HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

"Um?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Lang was taken aback.

The voice was sweet and clear, with the undertones of a young girl's voice. It was bright and clear, with a touch of soft, nasal tone.

Moreover, the voice sounded somewhat familiar to her.

Turning around and following the sound, he saw a pretty girl greeting him while pushing a suitcase and walking quickly toward him.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a light apricot-colored short down jacket and a beige turtleneck sweater underneath.

She wore a pair of slim-fit straight-leg jeans, which made her legs look long and straight, comparable to Tang Yan's.

Wearing white sneakers and sporting a high black ponytail, she looked extremely neat and tidy.

Her facial features were extremely delicate, but what was most captivating were her fox-like eyes, which were lively, cunning, and bright.

Xu Lang recognized her immediately; it was Yang Mi.

"Hi, Honey!"

Xu Lang greeted Yang Mi with a smile.

At this moment, Yang Mi had already pushed the small suitcase up to him, blinking her big eyes and looking at Xu Lang with a face full of surprise.

"Brother Lang, do you know me?"

"Of course I know such a pretty young lady."

As Xu Lang spoke, noticing that Liu Yifei and An Yixuan beside him were rolling their eyes at him, he quickly added,

"Aren't you the actress who played Guo Xiang in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'? I've seen your picture in the cast list."

"Haha, it's such an honor that Brother Lang still remembers me. I'll have to get closer to Brother Lang sometime. I'm so envious of the 'one person, two fairies' photo you took of the fairy sister."

At this point, she turned to look at Liu Yifei and said with a smile:

"Sister Yifei, you're so popular now, and Brother Lang deserves all the credit. You should thank him properly."

Hearing Yang Mi say this, Liu Yifei frowned.

She and Yang Mi had only met once or twice during meetings on set, and they didn't have much interaction, let alone become close.

Now that she's saying this, it's as if she's very familiar with Liu Yifei.

What upset Liu Yifei even more was what Yang Mi said.

"What does it mean that Xu Lang made a great contribution? What does it mean that I should thank him properly?"

Originally, Liu Yifei also felt that Xu Lang deserved great credit for the "one person, two immortals" incident, and she really wanted to thank him properly.

That's why she gave away her first kiss.

It's fine for her to think that way, but when others say it like that, and even point fingers and gossip about her, Liu Yifei feels very unhappy.

"Is it any of your business?"

Liu Yifei didn't want to argue with Yang Mi about this, so she just muttered a complaint in her heart, chuckled, and didn't reply. Instead, she turned her head and continued talking to An Yixuan.

However, as she spoke, she glanced at Xu Lang, seemingly to see if he would speak up for her.

Yang Mi, having been rebuffed, didn't care and continued to try to get closer to Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, observing the state of the two, couldn't help but think to himself:

"I heard gossip in my previous life that Yang Mi and Liu Yifei didn't get along and fought each other for twenty years."

At first, they pretended to be friendly, but later they stopped pretending altogether.

The relationship has dropped to below freezing point.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Xu Lang did not show any particular preference between the two.

In his previous life, he wasn't exactly a fan of either of them.

Whether he's looking at Liu Yifei or Yang Mi, Xu Lang is always looking at it from a man's, or rather, a pervert's, perspective.

Each has its own beauty.

As for their relationship, he neither cared nor paid attention.

Up to now?

It seems things can't be like they were in the previous life.

After all, he had never even seen either of them in person in his previous life.

In this life, he has already gotten Liu Yifei's first kiss and is looking for opportunities to take things further.

but. . .

Xu Lang looked at Yang Mi, who was smiling at him, and couldn't help but shout in his heart:

"Fish, I desire; bear's paw, I also desire!"

Must one of the two be chosen?

Xu Lang pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Only kids make choices; I want it all!"

This idea may be terrible, but that's the truth.

Moreover, Xu Lang was certain that nine out of ten men shared his thoughts.

Having made up his mind, Xu Lang said to Yang Mi:

"To film 'One Person, Two Immortals,' it really depends on your good looks, Sister Yifei."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei, who was standing to the side, was secretly pleased, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

Yang Mi, on the other hand, was still smiling, but it was visibly unnatural.

Seeing this, Xu Lang gestured with his hands as if he were framing a viewfinder, looking at Yang Mi.

"Hmm, you're pretty good at first place, especially your fox-like eyes, they're very distinctive. If you design them well, the photos will definitely turn out great."

Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, Yang Mi's smile brightened again.

"Brother Lang, really? Can you help me design it properly? Do you think the effect I produce can surpass 'One Person, Two Immortals'?"

"Well..."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat again.

"That little brat, she's always setting traps for me!"

He glanced at Liu Yifei and saw that although she seemed completely unconcerned, the way she kept glancing at him betrayed her.

Liu Yifei was indeed waiting for his answer.

In fact, not only Liu Yifei, but An Yixuan, who was talking to her, also glanced at Xu Lang from time to time.

His eyes were like knives, exceptionally sharp.

Xu Lang understood that look in his eyes. After all, An Yixuan had asked him for it more than once because of the "one person, two immortals" thing.

However, after Xu Qianyuan's incident, An Yixuan stopped pursuing the matter.

But not chasing after it doesn't mean forgetting it.

At this moment, after Yang Mi and Liu Yifei made such a fuss, she also got involved.

"Hmph, none of them are easy to deal with!"

Xu Lang muttered to himself, feeling inexplicably like he was in a agonizing battlefield.

He could complain in his heart, but with a knife to his neck, he couldn't dodge.

Looking at Yang Mi, this troublemaker, he reached out and ruffled her hair in annoyance, raising his voice to speak to the three of them:

"You can't compare when it comes to taking photos."

Everyone has their own characteristics and is suited to different styles. The design of photography cannot be copied blindly; it must be tailored to the individual.

That way, you can capture the model's true beauty.

His words pleased all three women.

However, unlike Liu Yifei and An Yixuan, Yang Mi was clearly not satisfied and kept asking questions.

Just then, a middle-aged woman walked briskly towards the front of the waiting hall; it was Liu Xiaoli.

She glanced at Xu Lang, then waved to Liu Yifei.

"Sissi, we're ready to board."

"Oh, I'm here."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei said to An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan, "Sister An, Pinyan, let's go too."

These people were all going to Changsha, so naturally they were all on the same plane.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli, Xu Lang used to find it most annoying when she came to cause trouble.

But now, seeing Liu Xiaoli was like seeing a savior, and he was secretly delighted.

"Aunt Liu, you've come at just the right time."

Then, he said to Yang Mi, who still wanted to ask more questions:

"Why do you have so many questions? Do you have a hundred thousand 'whys'?"

"Let's go quickly."

Xu Lang boarded the plane, thinking he had escaped a disaster.

Little did he know, even more hellish scenes awaited him in Changsha.
