She's been too busy with work these days, focusing only on the script and not paying any attention to the cast list for A Chinese Ghost Story 3.
To everyone's surprise, the production team actually cast a real monk to play the male lead.
Moreover, this real monk was actually a junior monk she knew.
This is too much of a coincidence.
"What, do you know each other?"
Xu Ke noticed that Wang Xian'er and Long Yan's eyes met, so they must be acquaintances.
"I had a chance encounter with the young master about two weeks ago, and we formed a good connection," Wang Xian'er said to Xu Ke with a slight smile.
"Yes, the female benefactor and this humble monk have a karmic connection; she donated ten thousand yuan to me." Long Yan smiled gently.
"Since we know each other, that's even better."
Xu Ke wasn't too surprised, because everyone in the film and television industry knew that Wang Xian'er was a Buddhist, so it was perfectly normal for her to have a connection with the monks of Wulong Temple.
"Xiaoxian, this is the first time our little master has acted, so he doesn't have much experience. You should guide him, share your experience with him, and get to know him better so it will be easier for him to act."
Xu Ke said to Wang Xian'er,
After all, Wang Xian'er is a popular female star and played the female lead in A Chinese Ghost Story 3.
The male and female leads need to develop a relationship in order to get more into character during filming.
"Director Xu, I will."
Wang Xian'er nodded in agreement, happy to share her experience with Long Yan.
only,
She couldn't understand why the production team would hire a complete novice who had never acted before to play the male lead.
Although the young master's looks and demeanor are no less than those of male celebrities,
However, it is rare for someone to become the male lead so soon after entering the industry.
Does the young master have a powerful background?
Wang Xian'er even suspected that Long Yan was the illegitimate son of a triad boss and had brought his own investment to the production.
But she quickly realized that this was not something she should be concerned with.
How could one have such "improper thoughts" about the young master?
And the young master is only eighteen years old!
They were still at a very innocent age.
"Long Yan, get along well with Wang Xian'er. She's a big star. Not only is she beautiful and worth millions, but she's also single. Seize the opportunity!"
Uncle Da secretly spoke to Long Yan, hinting that Long Yan should pursue Wang Xian'er.
Long Yan smiled and replied:
"Senior Brother, girls aren't something you can just chase!"
Mutual attraction is the key.
Long Yan would definitely not pursue girls like Uncle Da, who would fawn over them.
Just as Uncle Da and Long Yan were whispering to each other,
The stinky Wen also quietly asked Wang Xian'er:
"Sister Xian'er, what's your thought about the question I asked you last time?"
Wang Xian'er smoothed her hair behind her ear, surprised that the little monk was still thinking about this matter.
Of course, Xiaowen is serious!
He wanted Wang Xian'er and Long Yan to date and fall in love.
"You're so clever for your age." Wang Xian'er patted Xiao Wen's head and said, "Your sister is very busy with work and hasn't thought it through yet. Let me think about it some more."
She couldn't bring herself to directly reject Xiaowen's suggestion.
However, it's impossible for her to just agree to date Long Yan like that.
Although Wang Xian'er did indeed find Long Yan very appealing.
However, as a big star, she also has her own pride and cannot just casually date men.
She is not a promiscuous woman.
Even in the chaotic entertainment industry, she has never been in a relationship, nor has she ever been ambiguous with any man.
"Sister Xian'er, if you fall for Senior Brother Long Yan, don't hesitate!" The cheeky Wen pleaded earnestly, wanting to play matchmaker.
However, he also knew that forced relationships are never happy.
So after saying that, I went off to chase after celebrities.
Because he saw a celebrity, Zhang Xueyou!
Xiao Long followed along and asked the celebrity for an autograph.
"Master Longyan, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xueyou, who plays Yan Chixia in the bureau."
Xu Ke led Long Yan around for a while, helping him integrate into the crew more quickly.
"Wow! A real monk!" Zhang Xueyou was also surprised to see Long Yan. The production team had actually hired a real monk to play the lead role in A Chinese Ghost Story 3.
"Sir, I really enjoy listening to your songs." Long Yan and Zhang Xueyou chatted briefly.
Zhang Xue had a feeling that Long Yan was a high-ranking monk, so he tentatively asked:
"Young master, do you know fortune telling? Could you tell my future career plans?"
This is also because his career has presented him with a choice.
Because Cheung Hok-yau debuted as a singer, winning the Hong Kong 18 Districts Amateur Singing Contest.
He wasn't a professional singer; in fact, he even worked for an airline after graduating from university.
After becoming famous for her singing, she released many albums in succession and became increasingly popular.
As he gained fame, directors in the film industry began to invite him to act in movies, so he starred in A Chinese Ghost Story 3.
Zhang Xueyou wants to transition from singing to film, but he definitely needs to focus on one aspect over the other.
So what he's struggling with is whether singing or acting has a brighter future.
“My friend, I suggest you focus on singing and hold more concerts. As for acting, just do it occasionally; don’t make it your main job.”
Long Yan gave the answer directly, since Zhang Xueyou's future fans are basically all music fans.
"But I've hit a roadblock now, and I can't create any hit songs." Zhang Xueyou sighed, as if he had run out of creative ideas.
"How about this, if you're willing to pay ten thousand yuan, I can help you come up with a song title that will definitely be a hit!" Long Yan was also taking the opportunity to make money.
Although he was a monk, in the extravagant and decadent world of Hong Kong, one cannot survive without money.
"Really?" Zhang Xueyou asked, half-believing, "Little Master, what's the song called?"
“A thousand reasons to be sad.” Long Yan said without hesitation, “If you sing this song, it should become a huge hit.”
Long Yan himself didn't have a talent for singing, so he didn't become a plagiarist.
Moreover, it's Zhang Xueyou himself who sings this song, which gives it even more of its charm.
"Okay, I believe you!" Zhang Xueyou took out 10,000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Long Yan as a lucky charm.
After all, fortune telling always costs money.
Getting something for free won't work.
Wang Xian'er, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation and, filled with curiosity, asked Long Yan:
"Little master, can you also tell my fortune?"
She wanted to verify whether Long Yan's calculations were accurate.
“Sure.” Long Yan didn’t refuse and asked, “What do you want to know? Career, marriage, or lifespan? But let me make it clear first, the fee is 10,000 per reading, no cheating.”
"I'll pay for Xiaoxian's marriage fortune telling." Zhang Xueyou pulled out ten thousand yuan. He wasn't short of money; instead, he was quite gossipy about Wang Xian'er's marriage prospects and asked:
"Xiaoxian is so beautiful and pure, yet she hasn't dated anyone yet. Little Master, can you predict who she will marry in the future?"
Long Yan took the money and said only one sentence:
"This female benefactor has a karmic connection with Buddha!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xueyou asked in surprise, not quite understanding. "You don't mean Xiaoxian will marry a monk in the future, do you?"
"What Little Master means is that I will remain single for life and never get married," Wang Xian'er said herself.
This is what she was thinking.
If she cannot meet a good man in this life, she would rather remain unmarried and become a Buddhist nun.
“That’s right!” Long Yan nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
"Little Master, you seem to be able to read people's minds, that's amazing." Wang Xian'er was a little scared; this martial monk really seemed to be able to tell fortunes!
He accurately guessed what she was thinking.
So accurate!
Zhang Xueyou and Wang Xian'er were both captivated, grabbing Long Yan and insisting on continuing the fortune-telling.
But producer Xu Ke interrupted:
"I invited you here to film a movie, not to tell fortunes. We should get down to business."
Finally, he said to Long Yan:
"Young master, let's have some tea and chat sometime. I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you."
Xu Ke also sensed that Long Yan was no ordinary person; it seemed he truly possessed precognitive abilities.
For example, Long Yan can describe the plot of movies that haven't even been released yet.
Amazing.
This is also one of the reasons why Xu Ke invited Long Yan to play the male lead in A Chinese Ghost Story 3.
