Global Film Emperor

Chapter 5 course completed.
"The third phase of the simulation has been completed, with a score of 92, which is excellent. The course has ended."

Lu Ze opened his eyes groggily, then rolled out of bed. As he put on his shoes, he rubbed his lower back, then suddenly froze.
"Hey? Your back doesn't hurt anymore? Did I wake up and finish my classes?"

Lu Ze thought for a while before remembering that the class was over. Then he jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and stretched his muscles and bones.

The vitality of his youth returned to Lu Ze, and the feeling was simply wonderful. It was exhilarating to feel young again!

The simulation, which took a total of one year, one month, and twelve hours, was a three-stage process. Lu Ze actually felt that his year-long retirement was quite good.

During the second phase, Lu Ze found it very difficult to adapt to this life and felt extremely lonely. He then spent all his time at home reading novels, but in the end, the system's score was still failing, and he was whipped twenty times.

By the time he reached the third stage, which was a year of living there, Lu Ze had finally found himself in his old age. Like other elderly people, he would go to the mall to buy discounted items and fight tooth and nail.

He became a chess master by playing chess in the park.

He's unbeatable at table tennis in the community's senior activity room, and he's also learned to play the piano. Every day, he plays with his old friends as the sun sets and the clouds drift by, and soldiers return to camp after target practice.

In the evenings, he would happily go downstairs to dance in the square, becoming the square dance king in his community and a leader among the elderly people in the community.

Oh, and the most important thing is that he met a woman he'd been dating, a 62-year-old woman named Cai. They'd both met each other's children and were about to start a twilight romance when the course suddenly ended.
"Damn it, my wife is gone."

Thinking of his Aunt Cai, Lu Ze suddenly felt downcast. He sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) looking dejected. But he immediately snapped out of his daze and slapped himself hard across the face.

"Wait a minute! I'm only twenty-four! How could I like an old lady? No way! This course has brainwashed me, Lu Ze, you have to pull yourself together! You have to like eighteen-year-old girls!"

After finally remembering his age, Lu Ze carefully reflected on what he had learned from the course.

Lu Ze got up and went to a mirror nailed to the wall. Suddenly, he slumped down and looked a little hunched over. He gently pounded his lower back with his right hand. Looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes were dull and lifeless. Although his skin was wrinkle-free and showed no signs of aging, he gave the first impression of a decrepit old man.

He clenched his left fist and coughed lightly twice. "Ahem, Xiaoqin, are you coming home for dinner tonight? Dad misses you."

His voice was hoarse, just like that of an ordinary old man. In other words, he had learned what an old man was generally like!

Returning to his youthful state, Lu Ze rubbed his face vigorously, unable to contain his surprise and excitement. That whip really wasn't for nothing!
However, Lu Ze's surprise froze as he thought of something else. Right, he had forgotten the time.

He pounced on the kang (a heated brick bed), took out his phone and glanced at it. Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. At first glance, the year was correct, the month was correct, and only one night had passed!

"We're rich! We're rich! That's awesome! So domineering!"

Excited, Lu Ze rolled around on the bed twice. Thinking about how many things he still hadn't learned on the interface, he wished he could lie down on the bed and take a nap right now.

However, after glancing at the screen and seeing that his rest time was already saturated, Lu Ze realized that he couldn't keep studying, or he might end up sleeping like a vegetable.

So what do we do now? Start working, of course! Go earn some money, after all, people need to eat, right?

After washing up, Lu Ze put on a high-quality replica of Adidas and carried a small crossbody bag he bought for thirty yuan, which contained his keys, about a hundred yuan, cigarettes, his mobile phone, and a power bank.

He looked in the mirror and admired himself for a while. He was 1.86 meters tall and weighed 150 pounds. His looks weren't exactly refined, but he was still a handsome and energetic young man. He rubbed his buzz cut with both hands. Perfect!
"Oh~ Lu Ze! You're the most handsome blue silver man in the world~" After admiring himself, Lu Ze went out and locked the door. He glanced at the door of the east room, which was not locked, but the glass on the door was covered with newspaper, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. Lu Ze didn't want to disturb Yang Dan, so he turned around and left.

"Brother Zhang just got back? Did you film all night?"

"Yeah, I'm so sleepy. Damn, that male lead has a zombie face. He probably had too much plastic surgery and his face is stiff. He can't even cry or laugh. He's expressionless the whole time. They barely managed to get it right after filming all night."

"Then you can rest, I'm going to start working."

Lu Ze didn't ask who the male lead was out of curiosity. Even if he asked Brother Zhang, he wouldn't tell him. After all, they were just extras, and it would be too easy for someone who had become a star to crush them.

You can complain behind someone's back, but don't mention their name. If someone is really curious and wants to know, they can ask around elsewhere and find out. But then it has nothing to do with the person complaining, since they didn't mention their name.

Stepping outside, they found themselves in the suburbs next to Hengdian. The air was quite fresh in the morning. After taking a breath of fresh air and stretching, Lu Ze couldn't help but burst into song.

"I woke up early this morning and I'm so damn sleepy!"

After walking for about twenty minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the film studio. I bought three steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, carried a cardboard box, found a conspicuous green area to sit on, took out my phone and played a couple of games, then drank my soy milk and ate my steamed buns while waiting for the foreman inside the film studio to call for work.

"Forty men, dead or alive! Men only! Hurry up!"

Upon hearing someone shout that he was alive, Lu Ze took off running and rushed forward. This time he was really fast and squeezed straight to the front row.

"You, you, and you too, big guy, come here! And you, fatso, get out of here! There's no one this fat in anti-Japanese war dramas. What the hell are you doing here, weighing 270 or 280 pounds!"

Lu Ze was chosen once again, but this time he wasn't as excited as he was yesterday. He strolled into the film set with the foreman, Liu Le.

"Dead or alive" is very simple; it's just playing a corpse. There are many such roles here, which is why there's a joke that the number of Eighth Route Army soldiers who die in Hengdian in a single day could circle the Earth.

However, wearing such a thick cotton-padded coat on a hot day is indeed quite uncomfortable, and one can imagine what such clothing must feel like in the summer.

The sour smell was like an old lady's armpit. Don't tell me you've never smelled it and are just making things up; Lu Ze had definitely smelled it before.
Besides, makeup artists don't prepare for someone like you who's just a background actor. They just grab a handful of dirt from the ground, smear it on your head, and then squeeze some blood from your face.

Lu Zecheng died instantly in a side-lying position, his eyes closed and motionless. Then, all that could be heard was a series of sounds: "Da da da da da da da! Ding bang! Da da da da da da! Scratching! Ding bang!"

Then came a furious roar: "Brothers! Avenge our fallen brothers! Charge!!"

As soon as the bugle sounded, "Clang! Thump-thump-thump! Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat! Clang! Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh! Rat-a-tat-tat!"

Lu Ze felt a lot of people running past him and rushing forward. Finally, with his eyes closed, he didn't know which idiot was running without looking down and kicked him in the stomach. Lu Ze almost vomited from the kick. If his eyes hadn't been closed, his eyeballs would have popped out.

And it wasn't intentional! He genuinely wasn't watching where he was going. Why? Because this idiot was on top of Lu Ze, and he tripped and fell!
"Crack!"
