Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

"Your character sketch is quite good, but this is filming after all, and acting skills are still the most important thing... Shimin."

Guo Jingyu straightened his expression. Regardless of what he really thought, he still had to say it.

"Hey, Master, what's wrong?" Guo Shimin quickly chimed in.

"Why don't you go and act in a scene with Xiao Lin?" Guo Jingyu said calmly. Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, not minding at all.

Ju Xingmao, standing to the side, blinked and then cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Master, shall I do it?" he said in a clear and calm tone.

Guo Jingyu was slightly taken aback when she heard this. After all, the audition was mainly to see the actors' acting skills.

Therefore, the people usually cast as co-stars are directors and assistants who can't act; they are just there to pass on lines.

But Ju Xingmao used to be an actor, and his acting skills, while not exceptional, were certainly not bad!

Now that Ju Xingmao has taken the initiative to offer to act alongside Lin Yu, he must be extremely satisfied with Lin Yu to do so.

After all, sometimes, the effect created by two actors acting together is not as simple as 1+1=2.

Guo Jingyu raised an eyebrow, looked at Lin Yu, pondered for a moment, and nodded. Although he was the producer, this was, after all, his apprentice's production team.

Lin Yu was also somewhat surprised, but his heart remained calm.

As a former actor who had applied to thousands of film crews in his previous life, he had complete confidence in his acting skills.

He might be a little hesitant when it comes to connections, but when it comes to acting skills, he's absolutely confident that he can hold his own even against top actors!

Guo Jingyu flipped through the script in her hand and finally decided to audition for the scene in the first episode where Xia Dongqing and Zhao Li meet!

···

"One scene at a time, begin." Guo Jingyu, sitting at his desk, announced.

A look of pride and joy suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's face. In the previous scene, he had just persuaded Wang Xiaoya, who did not want to live, to come back to life.

Clearly, he quickly got into the zone.

"Is the matter finished?" Ju Xingmao asked, slightly surprised, but still asked in a low voice, with a hint of guidance.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, quickly realizing that he was the one taking care of him.

but···

"I'm done... I'm sorry about earlier, I left in a hurry." Lin Yu paused slightly as he said this, a perfectly timed look of embarrassment appearing on his face.

"Could you do me a favor?" His tone remained calm, but this time it was a full-blown display of acting skills.

His acting skills burst forth from his voice, lines, and body language, as if the two of them were in that convenience store, number 444.

Lin Yu at this moment is just like Xia Dongqing, who is currently pursuing a master's degree!

The sudden turn of events startled Ju Xingmao, who nearly lost his train of thought.

Fortunately, this scene was more of a casual conversation, so even if Lin Yu gave it his all, it wouldn't put much pressure on his co-star. Therefore, Ju Xingmao only paused for a moment before quickly regaining his composure.

Throughout the scene, Ju Xingmao's acting was consistently overshadowed by Lin Yu's.

After the entire scene was completed, Guo Jingyu's expression became somewhat strange.

It's worth noting that Ju Xingmao acted for several years before becoming a director. Although he didn't win any prestigious awards, he was quite skilled at acting.

Although Lin Yu had the advantage of striking first, he managed to dominate his opponent throughout the entire exchange! This was quite unbelievable!

As Lin Yu finished reciting the last line, Guo Jingyu quickly clapped her hands: "Okay, stop."

As Ju Xingmao quickly snapped out of character, the first thing that appeared on his face was an expression of ecstatic joy.

"Okay, okay!! Your name is Lin Yu, right? You're the one... uh, wait a minute." Ju Xingmao stopped mid-sentence when he suddenly noticed his master's constant glances.

Lin Yu watched this scene with a smile still on his face, his expression calm and unwavering.

His countless job interview rejections in his past life had made him calm and collected in the face of this kind of situation; after all, he had already given it his all.

As for the final choice? That depends on the outcome of the discussion between the two people in front of us.

Ju Xingmao and Guo Jingyu argued quietly under the table for a while, while Guo Shimin took the opportunity to hand Lin Yu a bottle of water.

About three to five minutes later, Guo and Ju finally raised their heads again.

"Lin Yu...right?" Guo Jingyu asked calmly.

Lin Yu nodded: "That's right, my name is Lin Yu."

Guo Jingyu casually flipped open the script, her voice still devoid of emotion: "You acted very well just now, but there are quite a few scenes in this play that require cross-dressing, so Manyi and I discussed it and decided to try another scene."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu nodded, quite cooperatively.

"Have you seen the kissing scene in episode eleven of the script, the one with the Ghost Festival visitor? Director Satisfied is playing Wang Xiaoya opposite you, want to give it a try?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, nodded firmly, and readily agreed: "Okay!"

Guo Jingyu nodded. Regardless of Lin Yu's ability to cross-dress, he was certainly very confident!

As Ju Xingmao came down again, he took out the script and pointed out a scene to Lin Yu, his voice reassuring: "Let's start acting from here. Don't be nervous, rest assured, just give it your best performance and you'll definitely succeed!"

Lin Yu nodded, then looked at Guo Jingyu and nodded again.

"Act 2, Scene 1, begin!" Guo Jingyu's booming voice rang out.

Lin Yu's expression also became somewhat dazed.

Ju Xingmao held the script, but his palms were a little sweaty.

His portrayal of this character is truly a cross-dressing role; it's quite a challenge for a grown man to play a somewhat silly young girl.

Fortunately, all he had to do was act.

As Lin Yu entered a dazed state, Ju Xingmao quickly struck a pose and recited Wang Xiaoya's slightly cringeworthy line: "Release the acupoints!"

Lin Yu's stunned expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and a charmingly mischievous smile appeared on his face.

In this scene, he plays Xia Dongqing, who is possessed by the ghost of Hades!

"I'll go." Ju Xingmao replied, while Lin Yu, with a mischievous smile, slowly and deliberately approached Ju Xingmao in a girlish manner.

"What's wrong with you?!" Seeing that Lin Yu didn't stop, Ju Xingmao continued to chat.

Lin Yu continued to act like a little girl, but a sense of unease rose in her heart.

"You're not going to molest me, are you?" Ju Xingmao was still saying when Lin Yu quickly placed one hand on his back and hugged him, but then his movements suddenly froze.

Next up is the kissing scene!

Looking at Ju Xingmao's buck teeth and shriveled mouth, Lin Yu felt a buzzing in his head.

He hasn't even gotten the role yet, is he really going to sacrifice himself for art? The thing is, this thing is really a bit hard for him to handle!

"Okay, click!"

Fortunately, Guo Jingyu's perverse sense of humor isn't that extreme!

As soon as he called "cut," Lin Yu quickly released Ju Xingmao, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
