"You've arrived."
Yan Shaohan, who was standing in the center directing the operation, looked over and beckoned to Xiao He and his group.
Xiao He took the initiative to greet him: "Director Yan, good afternoon."
It's already very cold in Beijing. Although it hasn't snowed yet, people are already breathing out white mist when they talk. Yan Shaohan, on the other hand, is dressed very simply, in just a pair of trousers and a denim jacket. He looks full of energy and is not affected by the cold wind at all, which Xiao He, who is wrapped in a down jacket, greatly admires.
Upon seeing Xiao He, he greeted him warmly: "Xiao He, Sister Liu, it's been a long time! Come, let me introduce our female lead to you."
He then grabbed Xiao He's arm and led him through the main room to a nearby lounge.
On the way, he was very excited: "I'm so happy that my goddess was able to play the female lead!"
Xiao He was somewhat surprised: "Did Director Yan refer to a real person when creating the female lead, Yin Lan?"
"Hehe, yes." Yan Shaohan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "At the time, I really liked her image, so I borrowed some of her appearance when creating the comic. I never expected the comic to become so popular... I didn't even expect her to come, but luckily Director Zhuang is very capable and helped me contact her, and she actually agreed to come!"
As he spoke, Yan Shaohan wore a lecherous grin: "This feels like a dream, so unreal—"
Xiao He: It is indeed a delightful thing to have the goddess model who served as the reference play the role herself.
Xiao He immediately became curious as well.
Who exactly is the "goddess" that Director Yan mentioned?
Pushing open the door to the lounge, one finds a strikingly beautiful woman sitting inside.
She was flipping through the script in her hand when she heard the noise and immediately looked up, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Ah, it's Yin Qi!"
Upon seeing the woman, Xiao He's eyes widened suddenly.
"It's actually Guo Xinya?"
Not to mention Xiao He, Liu Rulan was also momentarily surprised when she saw Guo Xinya.
Guo Xinya was the one Liu Rulan had mentioned to Xiao He before. Due to her outstanding appearance, she became a glamorous woman in the films of many directors as soon as she debuted, and was very popular.
But later, she insisted on challenging herself by taking on various roles that would damage her image, trying to prove that her acting skills far surpassed her beauty. In the end, she gained a little but lost a lot, achieving nothing and gradually fading from public view.
Actually, Guo Xinya was just an adult when she debuted. Later, she worked in various directors' film crews, playing various roles, until she won the Best Actress award for her role as a femme fatale. At that time, she was only twenty-four years old.
Now, many years have passed, and Guo Xinya is only thirty-four years old. She still looks stunning, seemingly unchanged from her younger days, and is considered one of the top beauties in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. Perhaps due to her less-than-ideal acting career and setbacks, Guo Xinya now possesses an added layer of understated intellectual beauty.
Xiao He had only ever seen her on television before, but now that he saw her in person, he finally understood the regret and pity that Liu Rulan expressed when she mentioned Guo Xinya.
Guo Xinya is truly stunning. Her facial features are perfectly proportioned, like a precious jade meticulously crafted by Nuwa when she created humans—exquisite and radiant. If she hadn't gone astray back then, she would probably be among the top actresses today.
Guo Xinya first nodded to Yan Shaohan, then turned her gaze to Xiao He and Liu Rulan: "Sister Liu, it's been a long time. Are these the new recruits you've been training recently?"
Liu Rulan nodded: "It really has been a long time. It seems like it was ten years ago when we last met, right?"
Guo Xinya gave a helpless bitter smile: "Yes, after all this time, it seems I've still accomplished nothing. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
"Don't say that. I've also left Jiaxing Entertainment and started training new talent on my own, haven't I?"
Liu Rulan smiled and looked at Xiao He: "You can just call her Sister Xinya."
