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

The two then engaged in another round of playful banter. ♔🎄 ➅➈ѕ𝕙ᑌχ.𝓒𝓞Μ ✎☠

Seeing that the porridge had cooled down enough, Li Haoyu rummaged around in his office and somehow managed to find another packet of pickled vegetables, which he then put quite a bit of in Lin Miaomiao's bowl.

Li Haoyu then sat down.

He tasted the porridge he had cooked himself.

Actually, according to Li Haoyu, today is Thursday. If Lin Miaomiao weren't around, ordering a Crazy Family Bucket would be a great idea.

However, Lin Miaomiao's stomach had never been very good, and eating fried food late at night was indeed a bit greasy. Li Haoyu then gave up on this tempting idea.

Lin Miaomiao, on the contrary, seemed to enjoy drinking very much.

Li Haoyu's porridge was surprisingly good, with a warm and pleasant aroma. The porridge slid from her mouth into her heart, making Lin Miaomiao feel warm and comforted.

Now, she wasn't so bothered by Li Haoyu anymore.

Lin Miaomiao felt that Li Haoyu was actually quite good, except for his tendency to act on his own. Li Haoyu could barely be considered a qualified boyfriend.

It's true what they say about Lin Miaomiao after she drank a bowl of hot porridge.

She clearly felt much warmer. The physical exertion she had expended during rehearsals that day had also been greatly relieved. Lin Miaomiao pulled a few tissues from the table and wiped her mouth first.

Then she saw Li Haoyu standing to the side.

Lin Miaomiao could no longer hold back.

She reached out and gently brushed the rice stains from Li Haoyu's lips, saying, "Drink slowly like a starving ghost. Nobody's going to take it from you."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. In his mind, it must be that his performance today had completely won over Lin Miaomiao. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wiped his mouth for him so unusually.

Li Haoyu patted Lin Miaomiao on the shoulder.

"See? I told you you could totally do it. Now you have confidence, right? I told you a long time ago that listening to me would be the right thing to do, but you still didn't believe me."

Li Haoyu suddenly became very talkative, trying to continue building Lin Miaomiao's confidence. Lin Miaomiao gave an awkward smile, nodding occasionally and shaking her head at other times.

Li Haoyu is really pushing himself too hard right now.

Lin Miaomiao originally wanted to stop Li Haoyu, but when she saw that Li Haoyu was still talking non-stop, Lin Miaomiao really couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Finally… Lin Miaomiao interrupted Li Haoyu, “Ahem… have you said enough? I’ve really put up with you for a long time.”

Li Haoyu said helplessly, "You really are a case of discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose... I spent a whole day training you myself, and now I have to listen to your criticism."

"It's really hard to be a man, but it's even harder to be your boyfriend, Lin Miaomiao."

"You're really hard to deal with."

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but say, "I admit you deserve credit, okay?"

Before Lin Miaomiao could say anything more...

Li Haoyu waved his hand again and said, "Alright, I know. There's nothing I can do. It seems this is my fate. 🎄💀 ❻➈𝓼Ĥυ𝔵.ᑕ𝕠𝓂 🐤🐯 What can I do? I like you. I have no choice but to accept my fate."

"Then you must keep up the good work!"

Lin Miaomiao glanced at Li Haoyu.

Lin Miaomiao was too lazy to argue with Li Haoyu, so she could only say perfunctorily, "You've really worked hard. I'm so touched I almost cried."

Clearly, Lin Miaomiao has figured this out.

It's unrealistic to interrupt Li Haoyu now; he's clearly gone "mad."

But Lin Miaomiao didn't say anything more; she just continued to listen silently. For some reason, she felt that Li Haoyu, despite his talkative nature, wasn't so bad after all…

It's no wonder Li Haoyu couldn't stop the car.

Actually, it's about showing off in front of the girl you like.

It was indeed a very enjoyable thing.

Especially when faced with a stubborn girl like Lin Miaomiao, who couldn't refute him at all, Li Haoyu instantly felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Li Haoyu continued, "How about acting? It's not as difficult as you think, especially since I'll be there to coach your acting skills..."

Lin Miaomiao shook her head and said, "No, Director Li, how could you be an ordinary person? You are a great director who can turn anything into gold. Without you, I don't know how I would have regained my confidence."

"That's going too far. Although I know I'll succeed sooner or later, I haven't achieved anything yet, so it's too early to say that. I should keep a low profile."

Li Haoyu shook his head and said.

"This isn't just my achievement; you're also exceptionally talented, otherwise even I couldn't have done it. I have to give you a thumbs up."

When Li Haoyu said this, he also secretly glanced at Lin Miaomiao.

Sure enough, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but smile.

The curve of her lips betrayed her.

Li Haoyu pressed his advantage, saying, "Isn't acting not that difficult? Acting can be quite a fun thing, right?"

Lin Miaomiao nodded, "It really is quite interesting."

"Right? I wouldn't hurt you."

…………

After Li Haoyu poured a series of sweet words into him,

He continued to observe Lin Miaomiao's expression.

Although Lin Miaomiao is still a little shy and even uses modest language, the smug little expression in her eyes is becoming more and more obvious.

Li Haoyu's praise became increasingly effusive.

He was like a big liar who deceived young girls.

However… Lin Miaomiao suddenly realized:

It turns out that Li Haoyu had unknowingly completely lured her onto his treacherous path. Lin Miaomiao's original intention was to persuade Li Haoyu to give up his absurd idea of ​​playing the female lead.

How did she unknowingly fall into Li Haoyu's trap again? ☺👤 ❻❾s𝓱ยЖ.ς𝔬ϻ 🍫👑

But now she has no way to back out.

When Lin Miaomiao thought of this...

She finally understood Li Haoyu's sinister intentions!

No wonder there's a scene about cooking porridge late at night; this is such an absurd idol drama plot. It must have been premeditated, otherwise, these rice cookers are really hard to explain.

Lin Miaomiao glanced at Li Haoyu, then at the empty bowl in her hand... Indeed, the most skilled hunters often appear as the prey.

Lin Miaomiao kept wondering if she was too stupid or Li Haoyu was too cunning. No matter how wary she was of Li Haoyu, he always managed to outsmart her with methods she could never have imagined.

His tactics are truly unpredictable.

Take this time for example, she originally wanted to come and confront him.

As a result, things have inexplicably turned into this situation.

Li Haoyu seems to be very good at exploiting human weaknesses?

Could it be that Li Haoyu's childlike behavior in front of her was all an act? Lin Miaomiao glanced at Li Haoyu, who was beaming with excitement, looking just like a silly deer.

Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but doubt her own judgment again.

...............

It was already late at night.

Li Haoyu tentatively said to Lin Miaomiao, "Actress Lin, it's getting late. Why don't you come home with me? We can discuss the script more thoroughly."

Lin Miaomiao did not directly reject Li Haoyu.

"Actually, it's not impossible... but Director Li, I can't let you down! I'm not very familiar with the rest of the script, so I need to go back and memorize my lines right now."

"I wouldn't dare ruin your career, Director Li, because of my own actions. By the way, Director Li, um... may I take this script, which is so meaningful and filled with your notes, with me?"

Li Haoyu also knew that Lin Miaomiao was like this.

She won't give herself any more chances.

He waved to Lin Miaomiao, "Don't worry, take it. I'm all yours now. This is nothing. Don't forget to call me when you get home to let me know you're safe."

Lin Miaomiao nodded, "Okay! Thank you so much, Director Li! I'm almost in tears."

Li Haoyu waved his hand, "Okay, then you should hurry up and go. Remember to try your best to memorize your lines when you get back."

Lin Miaomiao then pointed to the rice cooker, "By the way, Director Li, I'm still a little hungry. Would you mind if I packed up these leftovers and took them home?"

"I'm still an unknown actor, and I can't even afford to eat. I sometimes go hungry and sometimes have a full meal."

Li Haoyu pointed to the distance again, "It's okay, take whatever you want. Don't forget there's half a packet of pickled vegetables left over there, remember to take that too. As long as you're happy!"

Li Haoyu said that Lin Miaomiao really likes role-playing.

He originally intended to tease Lin Miaomiao.

The outcome was something Li Haoyu hadn't expected:

Lin Miaomiao really did what she said she would do; she's a woman of action.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Miaomiao had taken the entire rice cooker. This made Li Haoyu exclaim, "Lin Miaomiao is really ruthless!"

Li Haoyu watched Lin Miaomiao's receding figure quietly.

He glanced again at the office, which had been "completely looted".

Li Haoyu felt a strange mix of amusement and frustration. He had clearly been in control the whole time, so why did he end up looking like he had lost so badly?

This is really a bit embarrassing.

……

Lin Miaomiao hailed a taxi.

She couldn't help but look back.

Lin Miaomiao noticed that Li Haoyu was still standing in the same spot.

She looked down and sent a message to Li Haoyu.

"Director Li, I'm very satisfied this time... I'd like to talk to you about the script again next time. But next time, don't be so stingy, at least bring some more delicious snacks."

[A book-tracking app recommended to me by a book-switching friend of ten years! It's incredibly useful; I use it to listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here.]

Li Haoyu was still standing in the same spot.

He glanced at his phone and saw Lin Miaomiao's text message.

Lin Miaomiao is really a bit arrogant!

He immediately picked up his phone and replied to Lin Miaomiao's text message.

"Lin Miaomiao, you're really getting a little too big for your britches."

"It seems you don't realize the power a director wields. You just wait, once 'The Beginning' officially starts filming, I'll make sure you're dealt with properly."

Lin Miaomiao did not reply.

She simply sent a beckoning finger emoji.

Lin Miaomiao continued typing.

"Then you'd better hurry up and take action! I've been waiting forever. You know I hate men who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk. You're not one of those guys who just talks big, are you?"

Lin Miaomiao's taunts were absolutely scathing.

Li Haoyu was too lazy to argue.

Actually, anyone with a girlfriend knows this.

Most people are well aware of women's innate "debating" ability. When arguing with your girlfriend, the worst thing you can do is try to reason with her. It's not only useless, but it can also backfire!

When you make your girlfriend angry.

At this point, you absolutely cannot say that she is wrong.

You also have to be very tactful in explaining to her what the right thing to do is. Otherwise, if you don't handle the situation well, you'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Li Haoyu silently made up his mind.

It seems Lin Miaomiao really needs to be taught a lesson. Then don't blame him for being ruthless in his pursuit of her. Once he finishes "The Beginning," it will be time to completely win Lin Miaomiao over.

Li Haoyu was interested in taking a look.

Would Lin Miaomiao still be so stubborn back then?

Li Haoyu thought of those shameful scenes.

He was a little excited!

………………

The casting for "The Beginning" has finally been finalized. Since signing his contract with the director, Li Haoyu has been busy coordinating the schedules of the other actors.

After working on it for a while, everything is finally ready.

This also means that Li Haoyu's promise must be fulfilled.

Because the script workshop for "The Beginning" is about to begin.

Script reading sessions aren't really anything fancy.

Actually, the earliest origin of script reading meetings was more like the first time all members of the production team had a meal together, so that everyone could get to know each other and facilitate subsequent work.

The process is very simple: everyone sits around a table and introduces themselves one by one, stating their name and position.

Finally, the director or producer may give a passionate speech to explain their goals and expectations for the production of this TV series.

Later, I felt that simply greeting people was too formalistic, so I gradually added the process of everyone studying the script together. However, the script study sessions did have many benefits.

First, it is important to ensure that the actors understand the script. When the script is still just words on paper, the screenwriter's intentions may not always be understood by all the actors for various reasons.

Therefore, during script readings, actors can identify areas that are not smooth, such as asking questions about lines they don't understand and receiving answers.

Secondly, it compensates for the lack of perspective in screenwriters.

Screenwriters find it difficult to truly project themselves into the perspective of each character, while actors can focus on the viewpoint of the character they are playing.

Sometimes you can discover things that the playwright might have missed, and point out the illogicality of certain details.

Diligent actors write character biographies to enrich their perspectives and clarify the emotional foundation of certain scenes during script readings. Furthermore, the interaction and inspiration generated between actors during script readings also contribute to the overall creative process.

Script reading sessions are also an excellent opportunity for everyone to brainstorm and work together to improve production quality. These details may seem insignificant, but they actually greatly enhance the creative process of the entire production team.

However, for the other actors in "The Beginning," it was just a routine procedure. But for Li Haoyu and Lin Miaomiao, it wasn't so simple.

After all, Li Haoyu is in charge of the "Beginning" production team, so he definitely has to be responsible for what he said. Last time, he boasted in front of so many actors that he would prove their acting skills.

Now it's time to truly deliver on that promise.

This also means that Lin Miaomiao and Li Haoyu will fulfill their promise in front of all the actors of "The Beginning" and conduct their final audition in front of everyone.

Anyway, if his and Lin Miaomiao's performance is terrible, Li Haoyu really won't have the face to stay in the "Beginning" crew.

He's a man who cares a lot about his reputation.
