Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 352: Assistant Casting Director

As soon as Wang Yifei arrived downstairs of the girls' dormitory, he saw Jin Feiyu waiting for him.

So she immediately went over with a smile and took his hand:
"Fei Yu, where are we going to eat?"

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."

When Wang Yifei heard this, she felt even happier.

While asking who the assistant casting director was tonight, he followed Jin Feiyu into his sports car.

Wang Yifei had a good impression of Jin Feiyu. The two met while rehearsing a play on campus.

He is the director and Wang Yifei is the second female lead.

When Jin Feiyu saw that Wang Yifei was good-looking, he gradually became attentive to her.

Once, at a KTV singing party, he saw Wang Yifei's other three roommates, and his heart became even more excited.

I was thinking about when I could defeat them one by one, and only when I could clear the entire dormitory would it be worthwhile for me to come to the Film Academy to study directing.

The deputy director of Zuibai Entertainment, Lin Zhen, whom he met today, was his direct senior in the directing department, whom he met during his internship on the crew last year.

At that time, he was a crew member, and now he has been promoted to assistant casting director.

Jin Feiyu's family had some money, so he would give Lin Zhen gifts every few days and would also pay for his entertainment expenses many times.

After a while, I became his younger brother.

Lin Zhen also likes this wise junior brother Jin Feiyu. Although he is still a junior, he has a good grasp of the ways of the world, so Lin Zhen is willing to take him out to play when he has nothing to do.

This time, the company took the initiative to propose that it would prepare several dramas at the same time, and there were a lot of vacancies for actors.

You can recommend a few familiar actors to come and play some small roles.

Let him show his face and flirt with girls.

Jin Feiyu immediately thought of Wang Yifei.

Wang Yifei is obviously not a simple white rabbit. She often heard that Jin Feiyu had joined the crew of Zuibai Entertainment several times. Although she was envious, she probably just worked as a small assistant and did odd jobs there.

It doesn't help me at all.

So when Jin Feiyu pursued her, she was also in a semi-reserved state.

She doesn't think much of a little money, because everyone in the film academy has a good family background.

If you want to be enthusiastic, you'd better be like Senior Brother Cheng Xi.

But this time, Jin Feiyu actually made an appointment with Zuibai Entertainment's deputy casting director, so Wang Yifei was obviously more intimate with Jin Feiyu.

Assistant directors, especially casting assistant directors, are very powerful figures in the crew for sophomores like them who have not yet entered the industry.

After all, Senior Brother Cheng Xi is too far away. Maybe I can see him again by getting a small role in the crew this time!
Normally, the four people in the dormitory seem to be harmonious, but they are actually in competition.

Especially since Senior Brother Cheng Xi obviously values ​​Meng Ziyi more, this makes her feel a little jealous.

Not long after, the sports car stopped in front of a well-known private restaurant in Wudaokou.

The two of them arrived at the private room that had been reserved in advance, and Jin Feiyu went out to order food and contact people.

Wang Yifei quickly puts on makeup.

At six o'clock, Director Lin Zhen finally arrived.

There was also a heavily made-up beauty by his side.

Jin Feiyu and Wang Yifei were waiting for him at the door in advance. After leading him into the box, Jin Feiyu said enthusiastically:

"Brother Zhen, this is Wang Yifei, the sophomore from our college that I mentioned to you."

Lin Zhen nodded very reservedly, but he had a plan in mind.

Compared with the heavily made-up beauty next to her, her looks may be about the same, but she has the feeling of a young student, even a little immature.

Lin Zhen is in his early forties, which is the age when he likes schoolgirls:
It would be nice to be with the person next to me, right?
However, he also knew that this was probably the girl Jin Feiyu wanted to pursue, so he had to give her some face.

After a few people exchanged drinks, Lin Zhen said:
"Yifei, right? Is it okay for Senior Brother to call you that? I heard your roommates are all beautiful women too."

When Wang Yifei heard Lin Zhen ask this, she was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Jin Feiyu and said:

"It's okay, it's okay. Director Lin, you're too polite. I'm in the acting department, so there are a lot of beautiful women around."

"Film academy is great. Our boss and I both graduated from film academy."

"The boss often tells me to take good care of my junior sisters, so this time I'll let Feiyu organize a party and see if we can bring all three of you in."

When Wang Yifei heard this, she realized that the girl with heavy makeup next to Director Lin was also a member of the crew.

Judging from the tone of his voice, he might also have graduated from a film academy?

So I asked curiously:
"Director Lin, is this drama 'Day and Night Chase'?"

Everyone knows about Zuibai Entertainment’s Plan Z. Currently, three TV series, “White Night Chase”, “Yu Zui” and “Nothing But Thirty” are in preparation.

Among them, "Day and Night Chase" should be the one with the smallest cast.

The male and female protagonists are the outdated Pan Yueming.

So she subconsciously thought that the crew they were brought in was "Day and Night Chase".

"Junior sister Yifei is wrong. This time I'm in the crew of "Nothing But Thirty". The boss wrote the script himself, and Zhang Tianai and Mao Xiaotong are starring. We are also considering a female lead. You have to keep it a secret."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and prepared to take a sip.

Upon seeing this, Jin Feiyu immediately picked up his wine glass and said:

"Brother Zhen, I respect you. Don't worry, we will definitely keep it a secret, right Yifei?"

"That's for sure, Director Lin, don't worry."

When Wang Yifei heard that it was "Nothing But Thirty" and that Zhang Tianai was the leading actress, she suddenly became more interested than before.

In her heart, Zhang Tianai is a real star. The online drama "Go Princess Go" became an instant hit, and the movie "Youth" grossed 8 million yuan.

This time, she plays the female lead in "Nothing But Thirty", which was written by Senior Brother Cheng Xi himself.

If I could have this opportunity, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

As a result, both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

In the end, even Lin Zhen, under the influence of alcohol, directly held Wang Yifei's hand:
"Junior sister, I will definitely find you a role with more scenes."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

"Don't call me Director Lin, call me Senior Brother! We're all family!"

"Okay, Brother Lin!"

As Wang Yifei spoke, she forced herself to pull her hand out, suppressing her discomfort.

Although she knew that sleeping with the director was basically the norm in the entertainment industry.

The leading actors accompany the big directors and producers, while the minor actors probably just accompany some assistant directors like them.

But at this moment, she thought of Cheng Xi's big boy-like smile. Does he know about this?
Or is it just the default as is customary in the entertainment industry?
Jin Feiyu was a little unhappy at this time, but there was nothing he could do. He also wanted to join the crew and continue to be his assistant.

I looked at the time and it was half past seven, so I said:
"Director Lin, we're almost done with dinner. Do you want to organize some activities next?"

"Of course we have to organize an event, but the workload is heavy. I haven't finalized the cast yet, and the boss wants us to come up with a list soon."

"Look, Yifei, I'm a good match for you, so I'll give you another chance. What about your roommates? Call them all over and let Brother Zhen take a look. If there's a good match, I'll give you the nod on the spot."

When Wang Yifei heard what Lin Zhen said, she hesitated and didn't know how to respond.

Jin Feiyu interrupted and said:
"Director Lin, I heard from Yifei that they are all having a party tonight. There seem to be about a dozen people. They are playing some board games at the academy."

"Board games are great. Just thinking about a group of young people getting together makes it feel very youthful."

When Lin Zhen heard that there were more than a dozen female students from the acting department, he immediately became interested.

I am doing my job seriously, but besides doing my job well, I also took the opportunity to find a few actors to entertain me. That’s not too much, right?
Thinking of this, the so-called evening activities immediately lost their appeal in his eyes.

Jin Feiyu saw Lin Zhen's expression and knew what this man was thinking.

Isn't it the same as what I think?

So he looked at Wang Yifei and asked:

"Yifei, why don't you call them over?"

"There are more than a dozen of them. I don't know if it's convenient."

Wang Yifei wanted to confirm her role first, and then see if she could lead her roommates.

If Director Lin saw Meng Ziyi, would he forget about himself like Senior Brother Cheng Xi?

Jin Feiyu: "Yes, Senior Brother, how about tomorrow, I'll have them come over for you to see?"

Lin Zhen: "It's better to do it today than today. They are all in the academy, right? I haven't been back for a long time. I might as well go back today while I'm in high spirits and give my junior sisters a chance to improve."

After hearing this, Jin Feiyu and Wang Yifei were at their wit's end.

He had no choice but to call a designated driver and go to the college's bishop's building with Lin Zhen.

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

"Werewolf, please open your eyes. Werewolf, please kill."

"Prophet, please open your eyes. I will give you this gesture."

Meanwhile, in Class B202 of the Film Academy, Meng Ziyi and Lin Zi were playing Werewolf with a group of people.

Not to mention, they are fully equipped with license plate lights, small masks, police badges and so on.

The people who came here to gather included seniors and classmates, most of whom were from the acting department, and a few were from the directing department.

Lin Zi knew that Senior Brother Cheng Xi might come in the evening, so she was not concentrating while playing.

Even with my eyes closed, I held the phone tightly in my hand, for fear of missing any news from my senior brother.

Chen Yao: "I'm a prophet. I checked and killed No. 7 last night. It was definitely Iron Wolf."

Yang Caiyu: "They found me. I can't help it. I'm a villager. I won't change my identity to disrupt the good guys' perspective. Chen Yao is a tough guy. I saw my hand."

While others were speaking, Meng Ziyi suddenly received a call, said a few words, and then looked happy.

Then he told everyone:

"You guys just sit there first. I'm going to go out and pick someone up. I'll be right back."

When Lin Zi saw it, he immediately loosened his grip on the phone and felt uncomfortable.

It turns out that Senior Brother Cheng Xi still prefers to contact Ziyi. After all, she has a better temperament.

Many teachers in the acting department are also optimistic about her development.

But brother, you clearly contacted me, right?

Suddenly, her eyes almost became moist.

I feel aggrieved that my sincere feelings have been ignored.

Lin Zi, who originally wanted to go and greet his senior brother, did not stand up either.

A few minutes later, the door of B202 was opened again.

When Lin Zi saw that the person leading the group was not Meng Ziyi but Wang Yifei, she was stunned:
Didn’t Yifei go to meet the assistant casting director?
It's over so soon?
Soon after, Meng Ziyi also came in, followed by Jin Feiyu and two unfamiliar people.

Lin Zi thought:

It’s not Brother Cheng! ?
