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

Chapter 43: My Lucky Card Works, and I Become the Star of a Movie?

Yang Mi subconsciously followed Zhou Jin's suggestion and lowered the camera a little, but when she looked down and saw her own embarrassment, she realized what was going on.

Thinking of Zhou Jin's figure, Yang Mi gently rubbed her thigh.

She hadn't seen Zhou Jin in a long time, and she missed him a little, as well as his stubbornness.

Zhou Jin suddenly remembered the entry she had just created.

It's perfect for comedic and abstract movies, and Deng Chao's "The Breakup Guru" is just right.

"Honey, didn't Deng Chao invite you to participate in 'The Breakup Guru'?"

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought about it and finally decided to decline. I am mature and steady, and I feel that my style is not suitable for comedy."

Zhou Jin chuckled and teased, "Sister Mi, you're actually quite funny."

Yang Mi was so angry with Zhou Jin that she was shaking uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth and said, "You... do you dare to come to my room right now?"

"Has Honey gotten all clean and fresh?"

"Hmph." Yang Mi didn't say anything. The two were thousands of miles apart, so it was obviously a joke.

Yang Mi naturally didn't hide anything from Zhou Jin and spoke her true concerns:

"Although Deng Chao himself is a good actor, he is still unfamiliar with directing. He is a director who is crossing over from another industry, and it is a comedy. I feel that this movie is very likely to flop. Even if it doesn't flop, the word-of-mouth will not be very good."

Zhou Jin nodded slightly.

That's true. "The Breakup Guru" ultimately grossed over 700 million yuan at the box office, but it was heavily criticized back then.

Deng Chao himself received the Golden Broom Award for this.

It was a classic case of being a box office hit but not a critical success, but as the quality of subsequent films declined, the reputation of "The Breakup Guru" gradually improved.

After Zhou Jin hung up the phone.

A moment later, another phone rang.

"Hello, is this Zhou Jinyao? This is Deng Chao."

Zhou Jin was startled when she heard the somewhat familiar voice.

Deng Chao?

Could it be that the lucky card is working its magic?

"This is Zhou Jin. How can I help you?"

"In my movie 'The Breakup Guru,' there's a very good-looking character. Would you be available to play that role?"

Zhou Jin suddenly realized that it was for the role of writer Han Han, used to break up with Xiao Zhuang, played by Nazha.

Unexpectedly, Gulnazar's boyfriend has now changed his identity and become an actor.

"Of course," Zhou Jin readily agreed.

Deng Chao said politely, "Our film crew is in Hengdian. You can come to the set tomorrow if you have time."

"OK."

Zhou Jin was a little disappointed after hanging up the phone, "It's just a minor supporting role in a movie."

"The lucky card was a bit of a disappointment this time."

However, Zhou Jin reluctantly accepted it.

Having a role is better than having no role, and "The Breakup Guru" can also bring out his abstract side as much as possible.

……

The next day.

Zhou Jin arrived at Deng Chao's film crew according to the address.

Filming has not officially started yet, and casting has not been conducted. Director Deng Chao and lead actors Yu Baimei are currently discussing the script.

"Zhou Jin, you've arrived."

When Deng Chao saw Zhou Jin arrive, his eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "I've heard many directors say that you have an outstanding appearance and excellent acting skills. Now that I've seen you in person, you're even more handsome than they imagined."

"Brother Chao, you flatter me," Zhou Jin said modestly.

The rest of the crew were surprised by Zhou Jin's good looks.

Zhou Jin nodded amicably to the others.

Deng Chao is well-liked in the entertainment industry, which is related to his status as a big star, and of course, it is also largely due to his personality.

"Here's the script. Take a look and see if you have any ideas." Deng Chao patted Zhou Jin on the shoulder. "Our crew doesn't have that many taboos or rules. Just speak up if you have any ideas."

"It would be best if it were a more abstract idea." After saying that, Deng Chao smiled and winked at Zhou Jin.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.

Moreover, once the TV series "Swords of Legends" airs, his movie can also ride on Zhou Jin's popularity.

Of course, what he wanted to leverage most was Yang Mi's popularity, after all, she was the lead actress in "Swords of Legends," but Yang Mi didn't think the movie would do well at the box office and rejected him.

After giving the script to Zhou Jin, Deng Chao continued to discuss the script with the screenwriters.

Zhou Jin opened the script. He had seen the movie "The Breakup Guru" in his previous life, and with the addition of the new entry, his mind was now full of abstract suggestions.

Zhou Jin frowned slightly. "This script should be an unfinished version. It's quite different from the one in the previous life."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Jin took the script and went to find Deng Chao.

"Brother Chao, I have a slightly different opinion about this ending."

The original ending was simply to fake his death and then trick Ye Xiaochun into revealing the truth.

There was no appearance of the Composite Master, nor was there any scene of the Sixth Brother reappearing.

Deng Chao was taken aback. He had only been politely offering suggestions, but he hadn't expected the person to actually do it.

However, Deng Chao wasn't one to hold a grudge, and he smiled and asked, "What suggestion?"

"I think the character of Lao Liu is very outstanding. He can also appear in the ending. Moreover, in contrast to the Breakup Master, I think the ending would be better if he partnered with Lao Liu to form a Reconciliation Master."

Deng Chao already had a vague idea in his mind.

Hearing Zhou Jin's words, he suddenly understood, "Great idea!"

Zhou Jin smiled and continued, "Brother Chao, I have some more ideas, but it's too troublesome to explain them, so I'll demonstrate them for you."

"And I'm thinking, after Ye Xiaochun revealed that he was actually acting, he made Lao Liu continue to stab him with a fake knife."

Zhou Jin gestured for Lao Liu to test the fake knife.

Sixth brother.

The sixth brother stabbed Zhou Jin, who pretended to be stabbed and shrank back.

Then Lao Liu stabbed her again, and Zhou Jin pretended to be stabbed again, shrinking her stomach backward.

After several times.

Zhou Jin told Lao Liu to keep poking.

This time, Zhou Jin didn't lean back. Instead, she held her head in her hands and started twisting her waist rhythmically, swaying left and right, just in time to avoid Lao Liu's stabbing motion.

This move was a well-worn one in Zhou Jin's time.

But for Deng Chao now, he has never seen it before.

Seeing Zhou Jin's bizarre and abstract movements, and her inherently funny nature, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone present, including Deng Chao, burst into laughter, some even laughing so hard their stomachs hurt and tears welled up in their eyes.

"That works wonderfully!"

Deng Chao excitedly hugged Zhou Jin's neck, as if he had seen a kindred spirit, and became much closer to him: "Zhou Jin, I didn't expect that you and I are the same, handsome, but with a funny and abstract heart."

Deng Chao laughed heartily.

The atmosphere on set was rather cheerful.

After Deng Chao realized that Zhou Jin was a kindred spirit, he began to frequently bring the script to ask Zhou Jin for her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jin's mind was constantly filled with abstract ideas.

Even when they drew a question they didn't understand, Zhou Jin personally demonstrated how to make it more abstract and funny.

Seeing Zhou Jin's demonstration, everyone on the set burst into laughter.

Gradually, Deng Chao stopped smiling.

Because he discovered that Zhou Jin's talent for abstract thinking was far superior to his own.

Moreover, his performances are abstract, and he has so many abstract and ingenious ideas, it's really great.

Most importantly, Deng Chao's thoughts are actually very similar to Yang Mi's.

Deng Chao has a strong desire for abstraction; he wants to engage in abstraction.

However, he wasn't stupid, and he probably guessed that after the movie was released, regardless of whether it did well at the box office, it would most likely be criticized as a terrible movie.

Moreover, while Deng Chao verbally expressed confidence in the box office, he wasn't truly that confident in his heart.

The more Deng Chao thought about it, the stronger his resolve became.

After hesitating for a long time, Deng Chao finally couldn't help but say, "Zhou Jin, how about... you try out for the lead role?"
