Chapter 27 We seem to have met somewhere before.
After leaving the hotel, Fan Bingbing got into a waiting van. Her agent, Wang Jinghua, was sitting inside, looking at documents and making a phone call.
Upon seeing Fan Bingbing enter, Wang Jinghua spoke a few more words to the person on the phone before hanging up.
Setting down the documents in her hand, she gave Fan Bingbing a meaningful look. "I heard you strongly supported a young actor who just auditioned for Boyi Kao?"
"Sister Hua, your information network is really good. I had just stepped out when your message came."
Fan Bingbing's expression remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Hehe, as your agent, I should take extra care of you."
"I think he's alright, that's all."
"Bingbing, it's not a big deal to just slip a supporting role into the production crew."
Wang Jinghua paused for a moment, signaled the driver to close all the car windows, and then continued:
"You know the movie 'Cellphone'. Although it was a success, it also offended some people. Many eyes are on you now, so you should be more careful in your actions."
"This is the first time I've met this actor today." Fan Bingbing placed her hand on Wang Jinghua's leg. "Sister Hua, don't worry, I know what I should and shouldn't do."
"Well, that's good. Since this actor was recommended by Cheng Lidong, your support for him is a favor to him, and it won't do any harm."
As they were talking, Wang Jinghua's phone rang again. After glancing at the caller ID, she opened the door, got out of the car, and signaled to the driver that she could take Fan Bingbing back to her hotel to rest.
As the car started, Fan Bingbing took the sunglasses handed to her by her assistant, leaned back into the soft seat, and closed her eyes.
The image of the young actor who had acted opposite him earlier came to mind again.
I don't know why, but as soon as I started acting with him, I suddenly became a little different.
Fan Bingbing herself couldn't pinpoint the exact difference.
Emotions that were impossible to express before can now be portrayed, though not perfectly, but still manageable.
She had heard before that some veteran actors, those with superb acting skills, could bring their co-stars into the role through their performances.
She initially thought it was a coincidence, because Xu Jingxing hadn't even started performing yet, but she was already in character.
That's why she wanted to try a second time.
Just like the first time, under his guidance, my acting skills improved significantly.
The pronunciation is also clearer, and the tone, rhythm, and emphasis of the voice are more in line with the character's emotions.
Fan Bingbing knew that although she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for her role in the movie "Cellphone," she also faced a lot of controversy, which further reinforced the public's impression of her as a beautiful but talentless woman.
Furthermore, because of her role as Wu Yue in "Cellphone," the public believed that she could only play ambitious and glamorous characters.
That's why Fan Bingbing recommended Xu Jingxing to Cheng Lidong to play the role of Boyi Kao.
The character Daji in this drama has two different personalities. In the early stages, she is innocent, romantic, and kind-hearted, which contrasts sharply with her later lewd, cruel, and seductive nature as a fox demon.
That's why she wanted to portray the character of Su Daji well in the early stages of the story, in order to break free from the public's stereotype of her.
not to mention......
Fan Bingbing recalled the strong body she felt when she hugged Xu Jingxing, and the faint smell of old age emanating from Guan Lijie.
Who wouldn't like someone who is young and beautiful?
Fan Bingbing opened her eyes, looked out the window, and felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
......
Xu Jingxing was completely unaware of all this. Thinking that the audition was hopeless, he went to the film set where Tang Yan was filming, found a shady spot, bought an ice pop, and began to revise his next plan.
I borrowed a small stool from the old man selling popsicles, and just as I was about to sit down, someone suddenly patted me on the back.
He was already in a bad mood and was about to lash out when he turned around and spotted a familiar figure.
Wen Zhang, my classmate and roommate.
"Hey Xu, holy crap, what do you mean I ran into you here?!"
Xu Jingxing noticed Wen Zhang's confusion; wasn't he filming "Days Related to Youth" in the capital?
"I should be asking you that! Shouldn't you be in the capital?"
"The filming over there has been postponed again; it won't start until next month."
"What's going on? It's been postponed again!"
"I heard it's because the venue wasn't coordinated properly."
Wen Zhang also bought an ice pop, moved a stool and sat down next to Xu Xixi. "Forget it, who cares? I'm just a small-time actor, I'll just follow orders."
"Are you here for an audition or to film a movie?" Xu Jingxing asked.
Wen Zhang chuckled a few times and moved the stool closer to Xu Jingxing. "I met a lady at a bar in the capital, and she recommended a movie to me. I just had my makeup done yesterday."
Is it reliable?
Have you seen Huanzhu Gege III?
"I've seen it!"
Do you know who played Ziwei?
"Ma Yili?"
"That's right, this is her."
Wen Zhang crossed his legs, looking quite smug.
Xu Jingxing thought to himself, "This plot is really the same as in my previous life."
After getting involved with Ma Yili, his career began to take off.
"You're really lucky, kid." Xu Jingxing took out two cigarettes and handed one to Wenzhang.
"Dude, can you call that luck? I got this through my own hard work!"
"Tch, if you're going to suck up to someone, just suck up to them. Stop with all this useless talk," Xu Jingxing thought to himself.
"Do you know about our class monitor's situation?" Wen Zhang lit a cigarette and asked Xu Jingxing.
"What is it?"
Their class monitor is Bai Baihe.
"She's really making waves in the capital area right now. Do you know who her new boyfriend is?"
Chen Yufan.
Although Xu Jingxing knew the answer in his heart, he pretended not to know and asked, "Who is it?"
"Chen Yufan! He's from that singing group. He has tons of resources in the capital city."
"Your resources have also arrived."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about me anymore. You've come to Hengdian because you have a film to shoot. I was packing my things in the dorm the other day, and Yang Shuo told me you went to Hunan, right?"
"I finished up with things over there and got a call saying there was a role in a movie here and they wanted me to come for an audition," Xu Jingxing answered truthfully.
"How did it go? Did it work?"
"It's probably unlikely!"
"It's alright, Lao Xu, there will be plenty of opportunities."
Wen Zhang comforted Xu Jingxing for a while, then received a phone call, invited Xu Jingxing to dinner another day, and then hurriedly left.
Xu Jingxing stayed alone for a while longer, then Tang Yan called.
After answering the phone and telling her my location, I waited a while and then saw Tang Yan walking towards me with light steps.
We made plans to have a big meal together tonight. At first, we said we'd celebrate Xu Jingxing's successful audition, but after learning that the audition didn't go well, we changed it to wishing Xu Jingxing success in his next audition.
After finding a barbecue restaurant, Tang Yan called Guo Zhenni again, intending to invite her to eat together. However, she learned that Guo Zhenni had already gone to another city.
He originally wanted to sit outside, but there were no seats available, so he had to go to a private room inside. As soon as he walked in, Xu Jingxing spotted a familiar figure.
It was Wen Zhang, whom he had just met that afternoon.
He is currently sitting alone in a private room, making a phone call.
Upon seeing their classmate, Xu Jingxing and Tang Yan naturally went over to say hello. They patted Wen Zhang, who had his back to them.
"You're here, sister! This place was hard to find..."
Turning around, Wen Zhang was surprised to see Xu Jingxing and Tang Yan, and a little embarrassed.
"What a coincidence!"
"It is quite a coincidence." Wen Zhang smiled awkwardly. "Are you here for dinner too? Come on over."
Xu Jingxing thought of the phone call he received when he left that afternoon, and figured that Wen Zhang must have made plans to have dinner with Ma Yili. It would be best if they didn't become third wheels.
"No, no, Tang Yan just said she doesn't want barbecue anymore. We're going to get something else."
As he spoke, he pulled Tang Yan along and started to walk out of the restaurant.
As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into a woman wearing a hat and a mask.
Fortunately, they had just turned around, and the two only glanced at each other without bumping into each other.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Wenzhang quickly stood up. "Sister, are you alright?"
The woman wearing a hat and mask shook her head at Wen Zhang, then looked at Xu Jingxing.
"You look so familiar! Haven't we met somewhere just now?"
