Chapter 52

"Divine human?" Many people who were unaware, such as Su Jing, Zhu Jianhua, and Wang Lie, looked at Qin Xulan with confusion. Guo Biting, Jin Shijia, and others were stunned for a moment, then glanced at Su Jing, wondering if what Qin Xulan had said before was not just boasting but true.

"Qin Xulan, don't act crazy here." Wang Lie glared at Qin Xulan. This guy was always lazy and irresponsible; if it weren't for his father's connections, he wouldn't have been allowed to join the production team.

"Director, I'm not acting crazy. I'm telling you, this divine human has over a dozen divine dogs, and each one is no worse than the Labrador we're filming." Qin Xulan looked somewhat excited.

"How do you know I have many dogs?" Su Jing asked.

"I saw you kick that bad guy away yesterday." Qin Xulan laughed.

"I see." Su Jing suddenly understood.

"Could the person who helped the police catch the robber with a group of dogs be you?" A cameraman suddenly asked.

"What? It's already on the internet? You didn't tell me earlier." Qin Xulan was taken aback.

"Here, there are even photos and videos." The cameraman put down the camera, took out his phone, and showed everyone. The video showed a group of dogs chasing and Su Jing kicking the bad guy. Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far, and the resolution was low, making it hard to see the face clearly, but it could be matched with Su Jing upon closer inspection.

"See, I told you I wasn't lying." Qin Xulan said smugly.

The others ignored Qin Xulan and looked at Su Jing with a slightly strange expression, wondering what kind of divine being he was. Not only did he have such a divine cat and a group of divine dogs, but his athletic ability was also extraordinary. His running and hurdling speed was indeed as fast as Qin Xulan said, even faster than Liu Xiang.

"The lead dog is a Labrador." Wang Lie was overjoyed when he saw that the lead dog in the group was a Labrador. "Mr. Su, can you bring your Labrador too? If it's suitable, we'll hire it to be one of the four dogs in the film."

"Four dogs? Isn't the main character just one dog?" Su Jing was taken aback.

"Ha ha, the main character is indeed one dog, but we need three dogs for filming. It's like a human stand-in, but there's no clear distinction between the main and the stand-ins." Wang Lie explained with a smile. The three Labradors were all about one year old and had been trained since the beginning of last year. They learned over 40 physical training subjects and over 100 plot-related skills. They could ride skateboards, use washing machines, and take out the trash, but each one only knew a part of the skills, so they had to work together. Since people don't recognize dogs as easily as they do humans, as long as the appearance and size were similar, it was hard to tell them apart, making it easy to use stand-ins.

"I see." Hearing that it was just a stand-in, Su Jing lost some interest, but since he was letting Xiaoli participate, bringing the Labrador along wasn't a problem. "Sure, I'll bring it over later."

"Can you sell me one too?" Qin Xulan pleaded.

"My dogs are very expensive." Su Jing smiled. Apart from his favorite golden eagle, the man-eating vine that couldn't be shown to the public, and the orca he couldn't sell, he didn't mind selling other pets as long as the price was right.

"How expensive? Will you sell for 100,000?" Qin Xulan asked.

"No." Su Jing shook his head. Although the dogs hadn't eaten much magical beast meat and hadn't changed as much as Xiaoli, they had been trained with the Ten Thousand Beast Card for many days and were very intelligent.

"300,000." Qin Xulan immediately raised the price.

"No."

"500,000, is this price high enough?" Qin Xulan gritted his teeth.

"No."

"800,000." This time, Qin Xulan hesitated for a while.

"Deal." Su Jing remained calm, but he was secretly delighted. Zhu Jianhua was stunned, thinking that he was waiting for Xiaoli to become famous and sell for a high price, but Su Jing had just sold a dog for 800,000, which was like robbing money.

Many people on the scene were also interested when they heard Qin Xulan wanted to buy, hoping Su Jing would sell, but the price quickly rose to 800,000, making them hesitate. Most of the actors in this drama were not very famous and couldn't afford 800,000 to buy a dog.

Guo Biting could definitely afford it, but she didn't have the habit of spending a lot of money on pets. She mostly adopted animals. Of course, if she really wanted one, Su Jing wouldn't mind giving her one for free.

"Director Wang, wait a moment, I'll go back and bring the dog over." Su Jing drove Zhu Jianhua's car back home and brought the Labrador and a stray dog. Since there was no traffic and no need to wait for a bus, the round trip only took an hour and a half.

"Wow, this dog is so majestic." When Su Jing came in, everyone gathered around to look at the Labrador. Qin Xulan happily led the majestic stray dog and immediately transferred 800,000 to Su Jing, as if afraid he would change his mind.

"But Director, this can't be a stand-in, right?" A staff member brought over one of the three Labradors used for filming. This Labrador was also tall and handsome, very photogenic, but compared to the one Su Jing brought, it was clearly inferior. The audience isn't stupid; such a stand-in would be immediately exposed.

"It's not obvious in the video, but seeing it in person, it's truly majestic." Wang Lie was shocked.

"Can this dog also perform?" A man with glasses and a gentle demeanor asked. He was the screenwriter, Liang Hua.

"Of course." Su Jing smiled. Ah Da had learned many things from him and could perform more tricks than Xiaoli. He commanded Ah Da to show off a few moves, such as standing upright, doing a handstand, bowing, serving tea, and water, as well as expressing sadness, anger, happiness, and tension. He quickly impressed everyone. Especially at the end, when Su Jing played "Gangnam Style," the Labrador stood up and danced the horse-riding dance, stunning everyone.

"Old Wang, let's make this Labrador the lead." Liang Hua said.

"But it's too different from the other three. What about the scenes we've already shot?" Wang Lie frowned.

"We'll replace all the scenes with dogs. We've only shot two or three episodes. I think we should also revise the script. To make the dogs cooperate, we had to lower the difficulty, but now we can increase it and truly film a 'divine' dog." Liang Hua said excitedly.

"Revise the script? Isn't that too much trouble?" Wang Lie didn't expect Liang Hua to be so serious.

"No, the main plot doesn't need to change, and the human parts don't need to be altered. We just need to modify the details about the divine dog. Using this dog, we can definitely achieve those effects." Liang Hua said.

"Alright, I'll contact Old Liu and hope for a change." Wang Lie was not indecisive and made the decision immediately. He called the producer right away. The only headache was that the original three Labradors had signed contracts, and breaking them would cost money, so the producer's agreement was needed. Fortunately, Ah Da quickly impressed the producer and investors. Moreover, one dog replacing three could save on special effects and other costs, potentially making up for the loss. So, it was quickly decided to make Ah Da the lead.

In the end, it was agreed that Ah Da's salary would be 30,000 per episode, with about 40 episodes, totaling around 1.2 million. This was based on Ah Da not being famous yet; if the drama became popular, his value would definitely increase. Xiaoli, due to intermittent appearances, would receive a total of 200,000, which was also not low.

Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua never expected that they would come to audition for a supporting role and end up with the lead role. This was a pleasant surprise.
