Liang Yin only half-understood these things told to her.
Fortunately, she’d “reported” this matter to Hua Jin in advance because she’d also found it suspicious. She hadn’t expected there was so much more to it than what was immediately apparent.
“I won’t go then, in this case.” Liang Yin knew this opportunity was precious. Perhaps if she didn’t turn up, she might offend the assistant director. However, she was really reluctant to get involved in these things. If fame was going to cost her this much, she would rather not have it. “Sigh.” Liang Yin had underestimated her own experience.
Noticing how disappointed she look, Hua Jin consoled her. “It’s fine. It’s not like this is the only role there is. I’ll ask Qin Zhou later if the production team is still short of people.”
“It’s alright, don’t bother.” Liang Yin smiled and said, “Actually, I think it’s good to be an assistant. I can help you rehearse your scenes and even be a part of the audience.”
In this circle, one could often hear about certain gossips and shocking things by mingling around. Although it was quite morally destructive, Liang Yin was used to it, and even took it in with relish. The actor did not take it to heart. After all, Liang Yin didn’t seem to be taking it too affected.
That night, the actor was reading a script when his phone rang. He looked at the screen on his cell phone. It was the assistant director.
There were two assistant directors in this production team. One was a nominal director, and the other was Meng Hao, who was in charge of casting and management affairs. The actor did not make a special note against the man’s ID, but the crew all had organization codes. The actor recognized this code as belonging to Meng Hao.
Meng Hao would not normally call him unless there were important matters. Presumably, this must be related to Liang Yin.
As soon as he answered the call, the other party asked, “Hua Jin, what’s wrong with that assistant of yours? I told her there’s an audition tonight. Why isn’t she here? Besides, I can’t get through to her cell phone.”
“Director Meng, I heard about what happened today! I was the one who told Liang Yin not to go. Liang Yin is innocent. You may be able to deceive her but do you think you are able to deceive me? Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? In this circle, if you want a role, you have to go all out. However, Liang Yin is my assistant after all. Even on my account, you shouldn’t do this, right? And now you’re even coming to me to ask her whereabouts?”
There was dead silence. After a long while, Meng Hao laughed. Of course. Liang Yin must have told Hua Jin about this. Then he had nothing to hide. After all, she was only an assistant. Hua Jin would probably turn a blind eye at best and not bother.
Meng Hao was interested in Liang Yin. Her beauty is rare even in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry had undergone the plastic surgeon’s knife and looked like products manufactured out of the same production line. This applied to even the newcomers, who often style themselves after the latest up and coming young actresses. Previously, Yun Shishi’s pure and innocent look was all the rage and the trend was now suffering fatigue. There were not many natural beauties like Liang Yin. She was definitely a treasure.
The more Meng Hao looked at her, the more he found her appealing. “Aiya, this is an inevitable process. You should know it! Who doesn’t get there by this method? If she can’t even accept this, why be in the entertainment industry!”
The actor said rather flatly, “Director Meng, although you hold a great deal of authority, it’s better not to make yourself look this bad!”
