Huayu: I was immediately ensnared by Jing Tian as soon as I entered the industry.

Chapter 90 Chai Biyun, Hit by a Surprise

"Xuanxuan, even though you're not in China, the internet is full of news about you."

Jing Tian's gentle voice came through the phone.

"Oh, that's what everyone says?" Wang Xuan asked curiously, adjusting his sleeping position.

"They're all praising you, saying you're valued by Hollywood companies."

Jing Tian said in a sweet and gentle tone, "Oh, right, I also heard that you often go to cocktail parties."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's hair stood on end, and he immediately retorted, "Slander, utterly slander! I only stayed at Harvey's banquet for a short while out of politeness before leaving."

"Oh, I believe you. Fake news online is disgusting."

Jing Tian couldn't help but laugh, though she tried to suppress it, but Wang Xuan still heard it.

He tentatively asked, "Tian Tian, ​​are you kidding me?"

"No, I just missed you."

The young lady has gone astray; after being exposed, she learned to act coquettishly.

But this tactic was quite effective against Wang Xuan.

Even so, we can't let her get away with it so easily: "If you do that again next time, you'll get a spanking."

"Hmph, if you hit me, I'll scream for help. Let's see if you dare," Jing Tian threatened guiltily.

And so, the two chatted and flirted for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until Wang Xuan was so sleepy that Jing Tian realized it was late at night in North America.

"I'm not talking anymore, you should go to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Jing Tian touched her face; it was burning hot. She hadn't expected to say such a thing.

Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed! Luckily, no one heard me.

"Tian Tian, ​​breakfast is here, come out and eat."

Zhao Shanshan's voice startled Jing Tian, ​​who was feeling guilty.

"Ah, here it comes."

In the living room, Jing Tian, ​​with her hair tied up and her bare skin looking fresh and smooth, ate her breakfast slowly and deliberately.

Beside her, Zhao Shanshan hesitated, seemingly wanting to speak but then stopping herself. The news about Wang Xuan online was receiving considerable attention in the film and television industry, including the "Starry Night" project...

Wanda.

From its inception, Wanda Cinemas has been dissatisfied with being a downstream player in the film industry and has gradually shifted towards investment and production.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Tian Tian, ​​have you spoken to Wang Xuan on the phone recently?"

"Yes, it just finished before you came." Jing Tian sipped her rice porridge without looking up.

Did he say what role he would assign you?

Jing Tian shook her head: "I haven't mentioned it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanshan's face immediately fell. Looking at the young lady who was still eating, she reminded her, "He can recommend actors, so why doesn't he recommend you? You should ask him next time."

Jing Tian wiped her mouth with a napkin and said firmly, "Since Brother Xuan didn't say, then it's not suitable for me."

As they were talking, Jing Tian's phone vibrated. It was a message from Wang Xuan, who had just hung up the phone.

After reading the message, Jing Tian handed it to Zhao Shanshan: "I knew it! The role wasn't suitable for me. She even explained it to me."

""

"He recommended Chai Biyun — ???"

On the other side, Wang Xuan, who was just about to go to sleep, suddenly remembered that one of the main characters in the movie "Humans" was of Chinese descent. Although he was one of the main actors, he died a tragic death later on. It was also a low-budget production, so it was not suitable for the young lady to play the role.

After much deliberation, unable to find a suitable candidate, they decided to let Chai Biyun have the opportunity.

She's always so loud and boisterous; let her go and get beaten up.

So he sent a text message to Jing Tian, ​​asking her to inform her best friend, so as to avoid the young lady from misunderstanding.

Wang Xuan tossed his phone aside and turned over to sleep.

Meanwhile, Chai Biyun, who had just finished her theory class, clashed with Shuangzi again.

As for the reason, it was that Chai Biyun told Shuangzi and Wang Xuan to keep their distance, since they had already made their relationship official, and she shouldn't interfere.

"Hehe, at least I'm doing it openly and honestly, unlike some people who secretly like someone and still have the leisure to speak well of their best friend."

Chai Biyun was still as incompetent as ever; a single sentence made her blush with anger, directly hitting her sore spot.

She retorted sharply, "You're talking nonsense! Wang Xuan and I are just buddies. When did I ever like him?"

..

"It's best if not."

Seeing Chai Biyun's exasperated expression, Shuangzi smiled confidently: "Even if you like her, it's fine. You have no chance anyway; she's not Xuan-ge's type."

"What type of person am I? Explain yourself clearly—"

The two were arguing when Chai Biyun's phone rang. It was Jing Tian calling.

She glanced at Shuangzi and then answered the call in front of her.

"Tian Tian, ​​did you need something?"

"That's right, Brother Xuan recommends you go to—"

"What?"

Chai Biyun's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard, and she asked for confirmation, "Is it really me—and who are you?"

After hanging up the phone, Chai Biyun looked at Shuangzi with an air of arrogance and said casually, "Oh dear, I'm so conflicted. My English isn't very good, and Wang Xuan specifically asked me to act in a movie in Hollywood. Should I go or not?"

"You? How is that possible?"

"Why not? You heard the phone call just now."

Chai Biyun waved her phone, saw Shuangzi's incredulous look, and then swung her long legs and floated away.

Shuangzi stood there, stunned. It was a waste of an opportunity to give Jingtian such a chance and let a tomboy play the role.

She picked up her phone, thought about it, and then put it down again.

She didn't want Wang Xuan to think she was a calculating woman.

"Teacher, I need to ask for leave—"

"What's the matter? Or is a film crew coming in?"

Looking at Chai Biyun, who had come to ask for leave, Wang Chunzi, a student with excellent grades in the class, asked her with concern.

"Here's the thing, Wang Xuan offered me a role; it's for Hollywood—"

...

In just one day, the news spread throughout the entire Beijing Film Academy.

Jing Tian's best friend, Chai Biyun, recommended her to act in a script co-produced by Wang Xuan and Lionsgate.

The news quickly spread to the entertainment industry, and many established female stars envied Chai Biyun, this unknown actress.

She got this opportunity simply because she and Jing Tian are best friends.

As expected, the importance of one's network cannot be overstated.

Hollywood has a complete and independent process, with each step interconnected.

After the project was established, each stage—investment, auditions, filming, post-production, and release—had a corresponding person in charge.

Directors are mostly tools, with a few top-tier directors being exceptions.

Hollywood casting is a very rigorous process, usually involving the production team hiring professional casting directors to find actors.

Harvey's casting director was Cassandra Kurukundis.

She was cast in films such as "There Will Be Blood," "The Master," "Human Nature Is Evil," and later "Mulan."

She will be the first casting director to win an Oscar once a casting director award is established.

...

The casting process was proceeding smoothly, and Wang Xuan was also busy scouting film companies in Hollywood that were on the verge of bankruptcy or facing financial difficulties.

The requirements are simple: preferably technical personnel, special effects equipment, and production experience.

Hollywood has no shortage of actors and film companies; countless film companies go bankrupt and open new ones every day.

However, Wang Xuan still hired professional donors to screen eligible companies, and he made his final decision only after inspecting them.
