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

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, then instantly recognized Li Yitong's voice.

He turned around with some surprise: "Yitong? What are you doing here?"

Li Yitong playfully removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing her beautiful, endearing, smiling eyes, which stared intently at him.

"Zhou Jin, hello there! As for why I'm here... well, it's because I'm flying back to Hengdian too."

"You've got a new role?" Zhou Jin asked curiously.

Li Yitong nodded gently: "Yes, Director Yu Zheng said there's a role in his new drama, and he wants me to go audition to see if I'm suitable."

"Congratulations! Having a new film to shoot is definitely a good thing," Zhou Jin said with a smile.

For a new actor, the best thing is to have roles to play, and the most agonizing thing is to have no roles to play.

However, Li Yitong still looked at Zhou Jin with her smiling eyes, and said in a soft yet extremely straightforward voice:

"But for me, the best thing right now isn't having a new movie to film... but being able to be here and meet you."

Faced with Li Yitong's unexpected and direct confession, and seeing the tenderness and smile in her eyes, Zhou Jin felt her heart soften suddenly.

Zhou Jin and Li Yitong followed the flow of people into the cabin and sat in first class.

Compared to the cramped economy class, the first class seats are much more spacious.

Li Yitong's ticket happened to be right next to Zhou Jin's, and the two chatted softly the whole way, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After the plane landed, Li Yitong acted very boldly.

At the exit, she stepped forward and hugged Zhou Jin, gently kissing his cheek with her warm red lips, then stepped back and waved playfully.

"I'll come find you after I meet with Director Yu Zheng and get the role."

Zhou Jin felt the lingering warmth of the girl's body on her face and nodded with a smile.

Li Yitong took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Zhou Jin, her expression becoming unusually serious:

"Zhou Jin, one day, I will walk openly by your side and make the whole internet buzz with news about us as a couple."

After saying that, she didn't linger. She turned around and left quickly without looking back, her back view revealing a kind of tenacity.

Zhou Jin looked at the spirited girl and shook his head with a helpless smile.

……

After returning to the hotel and changing her clothes, Zhou Jin rushed to the set of "The Left Ear" as soon as possible.

"Director, I'm back." Zhou Jin found Su Youpeng, who was busy in front of the monitor.

The filming schedule for "The Left Ear" was already quite tight. Zhou Jin, as the lead actress, took three days off in one go. If it were a typical director, they would probably have been displeased long ago.

But when Su Youpeng saw Zhou Jin, he showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, he stood up, patted Zhou Jin on the shoulder, and joked with a smile:

"Zhou Jin, although you've been away from Hengdian for the past three days, everyone in the crew has been talking about you."

Zhou Jin naturally knew that Su Youpeng was referring to the huge online feud between him, Yang Mi, and Dilraba, and could only smile helplessly:

"It's all just rumors spread by netizens; don't take it seriously."

Su Youpeng shook his head, his eyes full of deep meaning.

No film director wants their work to be a box office hit.

In this industry, while the quality of the film itself is fundamental, viewership and popularity are also key factors in determining success or failure.

The movie "The Breakup Guru" hasn't even premiered yet, but its popularity has already reached an absurd level. The female lead is Yang Mi, who is at the peak of her career, and the male lead is Zhou Jin, who has been generating a lot of buzz.

Although Su Youpeng didn't know the exact quality of the film, he had a strong intuition:

As long as the quality is above average, with the support of this massive audience, the box office is guaranteed to be phenomenal. If the quality is even slightly better, the box office will surely reach an enviable height.

After encouraging Zhou Jin for a few words, Su Youpeng asked his assistant to call over Chen Duling, the female lead of the movie.

Because Zhou Jin went straight to the film set as soon as she got off the plane without saying hello to the rest of the crew, Chen Duling looked a little lost when she arrived.

Seeing Zhou Jin standing next to the director, Chen Duling's eyes flashed with surprise: "Teacher Zhou Jin, you're back?"

Despite the surprise, her voice still carried that inherent coolness.

Zhou Jin looked at the pure and aloof young girl in front of her, smiled, and waved her hand:

"No need to be so polite, just call me Zhou Jin. If you really feel awkward, you can call me Brother Jin."

Chen Duling nodded obediently, but her tone remained polite:

"Okay, Ms. Zhou Jin."

Su Youpeng sat to the side, looked at Zhou Jin, then at Chen Duling, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

In "Swords of Legends", Zhou Jin, who played Ling Yue, and Dilraba, who played Fu Qu, did not have many scenes.

But because the "Yuefu CP" (a nickname for the two) has such great chemistry, with the handsome man and beautiful woman, their popularity has skyrocketed to an incredible level. Now, even the slightest thing can cause a stir across the internet.

Since creating a romantic pairing works so well, why can't he create a romantic pairing between the male and female leads in "The Left Ear" as well?

As his thoughts raced, Su Youpeng said to Zhou Jin:

"Zhou Jin, go and prepare for filming. I need to have a few words with Turin alone."

Zhou Jin didn't think much of it, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Zhou Jin walked away, Su Youpeng looked at Chen Duling and asked directly, "You must have seen the recent trending topics about Zhou Jin on Weibo, right?"

Chen Duling nodded gently.

Su Youpeng said in a deep voice, "Deng Chao really mastered the art of leveraging the CP rumors between Zhou Jin and Yang Mi, saving at least tens of millions in publicity costs. So, for the upcoming movie promotion, I also want to promote your CP with Zhou Jin."

Chen Duling was immediately taken aback, her eyes widening slightly: "Huh? Me and Teacher Zhou Jin as a couple?"

Su Youpeng raised an eyebrow slightly: "What? You dislike Zhou Jin?"

"No, no!" Chen Duling quickly shook her head and denied it. "How could I dislike him... I'm just worried that Teacher Zhou Jin is so popular now, and I'm just a new actress. He might not agree to cooperate with the hype."

Su Youpeng chuckled softly, his tone revealing a hint of experience: "Under normal circumstances, he might refuse if you force a match between them."

"But what if you two have a good relationship in private? As long as you take the initiative to get closer to him, I think he definitely won't refuse."

Seeing Chen Duling's thoughtful expression, Su Youpeng continued to offer guidance:

"After filming wraps up today, invite Zhou Jin out for dinner tonight and let them stroll around Hengdian. We're all young, so let's spend more time together and get to know each other better."

Chen Duling fell silent.

Zhou Jin's handsome and rugged face couldn't help but appear in my mind, as well as his gentle manner as he patiently and meticulously taught me how to act on set during this time.

A moment later, a slight blush rose on Chen Duling's fair cheeks, and she nodded gently.

"Director, I understand."
