Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 57 Huayi's Invitation

On the day of the GG shoot, Xu Jingxing arrived at the hotel lobby early in the morning to wait.

Since Xu Jingxing had finished filming, his room lease expired yesterday, so he had no choice but to pay for two more days.

What's even more infuriating is that I couldn't extend my stay at the group-buying price offered by the film crew, and in the end I had to pay the original price for the extended stay.

The answer is simple: they're rich and can do whatever they want.

The wrap-up payment arrived in my account yesterday, adding another 36,000 to my account.

Seeing that the person hadn't come down yet, Xu Jingxing went to the coffee shop next to the hotel and bought a few cups of coffee. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he saw Fan Bingbing wearing big sunglasses and walking out with a large entourage.

Two minivans promptly pulled up in front of the hotel.

Upon seeing Xu Jingxing, Fan Bingbing greeted him, and he followed her into the first van.

Once inside the car, Xu Jingxing noticed that a woman in her forties was already sitting in the passenger seat.

"Jingxing, this is my agent, and also the president of Huayi Brokerage Company, Mr. Wang Jinghua."

Xu Jingxing quickly extended his hand to greet Wang Jinghua, "Hello, Mr. Wang, my name is Xu Jingxing, it's a pleasure to meet you."

At the same time, he also shared the coffee he was holding.

Luckily, I bought a few extra cups.

"I've heard Bingbing mention you before. You're quite good. She rarely praises people." Wang Jinghua smiled as she took the coffee from Xu Jingxing's hand.

"It's an honor to work with Sister Bingbing, and I've learned a lot from it," Xu Jingxing said modestly.

After listening, Fan Bingbing smiled at Xu Jingxing in a friendly manner.

Wang Jinghua placed her coffee on the cup holder and turned to look at Xu Jingxing:

"Xiao Xu, I'm pretty straightforward and don't like beating around the bush. I'm here today because Bingbing told me about a promising new actor. She also asked you about him yesterday, and since she knows you haven't signed with a company yet, so... are you interested in joining Huayi?"

Wang Jinghua was interrupted by the driver's sudden braking. After the car stabilized, she continued:

"This isn't your first time acting, so you should know that a good platform is crucial for establishing yourself in the industry. We can provide you with resources and a top-quality platform."

After speaking, Wang Jinghua and Fan Bingbing exchanged a glance, waiting for Xu Jingxing's reply. They both seemed certain that Xu Jingxing would accept the invitation.

After all, for a new actor, this is practically like a windfall.

Indeed, according to common sense, it would be something that many newcomers and even veterans would be eager to have their newcomers directly recruited by the president of Huayi Brokerage.

If Xu Jingxing hadn't been reborn, he would have agreed without even thinking about it in his previous life.

But Xu Jingxing was, after all, reborn, and he knew that once he signed with a brokerage firm, although his resources would improve, there would also be many restrictions imposed on him.

He knew that only by taking control of his own voice could he better utilize the advantages of his rebirth and make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Wang, Sister Bingbing."

Xu Jingxing looked at the two of them sincerely and said, "I am very grateful to Huayi Company for recognizing my talent."

Wang Jinghua is already prepared to draft the contract and take Xu Jingxing to sign it after filming ends today.

Fan Bingbing was also happy, because becoming colleagues meant she would have more opportunities to work with Xu Jingxing on set in the future.

"but......"

The word "but" made both of them frown simultaneously.

"But I don't plan to sign with a management company for the time being."

"Huh? What?"

Wang Jinghua's smile vanished instantly; she hadn't expected a newcomer to reject her so decisively.

"You don't plan to have a long-term career in the entertainment industry?" Fan Bingbing asked.

"This has become my lifelong goal," Xu Jingxing said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Are you planning not to sign with any company, or do you simply not want to sign with Huayi?"

Wang Jinghua asked the key question.

If she simply didn't want to sign with Huayi, the loss of face she suffered today would be something Xu Jingxing couldn't afford to bear in his current state.

It might crash before it even takes off.

"Mr. Wang, I don't plan to sign with any agency," Xu Jingxing said.

"Going it alone?" Wang Jinghua's tone had softened somewhat, and a bold assumption had formed in his mind. "Xiao Xu, what does your family do?"

"We're just an ordinary working-class family," Xu Jingxing replied.

After listening, Wang Jinghua sneered, "Xiao Xu, aren't you overestimating the entertainment industry?"

After saying that, she turned her head and picked up her phone to look at it.

She only came because she was giving Fan Bingbing face.

Huayi has its own training channels for new talents. If it weren't for Fan Bingbing's intervention, no new talent who hasn't achieved any results could be directly transferred to Huayi.

Fan Bingbing looked at Xu Jingxing in disbelief. She really didn't expect Xu Jingxing to refuse, but since things had come to this, she could only shake her head helplessly.

When he really hits a wall, he might realize how terrible his mistake was.

Upon arriving at the filming location, Wang Jinghua greeted the brand representatives, and then the driver took her away.

Her original purpose in coming here today was twofold: first, to assess Xu Jingxing's abilities, and second, to sign a contract.

Since there's no possibility of signing a contract, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.

The managing agent was left here to oversee the project.

The director of this GG film is a newcomer named Li Ming. He looks very young and seemed a little nervous during the coordination process.

But when the conversation turned to his professional field, he seemed like a completely different person. His speech stopped trembling and he stopped stuttering. He went over his filming ideas in detail with Fan Bingbing and Xu Jingxing.

This time, the character is a wedding dress guy, with no lines throughout the entire performance. Fan Bingbing will only need to add narration in post-production.

The script that Fan Bingbing sent the day before yesterday only contained some action design and design concepts for a wedding dress brand.

The filming wasn't difficult; the two just needed to act affectionately and lovingly.

After the couple changed into their wedding dresses and suits and had their makeup done, Li Ming demonstrated the planned poses again before the photoshoot began.

[Xu Jingxing:]

[Acting Skills: 60/100, Lv2]

[Analyzable attribute detected:]

[Can absorb Fan Bingbing's acting skills bonus +52.]

[Should it be absorbed?]

draw!

[Xu Jingxing:]

[Acting skill: 60 (+52)/200, Lv3]

At the same time, Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Xu Jingxing also carried a hint of smugness.

That familiar feeling is back.

With the sound of the clapperboard, the two walked hand in hand under the green screen of the studio.

The next shot shows them embracing face-to-face, both gazing at each other with deep affection.

In the next shot, Fan Bingbing stands in front, striking various poses, while Xu Jingxing makes a rectangle with his hands, pretending to take a picture of Fan Bingbing.

Then came various close-ups of Fan Bingbing.

In the final shot, Xu Jingxing gently kissed Fan Bingbing on the cheek, pulled her into his arms, then lifted her up in a princess carry, spun her around, and ended the filming.

"Card!"

The director's voice came from behind the monitor.

Just as I was about to put Fan Bingbing down, I suddenly heard her let out a gasp.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, Sister Bingbing?" Xu Jingxing asked.

"The crystals on your clothes look like they've gotten caught on them."

"crystal?"

Xu Jingxing looked down.

Fan Bingbing's crystal was caught on Xu Jingxing's button; if he were to put her down now, it would inevitably tear her clothes.

However, after the two of them had just pulled each other, the area where they were hooked had already partially exposed Fan Bingbing's chest to Xu Jingxing's eyes.

"You...you look up."

Fan Bingbing noticed Xu Jingxing's gaze, her tone tinged with embarrassment and annoyance, but she dared not struggle too much.

"I didn't see anything," Xu Jingxing hurriedly looked straight ahead, explaining in a somewhat flustered manner.

"But you... you're pressing against me!"
