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

Several staff members who didn't know much about the script whispered among themselves, genuinely believing that Zhou Jin was the male lead in the play.

Li Yifeng, who had just finished his makeup, happened to pass by and his expression darkened slightly upon hearing those words.

Hearing these comments, Reba became somewhat excited.

In her opinion, if she were the director, she would cast Zhou Jin as the male lead. Then she would replace Sister Mi as the female lead and act opposite Zhou Jin in many scenes.

Unfortunately, she's still relatively unknown, so what she says doesn't really matter.

Although Yang Mi had seen Zhou Jin's full makeup yesterday, she was still pleasantly surprised to see him come out of the dressing room again today, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes.

However, thinking about how the game that was supposed to happen last night was ruined, Yang Mi glared at Dilraba slightly.

Dilraba looked at Honey with a somewhat innocent expression, completely bewildered.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Director Liang looked at Zhou Jin with great satisfaction.

Having worked in this industry for so many years, he knows very well that most of the time, as long as the lead actor is handsome or beautiful, they can naturally attract viewers.

Director Liang picked up the megaphone and shouted.

"The first match! Ling Duan used the sect leader's magic weapon to capture Tu Su and injured him, but Senior Brother Ling Yue came to the rescue!"

"Props! Lighting! Camera... Everyone, get ready!"

Zhou Jin took a deep breath when she heard the director's call.

He had read the script for this scene many times and had memorized the lines perfectly.

On the surface, no one spoke, but the lead actors Li Yifeng, Shuangzi, and Ma Tianyu, along with several other actors, were all subtly scrutinizing Zhou Jin.

They all wanted to see what made this newcomer, who had replaced William Chan, who was backed by Hong Kong capital, so remarkable.

The first scene was filmed smoothly and methodically.

When it was Zhou Jin's turn to appear as the senior disciple Ling Yue, Director Liang called out, "Cut!"

Then he turned to Zhou Jin and said, "Next, it's your turn."

Zhou Jin nodded after changing into her full costume and applying her full makeup.

All eyes in the room fell on Zhou Jin.

This scene requires not only to portray the righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor of the eldest brother, Ling Yue, but also to convey his powerful presence.

If you don't act well, it will be particularly awkward and take the audience out of the story.

Without hesitation, Zhou Jin immediately used the character trial card that the system had rewarded her with yesterday.

In an instant, a flood of details and insights about the character of Senior Brother Ling Yue rushed into his mind.

The character's personality, way of speaking, the degree of his gestures, and the strict yet protective attitude he had towards his junior brother—everything was as clear as if he had personally experienced it.

In a daze, he seemed to be Ling Yue, the senior disciple of Tianyong City.

[Ding! Your acting skills +20 (temporary).]

Some parts of the script that were originally difficult to understand suddenly became clear.

Zhou Jin glanced at the system panel.

Name: Zhou Jin

Age: 35, Height: 183cm, Weight: 80kg

[Base Attributes: Strength 78, Stamina 65, Agility 58]

[Superstar Attributes: Appearance 91, Acting Skills 80 (Temporary), Singing Skills 50]

[Works: None]

Assets: Balance 12352 yuan.

Zhou Jin nodded slightly, and sure enough, her acting skills score temporarily increased by twenty points.

The director shouted, "Action!"

With a soft "pfft," Tu Su, played by Li Yifeng, was struck by Ling Duan's sect-leading magic weapon, spitting out a mouthful of blood and crashing heavily to the ground.

"stop."

The sound arrived first.

Then Zhou Jin, playing the senior brother Ling Yue, appeared.

He was dressed in the white robes of a disciple of Tianyong City, with a sword hanging at his waist and his long hair tied up with a jade crown, standing in front of his junior brothers and the others.

His gaze first fell on Tu Su, who was lying on the ground and seriously injured. His brows furrowed, and a hint of heartache and anger flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his head and stared straight at Ling Duan.

That glance was like a sword being drawn from its sheath.

"Ling Duan."

Zhou Jin spoke up.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, as if it came from deep within the chest, carrying an imposing weight.

His tone wasn't shouting or yelling, yet it somehow made everyone present feel a heavy pressure.

"Your master entrusted you with the sect's most important treasure so that you could protect your fellow disciples, not so that you could use it to harm your own junior brothers."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, holding his longsword.

At this very moment, the actor playing Ling Duan seemed to be nailed to the spot by something.

Zhou Jin exuded an aura that was overwhelming—not the kind of feigned bravado, but a genuine, righteous, and authoritative presence that emanated from her very being.

This is how the eldest brother should be.

It's not about having a loud voice or exaggerated movements, but about simply standing there and saying a single sentence, and you know that this person is the backbone of all the junior brothers and sisters.

The actor playing Lingduan met his gaze and his mind went completely blank.

The lines that I had memorized perfectly were completely forgotten in the blink of an eye.

"Card!"

Director Liang called for a stop.

Everyone thought Director Liang was about to get angry, but a clear look of joy appeared on his face.

He could see clearly through the camera that Zhou Jin's presence in that scene just now truly dominated the entire screen.

It wasn't through editing or post-production; it was simply the actors standing there that brought out the atmosphere of the entire scene.

This was even better than he had imagined.

It was absolutely the right decision to withstand the pressure and cast Zhou Jin in this role.

Chen Weiting could never portray that feeling.

"That's the feeling!" Director Liang said to Zhou Jin with delight, "You've captured the aura and righteousness of Senior Brother Ling Yue perfectly. You're in great form. Keep it up, let's do another take."

After saying that, he turned to the actor who was acting opposite Zhou Jin and added calmly, "Lines, don't forget your lines."

"Yes, Director."

Several more takes were taken.

The director frowned and yelled "Cut!" more than ten times.

Zhou Jin has always been fine, but Li Yifeng's acting as Baili Tusu has some issues.

"Take another shot."

As the director yelled "Action," Li Yifeng, playing Baili Tusu, suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "One who does something should take responsibility for it."

"Cut." Director Liang frowned and called for a stop. "The tone isn't right. We didn't want to upset the senior brother here, so let's tone it down a bit. Okay, all the actors and crew, take a break for now, we'll reshoot later."

Li Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

To be honest, he was initially not convinced.

A newcomer who appeared out of nowhere landed the role of the fourth male lead.

He felt even more uncomfortable after seeing the official photos and realizing that the newcomer was more handsome and had better presence than him.

He's the male lead, but the fourth male lead is even more handsome than the male lead. What kind of logic is that?
