Chapter 36: Cameo Appearance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Yishan held a cup of yogurt she got from her new roommate. She was an extraordinarily cute girl who had a tiny braid on both sides of her head. She was exactly what Xia Yishan imagined an 18-year-old would look like.

“I’m Shu Xiaoman, majoring in Chinese Broadcasting. They’re Ye Yiyi and Qiu Ling. You’re so pretty. What’s your name?”

“I’m Xia Yishan, majoring in Drama and Performance.”

“What a coincidence,” the tall and beautiful Ye Yiyi said in surprise, “I’m majoring in Drama and Performance too, just like you.”

The shorter girl with glasses pushed up the black-framed glasses on her nose, “I’m majoring in Directing. The name’s Qiu Ling.’

Xia Yishan’s eyes lit up when she heard that name. She had heard in her previous life that Qiu Ling was a black horse in the directing industry. Never had she thought that they would become roommates. When she became famous in the future, people would find out that she had an unimaginable family background.

“So we have a host, an actress, and a director?”

“Haha!”

“We can make a film ourselves.”

The new intake students were usually more noticeable.

As the class gathered, the university lecturers who hardly show would present themselves one after another.

Xia Yishan was just too pretty among the newcomers. Very soon, she was named the class beauty, and then leveled-up to the school beauty.

Although she was only 18, she was 23 at heart. Since she was reborn before, she had the maturity of someone closer to 30. To her, all the students at the academy were kids.

While she was secretly being called the school beauty, many people praised her and many mocked her. Whatever the case, all those things were childish to her.

Her mindset gave her a reputation for arrogance in the academy.

The university did not have many classes. She was studying diligently, but she was lacking in performing experience.

On Friday night, she received a message on her WeChat.

Liang Qiaoen: “Yishan, Yishan, there’s an on-going movie in need of an actress last-minute. I got you the gig. I’ll pick you up at 6 a.m. tomorrow. Send me your school’s coordinates.”

Xia Yishan: “Sure.”

Xia Yishan: “You’ve sent a location – Beijing Western Film Academy”

Liang Qiaoen: “Seize the opportunity. It’s an inspirational movie about youth. However, your scene is only a minute. Although you’ll only have one minute, the male and female leads are very famous. The box office would be great. It’s perfect for your first role.”

Xia Yishan: “Thanks…”

Xia Yishan checked out a couple of movies that were of similar subject matter and did her research in advance.

On Saturday morning, she got into the hired car Liang Qiaoen had arranged. The shooting location was in the suburbs, so the journey was rather long.

She would only be making a cameo appearance, so she would have to do her own makeup. Liang Qiaoen applied for and got the company’s makeup artist, Aimi, to go along.

Along the way, Liang Qiaoen carefully explained to Xia Yishan, “Yishan, you’ll be playing the second male lead’s first girlfriend. You’re his goddess.

“The second male lead sees your shadow in the female lead. As he gets closer and closer to the female lead, he is being attracted, but eventually, he has to give up on her.

“You’ll only have one scene, which is to hold the male lead’s hand and run happily. You’re showing the audience the feeling of being young, romantic, and innocent…

“Jiang Chenchen was initially chosen for this character. Since she left, the company had to replace her. As it is, you’re pretty lucky. This character’s screen time is just too short. A-listers would have a rather full schedule, so they don’t care about this role. I put a lot of effort into getting it for you. You can experience the atmosphere on the set yourself.”

Xia Yishan would give a short response every now and then to express that she understood. She even buttered her up.. “You’ve worked hard, Old Liang!”
