"What's the penalty for breach of contract?" Su Yu ignored Yang Yingying and asked Li Xinyan.
"There... there's no penalty, because I just became her assistant and haven't signed a contract yet."
In fact, Li Xinyan was only spotted by Yang Yingying while filming and wasn't officially her company's assistant.
"That's even better." Su Yu originally thought he might have to spend money, but now it seemed he had saved some.
"Li Xinyan, you'd better think it through," Yang Yingying's expression changed upon hearing this.
She didn't dare to scold Su Yu. After all, with Su Yu's current status in the music industry and his identity, even she wouldn't dare to provoke him.
She had capital behind her, but Su Yu had the king of the capital world, Emperor Entertainment, behind him!
Even without that, based on fan numbers alone, she suspected that all her fans abroad combined wouldn't match Tingyu's.
Moreover, the fighting power of Tingyu's fans was notorious.
"Sometimes, opportunities only come once," Su Yu said with a light smile, looking at Li Xinyan.
He had said these words to Jiang Xiao'e before.
And today, he said them to Li Xinyan as well.
Li Xinyan glanced at Yang Yingying, who was gritting her teeth, and then looked at Su Yu.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "I want to try!"
"Alright, then you come with me to the film and television department, and I'll have them arrange a screen test for you," Su Yu said, preparing to head back to the film and television department.
He was currently worrying about the female lead for "A Chinese Ghost Story" and unexpectedly met a suitable actress right at the company.
Not only that, but Li Xinyan also had a good understanding of Zi Xuan.
"Tingyu Teacher, I want to finish this last bit of work and deliver these to the car," Li Xinyan said, looking at Yang Yingying and the backpack behind her.
If Yang Yingying carried the backpack out herself, she would likely be subjected to all sorts of online speculation.
But if she went out with Yang Yingying, at least on the matter of being an assistant, there wouldn't be any such rumors.
"Okay, go ahead," Su Yu nodded.
...
Yang Yingying never had a chance to say a word to him. She felt like a transparent person in Su Yu's eyes.
Having always been showered with attention, she was filled with anger, but what made her feel even worse was that she couldn't vent it.
Yang Yingying and Li Xinyan didn't speak a word during the entire journey.
As usual, Li Xinyan pressed the elevator button.
Yang Yingying followed behind her.
They arrived at the parking lot. Yang Yingying got into the business car first. Li Xinyan placed the backpack on her back into the rear seat of the car.
The driver started the car.
"Slap!"
At that moment, a crisp sound echoed within the car.
Li Xinyan covered her face but had a smile on her lips.
"Because of you, I have this opportunity. This slap is my repayment to you," she said, then got out of the car, closed the door, and walked back towards Xinghui.
Her steps gradually became lighter.
"Drive!" Yang Yingying said through gritted teeth.
She never imagined that after coming for the audition full of confidence today, she wouldn't even get a chance to audition because she couldn't answer questions, and her assistant had gained Tingyu's favor and secured an audition opportunity.
Although Tingyu was from the music industry, everyone knew what he represented at Xinghui. If he said he could give Li Xinyan a chance to audition, then there definitely would be one.
Yang Yingying knew Li Xinyan's capabilities. If it were just about acting, Li Xinyan definitely had the talent to play the lead role. This was also why she insisted on having Li Xinyan as her assistant and keeping her by her side; she needed Li Xinyan to help her improve her acting. Da Feng Novel Network.
...
Xinghui.
Film and Television Department.
Su Yu looked at Li Xinyan, who had signed the contract, and nodded with satisfaction.
The screen test just now had surprised Su Yu greatly. As expected of a graduate from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she had interpreted the role of Zi Xuan exceptionally well.
Furthermore, she had also tried on Nie Xiaoqian's makeup and looked very suitable.
Upon hearing Su Yu say that she could film two dramas simultaneously, Li Xinyan felt as if she were dreaming.
One was a supporting role in a TV series, and the other was a lead role in a movie. The screenwriter for both was the currently popular Jiangnan, and the directors were Zhang Li and Gu Qianqian, both with very high current popularity.
She felt like she had struck it rich this time.
Even after signing the contract, her head was still spinning.
From being unable to get any roles to this sudden shift in resources, she wouldn't have dared to dream of such a thing.
After all, these resources would make even A-list actors incredibly envious!
"Alright, I'll have Director Gu give you the script for 'A Chinese Ghost Story' later. You can study the role and then start filming the movie first. For the TV series, they can adjust the schedule and shoot your parts after you finish the movie."
The TV series wasn't filmed in chronological order. It was possible that the finale would be filmed first. This required the crew to make adjustments based on factors like weather and location.
Therefore, it was entirely possible to arrange the actors' schedules for both dramas separately.
"Mhm, thank you, Teacher Tingyu!!" Li Xinyan nodded her head like a pecking chick.
At the same time, Zhang Li also walked over.
"Su Yu, the screen test is done," he said cheerfully.
"Who is the actor for Xu Changqing?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Li Xinyan also looked at Zhang Li with curiosity.
After all, that actor would be her scene partner.
"It's a third-tier actor named Huo Donghua. I thought his performance was excellent, so I chose him. Do you want to review the footage again and reconsider?"
When Zhang Li watched Huo Donghua's performance during the screen test, he was immediately astonished. Amidst the surprised gazes of many popular stars, he directly selected him as the actor for Xu Changqing.
"If Director Zhang says he's excellent, then there's definitely no problem. You can make the decision. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. Oh, and please help her find Gu Qianqian to get the script."
It was almost time, and everything regarding the film and television department had been arranged. Su Yu still had to rush back to Kyoto to participate in the recording of "Masked Singer."
There were already many speculations online about the "Dark Night Rabbit," and many people were guessing it was him.
However, Su Yu wasn't worried at all because he would be singing two Vietnamese songs in this episode. With the "All Languages Proficient" skill, his Vietnamese pronunciation was standard enough to shock everyone who guessed he was Tingyu.
Watching Su Yu's retreating back, Zhang Li suddenly smiled.
This feeling of being trusted made him feel very good and immediately filled him with motivation.
He was one step closer to becoming a "divine artifact"!
Keep going!
"You are Li Xinyan?" Zhang Li adjusted his expression and looked at the somewhat reserved girl beside him.
Su Yu had already informed him via WeChat that he didn't need to screen test for the role of Zi Xuan, as it was already decided.
"Ye... yes," Li Xinyan nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Director Gu," Zhang Li said with a smile and walked out.
Li Xinyan quickly followed.
However, she grew increasingly puzzled. Why would Director Zhang seek Teacher Tingyu's opinion for casting?
And it seemed like both directors were listening to his arrangements.
Could it be!
Li Xinyan thought of a possibility.
A hint of dread flashed in her eyes!
...
ps: The cast is still being assembled, so there will be more foreshadowing. Please understand, as I don't want to cast just any random passerby as the protagonist, which would be uninteresting for you to watch, right? The next part will be about the music industry, thank you for your support!!
