Chapter 68: Strike while the iron is hot
Xia Xingcheng came to the company and saw that Gu Xingxi was there again all morning training
alone, her heart suddenly felt quite relieved.
Now Gu Xingxi no longer needs her to supervise her all day long, and his focused and serious attitude
is far more than she expected.
Arriving at the office with a heart full of pleasure, Xia Xingcheng opened her computer and was ready
to emote on her agent's Weibo account, but was attracted by the hotness list.
When she saw Gu Xingxi's name appearing in the third place of the hotness list, she rejoiced with a
new intention.
Dialing the photographer's number, Xia Xingcheng opened the door and said, "Do you have an
appointment today? Take the time to take a set of photos for me."
Right now she calculates that if she strikes while the iron is hot, it will certainly cause a wave of fever
again among Gu Xingxi's fans, and also get more attention from the outside world.
The other end of the phone replied quickly and even said to Xia Xingcheng in a complimentary tone,
"No problem! As long as Ms. Xia says so, I'll put off all my appointments that day!"
Since the last video was a big hit, the beneficiaries besides Gu Xingxi, the repercussions generated in
the circle also made the photographer taste the sweetness.
Not only did appointments flock to the site, but the number of followers on Weibo also skyrocketed
continuously.
Originally, the photographer wanted to find a chance to talk to Xia Xingcheng privately, hoping to
become Gu Xingxi's royal photographer, and not to be paid, but Xia Xingcheng took the initiative to
contact himself.
"Oh, I won't take up too much of your time, so we'll talk face-to-face later?" Xia Xingcheng held the
phone and smiled blandly, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the huge change in attitude of everyone
around her.
The photographer agreed: "Good, then I will prepare and wait for you to come."
Hanging up the phone, Xia Xingcheng came to the training room and saw Gu Xingxi doing body
flexibility exercises.
"Let's practice here in the morning." Xia Xingcheng gently clapped her hands, interrupting Gu Xingxi
who was immersed in it.
Gu Xingxi looked at her stern and wise face and asked in dismay, "Sister Xing, is it that my movements
are not standard enough?"
At this point Xia Xingcheng realized that her look was perhaps too serious and invariably always gave
him a sense of awe.
The corners of her lips raised a faint light smile, she replied in a gentle tone, "No, you're doing very
standard, I just contacted the photographer, and I'll take you as a group of ancient costume photos
later." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gu Xingxi suddenly realized, the tense heart also abruptly relieved down.
One hour later.
Xia Xingcheng watched the makeup artist applying makeup to Gu Xingxi, she couldn't help but feel that
such a handsome face was simply tailor-made for "Crossing 2".
"Sister Xing, will this black costume make me look too gloomy?" Gu Xingxi examined herself in the
mirror, and her gaze locked with Xia Xingcheng, who was standing behind her.
Xia Xingcheng gestured for him to get up, seriously looked up and down, raised his eyebrows and said,
"There is a different flavor, gloomy is not appropriate, evil madness is more suitable for you. Try some
more images, the future will also be wider."
"Sister Star really has an eye, I also think this look of his is particularly good, I will certainly try my best
to take the effect of the final photo!"
The photographer also came over and echoed Xia Xingcheng's praise of Gu Xingxi's image, then
prepared to start the official shooting.
Throughout the morning, Gu Xingxi tried several different styles of ancient costume images in one
breath, and he got into the mood to grasp each image just right.
Neither exaggerated and deliberate, and no sense of incompatibility, the image seems to be a natural
fit with itself.
Xia Xingcheng returned to the office in the afternoon and just sat down when she received the photos
from the photographer online.
"Sister Star, according to your request only a simple retouch, basically the original."
"Yes, please."
Xia Xingcheng opened the photos in the folder, saw Gu Xingxi a black suit emitting a dark and icy
temperament, as well as snow-white robes under the son of the world's unparalleled abundance of
handsome, crimson fancy dress revealed by the demonic and evil ......
Each image on the photo is lifelike, as if a thick, full-bodied character is standing in front of you.
This is the advantage of Gu Xingxi's good base, excessive beautification and modification instead of
showing his ultimate beauty.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
The following afternoon, Xia Xingcheng spent half a day negotiating with a TV station to book a reality
show for Gu Xingxi, and finally had some time to rest after the busy day.
She turned on her computer as usual and habitually glanced at Twitter first, but now she couldn't help
but stare in amazement.
The previous short video caused Gu Xingxi to accumulate 100,000 fans in a short time, but Xia
Xingcheng saw the number of fans skyrocket to 300,000 overnight.
The old-fashioned photos released yesterday are the subject of numerous comments, and fans have
asked for more sugar, full of impatient anticipation.
Just then, the cell phone at the table rang and Xia Xingcheng pulled away from her joy, the call was
more than what she had been waiting for.
"Miss Xia, can you arrange Gu Xingxi's current schedule, I sincerely invite him to participate in the
filming of 'Crossing 2', with the role tentatively set as the second male."
Hearing the director's words, Xia Xingcheng was immediately overjoyed, but still maintained her
composure and calmly replied, "Since the director is interested, it's our honor, let's arrange a time to
discuss the details."
The director thought Gu Xingxi had another film contract, and further fought: "Good, Miss Xia don't
worry, with Gu Xingxi's own conditions, I'm sure to give him the best opportunity, I'm confident that this
drama will make him a hit!"
After the appointment was made, Xia Xingcheng's mood was so excited that she couldn't help but
inform Gu Xingxi of the good news at the first opportunity.
However, when Gu Xingxi's voice came into her ears, she remembered that today was the day of Gu
Yaoxi's surgery.
The surgery took a long time, so Xia Xingcheng decided to go to the hospital to accompany Gu Xingxi
to give him encouragement, but just after leaving the house, she bumped into a figure at the elevator.
I don't know if it's a bad time to meet up with David Chow.
Xia Xingcheng ignored it, his eyes brushed with him ready to walk into the elevator.
However, David Zhou's trip was specifically to find Xia Xingcheng to explore the situation, and took the
initiative to stop her to ask: "Wait, I have something to ask you, has the role of 'Crossing 2' been
decided yet?"
Xia Xingcheng looked at him and changed his usual tone, instead of being pleasant, and immediately
understood David Zhou's purpose.
She made an unaware look and asked rhetorically with a cold face, "I don't work on the set, let alone
direct it, so how would I know?"
David Zhou blinked awkwardly, still looking good-natured, and simply asked bluntly, "Well, actually I
was going to ask if Gu Xingxi has been invited to take the role of the second male?"
Xia Xingcheng knew that David Zhou would not be able to resist asking himself, his face turned and his
eyebrows raised with a hint of complacency and said, "That's right, I just agreed to the director's
invitation!"
