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

"Director Liang, it's me."

"Didn't I just mention to you that we were going to interview Zhou Jinyao for the role of Ling Yue, the fourth male lead? If possible, please help her out. Even if she doesn't get the role of Ling Yue, give her some other minor supporting role."

"Okay, sure."

After hanging up the phone.

Yang Mi looked at the torn silk nightgown on the ground and smiled gently.

"He's young, and he's got a lot of energy."

……

After leaving Yang Mi's residential area, Zhou Jin found a print shop near her hotel, downloaded the audition footage of her senior brother Ling Yue, and then returned to the hotel.

Zhou Jin held the two thin sheets of paper, her brows furrowed slightly.

These two scenes may seem short and the dialogue may not be dense, but to make them stand out requires a great deal of acting skill.

First scene:

Ling Yue appears to save Tu Su.

The challenge in this scene lies in creating the right "aura" and maintaining a sense of proportion.

As the eldest disciple of Tianyong City, Ling Yue's appearance cannot be just a simple martial arts show. He must show his urgency and concern for his junior brother's safety, while maintaining the composure and dignity of the chief disciple of a prestigious sect.

Too much and it'll come across as pretentious and greasy; too little and it won't be able to deliver the stunning brilliance the character deserves.

Second scene:

After becoming the sect leader, Ling Yue had to abandon his seven emotions and six desires and sever his emotional ties in order to cultivate Taoism. He was both affectionate and restrained when facing his beloved junior sister.

Facing his beloved junior sister, the state of loving her but not being able to have her, and having to let go for the sake of responsibility, is extremely demanding in terms of micro-expressions and eye acting.

If you act too coldly, you'll become a emotionless "expressionless" person.

If the emotional fluctuations are too great, it goes against the character's established traits.

These two scenes are very difficult to act well.

Fortunately, he has the advanced attribute of "chivalrous spirit," so he should have no problem performing well in the first scene.

Over the next few days, Zhou Jin locked herself in the hotel and practiced the two audition scenes repeatedly in front of the hotel mirror.

I also wrote a lot of thoughts and insights about the character Ling Yue.

The character's performance far exceeded his expectations; he already resembled a chivalrous hero.

……

The morning of the audition.

Zhou Jin, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and black trousers, arrived at the temporary meeting room.

The corridor was crowded with thirty or forty auditioning actors.

He glanced around and saw Chen Zihan, who played Hongyu, but didn't see Chen Weiting.

The other actors on set were somewhat surprised to see Zhou Jin, who was 183cm tall with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a sunny and handsome appearance.

Where did this handsome guy come from?

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Zhou Jin calmly nodded to the actor who was looking at her, then walked to a corner and looked down at her notes.

……

Inside the film crew's luxury suite.

Yang Mi was nestled on the sofa reading a script.

The burgundy bodycon dress had a slightly open neckline, revealing glimpses of white skin and a deep cleavage.

Those straight, beautiful legs, encased in ultra-thin black stockings, were crossed, their jade-like feet clad in stiletto heels, exuding a mature and alluring charm.

"Sister Mi, you look so radiant today, so glowing!" Across from her, Dilraba, wearing a tight white knit top and a floral mini skirt, couldn't help but exclaim, her gaze involuntarily drawn to Yang Mi's slender waist and full curves.

Yang Mi waved her hand lazily and said, "Stop flattering me."

Dilraba leaned closer, her large, exotic eyes scrutinizing Yang Mi's face. She exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Mi, I'm not just being polite, it's true! You look especially radiant today, your skin is practically glowing! Have you been using some incredibly expensive skincare products behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched her smooth and delicate cheek.

Of course she knew why she looked so good.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, the high-intensity work and immense pressure have kept her in a constant state of mental tension.

Until she met Zhou Jin, last night's exhilarating "sparring" not only released her years of pent-up emotions, but also gave her an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

Just thinking about Zhou Jin's perfect V-line, firm abs, and seemingly tireless young body made Yang Mi feel a ticklish sensation, as if a feather was gently scratching her heart.

This little rascal came to audition today, which is a good opportunity to have another "exchange" with him!

As the crazy scenes from last night flashed through her mind, Yang Mi suddenly felt her legs go weak.

"There are no exorbitantly priced skincare products, I just slept well last night. Dilraba... I'm going to the bathroom, you can be by yourself for a bit."

Watching Yang Mi's hurried departure, Dilraba stood up somewhat listlessly: "Then I'll just go take a stroll over to the audition venue and see if there's anything interesting going on."

"Go ahead, but be mindful of your behavior."

She skipped happily out of the room in her little leather shoes. Just as she reached the corner of the conference room floor, she didn't notice the water stains on the floor, and her high heels suddenly slipped.

Dilraba gasped in surprise as her high heels slipped, causing her to lose her balance and nearly fall.

Just at this critical moment, Zhou Jin, who was next to Dilraba, reached out and grabbed her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

That waist is truly supple and boneless.

Zhou Jin subconsciously sighed in her heart.

He lowered his head, and his gaze met that of the still-shaken girl in his arms.

Although the girl in front of me was wearing slightly heavy stage makeup, it still couldn't hide her stunningly beautiful features with an exotic flair.

With a high, straight nose, deep, captivating eyes like a pool of autumn water, and a youthful, graceful figure, she is undoubtedly a top-tier beauty with striking features.

Even after seeing all sorts of beauty filters in later generations, Zhou Jin had to admit that Dilraba in her youth was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

Just then, the familiar transparent light screen popped up in front of Zhou Jin again.

[Host detected intimate interaction with top female celebrity Dilraba. Hidden mission completed—Building connections. Reward: Random intermediate-level keyword.]

Zhou Jin was clearly taken aback.

At this time, Dilraba had only been in the industry for a short time, and was just playing minor roles in some dramas, barely making it big. She wasn't even a top star, let alone a third-tier celebrity.

But the system determined that she was a top female celebrity!

"As expected..." Zhou Jin chuckled inwardly. His previous guess was completely correct. This idiotic system not only treated him as himself 13 years later when his house collapsed, but also locked the status of other people 13 years later.

Dilraba is destined to be a top-tier actress in the Chinese entertainment industry!

[Should we extract intermediate-level terms?]

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Jin silently chanted in his mind, "Draw!"

[Entry successfully extracted—Intermediate entry: Deeply affectionate and reserved.]

[Deep Affection: When portraying emotional scenes such as unrequited love, restraint, and severing ties of affection, the host's micro-expressions become significantly more impactful. They can accurately convey a sense of heartbreak, with every gesture exuding restrained deep emotion, easily moving the audience to tears and evoking a strong sense of resonance.]

It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

"Be careful, the ground is slippery," Zhou Jin said in a low voice.

Reba seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly breaking free from his embrace, her chest heaving as she patted her full breasts: "Thank you so much! Otherwise, I would have been disfigured!"

"It was nothing," Zhou Jin said with a faint smile.

Dilraba looked up and was instantly stunned. The man was tall and handsome, with deep-set features—he was practically a perfect match for her aesthetic!

"Hey bro...you're so handsome." She blurted out, then her pretty face turned bright red.
