Chapter 11: Could this be a case of letting a wolf into the house?
Lin Yu was surprised to see that Bai Lu had chosen a room opposite his own.
It seems this is definitely not a coincidence.
Moreover, Bai Lu, as the second female lead, is also an artist under Yu Zheng's company.
The overall room service was much better than what he, a new actor and the third male lead, received.
Normally, he would share a standard room with other actors, but now he's living in a single room.
It seems that Bai Lu must have spoken up for herself quite a bit to Yu Zheng.
Lin Yu carried his luggage into the room.
The room was decent, with air conditioning, a TV, and a private bathroom.
There was even a large bed inside the room, two meters wide.
It's such a waste that only one person is sleeping here.
Lin Yu is even scheduled to give a speech at the opening ceremony tomorrow.
This was something Lin Yu hadn't expected.
It seems Brother Li must have done a lot of work to smooth things over; this is a great opportunity for him to show his face.
The next morning at eight o'clock, Lin Yu arrived at the hotel's film crew dressing room.
The opening ceremony was at 10:00 AM, so the actors needed to get their makeup done beforehand.
In order to generate buzz for the drama, the main actors still had to wear full makeup at the opening ceremony.
Lin Yu arrived so early because there's a queue for makeup too.
Moreover, the makeup for period costumes takes longer.
If he, as the third male lead, arrives late, he'll probably have to wait a long time.
If there isn't enough time and the makeup artist rushes through the job and ends up disfiguring him, it would be a real loss.
Lin Yu had just entered the dressing room when he heard a familiar voice.
"Over here, Brother Lin Yu!"
Lin Yu looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out to be Wang Xiuli, who did Lin Yu's makeup during the last audition.
"Teacher Wang, I didn't expect you to be on set too?" Lin Yu greeted him with some surprise.
"I've been following Teacher Yu's crew all along. I never expected you to actually pass the audition. Congratulations!" Wang Xiuli said while preparing for Lin Yu.
"This is all thanks to Teacher Wang's makeup that day; the teachers at the audition were all stunned!" Lin Yu said modestly.
"That's all because you're good-looking, Lin Yu. It's a pity that you've successfully entered the entertainment industry, which is a shame for all the rich women and bosses in Kyoto!" Wang Xiuli couldn't help but sigh.
"Teacher Wang, right now I only have my career on my mind. By the way, how are things going with you, Wang Gang, and Li Lijuan?" Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly. Wang Xiuli was really going on and on, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Our problems are resolved, and now the three of us are living a good life together!" Wang Xiuli said with happiness in her eyes.
"Congratulations, Teacher Wang!"
Lin Yu was stunned after hearing the whole thing.
Just who is this Wang Gang?
Is this a woman who's attractive to both men and women?
He'll definitely have to see for himself someday!
But he should be safe now, at least Wang Xiuli won't try anything with him.
"Don't worry, little brother, sit down quickly. Today I will definitely make you look incredibly handsome, outshining all the main actors!" Wang Xiuli said while constantly fixing Lin Yu's makeup.
Thirty minutes later.
Lin Yu and Gu Huan's makeup was also done.
Wang Xiuli truly lived up to her professional reputation; her makeup, combined with Lin Yu's refined demeanor, made him appear as if he had stepped out of a book from ancient times.
After Lin Yu changed his clothes, he ran into Bai Lu at the door.
At this moment, Bai Lu had already changed out of Huo Xuan's general's attire.
She circled around Lin Yu, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Lin Yu asked Bai Lu curiously.
"Your demeanor seems even better than on the day of the audition; your refined elegance is practically overflowing!" Bai Lu said enviously.
"It's probably thanks to the makeup artist!" Lin Yu said, offering a convenient excuse.
He can't exactly say that his improvement came from working closely with Meng Ziyi, can he?
"Maybe, let's go to the waiting room for the opening ceremony together. After all, the dressing room is too messy!" Bai Lu frowned as she looked at the environment the makeup artists were in.
So the two of them went to the waiting room together.
As soon as Lin Yu entered the waiting room, another notification appeared in his mind.
[Actress Wu Jinyan detected. Is she linked?]
Lin Yu looked up at that moment.
Not far away, Wu Jinyan, dressed in theatrical costume, was sitting on the sofa, looking bored.
She wore a deep blue, wide-sleeved gown, with a gold-embroidered cloak covered in auspicious cloud patterns, exuding elegance and nobility.
She wore a tall black topknot adorned with a gilded peacock headdress, which made her look dignified and majestic.
Wu Jinyan plays Empress Dowager Feng in this TV series, but her role is not very large.
"No binding!" Lin Yu directly rejected the system's request.
After all, he wasn't that hungry.
This is a woman who dares to stand up to the Sixth Princess.
He's someone you wouldn't dare mess with.
However, the outcome wasn't good; he was indeed banned from speaking.
Lin Yu just doesn't get Wu Jinyan's beauty.
He really had no idea how she became famous after appearing in "Story of Yanxi Palace".
Wu Jinyan also noticed Lin Yu and Bai Lu.
"Sister Jin Yan, I didn't expect you to arrive so early!" Bai Lu greeted Wu Jin Yan as well.
"I had nothing to do in my room, so I went to the dressing room early. And who is this?" Wu Jinyan asked, looking at Lin Yu.
She was also attracted by Lin Yu's refined and elegant demeanor.
"This is Lin Yu, who plays Gu Huan in the drama and acts opposite me! This is Wu Jinyan, who is also an artist in our company!" Bai Lu hurriedly introduced them.
She was, of course, also asserting her dominance: this is her official love interest in the drama, so don't even think about it.
"Hello, Teacher Wu!" Lin Yu greeted him proactively.
"Hello!" Wu Jinyan greeted Lin Yu as well.
"Is this Lin Yu, whom you often mention and can't forget?" Wu Jinyan asked Bai Lu with a smile.
"What are you saying, Sister Jin Yan? I didn't say that!" Bai Lu blushed slightly when she heard Wu Jin Yan say that.
"I heard from Bai Lu that you're also from Beijing Film Academy. We're alumni! I graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 09!" Wu Jinyan continued.
"So it's Senior Wu! I'll need Senior Wu's guidance on the set later!" Lin Yu said modestly.
Sometimes it's better to avoid offending people on set.
When some people try to trip you up behind your back, you really can't guard against them.
"You're too kind, junior. We can learn from each other if we have the chance!" Wu Jinyan said with a smile, indeed, chatting with young people is really refreshing.
Especially these incredibly handsome young men.
When filming, why don't we go find this junior to practice our scenes together?
But at this moment, Bai Lu felt something was off about the way Wu Jinyan looked at her.
Isn't she letting a wolf into her house?
Lin Yu is her official partner.
Sister Jinyan, you mustn't make a move on him.
"Lin Yu, let's sit down over there and wait a while!" Bai Lu said, pulling Lin Yu to sit on the sofa some distance away from Wu Jinyan.
There are quite a few beautiful women in this film crew, so she'd better keep a close eye on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had just sat down when the notification appeared in his mind again.
