Chapter 74 Be wary
"Li Qing?"
"Scout?"
In the deserted passage, Deng Siya repeated in a low voice the key points of Li Qing's words that concerned her.
"Since you're a talent scout, why don't you look for more of those guys who dress up like peacocks courting mates instead of looking for a stunt double for me." Deng Siya stared at Li Qing with a smile on her face, "Or do you fancy me?"
"Is my sister's charm so great? Haha."
Li Qing tilted his head and did not refute Deng Siya's words.
"You could say that. I think you are a good match for the image in the movie we are planning. That's also a kind of charm, isn't it?"
"It's an honor, then. But I have to work recently, so I can't be a big star for you." Deng Siya was not convinced by Li Qing. She had heard this kind of talk countless times.
A newly debuted young actress might foolishly believe it and be fooled.
Then sign a contract to sell yourself, either accept the bad dramas arranged by the small company, or terminate the contract with a high penalty, otherwise freezing is also an option.
Deng Siya even heard that some small companies do not focus on making movies and training new talents as their main business, but instead go to great lengths to coax good-looking newcomers into signing a contract to sell their bodies, and then deliberately force them to use their bodies in exchange for roles, which is commonly known as the "unspoken rule."
In this way, the newcomer faces two choices. One is to choose not to obey, pay a high penalty to terminate the contract and leave the company, so that the company can obtain additional cash flow; the other is to choose to surrender. In this way, the company cannot lose money. As the company has the handle on the newcomer, will it still be afraid of not making money in the future?
By then, whether it’s letting the newcomers shoot some large-scale movies or simply making photo albums, we will have something to hold against them.
Do newcomers dare to refuse the company’s request?
And if it comes to this point, it will be very difficult for newcomers to leave, just like being stuck in a swamp.
If you don't make a desperate effort to survive by cutting off your limbs from the beginning, you will only sink deeper and deeper until you are covered in wounds and lose your usefulness, and are dragged into the depths of the swamp by the company, disappearing without a trace left.
So, she is not the kind of person who likes to fantasize.
Don't fall for others' praise, and don't fantasize about becoming famous overnight or making a fortune.
"That's right, you don't know anything about us, so you really can't force us."
Li Qing shook his head and laughed. He knew Deng Siya's information through Zhang Liang in advance, and he knew that insisting on it would only arouse Deng Siya's disgust.
That would be even more unpleasant, and Bai Xuemei's chance of inviting Deng Siya would be even slimmer.
Just like fishing, you can't be impatient. After putting the bait, pretend it doesn't exist and always be prepared for the empty air.
"How about taking some medicine for injuries before you leave?"
Li Qing took out a brand new bottle of bruises medicine and shook it in front of Deng Siya to indicate that it was unopened.
Afterwards, Li Qing did not walk over and hand it to Deng Siya, but put it on the ground.
"I saw that you seemed to be injured, and I didn't know if you had any medicinal wine to rub on yourself, so I bought a bottle on the way."
"You can check our information and you will know that we are not a scammer's foreskin company... Although we look like one, we are a formal studio and the scripts we shoot have certificates."
"Remember, my name is Li Qing, our studio is called Qingyuan Studio, the movie we are going to shoot is called "Blind Heart", and our crew is called the "Blind Heart" crew. You can find all of this on regular websites."
"If you have any ideas later, please feel free to contact me."
After saying that, Li Qing didn't plan to stay any longer. He had said everything he needed to say, and there was nothing more to stay for.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. The rest depends on whether you can impress Deng Siya.
After all, it's still the lack of fame and money... If he had fame, would Li Qing have to worry about those amateur actors always looking at him as a liar?
Do you need to worry that the other party might think he is a trafficker and be on guard against him?
If he had money, would Li Qing have to run around looking for actors?
Just offer a sky-high salary and the actors will come forward, and they are guaranteed to do well in the audition.
Deng Siya stepped forward only after Li Qing left.
Pick up the medicine for bruises left by Li Qing.
During the filming, there was a part of fighting scene that she was a stand-in for, and her wrist was accidentally hit at that time. Deng Siya had already gotten used to it.
Then, Deng Siya saw that there was a business card underneath the medicine.
Li Qing’s name and the address of Qingyuan Studio, as well as Li Qing’s contact number and WeChat ID.
It seems that Li Qing put it in together with the medicine for bruises.
Dream, I don’t know when it started…
Deng Siya thought about it and finally did not throw away Li Qing's business card. Instead, she put it inside her clothes and put it away solemnly.
When I was a kid, I thought it was good enough to just live and grow up...
As for why she would put on elaborate makeup when no one could see her...
Deng Siya left the studio and walked aimlessly.
She doesn't have a stable job. Sometimes she works odd jobs at a barbecue restaurant, and sometimes she works part-time as a delivery man. She has a lot of jobs, and being a nude stand-in is just one of her many jobs, and it is considered an easy job.
Because of her good figure, she was satisfied with the remuneration she received.
Of course, there will definitely be some malicious directors or actors who will hint at her, but she has never responded and has no intention of reporting it.
It implicitly conveys the idea that she is unwilling, but also does not want to care.
Therefore, those who can become directors are all shrewd people. They can choose anyone they want. Why would they risk ruining their reputation by getting a stunt double? So they did not continue to force Deng Siya, but some of the convenient special treatments were naturally gone.
Even if slightly famous actors are driven by lust, they have agents assigned by the company to watch over them and prevent them from doing anything that would damage their popularity. They are considered part of the company's property and cannot be messed with.
As for the less famous ones, Deng Siya can handle them by herself. She has never been a good girl in the eyes of ordinary people since she was young, but she does not have the habit of not fighting back when being beaten.
The experience of fighting with the wild kids in the village from one end of the village to the other end made those pretty boys vulnerable.
Not to mention, she now carries with her anti-wolf spray and crotch-kicking equipment whenever she goes out, so she is not afraid of anyone.
"'Blind Heart'... I don't know what it's about."
Deng Siya was walking aimlessly on the side of the road, not knowing where to go, and slowly thought of Li Qing again.
She has a home, but it is not a safe haven for her soul.
A home without family is just a temporary residence.
Since he said he could find them all...
Deng Siya took out her cell phone and searched, and the first thing that appeared was the slogan.
【The eyes are the only windows to the soul, and to not see is to be blind. 】
