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

Chapter 86: The Opportunity to Appear in "Struggle"

The door opened, and Yili walked in.

She was dressed in all black and wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low on her head.

He was still slightly out of breath when he came in.

It seems they've put in quite a bit of effort to avoid the paparazzi.

"Sister Yili, are you still up so late?"

After closing the door, Xu Jingxing asked.

Yili glanced at Xu Jingxing, took off her hat, and walked straight to the bedside to sit down.

"Aren't you still awake too?" Yili said with a smile.

"I just finished writing the 'Character Notes' assigned by Director Huang Lei, and I'm about to wash up and go to bed."

Fan Bingbing will be here in half an hour. I wonder if Yi Li will understand my hint:

I'm going to sleep now. You should go back to your room, wash up, and go to bed too.

"You've been getting quite close to Fan Bingbing lately."

Yili did not continue the discussion about sleeping.

"We just cooperated normally a few times."

Xu Jingxing took a bottle of water from the cabinet and handed it to Yi Li, saying, "Sister Bingbing also prefers to work with actors she's familiar with."

Yi Li didn't speak, but instead looked at Xu Jingxing with a look that said, "We're both old foxes, why are you playing these ghost stories with me?"

Receiving no response, Xu Jingxing stood awkwardly in place. The two of them remained silent for a while, one standing and the other sitting.

Ili didn't want to come over tonight.

All the film crew members are here in the hotel, so it's crowded and noisy, making it a prime area for paparazzi.

But she felt uneasy ever since she heard the question asked by a reporter at the press conference yesterday.

She was the one who recommended Xu Jingxing for this role.

Although Fan Bingbing spoke up for Xu Jingxing at the dinner, Yi Li believed that even without Fan Bingbing, given her relationship with Huang Lei, getting Xu Jingxing involved would be a simple matter of her saying a word.

But somehow, the credit for Fan Bingbing's intervention seemed to go entirely to her. Even Xu Jingxing, who used to rely on her to seek resources, is now closer to Fan Bingbing.

Even the car that Xu Jingxing was driving, Yi Li guessed was given to him by Fan Bingbing.

She had already inquired about Xu Jingxing's family situation from Wenwen; an ordinary family couldn't afford a car worth over a million yuan.

After much thought, only Fan Bingbing has this ability.

She really dislikes this feeling.

Even though it was something I had in my hand first, someone suddenly appeared, forcibly pried open my fingers, and snatched it from my hand.

So, just as she finished showering and was about to lie down in her hotel room, she inexplicably found herself in front of Xu Jingxing's room.

Looking at the man who had already flown out of her grasp, Yili's desire to grab him again reached its peak.

"In this industry, there's no such thing as help without a reason."

After taking a sip of water, Yili broke the silence.

Xu Jingxing nodded silently, agreeing with Yi Li's words.

Not only in the entertainment industry, but everywhere, there is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.

"So..." Yili paused, "my help to you wasn't without reason."

She stood up, walked to Xu Jingxing's side, and gently ran her fingers across his chest.

"Next year, there will be a film starring Zhao Baogang." Yi Li's hand stopped at Xu Jingxing's waist.

Zhao Baogang?

Xu Jingxing's heart tightened.

"Director Zhao's film?" Xu Jingxing asked. "Is it 'Struggle'?"

"You're quite well-informed," Yili said, somewhat surprised.

"I saw an interview with director Zhao Baogang before, where he mentioned that he was preparing for this TV series."

Xu Jingxing made up a reason on the spot.

"oh."

Iri responded, then asked, "Are you interested?"

"No one would be uninterested in a film directed by Zhao Baogang, would they?" Xu Jingxing smiled and asked in return.

"I can recommend you to Zhao Baogang."

After Yili finished speaking, she looked straight at Xu Jingxing, waiting for his reaction.

"I need this opportunity," Xu Jingxing said earnestly.

The TV series "Struggle" can be considered a landmark and phenomenal work in the history of Chinese television dramas.

If you want to make a name for yourself in the Chinese entertainment industry, the TV series "Struggle" is the most suitable stepping stone.

"Many people want this opportunity."

A triumphant smile had already appeared on Yili's face.

She knew that if she wanted to get something back, the price she offered had to be the most substantial, a fatal blow.

"Only I know how precious this opportunity is," Xu Jingxing said.

He grasped Iri's right hand, which was roaming over his body, and gently pushed her down onto the bed.

"what!"

Yili gasped in surprise as she was suddenly knocked down.

Xu Jingxing knew what Yi Li had been hinting at.

He looked up at the time; there were still more than twenty minutes left.

We need to finish this quickly.

"Sister Yili, which character in 'Struggle' do you think would suit me best?"

Xu Jingxing's hands had already begun to roam over Yi Li's body.

Yili didn't speak, biting her lip tightly.

Still pretending to be reserved?

Xu Jingxing's hands became even more unrestrained.

"Don't."

"What?"

Yi Li made a very faint sound, so much so that Xu Jingxing didn't hear it.

"Don't do this yet," Yi Li stopped Xu Jingxing.

She sat up and sat back down at the foot of the bed.

Xu Jingxing got up and sat on the sofa not far away.

"Actually, I think the role of Xiang Nan is quite suitable for you." Yi Li straightened her clothes, which had been messed up by Xu Jingxing.

Is it the character Wenwen played in his previous life?

"I can......"

Before Xu Jingxing could finish speaking, Yi Li interrupted him.

"However, I've already agreed to that role with Wenwen. But..."

Damn, the one with the advantage of proximity still got the first taste of the moon.

Xu Jingxing thought about the role in the play again.

Hua Zi!

The character Hua Zi is also good!

After all, he is the only one in the drama "Struggle" who actually strives.

Xu Jingxing waited quietly for Yi Li's next move.

"I was just thinking about it, and the role of Lu Tao is actually quite suitable for you."

Xu Jingxing was speechless for a moment. So this was just a joke to him.

Do you think it's appropriate and useful? Are you suggesting that you compete with Tong Dawei, who has already won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor?

"Do you want to act?" Yili asked.

"Of course I want to act, Sister Yili," Xu Jingxing replied.

Nonsense, who would play a supporting role when they can play the lead?

"However, I heard from Zhao Baogang that he prefers Tong Dawei to play the role."

Yi Li lay back down on the bed, propped her head up with her right hand, looked at Xu Jingxing, and continued, "Do you know who the investors are for this drama?"

"I really don't know much about it."

"Capital New Treasure Film Investment Co., Ltd."

Yili felt uncomfortable in the position, so she moved her body up a little and leaned against the pillow.

She continued, "I'm very familiar with Chi Yufeng, the chairman of Xinbaoyuan."

"Can he get me in?" Xu Jingxing's hope was rekindled.

Yi Li shook her head. "Zhao Baogang is a famous director after all, and investors still need to leverage his reputation, so we have to give him the respect he deserves. We can't make decisions for him directly. However, I can still help you get a chance to compete with Tong Dawei."
