Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

"Oranges and Luoxing" is still being broadcast.

Lin Yu ultimately did not retweet Li Yitong's Weibo post.

The haters on his Weibo are basically fans who can't beat Yang Mi in a direct confrontation, so they deliberately come to pick on her.

He didn't care about it; after all, controversy generates buzz these days.

Lin Yu also frequently used his own social media accounts to post seemingly objective but actually inflammatory content.

However, these haters are clearly not a good thing for Li Yitong or this short film.

It's worth mentioning that Yue Lina and her husband, along with Ju Xingmao, called him more than once to express their concerns.

Lin Yu, however, just smiled and said he didn't care.

Having lived an ordinary life in his previous life, now that he has been reborn, he doesn't want to live an ordinary life in this one as well.

He needs attention, and he can accept it whether it's black or white!

···

That day, Lin Yu had just finished filming when Xu Yan quickly walked up to him and handed him her phone.

"Boss, you just received a call. The contact name was Teacher Ma Xiaojing."

She spoke quickly.

Aside from emergency calls that come in seven or eight times in a row, neither managers nor assistants are allowed to answer calls from artists.

Lin Yu took the phone and waved his hand to dispel the beany smell from the tip of his nose—the smell of tofu that had been sitting for many days.

I dialed the number casually, and the phone was quickly answered after ringing for a while.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, sorry, I was just filming. You were looking for me?"

Lin Yu held his mentor, who had guided and mentored him, in the highest esteem.

Ma Xiaojing chuckled softly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're interested in making a movie."

"A movie? With him?" The first thought that crossed Lin Yu's mind was self-doubt.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his acting skills; he simply felt that given his current disrepute, what director would be so foolish as to hire him?

He's not one of those four "ice and snow" types. Although it's widely rumored that he's a "resource-backed" actor, he knows the truth in his heart.

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Yu asked tentatively, somewhat uncertainly.

Ma Xiaojing's tone was relaxed on the other end of the phone: "Why would I tease you? But don't even think about Zhang Yimou's film. He's already finished casting for his new movie. If I force you into it, people will hate me."

"..." Lin Yu suddenly fell silent.

He suddenly wanted to ask his mentor, "Who exactly are you?"

Does she mean that even if Zhang Yimou starts filming, she can still push herself into the project?

Could it be that I've really been kept by someone? Only, not Yang Mi, but his mentor?!

"Tell me, do you want to film it or not? But your first movie definitely can't be a major role, otherwise it will just make those haters on the internet happy."

Ma Xiaojing continued speaking, full of confidence.

With her abilities, she didn't just say that to pretend to be some big shot.

"Yes! Of course I want to!" Lin Yu replied quickly.

He really wanted to, and the big screen is undoubtedly every actor's dream, not because it's so sacred.

Simply because the big screen can really make someone famous!

It's important to know that Best Actor and Best Actress awards can only be won on the big screen.

The award for TV dramas only deserves to be called "Best Actor"!

As for the so-called top celebrities of later generations, they were mostly just people inside the industry entertaining themselves and people outside the industry having a physical obsession.

Lin Yu wouldn't dare say that the entertainment industry environment now is definitely better than in later years, but in terms of audience, the entertainment industry now is indeed still attracting public attention.

Instead of becoming a real circle like in later generations.

"That's good. To be more specific, it's a film by Ning Hao. It features a thug with a non-mainstream personality. There's not much of a plot, but he'll have some highlights. What do you think?"

Ma Xiaojing casually uttered a name in a flat tone.

As soon as that name appeared, time seemed to stand still. The sounds of the crew moving props, Director Huang calling out to the staff, and even the conversations of Li Lin and Jin Shijia, who were rehearsing their lines, all disappeared at that moment.

"Buzz, buzz." After the sound briefly disappeared from his ears, Lin Yu quickly came back to his senses!

Ning Hao – just by mentioning his name, many people might not know who he is.

But what if we add his representative works?

His appearance can be found in films such as "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racer", "No Man's Land", and even the later film "Dying to Survive".

Moreover, he is now the fourth director in China to have his films gross over 100 million yuan!

2013 was the year he was at the height of his popularity!

He'll make his own movie? And there will be highlights of the characters' storylines?

Although he's a minor character, this whole thing sounds a bit outrageous.

Recalling the online discussions about him and Yang Mi, Lin Yu just wanted to grab those haters by the collar.

Then, she put her mouth close to their ears and gritted her teeth, telling them: Yang Mi is nowhere near as fragrant as the teacher!

Although Yang Mi does smell quite nice, he didn't smell any foot odor.

"I...I understand. So when do I need to arrive?" Lin Yu asked, forcing himself to calm down.

Ma Xiaojing thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Before December, I heard you're filming right now, so there's no rush."

After a pause, as if flipping through a couple of pages, the person on the other end continued, "There's not much content for this role. I'll send you the complete script with your character marked later, so you can familiarize yourself with it."

"Thank you." Lin Yu uttered two words, even he didn't know what to say to Ma Xiaojing at this moment, so he could only say these two clumsy but sincere words.

"Alright, stop thanking me. Focus on filming. Let me know when filming wraps up, and I'll take you there."

After saying that, Ma Xiaojing hung up the phone quickly without waiting for Lin Yu to say anything more.

"Beep beep beep." The phone emitted a dial tone, and Lin Yu was stunned.

Xu Yan, standing to the side, was somewhat stunned.

"Boss...? What's wrong? Did something happen?"

She had never seen her boss like this before; it was as if she had been hit on the head by an invisible meteorite.

Xu Yan's cautious voice reached Lin Yu's ears, instantly snapping him out of his shock.

"Oh... I'm fine, I just received some news." Lin Yu didn't say this aloud.

The pie in the sky that his teacher had painted was really too big for someone as insignificant as him.

It was so big that even he himself could hardly believe it, so before things were confirmed, he decided to only tell a few people he could trust.

However, recalling the online discussions about him being a "resource card," Lin Yu's expression became somewhat strange.

He actually didn't really have any opinion on these speculations and rumors.

After all, although he did use some connections to get into the "Ancient Sword" production team, it was still a legitimate route within the industry.

He simply couldn't believe that there were so many production teams holding open casting calls!

As long as he regains popularity with "The Ferryman," these rumors will only become a minor setback in his journey.

It's just a baseless rumor; who would believe it?

It's worth noting that Yang Mi has never appeared in a Ning Hao movie!
