Chapter 3962: A Perfect Match (158)

The assistant director had business to attend to, so he excused himself and hurried off.

Liang Yin watched him leave and then turned to look at Hua Jin. She obviously seemed conflicted. “Audition … I never thought that I’d be invited to an audition.”

Smiling, Hua Jin pushed open the door and started towards the private box. “Do you like acting?”

“In the past, I wouldn’t say I liked it. But having experienced it, I find it interesting.”

The actor smiled at that. “Filming isn’t that simple! In your eyes, you probably think it’s all about being paid well and having lots of fans. Everyone knows your name. In fact, it’s not that simple! You may be defamed, made a target for rumors, and suffer cyberbullying. People scold you, but you can’t talk back.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re a public figure!” The actor continued, “Even if you’re heavily disguised and you get caught by netizens, you tend to lose a lot.”

“That’s terrible.”

“Still, no one would dare touch you, if you came from a powerful background.”

“I don’t have much of a background to speak of.” Liang Yin felt daunted. After all, she didn’t particularly like acting, and was only interested because it paid well, for one thing, and secondly, because she felt that acting was quite fun.

However, if it was really as horrible as Hua Jin had described, then she would be quite nervous.

“But you could sign a contract with Qin Zhou.” Hua Jin smiled in an evil manner. “If you become his artistes, you’d have many opportunities to interact with each other.”

“… agent?”

“An agent manages the artiste’s career. A good agent has great resources, and will take care of everything outside your job.”

Liang Yin was tempted when she heard this.

She adored Qin Zhou.

She felt that there was an air of maturity about Qin Zhou that men of Tang Yu and Hua Jin’s age did not have.

Many girls like men who are older than themselves. Mature and steady men give girls a greater sense of reliability and security.

She wasn’t a person who would be coy and beat around the bush. She liked him and simply said so.

“Would he be willing to sign me on?”

The actor said, “I’ll find out for you later.”

“Okay.”

Liang Yin said with a smile. “If it all goes successfully, I’ll treat you to a delicious meal!”

“Hmph, I’m not desperate for it! Also, keep some distance from me. Let’s not trigger another soul swap or I’ll jump off a building!”

When Liang Yin heard this, she kept a distance from him as she too, had some lingering fear, especially whenever they passed by the fountain in the courtyard. The two of them were especially vigilant.

As the saying goes: Once bitten, twice shy.

When they had finished lunch, they went back and Liang Yin went through the script with Hua Jin. The latter also gave her the lines for the demon role. She took them back and memorized them.

The next day, Hua Jin brought Liang Yin to the set. While he filmed, the assistant director took her to the audition.

When Hua Jin finished filming, he saw that Liang Yin was already sitting in the waiting area. However, her expression was a little strange.

He walked over to her and asked, “How did the audition go?”

“Mmm… it was alright!”

“Alright?”

The way she said it seemed a little ambiguous.

She looked obviously uncomfortable.

The actor studied her for a moment. It seemed as though she had something to say. He was a little amused but also suspicious. “What’s this expression on your face? Was Director Gu not satisfied with your performance?”
