Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

Chapter 17 Full Pavilion

Having finished eating, Lin Zhihao left early.

Just as she turned on her phone, ready to dominate the game, it pushed a notification to her about the start of filming for "Manting".

She clicked on it casually.

It had already become the number one trending topic just three hours after its release.

The comments section was filled with praise.

[Ahhhhhh, I can't believe I'm actually going to see Jing Qingqing and Li Jiaheng team up again in my lifetime!]

I can't even imagine how good this show will be.

What's this drama about?

[The ladies upstairs can check out the story background first; it's been posted on the official account. It's a historical romance drama.]

【Ancient Illusion? 】

[Holy crap, does that mean Li Yingdi is going to unlock a new ancient costume skin?!]

[Ahhhh, I can't wait!!]

As Lin Zhihao scrolled through the page, all she saw were cheers and applause from netizens.

It would be a lie to say there was no pressure. The huge success of "Full Pavilion" was inevitable, and Lin Zhihao never thought of going head-to-head with the Best Actor and Actress, given their influence.

What they need to do is leverage the popularity of "Manting" to bring the drama starring He Manman and Shi Xingchen into the public eye, aiming to turn their careers around.

Therefore, "I Know I Like You" will be extremely cautious in casting and filming.

Lin Zhihao exited the browsing page and was about to enter the game when He Manman suddenly called.

"Sister Lin~" He Manman on the screen looked dejected.

"How have you been lately?" Lin Zhi asked with a smile, looking at He Manman's chubby face.

"It's alright, just a little tiring. Sister Lin, when are you coming to visit the set?"

"I'll go over there since it's the weekend."

"Ah~ There are still three days left. Can't you come see me right away? Even Shi Xingchen misses you."

Shi Xingchen: ?

He Manman turned the camera to Shi Xingchen. Seeing Lin Zhihao on the screen, Shi Xingchen greeted her politely, "Good evening, sister."

Lin Zhihao smiled and lowered her eyes, "I watched the video Nick sent me today, and you two seem to be getting along quite well."

"Of course! Since we've decided to do it, we definitely want to do it well." He Manman said proudly, which made Shi Xingchen, who was also showing half her face, blush slightly.

To ensure the smooth progress of the filming, the two of them specifically sought out a school to experience being transfer students for a week and familiarize themselves with the campus environment beforehand.

The problem facing Lin Zhihao now is how to find other supporting actors.

In the middle of the night, a post by director He Yu on a private account on a certain platform, about looking for actors for a film called "I Know I Like You," quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches.

He Yu is famous for directing campus dramas. You can say that other types of dramas she directs are not good, but you absolutely cannot say that the campus dramas she directs are not good, because He Yu has a nickname: 'the ceiling of campus dramas'.

In the morning, while Lin Zhihao was still writing furiously in Li Haiping's class, He Yu's post already had tens of thousands of replies.

Happy Chinese New Year!

[Best Actor and Actress Team Up Again, Director He Yu Releases New Drama, What's Going On? Is the Chinese entertainment industry not planning to film any dramas tomorrow?]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Looking forward to it! But the post only mentions recruiting supporting roles. What about the main characters? Have they already been decided??]

[Yeah, I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Who are the male and female leads?]

Fans of all the actors who have acted in campus dramas believe that their favorite actor will be chosen. He Yu did not respond to the netizens' questions because the auditions were starting on the weekend, and she needed to prepare in advance due to the tight schedule and heavy workload.

Under He Yu's leadership, the production team of "I Know I Like You" made thorough preparations for the important supporting roles.

When the weekend came, Lin Zhihao also made some major changes to herself before going to the film set for the audition.

There were many people there, but Lin Zhihao did not sit directly next to the director. Instead, she found a separate room and observed the actors' performances through a camera.

The day passed quickly, and suitable actors were found for almost all the supporting roles, except for one role for which a suitable actor could not be found.

Lin Zhihao sat in front of the screen, yawning repeatedly.

"Ah~ Ha~, um..."

Just as the last person with the number on their ticket came in and finished their interview, and Lin Zhihao and the production team were about to give up, a boy covered in sweat pushed open the door.

"Hello, is this where the crew of 'I Know I Like You' is auditioning?"

The judges on the directing team all looked up, and Lin Zhihao, who had been dozing off, immediately sat up straight. "He's here!"

The boy in front of me was nervously wringing his hands. A staff member handed him a tissue. By all accounts, he was already late.

Lin Zhihao picked up the walkie-talkie beside her. "Director, give him a chance."

After wiping his sweat, the boy nervously asked, "Can I still go for the interview?"

The assistant director next to He Yu said, "It's alright. Don't be nervous. Take a moment to calm down, and when you're ready, just tell us, and we'll give you the script for your audition."

Jinling took a few deep breaths.

"I'm ready."

"Let him try the scene where he talks to the female lead on the playground."

Lin Zhihao issued instructions through the assistant director's earpiece.

"Then please act out the scene of your heart-to-heart talk for us."

This scene is a great test of the actor's ability to handle emotions and change his gaze, because it is this heart-to-heart talk that makes the male supporting character realize that he has fallen in love with the female lead, but because of his special relationship with the male and female leads, he can only keep his feelings to himself.

Jinling lowered his head, and when he looked up, his eyes changed.

"Hey, Chen, you're always chasing after Lin Yi, why did you suddenly ask me out today?"

When the crew members met Jinling's eyes, they were stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what she meant.

"Duan Chengxin, tell me, is there really no possibility between us?"

Jinling smiled slightly, "I believe in you, you can definitely do it. If you like someone, you should try to win them over. What if, what if the other person sees it?"

"Then, Duan Chengxin, how about we pretend to be together? If we do that, will I be able to find out how he feels about me?"

Jinling: "..."

The staff member turned his head. "Hmm?"

Jinling suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, as long as it helps you."

"Ah, Duan Chengxin, thank you so much. You're such a kind person."

The staff member turned her head, and Jinling stared at her profile. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes remained fixed on the staff member for a long time.

"Okay, card~"

"Waaaaah, can't the female lead really be with the male supporting character?" Some of the staff watching the scene had already teared up.

"He didn't say anything, but it's like he said everything."

"His eyes can speak."

After watching Jin Ling's performance, Lin Zhihao knew that he was the one for the role of Duan Chengxin.

Before the audition began, Shi Xingchen called her and asked her to give his good friend a chance.

Trusting Shi Xingchen, she agreed, and the result did not disappoint her.
