After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 14 Skill Card Upgrade

……

As the steam rises.

In a short while, several baskets of steamed buns made by Sheng Yixia came out of the oven.

Judge A picked up a steamed bun and, following the script, showed a scrutinizing expression and spoke his lines: "The skin is thin and the filling is large. The folds are evenly spaced like a chrysanthemum and a carp's mouth. It looks good."

Then he picked up the steamed bun and brought it to his mouth, bit through the edge, and gently sipped the soup.

The fresh taste with a hint of sweetness flows into your mouth.

For a moment, Referee A was stunned on the spot.

He quickly took another bite, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression became a little ecstatic, as if he was feeling a sense of happiness after tasting an unparalleled delicacy.

He couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "It's delicious, so delicious, the chewy skin and the fresh, fragrant and sweet fillings are perfectly blended together."

Referee B took a bite and also showed a stunned expression. Then he ate the whole steamed bun in two or three bites, with a happy expression on his face: "I haven't eaten such authentic steamed buns for a long time."

"Why do I feel it tastes better than what Chef Li Changshun made?" Referee C echoed.

At this point in the play, everything has gone wrong.

But the director didn't say cut.

Li Changshun, who was serving as the technical instructor, was unhappy.

He admitted that Sheng Yixia was indeed a rare genius pastry chef, but no matter how talented he was, he had only learned for a long time. Could the steamed buns he made be better than his?
Besides, the filling that Sheng Yixia used was actually prepared in advance by him.

Li Changshun went up to pick up a steamed bun in a reluctant manner, but just as he bit through the skin and sucked a sip of the soup, he froze.

His eyes widened little by little, full of shock and disbelief, and then he turned his head and stared at Sheng Yixia: "Boy, you are not really from a certain pastry chef school, are you? Is it the Xicheng school or the Sucheng school? Are you here undercover to steal my skills?"

Sheng Yixia was sweating and said quickly: "Master Li, I am indeed from Xicheng, but I have never learned this."

Li Changshun snorted and said, "Your Xicheng style is too sweet. Are you trying to improve it?"

Then he put his hands behind his back and ignored Sheng Yixia, looking as if he no longer trusted Sheng Yixia.

Seeing this scene, the director, assistant director, and screenwriter couldn't help but stepped forward to taste it, and they were all shocked.

Soon, the scene became chaotic, and the three baskets of twenty-four steamed buns that Sheng Yixia personally steamed were snatched away in no time.

Everyone was still enjoying the meal and their eyes were fixed on Sheng Yixia.

"Director Li, can we hurry up and shoot?" Sheng Yixia looked helplessly at Director Li who was leading the fun. "At worst, I can make a few more baskets for everyone after the shooting is over today."

Delaying the filming progress means delaying his completion, and delaying the completion means affecting his card drawing. This crew is so unprofessional.

"It's okay, it won't delay the shooting progress. These are all high-quality behind-the-scenes materials." Director Li said with a smile, "We can edit them later and use them as promotional materials."

But you delayed my get off work.

Sheng Yixia didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Fortunately, Director Li felt that the material had been accumulated enough and started to speed up the shooting.

But something went wrong when the judging panel was filmed tasting the steamed buns made by the villain.

Logically speaking, based on the plot and setting, they need to show shock after tasting it, and then give a lot of praise.

Unexpectedly, the judging panel subconsciously frowned slightly, and the subsequent shocked expression looked a little fake, and the lines of praise also had a bit of insincerity.

There is no way. After eating Sheng Yixia’s Xiaolong Steamed Buns, I always feel that something is wrong when eating this. It is not fresh or sweet, not smooth or tender, and even feels a bit choking.

"Crack!"

Director Li immediately called "cut" and asked for a reshoot.

Soon, the director called out "cut" again.

After shooting several takes, the actors in the judging group were in increasingly worse condition after eating too much, and the results were getting worse and worse.

Although these actors are generally older, they are not veteran actors. They just play small supporting roles. It is impossible for them to perform without props and still be at ease.

The screenwriter looked at Director Li's increasingly gloomy face and his heart began to beat fast.

Is this crappy director going to ask me to change the script again?

The actor who played the male lead was originally watching the fun happily, but as he watched further he felt something was wrong.

I feel like compared to Sheng Yixia, this villain's performance is a bit lame~
If the director suddenly decided to change it to Wu Yongguang winning the game and arranged for him to compete against himself in the final...

Then the script was revised again, and the third male lead, Wu Yongguang, emerged as a dark horse, killed the villain and the male lead, and won the female lead.

What the hell!

The thought of this plot gave him chills. By then, he, the male lead, would be directly demoted to the third male lead. Wouldn't he become a laughing stock in the circle? He was acting and he lost his role as the male lead.

Brother, don't do it.

We are making a movie, not a reality show.

On the other hand, the original male number three seemed quite relaxed, holding a melon in his hand and squatting aside to watch the fun.

The more he watched, the happier he became. He couldn't help but take a big bite of the melon, laughing to himself.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Now you all have tasted what I felt just now, right?

His mind suddenly felt much more balanced.

Fortunately, Director Li is not that irrational.

If the script was changed further, it would be a huge operation. After hesitating for a while, he decided to adopt the first approach and then edit it and do some post-production processing.

The assistant director quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Li, this one is not very convincing, right?"

"What can we do?" Director Li asked unhappily.

"How about we swap the one shot for Teacher Sheng with this one?" The assistant director proposed a solution.

"Haha, do you think his agent Zhang Qing is someone who is easy to bully?" Director Li sneered twice, "You haven't seen the scene where she tore people apart back then. Okay, let's do it this way. I'll add more glowing special effects to the villain later and do more rendering in post-production."

Then the next plot was filmed and the referees announced their scores. Wu Yongguang, played by Sheng Yixia, lost the game.

Next, there was a shot of Sheng Yixia leaving the stage sadly and silently sending blessings to the male and female protagonists.

This part is Sheng Yixia's weak point. The camera kept clicking. Gu Yonghan kept adjusting Sheng Yixia's state and teaching her acting skills.

After much difficulty, I finally passed this last one.

The assistant director came to Sheng Yixia with a big smile on his face and handed her another red envelope: "Teacher Sheng, congratulations on finishing the filming again."

"Thank you, thank you." Sheng Yixia breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Today's play is so difficult, much more difficult than the last time I played Yin Wujiu in The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Although Yin Wujiu has more scenes, as a villain, he often just needs to have a blank expression and a cold aura.

It is really hard for him to put himself in Wu Yongguang's shoes. If Brother Gu hadn't been there, he would have had a hard time today.

Fortunately, this is an online movie, the director's requirements are not high, and he doesn't have time to argue with him endlessly, so he almost let him go. If it were a big-screen movie with huge investment, I'm afraid the director would even want to kill him.

Fortunately, he and Brother Gu made an appointment that they would perform a drama together when they are free these days to improve their acting skills.

After receiving the red envelope.

Sheng Yixia went straight to the locker room, changed her clothes quickly, and then called again to open the system.

"Congratulations to the host for reinterpreting the role of [Wu Yongguang] in [The King of Cooks]!"

The system's voice sounded in my mind as always, still cold and clear.

"Ding! It is detected that the [investment level] of this website is low, [the completeness of the world view] is low, [the fullness of the characters] is low, [the popularity of the characters] is low, [the degree of host interpretation] is medium-high, [the degree of integration between the host and the characters] is medium-high..."

"The system cannot effectively extract the character card of this character. Instead, it randomly draws a skill card for this character or improves the quality of the current skill card. Ding! It is detected that this character has no second skill card. The host can only improve the quality of the current skill card [Chinese Pastry]."

“Do you want to improve the quality of the skill card [Chinese Pastry]? Yes/No.”

It turned out to be the case.

Sheng Yixia suddenly realized.

After playing the role for the second time, you can draw cards again or improve the quality of existing skill cards. However, the character setting of Wu Yongguang is too poor. He can't do anything except making Chinese noodles.

The screenwriter is really something, couldn’t he give him a few more hidden skills and identities?
Could it be that he is a Chinese pastry chef on the surface, but secretly a superman who maintains world justice and peace?

Or maybe he is a Chinese pastry chef on the surface, but secretly he is a crazy scientist who is keen on researching high technology and fighting against alien invasions~
Who doesn’t have a side job these days?
Hey~
Today's screenwriters lack imagination.

However, his performance this time as Wu Yongguang was obviously much better than last time, and the evaluation of his host's interpretation and role integration has improved again.

"Determined to improve the quality of [Chinese pastries]." Sheng Yixia put aside all distractions and focused on the skill card.

"The system is upgrading the [Chinese Pastry] skill card..."

"Ding."

The clear and pleasant electronic sound of the blessing gem falling rang out.

"Congratulations to the host. The skill card [Chinese Pastry] has been successfully upgraded to green excellent quality, and the entry [Spiritual Healing] has been randomly obtained."
