Chapter 461: That's it

The most important thing to do in the entertainment industry is to be careful with what you say and do. As long as Cai Yinong didn't introduce Lin Lang as her boyfriend herself, director Yang Weiming would never ask.

Cai Yinong looked at Lin Lang in confusion, "You just glanced at the script briefly, didn't you even read the lines a few more times and memorize them?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer. He had the skill of [Photographic Memory], so he half-jokingly replied: "My greatest strength is my good memory. I can remember almost everything after reading it once."

After hearing this, Cai Yinong teased: "You have such a good memory, why didn't you get into Peking University or Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination?"

Lin Lang, who was still being made up by a makeup artist wearing a wig, replied: "I like to eat Hainan vegetables and I am used to the climate of Hainan. Is this an acceptable reason?"

Before Cai Yinong could continue chatting with Lin Lang, she saw the actress Ning Jing, who played Mu Guiying, walking over with a smile and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Cai!"

Ning Jing was seen wearing ancient costume. At the turn of the millennium, Ning Jing, who was just 28 years old, was still very pretty.

Cai Yinong responded with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Ning!"

Ning Jing asked, "Director Yang, I heard that the actor who will replace Zhang Zhiyao to play Yang Zongbao has been found?"

Director Yang Weiming replied, "Come here, Teacher Ning, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Cai's friend Lin Lang, the chairman of Maitian Music Company, who is here to save the day and play the role of Yang Zongbao."

Lin Lang, who was putting on makeup, couldn't move and took the initiative to greet: "Hello, Teacher Ning!"

People in the entertainment industry like to call each other teacher.

Ning Jing looked at Lin Lang who was putting on makeup. She was somewhat amazed by his handsome appearance and responded with a smile: "Hello!"

Then, Ning Jing stared at Lin Lang and exclaimed, "Teacher Lin looks so familiar! Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

Lin Lang replied: "I often watch Teacher Ning's plays, but this is probably our first time meeting in person."

Ning Jing suddenly said: "I remember it now!"

"Teacher Lin, you were a guest performer at the Hong Kong diva Wang Yuyan's [Fang Hua Jue Dai] concert. Not only did you accompany Wang Yuyan on the piano, you also sang a very nice song "Serious Snow" solo, right?"

"Yeah! Teacher Ning was also at the concert that day?"

Ning Jing smiled and replied, "Yes! Hong Kong's Queen Wang Yuyan is coming to Haikou for a concert, of course I have to support her."

Cai Yinong was shocked and asked, "Lin Lang, have you ever been a guest performer at Wang Yuyan's concert?"

"Wang Yuyan is my godsister. She is coming to Haihai for a concert, so of course she will invite me to be a guest performer."

"Wow..." Everyone was shocked after hearing this.

Cai Yinong was surprised and said, "The Queen Wang Yuyan, who is known as the daughter of Hong Kong Island, is actually your godsister?"

Lin Lang replied: "That's right."

After hearing this, Cai Yinong exclaimed: "Sure, Linlang, you have a lot of connections in the entertainment industry!"

After hearing this, Yang Weiming smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, if there is a role suitable for Wang Yuyan in my movie script in the future, I will trouble Teacher Lin to help me make connections and invite Hong Kong Island Queen Wang Yuyan to star in it!"

Lin Lang replied readily: "If the script is good, then of course there is no problem."

Ning Jing asked tentatively: "Teacher Lin is the boss of a music company. It's normal for him to play the piano and sing well. But I don't think I've seen your play. Is Teacher Lin a student of acting?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "No, I was forced to do this by your CEO Cai. If there is anything I didn't do well in the scene with Teacher Ning, I hope Teacher Ning will forgive me."

Ning Jing replied, "Then after you finish your makeup, we will go through the lines and rehearse the scene, and then start filming after we have communicated well."

It has to be said that Ning Jing, the triple-award winning actress, is still humble and doesn't act like a big shot to new actors.

Of course, maybe it’s because Lin Lang is not a new actor with no background.

Lin Lang replied, "We don't need to rehearse the lines for the drama. Teacher Ning, I can handle all the emotions you give me. For the fighting scenes, we can just let the martial arts instructor show us some moves."

Ning Jing smiled and replied, "Okay, it seems that Teacher Lin is very confident in his acting skills~"

"Teacher Ning, you can just call me Alang." Lin Lang put on his makeup and looked really handsome in his ancient costume with a wig.

Ning Jing smiled and replied with one word: "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, Cai Yinong took the costume from the costume designer and personally took Lin Lang to the dressing room to change into the ancient costume.

Ning Jing exchanged glances with director Yang Weiming and asked in a low voice, "Are Mr. Cai and Mr. Lin from Maitian Music just friends or boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Yang Weiming didn't dare to ask or say anything, and could only reply vaguely: "This is also the first time I've met Mr. Lin from Ryefield Music, and I don't know him very well."

Ning Jing didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

Soon, Cai Yinong helped Lin Lang put on the ancient costume and walked out of the dressing room with the handsome Lin Lang.

"Oh..."

Director Yang Weiming exclaimed with exaggerated expression: "Teacher Lin's ancient costume is really amazing, he is simply as beautiful as jade and unparalleled in the world!

"Director Yang, you're too kind." Lin Lang smiled faintly.

Cai Yinong looked at Lin Lang with a sparkle in her eyes, and said jokingly with a smile: "Teacher Ning, the male lead couple I found for you, is he good-looking?"

After seeing Lin Lang's ancient costume, Ning Jing couldn't help but praise him, "It must be possible! Alang should play Yang Guo, he is really a "gentleman with elegant appearance, Lang Yan is unique!"

Lin Lang smiled and replied: "Don't make fun of me, a new actor."

Director Yang Weiming was very satisfied with Lin Lang's portrayal of Yang Zongbao, and hurriedly ordered, "Go and call martial arts instructor Yuan Bin over to teach Teacher Ning and Teacher Lin how to do the moves. The scene of Mu Guiying's martial arts competition to win her hand in marriage will start filming soon."

"Yes, Director Yang."

Director Yang Weiming took Lin Lang to discuss the play while walking out of the backstage of the crew with Cai Yinong and Ning Jing, who played Mu Guiying, and came to the outdoor set.

Martial arts instructor Yuan Bin hurried over and greeted Cai Yinong enthusiastically as soon as he arrived: "Hello, Mr. Cai!"

Cai Yinong introduced: "This is Lin Lang. He will come to the rescue and play Yang Zongbao."

"This is the famous martial arts instructor Yuan Bin. Director Yuan was in charge of the action design for classic movies such as New Dragon Inn, God of Gamblers 2, A Lang's Story, and A Moment of Romance."

Lin Lang took the initiative to shake hands with Yuan Bin and greeted him, "Hello, Director Yuan. I have heard a lot about you."

Yuan Bin shook hands with Lin Lang and politely replied, "Lei Hou~ Teacher Lin, you are so handsome!"

Director Yang Weiming said with a smile, "Director Yuan, please guide the fight scene of the martial arts competition and teach Teacher Lin and Teacher Ning some moves."

"Okay!" Yuan Bin called Lin Lang and Ning Jing to step onto the competition arena and began to teach them martial arts moves.

Because Lin Lang possessed the maximum level [Comprehensive Street Fighting] skill and was very proficient in various martial arts routines, he responded with a smile, his eyes revealing confidence.

Yuan Bin demonstrated and explained the martial arts moves professionally. Lin Lang listened attentively, and he was able to grasp every key point quickly.

Lin Lang followed the martial arts instructor Yuan Bin and imitated him. Each move was clean, neat and sharp. As soon as Yuan Bin finished explaining the moves, Lin Lang had already mastered them without any mistakes.

Seeing this, Yuan Bin couldn't help but praise in Cantonese: "Teacher Lin, your martial arts skills are good, very sharp, and very good!"

"Director Yuan, you're too kind." Lin Lang smiled modestly.

Cai Yinong, who was standing nearby, was very happy to hear the famous martial arts instructor Yuan Bin praising Lin Lang.

Ning Jing, who plays Mu Guiying, had already exchanged moves with the injured former male lead and was already familiar with the moves, so she didn't feel much pressure facing this fight scene.

Soon, the lighting technicians, sound engineers and other staff on the scene became busy.

The lights on the set were intertwined, illuminating the entire set, and the sound engineer carefully debugged the equipment to ensure that everything went well.

Martial arts director Yuan Bin stood aside with a sharp gaze, ready to direct the movements at any time. The staff around were also busy shuttling back and forth. The whole set was shrouded in a tense and orderly atmosphere.

Director Yang Weiming and Cai Yinong stood behind the camera monitor. Yang Weiming sat in the director's chair, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave instructions in an orderly manner.

The stage manager held the clapperboard, and with a "click", the cameraman skillfully operated the camera lens to move forward.

On the stage, Yang Zongbao, played by Lin Lang, and Mu Guiying, played by Ning Jing, both had wires hanging on their bodies, and began to perform a martial arts competition to win a bride.

Mu Guiying, played by Ning Jing, first used a set of fierce boxing skills to knock down the last extra who came on stage to compete in a marriage competition.

"I admit it."

Yang Zongbao, played by Lin Lang, is dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with a purple gold crown on his head and a white jade belt around his waist. His posture is as straight as a pine tree, and his bearing is extraordinary and imposing.

Lin Lang was seen with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a slightly raised mouth, and a confident and uninhibited smile. He played Yang Zongbao and made a handsome appearance.

"Bah, Mu Guiying, you're a she-devil." The extra became furious.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted to him, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.

Ning Jing stood on the stage and sneered at the extra, "You are not as skilled as others. Sir, you are so rude, aren't you?"

"You bitch, I think you'll never get married even if you compete in martial arts to find a husband. You'll just have to wait to become an old aunt!" The extra picked up a stone on the ground and wanted to throw it at Mu Guiying on the stage.

Yang Zongbao, played by Lin Lang, made a timely move and knocked the extra to the ground with one palm, and did not forget to taunt: "A real man should admit defeat if he is not as skilled as others. You should be beaten for your rude words after losing."

The extras who were watching the martial arts competition to win a bride applauded.

Ning Jing looked at Lin Lang and smiled, "I wonder which young master would like to come on stage and compete!"

Lin Lang turned over and jumped onto the stage, lifted up his robe, and made the starting moves before showing off his coolness and fighting, and looked at Mu Guiying, played by Ning Jing, with a flirtatious look.

Ning Jing clasped her fists and saluted, with the corners of her mouth raised, and she said delicately: "You know the rules of the martial arts competition, right?"

Lin Lang replied loudly: "Don't ask any more questions. Jiang Long Mu and you are both my sons. Watch out!"

After saying that, Lin Lang's body was as fast as lightning. He took the lead in throwing a punch, which brought with it a gust of strong wind. The fist seemed to have a thousand pounds of power. The wind from the fist whistled past and even blew up a few fallen leaves under the stage.

Ning Jing was not in a hurry. She dodged to the side. Her movements were light and agile, as nimble as a flying swallow. She slapped Lin Lang in the face with her backhand, and the sharp wind from her palm went towards him.

Lin Lang dodged with a somersault, the movement was graceful and easy, and then he raised his leg and swept it across, his leg was like a steel whip, with amazing momentum.

Seeing this, Ning Jing jumped into the air, his body drawing a graceful arc in the air, his legs like whips, colliding with Lin Lang's attack in the air. The two of them fought back and forth, punching and kicking with great force, and each move was powerful and exciting.

Lin Lang made a flying kick, Ning Jing leaned back to avoid it, and at the same time, he supported himself with his hands and attacked Lin Lang's lower body with a sweeping kick.

Lin Lang jumped up like a scallion pulled up from dry land, spun his body in the air, and slapped his palms downwards like an eagle swooping down on its prey. Ning Jing rolled to avoid it, then stood up and unleashed another fierce punch.

Lin Lang blocked left and right, moving step by step, looking for an opportunity to counterattack...

During the fight, Lin Lang and Ning Jing were both hanging on wires, but Lin Lang, with his extraordinary strength, was able to perform difficult moves beautifully even without the assistance of wires, and every fly and punch was extremely spectacular.

Ning Jing’s steady performance made her play Mu Guiying as brave and heroic as any man.

Lin Lang perfectly picked up the emotions given by Ning Jing and responded just right. The performances and dialogue skills of both of them were first-rate, and Lin Lang's fighting scenes amazed all the crew members.

The scene where Mu Guiying competes in martial arts to win a husband was filmed very smoothly. Lin Lang and Ning Jing performed very well in both literary and fighting scenes, which made director Yang Weiming's eyes light up.

Director Yang Weiming looked at the fight scene on the camera monitor and exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Cai, you brought Mr. Lin to save the day. He doesn't look like a rookie actor at all! He's great at both drama and martial arts!"

Martial arts instructor Yuan Bin also looked at the monitor and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is Mr. Lin a new actor? It's like God is chasing him to get a job!"

Cai Yinong smiled smugly and said, "How is it? The male protagonist I found for you is pretty good, right?"
