Chapter 12

I'm dead.

These days, the computer was in other dorms; Lin Nan hadn't brought it back at all.

Today, he finally remembered the few pages of QQ numbers he got from the Central Academy of Drama and prepared to add them.

Once logged in, he saw a series of messages.

The Zhou poison woman's heart to destroy me will not die.

"The computer has been taken by old Zhu, Luo Jin, and the others to watch films these days; it's not with me."

"Beauty, are you there?"

"Miss Wang?"

Sending a few messages first, it was best if she replied; if she couldn't, he would call later. The process had to be done fully.

This girl usually looked like she kept strangers at a distance, but only after getting familiar did he find her personality was really good.

It's just that your tone of speaking is too aggressive, easy to make people misunderstand; we are at most half-step best friends now.

Sure enough, from morning to afternoon, she didn't reply a single word.

Sigh, Lin Nan surrendered; why was he afraid to press the button when holding the phone?

Liu's mother, "Hello."

Lin Nan knew the reason.

"Ah, auntie, I am Lin Nan, calling to ask how Xixi's crew is doing. We are going to Golden Horse at the end of the year, wanting to ask if she has time to go together. Oh oh, starting filming then, ah, then it's fine, auntie, I won't disturb you anymore, goodbye."

Lin Nan wanted to hang up the phone quickly, but was lectured by Liu's mother. Every sentence and every word was for Lin Nan's own good; the implication was not to disturb her daughter if there was nothing.

Cowardly, Lin Nan covered his face, "Why am I so cowardly?"

Opening the computer, looking at the message sent in the morning, Lin Nan added, "I called, auntie answered, saying you are adapting to the crew life, very busy, very busy..."

Lin Nan was as tactful as possible; the ice-snow-smart fairy should understand his meaning.

"Slap," closing the computer, Lin Nan lay on the bed, not wanting anything, annoying.

I don't know how long it had been, Lin Nan opened his eyes suddenly, got up to look at the acting department's class schedule, and walked out.

Found Zhou Yang in the physical training classroom, "You come out for a moment."

Fortunately, it was break time, otherwise, Lin Nan wouldn't have been able to speak.

"What's the matter?"

"What bad things did you say about me to Xixi?"

Zhou Yang was instantly beaming, "Hehe, just said that your eyes were straight when you were at the Central Academy of Drama, drool flowed all over the floor, wishing you could transfer to that side, hahaha."

"You you you, you are simply a gossip..." Lin Nan pointed at Zhou Yang with his finger, unable to find a more gentle word for a moment, and couldn't say anything too harsh.

Only to see Zhou Yang's eyes widen, "You try pointing at me again," saying that, she puffed out her chest and approached. Lin Nan was so scared he kept retreating, one advancing and one retreating.

Finally, Lin Nan was forced to have nowhere to retreat.

"Hehe, found my weakness, right? If you argue with me again in the future, I'll go say it again."

Zhou Yang laughed like a mama-san, turned her head and entered the classroom.

Lin Nan patted his forehead, a lifetime of fame lost in a moment.

"Lin Zi," Zhu Yawen didn't know when he had come over.

"Know that that guy said bad things about you?"

"How do you know?" Lin Nan was curious.

"She told everyone in our class who could be told. I thought you knew. Who told you to be so popular at the Central Academy of Drama that day," Zhu Yawen smiled, and Lin Nan knew this guy was happy to watch the fun.

"She didn't just tell those in school, she also sent messages to those not in school," Lin Nan said angrily.

"Oh, understood."

"Understand my ass, let's go eat."

A dozen skewers of barbecue, two cans of beer, the two ate and talked.

"You went to the director department, don't need to have morning classes every day," Zhu Yawen complained.

"Each has its own benefits."

"CCTV has a crew, 'Lotus Lantern' is looking for actors, I want to take time to go see it."

"That play is finished?"

"Not an important role, it will be done in half a month," Zhu Yawen replied.

"If you want to go, then go. Ancient costume mythological drama, CCTV has never done small things, absolutely excellent. As for whether you can be selected, it depends on you," Lin Nan knew this drama.

The most handsome Erlang God, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Erlang Zhenjun himself was found; the silver armor is thief handsome, as long as you don't speak Qingdao dialect.

"How can we say we have acted as a film male supporting role? You, this director, don't have confidence in your own record-breaking film?"

"You accompany me, just treat it as building up my momentum."

"It's not two armies facing each other, I'm still beating drums to cheer for you."

However, Lin Nan still agreed to accompany Zhu Yawen. This TV series wouldn't start filming until next year; it was just starting to select actors now, no rush.

Domestic paparazzi were also slowly gaining momentum; the "Peacock" crew slapping incident was exposed.

Film Academy students had eaten enough melons; everyone was a reserve for this circle, some things were known more or less, but this kind of complete exposure was still rare at this time.

It will become more and more common in the future, everyone just wait and see.

The audition for "Lotus Lantern" was in the capital, planning to film in the capital and Hengdian.

Zhu Yawen found out the audition location of the crew in advance and also prepared a resume, which was very complete.

Calling Lin Nan, he was about to leave. When they arrived, they met a senior who had graduated. Although they were from the same school, they might become competitors.

A senior from the 99-grade acting department; Lin Nan remembered this person was the Eight Prince in the play.

This play was produced by a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCTV. There were two directors; Director Yu was from Hong Kong, and Director Zhao was a Northwesterner, one of Zhang Dahu's right-hand men.

Lin Nan had attended several symposiums those days and had seen this director. The position he usually held was either director or action director.

Zhang Dahu's right-hand man was also known as the literary and martial director. Martial referred to this person.

"Lin Nan, are you here to audition? I remember you are a film director."

"Teacher Zhao, I'm here accompanying a classmate," the other party remembering him surprised Lin Nan; it seemed they hadn't spoken.

"I just said, your film is not bad, I've seen it, no wonder it can sell 30 million."

"You praise me, this is my classmate Zhu Yawen, the male second lead in my film, today I'm accompanying him to audition," Lin Nan introduced Zhu Yawen accordingly.

"Director Zhao, hello..."

Leaving the rest to old Zhu, Lin Nan didn't talk anymore. Being able to meet Director Zhao, a fellow townsman, was already good luck; Lin Nan couldn't help with anything else.

Zhu Yawen went in, Lin Nan waited outside, and on the other side, he really saw some familiar faces.

Yan Danchen, wearing props, walked over, "Junior Lin Nan, oh no, should call you Director Lin Nan, why are you here, auditioning or directing?"

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Lin Nan muttered in his heart, those people always talk about Zeng Li from the 96 grade next door, is this senior sister from the 96 grade in my school not good-looking? I must find an opportunity to see that one another day and compare.

"Senior sister is joking, I'm here accompanying Zhu Yawen, are you also preparing to audition? You've even changed your clothes."

Lin Nan asked knowing the answer.

"Yes, the director asked me to play Chang'e, look at my outfit, is it okay?" Saying that, she spun around for Lin Nan and even blinked.

"If senior sister doesn't play Chang'e, who will? Just this outfit, it is Chang'e herself."

"What?"

Yan Danchen didn't understand and was about to ask, when Zhu Yawen came out, "Senior sister Yan, hello."

"Hello, junior."

"Come over for a moment, the two directors are looking for you."

Lin Nan was very puzzled, what are they looking for me for? I'm not auditioning, and the director group doesn't seem to be short of people.

Truly, plucking hair from a passing goose; Lin Nan was just accompanying Zhu Yawen to audition, but ended up getting himself involved.

Zhu Yawen was auditioning for the male lead's good brother, the Eight Prince of the East Sea. There was only one competitor, the senior from the 99 grade of the Film Academy.

Director Zhao set his target on Lin Nan, who came with Zhu Yawen, wanting him to make a cameo appearance in a role.

"What, Nezha? Teacher Zhao, I haven't graduated yet, don't fool me, is this a cameo?"

Although Lin Nan was confident that he was more photogenic than the big round-faced Nezha in the original play, this role was not a cameo at all, okay? How can a cameo have so many episodes?

"Then come to the director group, add you to the director list, multiple groups proceed at the same time, just treat it as coming to play..."

Feinting to the east and attacking to the west? Can you make this decision?

Filming starts in February next year, roughly taking less than two months of Lin Nan's time. The key was that Zhu Yawen kept winking; Lin Nan was backstabbed.

Barely agreeing, the two directors were very happy; the crew picked up a 30-million director for nothing, and what they paid, besides normal expenses, was just a male supporting role for Zhu Yawen.

When auditioning Zhu Yawen, they set their sights on Lin Nan. After one phone call back, the higher-ups were actually very happy!

As for the contract, it would be sent to Lin Nan later.

On the way back, Lin Nan scolded Zhu Yawen the whole way, "You are really something, even saying I have no film plans in the short term, why don't you go to heaven?"

Actually, Lin Nan also tacitly accepted it in his heart, just treat it as building a good relationship with CCTV.

They wanted his name, and wasn't he also getting more opportunities to practice? Although the threshold for filming TV series is much lower than filming movies.

But this is "Lotus Lantern," destined to be a classic.

A few days later, the producer, China International Television Corporation, issued an announcement to the media, welcoming Director Lin Nan to join the mythological TV series "Lotus Lantern" crew as one of the directors.

Below, blah blah was Lin Nan's resume, emphasizing "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"...

Lin Nan stretched the newspaper with both hands, toothache.

This action was too fast; he only signed the contract yesterday afternoon, and it was in the newspaper today.

Going to the cafeteria for a meal in the morning, he was blocked by people asking if the crew was short of actors.

What can I say? I'm just making up the numbers, I can't make the decision on actors.

Lin Nan also held the mentality of trying, asking Director Zhao a few questions. Currently, the leads had been set, just missing a Three Holy Mother and some minor roles.

Minor roles are fine, calling a group of classmates to audition, it can be considered as having an explanation.

For a time, Lin Nan could be considered to have sparked another wave of topics.

The topic shifted to the film circle; Hong Jinbao and Zhou Xingchi had a falling out in the "Kung Fu" crew. Hong Kong paparazzi were really powerful, directly interviewing the former.

Hong was worthy of being a big brother, directly mocking the latter for only treating himself as a human, while others were dogs.

On this side, Huayi also announced the filming plan for Director Feng's new film "A World Without Thieves," actors were undecided and were auditioning, planning to start filming next year.

Thinking it was that the script finally had a turning point above.

Lin Nan didn't have the heart to care about these; he got the finalized script of "Lotus Lantern," as well as the list of a few actors who had been set.

The first line was the actor for Liu Chen Xiang, Cao Jun, a child star.

Female lead, Shu Chang, playing the little fox, pure and cute, was the first love of many teenagers.

Second master, Jiao Enjun, the most handsome Erlang Erlang Zhenjun in history, how can he be a villain? How many people finished this play because of him.
