Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

After saving the phone number, Yao Di returned the phone to Xie Jin.

She subtly touched his palm, her eyes sparkling.

Xie felt a chill run down his spine and took a step back, not daring to provoke her.

I still want to be famous for many years to come, so let Brother Wen enjoy this good thing.

When Yao Di saw Xie Jin step back slightly, she thought Xie Jin was shy.

"Junior brother, let's go to KTV to sing karaoke later. You're a professional, can you teach your senior sister?" Her voice was practically dripping with honey, and she was practically waving the link invitation on her face.

Xie Jin was thinking about how to refuse when a resentful voice came from behind her.

"Thanks, you dog! You stepped on my foot."

Xie Jin turned her head and saw a black footprint on Miss Liu's white shoes.

The little gas cylinder looked up at Xie Jin from behind, its eyes filled with hostility.

Xie Jin subconsciously swallowed, feeling a little guilty.

...

Wait a minute! Why would I feel guilty?

  

She scratched me, but I didn't scratch her...

My shoes are straight, so I'm not afraid of my feet being crooked! My body is askew, so I'm not afraid of my shadow being straight!

Liu Yifei's appearance caused all the girls present to instinctively hold their breath.

The excitement from before was gone, and she even hesitantly brushed her hair back.

Sixteen-year-old Sister Liu is terrifying.

Comparing people is a recipe for disaster; comparing goods is a recipe for discarding them.

They are both from the acting department of the film academy.

She started school at fourteen, and before she was fifteen, she starred as the second female lead in "The Story of a Noble Family," which aired with a viewership rating of 7.68%!

They became an instant sensation upon their debut!

It can be said that she went from a newcomer to a rising star with national attention.

Many media outlets use words that sound frightening, such as "something that exists only in heaven and not on earth," and so on.

Liu Yifei glanced at Xie Jin, and before he could speak, she turned to him with a polite smile: "Senior sisters, Xie Jin has something to do later and can't go with you. I'm sorry."

Yao Di's smile was particularly stiff: "Okay, okay, you guys are busy, let's get together sometime."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "Senior sister, let's go to the teacher first."

..........

..........

The young woman, Liu, looked up at Xie Jin, her eyes narrowing slightly, a strange smile playing on her lips. "Tsk tsk tsk, are you upset that I interrupted your good time? Several senior sisters invited you to go singing... What a pity."

At this moment, Xie Jin's self-preservation instinct kicked in completely.

"You saved me from dire straits! I was still thinking of how to make up a lie. What a pity, Daddy!"

Upon hearing Xie Jin's words, Liu Yifei happily clenched her small hands behind her back, but her face remained expressionless.

"Hmph, good to know, don't be so naive. You're like Tang Sanzang's flesh now, watch out for those scheming White Bone Demons who might eat you up."

"Yes, yes, yes, apart from the creditors who are good to me, none of the others are easy to deal with."

Miss Liu smiled slightly: "That's more like it, but I didn't lie to them, our teacher really did have something to discuss with us."

"Oh, what happened? How come I didn't know?"

"Li Xiaowan is here."

Xie Jin racked her brains for a long time but still couldn't remember "who."

"Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong from Rongxinda Zhouxun Chen Kun's company came to select people."

"With 'The Orange is Red' being so popular last year, what do you think Jia Nailiang and the others are doing here today? They're all scrambling to get into Rongxinda."

······

Located in the north, the Beijing Film Academy has long been considered a private territory for Beijing-based talent agencies, a place where Rongxinda and several other companies select talent.

Generally, the selection process takes place in the second semester of freshman year.

On the one hand, it's to see how the student is doing at school. Agents know what's going on if a student has low emotional intelligence and a bad reputation after six months at school.

On the other hand, it's generally possible to tell whether a student can make a living in this field within six months.

As for second- and third-year students, they will also be screened to see if any have slipped through the net, but the main focus is still on freshmen.

Outside the practice room, many students had already lined up. Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Ai Lun stood next to Teacher Wang Jinsong and waved to Xie Jin.

"Teacher, has anyone been chosen yet?"

Wang Jinsong curled his lip: "A long chat might last five minutes, a short one two or three minutes. I doubt it."

Zhu Yawen came out not long after she went in, scratching the back of her head with a puzzled look: "Teacher, I didn't understand. She said I'm pretty good, but their company can't train me."

"Of course you can't be trained. You're more suited to playing tough-guy military roles, while they're into romantic dramas and artsy types. It's not suitable for you."

Old Zhu curled his lip: "Even if you asked me to go, I wouldn't go. I can't play a pretty boy in love stories."

Rongxinda was indeed not the right place for this guy. It seems that he was supposed to join Huayi in 08 and waste a few years before joining Yixin in 14 and then he really started to become popular.

Luo Jin probably went to the coal mine art troupe after graduation, and later set up his own studio to work on his own.

As for Da Sha Chun, he only joined Happy Twist in 06.

It seems that Rongxinda didn't get many people in the Class of 02.

While they were chatting, the students quickly finished their interviews. Wang Jinsong patted Xie Jin on the shoulder and said, "You should go too."

Xie Jin was just there to watch the fun and had no intention of going. "I'm not going. I have no plans to sign with a company."

"Then you should go sit down for a while; people keep asking if you're there."

Seeing that her mentor had spoken, Xie Jin nodded and went inside.

"Xie Jin, Class of 2002, Acting Major, Beijing Film Academy. Height 185cm, Weight 75kg, Age 21"

Li Xiaowan smiled: "Director Xie, you don't need to be so formal. You're different from others."

As she spoke, Li Xiaowan gestured for Xie Jin to sit opposite her.

Before coming, Li Xiaowan had done her homework and concluded that Xie Jin was definitely the most promising girl in this year's class, besides Liu.

To be precise, starting with this month's ringtone service, his popularity has firmly established itself as a third-tier celebrity, even though he hasn't been actively promoting himself.

As for his Berlin fame and his reputation as an independent songwriter, these were things that Li Xiaowan coveted even more...

In Li Xiaowan's eyes, he was even more promising than Liu Yifei, because Xie Jin had no background.

Logically, someone like that wouldn't be without a company, but Xie Jin is an exception; he doesn't have a company and relies entirely on his own efforts.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaowan decided to cut to the chase without beating around the bush. After all, he was just a kid in his early twenties, and Li Xiaowan was confident she could handle him.

"Xie Jin, I've actually been following you for a long time. I came here today to talk to you."

Xie Jin remained calm, a polite smile still playing on her lips. "Sister Xiaowan, please speak freely."

Li Xiaowan choked on her words. If it were any other student, they would have been so excited that they forgot themselves if they knew that a top agent in the industry like her had come all the way to select someone.

But why is this guy so calm, as if he was prepared? Did Wang Jinghua contact him?

"Xiao Jin, you now have fame, popularity, and acting skills, but you haven't had a company to manage your career. Without someone to help you with business operations, you're actually constantly losing money."

Xie Jin nodded: "Indeed, but I'm not particularly obsessed with money."

Li Xiaowan's eyes twitched slightly, and she changed the subject, simply stating it outright.

"It's good that you don't have any obsessions, but it's exhausting for Xiao Jin to work alone in this industry. Have you considered signing with a company?"

To be honest, even when considering the company, Xie Jin never considered Rongxinda.

Rongxinda is indeed formidable, having cultivated numerous artists.

However, Rongxinda's contract signing period is much longer than that of other companies.

Chen Kun signed a ten-year contract, Huang Jue a ten-year contract, and Yang Yang wished he could lock her up in a basement and imprison her for fifteen years straight.

Moreover, Rongxinda can basically have a falling out with each of its own artists on an equal footing.

Basically, if they don't go to court and pay compensation, they definitely can't leave.

Xie Jin did not answer her question, but instead posed a question to Li Xiaowan.

"Sister Xiaowan, what can you give me?"
