Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.

The two women, who changed their names to Chen Xingwei and Li Youhu, also felt a little special attention from Simon.

Chen Xingwei held the cup slightly in front of him and took a sip, and his eyes drifted over at just the right moment, wanting to refuse and welcome.

Li Youhu was much bolder, and took the initiative to talk to Simon: "Mr. Westeros, you speak Chinese really well."

When Simon and Wei were talking to each other just now, they were standing nearby, and the man's Mandarin was so eloquent that it was amazing.

With a smile on his face, Simon said in Mandarin, "Your Chinese is also very good."

Li Youhu was stunned for a moment, got the joke exactly, and laughed lightly: "Haha, Mr. Westeros, you are really humorous."

The other girls who had been paying attention here all laughed when they heard the conversation between the two.

Being robbed of the first person to talk to Westeros, Chen Xingwei reacted at this time, laughed with the girls, and found a topic: "Mr. Westeros, can I ask, when we arrive in the United States, we will What needs to be done?"

Simon said: "Show me the dance, just like just now."

All the girls were startled again, and their thoughts were different in an instant.

The man in front of him spent so much time picking them out, and most importantly, he gave each person an exaggerated salary of $100,000 a year, just to let them dance for him. It seems too light, right?

Chen Xingwei, who was also unconvinced, asked, "Mr. Westeros, are you just dancing?" After speaking, he immediately realized that he had a language problem, and quickly added: "I mean, just dance for you alone?"

"Of course, I paid you to hire you, so it's impossible to dance for others, right?"

Chen Xingwei hesitated and asked again, "But, you... gave us, um, such a high salary?"

Simon glanced at the girls, and saw that they were all hesitant or eccentric. Seeing him looking over, they looked like little rabbits stared at by their prey, obviously wanting to avoid their eyes.

I look so good... oh no, bad guy?

After thinking for a moment, Simon simply said: "Since you think the salary is too high, then, let's practice dancing hard, then I will arrange a tour for you in Europe and the United States, which will help me earn a little profit. However, I want to remind you. , European and American performances are all commercialized, and audiences will only buy tickets if they think they look good. If the shows you create are not good enough to attract audiences, the scene will be very embarrassing. At that time, I will be embarrassed and can only fire you. "

"what……"

After Simon finished speaking, the girls were all stunned, and some people exclaimed in a low voice, and then looked at a girl who had just started talking.

Chen Xingwei didn't expect that her simple words would add a huge career risk to their work. If the tour fails in the future, she will be the target of public criticism, and quickly tried to remedy: "I'm not... Weiss Mr. Tello, I just meant..."

Speaking of which, Chen Xingwei got stuck.

What I meant just now was very clear.

It can't be said that the salary is too high, Mr. Westeros, you will lower everyone a little... If you say that, you will still offend everyone.

Fortunately, Li Youhu's voice quickly sounded beside him: "Just do it, Mr. Westeros, you liked the "Cai Wei" just now, didn't you?"

"yes."

"Then, since you like it, the people on your side, I think they will like it too."

Chen Qing obviously did not explain the origin of "Cai Wei" to the girls, and Simon did not explain, just nodded and smiled: "Of course."

After chatting a few words like this, various details between behavior, words and deeds, plus the memory of the previous life, Simon basically determined that the current two women are only 19 years old like a green apple. He prefers Li Youhu's straightforwardness and Confident, and then looked at the other party's delicate appearance, which was almost the same as later, suddenly moved, and asked, "Li, do you want to act?"

The words came out, and the girls looked over together again.

And Simon Westeros, who is a major Hollywood tycoon, asks if you want to act, which is almost no different from the Jade Emperor asking if you want to be in the fairy class.

Since the high school attached to the Dance Academy, Li Youhu has always been a very good one, and the stars are all over the moon.

At that time, only four girls were selected into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. They should have had similar strengths, but Chen Xingwei was pushed from the middle school attached to the Dance Academy to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. Li Youhu was able to lead the dance in the troupe. , she can only be an ordinary supporting role in the crowd.

At this time, listening to Simon Westeros ask, if it's another girl, but it's the other party, this makes Chen Xingwei's eyes flash with some strong negative emotions, in order to cover up, he has to bow his head , the hand that was quietly shrinking into the long sleeve of the dance suit was tightly held, and the nails were piercing into the palm of the hand.

Li Youhu, who was already proud, felt the eyes of the girls around him. Even though he had always been proud, he was still full of vanity. He raised his chin slightly and looked at the man: "Of course I want to."

Seeing the girl's affirmation, Simon stretched out his hand and took out the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that he had been carrying with him in the last few days, and handed it to the other party: "Hey, I'll give you one day to finish reading this novel. Tell me your thoughts tomorrow night, remember to come from the back door in the middle of the night and knock three times."

The other girls listened to another stalk in Simon's words that everyone understood, and laughed again in cooperation, just watching Li Youhu take the book, and there were obviously other meanings in this laughter.

Janet, who has been smiling and watching on the other side of the short table, can understand Simon's discussion with Wei.

I asked for the origin of Yu Shi's words, but I didn't understand what the girls were laughing at this time. I just rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "You think I don't exist, and you knocked three times in the middle of the night."

Simon grabbed Janet's small hand on the short table and held it in the palm, and said to Li Youhu: "I hope you will play the role of Yu Jiaolong in this book, but things are not certain, because it requires you to pass the director If you don’t meet the requirements, you can only come back and dance for me. Of course, you have plenty of time, and you still have half a year to prepare. I think the first thing you need to do is to find an acting teacher.”

In the original version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Jiaolong, played by International Zhang, is very good. If possible, Simon is happy to use him.

Unfortunately not this time.

The famous Chinese Opera Class 96 doesn't know if it will appear again. Even if he finds himself now, as a rookie in the international chapter, he will not be able to act at all.

Can only be replaced.

Li Xiaoran, who changed her name to Li Youhu in front of her, is 19 years old this year. Although she is also young, both the real character of the other party and the screen images in Simon's memory are very suitable for the role of Yu Jiaolong.

Moreover, as a dancer, action scenes are not a problem.

As for acting, after all, she is a dancer and she often goes on stage, so it is not a zero foundation. Intensive training in the next six months is basically enough. What's more, Ang Lee is the kind of director who can train actors the most.

Being stared at by so many envious and jealous eyes around him, Li Youhu's sense of vanity rose a lot, and he still boldly looked directly at the man in front of him: "Mr. Westeros, isn't it you who has the final say on this matter?"

"Of course I have the final say, but if you don't perform well and screw up a movie, it's mine, too. The budget for this project is $15 million, which is not a small amount of money."

15 million, in Hollywood can only be low-cost production.

However, the girls around them naturally converted into RMB, 120 million, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"The Opium War" is currently being filmed in China. In recent years, many city streets and warship models have been specially built for this film, and the production cost is not 120 million.

Some of the girls thought hopelessly, with such a large amount of money, who still makes movies.

It can't be spent in a lifetime.

After chatting for a while, after tea, the girls were sent off the terrace.

Follow the veranda next to the inner courtyard to the third-floor courtyard, which is the residence of the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe. In addition to the classical bands, dance teachers, costume and makeup personnel, etc., all of which are all women, there are more than 160 people in total, but living in this complex is not crowded at all.

Because the courtyard is really big.

The original area of ​​the courtyard was 1 hectare two years ago, and it was subsequently expanded. Almost the entire hilltop was Simon's private property.

The courtyards are laid out in the classical garden style, with a total of four floors stacked on top of each other.

Not four in.

Instead, there are four layers that progress sequentially from the inside to the outside, presenting an oval pattern occupying the entire hilltop.

Simon's five-entry courtyard house in Beijing, including the attached garden, has a total area of ​​only 5,000 square meters, equivalent to 7.5 acres, and this other courtyard currently covers an area of ​​2.5 hectares, equivalent to more than 38 acres.

Only the third-floor courtyard where the members of the Guofeng Art Troupe live.

The two-storey four-storey layout is 60 meters long and wide. The architectural style is not the simple and solemn of the northern courtyard, but the delicacy and elegance of the Jiangnan garden. The square two-storey main building has a total construction area of ​​3,300 square meters, except for 50 sets The standard 50-square-meter, two-bedroom, one-living suite is also equipped with a dining room, kitchen, library, entertainment room, etc.

Therefore, on average, 4 people have a suite, and there is still a lot of space.

Yingying and Yanyan returned to their residence, took off their makeup and changed their clothes, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost noon.

There is still some time before the lunch time at 12:00, everyone is active, and some girls who are familiar with Li Youhu come to her room on the second floor of the east wing of the courtyard, chatting and discussing the book "The Sleeping Room" that the other party just got. Tiger Hidden Dragon.

"There are foxes, in fact, I think, the words behind Mr. Westeros are the key."

Li Youhu generously allowed the girls to circulate the book, and asked with a smile to refute the girl named Yun Zijin: "Why, do I have to go to apprentice in the middle of the night, and then learn a skill like Sun Wukong to make trouble in the heavenly palace."

"What kind of apprenticeship, how obvious, is to go to bed."

It was Ouyang Shuli who spoke.

People are very adaptable. After finalizing the list, under Chen Qing's compulsion, the girls quickly got used to using each other's new names.

Hearing Ouyang Milli speak so straightforwardly, everyone immediately started booing again.

Another girl continued: "Yes, yes, because Mrs. Westeros is here, it is difficult for Mr. Westeros to point out. If you don't even have this wink, you will definitely not get the role in the end."

"Xiao Ming, your mind is too dark."

"Don't call me classmate Xiaoming, and, Yu Xuanniao, do you think your name is much better than mine?"

"You said it yourself, better than you, that's enough, it doesn't matter how much."

"Wow, I fought with you..."

"Ahaha...Jing Xiaoming, don't scratch me, be slim, come and help."

"Playing by yourself, moving your hands and feet is not in line with my elegant name of 'slim'."

"Is this showing off? It's too irritating, Xuanniao, let's beat her together."

"it is good."

Li Youhu looks at the girl

They tangled on the sofa in the living room, worried that the book would be damaged, grabbed the copy of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", got up and went to the next bedroom.

There is only one queen bed in the bedroom, but it is a double room.

Of course, no one knows someone's evil intentions, and the girls have no objection. The suite here is many times better than where many of them used to live. In private chats, there are girls who say that the furniture in the suite is all It is made of mahogany, although the design style tends to be modern and simple, it is certainly not antique, but it must also be very expensive.

Chen Xingwei, who just ran to take a bath instead of playing outside, was sitting in front of the dressing table in a bathrobe and was doing facial care. When he saw Li Youhu coming in, he just glanced at her sideways and turned his eyes again. mirror in front.

Feeling the abnormality of the other party, Li Youhu opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

The two just happened to be selected into this national style art troupe together again. Because of their differences in personality, they have never been very good.

Putting the novel in his cabinet, Li Youhu thought about it and walked into the bathroom.

When he came out, someone was no longer there. After a pause, he walked over to open his cabinet and found that the book was still there. Then he sat down in front of the dresser and started to do facial care in earnest.

This is the nursing training that the girls specially received after being selected by the Guofeng Art Troupe, including all kinds of expensive skin care products are specially provided.

Because this profession requires frequent heavy makeup, which is very harmful to the skin, maintenance is also very important.

In fact, there was no such stress in the past, and it will not be able to afford it.

However, after becoming a member of the Westeros system, they are not lacking in the treatment that Wei family maids should have. Maintaining the best appearance and body state through various maintenance is both a benefit and a requirement.

After the maintenance, the clothes were changed, and it was time for lunch.

Li Youhu's character is proud and straightforward, but he is not stupid. He is a little hesitant to go downstairs to have lunch with everyone.

After all, what happened in the morning, even if it was joking on the surface, would definitely provoke some jealousy. In the end, I decided to go later. Anyway, the lunch time will last until 1 pm, and it seems that there is no performance task today. It is probably okay to go to eat after a little.

However, just after hiding in the room and watching TV for a while, Wei Sanchai, who was also noticed by Simon Westeros in the morning, knocked on the door, saw her there, and said, "Fox, why don't you come down to eat?"

"I'm not too hungry, I plan to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Cancha had already said: "Come on down, Miss Chen brought delicious food here, saying that it was a reward given to us by Mr. Westeros. I'm still looking for you, it must be the one, um, "The Lying" "Tiger Hidden Dragon" thing."

Miss Chen is naturally Chen Qing.

That being the case, I had to follow me downstairs.

When I came to the restaurant downstairs, it seemed very lively here. Several waitresses in the inner courtyard were distributing food for everyone. One of the roast pigs was very eye-catching, and it made people drool.

In fact, the art troupe's catering standards are quite high. Although there is very little meat in order to keep them in shape, the variety of fruit salads they provide every day was unthinkable, and many of them are imported.

Seeing her appear, Chen Qing came over, took her to the corner of the restaurant, and said, "You can go back to the capital in the afternoon, and there will be an acting course for you. I have already contacted, it is in Zhongxi, and then You just have to focus on preparing for that movie."

Li Youhu agreed subconsciously, reacted, hesitated a little, and asked again: "That, Miss Chen, Mr. Westeros didn't say...tomorrow."

Chen Qing interrupted: "The boss is joking, you are serious."

"Then... next month, America?"

That's what she cares about most.

Now that the country can break the head for an opportunity to go abroad, who knows if it will be missed again. What's more, this side also promises to be naturalized directly in the United States, and this opportunity is even more precious.

Chen Qing said: "The plan in this regard will not change. I will continue to arrange acting classes for you when you get there. Therefore, your English ability should also be strengthened as soon as possible. In short, there is a fox, this is a rare opportunity, but you must also Remember, this is just an opportunity, and the boss has not given you any promises. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your efforts."

The two discussed for a while, Chen Qing sent each other to dinner, and was about to leave when a woman who was obviously much older than the girls around came over. She looked like she was in her thirties, but her appearance and temperament were no worse than the surrounding green apples, but she was better. Some. Moreover, the woman was holding a little girl in her hand, carved in pink and jade, like a doll.

The woman stopped Chen Qing with an uneasy expression: "Miss Chen, that, I heard that Mr. Westeros didn't read the "Chu Yun" I edited in the morning?"

"Yeah, but I should watch it in the next few days," Chen Qing said, glancing at the little girl the woman was pulling, and then said: "Ms. Liu, you have danced for so many years, and there are still many awards. Coupled with the status of a national first-class actor, it is definitely no problem to be a choreographer. I will discuss with the boss in the past two days about whether you want to bring your daughter to the United States, and there will be a response soon. Moreover, this It's just a small matter for the boss, it's not a big problem."

Having said that, Chen Qing's eyes drifted over the woman again, and some different meanings flashed in her eyes.

"Then, thank you Miss Chen." The woman didn't notice Chen Qing's strangeness, and didn't dare to urge her. She politely said, and pulled the little girl next to her: "Feng'er, thank you sister quickly."

The delicate little girl like a doll was instinctively a little timid in front of Chen Qing, but she still obeyed: "Thank you, sister."

Chen Qing reached out and pinched the girl's face and reminded: "Remember, don't run around here, it will cause trouble to your mother."

The little girl agreed softly, and leaned slightly closer to her mother.

Children's intuitions are always sharper.

The big sister in front of her is not as amiable as she seems.

The woman holding the child heard what Chen Qing said, and quickly assured: "Miss Chen, don't worry, I will be optimistic about Feng'er, and I will never let her run around."
