Huayu: I know the scripts of the entertainment industry inside and out!

Chapter 21 Bai Mengyan Goes Crazy!

"Sister Yan is so generous!"

Xu Lang replied to her again.

The reply came instantly: "You have to treat me to a big meal when we get back!"

"no problem!"

The two didn't talk much before Mao Xiaotong came over.

The two then went to have dinner together.

Dinner was at a private restaurant, a quiet place with exquisite dishes, which was an excellent setting to warm up the atmosphere.

Mao Xiaotong skillfully steered the conversation towards the current state of relationships within the entertainment industry and the possibility of developing feelings for someone while filming a drama. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, making her hints almost explicit.

Xu Lang pretended to be clueless, keeping the conversation focused on his professional field, and refusing to engage with the emotional appeal he was being offered.

Back at the hotel!

Mao Xiaotong was a little doubtful and went to Zhang Xinyu again, saying that she had made her hints very obviously tonight, but the other party was still unmoved. Could it be that she had been imagining things all along?

Zhang Xinyu still insisted on letting her take the initiative one more time, so as not to have any regrets.

The two drank quite a bit, and in the end, they took off their clothes, hugged each other, and slept.

The next day it caused a little embarrassment!

The next few days!

The filming went smoothly, and Mao Xiaotong asked Xu Lang to have dinner with her almost every day, giving him hints, but Xu Lang still didn't confess his feelings.

As Xu Lang's filming wrapped up, she grew increasingly panicked.

Just one day before filming wrapped!

She mustered her courage, intending to take the initiative. After much deliberation, just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

He swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Yu Zheng pushed open the door and walked in, adjusting his glasses and sporting his signature smile.

Xu Lang and Mao Xiaotong were a little surprised and stood up to greet them:

"Teacher Yu!"

Yu Zheng approached the two of them and said with a slightly apologetic tone:

"Sorry to bother you, I'll just take up a little of your time."

He looked at Xu Lang and said very seriously:

"Xu Lang, your scenes will wrap up tomorrow. I'd like to talk to you again about your management contract."

"Conditions are negotiable. The conditions I offer are definitely no worse than those offered by Tang Ren and Huanrui. You can speak frankly about your thoughts."

Many people couldn't help but tease him about his rejection, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Lang added chopsticks and bowls for him, filled his glass with wine, raised a cup, and said sincerely:

"Teacher Yu, it has nothing to do with conditions. I really just haven't made up my mind yet. If I were to sign with a management company, you would definitely be my first choice. I can assure you that."

Yu Zheng maintained his professional smile, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, picked up a piece of meat, chewed it for a moment, and swallowed it.

"You have no interest in Tang Ren or Huanrui? They promised to give you a top-tier celebrity as a supporting actor, aren't you tempted?"

Xu Lang smiled and said, "Even top-tier celebrities can't compare to real money. Teacher Yu, you are the real mastermind. Even top-tier celebrities need big bosses like you to invest in them to rise to fame."

"Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, weren't they both made into top-tier celebrities through your influence?"

"You have given me, Yelü Qi, this opportunity; it is a great favor that you have shown me. I, Xu Lang, am not an ungrateful person."

"In conclusion, you will always be my first choice; I will only consider other companies if you don't want me."

His words both praised Yu Zheng's status and vision and expressed gratitude, making even his refusal feel comfortable.

Although he was still rejected, Yu Zheng felt much better, at least not as bad as the first time he was rejected.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him, a smile on his face:

"Xu Lang, Yelü Qi's scenes will wrap up tomorrow. I'll throw you a wrap party."

"I've seen all your hard work over the past month. You have tremendous potential. I don't recommend you take the civil service exam. You're a natural-born actor."

"You're photogenic, good-looking, and have good acting skills. Most importantly, your face is very appealing to audiences. Keep at it, and you'll definitely succeed."

Xu Lang hurriedly raised his glass and said:

"Teacher Yu, without your guidance back then, I, Xu Lang, wouldn't be where I am today. This glass of wine should be mine to toast you!"

They clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Zheng was also very decisive. He drank it all in one gulp, picked up his chopsticks, and reached for a piece of pork belly, but stopped just before touching it.

Turning his head to look at Xu Lang, he seemed to have thought of something:

"What's your relationship with the girl who had breakfast with you the first time we met? Could you tell me about her?"

Mao Xiaotong's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at Xu Lang's subtle changes in expression, seemingly trying to catch any clues.

Xu Lang pretended to think, then suddenly remembered something and said:

"Oh, her? She's a model, just like me. She's not in Hengdian right now; she's gone to another province. I'll talk to her and see if she can find some time to come back in the next few days."

He was quite surprised!

Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng set his sights on Bai Mengyan at their first meeting. Sure enough, his eye for talent is always as sharp as ever, just like in his previous life.

It was only because his own path had changed that these two met earlier, which could also be seen as helping Bai Mengyan enter the entertainment industry sooner and avoid taking a few detours.

His rebirth triggered a series of butterfly effects.

He doesn't feel guilty as long as it's good.

This dinner, which Mao Xiaotong originally planned to use to confess her feelings, was ruined by Yu Zheng's arrival.

I can only keep these thoughts to myself and hope that there will be other opportunities in the future.

And there's the wrap party tomorrow.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three left.

Xu Lang returned to the hotel and immediately called Bai Mengyan, but she didn't answer. She sent a message saying she was still busy and would call back later.

He then went to wash up.

While waiting for Bai Mengyan to return the call, I chatted with Yang Chaoyue, Yang Rong, and Zhang Yingxue.

Yang Chaoyue's conversation remained focused on the milk tea shop, and she also mentioned that she had already taken leave and would be going to a class with Xu Lang the day after tomorrow.

Yang Rong, his older sister, was very considerate and cared about his next project. She even offered to use her connections to help him submit scripts and get him recommended through internal channels.

While I can't guarantee a lead or second lead role, I can try to get audition opportunities for important supporting roles.

Xu Lang told her that he had already decided on "Gu Jian Qi Tan" (Swords of Legends), and the two talked about the script and the role for a long time.

Zhang Yingxue's situation is relatively simple. She herself has many ulterior motives, but she is constrained by her agent and agency, so she can only keep stirring things up.

Besides the three girls, he also got along well with several male actors in the crew, such as Chen Xiao, who played Yang Guo; Zheng Guolin, who played Guo Jing; and Yan Yikuan, who played Wang Chongyang.

In the entertainment industry, connections are an invisible resource.

Xu Lang waited until his eyelids were drooping, but Bai Mengyan's call didn't come. Just as he fell asleep, his phone rang.

I picked it up and glanced at it; it was a video call from Bai Mengyan.

Connect and take a look!

She was wearing pajamas, her hair was still a little wet, and she was completely without makeup, clearly having just come out of the shower.

Before she could speak, Xu Lang interrupted:

"I'm sleepy, I'll talk to you tomorrow!"

Snapped!

It's dead!

This caught Bai Mengyan off guard, leaving her completely stunned as she stared at the cold, unresponsive phone.

"You bastard, how dare you hang up on me?"

I called back immediately, but after only two rings, they hung up.

In an instant, my damn competitive spirit was ignited!

Dial again!

A cold message popped up on the screen: "You are not yet friends with this person..."

???

"ah--"

Bai Mengyan is going crazy!

Have you been blocked by a friend?

Let out a frantic scream!

Dial the mobile number!

"Xu Lang, you're finished! Answer the phone! Now! Right now! Otherwise, you're dead!"

Five rings, then it's over.

Hit again!

"The number you dialed is currently busy..."

My phone number has also been blocked...

"Ah... Xu Lang, you're dead meat! Wait till I get back, I'll show you what I'm made of!"

"You're not answering my calls tonight, and you still want to sleep? No way!"

I dialed the hotel phone, hesitated for a long time, and then Xu Lang's tired voice came through:

"Hello, who is this?"

"Xu Lang, you bastard, you dared to block me... um... feed me... ah..."

This is insane!

It's dead!

All that could be heard through the receiver was a busy tone.

Bai Mengyan stood there dumbfounded, staring at the landline receiver in her hand, on the verge of losing control in disbelief.

That night, in a hotel room in Hengdian, no one was destined to sleep.
