Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 649 Then I’m Really Finished

"It's over, it's over. What should I do?" Li Zhiyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the room.

As he walked, he kept muttering: "This is an opportunity I fought so hard for. If this fails, I will be really finished!"

Lin Ke felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Li Zhiyuan's anxious look.

He knew how much effort Li Zhiyuan had put into this play, and now it was on the verge of success, but suddenly encountered such a change. No matter who it was, it would be difficult to accept it.

"Director Li, don't worry. There will always be a way out when we reach the mountain. Let's think of a solution. There will definitely be a solution." Lin Ke comforted.

"What else can I do?" Li Zhiyuan sat down on the sofa, looking worried. "Nowadays, famous actresses in the industry either can't make it, or they just don't like our show. What can I do?"

Lin Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Director Li, I have an idea, but I wonder if it will work."

"What's your idea? Tell me!" Li Zhiyuan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Lin Ke with burning eyes.

"I know someone who has a great talent for acting, and her image and temperament are very suitable for this role. I just don't know if she is willing to come and film." Lin Ke said slowly.

"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Li Zhiyuan asked impatiently.

"Her name is..." Lin Ke was about to say the name, but suddenly stopped, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong? Why don't you say anything?" Li Zhiyuan became even more anxious when he saw Lin Ke hesitated to speak.

"Director Li, it's like this. My friend...she hasn't had much experience in filming before, and she's just an ordinary person now. I'm worried..." Lin Ke found it difficult to speak.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that she won't act well?" Li Zhiyuan took over Lin Ke's conversation and asked.

Lin Ke nodded and said, "Yes, I'm worried that she has no experience and will hinder the progress of the crew, and..."

"Okay, don't worry!" Li Zhiyuan waved his hand and interrupted Lin Ke. "As long as she really has acting talent, everything else is not a problem!"

"But..." Lin Ke wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Zhiyuan again.

"No buts! Lin Ke, I believe in your judgment. Since you said she has a talent for acting, then she definitely has it! It's settled. Contact her right away and ask her to audition with the crew!" Li Zhiyuan said firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Lin Ke took a deep breath, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Who is this?" A clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of lazy sleepiness.

"Xinxin, it's me, Lin Ke."

"Lin Ke? Why did you think of calling me? What a rare guest!" Wang Xinxin's tone was full of surprise. Obviously, Lin Ke's call surprised her a little.

"What? Can't I call you if nothing happens?" Lin Ke joked with a smile.

"Of course not, it's just..." Wang Xinxin paused, as if organizing her words, "It's just that you are usually very busy and rarely contact me. I thought you had forgotten about me, your old friend."

"How could that be? I'm busy filming a movie recently. I'll definitely compensate you after I finish filming this movie." Lin Ke explained quickly. "You said it, don't forget it when the time comes." Wang Xinxin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?" Lin Ke said confidently, "By the way, Xinxin, I called you today because I actually have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's like this..." Lin Ke paused, and told Wang Xinxin in detail the difficulties Li Zhiyuan encountered and his idea of ​​asking Wang Xinxin to audition.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. Just when Lin Ke thought Wang Xinxin would refuse, Wang Xinxin's voice rang again.

"Really? Do you really think I can do it?" There was a hint of disbelief and surprise in Wang Xinxin's voice, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

"Of course, I believe in your ability." Lin Ke said firmly, "You forgot that you have loved performing since you were a child, and you often participated in the school's art performances and won awards every time. You have a talent for performing."

"But...but I haven't acted in a play for a long time, and I have only performed in some small dramas in school before. I have never been involved in professional filming of film and television dramas. I am worried that I can't do it well." Wang Xinxin said hesitantly.

"It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you can do it." Lin Ke encouraged, "Besides, Director Li is a very good director. He is very experienced and good at training actors. Don't worry, he will help you."

"Well... okay, I'll try it." Wang Xinxin finally made up her mind.

"Great! Xinxin, I knew you wouldn't let me down." Lin Ke's tone was full of excitement, "When are you free? I'll take you to see Director Li."

Wang Xinxin on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

"Lin Ke, can you let me prepare first? I need some time to adjust myself. After all, I haven't performed for a long time." Wang Xinxin's voice sounded a little nervous, but also full of anticipation.

"Of course, how long will it take you?" Lin Ke agreed without hesitation. He knew that for someone who had been away from the stage for a long time, it would take a lot of courage to stand up again. He was willing to give Wang Xinxin time to prepare.

"Well... give me a day. I'll go to the crew to find you tomorrow morning, okay?" Wang Xinxin asked tentatively.

"No problem, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning." Lin Ke agreed readily. He knew that the opportunity was rare and it was very rare for Wang Xinxin to muster up the courage to try. He would definitely do his best to help her.

"Thank you, Lin Ke, you are really my good friend." Wang Xinxin's voice was full of gratitude.

"Why thank me? We are friends, it's only natural." Lin Ke said with a smile, "Then you should prepare well, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He knew that Wang Xinxin was a girl with great acting talent, and as long as she was given a chance, she would definitely make a big splash.

Thinking of this, Lin Ke immediately called Li Zhiyuan.

"Hello, Director Li, it's me, Lin Ke."

"Xiao Lin, how is it going? Have you found the right actor?" Li Zhiyuan's tone on the other end of the phone was full of anticipation.
