Chapter 8: Successful Audition, Reencounter with Bai Lu
Although somewhat reluctant.
However, Lin Yu still took out his phone and added Bai Lu on WeChat.
Who says girls can't take the initiative? Look at yourself before you say that.
After Bai Lu finished adding the materials, she quickly headed towards the audition room.
Lin Yu also came to the dressing room to remove her makeup, but fortunately, she didn't need Wang Xiuli to do it.
Otherwise, he was genuinely afraid that this Teacher Wang would actually find him a few male bosses.
After finishing his audition, Lin Yu went straight back to his rented apartment to wait for news.
In the audition room for "Phoenix Prisoner," after a day, all the actors have completed their final auditions.
"Let's discuss the character Huo Xuan first. Bai Lu's acting skills have completely exceeded my expectations. It's truly rare for an actress who isn't formally trained to deliver such performances. She's the one for Huo Xuan!"
Yu Zheng looked at the four people beside him and spoke directly.
It doesn't seem like they're asking for the opinions of four people.
It was more like announcing something.
The other three nodded.
They knew that the role of Huo Xuan was originally intended for Bai Lu.
Today is just a formality.
"Next up is the role of Gu Huan. He Fengtian and Lin Yu are the two candidates. Who do you prefer?" Yu Zheng asked the three of them directly.
"Teacher Yu, although He Fengtian is an artist from Huanyu Entertainment, I still think Lin Yu is more suitable for this role. Whether it's acting skills or overall makeup and styling, he is more in line with the original work." Li Huizhu directly expressed her opinion at this moment.
She was very satisfied with Lin Yu's performance today.
"I agree with Director Li. Lin Yu's performance and temperament are stronger than He Fengtian's. Moreover, he is a professionally trained actor and works for Enlight Media, so he is more suitable." Assistant director Deng Wei'en also gave his opinion at this moment.
"I think either of them is fine. After all, it's just a third male lead role. We should leave it to Teacher Yu." Luo Rujia cleverly passed the question to Yu Zheng.
"As you know, I always judge by merit, and I don't favor my own artists. I also feel that Lin Yu is more suitable for this role. Since everyone agrees, I had my assistant inform Lin Yu." Yu Zheng said with a righteous and stern expression.
He actually still wanted to use his own artist, He Fengtian.
However, Lin Yu's strength and performance were simply too outstanding.
Moreover, Lin Yu has a large company like Enlight Media behind him.
We still have to give them face.
After all, he was only the third male lead, so his impact on the overall drama wasn't significant.
After hearing this, Lee Hye-joo could only suppress her laughter.
After all, who values strength more than Yu Zheng?
The male lead, Song Weilong, the second male lead, Mi Re, the second female lead, Bai Lu, and the supporting female lead, Wu Jinyan, are all artists from Huanyu Entertainment.
They were all selected based on their abilities.
They were definitely not forced into the production crew.
However, Yu Zheng was relieved that he was able to cast Lin Yu as Gu Huan.
She really thought this young man was a perfect match; he was truly talented.
If I don't get elected.
She was genuinely a little disappointed.
Next, the four of them finalized the selection of the other actors.
The next morning, Lin Yu received a notification from the production team of "Phoenix Prisoner".
He passed his audition.
You can sign the contract at the location designated by the production team in the afternoon.
Lin Yu arrived at the scene and looked at the final script.
The character Gu Huan appeared in about twenty episodes.
The filming took only about half a month, and Lin Yu was paid 300,000 yuan!
Such a salary is already very good for a new actor.
This is likely due to the influence of Enlight Media.
The contract was fairly fair.
After all, Lin Yu had signed dozens, if not hundreds, of contracts in his previous life, so he was able to distinguish normal contracts.
Moreover, I have Enlight Media backing me, so I don't have to worry about being scammed.
Lin Yu signed the contract that same day, though it was still under his own name.
However, Lin Yu still felt a pang of heartache at the tax.
It seems I'll need to set up a personal studio later on, so that I can reduce the amount of tax deducted.
After the production team signed the contract, they directly transferred 100,000 yuan to Lin Yu's account.
Another 100,000 will be paid after the TV series starts filming, and the final 100,000 will be paid after Lin Yu's scenes are finished.
However, he was still very happy to have earned his first money through his own efforts after being reborn.
After all, it would have taken him a year to earn that much money in his previous life.
Lin Yu had just finished signing the contract and was about to leave the company when he was immediately stopped by a voice.
"Lin Yu, are you here to sign a contract today too?"
Lin Yu turned his head and saw that Bai Lu was walking towards him.
Her long, black hair was fluffy and natural, which made her look gentle and lively.
She was wearing a beige spaghetti strap dress.
The neckline and shoulder straps are decorated with delicate lace, and the skirt is light and soft, simple yet with a sweet and girlish feel.
She was jogging towards Lin Yu, her chest heaving as if she didn't care at all.
"How did you know?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"I'm an internal member of the company, you know!" Bai Lu said mysteriously.
"You passed the audition too?" Even though Lin Yu already knew the result, he still asked, feigning curiosity.
"Yes! We just signed the contract. I have to thank you for going over the scenes with me that day, otherwise I really wouldn't have been sure of myself. To thank you, I'll treat you to dinner tonight?" Bai Lu said excitedly to Lin Yu.
If Lin Yu hadn't spent half an hour rehearsing the scenes with her, her acting skills wouldn't have improved.
She really won't receive any praise from Yu Zheng and Li Huizhu.
Of course, she was even happier that Lin Yu had succeeded in his audition.
Later on, she was able to act opposite Lin Yu frequently on set.
"Okay! But don't cry if I order too much food!" Lin Yu said jokingly.
"I just received my payment, so please order whatever you like!" Bai Lu said, patting her chest.
Lin Yu said that, but in the end he still found a street food stall.
The two chatted while eating barbecue.
Lin Yu also learned about Bai Lu through chatting.
After all, Lin Yu had heard of Bai Lu in his previous life.
I only knew she was a celebrity; I didn't know much about her specifics.
"How old are you this year?" Lin Yu asked directly.
"Don't you know it's impolite to ask a girl's age? But I'll tell you since you helped me. I'm twenty-two this year! What about you?" Bai Lu asked Lin Yu.
"I'm twenty this year!" Lin Yu answered directly.
"You're two years younger than me, so I'll call you Little Brother Lin from now on?" Bai Lu said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to call you Sister Bai. I'll need your help when I'm on set and don't know anyone!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, you'll have something to drink!" Bai Lu said with a smile.
"Sister, are you drinking properly?" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.
"What are you thinking, little brother Lin! You're asking for a beating!" Bai Lu pretended to be angry and started playfully fighting with Lin Yu.
"Sister, please don't hit him anymore, or you'll hurt your little brother!" Lin Yu joked.
Bai Lu blushed even more after hearing this!
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
If a girl likes you, she'll love listening to you talk about international affairs.
If you don't like it!
Even if you're incredibly eloquent, she won't utter a single sound!
However, not far from where the two were eating, a pair of resentful eyes were watching this scene!
