Fake it on a dating show

"You are the Ms. Lin who still showed affection in the special episode after being taken away by Mr. Zhao in that show."

Before meeting the director, Lin Xingyue imagined many kinds of opening lines——

Perhaps because Mr. Zhao's face is polite to him, or he has a poisonous tongue, he critically evaluates his appearance.

But the only thing I didn't expect was this sentence.

Lin Xingyue was stunned.

Most people in the company know that their boss took the same sex away on a dating show, even if they didn't know it at first, they would know it after a few glances at the trending searches.

Some people guessed that it was an intentional show, and some joked behind their backs that it must be true love, so that the cold-faced Mr. Zhao was willing to condescend to cooperate.

But except for Mo Yushuang who accidentally got into the company last time, Lin Xingyue didn't receive much harassment in this regard.

One of them was people who didn't have much contact with Zhao Minglang.

The second reason is that Lin Xingyue usually wears glasses, and with her bangs down, most of her face is covered. From head to toe, it is not rustic, but it is definitely not fashionable. Children are very different.

Even if she was walking on the road and occasionally heard people talking about the dating show, Lin Xingyue was never recognized by anyone.

I didn't expect the director to recognize her at a glance, but still remember such a long prefix.

As if seeing Lin Xingyue's panic, the director coughed lightly, and explained: "That program has been circulated almost all over the company, and I just watched it a few times by chance."

The director stretched out his hand to cover up the size of "a few eyes".

"Not bad cut," he said again.

Hearing the director repeatedly mentioning that program, Lin Xingyue was aroused a little curiosity.

She was on the show for money, and she didn't go back to watch it again after the filming was over.

During the filming, she also thought that her performance was not very exaggerated, except for sometimes deliberately holding hands and making physical contact, there should be nothing special.

When she got paid, she felt a little guilty.

But the excited person in charge wanted to grab her hand and shake it a few times—if Zhao Minglang wasn't by his side, he might have done that.

In short, it didn't look like she was unhappy, and Lin Xingyue guessed that her performance had met expectations.

In the end it was just a boring show.

At that time, Lin Xingyue still thought so.

Until now, Lin Xingyue didn't realize it, maybe she should watch that show, maybe she could see something unusual from the perspective of a bystander.

While in a daze, Zhao Minglang had already discussed with the director about changing actors.

The role I won for Qi Siyu was a supporting role, and there were a few lines, but it was not too important. In the end, it would not take much trouble to reshoot all of them. As for the person recommended by Mr. Zhao, the crew took a look and thought it was fine. The question was accepted, and the staff took her to make some preparations.

As for the character Mo Yushuang, it was even more troublesome.

Before Mo Yushuang entered the hospital, he had already filmed half of the filming, and he refused to come to the filming crew for a small part, which made the filming staff feel stuck in their throats.

Liquidated damages are nothing to Miss Mo at all, not to mention the relationship between the Zhao family and the Mo family, the big boss above can't afford to completely fall out with someone over this matter, so he can only temporarily retire as an injury.

And those scenes that have already been filmed... As far as the facts are concerned, they were all shot well. There were several scenes that even the director thought were very amazing.

Zhao Minglang was called over to discuss this matter.

"The best way now is to cut the scenes and find a young actor who looks like her to fill in the scenes..."

The director had already thought of several ways, looked at Lin Xingyue's face, but shook his head: "Miss Lin looks a little... bright, not suitable for being a stand-in."

Lin Xingyue and Mo Yushuang have completely different looks and temperaments. There is no similarity in eye shape and lip shape. Although they are tender, they are not good candidates to replace the role of the young version.

It is not impossible to replace it directly, but Lin Xingyue is not a professional actor after all, and it is not realistic to take on such an important role all at once.

While they were talking inside, the assistant director of the crew pushed the door in and was stunned when he saw Lin Xingyue.

"Have we met before?"

The director waved his hand: "Didn't you see it on the show? You recognized it when you took off your glasses."

Lin Xingyue took another look at the assistant director: "Are you from the crew of the criminal investigation drama?"

The assistant director was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead, showing a dazed expression: "Is it at Qingyun University, Mr. Shen's junior sister?"

Zhao Minglang glanced at them unexpectedly: "Do you know each other?"

Lin Xingyue replied: "In the past, when they filmed some TV series, they asked a brother of mine to guide them for some technical issues. At that time, I was in a laboratory with him and met once."

At that time, Lin Xingyue didn't hear anything outside the window, and only glanced at it. Now the assistant director's appearance hasn't changed much, so she still has some impressions.

The assistant director was very impressed with her. At that time, Lin Xingyue was much younger than now, but she was already able to stand in that kind of place.

However, several years have passed since now, and no matter how deep his impression is, it has been diluted by time.

The assistant director called the director to a corner, lowered his voice, and had a murmured discussion. When he turned around, his brows had already stretched a little.

"We happen to have a new character here." The director's expression has been mixed with a bit of flattery, "I don't know if Lin... Miss Lin is interested."

The new character existed in the original novel, but it wasn't as good as Mo Yushuang's character.

Coupled with the limitations of the expressiveness of the TV series, many plots and characters had to be deleted, and the characters they wanted to add after discussion were also among them.

It's just that in the case of Mo Yushuang's resignation, the addition of this character just happened to connect the plot, so it became the most convenient tool person.

"The main reason why this character was deleted before was because it would involve more professional academic things. Originally, there were not many scenes and it was easy to make mistakes, so I simply deleted and changed the plot, but since Ms. Lin, a professional, happens to be in..."

The director couldn't help showing a little bit of joy, which was a surprise to them.

"And Ms. Lin has a good relationship with Teacher Mo, right?" the director said, "Before she said that she would bring you into the group, and she also said that you would take her role."

It's not annoying at all.

If Lin Xingyue was used to make up for the part she was missing, there was no need to worry that Mo Yushuang would hold grudges.

Simply serve multiple purposes.

There is no need for Zhao Minglang to waste any more words, the director can't wait to tie up Lin Xingyue and keep Lin Xingyue.

On the contrary, Zhao Minglang was slightly displeased, but he spoke first, so he could only acquiesce.

After discussing with the crew, exchanging contact information with Lin Xingyue, and making an appointment for shooting, they reluctantly let her go.

Zhao Minglang was already very upset, he stood behind Lin Xingyue and glared at the director and others.

With cold eyes sweeping over, the director subconsciously withdrew his hand, and turned to the outside when he wanted to hold back the action, and made a "please go slowly" action.

"You are welcome to come and play anytime you are free."

"Actually, I just want to find free labor." Zhao Minglang ruthlessly pierced through the crew's careful thinking, "It costs a lot of money to hire professionals to provide technical guidance."

The cost of the crew in other places is too high, and the professional and technical things are complicated. It is both troublesome and costly to ask one by one, so they simply cut it out and weakened it a lot.

But at this time, just don't want it in vain.

"Isn't this also helping the company save costs?" The people behind muttered.

"Don't worry, I will ask them to settle the salary that should be paid to you later." Zhao Minglang said this to Lin Xingyue, "I won't make you work for nothing."

As expected of the generous Mr. Zhao.

The people behind sighed.

But the two who had gone far could no longer hear them.

On the way back, Zhao Minglang was still driving, and Lin Xingyue was sitting in the passenger seat, and with peace of mind, he started the blind date show that he had been thinking about before.

The episode where she and Zhao Minglang were together was easy to find, and it was the episode when the number of broadcasts started to skyrocket.

Subsequent installments also failed to surpass it.

Lin Xingyue was wearing earphones, her brows were furrowed.

Rewatching it again, apart from the strangeness of my own face with my bangs clipped off, only my embarrassing performance in that scene is worth noting.

The blush dyed from the cheeks to the base of the ears, he stuttered when he spoke, and his voice was trembling when he listened carefully, obviously he was too nervous.

Purely from the perspective of an "actor", Lin Xingyue felt that this performance should fail.

But obviously the audience's opinion is different from hers.

[Mom, they are so sweet]

[Civil Affairs Bureau, I moved here, please get married immediately]

[It's so cute]

[Here, the eyes are always glued to each other, probably this is love~]

[Excellent love always belongs to others, and I only have dog food slapped on my face randomly]

[Such a handsome young lady, please give me a dozen]

[Am I the only one who admires their courage?]

[Must be living in a very enlightened family]

……

Of course, there are also those who questioned their deliberate hype, clamoring from the beginning, "You can believe such a fake", "It's just a play on the spot" and other words.

Lin Xingyue felt guilty after watching it for a while, but she couldn't convince most of the audience. Many people chased and refuted, almost arguing in the bullet screen that flew past.

[I can't pretend to like someone]

[You can tell she likes you by looking into her eyes]

Someone said so.

Lin Xingyue was stunned, the progress bar happened to be in the middle and late stage, Zhao Minglang hardly took his eyes off her in that game.

Focused enough to give the illusion of affection.

Lin Xingyue's heart trembled slightly, like a feather was stirring back and forth on her heart, itching, but she couldn't escape.

At a certain moment, she suddenly wanted to turn her head and take a look at Zhao Minglang's eyes at the moment.

Zhao Minglang also stopped the car at the same moment, turned his head to look at Lin Xingyue, his lips moved, as if he had said something.

Lin Xingyue pulled off the earphones to hear her voice.

"...Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Zhao Minglang noticed Lin Xingyue's absent-mindedness, and crossed the gap in the middle, forcing the latter to subconsciously back a little, with his back pressed against the seat.

She lowered her head and inadvertently scanned the screen of the mobile phone in the other party's hand, and couldn't help but pause.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Minglang asked casually.

But she had seen what was playing on the screen, and the rows of words like "sweet," "sour," and "love" covering her face.

She reacted and raised her head again.

However, Lin Xingyue didn't feel the embarrassment she expected, and just looked at her with curious and probing eyes.

After a while, she answered the question: "Look at you."
