When Lin Yan returned home that night, she saw Lin Yu on the sofa. She was in a good mood, so she took the initiative and said, “kid, have you not finished your homework? Do you want me to teach you how to do it?”
Lin Yu glared at Lin Yan and said, “where did you go today? I thought you didn’t have a job?”
Lin Yan could tell that Lin Yu did not want to talk to her. Lin Yu continued, “I don’t need you to teach me about my studies.”
Lin Yan thought that it was true. The book said that Lin Yan had a younger brother who was a school bully in the city. The teacher could not even manage him. The reason was that although he was naughty, his results were indeed good. Moreover, he did not cause any major problems.
Lin Yan nodded subconsciously and walked to her room.
The next day, Lin Yan was woken up by the alarm clock. She rubbed her hair and thought, ‘my poor working life is about to start. Lin Yan, you can do it.’
As usual, Lin Yan drove her Maserati to Joy Entertainment and entered the studio. She saw Su Yue talking to the other employees, so she went to Bai Fu’s office on the third floor.
She entered the studio and greeted Bai Fu. She went to grab a cup of coffee and waited for Su Yue.
Not long after, Bai Fu, who was wearing a green suit, came. Su Yue said to Lin Yan, “let’s go and sit in my studio for a while.”
Lin Yan greeted Su Yue and Bai Fu and came to Su Yue’s studio. Lin Yan looked at the black and white studio with a pot of green plants on the table. She felt that it was indeed Su Yue’s style.
Su Yue went out and poured herself a cup of coffee. She poured a cup of rose water for Lin Yan and said, “artists should drink less coffee.”
Lin Yan took the cup of water from Su Yue’s hand, nodded, and said thank you.
Su Yue stirred the coffee a few times and waited for Lin Yan to take a sip of water before saying, “today, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the set. In the afternoon, I have arranged for a few testers to conduct an acting test on you.”
Su Yue looked at Lin Yan, who was wearing a brown windbreaker, red lipstick, and a beret on her head. She felt that her looks were indeed top-notch.
When Lin Yan heard Su Yue’s words, she said confidently, “don’t worry, Su Yue. I still have confidence in my acting skills.”
“I feel like addressing you as Su Yue is too unfamiliar. In the future, we will spend a lot of time together. Why don’t I call you Su Su? You can call me Yan Yan. My family calls me that.”
When Su Yue heard Lin Yan’s words, she said, “okay, Yan Yan. It’s good to have confidence. I believe that you will also do well.”
“Let’s pack up now and get ready to go to the set. Today, I will take you to Xiyang Lake to see Senior’s filming scene.” Lin Yan put down the cup and said yes.
Su Yue and Lin Yan sat in the nanny van. Su Yue said to Lin Yan, “this car was assigned to you by the company. Because of CEO Bai’s instructions, you have a car to pick you up as soon as you arrive.”
“Some small actors may be jealous, but you should not quarrel with them. As an artist, you should always pay attention to your image.”
Lin Yan smiled and said to Su Yue, “Su Su, don’t worry. I’m not that nosy.” She thought to herself, ‘I’m not the same person as before. Don’t doubt me anymore.’
When the two of them arrived at Xiyang Lake, it was already close to 11 o’clock. However, the filming site was still in full swing. Su Yue brought Lin Yan to the director inside.
Su Yue greeted the director and sat beside Lin Yan to watch the filming. The director raised his head to look at Lin Yan and smiled at Su Yue. “This seedling is not bad. We’ll have the opportunity to work together in the future.”
Su Yue smiled and replied, “she’s indeed not bad. We’ll have to rely on director Xin more in the future.” Lin Yan smiled at the director and did not interrupt. After Su Yue and the director exchanged some pleasantries, the two of them sat quietly at the side.
Lin Yan looked at the scene in the machine beside the director and felt that it was indeed different from her previous understanding. The actors’ every move, every frown, and every smile had meaning. Only by fully integrating themselves with the character could they create a good character.
If their actions were too small, the audience would feel that the character was rigid and difficult to resonate with when they watched them. If the actions were too big, the audience would feel that they were overreacting.
Everyone had their own aesthetic standards, but in terms of emotions, everyone was the same.
After watching for nearly an hour, the director was directing from the side and saying, “cut, again. Good. Pass.”
After watching for almost an hour, Su Yue felt that it was about time, so she greeted the director and took Lin Yan to eat. Without a doubt, they would need to maintain a healthy diet together.
Lin Yan was depressed because she did not have any delicious food, but she could not resist Su Yue’s strict requirements. She thought that she should reward herself when she went back at night.
She also decided to find a suitable time to tell Su Yue that she would not gain weight no matter how she ate. She should treat herself better.
