Chapter 269 Yang Mi: Lin Xuan’s longest loving fan! (Please subscribe!)

The day after signing the contract, Liu Yifei got the news and called Lin Xuan excitedly.

Counting this time, it was already the fourth time she and Lin Xuan had collaborated, but she was still excited and could feel it through her phone.

As mentioned before, Liu Yifei collaborated with him in three dramas in the first year after returning to China.

Lin Xuan's humor and talent, as well as his pranks that made her both happy and troubled, left a very deep impression on her.

The little girl unconsciously became dependent on him.

By the time I was filming "Dragon", the sense of dependence gradually sublimated into a hazy emotion.

However, at this moment Liu Xiaoli suddenly took action and directly severed the connection between her and Lin Xuan.

At the same time, other scenes were arranged for her to work with other actors.

However, after filming a movie, Liu Yifei deeply felt the gap between ordinary people and Lin Xuan.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli probably regretted it.

Until the mother and daughter came into contact with Tang Dynasty and heard that the crew was worried about the male protagonist, they thought of Lin Xuan in a tacit understanding.

Even a layperson like her could see the vast differences between the crew.

Rong Xinda's boss Li Xiaowan found her and wanted to sign her as a company artist.

This crappy movie loses 100% of its money!

Looking back, Lin Xuan's work schedule for this year is already full, and she has no chance to spend money to jump in line.

Rongxinda is now one of the top five film and television companies in the industry and can steadily produce several dramas every year.

Other companies at least have memorable peak periods, but Rongxinda has always been in a tepid state.

But there were not many common topics between the two of them. She was afraid that Lin Xuan would hang up the phone and start chatting all over the place, just talking about the war in Iraq and next year's Taiwan elections.

These words must not be said to her.

Not only Rong Xinda, but also established film and television companies such as Tangren, Zhouyi, and Huayi.

As for the pay, it will definitely help her achieve spicy freedom.

Although she doesn't have many roles in these roles, her career in film and television has been cleared.

For most artists in the industry, this opportunity is like pie in the sky.

It wasn't until Liu Xiaoli urged her to take a shower that she reluctantly hung up the phone.

In the past two years, Yang Mi has often received invitations from the crew to guest star in young roles.

From then on, Lin Xuan would only send a congratulatory text message if her work became a hit.

However, Yang Mi did not agree on the spot. Instead, he called Lin Xuan and asked for his advice.

Lin Xuan called back and was connected in less than five seconds.

Lin Xuan advised her not to sign at that time.

Yang Mi's tone sounded a little raw, after all, they hadn't seen each other for more than two years.

When the filming of the film was just finished, she always liked to call Lin Xuan when she had nothing to do, similar to Liu Yifei some time ago.

None of the dramas that made Yang Mi popular were written by Rong Xinda.

Rong Xinda has been on a decline. After his vitality was severely damaged in "A Dream of Red Mansions", he can only be described as lingering.

"it's me."

Since the TV series became a hit, Yang Mi suddenly became a famous figure in the school, and some classmates even asked her for autographs.

However, Lin Xuan was very busy at work and did not answer calls or text messages several times. The number of times Yang Mi contacted him immediately decreased.

After a year, she was working with Lin Xuan again.

Apparently she had been waiting for this call for a long time.

"Hey, is this Director Lin Xuan?"

The development of things satisfied both of them.

If she were here on such an occasion, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

This girl must have been from the north all her life. She can talk so well. Fortunately, answering the phone is free.

Only then did Liu Xiaoli return to the hotel and tacitly agree to Liu Yifei's solo invitation to Lin Xuan to star in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Why is this girl looking for me?

In "The Best in the World", she played a guest role as Yagyu Piaoxu when she was a girl.

Children nowadays are very sensitive, and they can sense the slightest hint of rejection immediately.

This greatly satisfied her vanity.

How many acting students in professional colleges can't find any acting roles after graduation? She is already pretty good.

Lin Xuan put down his cell phone and found that the conversation between the two lasted for more than an hour.

Lin Xuan has signed the contract and the dust has settled. Liu Yifei is naturally very happy.

There were several missed calls on the phone, some from Gao Yuanyuan urging him to come over to sleep, and one from Yang Xiaomi.

The only exception was probably at the end of last year.

Liu Yifei was a little too excited and chatted with him for a long time while grabbing her cell phone.

However, Yang Mi still chose to believe him without being given a reason, and really rejected Rong Xinda.

Perhaps in her opinion, Lin Xuan would rather sign a contract with Wang Jinhua despite a huge favor, which already explained everything.

"that……"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate. This is not like your character."

"Then I'll tell you straight away, I have something to trouble you with."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Do you know about Director Li Dawei's preparation for filming a new drama?"

"I know." Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

After "Jin Fen Family" became popular, Li Dawei joined hands with CCTV to collaborate on another drama.

Also adapted from Zhang Henshui's novel, the drama is called "The Pink Family" and stars Tong Dawei and Sun Li.

The two dramas have nothing to do with each other. The original works are two different novels, so they are just a comparison.

But the reputation and ratings of this drama are far less than those of "The Golden Family".

Yang Mi continued: "I auditioned for a supporting role yesterday, but I felt a little unsure..."

Needless to say, Lin Xuan understood what she meant.

"I understand. I'll call Director Dawei later."

"real!"

Yang Mi was so pleasantly surprised that the volume was much higher.

Her friendship with Lin Xuan was not very deep, and she was already prepared to be rejected.

"What's so deceptive about this? But let's agree in advance that this drama is invested by CCTV and I can help intercede, but there is no guarantee that it will be successful."

"I'd appreciate it if you could help. If that doesn't work, I'm simply not suitable for this role."

"You have a good attitude. Just wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan called Li Dawei.

After a few polite words, he mentioned Yang Mi's name.

Unexpectedly, Li Dawei actually had an impression of Yang Mi and praised her for her beautiful eyes.

As for the role, after discussion with the crew, it was agreed that she would play the role.

Lin Xuan's call was in vain.

After telling Yang Mi the good news, the little girl was naturally very happy.

"The director is very impressed by you. You fought for this role yourself."

He didn't want to take the credit and just told her the truth.

Yang Mi didn't seem to believe it and said, "Director Lin, are you free tomorrow? I would like to treat you to dinner to express my gratitude."

"Forget it about eating, I have something to do tomorrow."

"You just finished filming House of Flying Daggers, so it's your rest time these days."

Lin Xuan asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

"Hehe, you forgot, I am your fan, I follow your schedule."

He knew about the fans, but Lin Xuan never imagined that Yang Mi was his die-hard fan.

She has accounts on several forums and websites and often posts news related to him.

Every time a new drama is launched, she spares no effort to help promote it.

If a negative fan jumps out, she will always rush to the front and fight to the end. Over the past few years, this account has accumulated a lot of fame in the fan circle.

"Fans? Really or fake. Are you so loyal? It's been several years and there hasn't been a change."

It’s crazy for little girls to chase stars, but the speed at which they change their idols is also amazing. It’s common for a drama to have just one husband.

"I'm not going to lie to you! If you don't believe it, I'll give you a gift tomorrow. You'll know when you see it."

Yang Mi spoke firmly and vowed.

"Now that you say that, I'm actually interested in this gift."

"Then are you free tomorrow? If not, I can do it another day."

"Just tomorrow at noon, I'm really busy in the afternoon. By the way, let me tell you that not all celebrities' schedules will be made public."

"That's it. It's up to you to choose the restaurant. Celebrities must care about their privacy."

"You know a lot. Let's go to the mall tomorrow and wait for me, and I'll send a car to pick you up."

"Okay! That's it, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan explained the good things to his assistant, got up and returned to the master bedroom.

…………

The next morning, Lin Xuan took a car to the private club.

This kind of private gathering between friends is safer in a club.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yang Mi came to the box.

"Idol! Long time no see!"

Yang Mi smiled, and her fox eyes became more and more charming.

"I haven't seen you in more than two years. Come sit down."

She nodded and sat down on her seat, put down her backpack, and looked around the box.

"This place is really luxurious. A meal will cost a lot of money. I only brought 10,000 yuan. I don't know if it will be enough."

Every time she guest-starred in a TV series, she was paid several thousand yuan.

However, she was still a minor, so the money was kept by her mother, nominally saving it for her and returning it to her when she grew up.

This ten thousand yuan was saved from the remaining salary.

Little girls like to buy clothes and jewelry, and the expenses are not small. It is really not easy for her to save such a small amount of money.

"Ten thousand yuan!" Lin Xuan pointed to the teapot on the table: "This pot of tea costs one thousand yuan."

"Ah! So expensive!"

Yang Mi put down the tea cup with a shocked expression.

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "You are my fan, I will treat you to this meal. Of course, you have to prove that you are a true fan."

"I promise it's true. I brought all the gifts."

She took out a thick photo album from her bag, which was full of photos of Lin Xuan participating in activities. There were hundreds of them.

"Not even Xiaoka. What can a few photos say?"

Photocards are official photos of celebrities, and are much more expensive than posters.

However, the quality of the cards is better, and there is a chance of getting an autograph.

"I have a lot of small cards at home." Yang Mi pointed at the photo and said confidently:

"You pick a photo at random, and I can tell you which year, month and day it was taken, where it was taken, and what event I participated in! This should prove my fan status."

"It's true! You are so powerful!"

Lin Xuan looked a little surprised.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, try it."

"Okay, let's see if you're bragging! This one..."

Yang Mi glanced at it and said immediately without thinking:

"This was taken at the Magic City Mall on September 9 last year. The sunglasses you endorsed were at a new product launch conference."

The photo is a half-length photo of Lin Xuandu, and there is nothing visible in the background.

Lin Xuan thought for a long time before he remembered.

"Amazing!"

He gave a thumbs up in admiration.

These photos all look similar, I don’t know how this girl remembers them.

"If you choose another photo, I guarantee that it will be good."

Yang Mi said proudly.

Lin Xuan didn't believe in evil, so she picked other photos, and she got all the answers correct.

There were several photos that even he couldn't remember where they were taken.

Closing the photo album, he handed over the menu.

"Just be casual, it's a reward for you."

"Then I'm welcome."

Yang Mi took the menu with a smile and ordered a few famous dishes that she had never heard of before.

While waiting for the food, Lin Xuan asked her about fans.

Although the network department had regular reports, he still wanted to hear the opinions of real fans.

For example, how fan organizations in various places operate, their opinions on his transition to filming Republic of China dramas, Anti-Japanese War dramas, and his opinions on scandals and gossip.

According to Yang Mi, Lin Xuan's fans can generally be divided into three categories: online fans, offline fans, and fanatical fans.

Online fans are also fans of his drama.

He watches every TV series he plays in, and even watches some TV series several times. He discusses the plot on the Internet and recommends friends around him to watch it.

However, these people basically do not participate in offline activities, and they will not go out of their way to buy the products endorsed by Lin Xuan.

As for offline fans, it’s easy to understand.

In addition to online activities, they frequently participate in events and support the products they endorse as long as they are within their capabilities.

The above two types of fans are relatively sensible, while fanatic fans are like Yang Mi.

Signing autographs to participate in events and purchasing endorsed products are no longer enough to satisfy their star-chasing hobbies.

These people have the money to contribute, the ability to contribute, and express their love for Lin Xuan in their own way.

For example, on Lin Xuan's birthday, he spent his own money to go to the TV station to request songs and blessings.

For example, when a movie is released, a group can book the theater to watch it, etc.

As for Lin Xuan's preparation for transformation, it has indeed caused controversy in the fan circle.

At present, the situation is not very serious.

After all, the first work of the transformation, "Golden Pink Family", did not jump out of his past persona.

What is really controversial is "Bright Sword".

No matter how good he is in this drama, there are always some people who just want to watch him act cool.

But the transformation has been decided long ago. He can't stay in his comfort zone forever, and the fans who don't like him can only get together and disperse.

As for Lin Xuan's scandal gossip, it's a bit complicated to talk about.

Yang Mi will make a long story short. Overall, fans don't want to see him having scandals with other female stars.

Especially female fans, they are all Lin Xuan's girlfriend fans and wife fans.

Of course, I don’t want to see my “boyfriend” or “husband” with another woman.

In contrast, male fans are much more tolerant.

As long as the target of the scandal is not the female celebrity they like, they basically just watch the fun.

However, Lin Xuan always has scandals with actresses in every drama.

Regardless of their attitude, fans have become numb.

Yang Mi's order was quickly served, and the two chatted while eating.

Although "Pink Family" is destined to receive dismal ratings, he still couldn't help but give some advice, especially on acting skills.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in this business, but after all, Yang Mi is his fan and a die-hard fan, so he gets some preferential treatment.

After lunch, Lin Xuan asked her assistant to take her home, while she took a car to the company!
