Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

"...Okay, I understand, Mr. Yu. I won't have any other thoughts."

Lin Yu hung up the phone with Yu Zheng, finally understanding what Yang Mi had said.

His character is indeed defined as the second male lead in the script.

Originally, Yu Zheng intended to give this role to a very popular actor in the industry in order to promote the male lead.

However, he couldn't resist Yang Mi's determination to push Lin Yu into the production even if it meant using personal connections, so he had no choice but to agree.

However, he didn't want to give up being a popular male star, since he was a guarantee of high viewership for the series.

So, he simply made a sweeping decision to lower Lin Yu's billing and cut several scenes from the script, making the character a nominal third male lead.

But in terms of screen time, his character is actually the second male lead.

In this way, he could reduce Lin Yu's salary, give Yang Mi face, and avoid offending anyone. Why wouldn't he do it?

After all, Lin Yu is a newcomer. Even if a web series is about to be broadcast, it would be shockingly high to ask for 50 yuan per episode right off the bat.

That's not how you bet!

The price Yu Zheng is offering now is 80,000 per episode, which is quite fair and even generous.

After all, he has quite a lot of screen time; he probably appears in 40 out of the 42 episodes.

After deducting commissions and taxes, he'll probably get at least 260 or 270,000!

As for the audition? Yu Zheng didn't mention it, and Lin Yu didn't ask either.

If Lin Yu's acting skills are lacking, does that mean we should reject him out of consideration for Yang Mi's feelings and personal connections?

Stop joking around, we're all seasoned veterans in this industry.

Besides, Lin Yu has acted in quite a few dramas, so even if his acting skills are just average, they are at least passable!

Xu Yan watched silently as Lin Yu hung up the phone, feeling completely bewildered.

So this is connected to Yu Zheng's drama? Or is he the third male lead with the second most screen time after the male lead?

That's normal... normal my foot!

That's Yu Zheng, the very popular Yu Zheng right now.

This is a top-tier producer who has launched the careers of stars like Zhao Xiaodao and Yang Mi!

In this industry, who knows how many actresses would rather pack themselves up and send themselves to someone's bed in exchange for a chance to become a sensation?

However, they were unable to proceed due to the other person's sexual orientation...

Hmm, now that I think about it, could it be that the other party has taken a liking to my boss?

After all, her boss's charm was indeed frighteningly high; so many beautiful young ladies looked at him differently, so it was understandable that he would attract a man.

"You heard everything?" Lin Yu waved his phone, glanced at his manager who was suddenly lost in thought, and spoke calmly.

Xu Yan nodded blankly: "I heard it."

"Then get ready, our trip is over. Go back and pack your bags, work is coming!" Lin Yu waved his hand.

Xu Yan nodded quickly, her face full of joy.

She'd had enough of this damn travel.

2014, April 1.

Lin Yu and Xu Yan, who had only been away from Hengdian for less than two months, landed in Hengdian again.

Lin Yu looked at the several people in front of him who looked quite familiar, and was slightly surprised.

He hadn't seen this show in his previous life, so naturally he had no impression of it.

Looking at the current lineup, it's surprising that Tian from Bingxueweitian is in this group.

Judging from the seating arrangement, there's no doubt that it's still the female lead!

He's the male lead in this drama...

Lin Yu looked him over carefully and confirmed that he was the artist who would later be blacklisted for his crooked posture. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Another biased production that will be banned in the future. It seems this show will most likely be taken down as well."

So, this seems to be the second film he's made that has been banned.

He's only filmed four TV series so far, it feels like he's awakened some kind of extraordinary constitution.

However, he is just a newcomer now. At most, he has better resources, but he doesn't have much choice.

Let them ban us, as long as we get our paychecks!

"President Yu! It's been a long time." Lin Yu said excitedly, taking a few quick steps to shake hands with Yu Zheng.

"Kobayashi, it's been a long time indeed. The last time we met, I mentioned wanting to cast you in a movie, but I think it was for the second male lead."

Yu Zheng's initiative in bringing up their previous meeting was a positive signal to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Yes, I'm a little curious too. Who is this person that President Yu thinks so highly of? Could it be someone more handsome than me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiahang, who was sitting in a chair in the conference hall, was stunned, and his face turned red.

He was quite confident when he first met the male lead of the show, and even told his wife that he was the most handsome man in the crew.

Then, someone who was completely more beautiful than him appeared!

And looking at that figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he even wanted to ask the other person how they trained!

Hearing this, Li Jiahang naturally couldn't sit still.

He stood up and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Hey, stop teasing me. I'm just a few years older than you and have acted in more movies. In our crew, Xiao Zhang is much better than me." As he spoke, he pointed to the boy sitting not far away.

Unsurprisingly, the topic was shifted to the male lead of the film crew sitting to the side.

Lin Yu glanced at the other person, gave him a slight smile, and had no intention of having a deeper conversation.

He didn't really like this kind of biased attitude, but since the other party was now Yu Zheng's artist, he would give him some face.

"Hey, Brother Li, being liked by so many people is a skill in itself. In our line of work, we rely on the audience's liking." Lin Yu greeted him politely.

After he smiled and waved to sit down, Lin Yu turned to look at a girl who had walked up.

"Teacher Jing Tian, ​​I've heard so much about you." Lin Yu smiled and extended his hand.

Jing Tian tilted her head, a slight smile playing on her lively face: "Famous name? More like infamy. I'm not popular with the audience."

Lin Yu's professional smile froze for a moment, and his lips stiffened slightly.

He turned to look at Yu Zheng and saw him holding his forehead, looking helplessly at Jing Tian.

"That's just Jing Tian's personality, she's a bit straightforward, don't take it to heart," Yu Zheng said quietly, pulling Lin Yu away from his side.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu looked somewhat enlightened.

This is normal, after all, this person is a true second-generation rich kid!

The title of "resource expert" is hardly enough to describe her, so it's not surprising that she developed this kind of personality.

Lin Yu happens to have a lot of experience dealing with these second-generation rich kids.

"Netizens online do have a lot of misunderstandings about you, but I've read those comments. They say all sorts of things, but no one says you're ugly."

Lin Yu laughed, his words straightforward.

Jing Tian's face froze for a moment, but the corners of her mouth quickly turned up, almost impossible to suppress.

Her manager, who was standing next to her, suddenly looked rather grim, and his eyes turned wary as he looked at Lin Yu.
