Yang Yibin felt as if he had encountered a fairy.
At this moment, Su Lingwei’s phone rang again. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Zhang Mingen calling.
Su Lingwei answered the phone, “Assistant Zhang.”
“Miss Su, have you arrived?” Zhang Mingen asked her over the phone.
Su Lingwei said, “I’ve reached the intersection in front of the school. I’ll be there soon.”
“We’re also at the school gate, so we’ll wait for you to come over.” Zhang Mingen and the director had already arrived.
Su Lingwei said okay and hung up the phone.
Turning back to see the young man still looking at her, Su Lingwei smiled at him and said, “It’s okay, you can go now. I also have things to do.”
With that, she turned and walked back, opened the car door, got in, started the car, and drove off.
Yang Yibin stood in place, watching the Maserati drive away. Just now, when he saw the beautiful young lady walk away, he had a momentary impulse to rush up and stop her, then get her contact information so he could compensate her for her loss.
But Yang Yibin ultimately resisted. He knew that if he did that, it would be such a foolish act. The beautiful young lady would only think he was trying to pick her up, which would be inappropriate. So, he didn’t rush up in a hot-headed manner.
The familiar ringtone of his phone brought Yang Yibin back to reality.
He quickly answered the call, and his friend’s voice came through, “Where are you? Have you arrived? There are already many people lined up outside the audition room for the drama. Let me tell you, this is a rare opportunity. They are specifically looking for unknowns for the male lead role. You are handsome and have good acting skills, just like tailor-made for you.”
“Alright, stop flattering me. If you keep going, I’ll be blown to the sky.” Yang Yibin quickly interrupted his friend. He understood his friend’s expectations and turned back towards his car, saying, “I’m already at the intersection in front of the school. I’ll be there in a moment. Hang up.”
After hanging up, Yang Yibin started his car and drove towards the school.
Su Lingwei drove to the entrance of the film academy and saw Zhang Mingen and the director’s car parked on the side of the road, waiting for her.
She drove over, rolled down the window, and greeted Zhang Mingen.
The director responsible for filming the TV drama was Director Wu. Su Lingwei had not met him many times, so they weren’t very familiar. When he saw Su Lingwei waving to Zhang Mingen, he also greeted Su Lingwei.
“Director Wu, thank you for your hard work,” Su Lingwei said.
Director Wu was a middle-aged man in his forties who had been filming TV dramas for many years. His specialty was historical dramas.
When Jiahe Entertainment was thriving, Director Wu also produced several highly popular historical dramas.
However, as the market gradually changed, Jiahe Entertainment began to decline, and the historical dramas Director Wu produced were no longer as popular as they used to be.
But even so, he still loved historical dramas and persisted in his dream of creating a prosperous era.
“The time is almost here. Let’s go in.”
The three parked their cars and walked to the audition room that had been booked in advance. The assistant director Liu Kun and other staff were already prepared.
The line outside the audition room had already formed, all students from the film academy waiting for their interviews.
Liu, the assistant director, brought the information of the students who had interviewed before. Su Lingwei casually flipped through them, her eyes stopping on one of the information sheets. She quickly scanned the information and smiled, “Not bad.”
“Ms. Su, shall we begin now?” Director Wu asked for Su Lingwei’s opinion.
Su Lingwei nodded and said, “Let’s start.”
Many people came for the audition today.
The production team was looking for a handsome and elegant male lead, someone who could also handle many fighting scenes, a general who could debate with the best in the court and lead armies on the battlefield.
The staff called out numbers, and each student had five minutes for the audition when their number was called.
After trying out several auditions in a row, there were some good ones, but they just felt like they were missing something, and he always felt like the male lead he wanted wasn’t there.
Su Lingwei asked Director Wu for his opinion, and Director Wu felt the same way.
“It’s just missing something,” Director Wu frowned.
“How about we look at the ones after?” Su Lingwei asked the staff to notify the next batch of people.
Soon, a handsome young man was led in by the staff.
Yang Yibin looked up and saw Su Lingwei sitting on the stage, in charge of the auditions. He clearly paused for a moment.
He should have guessed it earlier.
She had just gotten off the car, and from her mannerisms and appearance, it was obvious she wasn’t a student from the film academy.
Although there were plenty of wealthy people and various kinds of people in the film academy, she gave him a different feeling, like a delicate rose, thorny yet beautiful.
Su Lingwei saw Yang Yibin and nodded slightly to him.
When she had the car accident earlier, Su Lingwei had guessed he might be a student from the film academy.
Later, she got the auditionee’s information from the staff and happened to see the information form he filled out, which included a two-inch photo of him and a candid photo, which happened to match his appearance.
Su Lingwei learned his name—Yang Yibin, a pretty nice name, polite and well-matched with his looks.
At this moment, Director Wu beside her spoke, “You may begin.”
Yang Yibin started his audition.
Su Lingwei was about to see how he performed when Li Xinran called.
She didn’t know why Li Xinran was calling now, but she felt she must have something important.
Su Lingwei’s feelings for her best friend Li Xinran were extraordinary.
Li Xinran had helped her so much in her past life, and Su Lingwei had always remembered it. No matter what the situation, she would definitely answer Li Xinran’s call.
Su Lingwei quickly took the phone and stepped aside, pressing the answer button, “Xinran…”
“Help…”
Just as Su Lingwei started to speak, a cry for help came from Li Xinran through the phone.
