Chapter 63 Xu Lang, you smell so good, I miss you so much!
Chapter 63 Xu Lang, you smell so good, I miss you so much!
Exhausted, yet completely satisfied.
The two left the hotel and randomly chose a restaurant.
They didn't talk about the breakup anymore, nor about their crazy night before, nor about the battle that had just ended.
As if nothing had happened, they sat face to face, discussing matters within their professional fields.
The most talked-about topic these past two days has been the biggest entertainment news: Wang Feng confessed his love to Zhang Ziyi, but the news was completely overshadowed by Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi's relationship.
These days, even confessions of love have to be scheduled according to the headlines. The two couldn't help but tease each other a bit, their laughter revealing the wisdom of those in the industry.
The topic then shifted to Xu Lang's career plans.
The conversation then turned to Xu Lang's career, where he stated that he had opened his own independent studio and was not affiliated with any company.
Qin Lan said that many top-tier celebrities are also taking this route, but this path is not easy, especially for newcomers like Xu Lang, it is extremely difficult.
However, she said that if she has the opportunity in the future, she will think of Xu Lang first.
"Sister Lan, those words are enough!" Xu Lang raised his teacup, using tea instead of wine:
"If anything happens in the future, I, your brother, will go through fire and water, even at the cost of my life!"
Qin Lan smiled, picked up her teacup, clinked it against his, and her eyes flashed with a meaningful glance:
"You took good care of my sister last night; that's what you should do."
After the meal, the two said goodbye at the restaurant entrance.
The first thing Xu Lang did after leaving the restaurant was to call Hehe, only to learn that she was still busy with her studio.
That's a fair assessment of their efforts!
Xu Lang went to the studio to meet her.
She kept the studio very clean, with tables, chairs, computers, and cabinets for storing miscellaneous items and files.
Xu Lang took out his phone, uploaded a song to his computer, and then played it.
The intro to the song "Chengdu" slowly begins, a familiar melody, yet with a slightly different feel.
This is a version that Zhao Lei specially re-recorded for the music video shoot, making it even more emotionally resonant.
"What brought tears to my eyes wasn't just the alcohol from last night..."
As Zhao Lei's distinctive smoky voice rang out, he chuckled, gently closed his eyes, and gradually became immersed in the music.
But she didn't seem to hear any difference from the previous version.
Xu Lang's phone rang; it was Yu Zheng calling.
Zhao Lei has already sent the new version of the song to Yu Zheng, who will then pass it on to the director.
Yu Zheng called to ask Xu Lang and Bai Mengyan to come over and meet with the director to discuss the filming details.
Xu Lang shouted "Hehe!" and headed towards a teahouse near Hengdian.
Yu Zheng, Director Zhi Lei, and Bai Mengyan had already arrived, and Xu Lang joined with Hehe. The meeting immediately got down to business.
"Xu Lang, this is director Zhi Lei. He directed the music video for 'Chengdu' and also wrote the script himself."
"I've also listened to Zhao Lei's new version, and the emotional intensity is amazing! If this song were paired with good visuals, it would definitely be a hit, and might even spark a new wave of tourism to Chengdu!"
The next few hours became an intensive creative session.
From the emotional tone and camera language to the itinerary, they even finalized the details by video-connecting with Zhao Lei, who was far away in Beijing.
Final plan finalized: filming to be completed within one week.
Furthermore, Zhao Lei was willing to provide assistance, contacting small bars and friends in Chengdu to cooperate with the filming.
During this time, he also held a video conference with Zhao Lei, who was far away in Beijing, and they talked about many things.
Zhao Lei is willing to provide a lot of help.
Everything is agreed upon!
Xu Lang invited everyone to have a meal together, and then they would travel to Chengdu together the next day.
At a dinner party!
The conversation was still about the music video.
The biggest unexpected gain was that Yu Zheng gave him an audition opportunity with the production team for the roles of Deng Zhi and Huo Heng in the TV series "Ban Shu Legend".
"Xu Lang, although this drama is produced by my studio, I can't make the final decision directly." Yu Zheng looked at Xu Lang, his tone unusually serious.
"These roles have a lot of screen time, and other directors are also looking at actors. I'm just giving you an opportunity; whether you can land the role depends entirely on your own abilities."
The two scripts were placed in front of Xu Lang.
Xu Lang picked it up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you, Teacher Yu, I'll give it a try!"
Give the script to Hehe!
In the film and television dramas produced by Yu Zheng Studio, his word is law. He could have exempted Xu Lang from the audition with a single word, but he didn't!
He seemed to want to express something, or perhaps he wanted to prove something...
Xu Lang knew perfectly well what was going on, but remained calm and composed, expressing his gratitude. Ultimately, the choice was still in his own hands.
"This music video should be filmed in a week. Go audition as soon as you get back!"
"OK!"
When the event ended, it was already past nine o'clock, and the neon lights on the street were flashing.
Bai Mengyan and Hehe were unaware of the entertainment industry; they were simply happy that Xu Lang had received an audition recommendation.
He pestered Xu Lang, wanting him to treat him to a late-night snack.
The three returned to their rented room and took turns showering.
When Xu Lang came out of the shower, the two girls had already hidden in the bedroom and closed the door; Bai Mengyan didn't forget to remind him to order barbecue and beer delivery at eleven o'clock.
Xu Lang lay on the sofa and habitually opened his chat history. It was still those girls, but there were no more messages from Mao Xiaotong.
Meng Ziyi shared her school life in great detail and posted several selfies, looking youthful, beautiful, and very pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Yang Rong's mature and voluptuous figure, each has its own merits.
What surprised Xu Lang the most was Jing Tian. She was as enthusiastic as ever, but when she brought up the matter of the male lead in "Ban Shu Legend," she asked Xu Lang if he had gone to see Yu Zheng yet, since she had already spoken to him.
"Huh? You greeted Yu Zheng? So he wants me to play the male lead?"
Xu Lang raised an eyebrow!
Yu Zheng never mentioned this to him. Could it be that it was when he was asked to sign an agency contract before?
Given the current situation, Jing Tian has no reason to lie to herself.
【Sister Tian, what did you say to Teacher Yu?】
The reply came instantly: "That's me. I hope to team up with you and get him to give you this opportunity. He should give me that face. Hasn't he contacted you yet?"
Xu Lang had doubts, but then he thought of Jing Tian's background.
Although her acting skills are not great, her background is undeniably powerful. The fact that she personally spoke up shows that she has the authority to do so.
However, the evidence was never mentioned, and he even went through the process like an unrelated actor, competing with others for roles.
[Sister Tian, Teacher Yu didn't mention this to me, but he did give me two important supporting roles to choose from.]
【What? Yu Zheng didn't mention that? I'll call him right away.】
Xu Lang sent another message, but there was no reply. They were probably on the phone communicating with Yu Zheng.
He still had some concerns; acting alongside Jing Tian might provoke the forces behind her.
But Jing Tian was completely unaware of this.
Xu Lang put this matter out of his mind and focused on maintaining relationships with other girls.
At midnight, the food delivery arrived.
The three of them cleared the tea set from the coffee table, placed the barbecue on the table, and started chugging beer straight from the bottle.
And so began their late-night snack time together.
Hehe and Bai Mengyan are both new to this industry, so they can't really get a word in edgewise about what happened today and can only be bystanders.
However, Xu Lang was able to chat fluently with Yu Zheng and director Zhi Lei, who both expressed great envy and admiration.
He even specially toasted Xu Lang three times!
After several rounds of drinks, empty bottles were piled up on the ground, and all three were about seven or eight parts drunk.
The final scene was that all three of them were either fast asleep on the table or lying on the floor.
Hehe, holding in his pee, stumbled and went to the bathroom to relieve himself. When he came out, he instinctively went to the bedroom and fell asleep on the soft bed.
Xu Lang was the second person to go to the toilet, but instead of going to the bedroom, he went to the sofa in the living room and lay down directly.
Bai Mengyan picked up the wine bottle, waved it shakily, and muttered something about drinking, but no one paid any attention to her.
Squinting, she saw Xu Lang sleeping on the sofa. Her eyelids were also heavy, so she climbed onto the sofa.
"Let's move over a bit, I need to sleep too..."
"Xu Lang, you smell so good... I miss you so much... mmm..."
Perhaps it was the alcohol that catalyzed it, or perhaps that the relationship was never truly over.
The moment those soft lips touched me, it was like igniting a sleeping lion!
