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

Chapter 654: The attitude changes so quickly
Wang Xinxin saw that the security guard's attitude changed so quickly, so she didn't know what to say. She just smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. It's your duty."

"Yes, yes, it's my duty, it's my duty." The security guard nodded repeatedly, but secretly groaned in his heart. This young lady looked very young, but her demeanor was extraordinary. No one knew where she came from, but she could even make Lin Ke come to pick her up in person.

Seeing that the security guard recognized him, Lin Ke's tone softened a bit: "Her name is Wang Xinxin, she is a new actor in the crew. When she comes to film in the future, you can just let her in."

"New actor? Wang Xinxin?" The security guard was stunned for a moment and tried hard to search for the name in his mind, but he had no impression of it.

He secretly looked at Wang Xinxin and saw that she was dressed simply and low-key, but her temperament was fresh and refined. She was completely different from those female stars with heavy makeup, and he became even more confused.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure she is a new actor? Why haven't I heard of her?" the security guard asked cautiously.

"What? You don't believe what I say?" Lin Ke raised his eyebrows, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"No, no, I don't dare. Of course I believe what Mr. Lin says, but..." The security guard hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's just that the cast of this play has been decided long ago, and they are all famous actors in the circle. Miss Wang..."

"What? You don't think she can act?" Lin Ke interrupted the security guard with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..." The security guard was sweating profusely, but he didn't know how to explain.

"Okay, stop explaining. I know what you mean." Lin Ke patted the security guard's shoulder, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Xinxin is indeed a new actress, but she is very talented. I believe she can perform well."

"Yes, yes, you are right Mr. Lin, I am short-sighted. Miss Wang is obviously a beauty and will surely act well." The security guard agreed quickly but secretly complained in his heart, thinking, in this day and age, can one act just by being beautiful?

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go in first." Lin Ke said, and took Wang Xinxin to the set.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, take care. Take care!" The security guard bowed and nodded as he saw Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin off, then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he had not offended Wang Xinxin just now. Otherwise, with Lin Ke's status in the entertainment industry, it would only take a matter of a word for him to ban a small security guard like him.

Thinking of this, he quickly caught up with Wang Xinxin and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Wang, I'm so sorry, I just didn't recognize you. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"

Seeing the security guard apologize so sincerely, Wang Xinxin didn't know what to say, so she just smiled faintly: "It's okay, I've forgotten it."

"Thank you, thank you Miss Wang!" The security guard said with tears of gratitude, but secretly vowed in his heart that he must keep his eyes open in the future and never offend anyone again.

Wang Xinxin followed Lin Ke into the set and felt her eyes brighten.

Various lighting equipment were arranged in an orderly manner, staff were busy shuttling back and forth, and a tense yet energetic atmosphere was overwhelming.

"Wow, is this where they film? So professional!" Wang Xinxin couldn't help but exclaim, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Lin Ke smiled and ruffled her hair: "First time here?"

"Yeah!" Wang Xinxin nodded vigorously and looked around like a curious baby.

"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal game and relax." Lin Ke comforted her softly and led her towards the director.

Director Li was sitting in front of the monitor, brows furrowed, as if thinking about something.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Wang Xinxin behind Lin Ke, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Director Li, let me introduce you. This is Wang Xinxin, who I mentioned to you before. She's here to replace Jiaxin's role." Lin Ke said with a smile.

Director Li looked Wang Xinxin up and down and nodded politely: "Hello, I'm the director of this play, you can call me Director Li."

"Hello, Director Li!" Wang Xinxin quickly bowed and greeted him, with a hint of nervousness on her face.

Director Li looked at the young girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although Lin Ke had assured him before that Wang Xinxin had great acting talent, he was still a little worried. After all, Wang Xinxin had no acting experience, and this play was a big production, which placed high demands on the actors.

"Xinxin, this is Director Li, one of the most famous directors in the country. You are very fortunate to receive his guidance." Lin Ke introduced with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"I know, I know, I like watching all of Director Li's movies!" Wang Xinxin said quickly, with admiration shining in her eyes.

Director Li smiled and said nothing, but he felt even more uncertain.

This girl seems quite clever, but acting is no joke. Passion alone is not enough; it also requires talent and hard work.

"Lin Ke, it's not that I don't believe in your vision, but this is a big production after all, and the requirements for the actors are very high. How about this, let Xinxin try a scene first, and I want to see how good she is?" Director Li pondered for a moment and put forward his own idea.

Lin Ke naturally understood Director Li's concerns. He turned to look at Wang Xinxin and asked softly, "Xinxin, are you ready?"

Wang Xinxin took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I'm ready!"

"Okay, then just go for it. Don't be nervous. I believe in you!" Lin Ke encouraged, his eyes full of trust.

Director Li saw this and said nothing more. He picked up the script, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Wang Xinxin: "Let's go to this part. Familiarize yourself with the lines and emotions first. We'll start in thirty minutes."

Wang Xinxin took the script and read it carefully.

"Director Li, let Xinxin and I rehearse this scene so she can get into the mood faster." Lin Ke took the script and suggested.

Director Li nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

Lin Ke took Wang Xinxin to the corner of the set, found two chairs to sit down, and began to study the script with her.

"This scene is about a quarrel between the hero and heroine due to a misunderstanding. Your emotions should go from grievance in the beginning, to anger later, and to heartbreak at the end. The levels should be clear. Do you understand?" Lin Ke pointed at the script and patiently explained to Wang Xinxin.

As Wang Xinxin listened, she nervously grasped the script, her palms full of sweat.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" Lin Ke noticed her uneasiness and asked softly.

"Hmm..." Wang Xinxin bit her lip and nodded, "I'm afraid I won't perform well and will hinder you."
