The next day was Monday.
Xia Feng went to Fudan University to lecture in the morning, while Old Wang and the others went to Fenglin Entertainment.
Filming had already begun, and the initial shooting location was in Modu Film City.
Xia Lin and the others watched EDG's final match on the projection screen at home. Upon seeing EDG win their last match and defeat the Korean team, they cheered aloud.
"Wang Shao, it's a shame your team didn't even qualify for the preliminaries, or else we'd have had a chance to play around," Qin Dou said, watching EDG, the champions, on the big screen with a smile.
"Winning one championship is enough. Anyway, it's my team's first championship, and it brought me tens of billions in income."
National Little Wang chuckled.
Ever since he sold his live streaming platform, he hadn't been too invested in supporting teams; whatever happened, happened.
Now, following Xia Feng around, showing off and seeking immortality was much more comfortable.
Money couldn't be brought in or taken out of the grave; what was the point of having so much?
His family's assets were already over a hundred billion, which was more than enough.
"Indeed, once you've earned enough money, you can exit the stage and let others earn it. Having too much money also causes trouble, as you can't spend it all, and the thought of 'can't spend it all in a lifetime' always pops into your head."
Jiang Xin sighed. Who could understand such a predicament?
"Look at you all showing off. If you have so much money, buy us a super-luxury cruise ship, and we can go cruise the Pacific." Qin Wen jokingly scolded them.
"Haha... That's really unaffordable. If Lin'er needs it, we can pool our money together," National Little Wang said with a laugh.
A super-luxury cruise ship costs over ten billion to build. Without telling their fathers, they really couldn't afford it.
This was a true city that sailed on the sea.
"I don't want it," Xia Lin shook her head.
"I heard the movie has already started filming. Should we go take a look?" Ma Yuqin suggested.
Xia Feng was at school, and Old Wang and the others were out. The entire villa felt like they were useless.
They needed to find something to do.
"Speaking of the movie, it reminded me. My buddy asked me to help him arrange a role. I forgot about it when we went to Kunlun Mountain."
National Little Wang slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering the matter.
"Who? Lin Gou?" Qin Dou asked.
"Otherwise? If not him, who else would I help arrange a role for?" National Little Wang nodded.
Because the early promotion for this movie was quite intense, it had already become a sensation across the internet and even worldwide before filming even began, with the tagline of "The Cultivator Who Saved the World" plastered everywhere.
Many celebrities, both domestic and international, wanted to participate, even for a small role, just to make an appearance.
They weren't even discussing payment; they were willing to participate even at their own expense.
However, not just anyone could get into such a major production. A total of five directors were jointly directing it, including two from Hollywood, as well as China's Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Cheng Kaikui.
These three were considered very famous directors in China. They were also very happy to collaborate with the two great Hollywood directors this time.
Since receiving the invitation, these three had been receiving at least ten calls a day requesting auditions. But this time was different; none of them had the authority to decide on the cast.
They had politely rebuffed all requests with the response: "If you want to act, please contact Mr. Wang directly. We have no authority to intervene."
Even if you just wanted to play the role of someone cleaning toilets, they would still say, "Sorry, we have no authority to intervene."
Therefore, Lin Genxu found his good friend, National Little Wang, and asked him to arrange a role.
"Lin'er, my buddy wants to act in the movie. How about arranging a small role for him? I've read the script, and the senior disciple of the Tianyi Sect is bedridden as soon as he appears. I think this role suits him."
National Little Wang asked Xia Lin.
Although he could have spoken to Old Wang himself, it was better to inform Xia Lin about such matters.
"You decide for yourself. I trust the people you recommend, and besides, your father will have the final say," Xia Lin said, not having any objections. A small role wouldn't have any impact.
Moreover, Xia Lin knew who the "Lin Gou" they were referring to was, and he was quite good at acting, unlike those fake celebrities who just spouted numbers.
"Okay, I'll call him now." National Little Wang nodded and then took out his phone to call Lin Genxu.
"What are your orders, Young Master?" Lin Genxu answered the phone, joking.
"Didn't you say you wanted to act in the 'Cultivator' blockbuster? I've arranged a good role for you, it's all bed scenes." National Little Wang teased.
Lin Genxu laughed when he heard it was all bed scenes, saying, "Really?"
"Would I lie to you, given our relationship? Where are you now?" National Little Wang asked.
"I'm filming in Suzhou," Lin Genxu replied.
"Alright, take some time to come to Modu, confirm the filming order with the directors, and you can also try out the scene." National Little Wang said.
"Do we need a screen test for this? Didn't you say it was bed scenes? You can just act naturally for this."
Lin Genxu asked doubtfully. Did this scene require a screen test?
"Fine, whatever you say. Call me when you get here." National Little Wang hung up the phone.
As soon as National Little Wang hung up, Qin Dou said with a smile, "You're such a dog. I remember this role you mentioned was just introduced, and he was severely injured and lying in bed. This is indeed a bed scene."
"Hehe..." National Little Wang smiled.
"As long as you can show your face, lying there pretending to be dead is also a form of acting."
"Have we figured everything out? If so, let's go to the film city," Ma Yuqin said, looking at them.
"Let's go. I've never been to a movie filming site before," Xia Lin said with a smile.
"Me neither, so let's go." Liu Jingru seconded.
After discussing, they drove towards Modu Film City.
Although Modu Film City couldn't compare to Hengdian, it was still a decent film base.
Modern movies relied heavily on post-production. It wasn't like in the past, where people had to trek through mountains and rivers and endure all sorts of hardships to shoot scenes on location.
Now, all it took was a green screen, and any scenery you wanted could be arranged perfectly.
While saving costs, it also made things somewhat artificial.
For example, if you were on a snowy mountain, in reality, you might be sitting in a room during filming, and the snowy mountain would be added in post-production.
Upon arriving at the film city, they parked their car and headed towards the shooting base for "The Cultivator."
As soon as they reached the entrance of the crew, two security guards blocked their path and politely asked, "Excuse me, you can't enter here. If you want to take pictures, please go elsewhere."
"We are from Fenglin Entertainment. Don't you recognize him?" National Little Wang said.
Qin Dou pulled National Little Wang forward and pointed him out.
Everyone knew that Old Wang was the one who handled matters for Fenglin Entertainment.
The guards saw that it was National Little Wang himself and politely said,
"Oh, it's Young Master Wang. Please, come in."
