Chapter 9

Later, he found out that it was just a student who had just graduated from Beijing Film Academy and had no background at all.

He was completely relieved.

He is a Hong Kong star.

Coming to a backward place like the mainland to film, he had heard before that Hengdian didn't even have hot water, and he didn't want to come at all.

If it weren't for his senior telling him that money was easy to make in the mainland, he wouldn't have taken this job at all.

But since he was already here, how could he let an ordinary person with no background and no capital snatch the role?

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The producers and staff who were just praising Chen Weiting's ancient costume appearance stopped their voices, as if they had been pinched by the throat, and the entire conference room was instantly quiet.

Everyone showed a surprised expression.

Chen Weiting was stunned for a moment, and looked over with some doubt following everyone's gaze.

The door was pushed open, and Zhou Jin walked in.

He was wearing an ancient long gown, his long hair tied up, holding a long sword in his hand; he stood there, a dashing swordsman who walked out of a painting, and he still had an indescribable, otherworldly temperament.

Junior Entry 【Ancient Costume Appearance】 activated.

The moment Chen Weiting saw Zhou Jin, a thought popped into his mind subconsciously—handsome.

Really handsome.

But he soon reacted, his gaze fell on the clothes on Zhou Jin's body, and his face changed instantly.

The two were wearing the same costume.

Chen Weiting bit his teeth tightly.

He didn't expect that the person auditioning with him could be so handsome and have such a good temperament.

He now completely understood why a Beijing Film Academy graduate with no background could walk into this conference room with him.

Reba was also stunned when she saw Zhou Jin's ancient costume appearance.

She was originally worried for Zhou Jin, but after seeing Zhou Jin's appearance, her eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and she didn't close it for a long time.

Handsome!

Even more handsome than usual.

Yang Mi's gaze fell on Zhou Jin, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.

Indeed, he was more handsome and had more temperament than usual.

A scene from last night flashed in her mind, and she remembered the thoughtful breakfast this morning, her legs subconsciously closed together, and she rubbed them lightly.

A bit want to go to the bathroom.

Director Liang looked at Zhou Jin, his eyes full of surprise and satisfaction.

The producer was also surprised, then looked at each other, and all fell silent.

If Zhou Jin was only a little bit more handsome than Chen Weiting, they could choose Chen Weiting against their conscience.

But Zhou Jin after makeup, whether it was appearance or temperament, was more than a street ahead of Chen Weiting.

In this case, even if they wanted to say against their will that Chen Weiting was more suitable, they couldn't say it.

If they really said it, others wouldn't think they were insisting on different opinions, but would only suspect that their IQ had problems.

Chen Weiting looked at the silent producers, his heart panicked.

But he had to comfort himself; after all, he was named by the investors, and the producer couldn't easily agree to replace him.

Sure enough, several producers gathered together and discussed for a while, and one of them coughed and said:

"I admit that Zhou Jin's ancient costume appearance is indeed better than Chen Weiting's."

Chen Weiting's face turned black when he heard this.

Although it was a fact, couldn't they put the facts aside first?

The producer paused and continued: "However, Zhou Jin's temperament is too strong; playing the fourth male lead will steal the spotlight from the first male lead, which is easy to overshadow the host. And the investors named Chen Weiting for the Hong Kong market; now that we suddenly change people, we can't explain it to the investors."

Chen Weiting breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Zhou Jin frowned slightly.

He had guessed before that Chen Weiting might have investors from Hong Kong behind him.

But he didn't expect that he would be labeled as "stealing the spotlight from the first male lead" because he was too handsome and had too good a temperament.

Zhou Jin subconsciously looked at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi didn't avoid his gaze and nodded lightly.

Zhou Jin understood.

Sister Mi's meaning is, leave it to her.

Zhou Jin felt relieved in his heart.

Sure enough, soft rice is delicious.

Not only is there a blessing to enjoy, but you can also be a background.

It just so happens that his daily mission of jogging this morning is completed, Endurance +1.

He must reward Sister Mi well when he returns to the hotel.

Director Liang and Yang Mi looked at each other.

He could see from Yang Mi's eyes that she still insisted on using Zhou Jin.

Director Liang immediately made a decision in his heart.

In the director's line of work, whether it's investors, producers, or actors, you're bound to offend people.

But as long as you can film the drama well, you're not afraid of offending people, because if the drama is good, capital will take the initiative to find you.

Director Liang looked at the producer and said calmly:

"First of all, I think Zhou Jin's image is more in line with the role of Ling Yue and more in line with the character's own setting."

"Secondly, Ling Yue is only the fourth male lead, his screen time is not much, and he has a brotherly relationship with the first male lead. I don't think there is a problem of stealing the spotlight from the first male lead."

The producer was about to refute, but Yang Mi suddenly interrupted the other party and said calmly:

"I think Zhou Jin being too handsome will not only not steal the spotlight from the first male lead, but will make this drama more colorful and popular. So, I support Zhou Jin to play the role of Ling Yue."

Several producers changed their expressions when they saw Yang Mi speak.

Zhou Jin looked at Yang Mi, who was supporting him, and nodded secretly.

As expected of Sister Mi, who won the bet against capital, she has the courage and is reliable at critical moments.

Reba was very anxious on the side, but Sister Mi had told her before to not be anxious.

As a newcomer who had just debuted, she didn't dare to speak casually in such an occasion, no matter how anxious she was.

But now that Sister Mi had expressed her position, she, as Sister Mi's little follower, immediately had the confidence.

Reba gathered her courage and said: "I play the junior sister, and I also think Zhou Jin is more suitable for the role of Ling Yue. And I have seen Zhou Jin's acting skills during the audition, and I think Zhou Jin will act better than Chen Weiting."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she poured out all her thoughts, and after saying it, she felt that her words were a bit offensive, so she hurriedly added another sentence.

"Ah, actually I didn't mean that, I mean... Zhou Jin's acting skills are better than Chen Weiting's."

"Ah..."

"Actually, that's what I meant... no, I didn't..."

Reba wanted to explain, but the more she explained, the more chaotic it became.

Reba finally gave up struggling, slumped her head, raised her hand, and said weakly: "I support Sister Mi's words, I agree with Zhou Jin, finished."

Zhou Jin saw her panicked appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl is too cute.

And Chen Weiting on the other side, after listening for so long, his heart sank immediately.
