Chapter 3961: A Perfect Match (157)
The assistant director looked extremely worried. “We’ve been hunting high and low and have not found anyone suitable!”
Liang Yin stood aside, feeling bored. She studied the passing crowds. On average, one in five people was a big star. She was fascinated. Usually, there was no such opportunity. The closest she could get to these celebrities would be watching them on television. But here at the studio city, any other person walking around was a celebrity.
Liang Yin was already used to it, unlike the first day when she was surrounded by them and felt a little uneasy. Now, having celebrities around felt normal to her. She felt that these people were just good at acting. Although they were beautiful, they were actually no different from ordinary people. Especially after spending time with Hua Jin, she realized that celebrities were also ordinary people. It was just entertainment that gave them the glorified status of idols.
After chatting for a bit with the assistant director, Hua Jin turned around and called out to Liang Yin. “Liang Yin! Let’s go!”
Liang Yin turned around, nodded, and walked towards the actor.
When the assistant director saw Liang Yin beside Hua Jin, his eyes lit up!
“Who is this, Hua Jin?”
“Oh…” The actor introduced, “My assistant.”
“Is your assistant that beautiful? I remember you had a different assistant before!”
“You mean Xiaoqi?” The actor bristled at the mention of Xiaoqi. Currently, the girl was undertaking advanced training at the company headquarters. When she returned, he would find a chance to fire her.
…
Hua Jin was a man who bore grudges. Especially after seeing Xiaoqi’s ugly side, he was determined to fire her when he had the chance. However, the assistant director was seriously sizing up Liang Yin. His eyes were filled with admiration as he praised her from time to time. “Your assistant has the makings of a celebrity! What’s her name?”
Liang Yin smiled and introduced herself naturally. “Liang Yin.”
“Liang Yin… Hmm, that’s a good name!”
The assistant director smiled and asked Liang Yin, “Do you… want to come for the audition? There’s a role that needs to be filled in the production. I was just getting worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a suitable candidate!”
“I…” Liang Yin was surprised to be invited to the audition.
Hua Jin was a little surprised too, but he’d just been thinking that since an opportunity had come up, Liang Yin might as well give it a try. After all, she had a good image and good acting skills. She was considered gifted.
Initially he had intended to ask Liang Yin for her opinion over the meal. Unexpectedly, the assistant director spotted her right away and issued an invitation.
Hua Jin too, thought that Liang Yin could try.
“Would you be willing to?” Because he was Hua Jin’s assistant, the assistant director was mindful and polite.
Liang Yin glanced at the actor as if seeking his opinion.
Hua Jin immediately said, “If you like, you could give it a try.”
“I’d like that.” Liang Yin smiled and said, “My pleasure.”
“Very well then!”
The assistant director nodded. “Tomorrow afternoon, come to the set with Hua Jin and read a few lines. If Director Gu says that there’s no problem, it’ll be considered a success!”
As the Kokakuchō character was not a big role, it was not too demanding in terms of the lines and acting skills. It mainly depended on the state and appearance of the character.
As the assistant director, he had sharp eyes. He felt that Liang Yin was a decent fit at a glance, so he had a reasonable amount of confidence in her and felt that she would pass Director Gu’s scrutiny.
