292: The person struck by this incredible fortune... was actually a cook, leaving outsiders dumbfounded.

"Uncle Lin, our Director Xu has something he wants to talk to you about. Are you free now?"

In the 'know so well Film Crew' cafeteria, a pretty girl asked Lin Qiying, who was busy working.

"Director Xu? Isn't your film crew's director named Qi?"

Lin Qiying's expression was puzzled but also a bit excited when he heard this.

"Could it be that Director Qi wants me to be an extra again? I'd be so happy!"

The girl, however, smiled and said,

"Uncle Lin, this time it's not Director Qi looking for you. It's Our CEO Xu, Director Xu himself, the one who filmed kung fu!"

"What? Director Xu came to our film crew today? Why didn't anyone say anything earlier? I love the kung fu he filmed; it's so good! What does he want with me? He's a Great Director Xu..."

Hearing this, Lin Qiying immediately became so excited that he was incoherent.

Although he was the film crew's chef, he really loved acting. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited when he heard a director was looking for him.

Because every time a director looked for him, it meant he could play a Passerby A or an extra B, satisfying his acting itch.

However, what Lin Qiying didn't expect was that the boss of Da Xu Culture actually wanted to see him today. This made him feel a bit overwhelmed by the honor.

"Uncle Lin, don't get too excited yet, hurry up and go!"

The girl urged him.

Only then did Lin Qiying snap back to reality. He quickly washed his hands and followed her out of the kitchen.

Before long, he saw the long-awaited Great Director Xu and Producer Feng.

Then, Lin Qiying happily said,

"Director... Director Xu, I am Lin Qiying, a chef. It's truly an honor to meet you. I love the kung fu you filmed."

"Uncle Lin, I see everyone else calls you that, so I'll call you that too!"

Xu Lu smiled, motioned for the other party to sit down, and said.

Lin Qiying waved his hands repeatedly and laughed awkwardly:

"Oh, no, no, Director Xu can just call me Old Lin. 'Uncle Lin' is just what they call me casually."

"Alright then, Old Lin, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Xu Lu didn't decline and asked casually.

"I don't know, Director Xu. Have you not eaten yet? I'll go cook a few dishes for you?"

Lin Qiying guessed.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and interjected,

"Uncle Lin, our Director Xu called you over because he wants to give you a role, a role in his next film."

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Director Xu, thank you, Director Xu! I love acting, and I often watch those kids perform."

Lin Qiying's eyes immediately lit up, and he spoke much more fluently.

It was clear that this film crew's chef was someone who truly loved acting, which was why he became so talkative when the topic of acting came up.

It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he realized Director Xu and the other young man in front of him hadn't spoken.

Lin Qiying laughed awkwardly again and said,

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, I was just too excited. But don't worry, I can play any role."

"You said it yourself, you can play anything. Then I'll give you a more challenging role this time, no problem, right?" Xu Lu said with a smile.

Lin Qiying nodded repeatedly, saying, "No problem, no problem, no matter how difficult, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"That's good. I've already spoken with the 'know so well Film Crew' side. Go pack up, and then come with us directly to the 'Mr. Vampire' Film Crew."

Xu Lu spoke of his arrangements. Lin Qiying, who was already overjoyed, clearly had no objections.

Although he was doing quite well as a chef in the know so well Film Crew, if there was a chance to act, he would definitely choose acting.

Being a chef was a means of livelihood, while acting was a hobby. Under similar conditions, the choice was obvious, and there was no need to worry about making a living either.

Because when he worked as an extra in the know so well Film Crew under Da Xu Culture, he always got paid... Looking at Lin Qiying, who was scurrying off to pack his things, Feng Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then finally said,

"Our CEO Xu, why didn't you just tell him he's going to play the lead role? I think it's better to give him some psychological preparation."

Xu Lu, hearing this, smiled and said,

"I already told him it's a very challenging role, and he himself said there's no problem. As for whether it's the lead role or not, it's not that important, right? It's all acting anyway, who cares who you play?"

"As for whether it's the lead role or not, it's not that important, right? It's all acting anyway, who cares who you play?"

This... Faced with Great Director Xu's twisted logic, Feng Xiaoxia was speechless.

Actually, Xu Lu had his own reasons for hastily deciding to cast a non-professional in the lead role of 'mr. vampire'.

The first reason was quite personal: he found that Lin Qiying's appearance was eight or nine tenths similar to 'Uncle Ying' from his previous life on Earth.

Another reason, of course, was that Xu Lu had just used his 'Qiankun Qi Observation' skill and discovered that this chef named Lin Qiying actually had good fortune.

This, of course, was nonsense.

It would be strange if someone chosen by Our CEO Xu and about to become the protagonist of a film had bad luck.

But this was indeed the most important point that made Xu Lu decide so quickly that the other party would be the 'Uncle Ying substitute'.

Previously, during the auditions, Xu Lu had used the Qiankun Qi Observation function on the Actors multiple times.

Some of those Actors had very good fortune, but their appearances never quite satisfied Xu Lu.

Until today, when he accidentally discovered this chef at the know so well Film Crew.

The person possessed both the right appearance and good fortune, so the lead role of 'mr. vampire' finally had a candidate... In fact, when Lin Qiying followed them to the 'Mr. Vampire' Film Crew, he was indeed stunned by the immense wealth that had fallen from the sky.

After a long while, he kept shaking his head and said,

"I can't do it. Playing the lead... I'm a chef, how can I be the lead in a movie? Director Xu, did you make a mistake?"

Not only was Lin Qiying himself dumbfounded, but all the other film crew members, including Assistant Director Lao Zhou, were also stunned by the news.

Our CEO Xu had delayed for over half a month for a lead Actor, and in the end, he actually found a chef to play the lead.

This was too bizarre, wasn't it?

Fortunately, Xu Lu had already established absolute authority within Da Xu Culture. Even though everyone had some doubts, they had no objections to his decision.

Because past experiences and facts had repeatedly proven one thing: no matter how outrageous Our CEO Xu's decision seemed, just follow it.

Because in the end, facts would prove him right!

So, no matter how much Lin Qiying declined or how puzzled everyone was, the role of Uncle Jiu in 'mr. vampire' was already destined for him.

Of course, Da Xu Culture's people not opposing didn't mean others felt the same. At this moment, outsiders who learned the news instantly erupted.
