Huayu: Don't force me to be a master

Some people just can't handle stimulation!

For example, Qian Lang.

Who is Liu Yifei?

She's a post-85 actress, and in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it's generally acknowledged that all post-85 actresses lack acting skills.

If he gets taught by Liu Yifei, how will he ever make a living?

This will be a stain on his life.

so,,,,

"Go somewhere cool and stay there!"

Qian Lang completely ignored Liu Yifei.

Moreover, Liu Tao simply didn't want to go looking for them anymore.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

Besides, he has cheat codes!

He was just a little reluctant to part with it.

In the list of Destiny Points for exchange, there is a skill called "Acting Basics," which requires 500 Destiny Points.

He still has a little over 1000 Fate Points left, which means he can use them up for three years.

Half of it is gone now...

But now that things have come to this, there's nothing he can do.

He can't bear to be looked down upon by anyone but the post-85 generation actresses; he can't afford to lose face like that.

Qian Lang ignored everyone and went to a secluded corner of the film set.

With a thought, I redeemed the [Acting Basics] manual!

then!

"That's pretty good!"

Qian Lang muttered to himself.

[Performance Introduction] is not as complicated as learning [Bajiquan].

It wasn't the kind of explosive feeling of a "boom," but rather like someone pouring a basin of warm water into his brain, slowly seeping in, penetrating every corner.

He saw the camera.

It's not the kind of seeing that you "see," but knowing where it is, knowing its angle, and knowing what it's filming.

As he stood there, a picture automatically appeared in his mind—what would the camera look like if he moved half a step to the left;

If you turn your face slightly to the right, how will the light hit your face?

He learned what "positioning" meant.

It's not enough to just stand still; you have to make sure the camera captures you, captures you well, and captures the image you want the audience to see.

He learned what "rhythm" meant.

Speaking isn't just about reciting lines; it requires pauses, emphasis, and breathing. There's a proper way to phrase things: when to say a sentence, how fast to say it, and how long to pause before continuing.

He learned what "emotions" were.

It's not about crying when you want to cry or laughing when you want to laugh; it's about making the audience believe that you are genuinely crying or laughing at that moment.

There are methods to determine where to look when crying and how to move the corners of your mouth when laughing.

He opened his eyes.

The world is still the same world, but his perspective on it has changed.

Not far away, Zhou Xiaowen was talking to the photographer, gesturing and pointing at something.

Qian Lang used to watch these things just for the spectacle.

Now, when he looks at it, the image that automatically pops into his mind is Zhou Xiaowen's position—it's a blind spot for the camera. When he stands there talking, the camera can't capture his face at all.

Qian Lang suddenly laughed.

Those 500 Fate Points were worth it.

-----------------

Filming continues.

Zhou Xiaowen sat behind the monitor, the script in her hand rolled up and gripped tightly.

He stared at the screen, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

wrong.

That's not right at all.

The person who just moments ago could not even find their way to the camera is now standing in front of the lens as steady as a veteran actor who has been making films for twenty years.

Positioning, accurate.

The dialogue was solid.

Emotions, yes.

He would even adjust himself—in one scene, after he finished moving to his position, he suddenly moved half a step to the left. Zhou Xiaowen was about to call for a stop, but when he looked at the monitor, he saw that after that half step, the light was shining on his side face, which was much better than the original position.

Zhou Xiaowen turned his head and looked at Zhang Jizhong.

Zhang Jizhong had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes narrowed, lost in thought.

The script supervisor leaned over and whispered something.

"Director Zhou, is this take good?"

Zhou Xiaowen remained silent.

He was still watching the monitor.

In the scene, Qian Lang is acting opposite Hu Jun.

Hu Jun plays Qiao Feng; just standing there, he exudes a powerful and imposing presence.

But Qian Lang, standing opposite him, was not overshadowed—he turned slightly to the side, raised his gaze a little higher, and met Hu Jun's eyes perfectly, neither humble nor arrogant, possessing the scholarly air of a gentleman and the pride of a prince.

Zhou Xiaowen suddenly remembered that Qian Lang was just looking for a camera position.

How long has it been?

Half an hour?

He swallowed hard and said something expressionlessly.

"Pass."

On the other side of the set, Liu Yifei stood like a stake.

She started watching from the moment she returned to the camera from Qianlang Station, and her mouth hasn't closed since.

How is that possible?

That doesn't make sense, and it's completely outrageous.

What is this?

Back then, in order to learn these things, she got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs.

I was also yelled at by someone surnamed Chen.

Where is Qian Lang?

In the blink of an eye, the hen turned into a duck.

"Mom, why don't you ask someone to help me find out where I can get slices? I don't think Qian Lang is a human being."

Liu Yifei spoke leisurely after Qian Lang left the film set.

Liu Xiaoli stared wide-eyed the whole time.

She also found it a bit unbelievable.

However, regarding what his daughter said...

"Nonsense!"

Of course, it wasn't just the mother and daughter who were shocked, nor was it just Zhou Xiaowen.

Every single member of the film crew...

Everyone's criticizing Qian Lang for "pretending to be weak while actually being strong"!

Indeed, no one believes that such a genius exists in the world.

Qian Lang was happy to admit it, which made things even simpler.

When Liu Tao asked him, he simply said that he wasn't used to it at first, but he got used to it later.

Therefore, Qian Lang's first day as an actor was uneventful.

However, some changes have occurred.

Liu Tao started talking to him more often.

Yang Lei would also say she wanted to rehearse with him even when she wasn't busy.

Chen Hao has already made an appointment with him to have him guide him on the movements tomorrow.

Jiang Xin, on the other hand, behaved exactly the same as before.

That night!

Qian Lang didn't return to the hotel until the middle of the night.

That evening, Zhang Jizhong treated everyone to dinner, including not only him, but also many prominent figures from the film crew.

Qian Lang was still very grateful to Zhang Jizhong. He knew that Lao Zhang was bringing him into the circle, and he didn't mind. He even acted with ease at the dinner table.

At the same time, he and Hu Jun also buried the hatchet over a drink.

When you're out in the world, having more friends means having more options, while having more enemies means having more obstacles.

Qian Lang understands this point.

It was really uncomfortable to drink too much, so Qian Lang simply yelled in the toilet.

I was just getting ready to take a shower.

But then there was a knock on the door.

This point...

Qian Lang didn't hesitate and went straight to open the door.

But Liu Tao was standing outside the door.

He recognized the beige knit sweater Liu Tao was wearing; it was the one Liu Tao wore during their first time together.

Moreover, Liu Tao looked exceptionally radiant under the corridor lights today.

In Qian Lang's eyes, Liu Tao seemed to be shining today.

Qian Lang didn't say anything, and directly pulled Liu Tao in.

"Bang!"

They closed the door, cuddled together, and realized their knitwear was in the way.

"Ugh, you smell awful, you reek of alcohol..."

"It's okay, you smell good, it'll balance things out perfectly."

"No, I need to take a shower first... um..."

. . . . . .

"Ring ring ring..."

The alarm clock rang mercilessly in the darkness.

Qian Lang was immediately startled awake.

When I opened my eyes, the room was still pitch black, but my arm felt heavy.

"Hey, wake up, it's time."

Qian Lang nudged Liu Tao and turned on the bedside lamp as he spoke.

"Ah... I'm so sleepy!"

Liu Tao spoke, half asleep and half awake.

"If you're sleepy, don't get up. Aren't you tired...?"

Qian Lang was talking.

He didn't care at all about others knowing about his relationship with Liu Tao.

On the contrary, Liu Tao insisted on keeping it a secret.

Of course, Qian Lang can understand the reasons.

He and Jiang Xin just broke up, while Liu Tao and Jiang Xin are best friends. If this situation gets out, it will probably have a big impact on Liu Tao.

"No, we have to go back. Jiang Xin will wake up soon."

Liu Tao said as he got up.

"Hey, stop messing around. Didn't you get enough last night? They all seem swollen. You're like a wild animal after drinking."

Liu Tao said this in an annoyed tone.

Qian Lang didn't say anything, he just chuckled.

indeed!

Liu Tao was unusually gentle last night...

Moreover, he could clearly sense that Liu Tao's feelings towards him had changed.

Last night, under his coercion, she even called him "husband"!

A little while later.

Liu Tao finished dressing, kissed Qian Lang on the cheek, walked to the door, and opened it.

She even glanced outside the door first, and only went out when she saw no one was there.

Qian Lang found it somewhat amusing; at four in the morning, there was no way anyone would be in the corridor except a ghost.

After Liu Tao left, he couldn't fall asleep.

He simply sat up and smoked a cigarette.

He now understood why his one-night stand with Liu Tao had so drastically changed Liu Tao's fate.

It is clear that his interactions with Liu Tao will likely continue for a considerable period of time to come.

Is it just Jiang Xin?

Despite the same fleeting pleasure, he did not gain any destiny points from Jiang Xin.

Qian Lang had a feeling that he and Jiang Xin would most likely remain parallel lines in the future.

Thinking about this, Qian Lang felt the unpredictability of fate.

After finishing the cigarette, I felt even more awake.

He simply started memorizing his lines!

-----------------

Acting is not a very happy profession.

At least that's what Qian Lang thinks.

At 5:20, Qian Lang got out of bed.

My whole body aches and pains.

Only then did he remember Liu Tao's evaluation of him.

I definitely went a bit too far last night.

Qian Lang immediately thought of an idiom: "Wine and women lead one astray!"

After washing up and having breakfast at the hotel, I arrived at the film set at 6 o'clock.

It was just before dawn.

Qian Lang pushed open the door to the film crew's dressing room and found Liu Yifei already sitting there.

She was wearing a theatrical costume, her hair was uncombed, and she had a face mask on. When she saw him come in, she glared at him in the mirror.

"You're using it so early too?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

In her memory, Qian Lang would never arrive at the film set before 10 o'clock.

Once upon a time, this was her dream.

"Sigh, I got tricked by Lao Zhang."

Qian Lang said helplessly.

He never imagined he'd have to work so early in his life...

"Ugh, you're so hypocritical."

Liu Yifei said disdainfully.

This is Duan Yu! So many people would kill to get this role.

Qian Lang, however, was still complaining.

"Believe it or not! Sis, make my makeup lighter, not too greasy."

After Qian Lang finished greeting Liu Yifei, he turned to the makeup artist and spoke.

"Teacher Qian, don't worry!"

The makeup artist was a woman in her thirties. As she spoke, she stroked Qian Lang's face with her hand.

Qian Lang couldn't help but sigh that being a makeup artist is a great profession.

At the same time, Hu Jun also arrived.

"Good morning, prodigal son."

"Good morning, Lao Hu."

The two greeted each other warmly, as if their previous conflict had never occurred.

Hu Jun sat down right next to him and started talking to him about today's play.

The crew's time at the Great Buddha Temple is almost over, and today they're filming a scene where Qiao Feng displays his divine power at the Shaolin Temple.

"You prodigal son, I wish I had your skills. I'm always afraid of falling when I'm suspended by wires."

"What you're saying? If I fell, I'd die too."

"No... couldn't you just say it wouldn't fall?"

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Liu Tao and Jiang Xin also arrived.

Liu Tao's gaze unconsciously fell on Qian Lang, who was laughing heartily.

Jiang Xin, however, was looking at Hu Jun.

But in her heart she was thinking that she must give Liu Tao a good talking-to when she got back that night, since Hu Jun was already married.

She caught Liu Tao red-handed when he returned early this morning.

Under her persistent questioning, she learned that Liu Tao and Hu Jun had been having an inappropriate relationship.

Looking at Hu Jun, Jiang Xin's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

In contrast, Qian Lang was much more upright than Hu Jun; at least he didn't lie.

Moreover, money is cheap!

She can afford to pay 200 yuan!

Thinking back to that night, Jiang Xin bit her lip.

The film crew was very lively in the morning, and everyone seemed to be in a battle.

They were busy until eight o'clock before filming finally started.

However, the weather turned bad, and the sky became overcast again not long after the shoot.

Zhang Jizhong was practically begging for divine intervention.

He also cursed the weather station.

Qian Lang was relaxed; he didn't have many scenes to film today, so he took the initiative to find Chen Hao when he had some free time.

Qian Lang fared fairly well during the rest of his time in Xinchang.

Make some movies, and be a friend to women.

When she has free time, she can also give Chen Hao some pointers on his action scenes, but every time she finishes giving him pointers, Chen Hao is always blushing.

Of course, there are also shortcomings.

For example, Jiang Xin actually became addicted.

Liu Tao, however, did not let him off the hook, launching a night raid every other day.

It seems like the two of them had agreed on this beforehand... each taking one day.

this,,,

Less than a week later, Qian Lang put up a sign of truce.

If things continue like this, he feels he won't even live to 50.

Therefore, he was determined to get those "underwear with special effects".

Otherwise, what use would he have the whole forest?

Days passed, and finally the time for the film crew to set off arrived.

As he left, Qian Lang was filled with mixed emotions.

After all, this was his first stop after his rebirth, and many stories unfolded here.

He felt that he would never forget Xinchang in his lifetime!

"Prodigal son, are you really not coming with me?"

Hu Jun shouted from inside the car.

He was driving an SUV, and it was a Mitsubishi.

These days, this car isn't cheap.

Qian Lang looked on with a hint of envy.

However, he still waved his hand.

"Old Hu, you go first, I'll go with the mother and daughter!"

Qian Lang said in a lewd manner.

Hu Jun burst into laughter upon hearing this, and stepped on the gas, causing the car to speed away.

At this moment, while everyone else was busy boarding the bus, a minivan stopped in front of Qian Lang.

When the car door opened, Qian Lang saw Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei inside.

"Hey little rascal, hop on, let's go for a ride!"
