"Is this your natural hair color?"
Zhang Yingyuan finally set his eyes on Su Yin.
"Yeah," Su Yin nodded: "I inherited it from my father."
"Which company are you from?" Zhang Yingyuan seemed to have only Su Yin in his eyes, and didn't care about anyone else at all.
At this time, Ling Hu quietly pulled the others aside and explained:
"Director Zhang is just like that. He only talks to actors he's interested in. Of course, if he doesn't value you, that doesn't mean anything."
Luo Chen didn't care. He thought he probably didn't leave a good impression on Director Zhang.
The other three were relieved. After all, to be fair, Su Yin was indeed the most beautiful among them.
"Does Director Zhang have any new work?" Tang Yue asked curiously.
"I don't know either," Ling Hu shrugged. "I do know Director Zhang bought a novel last year and planned to film it, but the role for that movie had already been decided. He just asked if I knew any beautiful actresses, preferably new faces. I thought about it and thought you guys were probably new faces, so I introduced him."
"Then why did you introduce me just now?" Luo Chen immediately asked back.
"You're such a nitpicker!" Ling Hu tutted. "Who knows if Director Zhang might be looking for another handsome actor?"
Lin Xuan'er ignored the bickering and turned to Wang Xingrui and Tang Yue, saying, "Doesn't that mean Little Su has a chance of starring in Director Zhang's films? I just did some research, and this director is quite impressive. While he's not very well-known in China, he has a lot of fans abroad, and his films often win awards."
"Our little Su is going to be rich!" Tang Yue said happily: "I must tell Brother Yang about this good news later and make him happy."
Su Yin chatted with Director Zhang for nearly half an hour before finally walking back with a blank expression.
When Director Zhang left, he kept his head down and didn't show any sign of sadness or joy.
Wang Xingrui looked at Su Yin's expression and felt something was wrong: "What's wrong? Did someone scold you?"
"I was just kidding you!"
Su Yin suddenly laughed: "Director Zhang asked me to film a movie!"
"Just make a movie," Tang Yun complained, "making a movie always feels like *****."
"Tangtang, what are you thinking about?" Su Yin poked her forehead with her hand. "It's not a big movie, just a short film. It seems that Director Zhang wants to participate in some kind of competition and shoot a ten-minute short film with a mobile phone. Then he wanted to find an actress that no one is familiar with. After talking to me, he thought I was good."
"I'm not trying to discourage you," Tang Yue asked again, "but you've only been talking for less than half an hour and you've already made the decision. It feels so hasty. Xiao Xiao Su, you didn't agree to any bad requests, did you?"
"Really not!" Su Yin snorted. "Director Zhang said he chooses actors based on personal chemistry. The first time he saw me, he thought I was perfect for the female lead. Then he asked me for Brother Yang's phone number, and Brother Yang would make the decision for me when the time comes."
"That's good." Lin Xuan'er breathed a sigh of relief. Like Tang Yue, she was also worried that Su Yin had been deceived. After all, such a huge pie falling from the sky seemed a bit incredible. "But we still have to congratulate little Su."
"Yes," Wang Xingrui gave Su Yin a hug: "You are now a famous director and the leading lady. You have ascended to heaven!"
"It's just a short film," Su Yin waved her hand. "Besides, I'm submitting it for a competition. Maybe no one in China will pay attention to it! But I still have to thank Brother Hu."
When Ling Hu heard Su Yin's words, he smiled and said, "No need to thank me, you got this opportunity yourself."
Everyone chatted for a while before going their separate ways.
The next day, Zhou Yiyang went to meet Director Zhang.
"You must be Su Yin's boss." Zhang Yingyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boss was so young.
"Yeah." Zhou Yiyang handed the menu to the other party: "I've seen all of Director Zhang's movies. They are indeed works of art. I didn't expect Director Zhang to take a fancy to our Xiao Su."
"It's normal for me to be attracted by her face. Mr. Zhou, isn't this the reason why you signed her?" Zhang Yingyuan said casually.
Zhou Yiyang felt a little uncomfortable with this statement, but he had to admit it was true. Su Yin's face was too advantageous. Even in the most discerning film industry, such facial features would still be considered top-notch.
"This is the cover that our Xiao Su has shot. Besides being pretty, her face also tells a story."
Zhang Yingyuan took a look and nodded slightly. "She's really good. It seems I was wrong. In that case, let's sign the contract. She won't lose out by being my leading lady. If she wins an award, you can also publish a press release praising her acting skills. This way, she'll have more leeway to accept scripts in the future."
"Director Zhang, you are quite skilled." Zhou Yiyang joked and began to look at the other party's contract.
"My movies are rarely shown in China. Even if they are, the box office is very low. My movies are certainly not made for the box office, so they are made for awards!" Zhang Yingyuan said self-deprecatingly.
"They might win awards, it's because their acting is really good." Zhou Yiyang was sure there was no trap in the contract, even though the pay was negligible. But as Zhang Yingyuan himself said, making his movies wasn't just about the money.
"I'm not very skilled," Zhang Yingyuan said as he took the tea from the waiter. "But I do have some confidence in training actors. Some actors, on the other hand, think they've suddenly become enlightened, but when they go back to film other movies, their true colors are revealed."
"I understand. Our Xiao Su is not that kind of ignorant person." Zhou Yiyang knew who Zhang Yingyuan was implying.
