Huayu is here for you

After several days of hard work, Lin Yu's Starlight Media was finally established at the end of September.

The company currently consists of only three people: Lin Yu, Huang Bo, and his girlfriend. Although the company is small, it is still considered to be a company.

In the past few days, Lin Yu also found Wang Baoqiang, a lucky guy. With the arrival of Xu Zheng and his wife, and the school's recommendation, the main cast of "Lost in Thailand" was complete. The only one left with some screen time was the mistress. Lin Yu gave Tao Hong the role of Li Chenggong's wife in the film—a natural fit, so I won't elaborate. The actress playing the con artist teacher in the film was Wan Qian, who volunteered herself.

Honestly, this young lady is really bold. Lin Yu has no idea how she found him. And according to Lin Yu's memories from his previous life, this girl should be filming a play or "The Golden Cangue". How did she suddenly end up here? And even now, Lin Yu still remembers this young lady's highlight moments.

At the time, Lin Yu was in a classroom at the Beijing Film Academy, auditioning with Xu Zheng and Huang Bo for roles recommended by the mentors, when this young lady barged in.

"Hello Director Lin, I'm Wan Qian. I'm here to audition for the role of the female teacher in the movie."

"Um...you're not from Beijing Film Academy, are you?"

"No, I'm from the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Then how did you end up here?"

"Does Director Lin only audition actors from the Beijing Film Academy?"

Lin Yu was immediately confused. He wanted to take the resume Wan Qian handed him and ask her: "Miss, do you know what you're saying?"

"No, that's not it. There's just another issue: this role has an age requirement—an actress around 25 years old, understand?"

"It's okay, I'm twenty this year, a little makeup will do the trick."

Xu Zheng, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing when he saw Lin Yu's speechless face. He roughly understood what was going on. This girl must know someone at the Beijing Film Academy. Knowing that they hadn't found a suitable role for Lin Yu, she thought she would try her luck. Although her attitude was very good, her way of expressing herself was quite immature.

"Director Lin, how about letting her try a scene first? I'll act alongside her," Xu Zheng suddenly said.

Looking at Xu Zheng, who seemed somewhat restless, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of an old saying: "You can't change what you're made of!"

However, he really didn't expect that Xu Zheng would show such signs now.

However, this has nothing to do with Lin Yu, and Lin Yu doesn't want to get involved. Anyway, it's not a big deal, so let's give it a try!

But after a three-minute audition, you have to admit, the girl's performance was really convincing.

So after confirming Wan Qian, Lin Yu spent another day auditioning for the role of "mistress," but couldn't find a suitable one. This made Lin Yu even consider sending an audition notice to Jiang Yan, who was not at the academy.

However, Lin Yu didn't want to waste any more time, so he decided to film and search for films simultaneously! Lin Yu was originally planning to release "Lost in Thailand" during the Spring Festival, since the focus in China is now on the Lunar New Year film season, which gave Lin Yu a chance to make a quick buck. However, this year's Lunar New Year film is Zhang Yimou's "Hero," and the investment and cast of this film are something that other films can't compete with.

It's also worth mentioning that the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" has actually been scheduled for release in mainland China at the end of October, which is a full year earlier than in my previous life! Lin Yu couldn't help but marvel at how big this change really was.

It seems that Hong Kong Island and Taiwan have a much closer connection with the mainland in this life than they did in their previous life.

Whether in the past or present, Hong Kong cinema has indeed been declining during this period, and it is an inevitable trend for Hong Kong directors and actors to shift their focus to the mainland!

However, these things are not relevant to Lin Yu for the time being. Lin Yu's main goal now is to accumulate initial capital and then have a foothold in the film industry. That is his biggest goal right now.

And he is currently working towards this goal...

"Card!"

"Wan Qian, when you say, 'We'll get married after you cure the girl's eyes, try to hold back your tears!' is that okay?" Lin Yu suddenly stopped filming and said to Wan Qian.

Those in the crew who heard Lin Yu's words were slightly taken aback! Director Lin's demands were too strict! Could this girl handle it?

Xu Zheng tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Can it work? That's a bit difficult."

However, Lin Yu, who was standing to the side, did not answer Xu Zheng. Instead, he turned his head and quietly looked at Wan Qian, waiting for her answer.

Although it would be fine to shed tears directly during this scene, Lin Yu still felt that it would be more perfect to have a "tears welling up" moment here, and then let the tears fall during the next few lines. However, he would not force Wan Qian if she was not up to it.

"Okay, director, I'll give it a try!"

Just when everyone thought the girl was about to give up, Wan Qian spoke up.

"Okay! You have five minutes, everyone take a break." Lin Yu said with a smile:

Lin Yu likes this kind of sensible and ambitious actress. It has to be said that, whether in his past life or this life, Lin Yu has a pretty good impression of this young lady.

"Boss, have some water!" Huang Bo stepped forward and said.

"Thank you!" Lin Yu took the bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank more than half of it.

Huang Bo looked at his boss, who was almost a decade younger than him, and felt a mix of emotions. Lin Yu was undoubtedly his benefactor, and he was filled with gratitude, and of course, envy!

Watching Lin Yu so at ease on set, he found it hard to believe that his boss was only 18 years old.

"What's wrong, Brother Bo? Why are you staring at me like that?" Lin Yu asked, looking at Huang Bo who was staring straight at him.

"It's nothing, I just feel that people really can't be compared to each other. Boss, your talent is something that most people can't match."

"Hehe... I'm still very new to this, I have a lot to learn! Oh, by the way, you can play the bus driver, I think you'd be perfect!" Lin Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay! No problem."

After chatting with Huang Bo for the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Wan Qian said she was ready.

So Lin Yu immediately announced the start of filming: "Action!"

As soon as Lin Yu announced the start, Miss Wan Qian instantly got into character…

"My boyfriend and I had agreed that once her eyes were cured... we would get married..."

"I really want to cure her eyes..."

"I really... really want to take her to see the rapeseed flowers."

"I feel I should persevere, no matter what!"

"But... I really can't take it anymore..."
