Huayu is here for you

Chapter 129 You haven't forgotten, have you?

Lin Yu closed his eyes, his mind filled with endless thoughts, like a turbulent ocean, unable to calm down. His father's last words to him kept swirling in his mind, refusing to stop.

Unable to sleep, he lay in bed, eyes open, gazing at the night outside the window, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, as if his body and soul had been separated, trapped in an endless state of drifting.

"Dad! You've really surprised me today! I never noticed how much you loved to 'meddle' in other people's business back in my past life. But—I admire you even more now!"

The next day, after waking up and having breakfast, Lin Yu drove to the company.

The second trailer for "The Witch" has also been released. Although it is only a few dozen seconds long, just like the first one, the reaction it has caused is no less than that of "Assembly," which has already gained popularity in China.

Moreover, the moment the second trailer for Starlight was released, the film's promotion was officially put on the agenda.

Audiences and the media are also full of expectations for Lin Yu's movie. However, they are disappointed that Lin Yu has not yet announced the official release date. But this does not affect their enthusiasm. After all, two trailers have been released. How long until the official release of the film?

While Lin Yu was promoting "The Witch," Luo Jin and Miss Liu officially announced their joining Starlight Entertainment.

Lin Yu had originally thought of letting them announce it a little later, one or two months after the second trailer for "The Witch" was released, so that the movie could maintain some buzz. However, after careful consideration, he gave up on this idea. After all, he didn't need that kind of buzz anymore. With the current enthusiasm of the audience, it was enough to sustain the film until its release.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu's senior fellow apprentice, Chen Kaige, has returned to the biographical film genre with "Mei Lanfang," which has been in production for nearly two months. However, given Director Chen's filming habits, Lin Yu estimates that he won't be able to finish filming anytime soon.

When Lin Yu arrived at Xingguang today, he immediately called Luo Jin to his office. Because of what Lin's father said yesterday, he had a small idea in his mind. He also wanted to make a biographical film like Chen Kaige. He was now thinking about whether Luo Jin was suitable!

"Luo Jin, there should be a Zhongshan suit in the company's dressing room. Go change into one and let me see." Lin Yu stared at the somewhat bewildered Luo Jin for a dozen seconds before slowly saying, "Huh? -- Oh, okay, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."

After Luo Jin turned around and went out to change his clothes, Lin Yu was also twirling the pen in his hand, his mind constantly replaying a movie he had seen in his previous life.

There are currently five artists under Starlight Entertainment: Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Shu Chang, Luo Jin, and Liu Gu Niang. However, they don't usually stay at the company. When they have roles, they go out to film, and when they don't, they go out to do announcements, endorsements, and various commercial activities.

In any case, Lin Yu's management of them is quite lenient, and Luo Jin's presence today was only possible because Lin Yu had informed him in advance. Otherwise, given that Luo Jin had just acted in Lin Yu's film and joined Starlight Media, he would have received no shortage of scripts.

Don't you see—none of them showed up today except for Luo Jin?

Miss Liu is a bit special. She hasn't taken on any acting roles or gigs these days, but she's a bit of a homebody and even more laid-back than Shu Chang. After being tired for so long, she finally has a chance to rest, and she's too lazy to move around anymore.

A short while later, Luo Jin, having changed his clothes, walked back into Lin Yu's office.

"Mr. Lin, why did you make me wear this?" Luo Jin asked, looking puzzled. "I've come up with a script, and I'm seeing if you're suitable." Lin Yu carefully observed Luo Jin and said calmly:

Luo Jin was overjoyed to hear this. He hadn't expected that Lin Yu would value him so much so soon after he joined the company, with one movie after another coming his way.

"President Lin? Is he the lead actor?" Luo Jin probed slightly. "Yes, kind of the male lead! It's a biographical drama." Lin Yu stroked his chin and smiled. "Who is it?"

"Old Qian!"

"Old Qian? President Lin, who is Old Qian? — Hiss! You're not talking about that person, are you?" Luo Jin suddenly realized something.

"Hehe—yes, it's the one you're thinking of!"

"Director Lin, are you really going to film him? Can I handle it?" Luo Jin asked in surprise, as if something was stuck in his throat. "Hehe—whether it's okay or not isn't up to me. It depends on what Professor Qian thinks. Get ready, you'll come with me to meet him later. The application has been approved, and Professor Qian agreed to see me today." Lin Yu put down the pen he was still spinning, stood up, and said:

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Luo Jin swallowed nervously. "Okay, okay, Mr. Lin, I'll go prepare right away."

After Luo Jin left, Lin Yu also picked up the pre-printed script from the table, silently staring at the title of the script, lost in thought.

But before he could even lose focus for a few seconds, his phone rang.

"Hey? Who is this?" Lin Yu answered the phone without even looking at the screen, his eyes still lingering on the script cover.

"It's me, Director Lin."

"Oh? Brother, what a rare guest! What can I do for you?"

Hearing Lin Yu's nonchalant voice, Cheng Long on the other end of the phone was completely dumbfounded! "What the hell? Didn't you already agree to make a movie for me? I've been waiting for over half a year, and this is what you're telling me?"

"Ahem—Director Lin, did you forget something?" Jackie Chan said, somewhat speechless, "Huh? Forgot what?"

"You promised me a movie! Director Lin, it's been over half a year, is the script even finished? You haven't forgotten, have you?" Jackie Chan said, somewhat indignantly.

Lin Yu, holding the phone, was a little dumbfounded. It seemed like there was such a thing?

"Ah—it's out, it's out! Big brother, don't worry. I didn't realize it for a moment, I thought you wanted to talk to me about something!" Lin Yu touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and said, "Phew—Director Lin, you scared me! I thought you were going to stand me up! What's the movie called? What genre is it? When are you planning to start filming?" Cheng Long asked impatiently.

After calming himself down, Lin Yu, feeling embarrassed, recalled the script he had registered in advance. He also remembered that he had promised Miss Liu that he would also act in this movie.

"Hmm—it's called 'Wanted,' a popcorn-style action movie, perfect for your acting style, brother." Lin Yu said after considering it. "Wow! This name sounds like a great movie! Haha—Director Lin, you haven't told me when filming starts yet?" Cheng Long smiled and said, relieved, "What? Have you got another movie offers?"

"Hehe—yes, they already contacted me when you were still filming 'The Witch,' but I was waiting for your news, Director Lin, because I was afraid you'd start filming right away after finishing the script, so I kept putting it off. But recently, I really can't keep delaying any longer; they're pressuring me too much. If it really doesn't work out, they're even considering replacing me!" Jackie Chan explained.

Lin Yu: ? ? ?
