Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star 40 Chapter 40. Zhu Yi

Chapter 40. Zhu Yi

"A writer! Were you working with Writer Hong on this project?"

Li Xinru asked as soon as Zhu Yi introduced herself.

"No, no, actually, I was not a member of the staff, I just came here as Writer Hong invited me."

Zhu Yi said while fidgeting her fingers. She was still looking nervous. She didn't even took a seat was talking while standing.

"So, you are a guest of Writer Hong?"

Zhu Yi looked towards Ren when he asked that question.

"Yeah, I, I am. He was my senior in college."

'Why is she avoiding my eyes?'

Ren thought as he saw Zhu Yi averting her eyes from him. She was talking while trying not to make eye contact with him.

Ren was wondering why she was doing that when a thought suddenly appeared in his head.

'…..Is it because of my role in «Secret spy»?'

That was the only reason Ren could think of. Because of his role as a crazy villain, many people still have some fear of him.

Although it was only a role, for the people who will see him first time on the screen, they will surely a.s.sociates his character with his real personality.

Ren could not do anything about what the people think of him. To make his image positive, he can only do one positive roles or go on some reality shows.

"Oh, so you were Writer Hong junior in college."

"Yes, I was and I quite liked your role in the movie. You were great in it."

"Really?"

As Ren was thinking about his image, Zhu Yi and Li Xinru started talking intimately.

From the time he had spent with her, Ren knew that Li Xinru is a amiable and sociable person. She can make friends instantly and she is also flattered easily.

Overall, she was a cheerful person. Someone who can easily get along with anyone.

Because of sociable nature, Zhu Yi also dropped her nervous att.i.tude somewhat and started talking with her freely.

As they were talking, Ren was calmly staring at Zhu Yi. He felt that he knew her and that feeling was getting stronger.

He do not involved himself in the conversation and kept glancing at Zhu Yi.

He kept thinking in his brain where how he knew her but he can't remember anything.

The reason he felt that he knew her must mean that she was someone famous in the future.

After regressing, Ren had trouble remembering everything that had happened. He did not have any photogenic memory, he can only remember bits of information.

He didn't knew every single thing.

'She introduced herself as a writer, so Is she a famous writer in the future.'

As Ren kept thinking about it, he noticed that Zhu Yi expression has again become anxious.

"Um, Actually, I wanted to ask you something."

"Ah, what is it?"

Li Xinru t.i.tled her head when she heard that as she glanced at Zhu Yi.

"Actually, I wrote a script and I wanted you to read it."

Zhu Yi said as she took out a synopsis from her bag. Her hands were shaking as she held the synopsis.

'So, she wanted to cast Li Xinru in it.'

Ren thought as he glanced at the synopsis. He finally understood the reason Zhu Yi approached them.

It was because she wanted Li Xinru to read her synopsis.

'She must be very desperate about it.'

Ren thought like that because Zhu Yi had shown the synopsis to her in a celebration party.

Normally, writers would first show their scripts to production houses and let them take care of it.

Then, the production companies would look for actors to play roles. It was a hard and slow process.

That's why stories take time to adapt into movies and dramas. A story can take 3-4 years before it could be shown on screen.

It was a tedious and long process but it was only for the writers who were new and still had to prove themselves.

Production companies and sometimes even actors approached famous writers for their scripts.

"A script! What kind of script is it?"

Li Xinru didn't rejected the script at first glance as she took a hold of it. That made Zhu Yi face brighten a little.

"Um, it's a love comedy with some bits of action."

Zhu Yi said nervously as she gave only a brief introduction. Normally, when writers show actors their scripts, they would talk excitedly about their stories and state the good points in them.

Ren didn't knew If it was because of nervousness but Zhu Yi didn't do that and kept glancing at Li Xinru who was reading her synopsis.

Watching this, Ren maintained his silence and just look at Li Xinru. He was trying to know how the script was based on her expression but her expression was clearly stating that she was uninterested in it.

Because of that, the anxiousness on Zhu Yi face was also growing. She kept moving her fingers nervously as she stared at Li Xinru.

"Xinru, there are you. You didn't drink too much, right."

As Li Xinru was reading the synopsis, Su Ling approached the table.

"Ah, Sister Ling, you are here."

"Yeah, let's go. Tomorrow is a early schedule, you will be sleepy if you didn't slept early. Wait! Is that a script in your hand?"

Su Ling said as she pointed at the script in her hand.

"Yeah, it's a script written by Writer Zhu, here."

Li Xinru said as he introduced Zhu Yi to Su Ling and Zhu Yi am also stood up and greeted her.

"h.e.l.lo, my name is Zhu Yi, I worked as a writer."

"A writer! Sorry, I haven't heard your name…"

"Don't worry, I an new writer. Currently, I am working on my first project."

Su Ling expression became slightly unsightly when she heard that but she hided it quickly.

"Xinru, let's go quickly. There is a shooting in the morning."

"Ah, sure."

Su Ling stopped talking to Zhu Yi and told Li Xinru to hurry up.

Li Xinru also didn't wait long and returned the script to Zhu Yi hurriedly. It was a way of escaping as she truly didn't liked the script.

"Writer Zhu, it was nice to read your script. Now, I have to go."

"Ah, but, can't you stay for….a bit?"

"Sorry, Writer Zhu, we have to leave now. You can send the script to our company, we will contact you if we liked it. Oh, Ren, sorry we have to leave early. Let's meet next time."

"Yeah, Ren bye. I will meet you again."

This way both Li Xinru and Su Ling quickly left the restaurant and Zhu Yi slumped back in her seat when she saw them leave.

She was looking like she was on the verge of crying as she muttered to herself 'I knew it will not work'.

As she was wailing in grief, Ren slowly said to her.

"Um, can I read that synopsis?"

"Hah? You want to read it?"

Ren slowly nodded his head as he glanced at the script in her hands. He still didn't knew how he knew her but he still decided to read the synopsis.

"Sure, here it is. It's called «The stars above»."

Ren nearly have a mental breakdown when he heard that name and his eyes widened as he stared at Zhu Yi.

'I might have hit the jackpot.'
