âUhâ¦â Liang Yin felt somewhat embarrassed. âWhy did you tell him about this? Itâs quite embarrassing!â
âWhy should you feel ashamed?â The actor said half-jokingly, âThe director has taken a liking to you. That means youâre pretty and have the makings of a celebrity. Shouldnât you be happy if you think about it that way?â
Liang Yin was at a loss for a reaction. Nevertheless, she was more curious about Qin Zhou.
âWhat did he say to Director Meng today?â
âI donât 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!â
âDonât spout nonsense.â
âWhat do you mean Iâm spouting nonsense? He actually came to visit the set today for the first time!â The actor huffed. âYou have no idea, but Iâve been on the set for so long, I havenât seen him visit. I canât believe he came today. Has his conscience finally kicked in?â
To Qin Zhou, Hua Jin probably belonged to the âfree-rangeâ 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 actorâs work, and only needed to release the schedule to the assistantâs 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. âSo ⦠do I join the crew directly?â
âYes, you can just join the crew! You donât have to worry about anything else. I heard that Qin Zhou even asked Meng Hao to arrange an assistant for you.â
âAn assistant arranged by Meng Hao?â Liang Yin was worried. She had a feeling that Meng Hao would not let her off so easily.
âDonât worry! Meng Hao wonât 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? Heâs just a lowly assistant director.â
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 directorâs or the producerâs 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.
âBy the way, weâve also decided on your pay. It will be the highest among the supporting roles. You will draw 100,000 per episode.â
âA⦠a hundred thousand?!â
âItâs 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!â
Liang Yin was flattered.
âThatâs nice,â Hua Jin said admiringly. âYouâre very fortunate. You know, you havenât even signed with the company yet. This way, you donât have to share a paycheck with anyone. When I first debuted. I didnât even get 1000,000 for a whole serial, let alone an episode. I was hungry for just some exposure alone.â
Liang Yin started to feel uneasy! She felt like she owed Qin Zhou too much. Why⦠did he treat her so well? Could it beâ¦
Was he interested in her? Liang Yin quickly dismissed this thought with a wave of her hand. What nonsense was she thinking!
