In the end, under the double deception of Chen Mo and Xie Lan, Xiaolong followed them to a restaurant.
They didn't order any big fish or meat, just some home-cooked side dishes. The two men ate it like a wolf, and the battle was resolved in about ten minutes.
After putting down the dishes, Xiaolong said: "Mr. Chen, do you really want to film a movie with me?"
After Chen Mo wiped his mouth with a tissue, he nodded with a smile: "Yes, Sister Lan and I both see that you have great skills and are very suitable for the requirements of the TV series we want to shoot. However, I don't know if I can ask, Where did you learn martial arts?"
"There's nothing I can't ask about this. My martial arts was taught to me by my father, but now he..."
Maybe it was because Chen Mo didn't show any pretense when eating just now, which made Xiaolong couldn't help but feel good about him, so he briefly talked about himself and his family's situation.
Only then did the two of them know Xiaolong's full name, Long Yi.
He was also a miserable child. He lost his mother when he was a child. When he was in junior high school, his father, Long Hanqing, was visited by his enemies and lost his right hand because of it.
Since he could no longer practice martial arts, Long Hanqing drank all day long to drown his sorrows. As a result, he was diagnosed with uremia when Long Yi was in his first year of high school. Because he couldn't find a suitable kidney source, he had to keep sneak attacks. After more than a year, his family could no longer afford it, so Long Yi dropped out of school to work in his second year of high school.
Three years have passed. Even though we now have a suitable kidney source, we still have no money for surgery.
He also went to seek help from his only relative in the family, but he never saw her in person. After being scolded through the door, he had no contact with her again.
After talking about himself, Long Yi looked at Chen Mo with hopeful eyes and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, can I really film? I don't need to be paid, as long as my dad can complete the operation."
"Of course you can, but you can't do it without remuneration. Otherwise, what will happen to your dad during the recovery period after the operation?"
Looking at the young man in front of him who was less than twenty years old, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh. Compared with Long Yi, he was much better back then.
What is commendable is that under such pressure, the other party can still maintain such a mentality. It is really not easy.
Now he no longer thinks about inviting the other party to act in a movie, but plans to sign him under the company. As long as he is trained well, he might become a kung fu superstar.
He believes in his own vision!
Then Chen Mo expressed his thoughts, and Long Yi was even more unbelievable after hearing this. He could not only film, but also become a real actor. In that case, he would have a stable income.
No matter how much or how little, life finally has hope.
"Xiaolong, where do you and your father live now? Let's go see your father first, and then tell him about you. If you don't mind, we can go back to Chengdu together, and then let your father do the surgery first. The company will help you pay the expenses first, and you will pay them back later when you have money?"
"Of course, I think he will be very happy to hear it."
As he said this, Long Yi was about to get up, then stopped. He looked at the unfinished food on the table: "Mr. Chen, can you ask someone to pack these things?"
"Of course it's no problem. Your father is lucky to have a son like you."
After saying that, Chen Mo called the waiter and whispered a few words in his ear, and the latter took away the unfinished dishes. Ten minutes later, the waiter placed the packed meals on the table: "Sir, these are all made according to your instructions. You are welcome to come next time."
"Okay, thank you!"
After settling the bill, Chen Mo and Xie Lan left the hotel with Long Yi.
The latter's home is in an old alley, where there is a large green brick courtyard, in which about a dozen families live. The latter and his father live in the smallest room.
"Dad, I'm back. This is today's lunch. You eat it first."
When you open the door, you can see a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion sitting on a small square stool. Long Yi walks up and puts the packed meals on the small table.
Long Hanqing looked at his son in surprise: "Why are you back so early today?"
"That's right, Dad, this morning I...so Mr. Chen and Sister Lan wanted to come over and ask your opinion."
Hearing what his son said, Long Hanqing noticed that there were two more people in the room: "Are you two saying that you want my son to go filming and sign him to your company?"
"Yes, Mr. Long, Xiaolong is very good. You have a good son."
However, after hearing Chen Mo's words, Long Hanqing did not show any joy on his face, but continued to ask: "Is it really just filming? Although Xiaolong has been working hard in society for a long time, he is still a child after all!"
"Where did Mr. Long go? I'm a serious entertainment company. You can check it online."
Chen Mo almost laughed at the former's words. Looking at what he said, those who didn't know thought he was selling some kind of flour!
Then Long Hanqing took the business card and actually took out his mobile phone, which was almost broken on the ground, to check it. After confirming the situation, he nodded.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I'm also afraid that Xiaolong will be deceived. Since Xiaolong is really allowed to film, I don't have any objections. Speaking of which, I was the one who dragged this kid down. Otherwise, with his talent and ability, I’m afraid he will become a national martial arts champion like his two senior brothers.”
Long Hanqing's inadvertent words made Chen Mo and Xie Lan's eyes light up.
There are two national martial arts champions. If we could invite them all, wouldn't the protagonist team be fully assembled? Then I'll find some action actors and basically everything will work!
So Chen Mo quickly asked: "Mr. Long, I wonder where your two disciples are now?"
Long Hanqing from Laojianghu didn't know what Chen Mo was thinking. He shook his head and sighed: "I haven't contacted them since my right hand was crippled. After all, they were not big at that time. It's not good to involve them. .”
"Can you please tell them their names and we can visit them in person?"
"There is nothing wrong with this. Xiaolong's two senior brothers are Xie Feixuan, the national Bajiquan and Baguazhang champion, and Yu Ying, the national spearman and swordsman champion. If Mr. Chen is interested in contacting them, I can bring their I’ll tell you the contact information, but you have to promise me one thing.”
"Mr. Long, no matter what you say, I will never refuse if I can do it!"
Chen Mo nodded with a smile and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
