Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

"Haha, do you feel less nervous now?"

Chen Songling smiled and spoke, her bright, sparkling eyes filled with tenderness.

"Don't keep thinking you're a newcomer. You're already a movie actor, your status is much higher than mine as a TV actor!"

"So don't be so formal, and don't call me Sister Ling, just call me Songsong, that's what my friends call me."

It's hard to imagine that this is a pitiful girl with a tragic family background, just like Lin Zhenlie, who was beaten by her mother to the point that she had to run away from home and now lives with her godmother.

Her own life was not going well, yet she still wanted to be a light for others.

This gentle person was later cheated out of all her property and kicked out of her home by her most trusted god-sister, god-brother, and manager.

Later, misfortune struck again when her father suddenly passed away, and she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and depression, and at one point almost committed suicide.

Fortunately, she eventually pulled through with the help of a man.

Looking at Chen Songling's gentle face, He Xi felt that she might be able to become that man.

I can't give her a unique and complete love, but I can help her avoid pitfalls in advance and reduce the harm she suffers.

It's not that I'm too saintly, it's just that my sister is so gentle.

"Okay, Songsong... Sister."

He Xi finally added the word "sister," after all, the other party was three years older than her, which was like holding a gold brick!

The song we're recording for the music video this time is Chen Songling's "Longing".

The director's name is Yuan Jianwei. He is a TVB director and screenwriter. He doesn't have any outstanding works in his career. His only achievement is that he later married Karena Lam.

The music video is very short, less than four minutes long, and features a large portion of it showing Chen Songling singing in front of the camera.

Therefore, the amount of content that He Xi needs to film is pitifully small.

There are only three shots.

A man sits in the middle of the room, pretending to be profound.

One of them walked up to the fireplace and sat down, making eye contact with Chen Songling who was sitting next to him.

Finally, after knocking on the door, he exchanged a smile with Chen Songling, who opened it.

The content was so simple that He Xi felt she didn't even need to think; she could make money with her eyes closed.

When Yuan Jianwei saw He Xi, he was stunned for a moment.

"With such a small budget, how did we manage to hire a movie star?"

He said it with an exaggerated expression.

With such a simple plot, you could just hire any male model and shoot it for a few hundred dollars.

It's really a waste of talent to have He Xi, a movie 'star' who almost killed Jet Li in the cinema, direct this film.

However, when the contract was signed, "Tai Chi Master" had not yet been released.

Xu Ke Studio, with the mindset of taking on any work they could and not letting the company's employees sit idle, immediately signed a contract with He Xi.

Moreover, the price was incredibly low.

Yuan Jianwei felt he had made a huge profit, while He Xi didn't complain about earning too little.

At least he met Chen Songling here, which is another new connection, as well as... the Chicken Club for completing tasks and getting special rewards.

Unlike the mainland martial arts champion that Xu Ke Studio signed last year, who played the lead role in a major IP sequel in his second film debut.

As a result, the box office revenue was cut in half compared to the previous one, and the word-of-mouth was also terrible.

The starting point is high, but once you're on that level, it's hard to lower yourself to play supporting roles.

Before long, that guy will be so bored from being unemployed that he'll end up working part-time at a gym.

With He Xi's physique, going to the gym is naturally one way out.

But it's unnecessary.

He doesn't feel obligated to play the lead role or carry the weight of a film.

Building connections, cultivating good character, and increasing brand awareness little by little is perfectly fine.

It took less than an hour to film He Xi's three shots.

Most of the time was wasted on makeup, finding camera positions, and adjusting equipment and lighting, leaving less than two and a half minutes for actual shooting.

And all of them were completed in one take.

After filming, He Xi packed her things, found the director and Chen Songling, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

It was still early, so he planned to go and check on Gu Tianle.

It's said that the actress they're working with today is also a male model.

Many of Hong Kong's future stars started as GG models; who knows, they might just be big fish in the sea.

As soon as he reached the two of them, Yuan Jianwei called him back.

"Ah Xi."

Yuan Jianwei scrutinized He Xi from beginning to end, his admiration undisguised.

"Director, is there anything else?"

He Xi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, just like when she first joined a film crew and was stared at by Stephen Chow and Li Lichi.

Yuan Jianwei stroked his chin, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Ah Xi, we need to revise the script a bit, and you'll have to film a few more scenes!"

He Xi was completely speechless.

No, you're just a music video director, what right do you have to revise a script!

Does our lousy music video even have a storyline?

Do you want to copy the Thai guy, with twist after twist, until the very end you don't know what the advertised product is?

I think there's no such thing as the "Brush of Glory" anymore!

"Director Yuan, I still have..."

"We can pay more!"

Yuan Jianwei spoke directly.

He Xi's expression remained unchanged, but she sneered inwardly.

Brother, do you know what my commission rate is?

I earned less than 100 yuan from this order. If the company hadn't reimbursed my travel expenses, I wouldn't even have enough for a taxi!

How much more money can you add?

"Director, this isn't about giving more money..."

"I want to add a kissing scene for you!"

Yuan Jianwei immediately revealed his hand.

Chen Songling also spoke up from the side.

"Ah-Xi, the director said that the lyrics include 'the person I'm looking forward to, the kiss I'm looking forward to,' so adding a kissing scene would be perfect."

No!

When I filmed a music video with Vivian Chow last time, the director asked me to add a kissing scene.

Why are they still coming back even though they've changed personnel?

You TVB directors and producers have run out of tricks, haven't you?

Wait, wasn't it Vivian Chow who brought it up last time?

Never mind, it's not important!

Chen Songling spoke frankly, clearly indicating that she genuinely cared about the effect of the music video.

However, Yuan Jianwei's expression always gave He Xi a strange feeling.

On the surface, it seems like he just wants to take advantage of his movie star status, but He Xi always felt that there was another layer of meaning behind it.

Then, Yuan Jianwei added with a smile.

"I think you're a great look, Ah Xi, and you get along really well with Song Song. You're a much better match than she was with Yi Mian!"

"Fans will probably be very happy to see your kissing scene!"

Ekin Cheng is now a contracted actor with TVB. He has collaborated with Chan Chung-ling on five or six dramas since the 91 drama "The Moon Shines Over the Nine Provinces".

They are hailed as the best on-screen couple by fans, and many fans ship them as a couple.

However, Ekin Cheng has a girlfriend.

Last year, he started dating TVB's leading actress, Maggie Siu, and with her help, he gained a lot of resources and began to slowly rise to fame.

But now, Ekin Cheng has been assigned to Chan Sung-ling by his fans.

So is there some trick to it?
