The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 37 Prove yourself
“What’s the difference between watching it now and watching it on video before?”

Xu Xing finished typing the last line, turned off the laptop, and asked Nazha, who had been lying on the desk next to her and watching for a long time.

"The difference is that you look more handsome, brother! I just looked it up and there's a phrase called 'red sleeves adding fragrance', isn't that it, brother~"

Naza asked seriously.

She was three years older than Xu Xing, but she had been calling him brother non-stop since they kissed and parted ways last night.

This made Xu Xing feel a little amused and helpless.

As if to keep up with the pace of the "genius" Xu Xing, Nazha always talks about awkward things and always looks serious and studious.

But when Xu Xing asked her to practice her lines and acting skills, she just symbolically pretended to do so, then went to play games, and then came to see Xu Xing.

Her black hair fell on her thin shoulders like a waterfall, and her delicate facial features made her look like a fairy, but she just lay there quietly and did nothing, just looking at herself with infatuation in her eyes.

It really made Xu Xing feel a sense of accomplishment.

Xu Xing chuckled and pushed the long hair away from her face, then stroked her cheek with the back of her fingers and lifted her chin.

However, Xu Xing did not kiss her in response to her expectant gaze. Instead, he just rubbed her slightly open red lips with his thumb and then let go.

Based on today's experience, she will become extremely crazy once she is kissed.

It’s nice to be quiet like this now.

"I'm going to run on the treadmill for a while."

Xu Xing plans to continue with her nightly habit.

I didn’t insist during those two times with Chen Qiaoen, and I didn’t insist last night either.

But after experiencing it last night, Nazha’s Zha was really the worst among the weakest.

If she doesn't run first to burn off some energy, she will start crying and begging for mercy again soon.

Let her beg for mercy for a shorter time today.

While running, Naza followed again.

"I wanted to run, but I didn't have the strength. Brother, you are so awesome."

Nazha leaned against the wall next to her and chatted with Xu Xing.

Still a very serious expression.

Xu Xing began to suspect that she was speaking like that on purpose.

Run.

"I will definitely exercise every day like my brother!"

"Ah."

Xu Xing affirmed her statement.

Run.

"Why is my brother so handsome even when he's running?"

Xu Xing smiled.

Run.

"Brother has a really great body. He doesn't even breathe hard when running~"

Xu Xing smiled again.

Run.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this today. My brother was really nice to me last night and was very considerate of me. Um, brother, are you done running?"

"I guess so," Xu Xing said unhappily, "If you don't have the strength, don't stand."

"Uh-huh..."

Nazha's understanding is outstanding.

The height was adjusted immediately.

"It's time to change the name."

Xu Xing is feeling a little irritable now.

Thinking about the dinner just now still makes me feel sad.

"Oh--"

Nazar rolled her eyes.

She wasn't even given time to shout out.

…On the 3rd, Xu Xing went to the second rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

Several young handsome guys are still there and no one has been eliminated.

When Xu Xing saw Lu Han again, his expression was a little awkward, but he still smiled and nodded from a distance.

I also saw Chris Wu. He seemed to know where Xu Xing was, and he didn't even look in her direction. It was just like his fans said, his eyes were only looking at the starry sky.

However, more and more people asked Xu Xing to take photos with them.

The night of the 4st.

Yu Murong finally returned to the capital, and finally took Xu Xing to have a meal with Ye Ning of Wan Da.

My brother-in-law still didn't show up.

While chatting, Mr. Ye asked Yu Murong to say hello to his brother-in-law.

Then the topic turned to Xu Xing.

"I heard that Xiao Xing, you want to act in Detective Chinatown?"

Mr. Ye took the initiative to mention this matter.

Xu Xing was a little surprised, but still chose to refuse.

"I wanted to act in the role before, but Director Chen seemed to have someone in mind. The day before yesterday, my agent took me to have a meal with producer Chen Xi. In the end, I understood Director Chen's difficulties and now I have no intention of acting. Anyway, I have a play to act now."

Everything has already been discussed with Chen Xi, and he has been studying the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" for two days, so he might as well keep this favor.

Xu Xing is not a complete newcomer anymore, so she doesn't really have to play the role.

Now Xu Xing wants to see what script Director Chen will come up with in the future to shoot "Detective Chinatown 2", which is crucial to the Chinatown Detective universe, or just go straight to "Detective Chinatown 3" to make a big one?
Ye Ning looked at Yu Murong even more surprised.

Yu Murong shook his head slightly.

……

"I heard from Liu Cheng that you want to go to South Korea to act in a zombie movie?"

Yu Murong asked when they were going back.

She had been learning about Xu Xing from Liu Cheng over the past few months and knew how highly Xu Xing positioned himself.

Although he has just debuted, his ambition is no less than that of Lu Han and Chris Wu.

But because he failed to get "Detective Chinatown", he actually had the idea of going to South Korea to make a movie.

She quickly made time to meet with Mr. Ye from Wanta Cinemas, hoping to help Xu Xing again.

But Xu Xing refused.

"Well, I haven't thought about it. I have to shoot movies continuously now, so I need to find some time to rest and adjust my state. It's good to take a break.

"That was Park Yongchang, the director I met on the plane back to China. He finally found a job. It just so happened that he was in NEWS Films, the company that you, Rong Jie, had invested in for Huace before, so I learned more about him.

"I just felt that the movie would be a hit after listening to Director Park's talk. After all, there had never been a zombie movie with an East Asian setting before, so I chatted with Liu Chengduo for a few more words."

Xu Xing smiled.

"...'The Beginning' started filming on the 6th, and was completed in April?"

Yu Murong asked again.

"Well, it's mainly because the female lead Chen Dulin's movie, The Left Ear, will be released at the end of April, and she will have to do promotions at that time. She also had classes to attend in her third year of college. So the filming was scheduled to start closer to Girls' Generation."

Xu Xing's explanation seemed flawless.

"..."

Yu Murong was silent.

"After the filming of 'The Beginning' is finished, I will probably go shoot another drama in a while. Liu Cheng is discussing this matter. Resources are in great demand, but Sister Rong, you talked to Hua Ce before, so there is basically no problem."

Xu Xing continued to talk about the subsequent arrangements.

Yu Murong finally laughed.

"Then act well."

In fact, we should be happy about Xu Xing's growth.

Instead of being like before, when he suddenly felt that Xu Xing was too distant from him, Xu Xing's rejection of Ye Ning today was obviously out of consideration for him.

In fact, from the moment he took the initiative to terminate the contract with SM, he wanted to prove himself. He knew what he needed and would fight for it himself. If he failed, he would immediately set a new goal. He never got discouraged and kept moving forward.

"Well, I will."

Xu Xing smiled and nodded.
