Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

"Crunch."

As the office door opened, Lin Yu followed Guo Shimin into the room, where he was greeted by three men besides Guo Shimin.

A man with buck teeth and a sunken face, quite distinctive in appearance, was none other than Ju Xingmao, whose stage name was Manyi.

He was the director of one of the wildly popular "Tang Ghost" series in his previous life, and in later life he can be considered a key figure in Guo's troupe.

In addition, he was an actor before becoming a director, so Lin Yu was the most familiar with him.

Sitting to his right was a slightly muscular, middle-aged man with a composed face.

He is Guo Jingyu, the founder and actual controller of Yuanmei Jianxin, the actual producer of the "Tang Gui" series, and the true leader of the Guo family team.

Sitting to Ju Xingmao's left was a man with long hair, a cold and aloof face, who seemed somewhat unapproachable.

Lin Yu had never met this person in his previous life, but considering the current situation and some information he had collected privately, he recognized him.

That man must be Xiao Jixiangtian, the screenwriter of the "Soul Ferry" series.

Standing in the center of the room, Lin Yu looked at the people sitting in front of him, but his heart was calm.

These people would later become big names in the entertainment industry, but for Lin Yu, they were at most just novelties.

After all, even the biggest boss can't just reincarnate like him, right?

As Lin Yu stepped in, Guo Jingyu and Xiao Jixiangtian were the first to frown.

The reason is simple: he's too handsome!

Although Xia Dongqing in the drama is not an ugly man, he is, after all, a graduate student who often stays up all night to prepare for the college entrance examination.

And Lin Yu? He has red lips, white teeth, and delicate features. His face is flawless, without a single blemish.

Even if we don't say he had a face like jade, it's not something that can be fully described with just the words "handsome and dashing".

"Hello, Mr. Guo, Director Ju, Director Shi Min, and screenwriter." As Guo Shi Min sat back down, Lin Yu also spoke up, greeting them one by one.

Hearing Lin Yu's series of greetings, Guo Jingyu quickly suppressed her doubts and looked at Lin Yu with some surprise.

"It's not surprising that you know us, but I'm curious how you know him," Guo Jingyu said in surprise, pointing her finger at Xiao Jixiangtian beside her.

Lin Yu remained calm and composed when asked the question.

"Mr. Guo, I don't know him, but the director and producer of this production are right in front of me. And isn't that screenwriter Jiang over there?"

Hearing this, Guo Jingyu was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle and said, "So you were just guessing? What if the person sitting next to you was a producer or something?"

Lin Yu smiled nonchalantly: "Then I guessed wrong."

Upon hearing this answer, Guo Jingyu developed a slight liking for the young man in front of her.

After all, in today's entertainment industry, skills like acting and singing are not the only criteria for judging success.

Emotional intelligence, IQ, and comprehension are all more important than acting skills!

While this may sound ironic, it is a true reflection of the current state of the acting profession.

Being good at networking is often more advantageous than being good at acting.

After a brief chat, Guo Jingyu straightened her expression and said calmly, "Since you already know us, why don't you introduce yourself first?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Hello, teachers. My name is Lin Yu. I am a senior at Beijing Film Academy. I don't have a representative work that I can name yet, but I believe this drama will be my representative work."

Everyone nodded. The resume was unremarkable, with nothing particularly outstanding, but nothing that would detract from it either.

Many people in this world think that getting into film school means they can debut as actors and become stars, but in reality, it's just an entry-level requirement.

Every year, many students graduate from the Beijing Film Academy, but very few of them actually appear in public.

After a brief self-introduction, Guo Jingyu then opened Lin Yu's basic information: "You should have received the script after passing the written test. Now, can you explain your understanding of the character Xia Dongqing from the perspective of the script?"

Lin Yu nodded, feeling completely at ease. These were just some basic questions from the audition, which he was extremely familiar with after working on thousands of film sets in his previous life.

Moreover, this film crew is not like the kind of crew in later years that selects bed partners for directors or producers!

He had made extensive preparations for this role long ago!

Composing himself, Lin Yu exhaled and quickly began his explanation.

"If we compare the whole plot to a ship, then Wang Xiaoya is the sail that floats back and forth, Zhao Li is the oar that propels it forward, and Xia Dongqing is the ballast stone..."

Upon hearing this, the screenwriter Xiao Jixiangtian was taken aback, then turned to look at Lin Yu with a slightly surprised expression.

Guo Jingyu was also taken aback when he heard this. A burst of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it!

"...Xia Dongqing's defining characteristic is his poverty. Coupled with his eye problems and his experiences from childhood, he actually has a significant element of inferiority complex in his nature."

"But his experience as an orphan from a young age also gave him the confidence and energy to face anything."

Lin Yu spoke fluently, his face full of ease.

He went through everything from the attributes he played in the plot to the character settings, almost completely exposing Xia Dongqing's true colors.

After all, he had actually watched the show "Soul Ferry" several times in his previous life. If he were to talk about his understanding of Xia Dongqing, wouldn't that just be copying the answer?

"...That's my understanding of the character Xia Dongqing and a brief biography of him."

After recounting a vivid and moving short story about a character, Lin Yu silently took a deep breath.

It was quite difficult and mentally taxing to fully articulate my understanding of that passage, which was delivered entirely without notes.

However, judging from the ecstatic gleam on Ju Xingmao's lewd face, what he said seemed to be quite good.

"Okay, okay!!" Two "okay"s came out of Xiao Jixiangtian's mouth.

Lin Yu's understanding of Xia Dongqing's character was mostly in his mind, but he hadn't even thought about the other part!

This gave him a feeling of finding a kindred spirit amidst towering mountains and flowing water!

As a foreigner who admires the traditional culture of flower cultivation, he seems to be quite fascinated by this feeling.

Hearing Xiao Jixiangtian's praise, Lin Yu's face unconsciously showed a hint of joy.

He seemed to already see Xia Dongqing waving at him!

"Ahem." Guo Jingyu suddenly spoke, clearing his throat.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jixiangtian's face stiffened, and he remained silent.

Lin Yu was also taken aback, but quickly composed himself and resumed his serious expression!

After all, he had never played a leading role in either his past or present life, so he couldn't help feeling a little smug just now.

Fortunately, he had the life experience from his previous life to support him, which helped him quickly return to a normal state of mind.
