Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Chapter 104 Encounter 1

Huang Min subconsciously turned his head.

Then he saw an ordinary-looking face with single eyelids, a round face with a bit of baby fat, and looked to be about the same age as Huang Min's sister, Huang Yun.

But it seems that something happened to this girl.

She kept wiping away tears without making a sound, and her round eyes were staring out the window, but her gaze was unfocused. Huang Min turned his head away and ignored her.

Many people in this society encounter all sorts of difficulties, and he was the same when he first arrived. Besides, maybe this girl just had a breakup.

Just then, a document that the girl had been holding fell at Huang Min's feet. Huang Min reached out and picked it up, and was about to return it to her when she reached out her hand.

But what I saw were several sheets of paper that turned out to be an evaluation report for an artist.

moment.

Huang Min became interested.

He ignored the girl's outstretched hand and started flipping through the pages. Unexpectedly, it was still the evaluation report of Zhongteng Pictures. Seeing that Huang Min, who was wearing a mask, did not return the report to him, and just as tears were sliding down his face again, the girl withdrew her hand and wiped them away, seemingly tacitly approving Huang Min's reading.

Huang Min looked at it seriously.

Name: Kim Ji-mi.

Age: 22.

Gender... Huang Min skipped over it, it was obvious. Next came weight and date of birth, and Huang Min went straight to the report content.

Acting skills: A.

They possess strong emotional outbursts, excellent empathy, and a distinctive personal style.

With an A+ level of dialogue delivery, the speaker has standard pronunciation, natural tone, and delivers lines that fit the character perfectly. The voice is highly recognizable, neither shrill nor muffled, and possesses a strong ability to move the audience.

Huang Min was somewhat surprised; this assessment was quite good!

I never expected that this girl, who looks so ordinary, would have such a talent for acting. Huang Min knows how objective the mentors at entertainment companies are. So why is this girl crying...? Her potential is too strong, she's crying tears of joy!?

You don't have to be unable to resist on the bus!

Huang Min suppressed his doubts and continued watching. The camera work was rated S-level. He was able to convey complex emotions in close-up shots. He was very relaxed, not tense or pretentious, and had a good eye acting ability.

Image assessment: B. Lack of three-dimensionality, large face shape, does not conform to the current popular delicate beauty.

Finally, the overall score was given. Appearance scored 30 points, while the other aspects all exceeded 75 points. Huang Min then turned to another page, which was the potential assessment. Seeing that the appearance was too poor and there was no potential, he recommended terminating the contract.

Below are the signatures of several training instructors from Zhongteng Pictures, as well as the signatures of two senior executives.

Huang Min instantly understood why the girl was crying. It turned out that she had been abandoned. That was quite tragic. She was abandoned by the company before she even reached the audition stage. The reason was very straightforward... she wasn't good-looking.

Seeing a hand extended in front of him, Huang Min handed over the assessment report.

Huang Min understood Zhongteng Pictures' approach. The entertainment market now favors those with delicate faces; even if they aren't delicate, they at least have to be pretty. This girl's appearance was indeed rather ordinary.

Instead of continuing to pour resources into her debut, it would be better to eliminate her as soon as possible. This way, Zhongteng Pictures wouldn't waste its resources, and the girl could quickly change careers.

The bus turned and drove forward at a slow speed. After a while, an announcement came over the bus: "Next stop: Ningcheng Supermarket. Passengers who need to get off, please prepare in advance."

Huang Min sat quietly. When he saw an elderly person approaching, he hesitated for a moment, then stood up and gave his seat to the elderly person. He stood next to the girl.

Shortly after boarding the bus, the girl started crying, and she kept wiping away tears even after the bus had gone seven or eight stops. It's true what they say about women being made of water.

Huang Min reached out and pinched the mask on his face. The air conditioning was on in the bus, but it was still a bit stuffy with so many people. Huang Min held onto the handrail and looked at the girl standing next to him. The girl wasn't short, about 1.7 meters tall. If she were a little prettier, judging from that evaluation report, she should have the potential to become famous.

Huang Min guessed that the market has changed too much, and Zhongteng Pictures' revenue has been declining year by year. They no longer want to add any more burden to the company. Otherwise, they could have taken the girl to get plastic surgery.

Perhaps because she had cried too much, the girl's single eyelids gradually swelled up, becoming quite noticeable like two puffy eyes. It was precisely these two puffy eyes that made Huang Min pause for a moment, and then... he took another look at the girl's appearance.

The bus slowly came to a stop. The girl wiped away her tears again, took the assessment report, turned around and got off the bus. Huang Min hesitated for a moment, then followed her off the bus.

As soon as Huang Min got off the bus, he felt the heat. The whole city had entered the Great Heat period in the past few days. The sound of cicadas could be heard in the trees on the street. Compared with before, it was now sparse. It was as if these cicadas knew that their season was about to leave and began to become listless.

The girl walked forward, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand every now and then.

After walking several dozen meters, the girl paused, seemingly realizing that someone was following her. When she lifted her foot again, she immediately quickened her pace.

Kim Ji-mi

Huang Min shouted, "It's daytime now, and there are so many people around, you don't need to worry."

Hearing what the person behind her said, Kim Ji-mi looked around and saw that there were people coming and going. Realizing that there was no need to worry too much, she stopped and turned to look at Hwang Min.

Perhaps her sadness hadn't subsided, because she wiped away another tear.

As he walked up to Kim Ji-mi, Hwang Min removed his mask and asked, "Does this look familiar?" Kim Ji-mi paused, then immediately nodded. Hwang Min continued, "You directed 'The Terror Live'."

The more Hwang Min looks at Kim Ji-mi, the more he thinks she's like a witch.

Those big, puffy eyes... they're so recognizable.

She looked like she hadn't woken up properly from crying. Seeing that Kim Ji-mi didn't speak, Huang Min directly said, "Weren't you eliminated by Zhongteng Pictures? If you still want to act..."

As he spoke, Huang Min took out his phone, found Su Qing's number, and said to Jin Zhimei, "Write this number down. Think about it when you get back. If you still want to act and be an actress, then call this number. Dongsheng Film Studio is willing to sign you. If you're not comfortable with it, have your family go to Dongsheng Film Studio with you before making a decision. After you've made your decision, we'll talk about the next step."

After Kim Ji-mi hesitated for a moment, she still wrote down the number he gave her. Huang Min smiled and waved to her: "Let's go, don't cry. Also... it's not that you're not good-looking, it's just that your hairstyle is wrong, and your clothes are a bit outdated. Once you sign with Dong Sheng Films, I'll find a stylist to do your styling."
