Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 600: Mentality

When Li Yitong returned to the preparation room, she saw a girl with a pointed chin beside Jin Chen, who was talking to him with gestures.

"Ah~ Lao Li, you're back!"

Seeing Li Yitong coming back from the audition, Jin Chen quickly stood up to greet her: "How is it, is there a chance?"

Li Yitong sighed, took out the autographed photo and said, "At least it's not all for nothing."

"oops!"

Before Jin Chen could say anything, the girl who had just pestered her stomped her feet in regret: "How could I forget about this... Well, I mean, if I had known earlier, I should have brought a photo!"

Seeing that she also came over and looked at the autographed photo curiously, Jin Chen had to introduce her: "This is Zheng Shuang, class of 07 at Beijing Film Academy."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Zheng Shuang generously extended his hand. Li Yitong hadn't figured out the situation yet, but she quickly reached out and shook his hand: "Hello, classmate Zheng."

"I have a classmate who has a good relationship with Director Xu. We have filmed two dramas together. When she heard that I was coming for an interview, she revealed some inside information." Zheng Shuang lowered her voice and whispered, "Jin Chen and I hit it off right away. I just told her everything - it's a pity that we met too late, otherwise you would definitely perform better."

"Uh~ Really."

Faced with such a familiar attitude, Li Yitong was a little at a loss and subconsciously looked at Jin Chen.

EMMM~
Jin Chen hesitated for a moment, but facing Zheng Shuang's watery gaze, he could only nod reluctantly.

She originally thought that she was relatively extroverted, but she didn't expect that there is always someone stronger than her, who actually put her on the spot.

However, Jin Chen was not one to suffer a loss, so he immediately pointed out, "Old Li, what was the process of the audition just now? Just tell us what you can say, and let Zheng Shuang listen to it. It can be regarded as our return of favor."

At first glance, this sounds like a request for reciprocity, but Li Yitong, who has more contact with her, can clearly hear that the focus of this statement is on the three words "can say".

So Li Yitong explained the general process again, without hiding any steps, but she did not mention that she was caught cheating, nor did she mention Liu Yifei's performance during the scene, nor did she say those lines.

Now the two sides are evenly matched.

The "inside story" revealed by Zheng Shuang is not very useful, and the audition process revealed by Li Yitong is nothing special. Most auditions are like this, otherwise they would not have prepared cheat sheets in advance.

Zheng Shuang had no intention of breaking up, but continued to stay with the two of them and took the initiative to bring up topics, preventing the two from chatting privately.

In this way, the sixth actress quickly finished the audition. Although the seventh was still not Jin Chen, but a girl named Jiang Shuying, Li Yitong was still a little panicked.

If I don't have time to tell Jin Chen the key issue, wouldn't both of us suffer?
She gritted her teeth, took out her cell phone, opened QQ, and started typing in the chat box.

After seeing this, Zheng Shuang pretended not to care and chatted with Jin Chen for a few more words, then suddenly asked with pretended curiosity: "Li Yitong, are you really a senior Aikun?"

As he said that, he leaned forward to peek at the screen.

Jin Chen also stretched his neck, almost getting face to face and mouth to mouth with her, then nodded vigorously and said, "Of course it's true, you don't know, there's a huge poster of Director Xu on the head of her bed!"

Zheng Shuang was nearly hit by a headbutt and had to retreat to avoid it.

She and Jin Chen looked at each other and suddenly smiled, "What a coincidence! There is also a poster of Director Xu on my bedside. If we have a chance, we can take pictures of them and compare them. Maybe they are the same one."

Then she lowered her head and took out a magazine from her small bag, found the content she wanted, and handed it to Jin Chen, saying, "I am the leading actress in the mainland version of Meteor Garden. You should know how popular Meteor Garden was back then, right? Even if I can't win The Way of Heaven, I will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean more walls. Anyway, you are studying dance, and your chances of winning are slim, so why don’t we have a heart-to-heart talk? If I really get this role, I will definitely not forget you.”

Seeing that Zheng Shuang had revealed her cards directly, Li Yitong stopped typing and looked at Jin Chen, waiting for Jin Chen to make a decision.

Jin Chen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "Now that we have come to this, we must try to turn the bicycle into a motorcycle - don't worry, if what you said can be used, I will definitely not forget you when I look back."

Zheng Shuang's expression visibly fell. She gritted her teeth and stared at Jin Chen for a while, then stood up and went straight back to her original seat.

"嘁~"

Jin Chen turned his back to her and made a face: "How shameless! What's wrong with us studying dance? Didn't Huo Siyan and Liu Shishi both graduate from our Beijing Dance Academy?"

"Okay, shut up and listen to me!" Li Yitong leaned over to her ear and told her every detail. Just as she finished saying most of it, the staff member came back with Jiang Shuying and called out the name "Zheng Shuang".

After Zheng Shuang stood up, he glared at Jin Chen first, and then followed the staff to go for the audition.

Li Yitong said with some regret: "You should know that she was ahead of you. We should have delayed a little bit to avoid offending her directly."

"You're going to be offended anyway."

Jin Chen disagreed: "I guess she doesn't have any real skills, otherwise how could she come to trap us?"

At this time, there were not many people left in the room.

Jin Chen asked some more details, then simply stood up and stretched his arms and legs to relieve the pressure in his heart.

About a few minutes later, Zheng Shuang came back from outside with the staff, but he didn't seem to be depressed at all.

"Jin Chen."

"here I am!"

When Jin Chen heard the staff call out her name, she quickly agreed and walked over. However, when she just reached Zheng Shuang, Zheng Shuang suddenly stretched out his leg as if to trip her.

Jin Chen was startled and stopped immediately.

Seeing this, Zheng Shuang retracted his legs that were halfway stretched out, and said to Jin Chen with a fake smile: "I heard that someone wants to report the fact that you two cut in line to the media, so you should pay the consequences yourself."

Although he knew that this woman was trying to disrupt his mentality, Jin Chen couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Fortunately, she is a carefree person after all. She thought it through right before entering the audition. Just go for it. Beijing Dance Academy is not much worse than Beijing Film Academy. What's more, the heroine of "Boss" Liu Shishi is from Beijing Dance Academy. Why can't people from Beijing Dance Academy participate in the audition?
However, this trick of hers to change people's mentality can be borrowed and used.

Jin Chen's eyes rolled. After entering the audition site, she looked around first, then stared at Liu Yifei in the corner with a look of surprise: "Oh, you are Senior Sister Liu Shishi, right?! Our teacher always uses you as an example to spur us on. I didn't expect that today..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Liu Xiaoli said angrily: "Which eye of yours makes us think that Xixi looks like Liu Shishi? If there is any resemblance, it's Liu Shishi imitating her ugly self!"

Liu Yifei didn't say anything, she just raised her eyes and looked at Jin Chen carefully for twice, then looked away.

Jin Chen realized that this trick didn't work as he had imagined, so he had to apologize to Liu Xiaoli repeatedly while standing in the center.

At this time, Xu Kun and the other two who were behind the judges' seats smiled at each other. Liu Xiaoli might not be able to see it, but Jin Chen's performance just now could not be hidden from the three of them.

Xu Kun thought about it and did not start the process directly. Instead, he took out Li Yitong's resume, circled "Beijing Dance Academy Class of 07", and then circled Jin Chen's resume. Finally, he motioned to Huang Bin to take it over for Jin Chen to review.

When Jin Chen saw the two circles above, the expression on his face froze.

broken!

This time he really lost more than he gained. Not only did he fail to influence Liu Yifei's mentality, but he ended up offending her!
Just as she was panicking, Xu Kun said, "There aren't many people back there, right? There's nothing new in the front, so why not just give it a try?"

Then Huang Bin handed the six booklets to Jin Chen.

Although Jin Chen was in a panic, he chose number 4 without hesitation. But when he opened it, he was dumbfounded to find that the content was completely different from what Li Yitong described.

Huang Bin saw that she was dumbfounded, and guessed that Li Yitong had probably let her know the truth, so he casually explained: "These numbers are not fixed, they will be shuffled and re-arranged every two rounds."

It's completely over now!
Jin Chen's mind became even more confused, and he couldn't concentrate at all when looking at the script in front of him.

Just as Li Yixiang shook his head slightly on the judges' panel, she suddenly raised her hand and pinched her face, leaving a few fingerprints while taking a few deep breaths.

With this, she really calmed down.

When acting opposite Liu Yifei, although Jin Chen made a lot of mistakes in his lines, his emotions were generally correct, and he did not show any weakness because of the mistakes in the lines.
