Chapter 605: Chapter 605

Moreover, He Jinxia’s key developments are in Huaxia, so she’s not likely to become competitors with those in the United States. Thus, the actors feel at ease and are happy to make friends with her.

He Jinxia felt more and more embarrassed as she listened, feeling that her role in the crew wasn’t quite right, and she seemed to be trending towards becoming the "Chinese Martial Arts Spokesperson."

Apologetically, she said, "Sorry, my agent booked me a flight for the afternoon, it’s already been arranged, and it’s too late to change now, so I have to leave in the afternoon."

At these words, a shade of disappointment appeared on everyone’s faces.

He Jinxia said a few more words and then left the actors’ circle to greet the director.

Director Wilson knew she was leaving the crew today, as she had informed him the day before. Seeing her approaching now, he nodded at her and said, "You’ve booked your flight, haven’t you?"

He Jinxia nodded, "Yes, the afternoon plane."

Wilson seemed to have thought of something, a glint of insight flashing across his eyes, and he asked, "After returning to Huaxia, will you continue filming, or are you planning to take a break?"

These schedule details were no secret, so He Jinxia wasn’t afraid to share, saying cheerfully:

"I have a new film starting mid-March. I was worried I might breach the contract this time, but didn’t expect the crew to be so efficient, wrapping up more than a week ahead of schedule, so I can rest a while after returning to Huaxia."

Wilson seemed surprised, "Just resting for a little over a week and then moving on to a new film?"

It’s no wonder he was surprised, as actors on his side would rest for more than two months after a major film before considering a new project, unless there was an emergency in a production and some actors couldn’t film, prompting a quick replacement.

He Jinxia shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "No choice—the good scripts wait for no one. If I miss this film, I can’t guarantee that I’ll get another chance at such a wonderful role."

Wilson sighed, "The Chinese film and television industry used to lag behind, but in recent years, it’s been catching up quickly. Your directors are determined, and actors are even more so. With such momentum, the revival of film and television is not far off."

He Jinxia smiled slightly without responding.

Each country’s national condition is unique. Foreigners marvel at the diligence of the Chinese, but who knows if Chinese actors actually want to work overtime and work late nights?

Both countries have actors’ unions, but each country’s actors’ union is different.

Wilson’s contemplation paused and he looked at her, "I hope you have a pleasant rest back in Huaxia. We’ll start post-production on the film tomorrow, and I’ve set aside three months for it, though of course, it might be completed a few days early.

If everything goes smoothly, the film should be able to meet the global audience by Children’s Day, and Huaxia, being a major contributor to box office revenues, is likely to be selected as one of the simultaneous release regions. At that time, we’ll need your help with promotion."

As he said this, Wilson smiled kindly at her and added, "The crew will provide you with a satisfactory compensation."

That was exactly what He Jinxia loved to hear!

In Huaxia, promoting a film upon its release is a mandatory obligation for actors, and the crew does not offer additional compensation.

However, overseas, the processes of filming and promoting a film are separate. If an actor is diligent in promotion, they can earn a substantial "hardship fee."

A glimmer appeared in He Jinxia’s eyes, as she had previously heard that Wilson would try to premiere the film during the Labor Day Golden Week, which was a whole month earlier than the release date he had just told her.

After some thought, she felt that delaying the release by a month was actually a good idea, as it would allow more time for post-production and could improve the film’s quality even further.

He Jinxia’s eyes curved, and she said with a beaming smile, "When you need to do promotions, communicate with my agent in advance, I should be filming on set then, and all the schedules will have to be reported to the production team in advance."

Listening to what He Jinxia meant, she had readily agreed to help the production team with the promotions.

Director Wilson nodded slightly, his gaze towards He Jinxia filled with even more satisfaction. He had a thought in his mind that this girl, her character was remarkably similar to the female lead in his old friend’s movie.

She loved money but acquired it ethically, possessed the virtues of the common people, and yet also the nobility of the aristocracy. She radiated a mysterious and enchanting aura from her very bones—truly the quintessential heroine material!

Wilson made up his mind that, once he got through with his busy schedule in the next few days, he would make time to visit his old friend again. Such a good role couldn’t be wasted on another actor!

Seeing that the director had suddenly fallen silent, He Jinxia didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t disturb him. She turned and continued to greet other actors.

Finally, He Jinxia had lunch with all the members of the production crew.

Even though the wrap party was to be held in the evening, the lunch was spontaneously decided by the production crew members to have with He Jinxia as a send-off.

Although the filming was less than three months, everyone in the production crew liked this beautiful star from the East very much.

Her acting was spirited, her demeanor gentle, and she handled matters with a grandeur that showcased the temperament and grace from Huaxia in the East, captivating everyone.

In fact, while filming with the production crew, He Jinxia had received no less than five love letters, and even some actresses confessed to her, giving her quite a scare.

After lunch, sent off by the members of the production crew, He Jinxia boarded the plane back to Huaxia, leaving behind the passionate and romantic lands of the United States. Who knew when she would next return.

The wrap time of "High School Musical" was moved up, and the reporters didn’t get wind of it; so when the plane flew to Imperial City, He Jinxia got off very smoothly blending in with the common crowd.

Taking a taxi all the way back to Dongting Lake Garden, the journey was smooth sailing, and upon entering her home, He Jinxia felt a sense of surrealness as everything seemed too smooth.

But in a short while, she came back to her senses and thought she was being too presumptuous.

Even though her popularity hadn’t decreased from the Golden Custard Awards ceremony to the New Year’s, it didn’t mean she had become a top-tier celebrity, nor did it mean she was a traffic star.

Things ebb and flow, the tide always recedes one day, but the rotation of the world never stops.

Thinking this, He Jinxia adjusted her somewhat inflated mentality after winning the Berlin Crystal Bear Award and faced the new Chapter in her career more rationally.

To celebrate Jinxia’s early wrap-up, Mrs. He prepared a lavish dinner for her, and Aunt Rui and Sheng Yan naturally came down from the upstairs to join the meal.

After dinner, the two mothers agreed to go shopping together, leaving only He Jinxia and Sheng Yan at home.

He Jinxia looked at him for a few seconds before one of them said indifferently, "I’ll go upstairs to get the new disk; we can watch it in 3D mode, action movies are especially cool in this mode."

He Jinxia immediately replied, "Then I’ll go wash some fruit."

The two of them shared a smile and each got busy with their tasks.

While watching the movie, He Jinxia and Sheng Yan also started chatting.
