Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 732 - I Can Act Like An Evil Character

Chapter 732: I Can Act Like An Evil Character

The casting site was overcrowded, and Yan Jinyi sat at the judging table. For the first time, he discovered the sense of superiority of being in this position.

‘Awesome!’

As expected of students of a film academy, they were all very good-looking but none of them met Yan Jinyi’s expectations.

She didn’t have high expectations for the actors. As long as they were handsome and their acting skills weren’t awkward, she would accept them.

However, she had much higher requirements for the actresses. She needed the actress to have a lively aura and seem bubbly even when she wasn’t talking, just like herself.

Tao Wei accompanied her throughout the entire casting process. He was rather satisfied with many of the candidates but Yan Jinyi refused to let most of them pa.s.s. Her requirements were stricter than that of the casting for Hollywood films.

“Jinyi, I think you should play the female lead.”

The female lead of the novel was a very simple person who had always been kindhearted. She only rebelled and began to turn evil much later in the story, which was typical of novels about immortal heroes.

“I may be destined to forever be at odds against pretentious girls all my life.” Yan Jinyi winked at Tao Wei and said, “Let me star as the female lead. I can act like an evil and pretentious girl.”

She wanted to build her own team, so that she could have more confidence in the entertainment industry.

Since she wants to build her own team, every member of course, had to be unique and excellent.

“Mr. Zhao, are there any other outstanding female students you recommend?”

Mr. Zhao was the person in charge of communicating with Yan Jinyi this time, and he was also a famous teacher at the film academy, which was the alma mater of several famous celebrities.

“Yes, there is one more but she probably can’t attend the audition.” Mr. Zhao said regretfully. “It’s such a pity, she’ll have to waste several years of her youth.”

‘Has she been forced to go on a hiatus? That doesn’t seem necessary, she’s just a college student.’

“Why!?!”

“When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she partic.i.p.ated in the auditions held by an entertainment company that specializes in grooming aspiring female idols to debut as girl groups. The trainees who garner more money from fan support would obtain lightly better resources.”

Yan Jinyi nodded, expressing her understanding. Business models as such are quite common nowadays but this model is now quite common, but that would result a huge loss.

“This girl has garnered a lot of fans during the selection process because of her good looks, and she managed to clinch a contract with the entertainment company too. However, the company had been underpaying her by giving her only one-tenth of the profits from her performance. Besides, she insisted that she stop attending events because of college and is at a standstill with her company.”

“That’s simple, just terminate the contract!”

Mr. Zhao sighed and said, “If she terminates the contract unilaterally, she will have to pay five million yuan in liquidated damages. Besides, she doesn’t come from a wealthy family so there’s no way she’d be able to afford it. She’ll have to wait for three years before the contract expires.”

Five million in liquidated damages!

Yan Jinyi thought about it and said, “Mr. Zhao, please take me to meet that female student.”

She learned from Mr. Zhao that the female student was named Lu Jing and was extremely talented. She was good at singing and dancing, and she had superb acting skills too. Hence, she could improve very quickly. When she first enrolled, her performance can only be considered moderate. It had only been two years but she was already a star student.

Unfortunately, because of the clauses and restrictions stipulated in the contract that she signed with the company, she could at most only partic.i.p.ate in some musical theater performances.

She had just turned 20 years old, which was about the same age as Huo Qingyuan age. However, she was much more sensible than the spoiled brat, Huo Qingyuan.

Yan Jinyi was brought to a dance studio where lots of sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, lighting up the entire room.

The young woman was wearing practice attire and lying on the ground in a split. She was wearing earphones and seemed to have failed to notice her presence.

“Lu Jing.” Mr. Zhao called out to her.

Only then did Lu Jing take off her headphones and look at the door. She immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Zhao, isn’t this…”

‘Isn’t this Yan Jinyi, who has been the talk of the town lately?!’
