This director is so innocent.

The next day, in the morning.

The sun shone brightly, casting a golden glow.

Gao Yuanyuan stood in front of the full-length mirror, carefully applying lipstick, and gently patted her lips twice to make the lipstick more even.

She looked at her beautiful reflection in the mirror and smiled confidently.

"Watch me take him down."

"Miss, that's enough, it looks beautiful. If we don't leave soon, we'll be late," Liu Kai said speechlessly.

He arrived here around 8:30, and then watched Gao Yuanyuan spend half an hour doing her makeup and changing more than a dozen outfits.

"Let's go!" Gao Yuanyuan said with high spirits.

Along the way, Liu Kai demonstrated his driving skills to the fullest and finally arrived at Jianmu Media at 9:45.

After the two went upstairs, they explained their purpose to the receptionist, who then led them to a meeting room to wait.

After Huang Jiaqiang learned that the two had arrived, he went to Su Jin's office and called him to go to the conference room together.

"Ta-da..."

Su Jin knocked twice and then pushed open the conference room door.

Upon entering the conference room, his gaze was immediately drawn to a radiant woman.

Gao Yuanyuan was also looking at Su Jin, and she was particularly surprised. She really didn't expect Su Jin to be even more beautiful in person than in the photos.

We must take it down.

Liu Kai felt the same way. He was very envious of Su Jin's appearance. If he were that handsome, why would he be a manager?

"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm Yuanyuan's agent, Liu Kai," Liu Kai said with a smile, extending his hand.

"Hello." After shaking hands with him, Su Jin turned her gaze to Gao Yuanyuan and exclaimed, "I didn't expect Teacher Gao to be even more beautiful than in the TV series."

Upon hearing this compliment, Gao Yuanyuan shyly brushed one side of her hair back, a faint blush rising on her face.

Upon seeing this, Su Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder she's one of the must-have heroines in Chinese entertainment harem novels; she's truly beautiful. Why didn't he think of writing her back then!"

"Mr. Liu and Mr. Gao, please sit down and let's talk," Huang Jiaqiang said.

After everyone sat down, Su Jin cut to the chase without any pleasantries, saying to Gao Yuanyuan, "Teacher Gao, you must be quite satisfied with the script to be here today!"

"Mm." Gao Yuanyuan nodded.

"Do you have any questions about the script?" Su Jin asked.

"no."

"Okay, let's start the audition! Mr. Gao, you can choose any scene to act out."

"Then I'll choose the opening scene where Kang Chul takes Oh Yeon-joo shopping for clothes!" Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Ah!" Su Jin was a little confused.

No, what's up with Da Meiyuan?! Why would she choose this part?

If he remembers correctly, there seems to be a kissing scene in this part.

It wasn't a kiss, just a light peck.

In addition, Oh Yeon-joo slapped Kang Chul here.

Wu Yanzhu slapped Jiang Zhe because she wanted to return to the real world, and she thought that as long as Jiang Zhe's emotions fluctuated, she could go back.

Then they found that slapping didn't work, so they used kissing instead.

Liu Kai and Huang Jiaqiang were a little confused when they heard Su Jin's surprised voice. It was just a clip, why was Su Jin so surprised?

"No, I misspoke. It's not that scene. I wanted the scene after we bought the clothes." Gao Yuanyuan covered her face, extremely embarrassed, her toes practically digging out a four-bedroom apartment.

Oh my god! What stupid thing did I do? Why did I blurt out my innermost thoughts?

Su Jin smiled. He knew it! How could anyone ask to try a kissing scene during an audition? Turns out, he misspoke.

However, looking at Gao Yuanyuan's awkwardness, he felt that Wu Yanzhu was a good match for her.

The first requirement for a Korean drama heroine is that she is good-looking, and the second requirement is that she is playful and cute, and that her coquettishness and cuteness are not off-putting.

Here I must specifically criticize the Chinese version of "w-Two Worlds".

It's one thing that the male and female leads are ugly, but their attempts at acting cute and charming are just embarrassing to watch. What kind of nonsense is this?

Three minutes later, Gao Yuanyuan was ready, and Su Jin stepped forward to act.

But looking at the long lines in the script, he was a little confused. Was he auditioning for Gao Yuanyuan, or was Gao Yuanyuan auditioning for him?

"Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot." Gao Yuanyuan said, her hands outstretched as if holding a pistol, her voice trembling.

Seeing that Su Jin remained unmoved, she pointed the gun at the ceiling, closed her eyes, and pressed her finger down.

"Crack!"

"Pfft..." Su Jin couldn't help but laugh. This was too cute! He even gave himself a voiceover when he fired the gun.

Gao Yuanyuan was extremely embarrassed and wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

She never expected to be providing voiceover for a handgun.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Gao, let's start over," Su Jin said apologetically.

"A handgun needs bullets to fire! Don't you know that?"

"You know I hide a gun under my pillow..." Su Jin dodged the gun from Gao Yuanyuan's hand, turned around and walked a short distance away, took out bullets from her pocket, loaded them, and then aimed at Gao Yuanyuan.

……

Three minutes later, the audition was over.

Su Jin felt good; at least Gao Yuanyuan had portrayed Wu Yanzhu's fear of the gun very well.

The two returned to their seats, and Su Jin nodded slightly to Huang Jiaqiang.

Huang Jiaqiang understood and said to Liu Kai, "Mr. Liu, I wonder if Professor Gao will be available in March or April next year?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kai's spirits lifted instantly; it meant he had agreed.

"March and April are no problem at all; Yuanyuan has plenty of time available."

Huang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "We will produce 31 episodes of 'W - Two Worlds,' and the fee for Teacher Gao is 100,000 per episode. What do you think?"

"That's too high. Yuanyuan is still a second-tier actress and doesn't deserve this price. I think 70,000 per episode would be much better."

Su Jin and Huang Jiaqiang were dumbfounded. They had seen people voluntarily raise prices, but they had never seen anyone voluntarily lower prices.

What kind of operation is this?

Liu Kai smiled slightly. He was here today to do a favor, so he couldn't ask for 10 per episode, or it would become a business deal.

Besides, his artists are really not worth that price.

Currently, the price for a top-tier female celebrity is around 10 to 15 yuan per episode, while the price for a top-tier female celebrity is over 20 yuan per episode.

The price for a single episode of a second-tier production is between 50,000 and 100,000 yuan. For example, Yuanyuan's previous role in "The World's Number One" was 70,000 yuan per episode.

"Mr. Liu, this isn't a good idea! If word gets out that our company mistreats its artists and can't afford to pay them," Huang Jiaqiang said cautiously.

"Mr. Huang, it's settled then. Seventy thousand per episode. We also hope to have a larger production budget to improve the quality of the series." Liu Kai smiled broadly, appearing selfless.

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Liu. I'll go get the contract now." After saying that, Huang Jiaqiang went outside to get the contract, leaving Su Jin to chat with them.

"Teacher Gao..." Su Jin was interrupted by Gao Yuanyuan before she could finish speaking. The latter said:

"Let's stop calling each other 'teacher,' it sounds weird. I'm a few years older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Yuanyuan."

P.S.: I'll be testing the waters for promotion tomorrow. I really value reading the latest chapters now, so I hope everyone will turn to the last two pages, which is where your reading ranking is displayed.

Just turn to the next two pages, thank you.
