Huayu: The young actress is heavily dependent on me

A ray of morning light pierced through the gap in the curtains. Fan Bingbing lazily shifted her position, her slender fingers casually tracing circles on Chen Li's chest.

"Little brother, I haven't asked your name yet~"

My name is Chen Li.

"Hmm, good name, I'll remember it."

Fan Bingbing smiled slightly and snuggled into Chen Li's arms.

"I'll keep the copyright to that song. Name your price, or... we'll have plenty of opportunities for 'in-depth discussions' in the future."

She had a good impression of Chen Li, a young man with no background, and was satisfied with him in every way.

He's a good candidate for the entertainment industry.

"Sister Fan, the song is easy to discuss, but I have another request. I hope you can give me a chance."

"What opportunity?"

"I want to audition, and I hope Sister Fan can give me a chance to showcase myself."

Chen Li took her hand and smiled.

Seeing that Chen Li was still thinking about important matters at this time, Fan Bingbing looked at him with new respect.

For her, let alone introducing a newcomer to audition, even if she directly cast this minor supporting role, the other party would never refuse.

The key question is whether this newcomer is worth it.

She greatly admired Chen Li, who possessed both eloquence and shrewdness, and even sang quite well.

However, she really didn't know anything about his acting skills, so she could only say that she would give him a chance to try.

If it's gold, it will naturally shine.

She propped herself up halfway, and the silky satin quilt slipped down, revealing her smooth, fragrant shoulders.

"In the case of 'The Empress of China,' the plot holes for the characters have basically been filled."

"However, I recently heard some news that Shandong Film and Television is preparing a big production called 'Nirvana in Fire,' and the director is Kong Sheng."

Chen Li's heart skipped a beat; that was a future blockbuster drama!

"The lead role in this drama was decided long ago by Hu Ge."

As Fan Bingbing spoke, she got out of bed, casually draped a burgundy bathrobe over her shoulders, and her aura instantly became aloof.

"However, there is a young Lin Shu in the play. He doesn't have many scenes, but he is very outstanding. The actor needs to have both the heroic spirit of a young general and the amazing feeling of high spirits."

"I think your face... is good enough."

She turned around, pulled a business card from her designer bag, and tossed it to Chen Li.

"Thank you, Sister Fan!" Chen Li suppressed her joy and accepted the business card with both hands.

"Don't thank me yet..." Fan Bingbing said calmly, changing her tone.

"I can introduce you to the assistant director. But Chen Li, remember this: the people at Shandong Film Studio are notoriously inflexible; they only care about acting skills, not looks. I'm just giving you a stepping stone. Whether you can land the role depends on your own abilities."

"If you mess up the audition, I won't clean up your mess, understand?"

Fan Bingbing walked to the window, her back to Chen Li, and her tone suddenly turned cold, carrying a hint of warning:

"And also, about last night..."

"I understand, Sister Fan. I'm just a student from Beijing Film Academy who works at a bar. I slept so soundly last night that I had a really beautiful dream, but I forgot about it as soon as I woke up."

Fan Bingbing nodded in satisfaction.

This kid is quite sensible; it's so easy to talk to smart people.

[Successfully completed the task and secured the audition opportunity]

[Reward: Perfect Role-Playing Card *1]

[Use this card to perfectly embody a specific role and permanently possess all the skills and knowledge required for that role.]

Is it really that invincible?

Does that mean that as long as you use this card, you can play similar roles in the future?

Chen Li stared in disbelief as the system interface slowly disappeared from his view.

The following auditions were a piece of cake!

"What's wrong? Why are you standing there dumbfounded?"

Seeing Chen Li staring blankly ahead, Fan Bingbing asked curiously.

Chen Li snapped out of her daze and smiled slightly as she watched Fan Xiaopang walk gracefully toward her.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little bit smitten with Sister Fan."

"Ugh, so glib!"

Fan Bingbing playfully punched Chen Li, then pulled him back to the old battlefield.

"In that case, let's do it a few more times..."

......

Chen Li sat in a Starbucks downstairs in the CBD, her fingertips tracing the business card with the contact information of the assistant director of Shandong Film Studio, and dialed the number.

The phone was answered after ringing twice, and a calm and capable male voice came from the other end.

"Hello, I am Liu Yuan, the assistant director of the 'Nirvana in Fire' drama series."

"Hello Director Liu, I'm Chen Li. I was introduced by Sister Fan. I'd like to audition for the role of young Lin Shu."

"Chen Li, right? I know you."

Liu Yuan's voice carried a hint of resistance.

"Sister Fan has put in a good word, and Director Kong has agreed to give you an audition opportunity. But let me make this clear from the start..."

"But what?" Chen Li picked up his iced Americano and took a sip, his tone calm and unperturbed.

"Director Kong said that the role of young Lin Shu, despite having few scenes, requires the most outstanding performance in the entire production team."

"It must have the youthful spirit of the Red Flame Young Marshal, as well as the killing intent of a soldier who has been on the battlefield."

Liu Yuan's tone was stiff.

"Director Kong asked me to pass on a message to you: if you're just here to use your connections to get some recognition, you shouldn't have made this trip to Hengdian in the first place."

"To avoid embarrassing everyone if we fail the audition, and also to save face for Sister Fan."

That was a sharp remark, showing absolutely no leniency to the matchmaker, Fan Bingbing.

Chen Li chuckled softly, showing no anger whatsoever.

now it's right.

If Kong Sheng were the kind of director who would give in to pressure from capital, "Nirvana in Fire" wouldn't have become the masterpiece of Chinese drama that it later became.

"Don't worry, Director Liu, I'm not just here for fun." Chen Li's tone was firm.

"Could you please tell me the time and place of the audition?"

"10 AM the day after tomorrow, Hengdian, Qin Palace Scenic Area."

Liu Yuan paused, then added, "Don't be late. Director Kong hates people who aren't punctual."

"Understood, thank you Director Liu."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li tapped on the ticket booking interface that had just popped up on her phone and whispered:

"Book the tickets! I'm determined to get the role of young Lin Shu in 'Nirvana in Fire'."

Just then, Chen Li caught a glimpse of something bright out of the corner of his eye.

It was a girl wearing a pink down jacket, holding a cup of coffee, standing less than two meters away from him.

She blinked, pretending to stare out the window, but her ears were practically perked up in front of him.

Chen Li glanced at her without making a sound and recognized her instantly.

Isn't that Meng Ziyi?!

Sister Meng is known as the Nightingale of Chinese Entertainment and the Deadly Diva.

Speaking of which, Sister Meng and I were both in the class of 13.

However, Sister Meng was in Class 2 of the undergraduate program, while Chen Li was in Class 3, so the two didn't interact much.

At this time, Sister Meng was still quite naive, with a clear sense of foolishness in her eyes.

Chen Li was immediately speechless.

Can you act a little more professionally?

Even a fool could tell you were eavesdropping!
