Chapter 111 Talented Actors Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 8) Acting skills...
Acting skills are indeed useful. Lin You now has a physical body and has been given an identity. It's hard to predict what the future holds. It's always good to learn more skills.
Just as she finished thinking that, she suddenly realized that these were the words those people had used to persuade her to study.
This must be because it's been forced into a conditioned reflex.
Lin You looked at Song Yu, who had an innocent look on her face, and chuckled, "Studying isn't a bad thing, but studying alone is too boring. Little Song Yu, keep me company! I'll teach you how to catch ghosts, and you can teach me how to act. We can help each other out, isn't that great!"
Upon hearing about catching ghosts, Song Yu couldn't help but flinch, but instead of shaking her head in refusal, she grabbed Lin You's sleeve and asked pitifully, "You'll come with me, right?"
Lin You nodded, then realized that this guy seemed to be trying to trick her.
She looked at Song Yu suspiciously. The boy still had that obedient look, with clear, bright eyes that looked like a little white rabbit.
But if she were truly an innocent naiveté, how could she have thrived and achieved such success in the entertainment industry?
Lin You shook her head and chuckled. Because when she first met Song Yu, he seemed so weak and pitiful when he was afraid of ghosts, she seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of him.
Being timid has little to do with intelligence; this guy's cunning is probably disproportionate to his appearance.
Since it's a well-planned plan, there's no need for Lin You to worry too much. She stood up and went back to the next room to sleep.
She's been in this world for a day and a night and hasn't closed her eyes yet. She just glanced at herself in the mirror and it seems she has dark circles under her eyes.
After a peaceful night, Director Yu woke everyone up early the next morning to get to work, filming some morning scenery of the small town and taking some time to have the guests play a little game in the mountains.
After the assistant brought back breakfast, all the filming was over. Everyone ate their farewell dinner and then went home.
Everyone was quite surprised, but Director Yu, who usually only knew how to scold people, praised all the guests, saying things like they had team spirit, good cooperation, hard work and courage, and quick thinking.
Anyway, you guys were all amazing! That's why the filming went so smoothly and we were able to finish early. But don't worry, everyone will get their paychecks, and you can all take a break now and then... blah blah blah...
These words sounded so grand and righteous, but even Fang Hao, who was all brawn and no brains, didn't believe them, let alone Song Yu who knew the truth.
But in the entertainment industry, all sorts of unexpected things can happen. Who knows where things went wrong? Anyway, they finished filming smoothly, and that's enough.
Song Yu's assistant was assigned by the work group; he himself did not have any personal staff. After all, his salary was just enough to support himself and his younger brother, and he simply could not afford a personal assistant.
After returning to Song Yu's city, Lin You took the subway with him, then a bus, and walked for more than ten minutes before finally arriving back at the small apartment assigned by the company.
During this time, Song Yu only wore a mask and a baseball cap, disguising himself very casually, and was not worried at all about being recognized.
Lin You looked at the so-called small apartment in front of her. It was really only a tiny bit big, about ten square meters, and it even had a bathroom, a kitchen and a small living room.
The sofa in the living room is the folding type, which can be unfolded into a single bed, probably where Song Xia stayed when she came over.
"You still cook for yourself?" Lin You didn't know how to comment on the house, so she looked at the kitchen, which clearly showed signs of use, and changed the subject.
"It's more convenient to eat by myself, and it also saves money. My salary is just average, and I still need to save money to buy a house."
Song Yu made no attempt to hide her financial difficulties. She opened the small refrigerator, took out a bottle of purified water, and asked Lin You, "Grandma, what would you like to drink?"
Lin You glanced at the rows of bottled water in the refrigerator. What could she choose? The brand of bottled water?
Looking at the few eggs and two wilted greens, she gained a deeper understanding of Song Yu's economic situation.
Even so, the child transferred every penny of the hard-earned money that Director Yu gave her.
Seeing that she had been staring into the refrigerator for a while without saying anything, Song Yu finally realized what was going on and explained, "I need to manage my figure, so I can only drink spring water. You can order whatever you want to drink directly from the delivery station."
"No, the mineral water is fine, this will do." Lin You casually grabbed a bottle of water and checked the local housing prices on her phone.
In the internet age, many things have become much more convenient. For example, Lin You only needed ten minutes to find out that the generous fee Director Yu gave her was only enough to make a down payment on the small apartment Song Yu lived in.
These house prices are outrageous; no wonder Song Yu had to be frugal.
Fortunately, she can still choose to rent a house. There is a small apartment with a similar layout for rent across from Song Yu's house, but it says that a guarantor from an employee of Qunxing Entertainment is required.
Hmm, Song Yu seems to work for this entertainment company, isn't that perfect?
Song Yu could indeed help her guarantee renting a house, but he felt there was something wrong with it. He looked at Lin You for a while before asking, "Grandma, isn't this information from the internal network of Qunxing? How did you find it?"
"Huh? Oh, that's just using some basic skills from the system." Lin You readily admitted to the fact that he had cheated.
Song Yu felt like she had really brought back a great-aunt. "This is rental information for Qunxing Entertainment. It requires more than just a guarantee. I'll handle this."
Lin You saw him take out his phone and call his agent directly. Since Song Yu was sitting next to him making the call, Lin You could hear him repeatedly emphasizing and assuring her.
"...She's a young girl, but she's definitely not my girlfriend... She's my great-aunt, my dad's aunt, the kind who's on the same household register... Don't worry, Brother Wen, I'm absolutely not dating..."
Song Yu made many promises in a gentle and polite manner, and even sent the other party a video of her household registration book. She was almost ready to say that she would do a paternity test with Lin You before the other party finally relented and agreed.
After he hung up the phone, Lin You couldn't help but complain, "Your manager is quite strict."
It was even stricter than when she was in high school, when the dean of students was cracking down on early romantic relationships.
"Brother Wen is a good person. Although he handles everything strictly by the book, he doesn't require us to attend any messy drinking parties or ask us to deliberately create hype for others. As long as we complete the tasks diligently and don't cause any trouble, he's actually very easy to talk to."
Song Yu's agent, Wen Yi, was very efficient. He came to her door in person shortly afterward, bringing over the key to the apartment across the hall, and also checked the household registration booklet again.
Seeing Lin You's identity as the head of household and the confirmed parent-child relationship, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and then gave Song Yu some instructions:
"Your filming ended early this time, so take a few days to rest. Then go back to the company to continue learning acting skills. That's the foundation of being an actor. Study hard, and I've already started looking for your next script. I'll pick one with a well-developed character..."
This agent is indeed quite good. He is serious and responsible in his work. Even though Song Yu is an unknown actor, he still asked him about and gave him instructions on all aspects. He is just too talkative. He has been talking for more than half an hour and shows no sign of stopping.
Seeing that his mouth was dry from talking, Lin You took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator next to him and handed it to him. Wen Yi took it without thinking and then realized that there were other people around.
He glanced at Lin You, who gave him a polite but courteous smile, and Wen Yi instantly lost the urge to continue.
He always felt that this old lady was implying that he talked too much.
Wen Yi nodded to Lin You, then took his leave. Before leaving, he reminded Song Yu, "Don't drink too much ice water, it'll hurt your stomach."
This person is truly meticulous in taking care of everything.
The house next door is fully furnished, so Lin You can move in right away after buying bed sheets and blankets on her phone.
Song Yu helped out by cleaning the furniture and windows, and also helped her buy a few outfits. Mobile shopping is so convenient; everything was delivered to her door in just over an hour within the same city.
The thoughtful aunt also bought a lot of low-calorie fruits and vegetables for Song Yu. Even without buying a house, Lin You's savings were still quite substantial.
Song Yu didn't know how to explain that although he couldn't afford to buy a house, he could still afford to eat.
He simply emptied the refrigerator to avoid wasting food because he was going out to film a variety show; he wasn't being frugal.
However, it feels quite nice to be taken care of like this, so I'll refrain from explaining to her for now that my finances aren't that tight.
"Tracing the Footsteps" is a highly anticipated variety show. The fact that the filming took several days was quickly discovered by netizens, who then urged the post-production team to hurry up and finish the work.
This matter spread quite a bit online and was quickly known by those who were interested. Then, Song Yu, who hadn't even had a few days to rest, received a new script from her agent.
"This is a production by a big director. Although it's only the fourth male lead, the character is very likable. If it weren't for Young Master Gu feeling bad about taking your role, this resource would never have come to us."
Wen Yi's eyes were filled with joy. He had read the entire script and believed it would definitely become a classic. If Song Yu could play the role well, she would surely become a minor celebrity.
"That was also thanks to Brother Wen's hard work in getting it for me. Otherwise, someone like Young Master Gu wouldn't care about such trivial matters."
Song Yu looked at Wen Yi with gratitude in her eyes, and then diligently cut a fruit platter for him and took the snacks that Lin You had left there.
Seeing Wen Yi's probing gaze, he hurriedly explained, "The snacks belong to my great-aunt. Don't worry, Brother Wen, I definitely won't eat them. But this time when I join the crew, I plan to bring her along as my assistant."
"Your assistant's salary is related to your income. If you have no objections, just give me her information later."
Wen Yi inquired about Lin You's situation in detail and learned that she was Grandpa Song's younger sister, a daughter born late in life, and more than ten years younger than Song's father.
Because of a moment of carelessness, she was abducted by human traffickers and was only found recently. Now, only he and his younger brother are left in the Song family, so they transferred this great-aunt's household registration to their place.
Because Lin You was of a higher generation, the title of head of household fell to her. To prove that what she said was true, Song Yu even showed Wen Yi their paternity test.
Of course, all of this was arranged by the main system. Even the paternity test results were printed out by Lin You from the main system.
If someone were to investigate, they could find the case file of Lin You's abduction and the record of her being found.
Wen Yi finally understood why Song Yu changed her household registration book and was completely relieved. After all, he had seen the previous household registration book, and there was no such aunt named Lin You back then.
After Wen Yi left, Song Yu looked at the table where he had just taken the snacks. The table was empty before, but in the blink of an eye, a person suddenly appeared next to it.
It was Lin You who had immediately disappeared after hearing Wen Yi knock on the door.
At first, Song Yu was startled when she suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared, but anyone would get used to being startled three times a day.
Song Yu calmly handed her another bunch of snacks before waving the script in his hand. "Our ghost-catching training will probably have to be postponed for a while. I need to study the script carefully, since I also need to take care of the main quest."
Lin You glanced at the script, then grabbed a bag of jerky and started munching on it, replying, "It's alright, your chance to put your skills into practice will probably come soon."
