7: Put fighting and killing aside, let's embrace positive energy!

"No need to apologize, everyone has their own ambitions, I can understand!"

Although Brother Long felt it was a pity, he wasn't angry. Instead, he took a step back and said:

"By the way, young man, let's exchange contact information first. If I have other high-difficulty stunts in the future, I hope you can come and help out.

It's a shame. If you had thought about developing in the martial arts industry, I dare say that within a few years, you would definitely become the most formidable one in the industry. Your skill is something I could only dream of even in my youth."

"Brother Long is joking, I only know a little kung fu!"

Xu Lu quickly said modestly.

As soon as he said this, Brother Long feigned anger, pointed at him, and said:

"Young man, your words have offended quite a few people here. If you only know a little kung fu, then aren't all of us just amateurs?"

"That's right, young man, you don't just know a little kung fu, you're a kung fu master! I, Ma Sanyuan, misjudged you earlier, you are indeed very impressive!"

Director Ma also walked over two steps, exclaiming with a serious expression.

He didn't have any ill will towards Xu Lu; earlier it was purely a 'technical discussion.' But now that Xu Lu's skills were superior, Director Ma was immediately convinced.

Because Brother Long had other filming tasks, Xu Lu didn't stay long. Brother Long specifically instructed Director Chen, who brought Xu Lu, not to shortchange Xu Lu on his compensation.

With the verbal endorsement of a big Celebrity like Brother Long, Xu Lu immediately felt the benefits.

Not long after, Director Chen smilingly handed him a stack of documents and said:

"Little Xu, take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, just sign it."

Although Xu Lu trusted such a big film crew, he couldn't abandon his necessary caution, so he read it carefully. But he quickly froze and said:

"Director Chen, these are two contracts?"

"That's right! One is for you to be Brother Long's martial arts double. As for the other, Little Xu, weren't you here today for the role of Fu Xiaochang? Hahahaha, that's the content of the second contract!"

Director Chen laughed heartily.

Xu Lu was truly surprised. He hadn't expected to get a proper role in this action film crew, only thinking of earning some money for rent.

But he didn't expect things to take such a turn; not only did he earn money as a martial arts double, but a special guest role also fell into his lap.

The payment for being a martial arts double was a fixed price of 3,500 yuan. Director Chen said that given Xu Lu's status as a newcomer, this was already a very high price among martial arts doubles.

And the contract for the special Actor was 800 yuan a day, with payment for as many days as he filmed. Compared to Xu Lu's previous wages, this was also very high.

One must know that extras usually get one or two hundred yuan a day. The last time he got a special guest certificate and acted as a special guest Actor in ip man 2, it was only 400 yuan a day.

It's clear that getting 800 yuan a day this time was obviously due to Brother Long's earlier care.

Seeing that there were no problems with the contract, Xu Lu quickly signed his name at the bottom.

"Alright, Little Xu, welcome to our narrow road encounter Film Crew. Your scenes won't be filmed today, so you can leave now, or you can look around the film crew.

By the way, also add my contact information. If Brother Long is inconvenient during filming, you can contact me directly if you have anything!"

Director Chen said with a smile.

Xu Lu, of course, wouldn't let go of such a connection, so he immediately exchanged contact information with him.

Although Director Chen wasn't the chief director of this film crew, he was an executive director, significantly higher in status than the assistant director who previously auditioned Xu Lu.

So, Director He had originally rejected Xu Lu for the role he auditioned for today, but Director Chen unexpectedly brought it back.

Moreover, people like Director Chen have quite a network in the industry, and isn't it through these connections that various roles circulate?

After a brief stroll around the film crew, Xu Lu left the Lianjin Building. For special Actors like them, unless there are special circumstances, they usually don't need to stay with the crew for most of the time.

After all, for every extra day you stay, the film crew has to pay for an extra day, and the key is that they don't have to do anything until it's time to shoot their scenes.

A film crew is naturally not a charity organization, so they generally only contact special Actors to come when there are scenes to be filmed... And Xu Lu found that the last valid use of his 'Mastery of Fighting' skill had also been achieved, which was when he demonstrated his combo to Brother Long.

This means that Mastery of Fighting has now become a permanent skill. From now on, Xu Lu doesn't have to worry about suddenly 'losing all his power'... Over the next two days, in addition to live streaming, Xu Lu was also actively looking for other film and television roles.

It's just that his current requirements are a step higher than those of extras, which means the difficulty of getting a role has also increased by a step.

However, Xu Lu is not panicking for now.

After all, his scenes for the narrow road encounter film crew are coming up soon, and maybe he can unlock a very powerful skill!

The number of fans in the live streaming room has increased these past two days.

And every time he starts streaming, these people clamor for Xu Lu to demonstrate his kung fu. To this, Xu Lu expressed his refusal.

Mastery of Fighting has become a permanent skill, so there's no need to display it in public. He's an Actor, not a street performer!

There was even one time during a live stream when a Streamer, who claimed to be a fraud-buster, said he was going to expose Xu Lu, saying his kung fu was all fake. Xu Lu simply ignored him.

Doesn't he see that he's currently under close scrutiny by the Hongcheng Police?

Fighting and killing take a back seat; everything is about positive energy!

On the third day, Xu Lu, having received notification, once again came to the 'narrow road encounter Film Crew', but the filming location had changed to an 'abandoned factory'.

Xu Lu had no objection to this; he was there to be Brother Long's martial arts double for that set of combo moves anyway.

As soon as he entered the film crew, he was immediately pulled away by the makeup artist.

Although martial arts doubles always show their backs in the film, they still need makeup, at least their hairstyle should be consistent with the lead Actor, not to mention the costume.

By the time Xu Lu finished his styling, it was just about time to film Brother Long's combo scene.

"Stop, stunt double on!"

It was Director Chen, with whom he had exchanged contact information last time. As the executive director on set, he called a halt and then waved to Xu Lu.

"Little Xu, don't feel any pressure later, just do the moves normally. Also, be sure not to hurt the Actor opposite you!"

Thinking that Xu Lu was a newcomer, Director Chen added another reminder.

Xu Lu nodded, indicating his understanding.

With Director Chen's command to start, the entire film crew began to operate again, and Xu Lu arrived at the position where Brother Long had stopped.

He was going to continue the next set of combo moves here, as a martial arts double.
