Huayu: Just entered the industry, and was pursued by a young actress.

Compared to Zhou Jin, who was relaxed, Chen Weiting's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was extremely annoyed.

Although he doesn't think much of mainland actors, he is also well aware that Yang Mi is not just an actress; she has Jaywalk Studio behind her.

Her explicit support for Zhou Jin carries significant weight.

Furthermore, the director of this drama, Director Liang, has made it clear that he is on Zhou Jin's side.

My chances of getting this role are already very slim.

Moreover—although he didn't want to admit it, Zhou Jin's ancient costume appearance was indeed far superior to his own.

But Chen Weiting still looked at the producers with unwavering determination.

The producers knew better than anyone that Zhou Jin not only outshone Chen Weiting in terms of period costume appearance, but also in terms of acting skills.

Now that they see so many people standing up to support Zhou Jin, they know that the situation is beyond saving and there is no point in persisting.

The producers looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke up and compromised.

"Okay, we agree to let Zhou Jin play this role."

Chen Weiting's anxiety finally died.

Director Liang nodded to Zhou Jin: "Congratulations, the role of Ling Yue is yours."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully completing the "Audition and Success" mission.]

Upon hearing the system notification in her mind, Zhou Jin felt a sense of anticipation for the reward, but she didn't show it on her face. She simply nodded slightly to Director Liang.

Dilraba joined in, smiling sweetly, and said, "Congratulations, Zhou Jin!"

Yang Mi stood to the side, a slight smile playing on her lips, her gaze fixed on Zhou Jin, the meaning in her eyes clear—she was waiting for him at the hotel again tonight.

it is more than words.

Zhou Jin understood, and her Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

The next step is to sign the contract.

The total salary was 300,000.

For the fourth male lead, 300,000 is not a lot.

But for a newcomer who has just graduated from Beijing Film Academy and has never acted in a film, 300,000 is already a very good price.

Zhou Jin had nothing to complain about.

Director Liang and Yang Mi have already worked hard to get him the role. If they were to argue about the salary now, it would be a sign of a very narrow-minded person.

Moreover, he is very confident that his salary will increase more than tenfold after the filming of this movie is completed.

Everyone started getting their makeup done one after another, and then took their final photos.

Zhou Jin took advantage of her free time to check the system rewards.

[Ding! You've landed the role of Ling Yue, the fourth male lead in "Swords of Legends," in your first acting role!]

[Task Rating: S]

Choose two of the following three rewards; you cannot choose more than one.

[Reward 1: Acting Skills +3. Reward 2: Character Trial Card +1. Reward 3: Lucky Card +1.]

"An S-level rating, is it only a choice of 2 out of 3?"

Zhou Jin was somewhat disappointed, but she could only look at the three rewards one by one.

Acting +3, as the name suggests, directly increases the acting attribute.

His acting skills are indeed a bit poor now, so choosing this option is quite useful.

Zhou Jin then looked at the second one, the character experience card.

[Character Experience Card: After use, you can experience a character from a movie, TV series, or other works, grasp the essence of the character, and temporarily increase your acting skills by 20.]

Zhou Jin's eyes lit up.

This stuff is amazing.

His previous audition was largely due to his posing and physical appearance; if he were actually cast, he would definitely be exposed.

With this card, there's nothing to fear.

Zhou Jin then looked at the third one, the lucky card.

[Lucky Card: Use to experience a day of good luck, like being blessed by a lucky koi fish.]

This is also very good, and quite tempting.

But then Zhou Jin thought again, since running in daily tasks can increase endurance, there should be a way to improve acting skills in the future.

As for lucky cards, once you miss them, they're gone forever, and that's a real shame.

With that in mind, Zhou Jin no longer hesitated and directly chose reward 2 and reward 3.

[New task released - Somewhat well-known.]

[Before the premiere of "Swords of Legends," we will continuously release character stills, behind-the-scenes footage, and stills, aiming to reach 50 followers on Weibo as quickly as possible before the premiere.]

【奖励1:演技+3。奖励2:演技体验卡x1。奖励3:模特身材。】

(Note: You can only choose one of the three basic rewards. The faster you break through the time barrier, the more rewards you can choose from.)

Upon seeing the requirements of the new task, Zhou Jin frowned slightly.

If he remembered correctly, Chen Weiting's fan base grew from 40 to 150 million in a month after the broadcast of "Swords of Legends".

But that's because the viewership exploded after the broadcast started.

However, the system required him to reach 50 Weibo followers before the premiere of Gu Jian Qi Tan.

That's asking too much.

Zhou Jin glanced at the three rewards.

Acting skills +3. I missed it last time, so I certainly won't miss it this time.

Character trial cards are very useful, and the more the merrier.

As for his model physique, although he is 1.83 meters tall, his abs are not very prominent.

With this model's physique, he would be even more perfect.

Zhou Jin's gaze was resolute; this time, he was determined to get all three rewards.

We can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, we can try to interact more with Yang Mi on Weibo and ride her coattails.

By this time, the others had also finished their makeup and had their official photos taken.

Director Liang gathered all the actors together and took a group photo.

After taking the photos, Director Liang stood in the center, looked around, and announced, "Filming will officially begin at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. No one is allowed to be late."

All the actors and staff nodded in agreement.

As dusk fell.

Reba pulled Yang Mi's arm and walked up to Zhou Jin, saying, "I said I'd treat you to dinner, could we have one more person?"

Although she liked Zhou Jin, she was still a naive young girl and felt a little embarrassed to ask him out for a meal alone, so she also invited her most trusted friend, Sister Mi, along.

Zhou Jin glanced at Yang Mi's murderous glare, but remained unfazed, nodding with a smile: "Of course I don't mind."

He knows Yang Mi too well.

She's usually cute and fierce, always acting like the older sister, always wanting to be on top, and she especially likes to take the initiative.

But once you get to know her better, you'll discover another side of Yang Mi—just how soft and supple she is.

Seeing the exchange of glances between the two, Dilraba asked with some confusion, "Does Sister Mi know Zhou Jin?"

Yang Mi said, "We met when we were print models, so I guess you could say we know each other."

Reba looked at Yang Mi suspiciously, then at Zhou Jin, and said, "I feel there's something special between Sister Mi and Zhou Jin. What exactly is your relationship?"

Yang Mi was speechless for a moment.

She didn't want to lie to Reba, but she couldn't tell the truth either.

Zhou Jin laughed and said, "Have you heard of Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi?"

Reba nodded earnestly: "The textbook says, 'High mountains and flowing water meet a kindred spirit.'"

"That's right," Zhou Jin said without changing his expression.

Dilraba's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "So, Sister Honey and Zhou Jin, your relationship is so innocent!"

Dilraba breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had assumed that Zhou Jin and her best friend were having an intimate relationship behind her back.

That's good, that's good, it proves she still has a chance.

The naive Dilraba didn't understand at all what Zhou Jin was implying.

But how could the experienced driver Yang Mi not hear it?

Taking advantage of Reba's inattention, Yang Mi blushed slightly and glared fiercely at Zhou Jin.

Soon, the three of them found a barbecue restaurant near Hengdian and sat down.

Reba picked up a piece of grilled meat and handed it to Zhou Jin's bowl, saying shyly, "Thank you for saving me yesterday, otherwise I would have fallen."

Yang Mi glared at Reba, took the piece of meat back from Zhou Jin's bowl, and said speechlessly, "Reba, you little brat, how many times have you given Zhou Jin this food since we started eating? Your sister Mi is still hungry."

"Really?" Dilraba scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

While Yang Mi was talking, Zhou Jin quickly stuffed the piece of meat that Yang Mi had just put back into her mouth.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Zhou Jin.

It's one thing to get close to Dilraba, but you even dare to steal my flesh! I won't let you sleep in my bed tonight.

Just then, Zhou Jin's phone vibrated slightly.

He picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Li Yitong.

"I'm so sorry, I just wanted to strike up a conversation, so I lied. I didn't know you weren't a celebrity, and I even lied and said I was your fan and had liked you for a long time. I apologize again."

Zhou Jin guessed that Li Yitong would go home regularly to search for her name, but found no information about her online.

He wasn't angry; he casually typed a few words in reply, jokingly saying, "Isn't it common sense to apologize by posting a picture of yourself in black stockings?"

He put his phone down after sending the message.

A moment later, the phone vibrated again.
