Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

The next day.

When Bo Bing arrived at the filming location, he keenly sensed the change in the actors' attitudes towards him.

After filming began in mainland China, several of the newly joined young actors had some connections or influence. Many of them were child stars or top students majoring in drama and film at universities, so it was not uncommon for them to stick together for mutual support.

Only Bo Bing remained a loner on set, never forming cliques with anyone or attending small offline actor gatherings. She would sit on the sidelines watching others act or rehearsing her lines by herself. If she had to say who she was close to, it would be Yin Su.

Just yesterday, Yin Su actually reposted his Weibo post. The two had even taken a photo together. It's worth noting that Yin Su's repost would likely draw the attention of many directors and media outlets to the young man.

A guy like that is bound to attract resentment.

Among the actors staring at Bo Bing, some are child stars who have been in the industry for a long time and are considered "seniors" in the film and television circle; one is even a graduate student at the Shanghai Academy of Drama, who has already starred in two films at a young age.

Bo Bing ignored the gazes of the young men carrying coffee, and walked straight past them with her backpack in her hand.

He stopped because someone was blocking his way.

"do you know me?"

Bo Bing glanced at him quickly, "Shao Ying."

This is the equipment room and also serves as the dressing room for regular actors. However, it's located in a rather remote area, is somewhat dusty, and doesn't have charging facilities. It's not as spacious as the large lounge at the front. Usually, only Bo Bing's warm-up begins here.

People like Shao Ying, who have their own makeup artists, wouldn't deign to come here... they're mostly just looking for trouble.

"Knowing he's a senior, why don't you greet him?" Another young man wearing a baseball cap looked at Bo Bing with ill intent, speaking sarcastically, "Are all juniors like this nowadays? Don't they know how to be polite to their seniors?"

Shao Ying held her coffee, smiling as she looked at the young man, waiting for his reaction.

Unfortunately, Bo Bing did not react as he had imagined.

Bo Bing wasn't disrespectful to his seniors, but these guys seemed to harbor a strange hostility towards him, which made him very uncomfortable. These guys needed sycophantic followers, and Bo Bing didn't want to be a part of that.

"Excuse me," the young man said in a calm voice, "please move aside, I need to warm up."

"stop!"

The young man in the baseball cap who was standing next to him stopped him, asking, "Did we let you leave?"

"What does Senior want?" Bo Bing stared at the guy in front of her.

Shao Ying smiled, but her eyes held no smile. "I didn't come to you for anything specific, I just wanted to ask, what's your relationship with Teacher Yin Su?"

"what relationship?"

Bo Bing frowned.

"Are you putting on an act?" The young man in the baseball cap looked angry. Judging from his accent, he was probably an actor from Beijing. Bo Bing knew that he was Xia Mingxing, an actor who debuted as a child star.

Is he an overly arrogant guy? He actually named himself "Celebrity" as his stage name.

“We could have had a proper conversation,” Shao Ying said, putting down her coffee cup. The group of people seemed to be surrounded by a thin layer of ice.

Seeing Bo Bing's indifferent attitude, he felt a surge of anger. He grabbed Bo Bing's shoulder and tightened his grip, saying, "I saw Professor Yin Su's assistant pick you up in the car."

Shao Ying's fake smile made Bo Bing feel a strange sense of unease.

"so?"

Bo Bing loosened his grip, and the bag fell to the ground. "So many of you are blocking this place, are you trying to gang up on me?"

The young man looked at people with a cold expression, his eyes lowered, and a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Tsk, I didn't realize you were the kind of guy who liked to sleep with sugar daddies!" Xia Mingxing looked Bo Bing up and down. "How could Teacher Yin Su have taken a liking to someone as ordinary as you?"

“That’s what third-rate film academies are like. I bet everyone around you is an actor like you. You… must have studied a lot, right?” A guy in a blue jacket also came over. “You’re the kind of guy who can’t survive without a sugar daddy.”

"Yeah, Shaoying, you're not on the same level as him, a graduate student from the Shanghai Film Academy. You've definitely never seen how ruthless this guy can be!"

Shao Ying's eyes were already filled with resentment and malice.

—He was also among Yin Su's followers.

I like, admire, respect.

Then someone else chimed in, making no attempt to hide Bo Bing's malice, "Could it be... we heard you're good at martial arts... you mean your skills in bed?"

The group burst into laughter, as if they had heard something very interesting.

—Shut up!!!

The one who yelled was actually Shao Ying. His eyes were slightly red, and he didn't even care that the coffee had been spilled on the floor. He forcefully grabbed the thin, icy clothes and slammed the person against the wall, his voice neither loud nor soft, "You two really slept together?"

Bo Bing should deny it.

The answer should have been a denial.

But for reasons unknown, the black-haired youth sneered, his tone dripping with the most venomous liquid from a snake's fangs, "If it's what you think... what are you going to do?"

"What gives you the right?!"

The stunned guy turned into Bo Bing, and the guy in front of him seemed to be on the verge of tears; unlike Bai Zixiu, who prioritized profit and sought out sugar daddies to act as intermediaries, this guy seemed to be sincere.

Ah.

Bo Bing pulled the brim of her baseball cap down to hide her utterly disgusted expression, and the aftereffects of her collarbone were throbbing faintly.

My feelings are strange.

Compared to the dashing and handsome Shao Ying, Bo Bing looks like an average person, and might even be overlooked in a crowd. In the entertainment industry, where handsome men and beautiful women abound, anyone with eyes can tell who looks better on camera and who is more handsome. Moreover, the role of Hu Shengchuan was initially auditioned for by Shao Ying.

He could hardly believe that Yin Su's special assistant would bring Bo Bing into the car, nor could he believe that Wang Chang would say that his suitability for the role was not as good as that of a guy who graduated from a second-rate university.

This guy must have played some trick on Teacher Yin Su!

"Why?"

Bo Bing pondered her words for a moment, smiled indifferently, leaned loosely against the wall, and uttered the vicious words, "I don't like Yin Su anyway."

"Damn it," Bo Bing thought. "What's so great about that guy? They're all rushing to give him money like it's free."

Extremely irritable.

Why am I getting shot even though I'm lying down?

Do I look like such a weak and easily bullied person?

“If you love Yin Su, go call him and confess,” the young man’s eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hat, flashed with a dark blue light. “I’m not stopping you.”

"You bastard! You have no right to talk about love!"

The sound of flesh being repeatedly struck.

"Brother Shaoying!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

The group knew this wasn't a place to cause trouble, so they quickly pulled the hysterical Shaoying away, who was throwing punches.

Bo Bing's face was turned to the side by Shao Ying's punch, and her hat flew off.

Shao Ying didn't hold back; these guys in the movie were all skilled, and Bo Bing's face visibly swelled up.

"You madman—how can you still laugh?"

[Cold Fire Ignites Ice] Activated.

[Powerful] Start-up.

[Yongquan] is activated.

Alpha's emotionless, mechanical voice.

Xia Mingxing had just grabbed Shao Ying when he turned around and found the young man staring at Shao Ying and laughing. The laughter seemed to be suppressed in his throat, making him feel nauseous.

It was chilling.

The young man's cheeks were thin, even with a strange gray tinge, and his deep black eyes gleamed with an imperceptible, eerie blue light. His bangs were disheveled by Shao Ying's punch, and he exuded an undeniable sense of eccentricity.

A smile that sends chills down your spine.

—A smile that belongs only to cold-blooded animals.

"What are you doing? You..."

He saw Bo Bing standing there, his aura suddenly surging. A terrifying pressure, like viscous liquid metal melting in a cold fire, slowly seeped from every pore of the youth, flowing down the floor to the ankles of the group.

Actually, the seepage is not slow.

Otherwise, why would such terrifying pressure feel like an ice cave, instantly stealing the temperature from the knees down of several people?

[Finger Bone Enhancement] Activated.

The young man moved with lightning speed, and the group couldn't react in time. When they turned around, Shao Ying's neck was already in his hand, and his face was flushed red.

The blue in Bo Bing's pupils began to expand and contract excitedly with each heartbeat.

[Hybrid]

【like】

【? 】

Bo Bing thought to herself.

【god】

With this power, you are closer to God than anyone else.

This is a cold, impersonal notification sound.

The force with which the people were pulling him was nothing to him.

It was clear that Shao Ying's handsome face had turned a liverish color.

Bo Bing's voice rang out, fierce and ruthless, "If you've seen enough, get out here!"

Are there others?

The group turned around in alarm.

Two footsteps.

Bai Zixiu shrugged helplessly, walked out from behind the wall, glanced at Shao Ying in Bo Bing's hand, and reminded him, "He'll faint if you don't let go."

The guy behind is—

"Thin ice, that's enough."

Bo Bing turned his head, though he knew who it was even without turning his head.

The guys next to him were so nervous they were speechless, "Teacher Yin... Teacher Yin Su!"

"Teacher Yin Su...you, what are you doing here?"

Yin Su frowned, walked over, and saw that Bo Bing's knuckles had turned white from straining.

"People will die, Thin Ice."

Yin Su smiled, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, and even his eyes remained gentle.

Bo Bing indifferently let go of his hand, while Yin Su pulled Shao Ying, who was on the verge of fainting and about to crash into him, with one hand.

[Yongquan - External Treatment] activated. Effectiveness reduced by 50%.

“You’re right,” Bo Bing said seriously, looking at Shao Ying who was coughing violently.

He inexplicably dropped a sentence.

Yin Su looked at the young man backlit by the light and was about to speak when Bai Zixiu interrupted him.

"Bo Bing!" Bai Zixiu reached out to pull Bo Bing back as he was about to leave. "Where are you going?"

[Clown (Black)] activated.

Thin ice's cuffs instantly transformed into a pile of playing cards.

"Go catch up on sleep, my scene is tonight."

Bai Zixiu only managed to grab one hand of cards, while Bo Bing had already taken her backpack and entered the training room on the other side.

Bai Zixiu flipped his hand over and saw that he was holding a gray-black Joker.

The ugly and comical clown is shedding tears.

He grinned maliciously.
