Tang Xinrou regained her composure in a second. “Hey, Xu Yue, you changed so quickly?”
Xu Yue walked past Huo Jiu, her gaze focused in front. “Where’s Yaoyao?”
Tang Xinrou pointed at the office. Xu Yue pushed the door open and walked in without looking back.
“What the…”
Tang Xinrou was dumbfounded when she saw Xu Yue’s actions. She looked at the clear palm print on Huo Jiu’s face and her eyes flashed with uncontrollable curiosity. “The two of you…”
Huo Jiu lowered his eyes and smiled gently. “Miss Tang, I still have something to do. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Eh? Hey, hey!”
Tang Xinrou stood where she was and stomped her feet in anger.
These people had piqued her curiosity, but they were not responsible for answering her questions. It made her feel like she was in a mess and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
In the office, Xu Yue said softly, “Yaoyao, I’ve thought about it and I still don’t think I’m suitable to be an actress. Why don’t you look around again? That Zhongli Xue from last time…”
“Are you going back on your words?”
Song Yaoyao’s eyes narrowed and formed a dangerous arc.
Snap…
The ballpoint pen in her hand broke and Xu Yue’s back stiffened. “Ahem… don’t do this…”
“Do what?”
Song Yaoyao gently caressed the broken ballpoint pen and the tip of the pen trembled pitifully in her hand. She looked up innocently and looked Xu Yue in the eyes. She blinked and said, “I was careless. What did you just say? Say it again…”
Xu Yue: “…”
“I can’t…”
She hadn’t attended any professional classes and never had the thought of entering the entertainment industry in her life. At most, she had just observed Tang Xinrou film some of her scenes.
But this wasn’t even considered experience.
“It’s okay, I can wait for you.”
It was rare to come across such a suitable actor for a role. In this industry, there was never a shortage of directors who waited for the actors they liked, even if it took several years.
“I can wait until you feel that it’s okay. One year, two years, three years?”
Xu Yue and Song Yaoyao looked at each other. Her eyes were very dark and bright, and they shone with a serious light.
She was helpless. She knew that Song Yaoyao was not joking.
She was serious about waiting for her.
“Alright…”
Xu Yue sighed softly. “But I’m just a substitute. If you meet someone more suitable than me, you’re welcome to replace me. I’m just a manager…”
She had never thought that she would be able to become an artist one day.
Song Yaoyao snapped her fingers and her eyes curved. “Deal!”
–
“Miss Song, I heard that your movie has been shelved.” Zhongli Xue caught up with Song Yaoyao and questioned her.
“Yes, I don’t plan to shoot this movie for the time being.” Song Yaoyao nodded. She was not surprised that Zhongli Xue would know about this.
Zhongli Xue paused and asked hesitantly, “May I ask why?”
“Of course.”
Song Yaoyao shrugged, her smile rippling in her eyes. Along with the shining spring sun, it was so bright that it was dazzling.
“I found a suitable actress, but she currently thinks that with her acting skills, she is not qualified for the role of Xiao Man, so I’m giving her time to study.”
Zhongli Xue didn’t expect this answer. She had auditioned for the role last year.
Although she knew the result of the audition, she didn’t know the answer.
However, when she heard that Song Yaoyao chose someone else, she still found it hard to accept.
“Is that so…” Zhongli Xue smiled. “Is she a newcomer?”
“A pure newcomer.”
Moreover, she was a manager.
Song Yaoyao had revealed a lot of information; there was no need to tell Zhongli Xue any more.
If she really wanted to know, there was bound to be another way to find out.
“I got it.” Zhongli Xue’s eyelids drooped. When she looked up, she regained her composure. “Then I wish Miss Song’s movie can start shooting soon. I liked the script very much and hope to see it at the cinema soon.”
“Thank you.”
After their conversation was over, Zhongli Xue waved her hand and quickly walked towards the school gate.
There, beside a luxurious car, a handsome young man was smiling as he took the bag from Zhongli Xue’s hand.
Unintentionally, their gazes met.
Huo Ningxi did not avoid her gaze. Instead, he calmly looked into Song Yaoyao’s eyes and nodded as a greeting.
Song Yaoyao immediately averted her gaze.
…
Her plans had been put on hold indefinitely, and there was no hope of filming within a short period of time. However, Song Yaoyao could not stay idle either.
Coincidentally, there was a competition held in the school. Although it was obvious that it was for the animation department, the entire school could participate.
Song Yaoyao happened to have nothing to do, so she dragged Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen along to participate in the competition.
Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen, one was in the scriptwriting department, the other was in the directing department. They didn’t have any problems writing a script, but…
This was an anime! Not a live-action movie!
Who would draw the content? Even a few minutes of footage would consume a lot of manpower and energy.
“Should we go to the animation department to recruit some help?”
They had to work with a scriptwriter anyway. With Song Yaoyao’s fame, there would definitely be a lot of people willing to participate.
“Sure.” Song Yaoyao calmly took out a stack of drawing paper. “Find a few people to be my assistants.”
🇹🇭🇮🇸 🇨🇴🇳🇹🇪🇳🇹 🇸🇹🇴🇱🇪🇳 🇫🇷🇴🇲 ɳσʋҽʅႦιɳ
“Sure, I’ll post it right away… Wait, wait… What did you say?” Wang Jiayu had just taken out her phone when she heard what Song Yaoyao said. She was stunned. “Find a few assistants? Wait, what are you going to do?”
Song Yaoyao said matter-of-factly, “I’ll be the lead artist.”
Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen: “???”
It was as if they had lost their ears; they didn’t hear it clearly.
“Say it again?”
Song Yaoyao: “I’ll draw. I can do it.”
She had learned various skills in her previous life. After all, she wasn’t in good health, and she had many enemies targeting her because they knew that capturing Song Yaoyao was equivalent to capturing her parents and her brother.
After experiencing a few kidnappings, Song Yaoyao didn’t go out easily anymore.
Even though her parents and brother always suggested for her to go out and play, she always refused and stayed at home day after day for several years. Perhaps it was because of guilt and heartache, no matter what Song Yaoyao wanted to learn, even if she showed the slightest interest, her brother would invite a top expert in that field to personally teach her.
Song Yaoyao didn’t know how much she had learned. When she saw this competition come up, it wasn’t like she wanted to be famous, but she remembered that she also had some knowledge in this area, so she just treated it as participating in campus life and killing time.
Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen looked at her in doubt.
But very soon, their attitude changed. When they saw Song Yaoyao draw a lifelike animated character on the drawing paper with only a few strokes, Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen were stunned.
Later on, they watched as Song Yaoyao tried to draw the complete sequence and then skillfully used the appropriate software to create an animated scene. They were completely dumbfounded.
“Is this the world of a top students?”
Song Yaoyao touched her nose. “I don’t really know how to use this software properly…”
