Chapter 411: Chapter 412 I’m Willing

Sheng Yan did not give a precise answer, he simply said, "The world is vast and full of oddities. During the national wars more than a hundred years ago, there were people possessed by the devil, emitting roars unlike any human; eventually, the church confirmed that the person had a mental illness, but even now, there are those who question this explanation."

He Jinxia blinked her eyes, and thought to herself that if even the devil could travel through time, then her crossing over from ancient times was actually... not too bad, right?

After all, there was some trace to follow in ancient society, but as for devils and angels, one would have to reach back to the origins of the Earth and mythical tales.

He Jinxia’s eyes slightly brightened, and she discussed acting with Sheng Yan again, analyzing the differences between "immersing oneself in a character" and "empathy."

Sheng Yan’s voice was clear and melodious, his mellow and magnetic tone soothing away He Jinxia’s fatigue from filming that day.

When He Jinxia became more and more drowsy and was about to fall asleep, suddenly, she blurted out as if talking in her sleep,

"How do you always manage to pick up a book so easily? I see that your surrounding environment is completely different from a hotel; you must have a house in M country, right?"

Sheng Yan was slightly startled and lightly hummed in acknowledgment.

He Jinxia turned over, and her voice became fainter, "Next time, don’t stay in a hotel with me anymore..."

Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Sheng Yan did not make a sound, only answering in his mind—

I would be glad to.

Of course, he was even more willing for her to come home with him, which he silently added in his mind.

Another week went by, and the production team of "High Energy Classroom" worked overtime to finally finish the first episode. As the saying goes, the first step is the hardest; once the first episode was conquered, the second episode was completed just three days later.

Armed with just the two completed episodes, Director Li started contacting online broadcasters, striving to negotiate a good deal for "High Energy Classroom."

As for this, Luo You sighed with mixed feelings, having little confidence.

While the crew was negotiating, He Jinxia took a day off to attend the press conference for the film "World."

With less than a week until the film’s release, "World" began an explosive promotional campaign.

Advertisements for "World" could be seen everywhere on street billboards, bus ads, and large LED screens on buildings. Sheng Yan’s handsome face appeared on them, becoming more and more charismatic with each viewing.

Opening a smartphone, popups of "World" also greeted users on many apps. It was said Director Li had invested hundreds of millions in promotion for the film; with so much money poured in, it had to make some waves.

He Jinxia sat in the car, carefully observing her boyfriend’s large advertisements outside the window. With his hands on a sword and a cold expression, he resembled an ancient, mighty, and unmatched general.

In her ears, Luo You’s anxious voice continued to be heard, and He Jinxia couldn’t help but smile lightly, saying, "Brother Luo, don’t worry, maybe the film we made will turn out to be very good?"

Luo You fell silent for a moment, then said, "That’s all we can hope for. If the plot of the film wasn’t up to par, I wouldn’t have let you take the role, but after all, this film is different from the mainstream romance dramas. Cutting out the love storyline and turning it all into a teacher-student relationship is indeed a gamble!"

With "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" as a brilliant precedent, Luo You hoped the next TV drama that He Jinxia chose would not fall too short, or else the reputation they had built up might wobble.

However, securing a good script for an actor is easier said than done, especially since just last week, he received an invite for a TV drama, which was a fantasy romance series.

He had read part of the script and thought it was good, but the shooting date was a serious issue—he had to join the crew next month, which would clash with the schedule of "High Energy Classroom," so he had to painfully turn it down.

He Jinxia pursed her lips and chuckled lightly. She was quite open-minded, "Brother Luo, no one has it easy all the way. As an actor, it’s my main duty to take the right script at the right time and do my best in filming. By the way, how about the ballet teacher I asked you to find?"

Luo You snapped back to reality, "Found one. After you’re done with the press conference today, she’ll accompany you to the crew tomorrow."

Upon mentioning this, he curiously asked, "Why does she also need to be good at foreign languages? Are you thinking of having her teach you languages on the side?"

He Jinxia nodded, "After my trip to M-country, I felt learning some foreign languages wouldn’t be bad, might come in handy in the future."

Luo You laughed, "Then you can’t just pay the dance teaching fee alone."

He Jinxia, "It can just come out of my personal account."

Luo You shook his head, "Jinxia, the team’s money is for the team, and your money is your own. You’re learning to dance and studying foreign languages to make yourself better and expand your business avenues. There’s no reason for you to pay out of your own pocket; just use the team’s accounts."

Due to the contract signed last year, the commission He Jinxia earned was split into two parts, one into her personal account, the other into the team’s public account.

Whenever team members did tasks for He Jinxia, they could use the public account to get reimbursed by He Jinxia; these costs were supposed to be borne by her anyway.

Ever since she had a team, He Jinxia realized that celebrities might earn money easily, but spending it was just as easy. The saying "spending money like water" was a true reflection of many celebrities.

However, the team members were quite good to her, so He Jinxia would often treat them to meals; but since the public account had limited funds, she would use her personal account to avoid dipping into others’ reimbursement money.

Luo You thought He Jinxia was too kind. Other celebrities acted like iron roosters, hating to shell out from the public accounts, but when it came to her, she seemed willing to subsidize them.

At that moment, Luo You turned into Mommy Luo and couldn’t help but nag, "Jinxia this isn’t right, you can’t guard your wealth. Remember to save some money and give it to the financial advisor to invest in some projects for you, earn some extra money. Don’t always spend so freely, as if you didn’t work hard to earn it..."

He Jinxia listened to the lecture without saying anything. When Luo You finished talking, she seemed to remember something and mentioned casually, "Speaking of which, you’ve just reminded me, I’m planning to take out twenty million from my personal account."

Luo You immediately choked, all the previous talk about saving money was for nothing?!

He Jinxia raised her hand to pat his shoulder, smiling, "Relax, it’s for a good cause. I’m going to invest it in building a large supermarket."

Luo You, "...Why suddenly interested in supermarkets?"

He Jinxia, "To build one for my mom to manage, to make her happy."

Luo You, "..."

He thought for a long while, not knowing what to say, only advising, "Make sure you keep some money on hand for yourself."

Since she was setting up a supermarket for a relative, Luo You had no place to object, only reminding her to be careful and keep some funds for herself.

Arriving at the publicity site for "World," due to the cast ranking, He Jinxia could only use the public makeup room along with some second and third-tier celebrities.

It couldn’t be helped. The film "World" had gathered many top-tier stars, and by comparison, she simply didn’t measure up.
