Entertainment: This is a super top star from Earth.

Chapter 26 Ungrateful

"What? You want me to audition for a TV series?"

That evening, Zhang Zeyan was practicing the musical instruments of this world in the music room when he received a call from Zheng Xinyao.

To his surprise, Zheng Xinyao actually asked him to audition for a role as the second male lead in a TV series.

According to Zheng Xinyao, that TV series was an A+ level series with the potential to become a hit.

In this world, films and television dramas are divided into D-level and D+-level, C-level and C+-level, B-level and B+-level, A-level and A+-level, S-level and S+-level, and so on.

Category D refers to low-budget films and television dramas, in which you can hardly find any stars.

Films rated C to B are considered medium-budget productions, featuring some second- or third-tier celebrities.

Category A refers to high-budget films and television dramas, which must have at least one A-list star in their cast.

An A+ level drama requires the participation of a major interstellar star, and Zheng Xinyao is such a star, so the drama she starred in is an A+ level drama.

As for S-level and above, these belong to super movies and TV shows, where the male and female leads must be interstellar superstars.

As for S+, the male and female leads, as well as several major supporting characters, all have to be interstellar superstars.

"Zheng Xinyao, thank you for the invitation, but I think I'll pass."

Over the phone, Zhang Zeyan still declined Zheng Xinyao's invitation.

"Zhang Zeyan, didn't you study acting at Nandu Film and Television Academy to make movies and TV dramas? You gave up such a good opportunity without even trying it?" Zheng Xinyao said with a tone of disappointment.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want to owe you a favor," Zhang Zeyan said honestly.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of Zheng Xinyao's feelings for him.

If he agrees to Zheng Xinyao's request, he will owe her a favor, and he will find it difficult to refuse any unreasonable demands she makes.

"Zhang Zeyan, do you still consider me a friend? I just casually said a few words for you when I saw an opportunity. It's not even certain that you'll pass the audition."

"And what do you mean by saying you don't want to owe me a favor? Does owing me a favor make you feel ashamed? Are you even a man?" Zheng Xinyao's tone was somewhat sharp, and she sounded very angry.

"Sorry, that reverse psychology won't work on me. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

"Hang up, anyone who helps you from now on is a bastard."

Zhang Zeyan hadn't died yet, but Zheng Xinyao had already died.

……

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! That scoundrel Zhang Zeyan, he's heartless and ungrateful, he doesn't appreciate kindness..."

Inside the hotel room rented by the film crew, Zheng Xinyao's small chest heaved with anger.

Just then, the door to the room was opened from the outside, and a beautiful woman in her forties walked in. It was Zheng Xinyao's mother.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing? Who made you angry?" Zheng Xinyao's mother asked with concern.

"Nobody made me angry, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Zheng Xinyao shook her head, then opened the door and went out.

On the hotel's rooftop, Zheng Xinyao gazed at the stars for a while, and her anger finally subsided.

After thinking for a moment, she called Ye Mengxi, who was far away in space.

Interstellar communication, if done through normal channels, would take several days to contact other people, so it's usually just used for sending messages.

However, there is also the fastest way to communicate, which is wormhole signal transmission, which can achieve real-time information transmission with a delay of only a few seconds.

However, the technology for transmitting signals through wormholes is not yet mature, so the price is very high. It costs more than 200 yuan per second to make a call, and tens of thousands of yuan per minute, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

However, this amount of money is nothing to Zheng Xinyao.

The call was answered a minute after it was dialed.

"Xi Xi, have you joined the film crew yet?" Zheng Xinyao asked Ye Mengxi after the call connected.

"I just arrived at Sirius and haven't joined the crew yet. What's up?" Ye Mengxi's voice came through the phone.

"It's nothing, just asking. By the way, I've joined a production team too. My mom got me a role in a show called 'Legend of Jiang Yue,' a female-centric drama. The script is pretty good..."

"Oh? That's great, it's sure to be a hit..."

"Sister Xixi, let me tell you, you have no idea how infuriating I was just now...blah blah blah... I kindly introduced Zhang Zeyan to a role...blah blah blah... Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also said he didn't want to owe me a favor...blah blah blah..."

On the phone, Zheng Xinyao started complaining to Ye Mengxi, saying that Zhang Zeyan was extremely annoying.

After listening to Zheng Xinyao's complaints, Ye Mengxi said to her, "It's okay, I'll call Zhang Zeyan and talk to him. I'll try to persuade him for you."

"I called her but she wouldn't answer. You've only met her once, Xi Xi, do you think she'll listen to you?" Zheng Xinyao was somewhat skeptical.

"I'm older and have more experience. I know how to talk to young people like you. Just watch me. I guarantee I'll persuade Zhang Zeyan to audition for your show..."

"Alright then, give it a try."

"Okay, I'll call him then. I'll get back to you when it's successful."

The two hung up the phone quickly.

Half an hour later, Ye Mengxi called again.

"Yaoyao, I've convinced Zhang Zeyan. He's agreed to audition for your show. Contact him later and tell him the address and audition time," Ye Mengxi said to Zheng Xinyao.

"Zhang Zeyan really agreed? Sister Xixi, how did you persuade him? Can you teach me?"

When Zheng Xinyao heard that Ye Mengxi had actually managed to persuade Zhang Zeyan, she immediately thought it was amazing and she really wanted to learn from her.

However, upon hearing Zheng Xinyao's question, Ye Mengxi simply said, "It's hard to explain in a short time. In short, just know that I've convinced him and he's agreed to audition at your place."

"All right!"

"Alright, you call him. We'll hang up now; these interstellar calls are just too expensive..."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xinyao was about to call Zhang Zeyan, but Zhang Zeyan called first.

As soon as the call connected, before Zheng Xinyao could even speak, Zhang Zeyan's voice came through.

"Zheng Xinyao, thank you for recommending me for the audition opportunity. Sister Xi just scolded me, saying I was ungrateful and shouldn't have spoken to you like that. I've deeply realized my mistake, I'm so sorry! Also, to thank you, how about I treat you to a big meal?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Zheng Xinyao's lips immediately curled up.

However, she pretended to be still angry and said, "Forget about treating me to a big meal. I'm only doing this because of Sister Xixi. Otherwise, even if you apologize to me now, I won't talk to you, hmph!"

"I know, thank you for your understanding. I have realized my mistake. Where are you filming now? When can I audition?" Zhang Zeyan asked directly at the end.

"Come to Tianzhu Peak Scenic Area tomorrow, our film crew will be here..."
