The Star-Crossed Path to Glory Chapter 8

The man on the horse was none other than Ethan Chase.

"hiss!"

At the critical moment, the frightened white horse jumped up to stop its charge, and its front legs were less than a foot away from the middle-aged man's head.

On horseback, Ethan Chase held the reins in his hands, his face was stern, and his stature was tall and straight. If he were to change into a set of armor at this moment, he would look like a god of war.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, a group of people immediately surrounded them.

"Master Ba, are you okay?"

"Who's watching the horses?"

"what happened?"

Various sounds followed.

Ethan Chase calmed the white horse, got off the horse, handed the reins to the staff, and said, "The horse is timid. It must have been frightened by some small animal that suddenly appeared. It's fine now."

The middle-aged man, who had calmed down, walked forward and took a look at the young man in front of him. He was tall, strong, handsome, and had a heroic look between his eyebrows. He immediately said cheerfully: "Thank you, young man. If you hadn't helped me just now, I would have been killed."

Ethan Chase had already guessed from the shouts that this person was Yuan Heping. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "You are too kind, Master. I just happened to be there."

happen?

When the white horse rushed over just now, everyone nearby subconsciously moved away. There was no one there.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. This young man was extraordinary. Not only was he fast and courageous, but more importantly, he remained calm in times of danger.

Zhang Jin at the back was still standing there in a daze, wondering how the person who had just been standing next to him had gone there in the blink of an eye, and most importantly, had saved Yuan Heping.

"Are you from our crew?" The director frowned. He had never seen such a person before. Although he rescued Yuan Heping, he broke into his own crew without permission, which was a violation of regulations.

"No." Ethan Chase told the truth.

"Eighth Master." Zhang Jin squeezed in from the crowd and said with a smile: "He is my junior fellow apprentice, named Lu Fengxian."

"It's Zhang Jin." Yuan Heping smiled kindly and said, "I sent someone to look for you, but you didn't find me, so you came here on your own."

Seeing that it was someone Yuan Heping knew, the director said nothing more and asked the onlookers to disperse.

After learning about Lü Bu's situation from Zhang Jin, he immediately said, "If you don't mind, follow me in the future. Although I can't guarantee that you will get a role, you will have no problem with food."

Zhang Jin was waiting for this sentence, his joy was beyond words, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Ba."

Nowadays, there are four major behind-the-scenes teams for Chinese action movies, namely Cheng Long's Cheng Family Team, Hong Yuen-bao's Hong Family Team, Liu Jialiang's Liu Family Team, and Yuan Heping's Yuan Family Team.

With this relationship, you will never have to worry about not having roles to play.

But Ethan Chase did not thank him. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have admired you for a long time. I am lucky to meet you today. I have a humble request."

Zhang Jin was very surprised and didn't know what he was going to do.

Everyone in Yuan Heping's team suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yuan Heping smiled and said, "You say."

Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Ethan Chase made a surprising move, bowed and clasped his fists, and said: "I want to take the eighth master as my master."

this...

Saving people comes first, then becoming a disciple. This is moral kidnapping!

Everyone sneered at this action.

Zhang Jin: These are my lyrics!

Yuan Heping looked at Ethan Chase deeply and said in a lukewarm tone: "Since you are Zhang Jin's junior brother, don't you have a master?"

Lü Bu was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he said: "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. The coach taught me martial arts, and I will naturally remember the kindness in my heart. Now I have come out to make a living, and I don't know anything. Master Ba is the best martial arts director in the circle, and he is the role model we pursue. Now I have this opportunity, if I don't express my feelings, I will regret it in the future."

These sets of words simply stunned the rough guys in Yuan Heping's team.

The most surprised person was none other than Zhang Jin, as he knew Ethan Chase best.

Quiet and taciturn?

Idle away?

Lazy and gluttonous?

These labels that have been attached to Ethan Chase for twenty years no longer fit at this moment.

Seeing that Yuan Heping didn't say anything, Ethan Chase smiled calmly, slowly stood up, and said, "I feel relieved after speaking out. Master Ba, don't take it to heart."

Now that you say so, who wouldn't take it to heart?

To be honest, putting aside the matter of rescuing him, Ethan Chase left a very good impression on Yuan Heping from his appearance and figure to his conversation and attitude.

He was also a man of temperament. After a little thought, he smiled and said, "Since you want to learn, then follow me and learn well."

Ethan Chase was overjoyed, clasped his fists and bowed again, saying loudly: "I will remember Master's teachings!"

Yuan Heping helped him up and said, "From now on, just call me Master Ba like they do."

The people around showed their envy and jealousy. In just a short moment, the crow turned into a phoenix.

Zhang Jin's eyes flashed with complex emotions. The scene he had been fantasizing about for years actually appeared. Unfortunately, the object was not him.

But the good thing is that he successfully joined Yuan Heping's team.

As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Let time witness your future achievements.

As for why Ethan Chase did this, he naturally had his own calculations.

Who else understands the concept of having a backer as well as he does?

"Fengxian, congratulations."

"Brother, congratulations."

When they returned to the rental house in the evening, the two people who had been silent all the way exchanged polite words with each other, then smiled at each other.

"I heard from several seniors in the Yuan Clan that the drama that Mr. Ba is about to film is a TV series adapted from Gu Long's novel 'The Sentimental Swordsman'." With this smile, Zhang Jin felt that the distance between him and Ethan Chase, which seemed to be getting farther, had returned.

"Li Xunhuan? Ah Fei?" Ethan Chase's eyes lit up. He had just read this book not long ago.

"Well, he directed the film together with Li Hantao and Lu Xiaowei, and Mr. Ba was also responsible for the martial arts scenes." Zhang Jin said again.

"Have all the actors been decided?" Ethan Chase asked.

"We have decided on a few. A Fei is Jiao Rujun, Lin Shiyin is Xiao Qiang, and Lin Xianer is Tian Xin. These three are all from Baodao Province. The others seem to have not been confirmed yet." Zhang Jin replied.

"I see..." Ethan Chase rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

This is an opportunity to upgrade from special guest to role player.

But the question is, which role can he get?

Li Xunhuan? There is absolutely no chance for him to play the leading male role, unless he is Yuan Heping’s biological son.

The remaining male characters with more scenes are A Fei, Long Xiaoyun, and Shangguan Jinhong. The latter two are a little older, and he is obviously not suitable for the role at the age of 20, while the younger A Fei has already been confirmed as an actor.

If that doesn't work, then we can only choose someone a little bit inferior, like Bai Xiaosheng, Shangguan Fei, Jing Wuming, etc.

He thought again and realized that he had just become Yuan Heping's apprentice, so there was no rush to get a role.

In short, act in whatever role you have, and if you don’t have any, learn in the crew. There is always a long way to go.

As for Zhang Jin, he didn't dare to think too much. He took it step by step and started from his original job as a martial arts stand-in.

Just like that, the two of them fell asleep, each with their own thoughts.
