Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 31: Writing a Biography

"This is the first time I see you wearing modern clothes. You look so handsome." Li Yitong smiled softly and muttered while eating lamb skewers.

"Thank you." Xu Yien chuckled and kept talking. No one could stop him from eating, unless it was his parents.

Li Yitong asked again: "How long have you been filming?"

"I finished filming today and just returned to Yanjing."

“You guys took a really long time to shoot.”

"I've finished filming, but Yang Zi, Zhang Wanyi and the others haven't finished yet. They'll probably finish next month."

"I have a feeling that this big project will be a big success. Congratulations to you in advance~" Li Yitong said cutely with a bow.

In fact, she is five years older than Xu Yien, but she looks much younger.

"You can explode too." Xu Yien picked up the water glass which contained Sprite. Li Yitong understood, and they drank a glass with Sprite instead of wine.

"Oh, by the way, how are things going with your girlfriend?"

"Reba? Just a friend."

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

Xu Yien said: "Really? There's no need to lie to you. We've known each other for many years. She saw that I was too obscure, so she helped me stir up some publicity."

"Why would a good friend help stir up trouble?"

"Look at Yang Zi, isn't he just hyping up his good friend Deng Lun? I heard from her that she's going to hype up Li Xian next." Xu Yien gave an example and didn't say anything else.

"Is there still such a thing?"

Xu Yien chuckled: "Of course."

"Oh~" After learning that Xu Yien didn't have a girlfriend, Li Yitong no longer needed to be so restrained. She was afraid that Xu Yien would be judged by his girlfriend if he was photographed. Now there was no need to worry too much. Anyway, she and Xu Yien, two unknown people, would not be photographed.

"You treat me to a meal, I treat you to milk tea, follow me!"

The two of them found a Modu young woman and ordered a cup of milk tea each. Li Yitong ordered mango sago and Xu Yien ordered a cup of blood glutinous rice milk tea.

Because the two of them were so obscure, the clerk didn't recognize them at all. He just thought they were a perfect match.

Or perhaps some actors overestimate their influence.

In fact, there are many people who don’t watch movies and TV shows or pay attention to the entertainment industry. I don’t know why they are so arrogant.

"I'll take you home."

"Okay."

I came to the parking lot and opened the car door for her.

The two of them got in the car. She looked at Xu Yien handing her the phone, a little confused, "Why are you giving me the phone?"

"Turn on the navigation, otherwise how would I know where you live?"

"That's it~"

She turned on the navigation on Xu Yien's phone and handed it to him. Xu Yien put the phone on the holder. It was definitely not as convenient to give instructions with words as with navigation, not to mention that Xu Yien couldn't tell left from right. Every time he told left from right, he had to gesture with his hands, "up north, down south, left west, right east."

"Your car is quite nice, what kind of car is it?"

"GTR."

It can be said that it is a broken car in the eyes of girls and a god of war in the eyes of boys.

“Is this a sports car?”

"Yeah, a sports car."

"I don't think it looks like this, it looks like an ordinary car. Why would you want to buy this car?"

Xu Yien, holding the steering wheel, explained, "It's a sports car, but not too flashy. Have you seen Initial D, starring Jay Chou? There's a character in it who wants to buy a GTR. I looked it up and thought it looked pretty cool, so I bought it."

"Hahaha, is that so?"

"Go to TikTok and search, I want to buy a GTR, there are a lot of funny dubbing videos."

The two chatted like this, and Li Yitong even connected Bluetooth to play some popular online songs. Well, I guess some people will judge the female celebrity for having no taste for listening to popular online songs, but listening to music is all about the atmosphere, and Xu Yien was happy listening to it.

After sending her home, she turned around and waved. Xu Yien nodded slightly: "See you next time."

"Okay! See you next time."

I have been writing a biography of Li Lianhua at home recently, in preparation for the start of filming early next year. It took me more than eight months to shoot the film this year.

There are no other activities at all, no business promotions, no endorsements, and not even variety shows.

It’s almost New Year’s Eve, but I haven’t even received an invitation to a New Year’s Eve party.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it turned out to be Bai Yu. Xu Yien's eyes lit up and he was a little surprised. As soon as Bai Yu came in, he gave Xu Yien a big hug.

"How many days have you been back in Yanjing?"

"About two or three days, we just finished filming."

"Your crew filmed the drama "Long Sang Si" for a really long time. Five months is too long. Hard work will definitely pay off."

"That's not necessarily true. Martial Universe filmed for about half a year, and didn't Teacher VV still act terrible?"

"VV? Yang-like?" Bai Yu was confused for a moment;

Xu Yien smiled, "Yes."

"I've worked with him before in Love O2O. It's hard to judge his acting skills, but why do you call him VV?"

"Netizens say his legs are short, so doesn't YY become VV?"

"Don't tell anyone about it, just talk about it in private." Bai Yu reminded him. Xu Yien certainly understood: "I know."

Bai Yu is obviously very young, but the girls he attracts are those who like uncle-type guys. He looks more handsome with a beard than without, which makes Song Zuer stunned. There are all kinds of scandals about him, but not yet, because "Children of Qiao's Family" has not been filmed yet.

I followed Xu Yien to the bedroom and turned on the TV for him to watch.

He wasn't interested at all, but instead walked over to Xu Yien's desk and asked, "Are you writing a biography?"

"Yes, a new play."

"The Lotus Building that's been circulating online is real."

"Of course, you didn't ask me on WeChat."

"I'm busy too. I've been filming non-stop."

"It's good to have movies to shoot. If there are no movies to shoot, I will be unemployed."

"Alas, if I lose my job, I will have to go home and inherit billions of dollars. That's so painful." Bai Yu said in a somewhat Versailles way.

"It just makes your family look rich, get out!" Xu Yien scolded with a smile.

So, he just sat there and watched Seo Yi-eun write a character biography about Lee Yeon-ha/Lee Sang-yi.

I thought to myself that Teacher Xu’s understanding of the role was still so thorough and so serious.

Come to think of it, this is also the reason why the two of them can become good friends.

Xu Yien's mind was completely focused on the role.

Those who reach the pinnacle inevitably desire detachment. The world is made up of human relationships. Even with this detachment, Li Lianhua is ultimately drawn to the bonds of family and new friendships, exhausting her remaining energy. Through life and death, she remains alone.

What you get will always have to be returned, so why bother getting it? What you give will always be consumed, so how much can Li Lianhua consume?

Throughout the entire script, Li Lianhua dragged his weak body with the countdown, thinking hard about when he would take action. However, the result of all his efforts was only to discover the truth he did not want to see and rescue those who we thought were inferior to him.

This is a very sad thing. But at what point can Li Lianhua escape?
Alienation and perfunctoriness are just a form of protection.

This is also how Xu Yien positioned and understood Li Lianhua—"soft and indifferent."

Optimism and contentment are the sources of "gentleness", knowing one's fate and not loving the world are the sources of "indifference", and not seeking for oneself is the source of "perfunctoriness".
