Yin Chengjue fell into deep thought.

If things develop this way, then regardless of whether he did it or not, Fengchengda will definitely suspect him.

No, it's just covering the pot directly.

In this case, it's hard to guarantee that Feng Chengda won't do other things that are detrimental to him because of his resentment.

"We need to be careful." Yin Chengjue rubbed his temples.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Linlin's book began to be adapted into a web series. Casting was in full swing, and the new song rankings for the debut of the brother had been arranged, and the classes had been divided accordingly.

Rong Yu's group's "Heartbeat" is undoubtedly number one, while Fei Zhengqi's group's "Boundless" is number two.

Mingqian was in Fei Zhengqi's group, so she naturally moved up two places, jumping from Class E to Class C, successfully avoiding being eliminated.

Yin Chengjue was not surprised by this. During this period, Ming Qian had almost become Fei Zhengqi's little shadow. In every episode of the show, as long as Fei Zhengqi was there, Ming Qian was there too, as if they had become inseparable twins.

The production team seems to have a knack for capturing online trends. Every time Fei Zhengqi and Ming Qian appear on screen, they use a filter filled with pink bubbles, causing Fei Qian's fans to scream with excitement and exclaim that the production team is too clever, with the official team leading the way in shipping them.

With such a filter, whenever it was their turn, these two's scenes were cut much more, as if their other teammates were just narrators.

This neglect of one aspect at the expense of another has greatly dissatisfied other fans of the same team, causing a stir online. However, they were countered by a joint effort from fans of both teams and CP (couple) fans.

The more they argue, the more traffic they get; it's hard for them not to become popular.

During the preparation for the second performance, the production team gave the trainees two days off, and Sally arranged for Rong Yu to audition with Qin Linlin.

As an investor, Yin Chengjue didn't actually have to go, but he thought that Rong Yu, who rarely gets two days off, would have to rush over for the audition and must be very tired. Regardless of whether Qin Linlin selected him or not, Yin Chengjue wanted to take Rong Yu out for a nice meal.

Let's consider this a way of bringing back the hot pot we had that day!

Yin Chengjue explained to himself.

Seeing Yin Chengjue approach, Qin Linlin narrowed her eyes warily: "Brother Yin, you wouldn't be thinking of breaking the promise we made back then, would you?"

Yin Chengjue flicked her forehead: "I'm a man of my word. It's entirely up to you who you choose. Even the director can't control you."

Director Chen: "..." Hey? Is it really okay for you to say that to my face?

Qin Linlin looked at Director Chen.

Director Chen: "..." Fine, they're all young masters and ladies, I can't afford to offend them, I'll just take the money and do the job. So Director Chen smiled and said, "Of course, this is Xiaolin's book, so it's naturally the most suitable person for her to find people."

Assistant Director Liu handed a booklet to Qin Linlin: "This is the list of people who signed up for auditions today. Linlin, take a look first."

Qin Linlin waved her hand: "Wait for people to arrive before looking at them."

Yin Chengjue glanced casually at the list and suddenly saw a familiar name. He then reached out and took the list in front of him.

“This…” Assistant Director Liu looked at Qin Linlin with a puzzled expression.

Qin Linlin also asked, "Brother Yin, did you see someone you know?"

Assistant Director Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Ah! I remember now, Huansheng Entertainment did send an artist here, I think her name is... Rong Yu?"

"Xiao Yu? Hmm... Xiao Yu's face is indeed very handsome..." Qin Linlin recalled for a moment, then immediately said seriously, "However, even if Xiao Yu comes, I won't go easy on him! I'm looking for acting skills!"

Yin Chengjue's eyes were not on Rong Yu, but fixed on two other words—Ming Qian.

Donghua Entertainment – ​​Mingqian.

Mingqian actually participated in this audition?

The copyrighted book that Qin Linlin sold to Huansheng is called "Blood Mist," a BL (Boys' Love) novel with a main plot of criminal investigation, divided into small units based on each case. The male protagonist has a dual personality, but he gets along well with the other personality and even develops feelings for it.

They solved one thrilling and bizarre case after another, and their feelings for each other deepened and grew stronger through these events. They were the most trusted partners and the most loyal lovers. They were destined to grow old together and die together, but they were also destined to never be able to embrace each other.

There are many characters in "Blood Mist", but there is only one protagonist, and the casting requirements are very high because the male lead needs to be able to switch between two different personalities flexibly.

Of course, with so many types of cosmetics available now, it's not impossible to differentiate two personalities through makeup. However, Qin Linlin still hopes to find a male lead whose character doesn't need to rely on makeup to create a distinct image.

Therefore, Qin Linlin's assessment method was very simple: she would specifically choose scenes from the story where the male lead's personality changed, and have the auditionees perform them.

The male protagonist, Wu Xiaoqing, is a gentle and kind-looking man who wears round glasses with gold-rimmed frames and often wears a blue jumpsuit with an apron over it. Because he loves to paint, he likes to stay in his studio and paint whenever he is not working on a project.

Therefore, the male lead must be good-looking and have a good physique, otherwise it would be difficult for him to look handsome and dashing on camera while wearing an apron covered in various colors and a blue work uniform.

Yin Chengjue sat next to Qin Linlin and looked at the first few auditionees. Qin Linlin's expression was not very satisfied, and her initial anticipation began to turn into boredom.

Director Chen and Assistant Director Liu kept glancing at Qin Linlin's expression, inwardly groaning.

Sigh, he was just a tool when he accompanied the young lady to the casting process!

There were a few handsome male actors who played the gentle main personality well, but when they switched to the alternate personality and recited those lines, they looked like they hadn't taken their meds. Their expressions were either too exaggerated or they were so cold that they seemed unable to let go of their idol image.

"Next," Qin Linlin said, resting her chin on one hand and twirling a pen in the other.

However, unlike the other auditionees, the male actor who had just finished his performance did not leave decisively. Instead, he asked, "Was there anything I did not do well enough? I really like this article and have studied Wu Xiaoqing's alternate personality for a long time. I think my performance was quite close to the character."

Qin Linlin raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. She felt that the actor in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember his name. She guessed that he had acted in some dramas.

Director Chen actually felt that the actor in front of him was the best performer so far, far better than the previous ones. If Qin Linlin hadn't been sitting there, he would have already put this actor on the shortlist.

Qin Linlin rested her chin on her hands and said, "I can tell you've done your research, but although Wu Xiaoye is somewhat cold, he's completely different from the domineering CEO type. The actors before you, while acting a bit neurotic, at least captured a bit of Wu Xiaoye's essence. But someone like you can only rely on smoky makeup to stand out."

Qin Linlin said, "Let me be honest with you. If we really can't find an actor who can freely portray these two personalities without makeup, I will definitely choose you because you are handsome enough. Even if you always have a stiff, expressionless acting style, many people will like you, want to watch you, and you will become popular. However, I have studied a little psychology, and I can tell that you are not the kind of person who is willing to wait until we have screened everyone before reluctantly choosing you."

Male actor: "..."

Qin Linlin gestured for them to continue: "So, I won't waste each other's time."

Director Chen thought to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!" He hadn't thought of it at first, but after Assistant Director Liu reminded him, he remembered that the actor in front of him had a big sugar daddy, otherwise he wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly.

However, the Qin family is quite powerful. Even if Qin Linlin really angers the actor in front of her, the sugar daddy might not be willing to quarrel with Qin Linlin for his sake.

Thinking of this, Director Chen suddenly felt relieved and realized that being a tool wasn't so bad.

The male actor seemed to feel humiliated by Qin Linlin, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. He said, "Fine, then I'll wait and see who you choose next."

The tone also implied that he would target whoever they elected.

Yin Chengjue frowned as he looked at him. What was wrong with this person?

Director Chen had no choice but to tell them about the fact that the male actor had a powerful backer.

"The second young master of the Qi family? Ha." Yin Chengjue sneered. In his previous life, when the Yin family declared bankruptcy, the Qi family was among those who kicked them when they were down.

"Who cares who's keeping him? Would he really go against me for a minor celebrity?" Qin Linlin waved her hand dismissively and said, "Call the next one."

“Next up is Rong Yu,” said Assistant Director Liu.

Yin Chengjue's spirits lifted instantly.

Qin Linlin also sat up straight with a smile: "It's Xiaoyu's turn. Come in quickly and let your older sister give you a good lesson."

Qin Linlin then turned to Yin Chengjue and said, "Don't worry, even if he doesn't act well, I won't laugh at him. After all, this is Xiaoyu's first audition~ Hehehe~ If the alternate personality Wu Xiaoye overacts, he might easily become a lunatic~ High energy warning ahead!"

Director Chen silently wiped his sweat. Well, even people he knew didn't go easy on him during auditions. With Miss Qin's requirements, it would probably take a month to find someone.

Director Chen looked at Yin Chengjue, wanting to know how Yin Chengjue would react to Qin Linlin's evaluation of his company's artists. He then saw that Yin Chengjue had already taken out his phone and started recording.

Miss Qin had just finished saying that this role was easy to portray as a psychopath when Young Master Yin immediately prepared to record it. Are you two devils?

"Drink!" Qin Linlin suddenly gasped.

Director Chen noticed Qin Linlin's strange expression and subconsciously followed her gaze.

Then he saw a man in a white shirt walk in.

The man wore a black bow tie around his long neck, but he casually loosened it slightly as he walked, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, revealing skin as smooth as mutton fat jade.

His lips were so red they looked like they could drip blood, and his dark eyes darted around under his eyelids as he glanced at them sideways, a slight smile playing on his lips.
