Chapter 616 You Must Have The Air Of A Celebrity To Be One
As StudiosAs Studios
There were four major drama academies in C Nation. There were still numerous smaller
academies, but these four were probably the most famous.
Two of these major academies were in B City while the other two were in other cities.
This time, Lin Che and Yu Minmin came to one of the major academies to take a look.
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Lin Che had studied here before. She had also graduated from this academy back then, so this
ce was very familiar to her. But thest time she came, Qin Wanwan hade with her for
training. Now, she had already opened her own studio and was here to choose trainees.
In actual fact, there was no such thing as trainees to speak of in the country at first. However, they
later learned a bit of the system. Their system was not as cruel as the system in Korea. They
merely brought the trainees back to thepany to sign a contract and started slowly training them.
Many people gathered around after finding out that Lin Che and Yu Minmin were here.
Although Lin Che’s studio was newly-opened and had no other celebrities apart from Lin Che,
everyone knew that Lin Che was a skilled actress. They also knew that Yu Minmin was capable
because she had caused Lin Che to emerge victorious in her struggle to leave thepany’s
control. Everyone was very confident in Yu Minmin’s management abilities, especially when she
was also the President’s wife.
In particr, Lin Che was now a huge celebrity too. Thus, they felt that they would have better
opportunities if a famous celebrity could promote them. It was better than the smallpanies that
usually came to scout them.
From the moment they stepped in, they saw many people crowding around them. Their vision was a
little blurred as a result.
Lin Che said, “They’re so enthusiastic.”
“Of course, there are too many questionable managementpanies around these days. They sign
people on first and then simply leave them be. Alternatively, they continue to sell the contracts to
otherpanies and the situation gets very messy. You’re the living billboard of our studio. They
know that you’re here to choose trainees and so they know first and foremost that ourpany is
credible. Of course, they rushed here.”
Lin Che looked at these people and did not see anyone particrly striking. She walked all the way
in and greeted the head of the academy first. When they shook hands, the head of the academy
said, “I’m not very familiar with signing contracts and debuting. You cane in and take a look.
This is our school.”
There were many students and the head of the academy also specifically pointed out a few elite
students who had already revealed their outstanding talent.
Lin Che said that she would take a look since the academy head was rmending them. The
academy head had already prepared for this and told a few students toe in.
The students had dressed up very well. Although they were still students, they were drama students
who had gone for some auditions and performances and learned how to groom themselves early
on. One after another, each of them looked pretty good.
It was obvious that they wanted to perform well in front of Lin Che and Yu Minmin. The bright sparks
in their eyes were pleasant to see.
Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che. Lin Che saw nothing special; she really did not think that any of them
were a good choice.
Lin Che asked, “What do you think?”
Yu Minmin said, “They’re alright.”
Lin Che then replied, “Then, why don’t we just go out and look around on our own?”
She stood up and said to the academy head, “We’ll bring your documents back and discuss
amongst ourselves before contacting you. We’ll go out and take a look on our own too and see if we
meet anyone suitable.”
“Oh, okay, okay. Take your time and walk around. These are the passes to some of our ssrooms.
Take them with you so that you can go anywhere you want.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
“No problem, no problem. We’ll cooperate with you so that we can improve together. Weren’t you
chosen by Miss Yu through this process in the past?”
“Haha, yes Sir.”
Lin Che was not an outstanding student in school back then. In fact, the academy head could not
have known her. However, there were so many people in school, so it was not the case that every
outstanding student would be famous in the end.
Lin Che and Yu Minmin walked on the path while reading the documents they had been given.
“I think all of them look fine but they won’t stand out easily and don’t look like celebrities.”
Lin Che asked, “So when you looked at me, did you feel that I had the air of a celebrity?”
“Of course. You’re the type of person who can catch people’s eyes instantly from afar. When I swept
my eyes over the students earlier, I felt that they were very ordinary. The aura of a celebrity is
something that you have to be born with. You can’t learn itter on. It’s something thates from
within and it definitely doesn’te about easily.”
“Really? I caught your eye from afar? I thought that you just casually signed me on.”
Yu Minmin said, “How can that be? I wasn’t just buying vegetables. How could I have signed you so
casually? From the start, you were very distinctive. With one look, I knew that you were different
from the rest. If you appeared on television, people would easily recognize you too. That’s why I
signed you on. But every single person who signs on to thepany must work hard on their own
apart from receiving training from thepany. You can only continue advancing your career if you
find good productions, get good roles, and expand your socialwork. You’re obviously terrible at
expanding your socialwork.”
“I hate you.”
“Rx. Every famous celebrity starts their career like you. You’re not an exception; everyone seems
to be like this.”
Lin Che thought to herself that this was true. Every main lead started out with so many mediocre
supporting roles before slowly making progress.
Lin Che and Yu Minmin continued walking. The people by the road were still looking at them. Many
of them wanted to approach them but did not dare to.
In the end, someone came up to them and greeted them first.
She said to Yu Minmin, “Sister Yu, Sister Che, nice to meet you.”
Yu Minmin smiled in response and said, “Nice to meet you. What’s your name?”
Then, they took down her contact details and she left with a satisfied smile.
Lin Che asked, “Is she alright?”
Yu Minmin said, “She has the guts to take the initiative. In the future, she might have the same
courage when she meets a director. She will save us so much money if she can find her own
opportunities. In this circle, you must be able to make discerning judgments.”
Thereafter, Lin Che saw a student listening to the professor with rapt attention and asked her for her
contact details as well. Her side profile was very beautiful and she did indeed have the air of a main
lead.
Of course, when it came to the boys, it was easier to market those young and fresh types. Still, it
would not be easy for them to be famous. They also saw some boys with very good acting
skills and some with very unique appearances. They also took down their contact details because
these boys could possibly go down the route of skilled actors or other routes.
After looking around for a day, the two of them were quite fruitful and went home.
Gu Jingze happened to be there when Lin Che arrived at home. He came out and said to Lin Che,
“Grandfather’s birthday banquet is in a few days. We have to go back to attend it.”
“Ah, right. I remember thatst year’s banquet was also around this time. Should I get him
something?”
“It’s alright. I’ve already instructed someone to buy a present. You can juste with me.”
Lin Che wanted to just agree with him. But Gu Xiande had always liked her and treated her
particrly well. Thus, she felt slightly apologetic about not giving him anything.
But since Gu Jingze had spoken, she did not think about giving him another gift. She merely
thought that it was best to give him something to express her sincerity and wondered what that
would be.
However, it was a pity that she had not had much contact with Gu Xiande. She really did not know
what he needed either.
