(2022.6.21 Author: Actually I've seen a lot of comments recently saying the original host is dead, why would there be emotional impact to commemorate~ This article is not long, everything that happened has its reasons, everyone be patient and read on~ Friends who are too entangled in details can avoid lightning~ Welcome new readers to join the pit, muah~)
Next up, Ji Nian hurriedly took some touched up photos after makeup and signed a contract. Cheng Liran's side also removed their makeup and hurried off to start shooting.
When passing by the woman, he stopped and looked into her eyes, lightly saying: “You’ve improved a lot.”
Ji Nian was stunned. Actually when they were taking photos together just now, the pain in her heart had gradually faded, but then the man came over to talk to her again.
She could only feel her nose turn sour as she suddenly wanted to cry. She tried hard to hold back her tears as her eyes grew wet. She answered: “Thank you.”
Seeing her trying hard not to cry, Cheng Liran felt somewhat guilty in his heart for unknown reasons. He lightly said: “Also that money...”
“I will pay you back!” Ji Nian didn't even wait for the man to finish before answering: “After some time, I will pay it all back.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Liran's eyes. He moved his lips but didn't say anything in the end, simply nodding and turning to leave.
Eighth Older Brother, who was on the side looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare, saw the man walk farther away again and hurriedly went after him.
Ji Nian took a deep breath, using her clothes to wipe her tears before remembering that she hadn't changed back yet. So she headed towards the dressing room.
He Yi pulled on Shen Shuyao's arm and said: “Don't you think Ji Nian looks pitiful from behind?”
Shen Shuyao frowned, feeling distressed as she said: “If I had known the male lead was Cheng Liran, I wouldn't have recommended her to come.”
“She told me last time that she was looking for a crew you were in,” He Yi said regretfully. “But it's also good. For people mixing in this circle, you can't avoid seeing each other forever right? This is accumulating experience for her.”
Shen Shuyao didn't say anything. She felt guilty inside, and seeing how the woman had secretly wiped tears with her sleeve earlier, as well as her lonely figure, she felt uncomfortable inside.
Yet Ji Nian, who had finished changing, didn't know that she had already been defined as a pitiful person by others.
She was still thinking about how much the original Ji Nian must have liked Cheng Liran for her body to have such a strong reaction upon seeing him.
“Changed your clothes?” He Yi said with a smile when she saw the approaching woman.
Ji Nian nodded. “Where do we go next?”
He Yi thought about it and answered: “You don't have anything scheduled right now. Bring the contract and script back, you'll be shooting the show in a week. Go back and ponder more about how to act out the role.”
Ji Nian was shocked. She had just remembered this thorny issue. My god, she still had to act!
She had barely passed the audition by chance thanks to the original Ji Nian's feelings for Cheng Liran causing her emotions to fluctuate.
If she had to act on her own, wouldn't that be a train wreck? No! She must find a way to resolve this. What exactly could she do to improve her acting?
Suddenly she remembered what He Yi had said. Or...find a teacher for some quick help? Temporarily cling on to Buddha's feet?
“Ji Nian...” Shen Shuyao looked apologetic and softly said: “I'm sorry, I didn't know the male lead was...”
Seeing the female lead looking so regretful, Ji Nian laughed and said: “It's fine, it's all in the past. And aren't you here anyway? The two of us working together, doesn't that make you happy?”
Seeing her indifference, a hint of delight flashed in Shen Shuyao's eyes. She grabbed her hand and said “Happy!”
“I'm happy too!” Ji Nian said with a smile.
“Tsk, tsk.” He Yi handed the script over with a displeased look, saying: “Not bad emotional management, better than before.”
Ji Nian rolled her eyes at her. “Well if that's all, I'll head back first.”
“Go back first. I still have to bring Shuyao to a shoot.” He Yi waved her hand, but still couldn't help reminding: “You need to lose weight for this role, it's a fairy image. You have to look good on camera. I'll have my assistant bring meals over for you these days.”
“Ok ok!”
After leaving the studio, Ji Nian immediately went online to search for acting teacher's information. But after half a day of searching, it seemed there were no channels to find teachers.
“Sigh...” She couldn't help but sigh, propping up her chin.
Her new driver and assistant Xiao Tang was sent over recently. Getting to have close contact with his idol these past two days excited him quite a bit.
As he drove, he pretended to casually ask: “Is sister Ji Nian worrying over something?”
Ji Nian raised her brows, looking at the young man sent over and said with a laugh: “How old are you, calling me sister.”
Xiao Tang scratched his head awkwardly and said: “I'm 20 this year. I know sister Ji Nian is 21.”
“Oh right, I almost forgot. You're my assistant after all.” Of course he would know her information. Ji Nian nodded and asked: “But aren't you quite young, and not in school anymore?”
Xiao Tang awkwardly answered: “I stopped school very early. My relative happened to work in the entertainment company and helped me get the assistant and driver jobs.”
“That's pretty good too.” Ji Nian said while still browsing information.
But then WeChat suddenly popped up a message from Yu Luobai. She stared with disbelief. Why was he looking for her?
Yu Luobai: Miss Ji, are you there?
Ji Nian: I'm here.
Yu Luobai: The royalty payments for (Ordinary Road) is being audited by the finance team before submission, so it will probably take some time before it comes down.
Ji Nian: That's fine.
Yu Luobai: Got it.
Just for this matter? The heavenly king personally contacted her? Ji Nian boringly looked at her phone screen. Then suddenly, inspiration struck.
Ji Nian: Teacher Yu, can I ask you for a favor? As repayment, I'll give you a song. What do you think?
Yu Luobai was somewhat puzzled over the phone, but his eyes were full of interest. He was still very curious about this woman and the mysterious person behind her.
Yu Luobai: What favor?
Ji Nian: I took on a drama role, the second female lead. The task is a bit difficult. You have good acting, do you have time to give me some lessons? (Cute expression)
Yu Luobai: I remember Miss Shen's acting is not bad either, and she's your friend too.
Ji Nian looked at the phone screen. Indeed, the female lead's acting must be good, but Shen Shuyao had just gotten popular, she had so many jobs she was close to living in hotels...
Ji Nian: She probably doesn't have time...
Yu Luobai: So do you think I have time?
Ji Nian was stunned. She suddenly remembered, he was a top tier heavenly king. If even Shen Shuyao was busy, then Yu Luobai must be even more busy... She was indeed too naive.
Ji Nian: Then...forget it. I lacked consideration.
Yu Luobai raised a brow. She gave up so quickly? He looked at the phone screen, thinking about his schedule lately. He wasn't exactly free, but making time shouldn't be an issue.
Her previous (Ordinary Road) was already shocking enough, and the song (Dream Wedding) made the entire musical composition industry go into an uproar.
He was quite curious what it would be like if it was another new song.
Yu Luobai: I can be your teacher too. Let me listen to the new song first to see if it's worth it.
Ji Nian looked at the reply, pleasantly surprised. Her mind raced as she hurriedly typed back.
Ji Nian: Guaranteed high quality with taste! Meet tomorrow?
Yu Luobai: Alright, Peng He will send you the address later.
Ji Nian: Great!
