[R18] Idol estrus (NP) – Chapter 42 of “Idol in Heat (NP)” [English]

42. Stand-in

The day after Lin Qi left, Lin Tu went to Lingchu’s hospital.

It was not to visit the little ancestor who was recovering from illness, but to confirm with the attending doctor how long Ling Chu would need to recuperate before being discharged from the hospital this time.

The answer I got was indeed the worst possible outcome.

The attending doctor stressed to Lin Tu very responsibly that the patient needed to cooperate with the treatment for at least thirty days and then rest at home for two months.

Lin Tu counted on his fingers and found that she didn’t even have three months left.

She called Lu Xinyuan and received feedback that although the filming of the movie was mostly completed, there were still scenes that needed to be re-recorded.

In Ling Chu’s situation, it seemed like he had to take a break from acting for a while.

In addition to the inability to complete the filming of the final film, all previously negotiated programs and advertising endorsements will be shelved.

As the saying goes, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

Lin Tu smiled bitterly and sighed.

Sometimes I really want to ask God what she did wrong to end up in such a miserable situation.

“Hello, I am Lin Tu from ACE Company. I have something to trouble you with.”

After leaving the hospital, Lin Tu started making work calls without taking a moment’s rest.

Although Ling Chu cannot participate in variety shows or commercial recordings, Lu Xinyuan’s movie must end successfully.

She used the company’s name to contact several acting academies in the city, just to find a substitute who was at least 60-70% similar to Ling Chu.

Appearance, appearance, conversation, and the most indispensable character.

Lin Tu spent two days visiting nearly ten schools and met many good talents. Unfortunately, the person she could find who was closest to Ling Chu was only about 40% similar in appearance to him.

Two people with similar looks will have two completely different temperaments due to different living environments.

Lin Tu used the most basic lines from Lu Xinyuan’s movie to play with the boy once, and he realized that there was only one Ling Chu in the world.There is and only one.

She thanked her school acquaintances and walked out of the campus frustrated.

The city, which has entered early spring, begins to enjoy sunny and sunny weather more of the time.Although the surrounding trees are still sparse, the spring breeze blowing on the face still gives people a warm feeling, a tranquility that can soothe bad moods.

She went to a small restaurant near the school to have a casual meal, took out her mobile phone and looked through her mobile phone address book again.

A name suddenly made her fingers pause.

“Hello~ Long time no see, I’m Lin Tu, I have something to ask of you, hehehe.”

“Now I have all the extras who are somewhat capable.”

Li He, who received a call from Lin Tu, took Lin Tu to a small private hotel that had become a recruiting ground for extras.

On the door of every room in the slightly shabby hotel, there are dramas and actor requirements for actors to be recruited.

Lin Tu knew that there was such a place in City A, but this was his first time to visit such a place in person.

She patted Li He’s shoulder gratefully.

“Thank you for your kindness.”

“You are so polite. If you find someone suitable, just leave your business card. You don’t have to negotiate the salary on the spot. You can also open a room and arrange an audition.”

“Yeah”

Lin Tu swiped his card from the hotel front desk to apply for a room, and borrowed their printer to print out a recruitment letter.

Her heart was beating loudly, and there was a strange excitement and anxiety.

Twenty minutes later, a knock on the door came from outside.

“Please come in.”

“I heard you’re looking for a stand-in for a movie actor.”

A man with a clean beard leaned half in from the door. He had long hair and dreadlocks. His eyes looked very young.

Lin Tu nodded slightly cautiously.

There was no director, no stage manager, and no script in the room, there was only her.

“If you don’t mind, I want to see your strength first.”

The man twitched the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.

“Background, lines. Which direction is the main shot?”

Lin Tu handed the temporarily prepared things to he and waved, indicating that the location where she was was the main shooting point.

“Get ready, start.”

The man’s body relaxed and his eyes closed for just a second.

When he opened it again, Lin Tu’s heart tightened.

It feels like Ling Chu is Ling Chu

“My name is Lu Ning, I haven’t asked for advice yet.”

“Lin Tu.”

Lin Tu decisively took off the recruitment booklet outside the door, took out the business card from his bag and handed it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning’s brows frowned slightly.

“It’s not the director, it’s the agent.”

“Yes.”

Lin Tu sat down on the folding chair in the hotel uprightly, “Has Mr. Lu received professional performance training?”

“No.”

Lu Ning smiled and shook his head.

Most of the people gathered in this small hotel were men, women and children who had no acting training but had dreams of acting.

When he was young, his family was so poor that he couldn’t even afford to study. When he was thirteen years old, his parents died one after another. In order to make ends meet, he had to find ways to survive on the edge of the law.

In the past ten years, he has been to a juvenile correctional institution, worked as a prison guard, worked as a hotel security guard, and as a black market boxer.

By chance, I chose to be an extra because I met someone in the bureau.

Lin Tu had been listening carefully to Lu Ning’s narration without any hint of misery.

No wonder he has a chilling air about him that ordinary people don’t have. It’s a very stubborn, almost arrogant and ruthless kind.

“Due to the filming of the movie, Mr. Lu may need to rearrange your appearance. I wonder if you would mind.”

Lu Ning couldn’t help laughing.

“Ms. Lin has just started working in the industry.”

“Ah yes, less than a year.”

“As long as you add more money, everything will be easy.”

When he said this with a smile, Lin Tu seemed to see himself ten months ago.

Lin Tu helped Lu Ning find a barber shop.

The beard on his face was trimmed, his braids were untied, and what was revealed in front of the mirror again was an unusually handsome young man.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Lu Ning couldn’t help but fall asleep on the chair in the barber shop during the lengthy hairdressing process.

Lin Tu learned from Li He that before taking the job of she, Lu Ning had just finished filming another TV series.

As a minor supporting character who doesn’t appear for more than one episode and easily dies at the hands of the male protagonist.

He tanned his skin deeply in order to better fit the character.

During the three months of preparation for the TV series, he even taught himself a lot of Greek, striving to express the semi-white speaking tone of a Chinese-Greek mixed race.

He’s long hair was also braided at that time, which was derived from the style on ancient Greek murals.

Lin Tu likes this kind of person who is so dedicated even if it is just an insignificant role.

Ling Chu has talent and capital, but he has no faith.

Lin Tu secretly took a picture of Lu Ning’s sleeping face and sent it to Lu Xinyuan.

Lu Xinyuan: This is

Lin Tu: I helped Ling Chu find a substitute.

Lu Xinyuan: I’m waiting for you on the set

Lin Tu: Holding fists

Lin Tu left a phone number for Lu Ning and handed Lu Ning, who passed the crew interview, to Lu Xinyuan.

Remuneration has been negotiated and will be settled in cash at the end of all filming.

Lin Tu did not apply for this expenditure from the company, but used his bank card to swipe the money.

What she needs from ACE Company is not just the salary of a stand-in for a group performance, but an opportunity for Lu Ning.

“Maomao, these days you stay with Lu Ning and practice the work of an agent independently.”

“Wow, I got a promotion. I got a promotion.”

Wang Maomao put down his lunch box and applauded himself happily, then asked Lin Tu in a low voice as if he was worried.

“It can’t be more difficult than the one lying in the hospital, right?”

Lin Tu couldn’t help laughing.

“Lu Ning is a nice person. You can learn a lot by following him.”

“Emmmm”

Wang Maomao was skeptical, but since Sister Tutu had spoken, she still chose to believe her.

Lu Ning applied for three days to read through the script, and Lin Tu left the crew and went to the room where he was staying to say hello.

“If you have any financial difficulties, you can call me. If you have any work issues, please contact Maomao. If she can’t handle it, I’ll do it.”

Lu Ning suddenly curled his lips and smiled, full of lust and a bit of mockery.

“Miss Agent.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you know what your words mean?”

“Yeah”

“If you don’t want anything from me, then you are planning to infiltrate me.”

「」

Lin Tu crossed his arms and looked back without giving in.

“Then you must be qualified.”

At three o’clock tomorrow afternoon, bring your passport and daily necessities, and I will pick you up.

After a busy day, Lin Tu suddenly received a text message from Yu Si. Only then did he realize that she had just promised him not long ago to accompany him to a “Hongmen Banquet”.

Do I need to bring my passport to go abroad?

Lin Tu asked confusedly about his doubts.

Yu Siren was lying on the bed, turning over excitedly because of her reply.

Going to sea.It’s safer to bring your passport.It’s so late and I still haven’t slept yet

Lin Tu simply ignored the last greeting, which was somewhat inappropriate, and continued to ask questions.

Okay, are there any other dress code requirements?

Yu Si felt aggrievedly that Lin Tu was wary of him.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s a long way to go.

No, just dress normally.

It sounds very unreliable.

Lin Tu sighed, put away his cell phone and opened the neatly packed wardrobe in the staff dormitory.

There are always two sets of well-maintained formal suits stored inside, just for such occasions.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Yu Si appeared on time downstairs in Lin Tu’s temporary apartment.

Lin Tu wrapped himself tightly, took only a gift bag with him, and then went downstairs.

Yu Siren’s eyes were slightly surprised when he saw her.

Lin Tu couldn’t help but look down at his own outfit, “Isn’t it weird?”

“No. Very good.”

Yu Si opened the passenger door in a gentlemanly manner and motioned for Lin Tu to get in the car.

In the back seat, the dresses he had specially prepared for Lin Tu looked like they had outlived their purpose.

He originally thought that she would not take his invitation too seriously.

Unexpectedly, she not only carefully prepared the clothes and makeup, but also didn’t look rushed at all.

I really chose to accompany him to this banquet from the standpoint of being a female companion commensurate with his status.

Yu Si felt that the tattoo for her on his wrist was burning fiercely.

The desire is too strong, I am happy and excited, I can’t stop wanting to catch her and get close to her.

Don’t be reckless, don’t be anxious.

Yu Siren held his heart, which was beating more and more violently, in his chest and tried to calm down his emotions.

“It may take a few days, but it won’t delay your work.”

Lin Tu fastened his seat belt and wanted to put the things in his hands on the back seat. Naturally, he caught a glimpse of a complete set of women’s clothing neatly stacked in the back.

“No. It happens to be on vacation. You even prepared clothes for me. Thank you.”

The smile on Yu Si’s lips never fell, and his completely combed back hair rarely revealed his resolute forehead and unusually deep eyebrows.

“This is what I should do. It would be better if you would put it on.”

Lin Tu smiled and did not reply.

Yu Siren stepped on the accelerator and hit the road. Fang Suo’s car was parked next to the port three hours ahead of others.
