HuaYu: A Great Director Starting with Dream of the Red Chamber

Li Yan turned and walked in that direction.

Seeing this, Ge Tian also picked up his wine cup and followed.

Following Li Yan's gaze, she chuckled softly and leaned close to his ear:

"Senior brother has a sharp eye! That's a newcomer, a girl from Xinjiang, her name is Nazar."

"Her looks are undeniable," she said, pointing to her head.

"She's just not very bright, and she's desperate to become famous, but she doesn't know how to do it. Several bosses want to take her away, and she just sits there grinning like an idiot. I don't know if she's really stupid or just pretending."

Li Yan didn't say anything and walked straight to Nazha.

Naza was lowering his head, mentally encouraging himself:

Gulnazar, you are the most beautiful! You must meet a great director, and then soar to great heights like Yang Mi, silencing all those who look down on you!

Suddenly, a pair of shiny leather shoes came into view, and above them was a sharp gray suit and a tall, slender figure.

She looked up abruptly, her breath catching in her throat.

...So handsome!

The man in front of me had handsome features and a smile on his lips; he was a hundred times more handsome than the male models in magazines!

As a seasoned person who is obsessed with good looks, Naza's brain froze for a second.

Then, she recognized the face.

Li Yan is the director who made Yang Mi incredibly famous!

The opportunity has arrived...

Naza's heart pounded wildly, her mind frantically recalling the "Thirty-Six Strategies for Flirting with Men" she had learned online.

Your eyes should be dreamy, your voice deep, and your smile mysterious...

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her excitement, and turned slightly to the side.

This is her best profile view. Then, she slowly raised her eyelids and said in what she thought was a very sexy voice:

"Hi... Director Li?"

The voice was lowered, but because of the tension, the last syllable split, turning into a whimper like a puppy being choked.

"puff……"

Ge Tian, ​​who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her fair and delicate face flushed bright red instantly, the redness spreading from her neck all the way to the back of her ears.

Her aloof demeanor vanished instantly, leaving her standing there helplessly, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"Ahem... Hello."

Li Yan suppressed a laugh and said gently, as if nothing had happened:

"I am Li Yan, and I am a director."

Naza quickly stood up straight, and like a primary school student, he stammered as he tried to make amends:

"I...I know you! The guy you photographed was really good-looking! Yang Mi's was...especially beautiful! I...I'm Gulnazar, I'm a...um, a professional model."

When it came to his profession, he even puffed out his not-so-small chest, trying to save face.

"Yes, very good."

Li Yan nodded and got straight to the point:

"I have a short film that needs a role, and I think your image is perfect. Are you interested?"

"Yes! I'm interested!"

Without a second thought, Naza nodded rapidly, his eyes gleaming.

This is an invitation from the hottest director right now, and the director is so handsome!

Isn't this the legendary unspoken rule... oops, I mean, talent scout?

Her little thoughts were written all over her face.

Seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought, Li Yan took the initiative to speak:

"Aren't you going to ask what role it is?"

"I can do any role! I... I can endure a lot of hardship."

After Naza finished speaking with great confidence, she secretly glanced at Li Yan and added in her mind: "A romantic subplot is also acceptable."

"No hardship is required, and no acting skills are needed."

Li Yan smiled and looked her over carefully. This girl's looks were truly stunning!

"It's a 'pretty face' role. The character is a dance student. All you need to do is be beautiful and make the audience drool. I think you have great looks, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"A vase?" Naza was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

She was also afraid that the director would ask her to act out some kind of inner monologue, but she didn't know how to do that.

She's incredibly confident in her ability to be beautiful!

"No problem! Director, don't worry, my forte is beauty!"

Naza was bursting with confidence, feeling that she was destined for stardom.

Ge Tian, ​​standing nearby, was rather annoyed. She had been pestering Li Yan all day because a friend had told her that Li Yan was preparing to shoot a short film for an award, and she wanted to try her luck, but...

Looking at Naza's silly expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and chime in:

"Little sister, Director Li is aiming to win an award for this film; so many people would kill for it."

"I know, I know, thank you, sister!" Naza said gratefully.

"However," Li Yan changed the subject, "there's a scene where I need to wear less clothing."

Naza's smile froze instantly, and the fine hairs on the tips of her ears stood up immediately:

"How much is 'less...less'?"

"The character is being spied on by the male lead. There's a scene where she has to appear from behind, and she's wearing underwear."

"underwear?!"

Naza instinctively gasped and took a step back, his previous ambition turning into turmoil.

She really wanted to become famous and wanted to seize this opportunity, but... was it really necessary to go all out with such a revealing approach?

Although the director is very handsome, but... how am I supposed to tell my sister this?

But if I refuse, will I lose such a good opportunity?

Naza's little mind was in turmoil, and the expressions on her face changed unpredictably.

She would bite her lip, frown, and steal glances at Li Yan.

"Um...Director,"

She spoke hesitantly, trying to bargain:

"Could you... wear something more conservative? Like... a sports bra? Or a backless dress? Seriously, my back looks amazing!"

As she spoke, she turned around to show off her beautiful back.

As a result, I almost twisted my back again.

Looking at her cowardly yet eager-to-climb-the-top demeanor, Li Yan was practically dying of laughter inside, but could only force himself to explain:

"That was to show the character's true state at home, not to expose herself for the sake of exposure."

"Oh," Naza lowered her head in grievance, twisting her fingers tightly.

"So... is it low-waisted or high-waisted?"

"..."

Ge Tian was completely speechless. This girl really wasn't pretending to be stupid. Was this the time to be focusing on this?

Li Yan shook his head and didn't insist.

We also need to give her time to weigh the pros and cons herself.

Although she probably couldn't figure out what to do either.

He took out the script from his bag, pulled out a few pages, and then took out a pen to scribble down a string of numbers on it.

"Take it."

Li Yan handed over the few pages of the script, and Nazha instinctively took them and held them in his arms.

"This is the script for the role. Take it back and take a look. I'm not filming that kind of messy stuff."

Li Yan looked into her eyes, his tone becoming more serious:

"Call me when you've thought it through. The phone will be back on in three days. Whether you want to or not is up to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Naza's reaction, he turned around and waved to Geta:

"I'm gone."

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, turned back to Naza who was still hesitating, and added:

"Oh, by the way, the female lead in this drama is Ms. Lü Zhong."

Watching Li Yan's dashing departure, Na Zha gripped the script tightly, silently encouraging himself:

Wearing underwear doesn't seem like a problem, it's not like it's a nude scene, and besides... the director is quite good-looking...

Oh, right, I also need to go back and find out who Teacher Lü Zhong is...

Seeing Naza's conflicted, infatuated expression, Ge Tian couldn't resist reaching out and poking her forehead:

"Silly girl, stop looking, you're drooling!"

"If he hadn't rejected me, you wouldn't be here being so picky. If you don't seize this opportunity, you'll have no one to blame but yourself later!"

Naza covered his forehead, chuckled foolishly twice, carefully stuffed the script into his bag, and muttered:

"I didn't say I wasn't going..."

"I just... I just need to buy a nice set of lingerie..."
