Unfortunately, Wei Shanshan is not Yun Xiangxiang.
Wei Shanshan has already shown her timidity. No one understands the entertainment industry better than her. Once someone steps onto the stage, even if they are just a silver-tier agent, their eyes are sharp and can easily expose anyone lacking confidence, ambition, or personality. Such people, even those with a stunning beauty like Yun Xiangxiang, would be brushed aside in front of them.
The fate of Huan Entertainment Century hangs on Wei Shanshan's attitude.
Apart from Huan Entertainment Century, there is also the All Stars Era, which is really not suitable. After Chen Yinghui's wife passed away, he never remarried, leaving a big dream for the leading ladies under his wing to become the boss of the All Stars Era. Compared to this kind of dangling, Yun Xiangxiang appreciates He Zhen's decisiveness and straightforwardness more.
In the past, Yun Xiangxiang would never have participated in such discussions, but after a month of getting along, they had truly become friends. Perhaps influenced by the environment, Yun Xiangxiang had lost her guard from her previous life and started to seriously interact with people of the same age. She couldn't bear to see Wei Shanshan go to the All Stars Era.
Admittedly, at Wei Shanshan's level, entering the All Stars Era wouldn't pose much of a problem. However, as one climbs higher, unless Wei Shanshan doesn't progress, once she stands out, she might become the prey in the eyes of the wolves.
[Yun Xiangxiang @ Fang Nanyuan: Can you inquire about Brilliant Entertainment?]
She already knew that Fang Nanyuan's family was in the capital, with favorable conditions. As the only son, he was determined to enter the entertainment industry, which angered his father, leading to the cutoff of his financial support, in an attempt to make him give up.
Fang Nanyuan would definitely have a way to inquire about Brilliant Entertainment.
[Yun Xiangxiang: Shanshan, I'm just expressing my opinion. You can take it as a reference, but the final decision is yours. Firstly, I think the All Stars Era is a murky cesspool, and secondly, with Huan Entertainment Century's style, it's really difficult for you to get in. So, why not choose a new company with strong financial resources? There will be less competition, more resources, and you will be valued.]
[Fang Nanyuan: I agree with Xiangxiang's opinion. I'll help inquire about Brilliant Entertainment.]
Wei Shanshan: [Heart emoji] Okay, thank you, Nanzhi, thank you, Xiangxiang. It's late, go to bed early.
Putting down her phone, Yun Xiangxiang tidied herself up and lay in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
Before she was reborn, she planned to study hard first, then apply to Hua Film University, and find a way to persuade Yun Zhibin. Now that Yun Zhibin was convinced, they probably wouldn't be so resistant to this path in the future.
The most important thing now was to sign with Huan Entertainment Century. How could she gain the initiative? It wouldn't be easy to make Huan Entertainment Century change its ways with just one or two successful films. She had to find a way to take on a major role and secure a good script, then appear before Huan Entertainment Century with extreme pride to achieve her ideal result.
"Care" was progressing well. It was only early October, and it should be finished by December. This was a low-budget film, with less sophisticated post-production, and they didn't even have a roadshow. At most, the distributor would promote it, and it wouldn't be difficult to release it during the Spring Festival.
If the response was good, she would definitely attract some attention and probably receive offers for scripts, but not for the leading role. Even if she performed well in "Care," being non-professional and young, and without an agency, she wouldn't be cast as the female lead.
She could only look for auditions and tryouts during the summer vacation. If there were any, she would strive to win the role.
She would definitely have to take leave for filming, unless she could guarantee a very good performance, she wouldn't be able to persuade Yun Zhibin.
Next, Yun Xiangxiang studied even harder. She had already finished the knowledge from the first and second year of high school, and in the third year, she would review comprehensively. As long as she mastered the material in these two years, there wouldn't be any problem taking leave to film with past exam papers.
Due to Yun Xiangxiang's diligence, she motivated others. Seeing Yun Xiangxiang almost always passing without any mistakes, Wei Shanshan and the others, as students of Hua Film, worked even harder, and the shooting was faster than expected, wrapping up in mid-November, taking 75 days in total.
During this time, Yun Xiangxiang achieved first place in her class in two monthly exams, which pleased Yun Zhibin very much.
Zhou Wei particularly liked Yun Xiangxiang. He had to rush for post-production and couldn't stay here for long. When he left, he repeatedly told Yun Zhibin that he must let Yun Xiangxiang pursue this path.
Yun Xiangxiang also offered Zhou a glass of juice as a toast. "Uncle Zhou, I also love making movies. If there's a chance in the future, please support me."
"Hahaha, don't worry, if there's a good script, Uncle Zhou will definitely help you," Zhou Wei assured.
Then it was Wei Shanshan and the others. After spending so much time together, everyone had developed a bond. Despite the convenience of transportation and advanced communication, they still felt reluctant to part. That night, Wei Shanshan and Yun Xiangxiang slept together, and the next day, which was Sunday, Yun Xiangxiang's family sent them to the airport.
After the "Care" crew left, Yun Xiangxiang's life returned to the rhythm filled with studying. The only difference was that on Saturdays, Yun Zhibin would take the family out for a trip. After New Year's Day, Yun Xiangxiang began to enter the final exam mode.
Before her final exams, a major piece of news broke out in the family.
That was the 38-year-old Su Xiuling was pregnant!
Soon, the 16-year-old Yun Xiangxiang would have a younger brother or sister.
Yun Zhibin was both happy and worried about this. He was happy to become a father again at the age of 38, which could be considered a late child, a joy that no man could resist. However, he was worried because Su Xiuling was too old, making her a high-risk pregnancy!
"Dad, don't worry. The doctor said that even though Mom is old, she is healthy and has a good mindset, which won't affect the child's growth." Under Yunxiang's intentional or unintentional influence, the family already treats her as an adult, and her words carry weight. "When the time comes, Mom can choose a good hospital, we can have a cesarean section, and then choose a postpartum care center for Mom to recover properly."
Suxiuling didn't have so many worries, she was overjoyed. Just the thought of having another beautiful child made her overflow with happiness.
Yunxiang and Yunlin are six years apart, and their birth was within the allowable range of the family planning policy. Only the child in her belly is an extra birth. Five years ago, the policy was strict, and teachers like Yunzhibin were absolutely not allowed to have extra births. But now it's different, so what does Suxiuling have to worry about?
"Xiaolin, do you like a little brother or a little sister?" Suxiuling is not worried that her daughter will reject it, but her son is still young.
Yunlin, who is not yet ten years old, answered without hesitation, "I like a little brother!"
He just wants a beautiful sister. If there is a little sister, Mom and Dad will definitely be biased.
A beautiful sister should be unique.
He doesn't want a delicate little sister, he just wants a little brother who follows him. If the little brother doesn't listen, he will beat him up!
No one knows what little Yunlin is thinking, not even Yunxiang can guess.
