I practiced in the United States

"Mom, where are you going? Get in the car."

Qiao Yuhui had just taken two steps when she heard her daughter's voice coming from behind.

She turned around and found that half of her daughter had already gotten into the car and was waving to her.

Until the car almost drove to the hotel, she still didn't understand why her nephew became what others called the chairman.

Her sitting posture has always been very upright. She usually talks a lot, but today she didn't say a word in the car for a long time.

Once upon a time, she had participated in such a pick-up ceremony in the company. She held a sign and stood in line, waiting for a long time. At that time, she received the CEO of a listed company. Thinking about it now, the pomp was not as big as it is today.

Liu Menglin held her cheek with her hands. Her thoughts had crossed the ocean and flew back to her school. It would be great if her cousin was in China, so that maybe no one would dare to bully her.

Suddenly, Yang Zhenghong, the director of the Huaqiang Martial Arts School who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and glanced behind him quietly.

Li Ang knew what he was thinking and said directly:

"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are not outsiders here."

Yang Zhenghong smiled slightly and quickly started talking.

"That's right, Chairman Li, a game company has found us in the past two days and wants to invite you to help them shoot a set of promotional videos for their games. We are also discussing this matter here and plan to learn more about it first before telling you. Yes, you just came over today."

In fact, because the game involves some Chinese Kung Fu content, the game company plans to go to the Chinese Martial Arts Association here to select a martial artist to film the game.

It happened that when he came over, he saw Li Ang's posters hanging on the walls of several martial arts schools. Not only did he have a good image and temperament, but his martial arts skills were also unquestionable. After further inspection, Li Ang's background was quite extraordinary. Not only does it span multiple sports fields, but the number of fans across the entire network has exceeded one million.

Although games and sports are not in the same field, the overlap between the groups is still quite high. Therefore, Li Ang's achievements in the sports field can naturally play a positive role in the promotion of games.

Li Ang nodded and asked:

"How much did they quote? And the shooting time have been discussed?"

The two people here are chatting, and the two people next to them are listening.

At first, I was quite surprised when I heard that someone was asking Li Ang to shoot a promotional video. This is the treatment of a star. Ordinary people can play a role in a TV series and show their face for just one second, which is enough for them to show off everywhere. But Li Ang's tone didn't sound like he was that excited about this matter.

Yang Zhenghong replied:

"Their price is not too high, probably around 80,000 US dollars, but I believe that if we talk about it, it should be no problem to talk about 100,000 US dollars."

Li Ang hummed and continued:

"The time also needs to be discussed. I have to play outside with them these days. I may not have much time. If it doesn't work, forget it."

This price is indeed too average for him at the moment. If he hadn't considered that making a promotional video for such a large game is a mutually beneficial thing, Li Ang might not have agreed at all.

After all, while Li Ang helped promote the game, he also indirectly increased his own popularity. He even said that the benefits in this area may exceed this part of the remuneration.

When she heard Li Ang say that he even thought about giving up because he wanted to accompany them, Qiao Yuhui quickly persuaded him:

"It's okay. If you have something to do, just do your own thing. We can arrange it ourselves. Your work is important."

Just kidding, it costs 80,000 US dollars to shoot a video, which is equivalent to 500,000 RMB. Many people may not earn this much money in ten years.

At first, she wanted to take Li Ang with her because she felt that Li Ang was idle anyway. One of them contributed money and the other contributed, so it would be nice to go out and have fun together.

Now that she knew that Li Ang's time was so valuable, how could she dare to let Li Ang accompany them.

Li Ang just smiled and said:

"The reason why you make money is not for a better life. If you can't even guarantee your normal life in order to make money, there is no need to earn much money."

What he said was very Versailles-like. If it were applied to ordinary people, he would definitely be scolded, but if applied to himself, it seems that there is indeed no problem.

Qiao Yuhui and Liu Menglin also nodded in agreement. If you have money, whatever you say is right.

Fortunately, the next day, after further contact and communication with the video director, the other party said that the shooting time was not too urgent, and it would be at least a month later. The remuneration for the shooting was also discussed at one hundred thousand US dollars. The two of them said Only then did I put aside the guilt in my heart and feel relieved.

But soon, something new happened.

Before the contract was officially signed, the manager of the publicity department of the game company also came here. After learning that the director actually wanted to spend a budget of 100,000 yuan on a movie like Li Ang, who had never made a movie before and had no experience in the gaming and film circles. When it comes to anyone with basic popularity, she won't be happy on the spot.

"I don't know what criteria you use for selecting people, but there is no way for me to pass this candidate. Our company has very high expectations for this game this time, and it's not just for you to just find someone to take a photo of." Okay."

She spoke so loudly that even Li Ang and Yang Zhenghong, who were still in the reception room, could hear her. It was unclear whether it was intentional or accidental.

Although the director tried his best to explain, there was no way. They were the client and they had to make the final decision on this matter.

"I already have a new candidate, a popular male star at the moment"

Speaking of this male star, the manager of the company's publicity department even changed her expression, making it difficult not to wonder whether she was selecting someone for the company's game promotional film or chasing stars.

"But his salary is probably at least one million, right? Will this exceed the budget?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I will persuade the boss."

After a while, the young director, who had just turned 30, came in with great regret to tell Li Ang the news.

"I'm really sorry, you know, some clients"

As he spoke, he pointed to his head, indicating that they might not be very smart.

"I'm very sorry for breaking my promise, but I can't make the decision on this matter, so."

Li Ang waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, this matter can't be blamed on you."

"In addition, I have another order from another game company. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Speaking of which, I think this game may be more suitable for you. Your joining may have the effect of one plus one being greater than two."

It's true that after listening to the situation of another game, Li Ang was indeed aroused some interest.

"So when will the video of this game company be shot?"

"This video is relatively urgent. Due to the size of the company, the remuneration is correspondingly less. The shooting time may be within this week. Because of personal reasons of the previous leading actor, he temporarily stood up."

Li Ang frowned and continued: "If it is these few days, I may not have so much time. You know, I also want to take my relatives to play around."

"In fact, I don't think it's a big deal. Have you ever considered taking them to the shooting site? This time the shooting location is on a small island made of volcanic rocks. Maybe this will be a good trip."

Li Ang thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense. Indeed, this kind of unique travel experience is not something that most people want to have. Anyway, it's not impossible to experience something new and go to places that have never been to.

As expected, after Li Ang told his fourth aunt and cousin, the two of them happily agreed.

Originally, they didn't know what to do when they came here, and they had to spend money to go somewhere else. Even if Li Ang planned to pay for their travel expenses, she didn't have the nerve to keep spending her nephew's money.

Moreover, this choice also took Li Ang's work into consideration, and they really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

For the game company, Li Ang could even serve as the action director of the video, which could be regarded as reducing part of the publicity and distribution costs again.

With everyone's consensus, the matter was quickly settled. Li Ang didn't even bother to pay attention to how much money he would be paid. Anyway, these tens of thousands of dollars were better than nothing.

However, the company finally set a reward of 100,000 US dollars for Li Ang. It can be seen that they are still very sincere, and the money was squeezed out by them from all aspects.

But from this point of view, Li Ang felt that although their current scale was not too large, it would definitely be more promising than the previous company.

On the other hand, actually playing with them did not affect Li Ang's own practice.

With Li Ang's current [spirit], one hour of sleep a day is enough to replenish daily consumption, and when practicing some internal skills, it also replenishes his own energy.

Therefore, he can play during the day and practice at night, combining work and rest, and the efficiency is not low at all.

In the next two days, Li Ang took them to New York to eat and spend a lot of money. Looking at the teenage Liu Menglin, Li Ang always thought of himself.

When you are young, it is always easy to be satisfied, maybe drinking a bottle of soda, maybe buying a remote control car, or being able to skip school for a day, or the person you secretly love can say a word to you.

But most of the time, due to various reasons in reality, even some small wishes cannot be satisfied.

There are some regrets, which are left until you grow up. Even if you fill them ten times or a hundred times, you can never fill such a pit.

Therefore, rather than saying that the money is spent on her, it is better to say that it is spent on Li Ang's former self.

The efficiency of the company there is also quite high. On the third day after the discussion, Li Ang was notified and prepared to set off to the island for filming.

Because of Li Ang, many coaches from the martial arts schools under the association also participated and assigned some minor roles to them.

For them, even if there is no reward, these young coaches are very willing to participate. As a boy, who hasn't played a few games, now being able to play an NPC in the game is also a dream come true.

After everyone arrived on the island by boat, Li Ang had to admit that the location for this shooting was quite good.

This island is almost made up of volcanic rocks. There is basically no vegetation on the island. The black volcanic rocks, because of the natural flow, form various patterns, and naturally have the atmosphere of the game.

Before they came, the scenery on the island had been built, and basically as long as Li Ang came, they could shoot.

Everyone basically saw this kind of scene for the first time, and combined with those artificially built things, it really gave people a feeling that this place was not like the real world.

After reading the script two days ago, Li Ang had roughly designed some actions based on the content of the game.

It was just that after several staff members learned about the actions designed by Li Ang, they quickly raised questions.

"Dear Li, I'm sorry, but I have to say that we may not be able to provide you with the protective devices and props you need to complete these actions."

"For example, in this shot of climbing up the cliff, it is difficult for us to set up wires at this location. Do you think you can consider changing it?"

"Well, you may have made a mistake. When I designed these actions, I didn't consider other auxiliary devices."

"Ah?"

At Li Ang's insistence, they still planned to see the situation when they actually filmed. After all, in terms of martial arts action design, Li Ang is really the most professional among the people present.

A few hours later, the actors' makeup and costumes were all ready, and they could officially start.

Li Ang's costume was the shape of an ancient general in armor, and he played the final boss in this game.

When this costume came out, everyone present was stunned. Li Ang's temperament and figure perfectly fit this role. Just standing there motionless, he has brought the temperament of the villain to the extreme.

"To make this sword as realistic as possible, it may be quite heavy. You have to be careful when swinging it."

As soon as the props reminded him, Li Ang was already holding the sword and making a few beautiful sword flowers. If this prop was not made by him, he would have suspected that it was made of foam. It was difficult for him to hold it with both hands, but he could make a lot of flowers with one hand.

Soon, the formal shooting began.
