Chapter 15 Keeping an Appointment
Yin Qiaoqiao suddenly asked, "Qinqin, did Senior Brother Huang tell you about the situation of their film crew? How come Wu Yuchen is already acting in his freshman year?"

Yin Qiaoqiao is more interested in what's behind the script than in the script itself.

Jiang Qinqin shook her head: "I haven't even read the script yet, why ask this? I'll ask Brother Huang next time I see him."

After Jiang Qinqin finished speaking, she took out the script and started flipping through it. Although Chen Shasha next to her was unhappy with Wu Yuchen's attitude, she was actually quite curious. After all, Huang Lei had praised it so highly that his judgment was trustworthy, so she also went over to read it.

Yin Qiaoqiao didn't pay attention to the script. Her eyes lit up, and she decided to find out more about Wu Yuchen. Beijing Film Academy wasn't very big, and all the girls in the school lived in one dormitory building. Yin Qiaoqiao could just visit a junior she knew from her freshman year.

Jiang Qinqin and Chen Shasha sat on the edge of the bed flipping through the script. Yin Qiaoqiao's departure did not attract their attention, and the dormitory fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Yin Qiaoqiao returned from visiting someone's home. She only learned that Wu Yuchen was a local from Beijing, but didn't know what his family did for a living.

However, locals are much better off than outsiders. Nowadays, college graduates who don't find local employment often can't even get their household registration and are reassigned back to their hometowns. But for artists like them, the cultural atmosphere and opportunities in other regions are worlds apart from those in Beijing.

If they don't return to their hometowns and stay in Beijing, they can only be self-employed. Without a receiving unit or household registration, they are like rootless duckweed, commonly known as "Beijing drifters." None of them want to become Beijing drifters.

Thinking this to herself, Yin Qiaoqiao glanced at the two women still sitting on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but ask, "The script doesn't look that thick. Haven't you two finished reading it yet?"

Her words startled the two women, who were staring blankly at the script, back to reality.

Chen Shasha's face was still filled with shock as she murmured, "This story, this story..."

Then she slapped her thigh, cried out, and lamented, "Why didn't Senior Brother Huang show us the script first? If I had known, I would have acted properly earlier!"

Although Jiang Qinqin didn't say anything, she gripped the script tightly with both hands, her face showing both surprise and joy, and she couldn't help but imagine herself playing the female driver.

Upon seeing this, Yin Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "Is this script very good?"

“Excellent!”

After Chen Shasha finished speaking, she asked Jiang Qinqin:
"Qinqin, was this script written by Wu Yuchen?"

Jiang Qinqin smiled and nodded: "Senior Brother Huang said it was his own creation."

Chen Shasha scratched her head, a hint of regret on her face. Now she had no opinion of Wu Yuchen's previous attitude at all. Wasn't it normal for a talented man to be a little arrogant?

Yin Qiaoqiao thought to herself, "Oh, I didn't expect him to be such a talented man."

Although the concept of "tall, rich, and handsome" didn't exist at that time, Yin Qiaoqiao had already labeled Wu Yuchen with something similar. In addition, his status as a local of Beijing and his talent made him a target worth trying for her!

"Qinqin, did Teacher Huang say when the filming will be?"

"It should be the weekend."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shasha's eyes darted around, and she mentioned to Jiang Qinqin:

"Qinqin, isn't Senior Brother Li Dawei going to invite you to dinner this weekend?"
If you don't have time, then...

“I’m not familiar with him, why would I want to eat with him? I’m not going!” Jiang Qinqin immediately and firmly stated.

"Qinqin, look at Senior Brother Li Dawei, he's mature and steady, and he works at the Beijing Film Studio. He also has connections. What a great guy! Why don't you go for him?" Chen Shasha urged enthusiastically from the side.

"You're making it sound so good, why don't you go for it if you like it!" Jiang Qinqin didn't even look up, her eyes lingering on the script in her hands, growing increasingly fond of it.

Upon hearing this, Yin Qiaoqiao glanced at Jiang Qinqin, feeling a pang of jealousy.

After entering the school, Jiang Qinqin captured the attention of most of the male students. Even Li Dawei, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy's Class of '89 who had been out of school for over a year, was stunned by her beauty upon returning and began pursuing her. Although Li Dawei had only worked at the Beijing Film Academy for less than two years, he had a powerful mother, Liu Guoquan, a rare and accomplished female director in the industry with extensive connections.

If you date him, you won't have to worry about not finding a job after graduation, and you'll also be able to access more opportunities and resources through him.

If it were Yin Qiaoqiao, even if she didn't date him, she would still actively contact him to keep him hanging on and get as many benefits as possible.

Jiang Qinqin smiled at Chen Shasha and said:
"Sasha, Senior Brother Huang always takes such good care of us, how can I not go if he asks me for help? Don't you think so!"

Chen Shasha knew that Jiang Qinqin had made up her mind to play the role, and could only lament that if she hadn't been so willful and had performed well, she might have had a chance to get the role!

Chen Shasha wasn't doing it for fame or fortune. They were only sophomores and didn't have many utilitarian thoughts. They were simply actors who had come across a good script and a role they liked, which gave them a strong desire to perform. After missing out, they felt a sense of regret.

……

Wu Yuchen came out of the school gate and found a small restaurant diagonally across the street. Huang Lei told him today that Jiang Qinqin had agreed and wanted to talk to him first.

With the female lead secured, Wu Yuchen naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.

As soon as he entered the small restaurant, he saw three beautiful women of different colors chatting and laughing around a table. They were none other than the Three Golden Flowers.

Wu Yuchen raised an eyebrow. He had thought it would only be Jiang Qinqin, but he hadn't expected all three beauties to come.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen also felt that it was quite a coincidence that these three beauties came together: Jiang Qinqin, Yin Qiaoqiao, and Chen Shasha, all of which are reduplicated sounds.

Yin Qiaoqiao waved to Wu Yuchen first, greeting him warmly, "Wu Yuchen, over here~"

Wu Yuchen walked over with a smile: "I'm sorry to have kept you three senior sisters waiting."

Yin Qiaoqiao picked up the kettle next to her, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Wu Yuchen, saying with a smile:

"No need to be so formal, just call us by our names."

Wu Yuchen took the teacup and thought that Yin Qiaoqiao was quite warm and welcoming.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qiaoqiao!"

Then he turned his head, raised his teacup, and thanked Jiang Qinqin: "Thank you, Senior Qinqin, for being willing to join our crew!"

Jiang Qinqin smiled sweetly: "No need, no need. I should be thanking you for giving me this opportunity. Your script is excellent!"

Chen Shasha, standing nearby, spoke up, "Director Wu, I wasn't in a good mood or in the right state of mind during my performance before, it was my fault. Please don't hold it against me, and don't forget me if you come across any good scripts in the future!"

Wu Yuchen initially had a so-so impression of Chen Shasha because of her attitude during her previous performance, but her apology changed his opinion of her considerably.

"How could that be? I've heard Senior Brother Huang praise Senior Sister Sasha's acting skills, so I naturally wouldn't care about such a small matter."

Seeing that Wu Yuchen had brushed it off with a single sentence, Chen Shasha smiled happily upon hearing this.

At this moment, Yin Qiaoqiao said in a sweet voice:

"Stop thanking me and apologizing all the time. Are you even going to eat?"

The group laughed and called over the waiter to order.
