After losing his temper twice, Director Jia felt like he was about to turn into a Charizard. He tried to hold it in, but couldn't hold it back any longer, so he went straight to the group to complain.

"Fuck, I'm almost pissed off! Choosing a supporting role is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive than choosing a lead. They either cast me as a prostitute or a wooden figure! I'm so pissed off my coffin is about to burst!"

"Hahaha, Lao Jia, you're at it again! Isn't it because you have such a bad temper that you scared all those little girls? That's why you're so nervous? Can't you learn from your neighbor Monkey Brother, and be a little gentler with the actors? Hahaha."

"Bullshit, you are shooting a wildlife documentary. They are all animals, so they are just gentle!" Director Jia was very angry about Director Monkey's teasing words.

But speaking of it, some of their directors have switched careers to lead other programs. Look, someone just returned yesterday and dragged Lin Ying'er, whom he was planning to bring in to film a movie, to film some deserted island survival show. Speaking of this, Director Jia couldn't help but get angry. He repeatedly @ed Director Zhang and started complaining in one breath.

"It's all your fault, Old Zhang. You stole both Film Emperor Gu and Film Queen Lin in one go, and you're filming some deserted island survival show. It's such a waste of talent! So, can you please ask for me? Don't you have a month left after you guys come back? Is Film Queen Lin free to come visit my crew soon?"

"No, I asked for you yesterday, and Lin Ying'er said she wasn't going. She said she needed to practice her survival skills when she goes back this month, and she couldn't afford to lose too badly."

“…”

"What about Emperor Gu?"

"Oh, him. He said he also booked a jungle survival coaching course, and the course is estimated to be a month long, so he won't show up. Oh, even I didn't expect that my survival show would have such a charm~"

Director Zhang boasted about this in the group, which immediately aroused the public outrage of the other directors in the group. They all started to expose Director Zhang's shortcomings, bringing up all the trivial things in "Survival on Deserted Island" and saying:

"Nonsense! It wasn't you, the director, who turned the show 'Desert Island Survival' around. It was the sisters of those three top world figures. They must have attracted a lot of traffic, right?"

"That's right, if that girl hadn't saved your show, you would have been in debt and crying in front of us."

"It's all thanks to my good luck that I met such a precious girl." Director Zhang was incredibly thick-skinned. How could the directors' verbal attacks hurt him? But when it came to Yu Yu, Director Zhang remembered something and couldn't help but @ Director Jia, "Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you. I gave your business card to the girl on my show. If she comes to your place, please take care of her."

"How was the show?"

"I don't know. All I know is that his jungle hunting and culinary skills are both masterful. Oh, and he's pretty good-looking, too."

"..." Damn, he doesn't know what the show is like, but he's still cramming people into his crew. Don't he know he already has a lot of troublesome actors? And what about his jungle hunting survival skills and masterful cooking skills? He's filming a movie here, not surviving on a deserted island!

Director Jia had the urge to pull Director Zhang over and give him a good beating, but even though he cursed him in his heart, he and Zhang were old friends with a revolutionary friendship, and he knew what kind of person he was. If someone pushed someone to him in such an unreliable way, it must be because he liked that girl very much and wanted to help her.

Well, if it looks good, it's not hopeless. It can be used as a vase.

"What's her name? That girl, I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to keep up with the outside world."

"Yu Yu, that girl's name is Yu Yu."

"Yu Yu...?" Why does it seem like I've heard this name somewhere before? I remember a girl called him this morning and she said something about fish or something. He was in a bad mood at the time and hung up without even hearing clearly.

But at this moment, Director Jia had no time to investigate further, because the third group had already reached the audition part. Once Aunt Lin left with the same excuse, the audition began.

After Aunt Lin finished her set lines with impressive acting skills, one of the palace maids suddenly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said in a crisp voice, "Your Majesty, would you like a change of tea? I heard that this year's Maojian tea is quite good. How about I change it for you?"

Oh, that's interesting. At least the palace maids' etiquette and speech were correct.

Director Jia also had some impression of this palace maid. She was a bit of a celebrity. It seemed that her last role was also a costume drama, in which she played a favored palace maid beside the imperial concubine.

But the young emperor did not react to this question. He just flipped through the book and said without looking up, "No need."

The palace maid was not disappointed. She just walked forward quickly, rolled up her sleeves, and took the initiative to grind ink for the emperor. This action made the other palace maids feel a deep sense of crisis. They immediately followed suit and surrounded the emperor, looking for things to do, trying their best to attract the attention of the male protagonist.

Fortunately, the actions performed by the palace maids this time were all within the scope of the plot and in line with the settings of the palace maids. Occasionally, a few of them crossed the line, but it was not too excessive.

But apart from the first palace maid who made the young emperor raise his head, none of the other palace maids could make him raise his head again. Moreover, at a glance, that palace maid was the most outstanding and conspicuous among the crowd, like a crane standing out among chickens.

This immediately prompted the assistant director beside Director Jia to speak up. "Director Jia, what do you think of that girl? Although her performance on the court was outstanding, with good acting skills and looks, there's something wrong..."

"That's not right. If I only wanted a senior maid, I would have chosen that girl. But the third maid is definitely not her. The young emperor would not be attracted to such a maid. To be more serious, he might even feel a little disgusted. But because this person was sent by the regent, he can't just kick her out. That's why the young emperor remained silent and didn't respond."

"No wonder I always felt something was amiss. It turns out it's right here. Director Jia, what are you looking at, Director Jia, Director Jia?"

"I was wondering why Aunt Lin hasn't left yet."

Aunt Lin hadn't left yet? How could that be? Wasn't Aunt Lin supposed to leave after bringing the person over and delivering the set lines?

The assistant director subconsciously followed Director Jia's gaze and sure enough, he saw Aunt Lin who had not left yet. No, to be precise, it was not that Aunt Lin had not left, but someone was preventing her from leaving. There was a palace maid who looked very timid, who was nervously pulling Aunt Lin and asking something in a low voice.

By the time Director Jia and the others noticed the commotion, the timid maid seemed to have finished her questioning. The moment she turned around, Director Jia immediately recognized her. Wasn't this the girl who had stalked the set and made him so choked up that he couldn't breathe? She had also tricked him out of the script... Wait, a script?

Speaking of which, although the girl looked soft and cute, she was definitely not a timid person. This was known from the moment she entered the set. She was more aggressive than anyone else in his crew.

So why was she acting so timid now? And after questioning Aunt Lin for quite a while, she just stood there quietly, motionless.

Why don't you move now? Otherwise, why are you holding Aunt Lin and not letting her leave? It must be said that Director Jia's curiosity was immediately piqued. Perhaps he felt a little bit vindictive. He wanted to see what that guy was going to do.

Fortunately, the girl didn't really stand there motionless. After about two or three minutes, she walked forward quietly and nervously, took the teacup on the table carefully, replaced it with new tea, and then went back to wait.

Tsk, nothing much? It looked like she was just doing the same moves as the others. Director Jia couldn't help but shake his head. After watching for a while and seeing that the girl didn't make any moves, he decided to turn his attention to someone else.

But at this moment, the girl started to move again, walked over quietly, and then... did the same action as a few minutes ago, replaced the tea on the table with a new cup, and stood back up.

Next, the girl really came and went, repeatedly changing the teacups one after another. Although she was very quiet every time, as if she was afraid of disturbing the emperor who was reading, but as she did it more often, it naturally attracted the attention of others. Not only did the people outside the venue notice it, but even the young emperor who was flipping through the book noticed it.

He tried to hold it back, but he couldn't help it. When the little girl came to change the water for who knows how many times, the young emperor couldn't hold it back any longer and pressed her wrist. "What are you doing..."

However, the young emperor's move frightened the girl. The girl's hand trembled, and she lost her grip on the cup, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The tea almost spilled all over the young emperor.

Suddenly, the little palace maid's eyes suddenly turned red, and she apologized for a long time, revealing a panicked face like a little rabbit, looking so pitiful. Finally, she couldn't help but timidly asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how much is this teacup worth? Can my three months' salary be enough to cover it..."

Three months' wages... The young emperor looked at the shattered teacup on the ground, paused, and then said, "Your entire year's wages have been deducted, so I guess it's only worth a cup lid."

Such a fact dealt a huge blow to the young palace maiden, and she immediately became depressed. With red eyes, she replaced the cup of tea for the young emperor, cleaned up the residue on the ground, and then went to wait aside again. However, at this moment, she was so depressed that she seemed to be about to explode.

The young emperor began to flip through his book again, but at this moment, his attention couldn't help but drift to the side. After a while, when the little palace maid came to change the tea again, the young emperor finally couldn't help but speak again, "Are you short of money? There is no shortage of food and drink in the palace, and the monthly allowance is not of much use."

"Well, I'm short of money. My mother is sick and it costs a lot of money, but I never thought..."

If you are not careful, the medical expenses will be gone.

The young emperor was silent again, but this time, he took the fresh tea brought by the young palace maid, moistened his throat, and after a while, he slowly said, "How about you stay and work for me? The tea is good, and I can offer you a higher monthly salary."

Wait, you stay... Doesn't this mean leaving the person behind? And the end of this scene audition is to make the young emperor say something like "leave the person behind to serve."

Sure enough, the next moment, there was a "click" sound of the board, and it was announced that the final audition was over.

"But this result... Director Jia, is this acceptable? This palace maid number three is very different from our initial hunch..."

However, Director Jia did not respond immediately. Of course, he understood what the assistant director meant.

Because in this big IP drama, the original author did not actually describe in detail the process of the young emperor and the little palace maid's first acquaintance. He only described the young emperor's impression of the little palace maid as a lovely person like a fairy.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. There is nothing wrong with the original author's description of the young emperor's first love in words, but it is not so good when put on the big screen. In order to perfect the script, this scene needs to be performed.

The young emperor was not an ordinary person. He served as a puppet emperor for thirty years, and his reign lasted only forty-five years. It can be seen that he was not an ordinary emperor.

Therefore, in Director Jia's original conception, the character should be beautiful enough, charming enough, beautiful enough to make the young emperor lose his mind, so that the young emperor would look at her differently.

But then I thought about it, it didn't seem right, because later in the plot, the young emperor also took the most beautiful woman in the capital into the palace, but it didn't take long for this most beautiful woman to fall out of favor. This point contradicts Director Jia's inference.

It is precisely because of this that Director Jia is so troubled by this supporting role. To be honest, he probably doesn't even know what kind of role he wants.

But that girl couldn't play the role of a young palace maid; she was too timid and obedient. Director Jia repeatedly argued in his mind, repeatedly refutating the role.

However, the natural and harmonious atmosphere between the little palace maid and the young emperor just now made Director Jia hesitate.

He was very sure that the leading actor's acting had not failed, as he had thoroughly understood the puppet emperor's personality at different times. But why would the puppet emperor look at such a cautious and timid girl in a different light?

After racking his brains for a while, Director Jia finally couldn't help but asked the male lead to come over and asked him what he was thinking at the time. Why was it that little palace maid and not someone else?

Speaking of this, the male protagonist who played the young emperor couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He touched his nose and said in a squeaky voice after a long time:

"Well, to be honest, I don't know the specific circumstances at the time. I just did it subconsciously. But then I think about it, Director Jia, maybe the person who attracted the puppet emperor really is someone like that little palace maid. There are so many people around the puppet emperor who are stronger than him and suppress him. He has long built up walls in his heart. But don't you think that little palace maid is not only reassuring, but also a little cute?"

"And... Director Jia, that little palace maid wasn't a coward. Her first reaction after dropping the teacup was to worry about her monthly allowance, not her life. This kind of cowardice is more than just 'cowardice.'"

Indeed, this statement was not wrong, and with this inference, it seemed that the role of the third palace maid became more vivid. Suddenly, it seemed to understand why the puppet emperor missed his first love even more after successfully seizing power. He missed not only his first love, but also the days when he could live happily like an ordinary person.

With this thought, Director Jia felt relieved. The result was almost set. But before announcing the result, Director Jia still had two questions to ask. Thinking of this, he called Yu Yu, who had just removed her makeup, over to him. After staring at her for a long time, he asked with a fierce face:

"Two questions. First, why did you want to read the script? I remember this audition had nothing to do with the content of the script. Second, what did you ask Aunt Lin during your audition?"

"Oh, you're asking that, Director Jia." Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. "To be honest, I haven't had much experience in acting, and when I was suddenly asked to act, I had no idea how to act. I just remembered my second brother muttering, 'What kind of crazy director lets people audition without giving them background information?' So I thought I'd look through the script and maybe understand the background, and that's exactly what happened."

"..." Director Jia suddenly felt that he was also being called "brain-sick" and couldn't help but twitch his lips, but still opened the script again.

The appendix of the script has the background interpretation of the important characters. The third palace maid is the first love of the puppet emperor and her background is actually similar to that of many palace maids. She is a concubine raised by a small official of a certain party. Because he was reluctant to let his own daughter enter the palace as a maid and he was daydreaming about it, he let the concubine enter the palace as a maid.

The reason why Palace Maid No. 3 agreed to enter the palace was to save her mother who fell ill due to doing too much farm work and embroidery.

"To save her mother, who fell ill from excessive farm work and embroidery, this character's life was likely quite difficult. Not only was she poor, but she was likely living in a remote village. In other words, she'd never seen the world, so she was cautious when entering the palace."

"So during the audition, you pulled Aunt Lin aside to ask questions? Well, that's true... For a maid who has never seen the world and is entering the palace for the first time, it's inevitable that she would ask about some taboos and precautions."

"No... that's not the case..." Yu Yu's face became even more embarrassed at this point. "I hadn't thought of this when I pulled Aunt Lin aside to question her. But after I went on stage, I suddenly realized I didn't know what the palace maids usually did. So Aunt Lin told me that the emperor doesn't like to be disturbed when he's reading, but the tea still needs to be changed. It can't be too hot or too cold, and it's best to change it every few minutes."

“…”

"So... you just wait by the side and go up to change the tea every few minutes?"

"Well, yes."

"...So what about your reaction after breaking the teacup? Why was the monthly allowance the first thing that came to mind?"

"Because... that teacup looks really expensive. It hurts me just looking at it. And it hurts even more to think that the little palace maid can't even afford to compensate me..."

"..." What kind of answer is this? Isn't this all just a coincidence?! Director Jia felt like he was going crazy. He had the urge to crack open the person's head to see what was inside. "Could it be that even the overturned teacup was a coincidence?"

To be honest, Director Jia had already given up hope for an answer, but at this moment, he received an unexpected answer. He only heard the other party say:

"Oh, that, of course not. I knocked over the teacup on purpose, and I knew the emperor would notice my action. Isn't that what we do every day? Repeating the same thing will always be noticed, so I shortened the interval between changing the tea."

Just to make the young emperor notice his existence more quickly and send out a signal actively.

Suddenly, Director Jia's body trembled slightly. He stared at Yu Yu's face and suddenly couldn't say a word. He didn't know how long it took before he slowly found his voice.

"This role is yours, girl. I seem to have underestimated you. Although we only have about a week to shoot, I still hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. By the way, girl, what's your name?"

"Oh, Yu Yu, my name is Yu Yu."

Oh, so this girl's name is Yu Yu... Wait, Yu Yu? Why does this name sound so familiar? Isn't this the person that Lao Zhang asked him to take care of just now?

"Yes." Yu Yu nodded and answered Director Jia's question, "Actually, I called you this morning. You told me to come straight over, so I came."

"..."That's because he didn't know that Lao Zhang had given his business card to someone else without telling him in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged things for Yu Yu like this.

However, judging by the results so far, it seems to be pretty good.

The author has something to say: Promote my friend’s article~

"My Mom Became the Overlord's White Moonlight" meaning:

Luo Jia transmigrated into a novel with Bai Yueguang as the stand-in heroine, and became Bai Yueguang's stand-in. She was also the vicious female supporting character in the novel, and would end up dying tragically if she competed with Bai Yueguang for the position of the domineering CEO.

Luo Jia did not fight or compete. He just walked through the plot before Bai Yueguang came back and waited to leave to save his life.

On the day Bai Yueguang returned to China, the domineering president took Luo Jia to pick her up at the airport. Luo Jia was surprised to find that the domineering president Bai Yueguang looked exactly like her mother when she was young, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was inexplicably kind.

Then Bai Yueguang ignored the domineering boss who was expecting her to run towards him, and walked straight to Luo Jia, as if she had found a long-lost relative. With tears in her eyes, she said: My daughter, mom finally found you, call me mom!

Luo Jia: ...Oh my god.

After a while, Luo Jia went to school and met the villain in the plot who hated her and targeted her everywhere because of Bai Yueguang.

The villain stared at her sternly and said: Girl, I am your father!

Luo Jia: This world has gone crazy...

**

Many people know that Luo Jia is just a stand-in for the domineering boss Bai Yueguang when Bai Yueguang transferred to their school.

They were waiting to see the show, Luo Jia would definitely be badly tortured by Bai Yueguang.

As a result, they saw Bai Yueguang affectionately holding the confused Luo Jia, and said with a distressed mother: My daughter, you study so hard and you are thin. Mom uses the old hens raised at home to make hen soup for you to nourish your body. Seeing you so thin, mom is so distressed!

Everyone: ???
