Chapter 26 Bai Mengyan is coming to kill!
This meal lasted until late at night!
A refreshing evening breeze blew as the three of them emerged from the private restaurant, their hair fluttering in the wind.
Xu Lang and Jing Tian continued chatting, seemingly forgetting the time.
Chai Biyun felt like an irrelevant bystander, feeling both frustrated and helpless.
"Tian Tian, we have to go. We need to get up early to catch our flight tomorrow!"
Jing Tian snapped out of her reverie, glanced at her watch, a hint of lingering regret flashing across her face. She looked at Xu Lang and said:
"Xu Lang, I had a great time tonight, but I have to fly to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. Let's keep in touch!"
Xu Lang maintained his bright smile and said:
"Okay, we'll continue our chat when you get back!"
According to the script from her previous life, while Jing Tian was training for the big-budget film "The Great Wall," she also starred in "From Vegas to Macau," which was a move by the capital behind her to push her into the core business circle of Hong Kong Island.
Unfortunately, despite having a movie star by her side, her acting skills were still heavily criticized, and her reputation plummeted.
Xu Lang wanted to help her, but now was not the right time; he had neither status nor capital, so it was unlikely she would listen to him.
However, if you want to latch onto this powerful figure, you definitely need to do something.
Wait for the right opportunity to act.
After we broke up!
Xu Lang booked a room at a nearby hotel.
Xu Lang did not own property in Hengdian. He was used to a nomadic lifestyle during his modeling days, and in the early stages of his acting career, he often stayed in hotels booked by film crews.
The simple standard room became his temporary war room.
the next day!
He didn't plan to go out; instead, he wanted to study the character Yin Qianshang from the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
In his previous life, in pursuit of acting skills, he analyzed and dissected the characters in hit dramas. Years later, he is going to do it again.
He needed a quiet environment, so he put his phone on silent and started to get into the zone.
Learn about the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan", log in to your previous life's account, and play a round.
Although adapting the game into a TV series will involve significant changes, the core elements will remain.
Write a character biography, and then understand the relationship between Yin Qianshang and others in the drama, and what kind of performance is needed.
There's a method to it all!
He ordered takeout for lunch and when he picked up his phone, he found that Yang Mi had called him three times.
When asked to join the crew, he said he would go that night.
After lunch, he continued working.
The phone screen occasionally lit up with Yang Chaoyue's daily updates, Mao Xiaotong's complaints about the film crew, Jing Tian's message reporting that she had landed safely, and Meng Ziyi's class notes from the Beijing Film Academy.
He didn't reply to a single one.
This is his work principle: during the preparation period for a role, all social interaction takes a backseat to professionalism. Talent is a prerequisite for acting, but ultimately, it's this almost ruthless focus that gets you there.
Dusk!
He replied to everyone who had messaged him on WeChat, first apologizing, then explaining that he had just joined the team and was quite busy these past few days.
His message to Yang Rong was different from what he sent to others; he invited her out for dinner.
Yang Rong's next drama won't be until next year, so she was planning to travel to relax. When she received Xu Lang's invitation, she immediately changed her flight and came running.
Xu Lang booked a small roadside restaurant, the kind without private rooms, surrounded by all sorts of people.
There were factory workers who had just finished their shift, shop assistants who came to the milk tea shop for a quick meal, and white-collar workers in suits and ties; the crowd was mixed.
Yang Rong had dressed up specially for the occasion. Her voluptuous and mature figure, coupled with her decent looks, attracted a lot of attention.
She hadn't expected Xu Lang to choose such a place.
"Sister Rong, this is what the underworld is like!" Xu Lang explained to her. Although she didn't ask any questions, her demeanor and eyes said it all.
Yang Rong was a little surprised, but she didn't look down on it:
"Are you getting a feel for your next role?"
Xu Lang nodded in agreement with her guess, and she herself nodded in approval.
"Xu Lang, there's a reason why your acting is so good; if you can't experience the spirit of the martial arts world in ancient times, the spirit of the martial arts world in our modern world is pretty much the same, just with a different skin."
"It's commendable that you've managed to go to the grassroots level and integrate yourself into it. Your invitation to your sister to dinner today probably wasn't just about a simple meal, was it?"
Xu Lang said with a grin, "Sister Rong, let's eat first and chat while we eat."
Among the young actresses he was familiar with, Yang Rong had the best acting skills, the most senior experience, and was the one he was closest to.
She is the only choice!
As he spoke, he casually served Yang Rong food and poured her wine.
The conversation always revolved around the characters, professional and pure, but it was precisely this pure communication, coupled with meticulous and thoughtful care, that quickly and unconsciously brought them closer together.
As Yang Rong's conversation grew more animated, she used examples from the complex roles she had played, and the two talked more and more deeply, almost forgetting the noise around them.
Until Xu Lang's phone started vibrating violently.
Caller ID: Bai Mengyan.
"Xu Lang, you bastard, where are you? Pick me up at the airport in an hour."
"Huh? You're coming back? So suddenly?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You blocked my number and WeChat, and what's worse—you actually dared to hang up on me."
"Xu Lang, I'm back to settle accounts with you. Don't even think about hiding. You can't escape. Tonight, I'm going to make you pay the price."
"I'm boarding now. See you at the airport in an hour!"
"But I drank alcohol..."
"I don't care!"
It's over.
Xu Lang was a little helpless. Yang Rong noticed his mood and asked him what was wrong.
"Sister Rong, a friend of mine is flying to Hengdian, and I need to pick him up in a bit," Xu Lang said apologetically.
"Sister Rong, I'm so sorry, I invited you out for dinner and we had a great time."
Yang Rong raised his wine glass and said:
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Everyone has their emergencies. Besides, we've had a great chat tonight."
"I'm planning a trip to Europe. When I get back, we'll drink until we drop!"
Xu Lang picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with her, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sister Rong, it's a deal then. When you come back, it'll be my treat. We'll drink until we drop."
……
Airport, exit.
Xu Lang waited for about ten minutes before seeing that familiar figure dragging a suitcase out.
She wasn't wearing makeup, and her bare face showed the fatigue of a long flight, but her bright eyes instantly caught my eye in the crowd.
"Mengyan, over here!"
He waved hurriedly.
Bai Mengyan's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she quickened her pace to approach. However, as she got closer, her expression suddenly changed, and she began to punch Xu Lang in the chest and shoulders with her small fists.
"Xu Lang, you've gotten bolder, haven't you? You dare block me?"
"Who told you to block me? You're keeping me up at night, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Lang let her fists pound on him, took a few steps back, and said:
"Bai Mengyan, have you forgotten that we've broken up?"
Bai Mengyan scoffed, "So what if we broke up? Didn't we agree to be good friends?"
"Is this how you treat your good friends? You just block them like that?"
Xu Lang was a little helpless and said, "Okay, I was wrong, alright? I'll call a car, let's go back first."
"No need, I have my car in the parking lot!"
"Do you have a car?"
"It's my friend's; let me use it for now."
The two went to the parking lot, where the car had been sitting in a corner collecting dust for several days.
Bai Mengyan wanted Xu Lang to drive, but he had been drinking, so she had to drive herself.
Along the way, she kept complaining that Xu Lang had changed and was so cruel to her; he wasn't like this before.
"My dear lady, we've broken up, so my attitude towards you will definitely be different."
"You're just my friend now. If you disturb my sleep, I'll block you next time—hey, you've gone the wrong way."
"I didn't go the wrong way!" Bai Mengyan jerked the steering wheel and turned right into an alley without lights.
Slam on the brakes, put the car in neutral, pull the handbrake, turn off the engine, shift to Park, and unbuckle the seatbelt—all in one smooth motion.
He leaned out from the driver's seat, exuding a resolute aura.
"I'm so angry! I can't wait for the hotel, I'm going to deal with you right now."
She quickly and forcefully cupped Xu Lang's face with both hands, her soft yet angry lips sternly silencing all the words he was about to utter.
"Ugh—"
Xu Lang's eyes suddenly widened in the darkness.
