The next day, the three of them met at a familiar coffee shop. Zhao Mei and Qiu Jiahe ordered coffee and waited quietly for Ji Jinyao.

Soon, the door was pushed open with great force. Zhao Mei and the other person subconsciously looked up. As expected, this kind of force and speed could only be attributed to Ji Jinyao.

Ji Jinyao put her bag on the table and sat down on the sofa angrily: "What's wrong? You sent me a message so late at night. Fortunately, I am a night owl, otherwise you would have waited for me today."

Zhao Mei and Qiu Jiahe smiled secretly. They wanted to give Ji Jinyao a surprise, so they only said that there was a big event and did not tell her the result of passing the audition.

The two looked at each other and said the good news at the same time: "Jia He passed the audition." "I passed the audition."

Ji Jinyao's hand shook as she was pouring coffee into her mouth, and she almost poured the coffee into her nose.

"The results shouldn't come out so quickly, right?"

Zhao Mei nodded: "It's true that it hasn't happened yet, but judging from Director Wen's attitude, it should be a done deal."

"What did he say?"

So Zhao Mei told Ji Jinyao the comments and statements she overheard yesterday.

After hearing this, Ji Jinyao was very excited: "Great, Jiahe, you really made me proud. I didn't think you could get past the second female lead, especially with such high reviews."

Qiu Jiahe asked doubtfully, "You didn't expect me to go even if I could pass?"

Zhao Mei, who was standing by, was the first to answer because she knew the answer: "Because I need to push you in front of Director Wen, and this is the best opportunity. Besides, he will also give guidance to those with poor acting skills, and his advice is very useful. It's a win-win situation."

Ji Jinyao also confirmed: "That's right. And I also said, I didn't expect you to pass the second female lead. Even if you don't pass the second female lead in the end, with your spiritual energy, as long as Director Wen looks at you well, he won't let you go."

"In the end, there's a high probability that you'll be assigned another role to see if you have the potential. If you do well, you'll definitely be the second female lead or even the first female lead in the next movie."

"For example, the female lead this time was already chosen. She was the fourth female lead in his last film, Tian Guang."

Zhao Mei caught the key word: "Skylight? I heard the director said during the audition that the last audition was very difficult to describe in words."

Ji Jinyao was sipping her coffee contentedly, smacking her lips as she pondered, "Ah, that open audition was indeed quite lively. The entertainment industry was experiencing a period of transition, and it just so happened that the female stars with better acting skills were all out of work."

"So it wasn't a surprise that it turned out that way. Director Wen was so angry that he laughed. Later, when we had dinner together, he complained to us, saying that anyone who couldn't even speak five words should just go back to elementary school and not act anymore."

"That dinner was the funniest one we've had in all the years we've known each other. It was so weird."

Qiu Jiahe found this particularly incredulous: "Can't you even memorize your lines? If we were in the drama club, that devil Yan Zhi would definitely dazzle us all."

Ji Jinyao laughed as she recalled, "Not only that, the most common ones were those with expressionless faces. Even Director Wen, who is famous for his expressionless faces in the entertainment industry, said he had met his match."

"There were also those whose Mandarin wasn't very good, and who sounded like they were entering a village when they spoke. There were also those who, after being criticized by Director Wen, turned around and scolded Director Wen. In short, it was very lively."

Zhao Mei was also shocked: "No wonder Director Wen can say it so hard to put it into words..."

Ji Jinyao waved her hands: "There's nothing we can do. During that period, there was a lack of young talent, but the entertainment industry couldn't do without new talent, so we could only promote this level of talent."

"But after all, there's no official news yet. Once Director Wen confirms it, he'll probably call Golden Harvest and tell you the time and location to join the crew."

Qiu Jiahe nodded: "Then do I still need to practice the script before the actual filming?"

Ji Jinyao glanced at her phone. "No, there will be adjustments after filming begins. Besides, the one you have is not complete. There's no point in practicing anymore. When filming starts, the character might even be completely different from what you imagined. So it's better to conserve your energy."

After saying that, Ji Jinyao shook her phone and said, "I have to leave first. I have some things to do at the company. The new PR department is too new, and it won't work if no one is in charge."

After saying goodbye to Ji Jinyao, the two of them drank their coffee and walked silently towards the dormitory.

There was still some moisture in the Capital University in the early morning, and walking on the path among the greenery made people feel particularly relaxed.

Zhao Mei was walking when she suddenly stopped. After yesterday's audition, she realized that her previous dissuasion almost buried a person's talent.

"Jia He, it's true that I didn't know you well enough before. If you weren't so determined, you might have been buried because of me."

Qiu Jiahe also stopped, looked back at Zhao Mei and shook his head: "It's okay, Meili, you should know that there are many things that if you can still be stopped by others, it means that you are not firm enough, not confident enough, and not passionate enough."

“What I truly love is that no matter how many difficulties there are along the way, I will choose it without hesitation, even if the person closest to me stands in my way.”

Zhao Mei looked at her determined and gentle expression and suddenly laughed: "Okay, I like the confidence of our Jiahe. Unlike me, my biggest dream is to have more money and less trouble."

"Everyone's pursuits are different, just like in this script. In fact, even without the variable of Kong Qian, Maomei and Awu would not be together, because they have never been on the same path."

"But as long as people can truly respect each other and don't force things, I believe we can go on like this for a long time, right?"
