Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 30 Bringing the Artist Back to the Villa
"Yang Xin, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shi Lei asked.

The person who came was Yang Xin, the quirky Zhong Ling in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. The two had chatted on the set of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Yang Xin’s resources are actually not bad, she played the lovely Song Tianer in "The New Chu Liuxiang", Lu Wushuang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the Fifth Princess in "The Seven Fairies", and Princess Benyue in "Swordsman".

Perhaps influenced by the role of Zhong Ling, the characters she plays are all pure, cute, quirky and eccentric. Such characters are very likable but easy to be labeled.

So she sought transformation later on, filming melodramas and spy dramas, and later gradually faded out of the entertainment industry for some reasons.

Yang Xin’s resources are actually considered good, as many acting students don’t even have the opportunity to film a movie.

This year, Yang Xin filmed "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and was able to make money for the company with the role of Zhong Ling.

Isn’t Yangxin’s labeling problem actually an advantage?
Like the characters in "Love Apartment", they are so well-known that we can't even remember their real names.

But the foundation of "Love Apartment" is there, and it will take off as long as they are given a chance.

What Yang Xin lacks is a female protagonist who is deeply rooted in people's hearts, such as Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I", Tang Xuejian in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", and Luo Qingchuan in "Palace Lock Heart Jade"...

Although he knew how to make Yang Xin famous, Shi Lei did not intend to promote her hard. The reason was simple: he was worried that Yang Xin would retire from the circle like in her previous life.

Since you have decided to be an exploitative capitalist, of course you will support those female stars who will not quit the circle.

"Director, can I act in your new film?" Yang Xin asked directly.

Shi Lei was slightly stunned. Is it so direct?

Yang Mi threw himself into his arms for a while before asking, why did you ask directly?
It seems that the rumor is true.

Yang Xin played the maid of Zhang Ziyi in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". On the first day of filming, Yang Rui waited from five in the morning to six in the evening. Seeing that Zhang Ziyi and the others had finished filming and left, she finally couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly ran to the director angrily and said: Can you let me shoot first? My classmates are waiting for me to go back to rehearse.

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"My new film was shot in North America, and the Chinese characters in it are just background panels," Shi Lei explained.

It's not that he doesn't want to give the role, but he can't. He is a young director and it is his first time to apply for an Oscar. He has to shoot according to the original film. If he makes any changes, there may be problems.

"Do you want that? I...I can do it." Yang Xin said with a blushing face.

Shi Lei showed a surprised expression, was silent for a moment, and said: "Are you ready?"

Of course he knew what Yang Xin meant, but how could it happen directly in the office? Shouldn't he give a hint and then go to a hotel or villa?

"Ready... ready..." Yang Xin lowered her head, pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingers and turning them in circles.

Uh... Shi Lei was completely silent. He didn't mind eating her right now, but this was the company office. Yang Mi and Yang Xin were both here, and the other women were probably on the way.

He took out a pen, pulled out a note, wrote down his villa address and personal phone number on it, handed it to Yang Xin, and said with a smile: "If you are really ready, just go to this address to find me, and call me after you arrive at the gate of the villa area. Don't tell this number to anyone else."

Too many people knew his previous phone number, and he received unfamiliar calls from time to time, which was too troublesome. He has handed that phone over to his assistant and bought two more phones, one for work and one for personal use.

The office phone is mainly used for communication with Deng Hongxu, Mike, Han Sanpin and others, and the private phone is used with family and friends.

"Okay, director." Yang Xin trotted out with a note.

Shi Lei looked at her departing back and smiled slightly. Yang Xin had a straightforward personality, but it was probably the first time she was so shy just now.

Yang Xin graduated this year and is in a very confused stage. Being unemployed after graduating from the acting department is no joke. She is worried about her future, so she took the initiative to fight for the role.

However, this should have used up all the courage that Yang Xin had accumulated with great difficulty. I wonder if she has the courage to go to the villa tonight.

As soon as Yang Xin went out, female artists from the company kept coming to see him. These people were more reserved. Yang Mi and Yang Xin knew each other before, so she dared to ask directly, but other female artists did not dare to ask directly and could only enter the office with various excuses.

Shi Lei didn't try to bait them and just said that the movie was shot in North America and there were no suitable roles.

Time passed quickly, and Shi Lei sent the last female artist away. The first few female artists came to him to fight for roles, and the latter female artists came to him as a routine. After all, other artists went to see the boss, so what was the point of not going to see him?

The main thing is that the boss doesn’t seem to have set any conditions, as long as they are female artists, they can enter his office.

In the parking lot, Shi Lei just opened the car door when a figure rushed out, "Director, can I treat you to a meal?"

Shi Lei took a closer look and saw that it was Huo Siyan!
Huo Siyan worked for Huayi in her previous life, and now she chose Taolin Film and Television because of his relationship. Now it is 02 and Huo Siyan has never been to Huayi, so she can have sex.

She waited for him directly in the parking lot. I can only say that she is worthy of being in Huayi. Huayi has a popular cocktail party culture, and Huo Siyan must be able to drink to become one of the best.

"Get in the car! No need to treat me. I'll eat at the villa tonight. The cooking aunt is very good. I'll take you to try it." Shi Lei made a direct invitation. They were already waiting in the parking lot. There was nothing else to do tonight, so he couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the actress.

"Okay, boss. Thank you, boss." Huo Siyan was extremely surprised. She walked around and sat in the passenger seat.

Taolin Company has not recruited all its staff yet and does not have a dedicated driver.

Shi Lei smiled, feeling a little excited, he opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

As soon as he sat down, Huo Siyan came over and fastened his seat belt.

Soft hair swept across Shi Lei's face, Xuefeng squeezed Shi Lei's arm, and a rich but not pungent fragrance rushed into his nostrils.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Huo Siyan blew a breath of hot air on his face, and then looked into Shi Lei's eyes affectionately.

There was some ambiguity in the car for a moment.

Perhaps because the parking lot was not a good place, Huo Siyan and Shi Lei looked at each other for a moment, then sat back with blushing faces.

"Boss...Okay."

Shi Lei's appetite was excited. Huo Siyan was really good at it! He became interested.

Shi Lei did not do anything rash to Huo Siyan along the way. Although Volvo is very safe, his life is his own.

He worked hard to become a billionaire, but if something goes wrong he will lose a lot of money.

Huo Siyan secretly glanced at Shi Lei from time to time along the way, and this little action made Shi Lei even more interested.

Half an hour later, Shi Lei returned to the villa and his aunt had already prepared dinner for two.

The two sat opposite each other and had dinner together. Perhaps because she was shy, Huo Siyan kept her head down the whole time, and only her red ears could be seen.

In such a state, how could Shi Lei have the stomach to eat anymore? He just took a few bites to fill his stomach and put down his chopsticks.

Huo Siyan put down her chopsticks almost at the same time and lowered her head.

"Come with me." Shi Lei took Huo Siyan into the master bedroom on the second floor and closed and locked the door.

"Go take a shower first!"

"Okay~~" Huo Siyan walked into the bathroom of the master bedroom with a red face.

The sound of water spraying from the shower was heard. Shi Lei smiled slightly, turned on the air conditioner and adjusted the temperature, then lay directly on the soft Simmons mattress.

……

"Boss... my clothes are wet. Can you send me a set of clothes?" Huo Siyan shouted shyly.

Ouch, this routine is old-fashioned, but it is very effective...
