Chapter 2 The National Film Emperor's Girlfriend is a Black-and-Red Actress 2
"Brother Ji, have you rested enough? It's your turn to film." The assistant, wearing black-rimmed glasses, handed Ji Huaizhi a bottle of water.
Ji Huaizhi took it and stood up: "Oh, right."
The assistant looked completely bewildered.
"How's that girl from yesterday's event doing?" Ji Huaizhi asked.
"She..." the assistant said truthfully, "I called a car for her afterwards. Nothing happened. You know how this industry is; it's the norm to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak."
Ji Huaizhi: "She's so beautiful, how come I've never heard of her?"
The assistant was puzzled. Brother Ji never asked about these things. Could it be that he was bewitched by that face yesterday?
“She’s quite famous.” Seeing that the director and his team were waiting, the assistant quickly said, “Brother Ji, you go ahead and film. I’ll talk to you about it when I have time.”
"Teacher Ji, come here. I need to talk to you about the last few scenes..." The director politely called Ji Huaizhi over.
Ji Huaizhi's film is a war movie, and his scenes are about to wrap up.
The original owner loved acting and didn't care whether he was the lead or not, as long as the script was good and the role suited him.
This is also why he has a good reputation in this industry.
"I... have fallen, but behind me are millions of people."
"Cough cough... You can't kill them all."
"Haha... Hahaha."
The man was hanging in mid-air, his eyes filled with the determination to face death. Just then, a gentle breeze blew, and his eyes revealed an unwavering conviction.
"Kill them!"
"Bang!"
When Ji Huaizhi was put down, everyone applauded.
Congratulations, Teacher Ji, on successfully wrapping up filming!
Ji Huaizhi smiled faintly and whispered a thank you.
Someone pushed a cake forward, and others offered flowers.
The assistant tactfully accepted the flowers: "Teacher Ji has prepared drinks, fruits, and snacks in advance and placed them in the rest area. Please remember to go and have some."
Ji Huaizhi glanced at his assistant; he was really useful.
"Thank you, Teacher Ji."
"Thank you, Teacher Ji. Congratulations on wrapping up filming!"
The filming wasn't finished yet when the director came over to talk to Ji Huaizhi: "Your scenes are always filmed the fastest. Do you have any upcoming schedules? Lao Li asked me to ask if you'd like to make a cameo appearance?"
"No, I'm going to rest for a bit."
The director nodded: "Okay, one of his actresses had an accident, so her scenes have to be reshot. Luckily, it hasn't aired yet."
"Otherwise... heh heh."
Ji Huaizhi was taken aback: "Actress?"
What role?
Director: "Do you have any recommendations?"
"You have to tell me first, and I'll see if it's suitable."
"She's the fourth female lead, and like in your show, she's a character who dies young."
"I saw one at an event yesterday." Ji Huaizhi turned to his assistant, "Chen Fei, what was that woman's name yesterday?"
The assistant didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
Countless faces flashed through my mind, finally settling on that cold and stunningly beautiful face: "Lin Meiyin."
The director looked puzzled: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Seeing his serious expression, she raised an eyebrow and understood: "I understand, I'll mention it to Lao Li."
After saying that, she patted him on the shoulder, gave him a knowing look, and left: "I won't see you off."
They all know Lin Meiyin; none of the many beautiful actresses are even half as pretty as her.
The reputation is a bit tarnished, but who knows what's real and what's fake in this industry?
Assistant Chen Fei took out another bottle of water, opened it, and asked incredulously, "Teacher Ji? Are you introducing resources to Lin Meiyin?"
"I just think it's a pity that her face isn't famous."
Ji Huaizhi said calmly.
But Chen Fei looked like he was constipated: "This Teacher Lin isn't just unknown; she's incredibly famous."
Lin Meiyin was standing in the reception hall of Xingyao Entertainment Company when her agent, Feng Can, entered in a suit, his eyes filled with annoyance.
"I called you here today to have you on a variety show called 'Treasure Countryside.' Your main role will be to highlight our company's rising star, Xue Wanwan."
"She's going to be paired up with another male celebrity, Cao Yu, and you have to stick to him all the time. To put it simply, you have to be Cao Yu's lapdog."
Even if he rejects you or gives you the cold shoulder, you should still try to please him.
Lin Meiyin closed her alluring eyes.
Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, it's like this again.
Use her to pave the way for others.
Feng Can looked at his fingernails and blew on them lightly: "If you're not willing, you can go to General Manager Huang's office to plead for you. Don't forget the contract you signed with Xingyao."
"So many penalties for breach of contract, even if you dismantle every part of it, you still can't afford to pay them."
Lin Meiyin: "I understand. I'll head back now if there's nothing else."
"Wait a minute." Feng Can called out to her, "I heard that when you attended the event yesterday, Actor Ji gave you some clothes?"
"Are you looking for a backer?"
He leaned back in his chair, causing it to rock back slightly. "But you've got the wrong person. Actor Ji has been in the industry for so long, have you seen him have any scandals with anyone?"
Lin Meiyin stared coldly at her, anger gleaming in her eyes: "Ha, who can I rely on now that I'm in this state?"
Feng Can turned his head to meet her cold gaze.
"You'd better not make me get up."
Feng Can pursed her lips.
It has to be said that if Lin Meiyin were properly trained, she would definitely become Xingyao's signature player.
Unfortunately, she caught the eye of Boss Huang.
He remained silent.
Lin Meiyin will have a hard time getting ahead.
What a waste of that face!
As Ji Huaizhi was practicing calligraphy at home in casual clothes, the phone rang. He frowned and answered; it was the original owner's agent.
"I heard from Chen Fei that you've been paying close attention to Lin Meiyin lately?"
Ji Huaizhi put down his brush: "You called me to talk about this?"
"What do you think? You liked the variety show 'Treasure Countryside' on Weibo, and now it's causing quite a stir on Weibo." The agent seemed to sigh.
"Tell me what you're thinking so I can prepare myself mentally."
