Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

"What the hell are you doing?"

Lin Miaomiao stormed up to Li Haoyu, her anger palpable. ✊👊 ➅➈ŜĤǗˣ.ς𝓞𝓂 ♟🐳

She questioned him angrily.

Li Haoyu scratched his head helplessly. "What did I do? You already agreed. I just told everyone what you said, so what?"

"No one wants to be a mangy dog, right?"

Li Haoyu feigned confusion.

Later on, he simply switched to a mocking tone.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Li Haoyu like this.

She was instantly left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Who's the mangy dog...?"

"I really am..."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

What frustrated her even more was that Li Haoyu was absolutely right this time. She had indeed personally agreed to play the female lead in "The Beginning".

This left Lin Miaomiao speechless.

"I never thought you'd actually do this for real. You want to embarrass yourself, fine, but why drag me into it?" Lin Miaomiao was really anxious, and she stomped her feet in anger.

Li Haoyu looked at Lin Miaomiao and said, "Don't you really want to lose face in front of everyone?"

Lin Miaomiao nodded. "Is that even a question? Otherwise, why would I skip work and come straight to you?"

"Hahaha... This is really rare. Lin Miaomiao, who is so serious and responsible at work, has actually learned to skip work. It seems that this time she has really been provoked."

Li Haoyu smiled happily.

He was practically doubled over with laughter.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Haoyu.

"Stop messing around and tell me how to solve this. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you right away that you'd come home with me tonight and I'd like to have a good talk with you about the script and give you some pointers?"

"You know, I'm a well-known Midas touch expert in the television industry. My ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary is no joke."

Lin Miaomiao got really angry when she heard this.

She started threatening Li Haoyu with force again.

Li Haoyu looked at Lin Miaomiao's expression.

He knew he would be in big trouble if he continued joking.

So Li Haoyu said in a serious tone, "I would never joke about my own work. I chose you because you are really suitable for the role of Li Shiqian."

"Besides, I'm not the only one who does this. Don't many big directors like to cast newcomers?"

Why can't I?

Lin Miaomiao looked at Li Haoyu's serious and earnest expression.

She couldn't find any words to refute it, only stammering, "I didn't say you couldn't use newcomers, but I really can't!"

"I have absolutely no acting experience, I'm really going to ruin 'The Beginning'."

Li Haoyu shook his head.

He looked earnestly into Lin Miaomiao's eyes and said.

"Don't you want to suffer?"

Hearing Li Haoyu say that, Lin Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Of course I'm willing to endure hardship, no matter how tough it is. 💜♢ 6➈𝕊ᕼǗא.𝔠Øм 🍭✌ But my acting skills are really bad!"

Li Haoyu said, "So I never planned to let you act?"

"what!"

Lin Miaomiao was completely dumbfounded when she heard this.

She really couldn't understand what Li Haoyu was up to.

Li Haoyu then explained, "Acting is an art in which one person plays the role of another."

"To put it simply: an actor needs to transform themselves into another person and live naturally and authentically in a hypothetical environment. What do they use to act?"

"Simply put: use your body, including your limbs, voice, and facial expressions."

Lin Miaomiao was completely confused. "I know what you're saying makes sense, but I don't know anything about acting. It's pointless for you to tell me all this!"

Li Haoyu said, "That's why I didn't plan for you to act. You can just play yourself. You only graduated a few months ago. Wouldn't it be really suitable for you to play a college student?"

"The reason I want to use new actors is to make the audience feel more real. Why don't you try out a scene now?"

Lin Miaomiao sighed helplessly.

Li Haoyu has already made his boast known.

She had nowhere left to turn.

In fact, she had secretly memorized Li Shiqian's lines from the first few episodes over the past two nights. Lin Miaomiao really was as Li Haoyu had said.

Lin Miaomiao started performing in the office.

She was acting out the opening scene, right when Li Shiqing realized she was trapped in a loop. She and Xiao Heyun were having a heated argument about whether to save the people in the car and whether to call the police.

After Lin Miaomiao finished her performance.

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but steal glances at Li Haoyu's reaction.

The result, however, greatly disappointed her.

Li Haoyu kept a close eye on Lin Miaomiao the whole time, not missing a single one of her movements.

He remained silent after reading it.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

Lin Miaomiao waited patiently for a while.

But seeing that Li Haoyu remained silent, she, already feeling guilty, couldn't hold back any longer. Especially Li Haoyu's taciturn demeanor made Lin Miaomiao even more unable to contain herself.

She stepped on Li Haoyu's foot and said, "I performed exactly as you said, so whether it was good or bad, you should at least give me a straight answer!"

Li Haoyu watched Lin Miaomiao's audition clip.

He was actually quite satisfied.

It must be said that Lin Miaomiao is quite talented in acting.

Her first audition was surprisingly decent. Lin Miaomiao is at least much better than the hyped-up actresses Li Haoyu remembered, like the one who claimed "Ants have been gone for ten years."

Li Haoyu stopped keeping them in suspense and gave his evaluation directly.

"Actually, there wasn't anything wrong with your acting. It's just that you were too nervous during the performance and couldn't relax. Your body was stiff the whole time. 🐠😳 🐸🐨"

"Then how can your performance be considered natural and authentic?"

After saying that, Li Haoyu immediately got to work.

As he fiddled with Lin Miaomiao's arm, he said, "Look, your arm is still stiff. It's a pity we're not filming a zombie movie, otherwise I'd give you a hundred points."

Lin Miaomiao immediately retorted when she heard Li Haoyu's complaint.

"If you're so capable, why don't you try it yourself!"

Li Haoyu, not to be outdone, retorted, "Bring it on! Do you think I'm afraid?"

However, just as Li Haoyu said this, he silently activated the True Sight skill. After all, why not use the system's free eye-killing cheat?

Li Haoyu wants to win over Lin Miaomiao with his acting skills.

Let her know that her boyfriend isn't someone to be trifled with.

After all, Li Haoyu wrote the script for "The Beginning," and with the added benefit of the memory palace, he could even recite any line from any character in "The Beginning."

Then he immediately quoted a famous line from the movie: "Is it wrong to be afraid of death? Isn't it human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm? Just because I can't be as kind as you, does that make me wicked?"

"We ourselves are corpses. Kindness is not a cheap virtue; it must be commensurate with one's abilities."

Li Haoyu spoke these words with force and conviction.

Especially the firm and rational look in his eyes.

It immediately overshadowed Lin Miaomiao's performance.

She was speechless for a moment.

However, Li Haoyu seemed to realize something immediately.

He seemed to realize that he had gone too far.

Li Haoyu's eyes softened immediately.

Lin Miaomiao also realized what was happening, and she said weakly, "I just wanted to save people. I witnessed a rescue at the hospital before, and it was too tragic!"

…………

This time, perhaps because Lin Miaomiao stopped talking to thin air, or perhaps because of Li Haoyu's "superb acting skills," Lin Miaomiao's performance seemed much more natural.

Her level of engagement also increased significantly.

At this moment, Li Haoyu resumed his playful and smiling demeanor.

"How was it? With me guiding you this time, do you feel that acting isn't so difficult anymore? That shows how important it is to have a good actor to act with."

Lin Miaomiao really didn't expect that.

Li Haoyu's acting skills are actually that outstanding.

She was indeed led away by Li Haoyu just now, under his gaze. For a moment, Lin Miaomiao even truly forgot that she was Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao really saw herself as Li Shiqing.

She naturally started arguing with Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu continued, "Your current mood is correct. Next, I'll guide you through the rest of the scenes."

Li Haoyu took out the script, then waved to Lin Miaomiao, signaling her to sit down next to him for class.

This time, Lin Miaomiao did not rebel. She obediently sat down next to Li Haoyu and listened attentively to his explanation of the beginning of the story.

Li Haoyu picked up a pen from his office desk.

He circled the key point of the next scene with a wavy line, "Miaomiao, you see, whether it's Xiao Heyun or Li Shiqing, they are just ordinary people."

"The debate between Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun about whether to call the police and whether to go back to the cycle of rescuing people repeatedly illustrates this point."

"Xiao Heyun didn't actually have any such thoughts. In life, most people probably have similar thoughts, but on the internet these days, justice is paramount, and people no longer dare to speak their minds."

Who can truly face their own true self?

Li Haoyu said this.

He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and said, "I seem to have gone off-topic again, but it was just something I felt compelled to say."

"Lin Miaomiao, tell me honestly, are you also impressed by the depth of my thoughts?"

After Li Haoyu finished speaking...

He received another big eye roll from Lin Miaomiao. "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. I'm busy! Otherwise, I'm going straight home."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't hold back any longer and started criticizing Li Haoyu.

However, she did genuinely admire Li Haoyu's talent just now.

That line really touched her.

During her time as a reporter, Lin Miaomiao did encounter all sorts of people.

So he knew that Li Haoyu's dialogue was indeed quite good. Li Haoyu truly captured the essence of humanity. Many people like to judge others based on their limited knowledge and moral standards.

This truly touched her deeply.

However, Lin Miaomiao would not reveal what was on her mind.

She knew Li Haoyu all too well; he was an incredibly confident man. He didn't need anyone's praise; he was confident enough on his own.

If she were to praise Li Haoyu a couple more times...

His little tail is probably so big it could fly straight up to the sky.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but pat Li Haoyu on the shoulder and say something.

"You've shown off enough. Hurry up and continue with the rest of the plot. Don't waste any more time; I want to go over the later scenes with you later."

Li Haoyu nodded and continued.

"When I was writing this part of the story, I actually used the male and female protagonists to represent two groups. Xiao Heyun represents the rational side, and Li Shiqing represents the emotional side."

"Think about it this way, doesn't their argument resemble a fight between boyfriends and girlfriends? But how does Li Shiqing handle each argument afterward?"

"Although Li Shiqing's decision led to Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing being questioned by the police for a whole day.

"But when Li Shiqing woke up in the next cycle, she did not use the silent treatment or blame anyone. After waking up, she even wanted to hand Xiao Heyun a tissue, and the first thing she said was not to blame him."

"On the contrary, I want to communicate to solve the problem."

What does this tell us?

……

Before they knew it, Li Haoyu and Lin Miaomiao had spent several hours in the office. The scratching of the fountain pen was particularly noticeable in the office.

Li Haoyu and Lin Miaomiao were discussing the plot.

The two of them were playfully bickering and having a great time...

It was actually a very romantic night.

Li Haoyu noticed that Lin Miaomiao's eyes were improving at a visible rate. He had to admit that Lin Miaomiao seemed really suited to be an actress.

Some people had no prior acting experience; for example, Lin Miaomiao didn't even understand the essence of acting. But it's undeniable that Lin Miaomiao was a natural gem.

Her innate talent is rare, and her natural qualities alone are enough to amaze people.

In this respect alone, Lin Miaomiao is enough to make many actresses with superb acting skills and hard work pale in comparison.

Some people are just born with natural talent; there's nothing you can do about it.

This is true for many child stars and talented actors.

They don't need to put in the effort to hone their acting skills; they can dominate the scene simply by relying on their unique and unconventional imagery.

However, it remains to be seen whether Lin Miaomiao's hidden qualities can be revealed and shine brightly.

This is a true test of a director's skills.

Fortunately, Li Haoyu understands Lin Miaomiao's inner self well enough to help her tap into her potential.

No one could be more suitable than Li Haoyu!

Li Haoyu glanced at his watch; it was getting late.

He silently got up.

Lin Miaomiao asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "I'll cook you some millet porridge. You didn't expect I had a rice cooker in my office."

"I learned a lot of porridge cooking tips from online tutorials so I could heat up some porridge when I got hungry at night."

「你知道吗？一般来说稠粥的米水比例是1:15，稀粥的米水比例是1:20；用米饭煮粥则用1碗饭+4碗水；」

"If you're using Job's tears, barley, sorghum, or similar grains, you'll need to use more water; if you're using a pressure cooker or a clay pot to cook porridge, you can use less water."

Lin Miaomiao was on edge all night.

She even smiled, something she rarely does.

Li Haoyu tried to make Lin Miaomiao happy.

Meanwhile, Li Haoyu wasn't idle either. He checked the time and tasted the porridge with a spoon. The porridge was cooked quite well and the consistency was just right.

Li Haoyu took out two more bowls from the cabinet.

He weighed out a bowl for Lin Miaomiao.

Li Haoyu then poured himself a bowl of porridge as well.

Seeing that the porridge was still quite hot, Li Haoyu said to Lin Miaomiao in a serious tone, "Actually, after this afternoon's rehearsal, I've discovered another huge advantage you have as the female lead."

"What advantages?"

Lin Miaomiao asked with some curiosity.

Li Haoyu continued, "That means your salary is really cheap, which saves me a lot of money."

Lin Miaomiao had originally wanted to hear how Li Haoyu would praise her.

This infuriated her.

"Go to hell."
