Chapter 666: Chapter 666

Recently, Yu Yanyu had become quite the hot topic, ranking among the top in popularity among the new generation of young actors. Director Liu had invited him to act in the show partly to boost its viewership.

Yu Yanyu’s acting... In this film, he didn’t really need any acting skills; just being himself was enough.

Thinking about it, He Jinxia felt that this role was tailor-made for Yu Yanyu.

As for the second male lead Ren Xiao... He Jinxia turned to look at him. The second male lead’s role was significant, serving as a crucial storyline driver. Director Liu wouldn’t easily choose an ordinary actor for this part.

In terms of topical heat, Ren Xiao naturally couldn’t compare to Yu Yanyu. Since their last collaboration on a reality show, she hadn’t heard much news about Ren Xiao, almost as if he had vanished.

Apart from his charming looks, his receiving Director Liu’s approval probably meant he was also quite skilled in acting.

Thinking this, He Jinxia felt somewhat relieved. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIＦire.net

She scanned the crew and noticed Qiu Zhenze nearby, his face serious and eyebrows furrowed as he watched the two new actors.

Somehow, He Jinxia felt like she could read Qiu Zhenze’s mind. He was probably doubting whether these two were reliable, harboring suspicions about Director Liu’s judgment as well.

Recalling how Qiu Zhenze had confidently declared his trust in Director Liu’s instincts last night, he was likely now falling into self-doubt.

No matter what the other actors thought, at least the crew members were very welcoming towards these two.

In just the morning, these two young actors had not filmed any of their scenes yet, but they had already outshone the main actors, attracting greetings wherever they went.

At lunch, Yu Yanyu brazenly dragged Ren Xiao to join He Jinxia for a meal.

Ren Xiao didn’t want to disturb the senior, but Yu Yanyu forcefully pulled him along. Along the way, Ren Xiao couldn’t help asking, "You know Senior Jinxia well, why did you bring me along? I’m just an acquaintance to the senior."

Yu Yanyu replied as if it were obvious, "There’s courage in numbers, I’m not scared with you here!"

Ren Xiao: "...Actually, I’m quite terrified."

Yu Yanyu patted his shoulder, "No worries, I’m here aren’t I?"

Ren Xiao: "To be honest, having you here makes me even more frightened."

Yu Yanyu: "Even if you say that, I’m not letting go of you."

Ren Xiao: "If you’re so scared of Senior Jinxia, why would you want to approach her?"

Yu Yanyu: "Hehe, because I made an interesting discovery. Only by getting a bit closer to Sister Jinxia can I unearth the real truth. Do you want to hear it? I’ll tell you quietly."

Ren Xiao felt a chill inside, even though his hand was still being held by Yu Yanyu, he tried his best to keep his distance, turning his head away: "No, I don’t want to hear it."

In the entertainment circle, secrets are everywhere, and they are the least scary thing.

But he was afraid; afraid that he might hear something he shouldn’t.

Nevertheless, Yu Yanyu didn’t care and continued on his own: "I discovered that Sister Jinxia seems like she’s going to become my sister-in-law.

These past few days, I’ve been thinking left and right, and I found it very odd that my brother agreed to attend the event and kept bothering me about who I liked. That’s not reasonable! He definitely came for Sister Jinxia!"

Ren Xiao: "..." He said exactly what he didn’t want to hear!

Yu Yanyu turned to look at him, grinning mischievously as if he had heard Ren Xiao’s inner monologue: "Now you know everything, and to prevent you from leaking it, you must come with me to see Sister Jinxia."

Ren Xiao: "Aren’t you afraid I might actually spill the beans?"

Yu Yanyu said nonchalantly, "Not afraid, you look too wimpy to dare."

Why did that comment sting a bit?

The two quickly arrived under the tree where He Jinxia was sitting, politely greeting her with a "Hello, senior."

He Jinxia, eating her meal and not looking at them, said nonchalantly, "What do you need from me, especially you, Yanyu? You were quite well-behaved in front of me today; I’ve never seen you greet me properly before."

Yu Yanyu smiled, "Not at all, Senior Jinxia, I’ve always respected you!"

This kid just had a knack for dealing with people, a smile always ready to greet anyone, whether genuine or not, which dissipated much of the annoyance in one’s heart.

If not for Yu Yanyu and Ye Lunfei having completely different surnames, He Jinxia would have thought they were twins.

In the entertainment circle, male stars who smile are rare, Ye Lunfei is one, and Yu Yanyu is another.

Although both of them loved to smile, their faces were completely different; one had a warm smile, a typical warm-hearted guy, plus his bright golden hair, fans nicknamed him "Golden Boy," the warm-hearted Golden Boy.

In comparison, Yu Yanyu was more playful; his smile had a mischievous quality, giving off a bad boy vibe, and because he sometimes spoke very bluntly, confronting others directly, people called him "Erha."

According to Yu Yanyu, his relationship with Ye Lunfei was close as sworn brothers; it was quite a coincidence— one Erha and one Golden Boy— indeed, they had quite a bond.

Oddly enough, He Jinxia’s thoughts wandered off to Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan got along well with both of them, and if he were to be described as an animal, he’d definitely be a dangerous leopard or wolf, showing no mercy when attacking.

Just as she thought of Sheng Yan, her phone vibrated, a message from Sheng Yan saying he was having lunch.

Since he had returned to the film crew last night, Mr. Sheng had started checking in punctually for three meals a day, without finding it bothersome.

He Jinxia just looked at it, sometimes responding, sometimes not, feeling sweet inside.

Meanwhile, Yu Yanyu was lavishing praise on He Jinxia, claiming he came to her not for anything else but purely to learn, his flattery becoming unbearable even for Ren Xiao, who involuntarily tugged at his arm.

Yu Yanyu then paused mid-sentence, looked up, and realized He Jinxia was looking down at her phone, not listening to him at all.

Yu Yanyu’s eyes shifted, he cleared his throat loudly, finally drawing He Jinxia’s attention.

He said, "Actually, the two of us came to ask how you usually train your acting skills. ’Eighteen Years Old Sky’ is only your second movie, but its success is clear to everyone.

You performed wonderfully, and the other two leading actresses were also quite good. Did you teach them some tricks?"

He Jinxia raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself how this young man clung to her, apparently offering help without being asked, clearly wanting something.

"The three of us filmed separately, the plot doesn’t really connect much, and I only met the other two leading actors in Berlin. Xu Xiuzi’s performance did have traces of natural acting, while Xi Jing..."

Suddenly, her brow furrowed, feeling like she had forgotten something.

"Xi Jing, she... she..."

Both Yu Yanyu and Ren Xiao listened intently, with Yu Yanyu urgently saying, "What about Xi Jing?"

He Jinxia had a flash of realization, a bad feeling—she had forgotten something!

In her room, Xi Jing was on the phone with someone from OP Entertainment, her expression hesitant.

The person on the other end said, "After you join our company, you won’t need to worry about anything else, just focus on acting. You also know about Xi Yunya; we plan to build you up as another Xi Yunya."

"I know you’re worried about the cinematic resources in the company. Let me disclose something to you, the company plans to expand into the film industry this year, increasing the output of cinematic resources and also planning to invest.

You joining this year means the company intends to focus on promoting you, with many cinematic resources tilted in your favor, so don’t worry."
