Chapter 73 Mingxu
Linda was already accustomed to the two girls' admiring looks. "Slick talker, why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit Athena on set." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
Zhu Wanwen said, "I'll do odd jobs."
Linda glanced at Zhu Wanwen and said, "I heard Jiang Yu talk about you. You're going to join the group next month, right? Study hard."
"Thank you, Sister Linda." Zhu Wanwen said respectfully.
Linda ignored Hu Xiaoxiao and walked to the camera, crossed her arms, and watched the actors perform.
Her gaze fell on Athena, with a sense of oppression. During a break, she called Athena over and said, "From what I can see, your acting hasn't improved at all. Xia Qing taught you step by step, but your performance is only passable."
Athena whispered, "Sister Linda, I will study hard."
"Hard work alone isn't enough; you also need to be perceptive. You have to understand the role and immerse yourself in it. When acting, don't always think of yourself as Athena. Think of yourself as the character in the play, and try to understand her behavior and logic."
"Yes, I'll go back and think about it."
"You have to think about it more. I can't have Xia Qing teach you step by step from beginning to end in a play. If that's the case, I might as well let Xia Qing play this role. You can't ask me to give you a shadow teacher for every play, right?"
Seeing Athena being scolded so hard that she couldn't even lift her head, Lu Xinghe came over to help and said, "Sister Linda, Athena is a newcomer. Don't be so harsh on newcomers. Among the newcomers, Athena is already pretty good. She's learned very well. If you don't believe me, just ask everyone else."
"It's not enough to be good, you have to do better and be the best. There are new people every year. If you don't seize the opportunity, the opportunity will not wait for you." Linda gave Athena some advice before leaving the set.
Linda had been gone for a while, but Athena was still dejected and listless.
Lu Xinghe comforted her, saying, "Sister Linda has always had this temper. Don't take it to heart. Sister Linda only sets very high standards for people she likes. She won't even bother to talk to people she doesn't like. It's not just you. Many artists who became famous under her guidance have gone through this."
"I know, thank you." Athena felt better.
"Come on, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best." Lu Xinghe winked at her.
Athena finally grinned, "I will."
Hu Xiaoxiao spent quite some time on the set of "A Happy Family Brings Good Fortune" and learned a lot about acting. Whenever he had free time, he would come here and became familiar with everyone in the crew.
That day, Hu Xiaoxiao sat in an inconspicuous position as usual, watching the actors perform while eating a biscuit in his hand.
Suddenly someone sat down next to her, his tall figure seemed to cover her completely, and then he stretched out a slender, beautiful hand with a warm palm in front of her.
She bit the biscuit, turned her head and looked at the owner of the strange hand.
The first thing she saw was his sparkling eyes, he was looking at her with a smile on his lips.
His lips are very beautiful, with clear lip lines and the right thickness. When he smiles, they turn up slightly, but when he purses them, they have a bit of firmness.
"Are you Hu Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao?" He stretched out his hand again and pointed at the biscuits in her hand with his eyes.
Hu Xiaoxiao recognized who he was. He was Mingxu, a top star on TV, as famous as Lu Xinghe.
Lu Xinghe and Mingxu were both young actors cultivated by Baogang Television as pillars, with all resources being poured into them. The only difference was that Lu Xinghe was from Linda's faction, while Mingxu was from Charlie's faction.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately took a biscuit, put it in Mingxu's hand, and said, "Mingxu, you look even better than on TV."
In terms of appearance, he was not much worse than Chen Tianwang. Seeing him up close, he looked even more handsome.
A refreshing 3:7 side-parted hairstyle, casual and natural, with a carefree and open demeanor.
Mingxu took the biscuit and ate it, but he ate it in a very handsome manner. "I've heard Charlie talk about you. I've been very busy and didn't have time to get to know you. Let's just treat it as an acquaintance today."
As we are all from the same school as Charlie, we will have many interactions in the future. Hu Xiaoxiao extended his hand and said, "Please give me your guidance in the future."
Mingxu extended his broad, powerful hand, shook Hu Xiaoxiao's, and said, "It's an honor. We might be able to collaborate on Charlie's new play next year."
"I still don't know what Charlie's play will be about next year."
Mingxu took Hu Xiaoxiao's biscuit box very familiarly and ate a piece. "It's a martial arts drama. It will be filmed next year to compete with Baozhutai. The production team is all the best people under Charlie."
Baozhu TV is very good at making martial arts dramas. The ratings of several martial arts dramas in a row have overwhelmed those of Baogang TV in the same period. Baogang TV has long wanted to vent its anger, but has never been able to create a martial arts drama that can crush Baozhu TV.
In the competition of martial arts dramas, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan are slightly inferior.
Martial arts dramas are a favorite genre among Hong Kong residents, and the market is enormous. TRT has always wanted to capture this market, but has always struggled.
Hu Xiaoxiao had recently been on set for modern urban dramas, and had never seen a martial arts drama. So, he took the opportunity to ask Mingxu about filming martial arts dramas.
Mingxu answered patiently and carefully. However, by the time Hu Xiaoxiao finished asking, he had already eaten all the cookies in her box.
Lu Xinghe finished filming and came over to see it. He shouted, "Mingxu, you're eating so much. Be careful Charlie will find out and come after you."
Mingxu smiled slyly, "Charlie won't come to Linda's set."
"So, you came here under the pretext of visiting my class to get free food and drinks?"
"How can eating and drinking be considered a lie?" He turned to Hu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll treat you to a delicious meal some other day. I can also bring you whatever you want to eat."
After saying that, Mingxu stood up, and Hu Xiaoxiao realized that he was very tall.
She was considered tall, but when she stood next to him, she was actually a head shorter than him.
When it comes to food, Hu Xiaoxiao is the most unceremonious. She said, "The bakery to the left of the TV station has delicious freshly baked egg tarts."
Not only egg tarts, but their bread is also made and baked fresh every day and sold immediately. They are all super delicious.
Of course, the best thing about the tarts is the egg tarts. The crust is crispy and delicious, and it crumbles away with every bite. The egg yolk inside is fragrant, tender, and sweet without being greasy.
"No problem, I'll bring it to you next time. I'll bring it to you while it's hot." It's obvious that Mingxu is also a good eater. When the egg tarts are still hot, they are full of milky aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is the best.
After Mingxu agreed to Hu Xiaoxiao, he and Lu Xinghe walked arm in arm, chatting and laughing as they left the set.
Although the two belong to two different camps, they have a good relationship in private. They often visit each other on set and play together after work.
