Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 234 Three-Day Hunger Strike: This is a Madman for Drama!
Xu Shanzheng was also very pleased. He firmly believed that as long as the drama could be released, it would definitely be a hit with their acting skills.

This scene made everyone see Zhou Yang in a new light, and they were all deeply impressed by his acting skills.

A few days later, Zhou Yang once again demonstrated their true acting skills, passing the test in just one take each time.

Holding the NG record sheet in his hand, Wen Muye mocked Xu Shanzheng, saying, "Brother Shanzheng, look at you, you've already had twelve NGs, while Zhou Yang hasn't had a single NG. Are you even that good as a senior?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Shanzheng couldn't help but laugh and scold, "What do you know? I'm just constantly pursuing a higher level!"

However, Xu Shanzheng also felt the pressure.

Every time I film a movie, I have to put in more than 200% effort.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be surpassed by Zhou Yang in front of so many staff members.

Xu Shanzheng was unaware that it was Zhou Yang's influence that led him to win several important awards a few months later for his film "Dying to Survive".

A month later, Zhou Yang only had one last scene left, set in a hospital ward.

However, in this scene, the character played by Lü Shouyi suffers a rapid decline in his condition due to leukemia, becoming emaciated and extremely weak.

To realistically portray this state, Zhou Yang first lost weight, jumping rope 8000 times a day and eating only one steamed bun and a bowl of boiled vegetables for each meal.

Zhou Yang specially took a picture of her simple dinner of boiled vegetables and steamed buns and shared it with her fans on Weibo, with the caption: "It's so hard, so hard, and I'm surprised that you saw it during the most difficult time."

This action immediately drew ridicule and mockery from fans.

"Haha, Yang, are you planning to switch careers and become a food blogger?"

"Stop messing around, I promise there will be delicious food in the next second."

"Hurry up, let's crowdfund fried chicken legs for Brother Yang and send them over to him."

"Oh dear, Brother Yang is so pitiful. The conditions on set are really bad."

"It must be true. @Dying to Survive, trashy production team, abusing the actors."

Ten days later, Zhou Yang's weight had dropped from 165 jin to 130 jin, a loss of 35 jin.

It should be noted that Zhou Yang was originally a tall man of 183cm, but now he is thin and pale.

The crew members all looked at Zhou Yang with admiration.

For the role, Zhou Yang lost 35 pounds in just ten days. Such effort and dedication are unimaginable for ordinary people.

Wen Muye expressed extreme satisfaction with Zhou Yang's current physique: "Zhou Yang, you're amazing! If you maintain this physique, your portrayal of Lü Shouyi will definitely be even more realistic!"

However, Zhou Yang shook his head: "Director, I am not satisfied with my current state. I feel that this physique does not reflect the image of Lü Shouyi's serious illness and weakness."

The director looked at Zhou Yang with a puzzled expression, wondering what he was planning to do.

Zhou Yang seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly looked up and said, "Director, I want to fast for three days and three nights in my hospital bed!"

what? !

Wen Muye was utterly astonished—having gone three days and three nights without food, was she trying to commit suicide?! This was truly insane.

“Zhou Yang, are you trying to kill yourself?! No, I absolutely cannot allow you to do this.” Wen Muye directly rejected Zhou Yang’s crazy idea.

If something goes wrong, not only will the director be unable to escape responsibility, but the film's release date will also become a mystery.

Zhou Yang's persuasion failed, so he had to ask Xu Shanzheng to come and try to convince Wen Muye.

"What! You plan to go three days and three nights without eating? Are you crazy?!" Xu Shanzheng was just as shocked as Wen Muye. His first thought was that Zhou Yang had gone mad.

Zhou Yang explained, "Brother Shanzheng, you need to think about this. If you want to perfectly portray the weakness of Lü Shouyi after his condition worsens, you have to put your body into the same state of weakness..."

"Forget it!" Xu Shanzheng didn't allow Zhou Yang to continue. "There's a limit to acting. It can't endanger your life!" "How about this, have medical staff monitor my vital signs around the clock, and if I become too weak, immediately give me IV fluids to provide nutrition? Is that okay?" Zhou Yang proposed a compromise.

Xu Shanzheng frowned, but when he saw the burning passion in Zhou Yang's eyes, he was startled.

That look in his eyes is the same as when he first started acting—it reflects his most sincere love for acting.

Xu Shanzheng turned his head and said firmly to Wen Muye, "Old Wen, I support Zhou Yang, let's do it this way!"

Wen Muye was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "You two are both crazy!"

……

Three days and three nights later, Lu Shouyi, now playing the role of Zhou Yang, lay weakly in his hospital bed.

Just as Cheng Yong came to visit Lü Shouyi, Lü Shouyi still tried his best to cheer up and forced a smile: "You got a smart haircut."

At the same time, a nurse entered the ward, gently lifted Lü Shouyi's clothes, and revealed the wound on his abdomen.

The nurse drew the curtains and began extracting bone marrow from Lü Shouyi. He screamed in agony, the sound echoing down the corridor.

Finally, as night fell, unable to endure the torment of his illness any longer, Lü Shouyi, with a deep longing for his wife and children, resolutely jumped out of the ward and ended his life.

"Well done!" With director Wen Muye's praise, Zhou Yang's scenes came to an end.

Thunderous applause erupted as everyone surrounded Zhou Yang, rushing forward to congratulate him on finishing filming.

"Zhou Yang, your acting is superb."

"Zhou Yang, congratulations! You can go home and rest now!"

"That's amazing! It made me cry several times while watching it."

"..."

Wen Muye also came forward and gave Zhou Yang a warm hug: "After being together for so long, I'm actually a little reluctant to part with you."

Zhou Yang pushed Wen Muye away forcefully, laughing and scolding, "You almost strangled me to death! Don't you know I'm a patient right now?"

He had not eaten or drunk anything for three days and three nights, and now his body was extremely weak.

After taking a group photo with the entire crew, Zhou Yang left the crew and returned to Shanghai.

On the way, Zhou Yang posted a Weibo post with a group photo with the crew.

However, in order to surprise everyone when the movie was released, Zhou Yang specially blurred his entire body with mosaic.

Fans who had been eagerly awaiting Zhou Yang's updates were taken aback by her actions.

"Brother Yang, blurring the image like this can easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Emmmm, if you didn't know better, you might think you made Japanese adult films."

"Haha, this was originally just a normal photo, but after adding the mosaic, it just feels a bit strange."

"However, I'm really looking forward to Yang's first movie."

"I'm really looking forward to it! I'm sure the quality of our collaboration with Xu Shan will be excellent!"

"..."

Zhou Yang returned home, took a shower, and because he was too weak, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, a loud knocking woke Zhou Yang up.
