Chapter 29

“Song Yuqi, I’m going to meet a director in a while, help me choose an outfit.”

“Formal is fine, casual is fine too.”

Lin Yu said with a sincere face.

“Ah! I thought it was...”

“Hmm, okay.”

“I’ll help you look.”

Hearing this, Song Song Yuqi’s mood plummeted to the bottom.

It was like going from the Flaming Mountain to the Arctic Circle in an instant.

Her tone was also hard to hide her disappointment.

[Song Song Yuqi’s resentment increased by 10%]

[Song Song Yuqi’s current resentment is 10%]

Looking at the small axe lighting up on Song Song Yuqi’s head, Lin Yu was also stunned.

Then he immediately recalled what had just happened.

He understood in a second!

Is the level of a male bestie already not rejected?

But the matter at hand was meeting Director Ning Hao. As for other things, let’s wait until the favorability reaches over eighty percent!

This opportunity was very important, and Lin Yu didn’t want to be a variety show star who relied on his looks.

Even with fan support, without works, he would always be criticized!

After choosing the outfit, Song Song Yuqi also stated her purpose.

“Didn’t I enter the *Running Man* chat group yesterday?”

Lin Yu scratched his head. Sure enough, the WeChat group invitations were smoking from all the requests.

More than a dozen had been sent!

“I’ll join the group right now, Song Yuqi, you can just make a voice call.”

“You don’t have to go to such trouble?”

Lin Yu felt embarrassed and quickly clicked to join the group.

“Look for yourself! Do I have your WeChat?”

Song Song Yuqi rolled her eyes and scolded him.

After changing his outfit and having a simple breakfast,

Lin Yu arrived at the coffee shop near the hotel as promised.

At a glance, he recognized Ning Hao, who was wearing a baseball cap but still couldn’t hide his large forehead.

Ning Hao was all in black, a black short-sleeved shirt and black sports pants. His eyes were very spirited, his nose bridge was straight, and he belonged to the type that was intimidating without being angry, and one look showed he was the type who didn’t like nonsense.

“Hello, Lin Yu, I’m Ning Hao.”

Ning Hao didn’t have any airs. He shook hands, touched and left, without a word of small talk or nonsense.

“Director Ning Hao, hello.”

Lin Yu nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The two of them were as crisp and decisive as spies on the street.

This made Ning Hao look at Lin Yu carefully.

“Script.”

“*No More Bets*.”

“Need a traffic star to play a young coder who was scammed into Myanmar.”

“Interested?”

Ning Hao’s two sentences were straightforward.

This was also Ning Hao’s consistent style: if there’s chemistry and interest, we cooperate; if not, don’t waste each other’s time.

Currently, Lin Yu’s performance was quite satisfactory to Ning Hao.

*No More Bets*.

Damn!

So it was this movie?!

Lin Yu remembered that the response to this film before its domestic release was very large, mainly because it fit the reality of the overseas situation.

And this character of his, wasn’t it the role played by Zhang Zhang Yixing?

The netizens’ teasing was still fresh in his memory.

Zhang Zhang Yixing: The director said this movie was an action movie, but he didn’t say I was the one being beaten!

Lin Yu shook his head silently; this role clearly didn’t fit his strength.

“Director Ning.”

“I want to play this scam leader!”

Lin Yu pointed to the role originally played by Wang Chuanjun and said in a condensed voice.

Ning Hao: ??!

..................................................................................................................PS: Bosses! If you have flowers or tickets on hand, please reward them. Support us, thank you very much!

Lin Yu knew that only by securing a challenging role like this scam ringleader could he truly prove himself.

"Waiter, bring an iced Americano."

"Lin Yu, what will you have?"

Ning Hao beckoned behind him and called over a waiter.

"The same."

"Iced Americano."

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"Lin Yu, I’ve seen your performance on the variety show *Keep Running*. I have to say, your variety sense is full and very eye-catching. Whether that persona was researched by you or crafted by your company, I can say the details are very well-rounded."

Ning Hao was very straightforward and spoke his mind.

This was already his limit; if it were anyone else, he wouldn't have said so much.

Primarily, Ning Hao had his eye on the traffic Lin Yu brought, and the benefits it would bring for future fan-base promotion.

"Director Ning Hao, you mean I’m not suitable for the role of the scam ringleader, right?"

Lin Yu smiled, instantly guessing Ning Hao’s thoughts, and spoke directly.

If he were the director and a twenty-year-old young man sat across from him saying he wanted to take the lead in a movie, he would probably think it was wishful thinking too.

"That’s right! When I was your age, I don’t mind telling you, I was still repairing bicycles for people."

"Heh."

Ning Hao laughed at himself.

The implication was very clear: do what is appropriate for your age! I’m looking for you for the traffic; as for changing roles, don't even think about it.

"Makes sense."

"Waiter, do you have paper and a pen?"

Lin Yu beckoned, smiling.

The young man’s sunny aura was very infectious.

This only made Ning Hao sneer inwardly: with such a naive young man, what right does he have?

What right does he have to play such a ruthless character?

*Scratch, scratch, scratch.*

Lin Yu said nothing, simply writing a few words on the paper.

"Director Ning Hao, don't open it yet, keep it safe."

Lin Yu politely handed over the folded paper and said leisurely.

"What is this?"

Ning Hao frowned. He hated artists like Lin Yu who played mysterious; they really thought they were something special, not realizing that in others' eyes, they were just little brothers. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
