“Uh…” Liang Yin felt somewhat embarrassed. “Why did you tell him about this? It’s quite embarrassing!”
“Why should you feel ashamed?” The actor said half-jokingly, “The director has taken a liking to you. That means you’re pretty and have the makings of a celebrity. Shouldn’t you be happy if you think about it that way?”
Liang Yin was at a loss for a reaction. Nevertheless, she was more curious about Qin Zhou.
“What did he say to Director Meng today?”
“I don’t know what he said to Meng Hao, but Qin Zhou seemed angry. He probably had an argument with the man. Meng Hao arranged for you to join the production crew because he was afraid of causing trouble. This should be considered an exception for the crew! Haha, it feels like Qin Zhou cares about you!”
“Don’t spout nonsense.”
“What do you mean I’m spouting nonsense? He actually came to visit the set today for the first time!” The actor huffed. “You have no idea, but I’ve been on the set for so long, I haven’t seen him visit. I can’t believe he came today. Has his conscience finally kicked in?”
To Qin Zhou, Hua Jin probably belonged to the “free-range” category. Firstly, the actor was well behaved and did not cause any trouble. He never had cause for worry. Secondly, he had already made prior arrangements for all of the actor’s work, and only needed to release the schedule to the assistant’s email. Hua Jin simply followed the schedule.
Under such circumstances, Qin Zhou actually came personally to visit! Who knew what his intentions were!
Liang Yin remained skeptical. “So … do I join the crew directly?”
“Yes, you can just join the crew! You don’t have to worry about anything else. I heard that Qin Zhou even asked Meng Hao to arrange an assistant for you.”
“An assistant arranged by Meng Hao?” Liang Yin was worried. She had a feeling that Meng Hao would not let her off so easily.
“Don’t worry! Meng Hao won’t dare to offend you! In the past, no one dared to offend Qin Zhou because of his status. Now, Qin Zhou is even more established than before. Would Meng Hao dare? What a joke. What ability does he have? He’s just a lowly assistant director.”
Liang Yin was stunned to hear this.
During that time, when she was filming on set and going in and out of the film studio, she would often see women dressed to the nines, either hanging off the assistant director’s or the producer’s arm. They would walk down the street, smiling.
Even a mere assistant director was enough to give them such a rush. Now, according to Hua Jin, an assistant director was lowly. In this circle, the hierarchy really mattered. However, since Hua Jin had also advised her to join the production crew directly, Liang Yin just had to follow instructions.
“By the way, we’ve also decided on your pay. It will be the highest among the supporting roles. You will draw 100,000 per episode.”
“A… a hundred thousand?!”
“It’s probably because of Qin Zhou. However, the production team dared to make such an offer because Huanyu is one of the investors. Anyway, just take it that it comes from Qin Zhou!”
Liang Yin was flattered.
“That’s nice,” Hua Jin said admiringly. “You’re very fortunate. You know, you haven’t even signed with the company yet. This way, you don’t have to share a paycheck with anyone. When I first debuted. I didn’t even get 1000,000 for a whole serial, let alone an episode. I was hungry for just some exposure alone.”
Liang Yin started to feel uneasy! She felt like she owed Qin Zhou too much. Why… did he treat her so well? Could it be…
Was he interested in her? Liang Yin quickly dismissed this thought with a wave of her hand. What nonsense was she thinking!
