.”
”His acting was great, right.”
Director Zhu smiled hearing that question and replied.
”Yeah, it was good. It was too great.”
”I told you right. His acting was great. If you hadn't listened to me, then you could had missed him.”
”Yeah, if I had really missed a actor like him, then I don't know what would have happened. He is just born for acting.”
Director Zhu also felt that it would be a pity if he hadn't made Ren play this role. He can't think of any other actors who can do this role better than him.
”Oh yes, does Xin Ren had a agency?”
”Agency? He didn't have one at the moment but why are you asking that?”
”Well, it's about the money.”
Director Zhu can't have give Ren his previous contract money. That would be cheating. He felt that Ren pay would increase several folds.
”So, who is the man who came with him. That bear like person.”
Director Zhu said as he glanced at White bear who was walking towards Ren.
”His name is Dong Shu, he is Ren's previous manager. He is just accompanying him today.”
”So, you mean he didn't have any agency at the moment. Was the agencies getting lazy lately. They can't even see such a actor.”
Chu Min just smiled at Director Zhu words. He can feel that Director Zhu really liked Ren.
Director Zhu wasn't the type to concern himself with the actors private life. Him taking interest in Ren was a good thing.
”I knew some agencies. I will introduce him to some other agencies. What do you think about it?”
”Really, that would be great for him.”
As Chu Min and Director Zhu was talking, someone was standing close to them and he had also heard all of their conversation.
He was Jiang Wan, Chu Min's manager. He had previously wanted to poach Ren but now he was in a panic hearing the director's words.
