Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

"Old Xu, when did your acting become so good?"

Sun Haidong was shocked to see Xu Heng walking over after filming a scene.

It's already July, and the Beijing Film Academy is on holiday. Xu Heng's three roommates contacted him, wanting to visit the set of "The Story of a Noble Family" and broaden their horizons.

Xu Heng did not refuse. He told Li Dawei and then asked Sun Haidong and the other two to come over directly.

"Otherwise, why do you think I was qualified to audition for this role?"

Xu Heng snorted lightly, sounding quite arrogant.

"If you ask me, Old Xu is definitely hiding his true abilities. No wonder he never competes for any opportunities at school; he simply doesn't care about them!"

Wang Hongyu was equally shocked.

"What do you mean by 'hiding one's talents'? This is called being low-key, you know!"

Zhang Zichen had a fawning expression on his face.

He has made up his mind that he will definitely stick to Xu Heng's coattails from now on!

The four chatted for a while, and the three roommates were full of curiosity, so they asked a lot of questions, such as whether there were any kissing scenes.

Xu Heng answered all the questions he could.

As for kissing scenes, he and Dong Jie actually had two.

One of the kissing scenes that solidified their relationship is definitely a famous scene from the original version of the previous life.

However, he only touched on the subject briefly, and his answers were quite casual.

Then, seeing that it was almost time, he suddenly said, "You guys stay here and watch, or if you get tired, go rest over there. I have a scene to film later, so I need to go rehearse it first. I'll treat you to a good meal tonight!"

His three roommates naturally had no objections, and then they saw him walk towards a stunningly beautiful young woman.

The reason she's called a "little beauty" is simply because she's young; it's definitely not because she's not pretty enough!

"Have you guys noticed? Old Xu and that female lead seem to have a pretty ordinary relationship!"

Seeing Xu Heng and that pretty girl chatting and laughing not far away, Sun Haidong couldn't help but feel envious.

Not only do I envy Xu Heng for being able to know such a beautiful woman, but I also envy that Xu Heng's current development has left them far behind!

"That's right, Old Xu is clearly closer to our future junior sister. We haven't seen Old Xu interact with the female lead much before, and his tone is very casual when he mentions her. But our future junior sister is indeed a rare beauty!"

Wang Hongyu nodded, equally envious.

This was also the first time he had seen Xu Heng get along so well with a girl.

After officially joining the production team, some information about Liu Yifei was reported by the media, including the fact that she had been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.

But upon hearing this, Zhang Zichen suddenly reminded him, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Our future junior sister is not even 15 years old yet, and didn't Brother Xu just say that they were just rehearsing?"

To be honest, he had always only been interested in Xu Heng in the dorm.

In his eyes, his three roommates were all a bit too "young," but Xu Heng's appearance was outstanding enough.

In comparison, Sun Haidong and Wang Hongyu are not as well-off as Xu Heng, and they are not very good at speaking or dealing with people.

But that was before. Now he realizes that Xu Heng is truly a man of great hidden talent.

It's not that they don't know how to speak or behave, or that they don't understand social etiquette; it's that they understand it all too well!

So-called social skills are only useful when you have value!

If you have no value, being a master of social skills is useless!

After filming during the day, Xu Heng treated his three roommates to a meal at the hotel.

Upon learning that a classmate was coming to visit the set today, Li Dawei made a special exception and did not arrange any night scenes for him. He also arranged hotel rooms for his three roommates.

However, he will definitely pay for the meal himself; there's no need to take advantage of such a small thing.

Liu Yifei originally wanted to join in the fun, but Liu Xiaoli stopped her.

Now Liu Xiaoli is certain that Xu Heng doesn't have any bad intentions, but it's still better to be careful.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now mid-July. A month and a half had passed since the official start of filming for "The Story of a Noble Family".

Filming is nearly halfway complete and is expected to wrap up in another month and a half to two months.

Liu Yifei, a newcomer, has been with the crew for a full month and her performance is getting better and better.

Xu Heng was also a newcomer, but nowadays no one treats him like one, at least not on set.

Meanwhile, another highly anticipated drama is currently in preparation, namely Zhang Dahuzi's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The casting of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, in particular, has garnered the most attention.

Duan Yu is the protagonist of the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", but since the 97 version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the protagonist of the TV series has undoubtedly become Qiao Feng. However, this time, the actor for Qiao Feng was decided early on by Hu Jun.

Previously, Zhang Dahuzi wanted to invite Lu Yi to play Duan Yu, but Lu Yi refused outright because he only wanted to play Qiao Feng.

Last month, media outlets reported that two young actors, Zhang Chao and Qiao Zhenyu, auditioned for the role of Duan Yu, but ultimately failed to secure a contract.

It is said that the production team also contacted Lin Zhiying, but they were unable to reach an agreement because Lin Zhiying's salary demands were too high.

Earlier this month, media outlets reported that the production team had selected newcomer Ma Yuke to play Duan Yu.

Ma Yuke has even started gaining weight for the role and studying the script, but it is rumored that the investors think he is not famous enough and lacks elegance.

As for Wang Yuyan, the "Fairy Sister," the competition is even fiercer.

It is rumored that more than 50 actresses in the industry have auditioned for the role so far, including well-known actresses such as Xu Jinglei, Jiang Qinqin, Huang Yi, and Yan Danchen, but none of them have been deemed suitable by Zhang Dahuzi.

In an interview, director Zhou Xiaowen commented that Xu Jinglei lacked ethereal beauty, Huang Yi was not classically elegant enough, and Jiang Qinqin was too old.

On this day, Zhang Dahuzi went to Beijing to attend a film producer industry party, where he ran into You Jianming.

Yu Jianming, a producer and owner of Qiangshi Film Industry, is not as well-known or famous as him, but he is not an unknown figure either.

The two chatted for a few minutes at the party, and the conversation turned to Xu Heng.

"I'm currently looking for an actor to play Duan Yu. What do you think of the male lead for your drama?"

Zhang the Bearded asked.

He recalled that when Li Dawei, the director of "The Story of a Noble Family," was interviewed, he said that the male lead had an air of nobility.

He had also seen the male lead's photo. Although he was a newcomer, his appearance and temperament were indeed somewhat suitable for the role of Duan Yu.

Besides, we can decide whether it's suitable after the audition.

Inviting the male lead of "The Story of a Noble Family" to audition for the role of Duan Yu would also add some hype.

He had planned to have the production team contact the newcomer, but since he ran into the producer today, he didn't need to go through that trouble.
