"Then congratulations in advance. Come, let's have tea in place of wine!"
Xu Zhixuan smiled and clinked glasses with the three of them. He was neither proud nor hypocritical. After all, this was a rare opportunity. However, the other three didn't take it seriously. If they were willing, the Wang brothers would definitely treat them as the main characters. Xu Zhixuan only saw the joy between friends, without a trace of jealousy.
"Hehe, you guys..."
Xu Zhixuan's words were interrupted by a knock on the door, which made him frown. He didn't understand who would come to disturb them at this time, but he was sure that it was definitely not food. After all, they had just sat down.
"You are?" Xu Zhixuan stood up and opened the door. He saw a man and a woman standing at the door. Of course, Xu Zhixuan knew who they were, but he still frowned and asked. He was just curious as to why these two people would appear here and even come looking for him.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. I'm Huang Xiaoming. May I ask if Chen Kun and the others are inside?"
The person who came was Huang Xiaoming. It seemed that his appearance wasn't accidental, but Xu Zhixuan didn't understand why Huang Xiaoming would bring his girlfriend over even if it was a gathering. During the time on set, Xu Zhixuan, Zhao Wei, and the others naturally gossiped a lot, including Huang Xiaoming. It was just that his impression of his girlfriend wasn't very good.
"Come in first!" What else could Xu Zhixuan do? He could only let them in. As soon as they entered the room, Huang Xiaoming hugged Chen Kun and Zhao Wei. He only shook hands with Zhou Xun and quickly let go. This made Xu Zhixuan raise his eyebrows. It seemed that he cared about his girlfriend.
"This is Xu Zhixuan, my friend and one of your bosses!" Although Zhao Wei didn't understand why Xiaoming Huang would suddenly appear here with his girlfriend, she could tell from Chen Kun's eyes when Xiaoming Huang entered the room that he might have leaked the information to Xiaoming Huang. Moreover, she, who was both beautiful and intelligent, naturally knew that Xiaoming Huang was here for Xu Zhixuan.
Xiaoming Huang pulled Yang Ying over to Xu Zhixuan. He already knew about Xu Zhixuan's position in Huayi Brothers. Other than visiting, his main purpose was to get to know Xu Zhixuan. After all, he had only opened his studio at the end of last year and needed some connections. Of course, the most important thing was that he was here for his girlfriend, Yang Ying!
"Hello, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Xiaoming Huang, and this is my girlfriend, Yang Ying!"
"Hello, I'm Yang Ying. You can also call me Baby!" Holding Xu Zhixuan's hand, she smiled like a blooming flower and introduced herself to Xu Zhixuan. Her words were actually not relevant at any other time, but at this moment, it was a little inappropriate. When Xiaoming Huang introduced her, he didn't introduce her by her English name, only by her Chinese name. It was clear that Xiaoming Huang actually minded it a little.
After all, everyone understood what the word 'baby' meant. Now, Yang Ying's introduction caused Zhao Wei and Chen Kun to frown. Although Xiaoming Huang maintained his smile, Xu Zhixuan could see the anger in his eyes.
"Eh! Hello, Miss Yang. Let's sit together! " Xu Zhixuan loosened his grip and invited the two to sit down. Xu Zhixuan was a very smart person and sat next to Zhou Xun. He already understood that Xiaoming Huang and Chen Kun were most likely here for him.
"Why are you here? Aren't you filming a movie?" Zhao Wei smiled and helped to pour tea. She had been friends with Xiaoming Huang for more than ten years. Since she already knew Xiaoming Huang's purpose, as a friend, she would help if she could. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, she took the initiative to step forward.
"Well, I'm free, so I came to visit. We haven't gotten together in a long time!" In fact, he wasn't free. Originally, he didn't want to come. After all, he was busy filming his movie "Ordinary Man." Yang Ying didn't know where she heard that Di Renjie was going to film the second part of the movie, so she specifically asked around to see if there was a chance. Among them, Xu Zhixuan naturally appeared in her line of sight.
An actor from Korea heard that the lead role of Di Renjie's second part had been given to him in private. After a lot of investigation, she found out that Xu Zhixuan was a new antique of Huayi Brothers. She heard that he even used the company's shares. As for how much he had, she didn't know. However, she heard that Xu Zhixuan was currently filming "Painted Skin 2" with two of her boyfriend's best friends. She kept pestering Xiaoming Huang to help her get to know him. Her purpose was naturally to fight for a role in Di Renjie's second part of the movie.
While Xiaoming Huang was catching up with Zhao Wei, Yang Ying sat down on the other side of Xu Zhixuan. In fact, the private room was quite big, and the table wasn't small. They didn't have to squeeze together. However, the purpose of her trip was Xu Zhixuan. How could she let go of this opportunity?
"Can you give me your autograph? I've watched your movie recently. It's really … "After signing the autograph for Yang Ying, Xu Zhixuan saw that Yang Ying was still talking about her feelings after watching 'Uncle'. Xu Zhixuan hurriedly looked at Zhou Xun for help. It seemed that his decision to sit next to Zhou Xun earlier was right. This person was coming for him.
Zhou Xun had already guessed the reason for Xiaoming Huang and Chen Kun's appearance. When Zhao Wei took the initiative to pull Xiaoming Huang and Chen Kun to catch up, she completely understood that her guess was right. However, she just wanted to see how Xu Zhixuan would face it. Therefore, when she saw Xu Zhixuan's request for help, she ignored it. She leisurely drank tea and watched the show.
"Please come in!"
Xu Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of the waiter saved Xu Zhixuan. However, when the waiter left, Xu Zhixuan invited everyone to take a seat. While they were eating and chatting, Yang Ying finally sat next to Xiaoming Huang. This made Xu Zhixuan complain to Zhou Xun, who was sitting next to him.
"What were you guys talking about just now? I heard it from outside the door!"
It was naturally impossible to hear it. The private room door was far enough from the dining table. How could they hear it so clearly? This was just Xiaoming Huang's wording to break the deadlock. After all, their appearance was indeed a little sudden. Moreover, they weren't familiar with Xu Zhixuan.
"We were congratulating Zhixuan just now. He took on a big production!" Zhao Wei started to ask for help. Just now, Xiaoming Huang had already asked for their help. Although it was for his girlfriend, for the sake of their many years of friendship, they would help if they could. Anyway, it was just asking for help. Whether or not they could get Xu Zhixuan to help, it was up to them.
"Oh, what movie is it?" Yang Ying's eyes lit up. It seemed that her information was not wrong. The second lead role of Di Renjie had already been decided by Xu Zhixuan. She was a little excited. She grabbed Xiaoming Huang's arm and asked Xiaoming Huang to start the topic.
"Director Xu Ke's second movie in the Di Renjie series is produced and invested by Huayi Brothers. You should know about it, right?" According to the Wang brothers' character, they would either give all the roles to their own company's artists or take them out for trade. Although Xiaoming Huang opened a studio, it was impossible for him not to know about it.
Xiaoming Huang naturally knew about it. He had already asked around. Wasn't he here to fight for a role for Yang Ying in this movie? He had already asked carefully and knew that this movie was to promote Xu Zhixuan. Moreover, with Xu Zhixuan's position in the company, this was the shortest path to take.
"I've heard about it. I just didn't expect it to start so soon. Have you chosen the roles?"
Xu Zhixuan shook his head. This time, he could see that Zhao Wei and Chen Kun wanted to help if they could. They did not intend to hide it. He remembered that Yang Ying was in the cast list in his previous life. As for which role, he could not remember.
"I'm not sure. However, the company has already decided on the role of Di Renjie. I'm not sure about the rest."
Yang Ying could not hold back her excitement. She said happily, "Then, do you have a suitable role for me?" After all, anyone with a discerning eye knew that as long as Di Renjie's second movie did not lose the quality of the first movie, it would definitely be a hit. For Yang Ying, it was naturally a temptation.
Yang Ying's impulsive words made everyone, including Xiaoming Huang, a little unhappy. However, for Xiaoming Huang's sake, they did not pursue the matter. However, even if Yang Ying knew about it, she still could not help but be excited. This was a big production. It was obviously a free ride. Moreover, she was aiming to be the female lead. Although she did not get the script, she knew from Xiaoming Huang that there were two important female characters in the movie.
Wu Zetian, the Empress of Tang Dynasty, and also the only female Empress in history. Yang Ying did not even think about this role. She could not control a celebrity. Moreover, she had some connections in Hong Kong. Naturally, she knew that the role of Wu Zetian in the second movie was still Liu Jialing. After all, with the foundation of the first movie, as long as there were no accidents, it would be difficult for anyone to compete with her.
Therefore, Yang Ying set her eyes on the other female character, Rui Ji! She was a peerless beauty in her prime with outstanding dancing skills. She was the top courtesan in Luoyang. When she went out, she could attract thousands of people. She was originally a couple with the young master of the tea house, Yuan Zhen. However, because of Yuan Zhen's family's decline and his mysterious disappearance, it turned into a tragedy.
As a matter of fact, when Yang Ying heard that she had not even started choosing her role, she was naturally very excited. As long as Xu Zhixuan was willing to help, her chances of winning would be very high. Naturally, she could not hold back her excitement and lost her composure.
After being held back by Xiaoming Huang, Yang Ying smiled embarrassedly to cover up her loss of composure. However, she still looked at Xu Zhixuan with anticipation. After all, among everyone present, Xu Zhixuan was the only one who knew the content of the movie the best.
"Yes, there is. A courtesan role, one of the female leads!" With Zhao Wei and the others present, Xu Zhixuan had to give them face. After all, they still needed to audition in the end. He knew that after the Wang brothers gave the role to Xu Zhixuan, Xu Zhixuan threw a tantrum. It was only after the screening of "Uncle" that Xu Zhixuan was satisfied with the acting in it.
Even if he helped, the most he could do was to leave a good impression in front of Xu Ke. Whether or not he could be chosen was still unknown. However, if Yang Ying was chosen in his previous life, she must have her own methods. Xu Zhixuan took the opportunity to do her a favor. After all, it was just a matter of a sentence!
