Chapter 2 The Female Celebrity Arrives
"Thank you, Mom. I'll be reporting to Uncle's company tomorrow. You take good care of yourself at home. Love you, Mom!" Lin Yu agreed without hesitation.
"Then you must take good care of yourself!" Du Yinghui was a little speechless when she heard her son's answer.
She remembered that her son had refused several times before, and he had been quite righteous in his refusal.
They said they would make a name for themselves through their own efforts.
Has she changed her personality?
However, she was quite happy that Xiaoyu had made such a change.
My son has finally gotten the hang of it.
Lin Yu chatted with his mother for a while before hanging up the phone.
This phone call reminded Lin Yu that he also had connections.
My uncle, Wang Changtian, is the big boss of Enlight Media.
Many people may not be familiar with Enlight Media, but they have definitely heard of the movies produced and distributed by this company.
Lost in Thailand, Lost in Hong Kong, Monkey King: Hero Is Back, Ne Zha, Jiang Ziya, and The Mermaid.
Any one of them could be a major IP.
In my past life, I was as stubborn as a donkey, reckless and ignorant.
I don't want to rely on my aunt and uncle's relationship to get a job through connections.
He insisted on making a name for himself in the entertainment industry through his own abilities.
As a result, he didn't get the lead role in a TV series until he was thirty, and it was even a web series.
Whenever I think of this.
Lin Yu wanted to slap his past self a few times.
Only then did he realize it!
To succeed in the entertainment industry, you either need resources.
Or it's like a female actress with a curvy figure, having a director giving her a push from behind.
Unfortunately, he's not from Chengdu and doesn't like having someone behind your back.
In my past life, I scoffed at the idea of getting things done through connections.
He now learns frame by frame.
I only regret that I was too late in understanding things in my past life.
Is this considered using connections in the entertainment industry?
That's because someone has connections behind the scenes!
Being reborn in 2016 is truly a wonderful time.
The young actresses born in 95 are budding and ready to bloom.
No one is picking them!
Few people tread the tree-lined path.
All Lin Yu needs to do is step into the entertainment industry.
Using his system and connections, he can guide these actresses born in the 95s who have no acting skills.
Scam some people and make some money on the side!
After all, just hanging around outside the circle can't compare to the real experience of being inside!
The next morning at 8:30.
The Guangxian Center on Beiyuan Road, Chaoyang District.
Lin Yu arrived at the building of Enlight Media early in the morning.
Chaoyang District is a great place, but the people of Chaoyang District are too enthusiastic.
This place is incompatible with celebrities!
Lin Yu walked into the company building and gave his name.
After the receptionist verified his identity, she immediately and respectfully led him upstairs to find Li Chengyuan.
Li Chengyuan is the head of the video department and someone Wang Changtian directly contacted.
The office door opened.
Lin Yu also looked into the office.
Sitting in front of the desk was a young man wearing glasses, a plaid shirt, and jeans.
She looks to be only about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
Li Chengyuan, who had been looking down at the documents, was stunned when he looked up and saw Lin Yu.
The young man before me.
Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a straight and upright posture, delicate and three-dimensional features, well-defined contours, clean skin, and a sunny yet rugged temperament.
With that face and figure, even if she didn't know anything else, she could make a living just by her looks in the entertainment industry.
Li Chengyuan instantly understood.
No wonder Mr. Wang personally greeted them.
With those physical attributes, it's as if God was feeding them to the brim.
"Lin Yu, right? Please have a seat. President Wang has already spoken to me, so we're on the same side from now on." Li Chengyuan immediately stood up warmly.
"Thank you for your help, Manager Li. I just didn't expect you to be so young." Lin Yu nodded politely, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
"No trouble at all, it's just that General Manager Wang values me and asked me to set up this new department, which was only recently established. From now on, you can just call me Brother Li. I'm not that much older than you, calling me Manager Li is too formal!" Li Chengyuan said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
"From now on, Brother Li can just call me Xiao Yu. I hope Brother Li will take good care of me in the future!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
Since everyone is young, communication is quite smooth.
"Xiaoyu, there's something I need to make clear to you first. You're a complete newcomer, you've never acted before, you don't have any works to your name, it's unrealistic to put you directly into movies, and the audience won't accept it either. We can only start with TV dramas." Li Chengyuan said to Lin Yu, expressing his opinion.
"I'll follow Brother Li's arrangements." Lin Yu nodded with a smile.
Lin Yu understood Li Chengyuan's meaning.
The acting requirements for TV dramas and movies are vastly different.
The big screen amplifies the actors' expressions and movements infinitely.
That's not something an ordinary TV drama actor could handle.
This is why top TV drama actresses like Yang Mi and Zhao Liying can only play supporting roles in movies.
The main character is completely incapable of carrying the show.
Moreover, even supporting roles aren't guaranteed to be well-acted.
Li Chengyuan was very satisfied with Lin Yu's thoughtfulness. He flipped through the documents on the table and his eyes lit up.
"Perfect timing! I have a role that's currently casting auditions. I think your appearance and demeanor are a perfect fit, so you could give it a try and get some experience."
"What kind of play?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"The Phoenix Prisoner, Yu Zheng's new drama, is currently in the preparation stage. The actor for the third male lead, Gu Huan, has not yet been cast."
Lin Yu's heart stirred.
"Phoenix Prisoner" was a top-tier IP drama that aired in 2018.
Despite constant controversy since its premiere, its popularity has soared, and anyone who manages to get a role in it can gain significant exposure.
Moreover, it seems that all the supporting actors in this drama, besides the male and female leads, have become popular.
The character Gu Huan appears gentle and refined on the surface, but is actually scheming and treacherous, with a significant amount of screen time.
The character design is also outstanding, making it an excellent stepping stone for newcomers.
Seeing that Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, Li Chengyuan continued.
"You know Yu Zheng's temper. He hates it when people try to force their way into the production crew, even if it's just for financial reasons. He might not give in."
"So you can't just show up; you have to go through the audition process. But I can help you skip the preliminary auditions and go straight to the final audition. Of course, the production team will still make arrangements in advance."
Lin Yu nodded.
"Of course, having an audition opportunity is enough."
He knew that the male lead and the second male lead had already been decided by artists from Yu Zheng's own company, Huanyu Entertainment.
No matter how strong his connections are, he can't get in; the third male lead is currently his most suitable target.
"The audition is in three days, at the 22nd floor of Building 12, Wanda Plaza, Jianguo Road, Chaoyang District." Li Chengyuan sent an electronic version of the script to Lin Yu's phone.
"Take these next few days to really study the character and thoroughly understand the lines, so you don't mess things up later."
"Don't worry, Brother Li, I'll be all ready," Lin Yu replied directly.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, our video department is also preparing to produce web dramas and TV series, and we're currently scouting for new talent. The company has also offered you the position of deputy manager of the video department. Go to the front desk later to get your business card and help the company find some new talent!" Li Chengyuan also revealed Lin Yu's position at Enlight Media.
Lin Yu also inquired about it in detail!
This job offers a high degree of freedom; you're essentially just holding a position at the company, but you still receive a monthly salary.
As for the roles Lin Yu took on himself, those were entirely income outside of his own company.
If you want to sign with Enlight Media later, you can talk to the company about it.
Lin Yu felt a surge of emotion.
This doesn't look like an uncle at all!
He's practically a godfather!
After leaving Enlight Media, Lin Yu returned to his residence and calmed down to study the character.
He spent two whole days reading through the original novel "Phoenix Prisoner" from beginning to end.
Furthermore, based on the script, a detailed analysis of Gu Huan's character biography, personality changes, inner motivations, and key scenes was conducted.
My ten-year acting career in my previous life wasn't for nothing.
Although he can't be considered a veteran actor.
However, they have their own understanding of character analysis and emotional expression, but they lack a stage to showcase it.
Now, the stage is set before us.
As for the system...
Lin Yu helplessly touched his chin.
This thing only works if it's linked to a female celebrity.
He's been staying in his rented apartment reading for the past two days, and the system has completely gone silent, showing no reaction whatsoever.
You can't just randomly grab a random girl from the street and bind yourself to her, can you?
The system might just go on strike on the spot.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the audition.
Lin Yu tidied himself up and went to the Wanda Plaza office building according to the address, entering the waiting room of the "Phoenix Prisoner" preparation team.
The lobby was already quite full of people.
The men and women were all young actors who came to audition, and they all looked nervous and silently memorized their lines.
Lin Yu had just found a seat and was casually glancing around when his eyes suddenly lit up.
Almost at the same instant, a system notification appeared in my mind.
[Detectable to bind with female celebrity Bai Lu!]
【Bind now?】
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
coming!
PS: The new book has passed the internal submission stage, so you can read it with confidence. It will be signed and removed from the new book list in five days!
