Jindoudou: [Dear friends~ I'm going to see Yiyi later~~~]
Gao Junyi's wife: [Are we going to Tianyao Building? Woohoo, I want to go too! Damn, I have class today!]
Yiyi's wife fan data group: [So jealous! Doudou, please take more handsome pictures of our Yiyi! I can use them as screensavers! There are so many trainees, but our Yiyi gets so few shots!]
Gao Junyi, you're holding my hair down: [I'm so tired of saying I'm envious... Doudou, remember to post a repo later! We'll definitely like and repost it!]
In the Ferrari, Jin Doudou closed her phone with satisfaction. The rearview mirror reflected her youthful face, her skin so tender you could pinch water out of it.
Jin Doudou smoothed her pink-dyed hair and put on some simple makeup in front of the rearview mirror.
After a while, the phone rang.
Jin Doudou's eyes lit up when he saw the three words displayed.
"Sister Yanyan!"
"The security guard just said he saw your car, but why hasn't he seen you yet?" Lu Yanyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll come up after I have breakfast!" Jin Doudou smiled slyly, "Sister Yanyan, has the audition started yet?"
"It's almost there, hurry up."
Jin Doudou nodded heavily, but realized that Lu Yanyan couldn't see it, so he replied "Yeah".
At the same time as the phone was hung up, a nanny car drove in front of me. It seemed to come out of the underground garage of Tianyao Building and slowly stopped at a temporary parking spot on the side of the road.
No one got out of the car, but when Jin Doudou saw the familiar license plate, he immediately realized whose car it was.
The phone lights up again.
Xu Fei: [Ms. Jin, Junyi has arrived.]
Jin Doudou's face turned red, and she was a little at a loss. She put her pink hair behind her ears and got out of the car nervously.
Xu Fei noticed Jin Doudou appear, got out of the car immediately and opened the nanny car door.
When Jin Doudou looked up, he saw Gao Junyi's face, as gentle as the breeze, sitting in the nanny car. He was reciting the lines of the script in a low voice. When he heard the door open, he slowly raised his head.
He smiled, a warm smile.
"Hello, Doudou~"
At that moment, Jin Doudou felt like he was shot by Cupid's arrow, and his heart melted!
How can there be such a handsome and good-looking boy in the world! Wow, Gao Junyi is the best-looking boy!
Xu Fei noticed that Jin Doudou was stunned, with love flowing in his eyes. He raised a smug smile and coughed lightly, "Junyi, I'll go get your salad. You two can chat slowly."
Gao Junyi's voice was still gentle, "Okay."
He looked at Jin Doudou and said, "Doudou, aren't you getting in the car? There are a lot of fans here, and I'm afraid they'll squeeze over and hurt you."
Jin Doudou just came back to her senses from Gao Junyi's smile, said "oh oh" twice embarrassedly, and quickly got into Gao Junyi's nanny car.
The driver had left, the car door closed, and the small space suddenly became very ambiguous.
Jin Doudou looked at Gao Junyi's face very closely, and could even see the eye shadow smudged at the corners of his eyes, his pink lips, and his dark blue hair. Her heart was pounding.
"Doudou, thank you so much for the necklace last time," Gao Junyi said softly, "This is the first time in my life that someone has given me such a valuable gift."
"Necklace?" Jin Doudou blinked, trying to recall for a moment, then smiled. "Oh, it's just a necklace, only a few hundred thousand. It's nothing! As long as you like it!"
Gao Junyi's heart skipped a beat.
She says hundreds of thousands are nothing, she's really a rich woman!
"I like it very much," Gao Junyi said sincerely. He smiled faintly, his eyes a little watery. "Before, in the training camp, I saw other trainees... They were wearing all kinds of beautiful accessories, limited edition brand-name shoes, and even brand-name bags... I was so envious at the time, but now I'm fine. I also have the necklace you gave me. I'm not inferior to them!"
Jin Doudou gradually came to her senses, taking in Gao Junyi's attire. Aside from the necklace she'd given him, he wore no other accessories. His clothes were likely company-prepared, ordinary brands, and his shoes... were they even knockoffs? As for the bag in the back of the nanny car, it was even more ordinary, just a few-hundred-dollar sports bag.
There was nothing valuable on Gao Junyi's body except the necklace given by Jin Doudou.
Jin Doudou suddenly felt sad.
How could her Yiyi not have what others have!
"Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll buy these for you when I get back!" Jin Doudou said loudly, "If others have them, you must have them too!"
"No, no!" Gao Junyi gently refused, reaching out to touch Jin Doudou's hair. "Doudou, you spent so much money voting for me. I just wanted to thank you today. Just do what you can. You don't have to spend money on me... Besides, the trainees who can really debut all have backers, with tens of millions of dollars invested. I don't want you to waste your money..."
"How can this be considered a waste!" Jin Doudou said anxiously, a hint of nervousness in his eyes. "We like you, so of course we want to help you debut! Those investors can push their favorites to debut positions, so why can't I? Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll go to the fan club to raise funds when I get back, and this time I will definitely let you debut!"
"And there's the matter of clothes and shoes!" Jin Doudou added, "Tell me what style you like and I'll buy it for you! I'm very familiar with those luxury brands and can get them quickly!"
Gao Junyi listened to Jin Doudou's answer, thanked her modestly on the surface, but felt extremely proud in his heart.
It’s so nice to have an ATM! I can get brand-name jewelry and clothes, and even debut positions!
The only drawback is that Jin Doudou looks too ordinary. If she was prettier... their relationship could be even better!
But the little girl was naive and didn't think about it that way, so Gao Junyi didn't want to "sell himself" anymore.
After solving the two current problems, Gao Junyi felt that his meeting with Jin Doudou was almost over. They took a photo together, and Gao Junyi also signed all the dozen or so photos he brought for her.
While signing autographs, Gao Junyi didn't forget to compliment Jin Doudou, "Doudou, Brother Fei said you're very familiar with the top management of Tianyao, and you were the one who introduced me to this audition. I almost forgot to say thank you!"
"That's nothing!" Jin Doudou excitedly held up the photo signed by Gao Junyi. "My dad is also involved in the drama I'm auditioning for today, so your role is definitely secured!"
"I really don't know how to thank you!" Gao Junyi looked at Jin Doudou with gratitude, tears sparkling in his eyes. "Doudou, it's great to meet you!"
Jin Doudou looked at Gao Junyi's moist eyes and felt her heart pounding again. His eyes were so deep and beautiful... How could anyone in this world not like her Yiyi? Yiyi was the best boy in the world!
Xu Fei came back with a salad, the door of the nanny car opened, and Jin Doudou and Gao Junyi said goodbye.
"By the way, Brother Fei, why don't you park the car in the underground garage?" Jin Doudou looked around, his tone barely concealing his disdain. "There are so many people coming and going here. It would be bad if our fans saw us!"
Gao Junyi and Xu Fei looked at each other, a hint of unnaturalness flashed in their eyes.
Xu Fei gave a wry smile and explained, "We just went to the underground garage and looked around, but couldn't find a parking space."
“Is that so?”
Jin Doudou suddenly understood. She knew that Tianyao's underground parking garage was divided into two sections: one for Tianyao's celebrities and senior executives, where there were always empty spaces; and the other for outsiders and company employees.
There are quite a few actors coming to audition today. In addition to the TV series "Song of Falling Flowers" that Gao Junyi is auditioning for, Tianyao also has two other movies auditioning. It is normal that the parking spaces in the basement are full for a while.
Jin Doudou didn't intend to investigate further and waved to Gao Junyi again. Just as she turned to leave, she heard the driver mutter, "What do you mean there's no parking space? We clearly found a parking space, but Lin Cha and the others grabbed it first!"
"Lin Cha?" Jin Doudou remembered this name. She seemed to be the female artist who participated in "Leisure Life" with Sister Yanyan.
"Old Zhou, what are you talking about!" Gao Junyi's face changed slightly as he scolded the driver. He lowered his voice, his voice trembling, and said a little aggrievedly, "Sister Cha... She's our senior, so of course we have to give her that parking space. We can park outside, too."
Xu Fei sighed, "Yeah, Lao Zhou, Yiyi is a newcomer, so it's normal for her to suffer some losses. Don't say such nonsense in the future."
The driver nodded obediently and said no more.
"What do you mean it's normal for newcomers to suffer losses?!" Jin Doudou suddenly turned around and walked back to the nanny car, frowning, "Brother Fei, does Yiyi often suffer losses like this?"
Xu Fei glanced at Gao Junyi with a look of pity, then he lowered his head guiltily, "Miss Jin, there's nothing we can do. Lin Cha and the others are from Xinghui, which is a big company! Pengcheng is just a small company, and Yiyi is a newcomer. Situations like this are inevitable... It's okay, just bear with it, it will pass. It's just a parking space, not a big deal."
Jin Doudou was furious.
How could it not be a big deal if her Yiyi was wronged?! What the hell is this Lin Cha?
Jindoudou remembers that Lin Cha once seemed to have taken advantage of Chenzui's popularity? Oh, she even had a CP with Kai! She's definitely not a good person!
"Miss Jin, if there's nothing else, I'll take Yiyi upstairs for the audition." Xu Fei looked at his watch. "It's getting late. If I don't go upstairs now, I'll be late."
"Yeah, yeah!" Jin Doudou suppressed his resentment, made room for her, and forced an encouraging smile on his face, "Yiyi! Good luck in the audition!"
Gao Junyi also looked at Jin Doudou gently, "Yes, I will!"
"So what did Cui Yali do?"
In the Tianyao Entertainment dressing room, Lu Yanyan sat at the dressing table, playing with her makeup brushes. "I remember that day when she told your dad the truth, he was so scared that his face turned pale. I thought this thing was definitely going to fail! Who could have imagined that in such a sudden turn of events, your dad would actually invest in a film and television drama for her!"
Jiang Mingkai was also sitting in front of the dressing table. The makeup artist was putting makeup on him and styling his hair. Even though the makeup was very delicate, Jiang Mingkai's eyes revealed a bit of depression.
"My dad didn't tell me..."
"But last night he called my brother and me home and introduced Cui Yali... He told us to call her 'Auntie' from now on."
When Jiang Mingkai mentioned the word "Auntie", the corners of his mouth twitched. He always felt that these two words were difficult to say.
"Auntie? Hahaha! He must have thought that you and Jiang Mingrui didn't know the truth!" Lu Yanyan was so amused that she bent forward and backward and her stomach hurt. "But with your brother's methods, he couldn't have been unaware of it! He must have wanted to break up your dad and Cui Yali because he knew Cui Yali's identity! Now that this has happened, I wonder what his expression will be when he faces Cui Yali!"
Lu Yanyan found it particularly interesting when she thought about Iceberg Face being humiliated.
Jiang Mingkai didn't dare to speak when he thought of Jiang Mingrui's face last night, which was darker than the bottom of a pot!
If a "stepmother" hadn't suddenly come home last night, he would have asked Jiang Mingrui about the inflatable doll! But because Cui Yali was there, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"That's the situation!" Jiang Mingkai spread his hands and sighed helplessly, "My dad thinks Cui Yali will be fine this time, thanks to you, so he invested this 100 million. Cui Yali and I will both be in the film. Oh, right, have you contacted Lin Cha? She also contributed to this."
"Of course! Without her, we wouldn't be able to handle Zhang Qiang!" Lu Yanyan rubbed her belly, which hurt from laughing, and stuffed her makeup brushes into her makeup bag. "I'm going to make her the heroine this time. Is that okay with you?"
"As long as she can pass the audition, I have no objection." Jiang Mingkai read the script and felt that Lin Cha had great acting skills and could portray the feeling of a reborn princess who was in charge of the overall situation in "Song of Fallen Flowers".
"Brother Kai, it's done." The makeup artist set Jiang Mingkai's makeup, then gently scratched his hair.
"Sorry to trouble you." Jiang Mingkai said politely.
——The makeup artist has followed Jiang Mingkai for many years and has heard a lot of gossip from his conversations with others, but she never leaked it to anyone, so Jiang Mingkai and Lu Yanyan are very confident in her.
Jiang Mingkai stood up and shook off the non-existent dust on his body. "I'm going to audition first. Smack smack... Who would have thought that I would have to audition for my first role in a TV series invested by my dad!"
"That's the rule!" Lu Yanyan rolled up the script and almost threw it at the back of Jiang Mingkai's head. But then, remembering that he had done a pose, she threw it at his back instead, "Go!"
Jiang Mingkai left the dressing room.
He had just taken two steps when Jin Doudou slipped into the dressing room.
"Sister Yanyan! You are here!"
Jin Doudou walked forward and hugged Lu Yanyan affectionately, "I forgot to say, happy wedding!"
"It's just an engagement." Lu Yanyan corrected, "Your Gao Junyi hasn't started auditioning yet. You still have time to go see him."
Jin Doudou smiled slyly and did not admit that he had met Gao Junyi.
"Sister Yanyan, I heard Yiyi signed with Pengcheng. Why don't you sign him? He's so handsome! You'll definitely win if you sign him!"
"He's already signed?" Lu Yanyan couldn't hide her surprise. "I guess he realized his strength wouldn't allow him to get a debut spot, so he made the decision so quickly." Lu Yanyan shrugged. "It's not my fault. He's not strong enough. We at Tianyao only sign players who are in the debut spot."
"Nonsense! It's obviously your Economic Department that has no vision!" Jin Doudou insisted, "Our Yiyi is the best!"
Lu Yanyan remained silent.
She knows about filters. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Jin Doudou likes Gao Junyi, so of course Gao Junyi is the best.
But Jin Doudou has always been like this. Maybe he will like someone else after a while.
"Oh, by the way, Sister Yanyan," Jin Doudou suddenly remembered Gao Junyi's parking space being snatched downstairs, "Is there a female celebrity named Lin Cha coming to audition today?"
Lu Yanyan raised her eyes and asked, "Do you know Lin Cha?"
Jin Doudou grabbed Lu Yanyan's arm and said coquettishly, "I don't like this female star. Isn't she from Xinghui? You and Sun Qianqian's relationship isn't that good! Otherwise, pass Lin Cha! Don't let her pass the audition~"
Lu Yanyan narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a playful tone, "Why are you targeting Lin Cha so much? Do you have a grudge against her?"
"Yes, she's giving our Yiyi a hard time!" Jin Doudou stamped her feet in anger, her tone extremely unhappy. "She's just a near-A-list star with no works, and now she's acting like a big shot. She'll be so arrogant in the future! 'Song of Falling Flowers' is a female-led drama, so it's sure to give her a lot of bonuses. Someone like her shouldn't be given this opportunity!"
"Hmm..." Lu Yanyan thought for a moment, a sly look flashing in the corner of her eyes, "No."
"Sister Yanyan!" Jin Doudou grabbed Lu Yanyan's hand again.
Lu Yanyan shook off Jin Doudou's hand and said, "I'll be honest with you. If it weren't for Lin Cha, this project wouldn't have been possible. So if she was dismissed by the director because of her poor acting skills, that's fine. But you want me to dismiss her as a producer? Impossible."
"Is this project possible because of Lin Cha?" Jin Doudou frowned. Lin Cha was indeed a resourceful guy! No wonder he was so arrogant, even bullying Yi Yi!
Lu Yanyan said, "Almost. Not only me, but the Jiang family will also support her. You should stop thinking about it."
Jin Doudou pouted in anger. Lu Yanyan lightly scraped her nose with her knuckles. "By the way... are you sure that Lin Cha and that Gao Junyi... don't get along?"
"That's right!" Jin Doudou took the opportunity to speak up for Gao Junyi, "Our Yiyi is a newcomer, so pitiful!"
"Is that so!" Lu Yanyan said, "Then I advise you to stay away from Gao Junyi. Be careful of future setbacks!"
Jindoudou:?
"Sister Yanyan, look at what you're saying, are you talking like a human being?"
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Lu Yanyan said earnestly.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door, and Chen Xiaotao pushed open the door of the dressing room. "Mr. Lu, Lin Cha is here. It's her turn to audition."
"Okay! I'll go to the meeting room right away!" Lu Yanyan agreed, turning back to look at Jin Doudou. "Lin Cha never plays big shots. If you get the chance to be a guest on 'Leisure', you'll know what kind of person she is."
Jin Doudou curled her lips.
She didn't want to show her face on the show. Lin Cha must have drugged Sister Yanyan to make her speak for her! This scheming woman must have really made things difficult for Yiyi!
If I have the chance, I must kick her out of the crew!
Lu Yanyan rushed to the conference room to audition for Lin Cha. Although the investment for "Song of Fallen Flowers" was only secured at the last minute, Director Wei had been preparing for the script for a long time.
Lin Cha's audition went very smoothly.
"Song of Falling Flowers" is a drama focused on female protagonists, telling the story of Xiao Lening, the palace's least favored princess. She endures bullying from her adoptive mother and betrayal from her best friend, becoming a princess married to the Northern Di people and ultimately dying in exile. After her rebirth, Xiao Lening chooses to endure and remain dormant. Outwardly, she remains the delicate little princess of the palace, but in reality, she strategizes and secretly cultivates her power, eventually ascending to the throne and becoming a legendary empress.
When Director Wei read the script, she initially wanted to cast a mature actress with extensive acting experience, and a younger actress for the pre-rebirth scenes. But after seeing Lin Cha's performance, she realized someone could handle both the roles of a down-and-out princess and a domineering empress.
The investors unexpectedly managed to find a talented actor, which is simply a pie in the sky!
However, the other male actor who was inserted by the investors was really disappointing. Director Wei felt it was torture to watch him act for five minutes.
"Director Wei, this is Mr. Jin's guy..." the assistant explained. "Even if he can't play the supporting male role, he can be the male lead's swordsman. It doesn't require any acting skills or complicated lines, but he has a lot of screen time and a lot of appearances!"
Director Wei nodded, "Let's do it!"
Lu Yanyan suddenly pressed down the pen she was about to confirm, "If you can't perform well, then pass. No need to go through the back door. I'll talk to President Jin."
Director Wei's eyes brightened instantly.
This was not the first time she had worked with Lu Yanyan, but she didn't expect Lu Yanyan to be so easy to talk to this time!
In reality, Lu Yanyan felt she was a bit snobbish. However, between pleasing the investors and the possibility of the project falling apart due to a certain actor, she still cared more about her own project!
The male lead's henchman, a sword-wielding guard... He's usually in every scene the male lead has, so how many scenes would that take up? If Gao Junyi's role were to fail, how many scenes would have to be reshot? The entire show might even be ruined!
The other side
“I was passed?”
Gao Junyi couldn't believe it. This role was clearly given to him by Jin Doudou, and it was also invested by Jin Doudou's father. How could Director Wei not choose him!
"Not only that," Xu Fei frowned, "I just got the news that it was Mr. Lu who removed you! Director Wei originally wanted to give you the role of a guard!"
"Mr. Lu? Lu Yanyan?" Gao Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly realized, "She has a good relationship with Lin Cha. Could it be that she is trying to get me for Lin Cha's sake?"
"Of course!" Xu Fei said angrily, "This bitch is really doing something behind my back!"
Gao Junyi was furious, his handsome face turning grim. "Jin Doudou is just a rich second-generation kid, unlike Lu Yanyan, who's already the CEO of a major company! Tomorrow, the program team will open, and all the agencies can come in to sign people... Lu Yanyan already dislikes me because of Lin Cha. Do you think they'll do something secretly to prevent me from debuting?"
Xu Fei's heart tightened. "This matter of debuting...can't Jindoudou handle it?"
"She can't even get a role for me!" Gao Junyi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table. "We're just a fan and idol relationship. It's okay for her to spend a little money on me, but if it really requires tens of millions in voting, she can't come up with it! ... In the final analysis, our relationship isn't deep enough. She wouldn't do that for me!"
"Yeah, if it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, the Jin family will definitely help you a lot..." Xu Fei said in a faint tone, thinking for a moment, and glanced at Gao Junyi vaguely, "How about you try with her? She likes you so much, if you become a boyfriend or girlfriend, she will definitely be willing to give a lot for you!"
"But her face... looks too ordinary! Her figure is too flat, nothing at all!" Gao Junyi said with disdain, "She's obviously quite rich, why doesn't she get plastic surgery?"
"Hey, turn off the lights, all women are the same!" Xu Fei persuaded, "For your future, it's okay to make a little sacrifice!"
Gao Junyi was still very reluctant, but when he thought about the role he had been eliminated, he got angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Fei, please help me make an appointment with Jin Doudou!"
