Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 355 Meeting Lai Shuiqing

The person on the other end of the phone was Yang Xiaomi.

Chen Xi looked around while holding the phone: "I didn't see you either."

"Where are you?"

"I'm..." Chen Xi looked around, not knowing how to describe it, so he simply asked the person next to him: "Classmate, where are we? My friend can't find me~"

"Dressing room number two."

"Thank you."

"Mi Mi, I'm in dressing room number two."

"Okay, don't run around, stay where you are and wait for me to come find you."

Yang Xiaomi hung up the phone and appeared at the end of the corridor soon after.

"Xixi~"

"Honey~"

It seemed like a scene from a melodramatic romance drama was playing out backstage.

Yang Xiaomi ran over like a happy little bee and hugged Chen Xi.

"It's so nice of you to come and see me perform."

The friendship between Chinese women is always strange. You may think it’s nothing when they hug each other, but if it’s European or American women, well, there’s definitely a problem.

"Is this your performance costume?" Chen Xi let go of Yang Xiaomi, took a few steps back and looked at her.

"Yes, I played a Dunhuang princess." She was the most famous student in this class and naturally took the center position.

In fact, it’s the same if it’s someone else.

If Liu Tianxian performs a show, she will definitely be the center.

If you assign a little palace maid to someone, believe it or not, you will be scolded and become a hot topic on the Internet the next day.

The two were chatting when a figure appeared at the end of the passage. It was Yuan Shanshan.

She had been following Yang Xiaomi, and when she saw Yang Xiaomi rushing over here, she secretly followed her from behind.

Sure enough, I met the third in command of Star Entertainment here.

She had done her homework and of course knew who Chen Xi was, but she didn't expect that Yang Xiaomi had such a good relationship with him.

Judging from the way they were talking and laughing, it was obvious that they were very close.

Just as she was debating whether to pretend to meet her by chance and strike up a conversation, Yang Xiaomi noticed her out of the corner of her eye.

"Xixi, let's go over there and talk. There are too many people here~"

Chen Xi had sharp eyes. He immediately noticed that there was something fishy going on between Yang Xiaomi and the girl at the end of the passage. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is that?"

"A slutty bitch."

Yang Xiaomi pulled Chen Xi away, and Yuan Shanshan heard the comment of "slutty bitch". Her face immediately turned dark and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

After all, he is a student. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he would not be able to get close to him.

Yang Xiaomi led Chen Xi out of the waiting area and met many students along the way.

"I heard that Director Zhang from Xingchen Entertainment is here too..."

"Really? Are they going to sign actors too? It would be great if they could pick me..."

"What the hell are you dreaming about? Xingchen Entertainment never signs actors. They only sign directors and screenwriters. You don't even know this, and you're still daydreaming here..."

"You already said it was a daydream, can't I just think about it?"

At this time, the conversation of several girls passing by floated into their ears.

Yang Xiaomi was puzzled: "Director Zhang is here too? Didn't you say he wouldn't come?"

Chen Xi was even more confused; "He told me this, let's go outside and take a look. If he really comes, I can take you over to show you around~"

Yang Xiaomi was of course willing. The two came to the side of the stage, looked out through the gap in the curtain, and soon saw Zhang Chen with Huang Xiaoming.

"He really is here. Let's go over there..."

When Chen Xi saw Zhang Chen, he waved his hand generously and led Yang Xiaomi towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was chatting with Lai Shuiqing, when Chen Xi suddenly appeared from the side: "Boss~"

Zhang Chen was slightly startled, but when he saw Yang Xiaomi behind Chen Xi, he immediately understood and introduced the two people at the same time: "Director Lai, this is Chen Xi, the producer of my company."

Then he said to Chen Xi, "This is Director Lai Shuiqing. He directed both 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' and 'New Dragon Inn'. Please write down Director Lai's phone number. We may be able to work together in the future."

After hearing Zhang Chen's reminder, Chen Xi immediately entered work mode and exchanged numbers with Lai Shuiqing.

"Director Lai, are you here to select actors this time?"

Lai Shuiqing nodded: "Yes, I need a young second female lead for my new play next year. It just so happens that Beijing Film Academy is holding a New Year's Eve party, so I came here to try my luck..."

When Chen Xi heard Lai Shuiqing say this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Mi Mi, come, come to the front..."

Zhang Chen knew this would happen. Chen Xi was good in every way except that she had a motherly feeling towards Yang Xiaomi. She would never forget to ask about her best friend at any opportunity.

Sure enough, Chen Xi said, "Director Lai, her name is Yang Xiaomi. She just finished acting in The Return of the Condor Heroes directed by Zhang Jizhong. She played the role of Guo Xiang..."

Sure enough, when Lai Shuiqing heard "The Return of the Condor Heroes", his eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know Yang Xiaomi, he knew Zhang Da Huzi.

He himself is a Jin Yong drama director, so of course he knows that the most popular Jin Yong drama director in China is Zhang Da Hu Zi, and every drama he produces is a big hit.

The actors that he chooses must be good.

Lai Shuiqing was about to ask, but was interrupted by Chen Xi's next sentence.

"Director Lai can consider Yang Xiaomi if there is a chance, but I'm afraid it won't work for next year's film."

A question mark appeared visibly on Lai Shuiqing's bald head.

"why?"

Chen Xi said apologetically, "Next year, Yang Xiaomi will play the third female lead in Director Zhang's big drama. She is also the female lead in another TV series produced by our company. So, at least before July, Xiaomi's schedule is full..."

Accidentally, Chen Xi even called out the nickname Mimi.

Lai Shuiqing didn't know if he heard it, but he became more interested: "It seems that Miss Yang is highly regarded by Director Zhang."

Zhang Chen could only smile. In fact, he really wanted to say that he was highly valued by President Chen Xi.

"It's okay. There will always be opportunities for cooperation. I have more than one play next year. Is Ms. Chen Miss Yang's agent?"

Look, you worry so much that people treat you as their agent.

Chen Xi waved his hands quickly: "I'm not, our company doesn't sign artists."

"Then Miss Yang, let's leave your phone number and you can come and try out the role later~"

Lai Shuiqing has already made up his mind that Yang Xiaomi is perfect for the job.

She is not well-known now, but once "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is broadcast, she will definitely gain a wave of popularity.

Add to that Zhang Chen's movies and TV series, signing a contract with her now will definitely be a sure win.

Yang Xiaomi is still confused now. Suddenly, a director's contact information appeared in her phone.

Sure enough, to get around in this circle, you still have to rely on connections.

A group of people were chatting here, and from a distance, Yuan Shanshan was watching with jealousy.

Why?
Why does she have the opportunity to meet those big directors and chat and laugh with them?

She also wants to have such an opportunity.

Yuan Shanshan's eyes swept across the venue, and then she saw her target - Ning Hao, who was greeting people in the distance.
