Chapter 78 I have someone above me! A Tang person!
As a Northeasterner, Han Xian's favorite breakfast is tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and meat buns.
However, soy milk has a diuretic effect.
He enjoyed his breakfast very much, and the tea he had just brewed himself was also quite comforting. However, when he felt the urge to urinate, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
Although Gulinaza's office has a rest room, it is not a real suite and does not have a private bathroom. If you want to urinate, you have to go to the office's public restroom.
Stepping out of the office and looking around, I noticed it was quite quiet and there weren't many people around.
Naza's female assistant wasn't outside, so she could only try to find a public restroom, and if that didn't work, she would just ask whoever she encountered.
Just then, a man in a black suit walked out from around the corner of the corridor.
He was tall and strong, rugged and tough, with a slightly roguish air about him.
Han Xian recognized the other person at a glance—Wang Yanlin!
He had no connection with Wang Yanlin, but since Wang was also from Northeast China and had played the second male lead Gu Xuanwu in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," he remembered this fellow Northeasterner when he recalled the events of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer."
Wang Yanlin clearly didn't recognize Han Xian, this newbie, but the typical Northeasterner's outgoing personality made him nod politely in greeting.
It's good to be outgoing and friendly!
I love people who are naturally outgoing!
This is Tangren's office area, not the audition location, so Wang Yanlin's purpose in coming here is quite obvious.
Han Xian smiled and nodded in response, "Dude, where's the public restroom?"
Wang Yanlin paused for a moment, then pointed behind her and asked Han Xian, "From the Northeast?"
Han Xian chuckled, "You're from Heilongjiang Province, Heilongjiang City. And you? Judging from your accent, you're from Northeast China too."
"You're from Anshan, Liaoning Province. You're not an artist from Tangren Media, are you? Are you also here to audition for 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer'?"
"Yes! This is my first time at Tangren, so I can't find the public restroom. As for the audition, if it goes well, I won't need to audition again; if it doesn't go well, I probably won't need to audition again either."
Han Xian openly admitted it without any hesitation.
But it was precisely because of this that Wang Yanlin's smile became genuine.
Not all Northeasterners are straightforward and sincere, but if you do encounter one, you'll find yourself enjoying their company without even realizing it, especially if the other person is also straightforward and sincere.
Even if the other person's straightforwardness and sincerity... are partly an act.
Wang Yanlin winked, "Dude, do you have anyone at Tangren...?"
Han Xian smiled and said, "I know a few... friends, so I guess I have connections in higher places."
How many friends did he make at Tangren?
Nazar, the soon-to-be number one female star of Tangren Media, is definitely not his friend, because she is one of his concubines, but they have not yet had a real relationship.
Chen Yao spent a day and a half with this aloof Sichuan girl and found her to have a good personality. She was neither spoiled nor pretentious, and they could chat and have fun together. They considered each other friends.
As for whether Chen Yao was one of his concubines, that's uncertain.
After all, Chen Yao and Meng Ziyi are roommates and best friends. If Chen Yao is also the female lead, then the sisters... um... why do I suddenly want to eat rice bowls?
Needless to say, Lin Chengxin and Lin Chengxin are definitely friends, even though they aren't in a godfather-godson relationship.
But he remembered that Lin Gou was a traitorous ninja from the Tang Dynasty. Could Lin Gou be considered half a Tang Dynasty person, or a quarter of one?
So, he does have a friend in Tangren, the Sichuan girl who went home for the Chinese New Year and isn't there.
Wang Yanlin looked Han Xian up and down curiously. "You're so handsome, how come I've never seen you before? Are you a newcomer to the industry? Which school did you graduate from? Which company are you signed with?"
"I'm a newbie who's only been in the industry for a little over a month. I'm not from a professional art school and I'm not signed with a company. If I didn't have friends to help me, I definitely wouldn't be able to find any work and would have to work as an extra."
"I understand! It's tough being a newcomer! But you have friends at Tangren Media, so things will be a bit better. Tangren produces several self-made dramas every year. You might not be able to play the male lead as a newcomer, but playing a supporting male role shouldn't be a problem!"
Moreover, you're handsome, so any TV series you star in will attract the attention of directors and production companies, and things will get much better after that.
Of course, if you can sign with Tangren Media, your development will be simpler and faster. After all, the boss of Tangren is obsessed with good looks and loves to promote handsome men, you know what I mean.
When it came to the hardships of being a newcomer, Wang Yanlin empathized and even began to offer Han Xian some pointers.
He graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and although he had the help of his senior classmates, he still worked as an extra for a few years.
After graduating, I signed with a talent agency, and through the company's connections, I was able to get some roles, both small and large.
For example, the audition for "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" was arranged by the company for him to try out.
The male lead was decided by Tangren Media themselves, so he couldn't compete for him, but he could still try for the second and third male leads.
After exchanging a few words, Han Xian couldn't hold it in any longer and went to urinate. Wang Yanlin thought for a moment and then went in to urinate a little with him.
It's not easy to meet a fellow Northeasterner in the same industry, someone who can give you some pointers and make you feel like an older brother. Even if he just peed, you still have to peed along with him.
After urinating together, the two left the public restroom. They were wondering whether to find a place to chat or go for a drink when Wang Yanlin suddenly changed her expression and tugged at Han Xian's sleeve, "Tangren's soon-to-be number one female star!"
Is she Tangren's potential number one female star?
that is not……
Han Xian turned around and, sure enough, saw Gu Li's graceful figure walking towards him.
It was a very simple and ordinary white loose shirt, high-waisted blue straight-leg jeans, and white canvas sneakers, but because Gulinaza wore it, it looked both comfortable and stylish.
"I was wondering where you'd been, turns out you came here."
Gulinazha spoke to Han Xian first, then glanced at Wang Yanlin and nodded to him as a greeting.
Han Xian smiled faintly, "You wouldn't call me if you couldn't find me?"
Gulinaza shrugged, "Both phones ran out of battery and I forgot to charge them."
"Why don't you call me using Sister Wei's phone?"
"Oh right, I can even borrow Xiaowei's phone to call you. Why didn't I think of that?"
Gulinaza laughed at her own stupidity.
That silly, goofy smile completely ruined her cool and fashionable image!
Han Xian: "..."
The perfect, unreal image of Minaza in my heart!
It all fell apart just like that!
He shouldn't have let Naza laugh!
From now on, we should provoke Naza more often, making her keep a straight face and act superior so that she can be high and mighty while he is low and mighty!
Gulinaza put away her silly smile and resumed her aloof demeanor, giving Han Xian a knowing look.
"Come to my place later to change your clothes, and then let Sister K see your appearance."
"good!"
Han Xian nodded in response, watching Gu Lina wave goodbye and leave, his gaze lingering on her slender waist and incredibly long legs.
Naza is suited to a cool and aloof demeanor, which gives her a refined and elegant air, making her look better—even if the coolness is an act.
As for Nazha's silly and innocent state, let him go home and enjoy it on his own!
"..."
From the moment Gulinazha came to find Han Xian until she left, Wang Yanlin remained silent.
After Gulinazha disappeared, he glanced at Han Xian with a strange look.
The meaning was clear: What do you mean, little brother? The Tangren friend you mentioned is Tangren's quasi-number one sister? You just said Tangren has several friends, could there be a second sister, third sister, number one brother, second brother, and third brother among them?
Han Xian shrugged. "Gu Lina is a friend I made while filming. You know 'God of War Zhao Yun'? She played Diao Chan and I played Lü Bu. We had scenes together, and we became friends while filming."
Wang Yanlin was stunned. "Didn't you just say you were a newbie who'd only been in the industry for a little over a month, and that you were just an extra before? How did you end up playing Lu Bu?"
He recognizes the words "extra" and "Lu Bu" separately.
But suddenly putting them together, he was a little confused.
Han Xian told the truth: "I am indeed a newbie. I joined the crew of 'Zhao Zilong' as an extra. My first extra role was a corpse, but after filming for a day, the director made me the one holding the flag in the foreground. Then on the third day, he made me play a special agent assassin. A few days later, the actor who played Lü Bu had an accident, so the director made me play Lü Bu."
Wang Yanlin asked blankly, "In the TV series 'Zhao Zilong,' what role is Lü Bu?"
"Male Four."
"No...you mean, you joined the 'Zhao Zilong' production team less than half a month ago and worked your way up from an extra to the fourth male lead, playing Lü Bu?"
"Hmm!"
"No...why...?"
Wang Yanlin is having some suicidal thoughts!
He admitted that part of his straightforwardness and sincerity was an act, but the other part was absolutely genuine!
Han Xian's straightforwardness and sincerity... were all an act!
No wonder he was able to go from being an extra to the fourth male lead in just a few days!
Dude, isn't your acting a bit too good?!
Han Xian shrugged. "Maybe it's because... I'm like some of my readers, pretty handsome?"
"..."
Wang Yanlin stared at Han Xian's handsome face for a few seconds, and she was about to have an EMO!
As the saying goes: Because you've been rained on, you want to hold an umbrella for others!
As the saying goes: It's not that I'm afraid my friend is suffering, it's that I'm afraid my friend is driving a Land Rover!
He got along very well with Han Xian, a fellow Northeasterner who was new to the industry, and the experienced veteran Han Xian was already considering taking him under his wing.
He even thought that if Han Xian's Tangren friends couldn't help him get a supporting role in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," he would try to help Han Xian get a small supporting role in another production, just to make a living for a few days, and deal with the rest later.
As it turned out, before he could even take out his umbrella, he discovered that the other person's sky wasn't raining but a clear, sunny day. In fact, it could be said that Han Xian's original sky was a clear blue sky with bright sunshine.
If he were to hold an umbrella for Han Xian, the only effect would be the opposite—he might accidentally block the blinding sunlight from Han Xian's head.
But this awkward situation really can't be blamed on him!
He didn't know that this young man's friend was Tangren's soon-to-be number one star!
I had no idea that this young man had only been in the industry for a few days and was already playing the fourth male lead in a big-budget TV series!
This is completely inconsistent with his definition of a newcomer!
Han Xian clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, "I'm sorry, brother. It's my fault for not saying everything. It's really because I didn't know how to say it. If I had told you that I had only been in the industry for a few days and had already played the fourth male lead, you probably would have thought I was crazy!"
Wang Yanlin sighed and said, "Brother, there's no need to apologize. If anyone's to blame, it's your older brother for being ignorant and overthinking things."
Han Xian thought for a moment and whispered, "Brother, I heard from a rumor that you've been cast as Gu Xuanwu, the second male lead in 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer'."
Wang Yanlin's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"
Han Xian hesitated for a few seconds, "It's not guaranteed to be true, but just take it as fact."
"..."
Upon hearing such vague words, Wang Yanlin actually took them seriously!
There's nothing we can do about it; Han Xian's friend is Tangren's potential number one female star.
Sometimes, rumors spread by the "family members" of company employees are... more likely to be true!
Wang Yanlin smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thanks, brother! I won't stand on ceremony, we'll see in the future."
Han Xian smirked, "Don't mention it, brother. Gu Lina is waiting for me. I'm off now."
Wang Yanlin waved his hand, "Go see your best friend with peace of mind. We'll have a drink together when we meet the crew."
"..."
Eh?
They haven't even exchanged a few words yet, how come they've already agreed to drink together?
Bro, I can drink with Nazha and the others because they're the leading ladies.
But you're the supporting male character...you're not worthy!
How about we cancel the drinking party?
Watching Wang Yanlin leave, Han Xian inwardly grumbled, but felt no guilt.
Although his insider information was just made up, I'm 80% sure it's true!
After all, he was not in the real world, but in the world of an entertainment harem novel.
The life paths of the several female protagonists he encountered in novels, such as Sister Meng, Nazha, Dilraba, and Yang Mi, were all altered to some extent.
However, it seems the changes will primarily affect the female lead; as for the male supporting character, Wang Yanlin...
Based on his intuition as a man, he felt that the author's focus was definitely on the female protagonists, and he shouldn't waste too much ink and brain cells on male supporting characters who were like NPCs.
Therefore, Wang Yanlin's career path should not change. At the very least, since the other party auditioned for "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," the role of the second male lead, Gu Xuanwu, should still be played by Wang Yanlin.
