Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Ling Xiaosu came to the company today to look at the script. Sister Hua said that a script came to us, specifically inviting him to star in it.

Ling Xiaosu has no shortage of acting opportunities; he usually plays the male lead in all his roles, and he generally doesn't watch shows where he's offered a supporting role.

So he came here, wanting to see what the script was and how he could find Sister Hua to talk to.

Ling Xiaosu recently finished filming "All the Way to Lhasa" and is preparing to join the cast of the TV series "Days with an Air Hostess" with his wife Yao Chen.

After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he and Yao Chen got married. This year marks the first time they co-starred in a TV series, and the promotional materials use the phrase "celebrity couple."

Therefore, Ling Xiaosu takes this TV series quite seriously, after all, it's his first time with his wife.

Ling Xiaosu looked at the young man who walked into the company; he didn't recognize him and seemed like a complete stranger.

But, being as handsome as him makes him quite pleasing to the eye.

Most actors possess a certain charisma, but Ling Xiaosu didn't sense it in this person.

Could he be a newcomer?

It's been a long time since Sister Hua signed any new artists; the company is full of veterans.

The man stepped forward, raised his right hand, and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Ling, I am Xu Ying, from the class of 06 at Beijing Film Academy."

"Oh, it's my junior brother. Hello, hello." Ling Xiaosu shook hands. "Tsk, the class of 2006 is seven years younger than me, I suddenly feel old."

Ling Xiaosu was in the class of '99, which is indeed much older than Xu Ying, but he is only 29 years old this year.

"Senior brother is in his prime."

Xu Ying looked at Ling Xiaosu in front of him. He was wearing a pinstripe shirt and gray trousers, simple and appropriate, and his handsomeness was on full display.

"Senior, you look so cool in that outfit! Teach me how to dress, I need to learn," Xu Ying praised.

Ling Xiaosu laughed heartily, "You're quite the talker, kid. You're here to see Sister Hua, aren't you?"

"Let's go, I'll take you there. Sister Hua hasn't arrived yet." With that, he acted like they were old friends, put his arm around Xu Ying, and walked inside.

[Ding! Host has come into contact with actor Ling Xiaosu and has been granted one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to participate?]

Hearing the familiar notification tone, Xu Ying was a little excited, thinking that the system had malfunctioned.

It's been a long time since I triggered it, so let's wait a bit before trying again.

"Junior brother, don't be nervous." Ling Xiaosu thought Xu Ying was nervous because he was going to face Wang Jinhua, so he comforted him.

"Okay, senior."

Xu Ying suppressed his emotions and followed Ling Xiaosu, thinking they were going to the reception room, but they ended up going to the smoking room.

Before he even sat down, Ling Xiaosu pulled out a cigarette case, smiled, and took out a cigarette. "Have one, to relax."

Xu Ying hurriedly opened his backpack, took out a large Zhongjiu (a type of Chinese liquor), and placed it in Ling Xiaosu's hand.

"Senior, have a smoke."

Seeing Xu Ying pull a pack of cigarettes out of his backpack, Ling Xiaosu stared wide-eyed in shock. How amazing!

"Oh, oh dear, no, no, how can I take your things on our first meeting?" Ling Xiaosu waved his hands repeatedly in refusal. "Junior brother, do you always hand out cigarettes by the pack?"

"What a coincidence! Please accept this as our first meeting, senior brother."

"Okay, okay, don't do it again next time. I'm quitting smoking." Ling Xiaosu scolded Xu Ying for being insensible while placing the cigarette next to his thigh.

The more he looked at Xu Ying, the more pleasing he found him to the eye, mainly because he was to his liking.

"Sizzle..."

Flames rose.

"call......"

"That feels good."

Looking at Ling Xiaosu's blissful expression, Xu Ying wondered how long it had been since he had smoked.

Seeing Xu Ying's expression, Ling Xiaosu smiled and explained, "It's because your sister-in-law is very strict. She wants me to quit smoking, but I just can't seem to quit."

"My senior brother is very considerate and treats his wife very well."

"Of course, your sister-in-law and I are filming a TV series. Remember to support us when it airs."

Even at this time, he didn't forget to promote his TV series with Yao Chen, which shows that Ling Xiaosu really likes Yao Chen.

Otherwise, given his status, he wouldn't have taken on a supporting role in "My Own Swordsman".

Ling Xiaosu comes from an artistic family that worked at Xi'an Film Studio. His grandfather, Ling Zifeng, was a third-generation Chinese director who directed classics such as "Rickshaw Boy" and "Border Town".

Grandma Shi Lianxing was equally remarkable. She was the first international film queen of New China, the lead actress in "Zhao Yiman", and one of the three great red stars.

The father was a photographer, and the mother was a director and producer at Xi'an Film Studio.

In fact, Xu Ying had always been puzzled by one question: why did Ling Xiaosu and Yao Chen end up together?

They disliked each other from the moment they enrolled in school.

Yao Chen felt that Ling Xiaosu was a spoiled young master from a third-generation star family, and was extremely arrogant.

Ling Xiaosu thought Yao Chen had a big mouth, spoke like a machine gun, wasn't ladylike enough, and often argued and bickered.

As a result, the teacher paired them up as a couple, and over time, they fell in love.

Once, Yao Chen jokingly made a bet: "If you win the championship, I'll be your girlfriend and marry you."

Ling Xiaosu won the championship with all his might, and his joke came true, officially establishing a romantic relationship between the two.

After they got married, it was Ling Xiaosu who recommended Yao Chen to audition for "My Own Swordsman".

However, when Xu Ying thought about Yao Chen's betrayal later, he felt sorry for Ling Xiaosu.

"Let me check the time. You're about to be a senior in college, so you should just be debuting now, right?" Ling Xiaosu exhaled a puff of smoke.

Xu Ying nodded and said, "I've only been in the industry for a year and I've already filmed two TV series."

"Yes, they're all supporting roles. I recently won the Most Promising Achievement Award at the Magnolia Awards."

"That's great, it shows that the public has a pretty high level of approval for you." Ling Xiaosu's eyes showed surprise; he had initially been somewhat dismissive. "You're here to sign a contract, right?"

"Yes, Qiang recommended him." Xu Ying briefly explained Zhang Guoqiang's recommendation and also mentioned the contract issue with Rongxin before.

Upon hearing about the 15-year contract, Ling Xiaosu couldn't help but laugh.

Although many companies in the industry exploit newcomers, this was the first time he had heard someone say it, and he found it quite interesting.

"I'm not sure about this in our company either, but it's definitely not that exaggerated, so don't worry."

Perhaps fearing Xu Ying's worry, Ling Xiaosu added, "Besides, Sister Hua is a really nice person. Sometimes she's like a nanny, and sometimes she's like a parent."

"Senior, can I get your phone number? I'd like to learn some fashion tips."

"That's for sure."

After finishing their cigarettes and exchanging contact information, the two went directly to Wang Jinhua's office to wait.

"Don't be nervous. Once you're in the company, you're family. After all, you're still my junior brother. Your senior brother will protect you."

"Thank you, senior."

"I'll recommend some better resources to you later."

Ling Xiaosu said this not because of Xu Ying's pack of cigarettes. Well, he admitted that it did have some effect, but it only accounted for a very small part.

The main reason is that he feels very comfortable with Xu Ying. She is genuine and unpretentious, which makes him feel like he used to make friends when he was in college.

Moreover, this kid didn't make any requests or ask any questions. In fact, he proactively told us a lot of questions about the company.

This clearly shows that he considers Ling Xiaosu a friend. Where can you find such a good junior brother?

"Great opportunity, senior, you should keep it for yourself. I have an audition for the male lead later."

"Hey, what's wrong with one more? Who would complain about having too many? Senior brother has plenty more, don't worry."

"Then, thank you in advance, senior brother."

Xu Ying thought to himself, "As expected of an artistic family, Ling Xiaosu really doesn't lack any resources."

Ling Xiaosu himself is also very capable. If it weren't for Yao Chen's delay, he wouldn't have remained lukewarm in popularity for so long.

The two were having a lively conversation when a woman walked into the office.

Xu Ying looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang Jinhua.
