Hua Jin said generously, âIâll transfer it directly to your account!â
âOkay.â Liang Yin gave him her bank account number.
The man entered it on his cell phone. Moments later, Liang Yinâs phone beeped with an alert of incoming payment. Liang Yin picked up her phone and took a look. She received a text message notification that she had received a million yuan. Her eyes widened in shock!
âA mil⦠million!â
âUh huh.â
âThat much!?â
Liang Yin had never seen so much money in all her life, so she was dumbfounded.
A million! All that money, for the little filming that she had done? To her, this money was like a pie falling from the sky.
âYou covered two episodes for me. I told you before, weâll split the pay fifty-fifty. One million for two episodes.â
He grinned at her and added, âBesides, youâre a good actor. Youâre worth the money.â
Liang Yin hugged her phone in surprise and happiness.
Hua Jin couldnât help but laugh at her expression. âDoes it feel like youâve suddenly become a tycoon?â
âHaha! You know, some people in my hometown demolished a few hundred square meters of private property with a courtyard. Guess how much it cost?â
âHow much?â
â800 thousand!â
The actor expressed surprise. âWhat kind of backwater is your hometown? Why does it cost only 800 thousand?â
âAnyway, itâs not far from the capital, but itâs been developed into a highway!â
After all, to Liang Yin, getting a million yuan for a little acting was undoubtedly like winning the lottery.
She stood up and patted Hua Jinâs shoulder generously. âLetâs go. Iâll treat you to pizza today!â
âWow, Boss Liang is so generous!â
There was a western restaurant in the studio city. It offered good privacy through a private rooms-only set up. Most paparazzi wouldnât be able to sneak in, so the vast majority of celebrities liked to dine at this western restaurant.
On the way, they ran into some celebrities. When they saw Hua Jin, they greeted him respectfully. Although he was not a veteran actor in the entertainment industry, his acting skills stood out among the new generation of good looking young actors. The producers and directors in the industry thought highly of him, and he had many acting contracts under his belt.
At the entrance of the western restaurant, they ran into the assistant director of âHeavy Snowâ. Usually, in a crew, the assistant director would be in charge of casting.
The assistant director started lamenting when he saw Hua Jin. âSomethingâs happened in the crew recently.â
âWhat happened?â The actor was naturally concerned when he saw the assistant director looking troubled.
âDidnât you know? The director got rid of Li Jing.â
âGot rid of?â The actor looked surprised. âAh, whoâs Jing Li, anyway?â
âAiyaâ¦â The director knew that Hua Jin didnât usually socialize closely with other actresses, so he simply mentioned, âThe one who plays the KokakuchÅ.â
âKokakuchÅ⦠the aunty?â
Although Li Jing seemed young in appearance, she was in fact quite old. Hence, everyone in the production team called her âAuntyâ.
âWhy did they get rid of her?â
âShe messed around in the production team and got pregnant. She disappeared from filming for a few days. Later, the director found out that she was pregnant and had gone for an abortion. Director Gu fired her in a fit of anger. Now, itâs been hard on me. I have to re-cast this KokakuchÅ role. The better-known actors already have filming contracts. As you know, Director Gu hates actors and actresses who are involved in multiple productions. And many of those lesser known actors obviously have had plastic surgery on their faces and no affinity with the audience.â
