Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

Several days have passed since Shuangzi suddenly found Lin Yu and gave him a mental massage.

Ever since she chatted with Lin Yu for a while, her mood seemed to have gradually improved.

However, while she was in a good mood, some people were not.

These past few days, Reba, who's been seething with jealousy, has been pestering him a lot with questions about Shuangzi.

Lin Yu had to coax him for a long time before he finally managed to get the matter over with.

···

"These were all found by President Yue. I've read them all. To be honest, the scripts are all pretty average. However, after these past few days of contacting them, I haven't really found any roles with significant weight..."

Xu Yan placed a pile of scripts on the table, sat down by herself, rubbed the corner of her eye, and looked quite troubled.

The filming of "Swords of Legends" is about to wrap up, but Lin Yu's next film crew seems to be nowhere in sight.

She has been trying to reach out to Lin Yu these past few days, but since Lin Yu doesn't have much popularity right now, she hasn't been able to access any good resources.

It's worth mentioning that the salaries for the cast and crew of "Swords of Legends" have finally been paid off these days.

After deducting the 20% that goes to the company and taxes, Lin Yu still has more than 700,000 yuan in his hands!

This amount of money may seem like a lot, but it's actually more of a hard-earned reward, considering that Lin Yu appeared in over 40 of the 50 episodes of "Swords of Legends"!

It's worth noting that Chen Weiting, an actor with absolutely no popularity in mainland China, still received a package deal of 150 million yuan in salary!

He was just the fourth male lead, not to mention Ma Tianyu, the third male lead, and Li Yifeng, the main character.

These are all incredibly high-quality, making Lin Yu, the second male lead, seem far superior in terms of value for money.

"It's okay, there's always a way out. We can just wait for 'Pendulum' to air before we talk about it."

Lin Yu, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

In reality, these days, only a handful of people can seamlessly join different production teams all year round; either they have the financial backing to promote them, or they have high popularity.

An actor like him, still relatively unknown, can only struggle within the industry.

"Phew, cut! Filming for the finale of 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' has wrapped!"

As Liang Shengquan shouted through a megaphone, Lin Yu, Shuangzi, Yang Mi, and Li Yifeng on the field couldn't help but smile.

After so much effort, this TV series, which took more than three months to complete, has finally come to an end!

"Tonight, Qingfeng Pavilion, 888 yuan for the private room, it's on me! A wrap party!"

Upon hearing this, the actors present couldn't help but cheer.

Lin Yu recorded a video and sent it to Dilraba, who had already finished filming and left.

Lin Yu had no idea how much effort her agent, Zhao Ruoyao, had secretly put in to make her leave so early.

Anyway, Liang Shengquan looked at him with a very mournful gaze during that period.

However, he didn't really care.

Early in the morning, Lin Yu unusually lingered in bed until noon before finally waking up.

These days, with filming back-to-back, including night scenes, morning scenes, and rain scenes, even Lin Yu is finding it a bit exhausting.

In addition, Lin Yu had drunk some alcohol at the wrap party last night, so he slept for an extremely long time.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Yu, who had just finished washing up, opened it.

"Here, at this hour, all we have left are noodles." Xu Yan handed over the noodles and then went into his room.

Lin Yu took the noodles, opened them without any hesitation, and started showing them off.

He slept for more than ten hours, which really made him starving.

"You haven't packed your luggage yet?" Xu Yan tilted her head, looking a little puzzled.

Lin Yu nodded: "Let's stay in Hengdian for now. Anyway, we don't have any work right now, so we might as well look for opportunities here. I remember the film crew booked this hotel for the 15th, right?"

Xu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Yu was eating noodles when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up casually, and was momentarily stunned.

"Hey, Director Liang, what's wrong?" Lin Yu asked, sounding somewhat surprised.

The caller was none other than the director of "Gu Jian"!

"Xiao Lin, you haven't returned to the capital yet, have you?" He sounded a little anxious.

Lin Yu nodded readily: "Not yet, what's wrong, Director?"

"I have a role coming up in a couple of days, but I can't get a number yet. Why don't you come and try your luck?" Liang Shengquan said in a relaxed tone.

Lin Yu listened with some surprise: "So, Director Liang, you're a workaholic?"

"Hey kid, you dare to tease me? So, are you coming or not?" Liang Shengquan was speechless.

"When? I need to report to the company," Lin Yu asked.

"Filming will start no later than the end of this month. You'll be playing a deeply affectionate character, and your scenes will only last for a little over a month. If you have any other projects later on, I can finish filming everything in half a month. I estimate the maximum salary I can give you is 300,000."

Liang Shengquan spoke quickly, recounting the entire situation regarding the film crew.

He wasn't involved much in the casting process for this drama, but now that filming is about to begin, he naturally wants to bring one of his own actors to assist him.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll have my agent check with the company. I'll get back to you later if possible."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu looked at Xu Yan, who was standing beside him with a surprised expression, and shook his phone.

"Look, the work has come."

As soon as Liang Shengquan sent him the script, Lin Yu ate noodles and carefully read the script in his hand.

The Perfect Bride

He finally withdrew from it after about thirty minutes.

Seeing the expectant look in Xu Yan's eyes, he sighed, but still waved his hand: "Report it to the company."

To be honest, this script list doesn't look very good.

Moreover, Lin Yu had never even heard of this drama in later generations, so it was probably a flop.

But now is not the time for Lin Yu to be picky about scripts; at least here, it's enough that his role isn't just a background character.

Xu Yan nodded and quickly went out to send an email to the company.

···

By mid-October, Lin Yu had moved Xu Yan from one hotel to another.

At the same time, he also began to participate in activities within the film crew alongside Liang Shengquan.

Most of the core members of the filming team this time are still the core members of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Lin Yu didn't need to put much effort into winning people over; after treating the staff to drinks a few times, they all recognized him.

It's worth mentioning that there has been a lot of discussion about Lin Yu online recently.

The reason is simple: the promotion for "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has begun.

Many fans and viewers questioned the fact that the second male lead was an unfamiliar face.

In their view, with Qiao Zhenyu as a shining example, it was surprising that the production team had chosen a newcomer, especially one who was so handsome.

Without a doubt, this is an unspoken rule!

Furthermore, Lin Yu's signing with Yuan Meijianxin was hardly a secret. This actor, who came from a background in war dramas, actually managed to snag a second male lead role in a period drama.

This is definitely a young man being kept by the older sister!

As for who will play the eldest sister? Various mainstream media outlets generally speculate that it will be Yang Mi.

Even more outrageous is the speculation that Lin Yu is the culprit who interfered in Shuangzi and Zhang Han's relationship, and the evidence... is simply that he is more handsome than Zhang Han.

Shuangzi and Yang Mi remained silent throughout, but some people couldn't sit still any longer...
