Chapter 4

"Director Liang, it's me."

"I mentioned Zhou Jin, who wants to audition for the fourth male lead Ling Yue, just now. If possible, take care of him if you can. Even if he doesn't get the role of Ling Yue, give him another unimportant small supporting role."

"Mmm, okay."

After hanging up.

Yang Mi looked at the torn silk pajamas on the floor and smiled lightly.

"He really is young, with a lot of bull-like energy."

Zhou Jin left Yang Mi's residential area, found a print shop near the hotel he had booked, downloaded the audition clip for Senior Brother Ling Yue, and then returned to the hotel.

Zhou Jin held the two thin pages, his brow furrowing slightly.

These two scenes seem short, and the lines aren't dense, but to make them stand out, the test of acting skills is huge.

First scene:

Ling Yue appears to save Tu Su.

The difficulty of this scene lies in "aura" and "sense of proportion."

As the first disciple of Tianyong City, his appearance cannot just be a simple martial arts-style show-off; he must show urgency and worry for his junior brother's safety, while maintaining the stability and majesty of the chief disciple of a famous righteous sect.

A little more and it's easy to appear pretentious and greasy; a little less and it can't support the stunning highlight the role should have.

Second scene:

After Ling Yue becomes the sect leader, he must abandon his seven emotions and six desires to cultivate the Dao, cutting off his love; facing his beloved junior sister, he is both affectionate and restrained.

Facing his beloved junior sister, the state of loving but not being able to have, and having to let go for the sake of responsibility, is an extreme test of micro-expressions and eye acting.

If played too coldly, it will become a "poker face" without any emotion.

If the emotional fluctuation is too large, it violates the character's setting.

These two scenes are very difficult to play well.

However, fortunately, he has the Advanced Entry 【Heroic Spirit】, so playing the first scene should be no problem.

Over the next few days, Zhou Jin locked himself in the hotel and practiced these two audition clips repeatedly in front of the hotel mirror.

He also wrote a lot of insights and feelings about the role of Ling Yue.

The effect of this role far exceeded his expectations, and he already had the look of a great hero.

The morning of the audition.

Zhou Jin, in a simple white T-shirt and black trousers, arrived at the temporary conference room.

The hallway was crowded with thirty or forty auditioning actors.

He scanned the area and saw Chen Zihan, who played Hong Yu, but didn't see Chen Weiting.

The other actors at the scene were surprised to see Zhou Jin, who was 183cm tall with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a sunny, handsome appearance.

Where did this handsome guy come from?

How come I have no impression of him at all?

Zhou Jin nodded calmly to the actors who looked at him, then walked to a corner and lowered his head to flip through his notes.

Inside the crew's luxury suite.

Yang Mi was curled up on the sofa reading the script.

The neckline of her wine-red tight-fitting dress was slightly open, and a large area of snow-white skin and deep cleavage were faintly visible.

Her straight, beautiful legs, wrapped in ultra-thin black silk, were crossed, her jade feet in high heels, and her whole body exuded a ripe charm.

"Sister Mi, your complexion is too good today, so moist!" Opposite her, Reba, wearing a tight white knit sweater and a floral skirt, couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes involuntarily attracted to Yang Mi's slender waist and full curves.

Yang Mi waved her hand and said lazily: "Stop flattering me."

Reba leaned forward, her large, exotic-looking eyes carefully examining Yang Mi's face, and said in surprise: "Sister Mi, I'm not being polite, it's true! Your complexion is especially good today, your skin is simply white with a hint of red. Did you use some sky-high skincare products behind my back?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched her smooth and delicate cheeks.

Of course, she knew why her complexion was so good.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, high-intensity work and huge pressure had kept her in a state of mental tension.

Until she met Zhou Jin; last night's hearty "sparring" not only completely released her years of repression but also gave her unprecedented nourishment.

Thinking of Zhou Jin's perfect mermaid line, firm abdominal muscles, and that young body that seemed to never know fatigue, Yang Mi felt as if a feather was gently scratching her heart, causing an indescribable itch.

This little rascal came to audition today, so she could have a good "interaction" with him again!

Flashes of those crazy scenes from last night crossed her mind, and Yang Mi suddenly felt her legs go weak.

"What sky-high skincare products? I just slept better last night. Reba... I'm going to the bathroom, you stay here for a while."

Watching Yang Mi's hurried back, Reba stood up bored: "Then I'll just go to the audition site and take a look to see if there's any excitement."

"Go ahead, be careful."

She ran out of the room happily in her small leather shoes. Just as she ran to the corner of the conference room floor, she didn't notice the water stain on the ground, and her high heels slipped suddenly.

Reba let out a cry, her high heels slipped, and her whole body instantly lost balance, looking like she was about to fall.

At this critical moment, Zhou Jin, who was next to Reba, reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, taking advantage of the momentum to pull her into his arms.

This waist is really soft and boneless.

Zhou Jin sighed subconsciously in his heart.

He lowered his head, his gaze just meeting the shaken girl in his arms.

Although the girl in front of him was wearing slightly heavy stage makeup, it couldn't hide her stunning, exotic facial features.

A high nose bridge, large eyes as deep as an autumn pool, plus her youthful and graceful figure—she was definitely a top-tier beauty of the intense-feature type.

Even having seen all kinds of beauty filters in later generations, Zhou Jin had to admit that the young Reba was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

Just then, the familiar transparent light screen popped up in front of Zhou Jin again.

【Detected that the host has had intimate interaction with top-tier female star Reba, completing the hidden mission—Networking, rewarding a random Intermediate Entry.】

Zhou Jin was clearly stunned for a moment.

At this time, Reba had just debuted not long ago and was only playing bit parts in some dramas; she was lukewarm. Let alone top-tier, she was barely third-tier.

But the system judged her to be a top-tier female star!

"Sure enough..." Zhou Jin laughed secretly in his heart; his previous guess was completely correct. This brain-dead system not only treated him as his future self who had collapsed, but also locked everyone else's status in the future.

The future Reba is a well-deserved top-tier flower in the mainland entertainment industry!

【Do you wish to draw an Intermediate Entry?】

Zhou Jin didn't hesitate at all and recited directly in his heart: "Draw!"

【Entry drawing successful—Intermediate Entry: Deep Affection and Restraint.】

【Deep Affection: When the host performs emotional scenes such as loving but not being able to have, enduring and restraining, or cutting off love, the infectious power of micro-expressions increases significantly. You can accurately perform a sense of brokenness, every move is an restrained deep affection, which can easily break the audience's tear glands and trigger strong resonance.】

It's like sending a pillow when you're sleepy.

"Watch your step, it's slippery." Zhou Jin said in a low voice.

Reba woke up as if from a dream, hurriedly broke free from his arms, and patted her full chest with a violently heaving breath: "Thank you so much! Otherwise, I would have been disfigured!"

"Just a small effort." Zhou Jin smiled lightly.

Reba looked up and was instantly stunned. This man had a tall posture and deep facial features; he was perfectly in line with her aesthetic points!

"Little brother... you're so handsome." She blurted out, then her pretty face turned bright red.
