I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 227, The Laurel!
From Baiyue, who was next to Li Xiaoyao at the beginning, to Fahai, the ascetic and masculine handsome man who was obsessed with the White Snake.

Two distinct temperaments, one yin and one yang, completely transformed; if you don't look closely at their appearance, you really can't tell they're the same person.

Or rather.

It's really hard to tell.

Like twin brothers with completely different personalities.

The underlying tone of their eyes in close-up shots is different, making them look like they belong to different people.

This is not the same person.

at this time.

Even Zhao Yanzi squinted her eyes.

The smoke and clouds over Beijing.

She made this film in order to break away from the character of Xiao Yanzi.

Many people and actors have a fixed image of their roles, that is, a preconceived notion. If they acted too well, they will not be able to surpass their later roles, and they will feel that no matter how they act, they will always look like the previous work.

As it turns out, she has indeed broken free from the influence of Little Swallow this time.

She can be more than just Little Swallow.

Shedding preconceived notions is why her reputation has risen further this time; overly famous roles are a constraint, a strong shackle.

Some people can never shake off this fixed impression throughout their entire lives.

But at this time.
The silhouette changed once again, this time transforming from Vajra Fahai into a domineering and arrogant iron-willed tyrant, with an absolutely heavy scheming mind and a hundred hidden thoughts in his eyes, as if he were about to plot against you at any moment.

Moon worship is very simple.

Fahai is also very simple.

They never conceal their purposes and thoughts. From the very beginning, everything they do, think, and act is guided by their own will and principles.

clear and distinct.

Their eyes.

They are all very clear.

Only the Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu ignored his gaze, which was filled with a kind of mist, a gray mist.

The confusion makes it impossible to distinguish between good and evil, or rather, different people, different classes, ages, personalities, and genders all perceive Zhu Wushi differently.

completely different.

With just a change in his eyes, he can switch between good and evil stances at any time, and even in silhouette shots, you can see that explosive change in acting skills.

Finally, the formal moon worship ceremony takes place.

A truly monstrous and evil man.

In a silhouette shot.

Three characters, three people, appeared.

Three completely different people.

At this moment.

The audience was completely silent.

Hu Qu was also shocked.

I was completely shocked.

The last vestiges of hope in my heart were shattered.

"It's okay, he's just a great actor. But when it comes to judging the most popular actor, he doesn't necessarily have an advantage."

Cai Yulong, standing next to him, didn't look much better either.

If it were just the role of Bai Yue, she would only think that Li Xuan was a child with some extraordinary talent, a natural-born actor.

And then at this moment.

She had a different idea.

This seedling is way too thick!

This seedling is way too big!
Unrivaled among our generation.

In terms of acting skills, Hu Qu's confidence was shattered. All those titles like "campus celebrity," "Shanghai Theatre Academy's most handsome boy," and "Brother Xiaoyao" were just a bunch of nonsense.

All confidence vanished in the face of Li Xuan.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

Huang Xiaoming was also shocked and dazed at this moment. They were all in the industry. Whether the acting was good or bad, how well it was done, could be seen at a glance.

The three characters just now.

The most basic feeling.

Wise, shrewd, and upright.

They each represent a fundamental temperament and personality trait, with completely different character traits.
Completely different background color variations...it can only be described as 'ever-changing'.

I've never heard of someone whose temperament can be so versatile, who can break free from the shackles and aura of a role like this.

"Our junior really has solid skills."

At this moment, Chen Kun murmured to himself, "I remember the last time I saw him was during the midterm exams at school. I never expected to see him nominated for an award here."

After filming "The Knot," Chen Kun has been busy developing his music career and hasn't been acting. Unexpectedly, in just one year, he saw his junior, who was still in school, produce a work that went up to the awards stage at the Fengyun Awards. It felt like a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

No, it's only been a year, it feels like a lifetime!

That's because their rate of progress is truly astonishing!
Huang Xiaoming's expression turned quite unpleasant at this moment.
Why should he?
At this moment, Zhao Yanzi also took a deep look at Li Xuan's side.

It seems they also remembered this junior.

at this time.

The winner of this year's awards ceremony will be announced as the most popular male actor.

Li Xuan —

Zhu Wushi, Baiyue, Fahai.

At this moment, the big screen displays the silhouettes of the three characters.

This year, he won the Best Actor award at the Grand Ceremony.
It's Li Xuan!
Three silhouettes, three characters, three different expressions.

Their temperament, appearance, and underlying character are completely different.

If viewed in isolation, one can only admire the actor's performance and the way he fits the role—this acting was truly excellent.

But when these three people, these three roles, are produced by the same person, then the feeling is completely different.

After that feeling fermented
"This kid really is as Jiang Wen said, he's no ordinary person." At this moment, Han Ping said calmly, "I'm afraid the Beijing circle can't suppress his rise."

From "Looking for a Gun" back then to "The Myth" later on.

And now, on the awards stage at the grand ceremony.

When I saw Li Xuan again.

I was truly amazed and astonished.

His growth rate.

In the blink of an eye, he seems to grow to a point where you can't see him anymore; every time, every glance, he becomes different.

That's the most breathtaking feeling.

Most popular male actor.

Ge Pengyan, who was standing next to him, was looking at Li Xuan.

It seems we've discovered a hidden gem.

This uncut jade is ever-changing.

Could he give it a try?
The crown of most popular male actor.

It fell to Li Xuan.

Amidst the spotlight and dazzling lights, the awards received were a testament to their exceptional talent and charisma.

The congratulations and cheers from the bystanders.

At this moment, Li Xuan could not hear anything. The world around him became quiet, and everything around him turned into a busy signal.

My uncle was so moved he almost cried.

for him.

Or it's when the true emotions erupt.

The days when I was an extra.

It feels like it was just yesterday.

The days of being looked down upon and ridiculed, the days when the two of them were utterly useless, seem like only yesterday.

Shout it out loud.

Who dares to criticize us now! We earned our success through hard work and perseverance.

This year's awards ceremony recognizes the most popular male actor.

At this moment, Hu Qu began to clap, and the applause spread from him to the surrounding crowd.

Even Chen Kun applauded.

"This is quite interesting. It was definitely worth coming to the TV Drama Awards Ceremony."

Beside him is Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

Huang Xiaoming stared at that side with a stinging gaze.

The stars were shining brightly at that moment.

An uncrowned laurel.

It doesn't seem to be above my head either.

How infuriating!
More and more applause spread, and neither the Zhang family father and son, who liked Li Xuan nor disliked him, had any objection to the result.

Zhang Guoli remained silent at this point.

Objectively speaking, this kid is a really annoying person.

He has a strange stubbornness in his personality.

He has never compromised when it comes to capital.

Most people who get to this point have compromised with those in higher positions; compromise has become an art.

It is a kind of wisdom in life, and like baijiu (Chinese liquor), it is a requirement and a necessary condition for success. So much so that Zhang Guoli requires every newcomer he is going to mentor to have a certain capacity for baijiu.

The wisdom at the dinner table lies not in how much alcohol you can drink, but in what you are willing to give for that drink.

If you can only drink one glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor), but you can drink three glasses in a row and even cause a stomach hemorrhage, then your sincerity is truly remarkable.

That's what makes me feel sincerity.

This has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is always the same.

Compromise is ingrained in our genes.

until one day.

After encountering Li Xuan, his actions and everything he did seemed to tell everyone...
He doesn't follow the rules.

The place he possesses is one of extremely high purity.

Purity that can't be defeated no matter what.

At this moment, Zhang Guoli took a deep breath.

"He's really good at breaking the rules."

No matter how.

The plan to praise him to death has completely failed.

His final act of dignity was simply accepting defeat.

When Li Xuan walked onto the podium and received his award, he took a deep breath.

Reach the sky in one step.

I did it.

The popularity of the three characters, which had been building up over time, exploded.

Did you see that?

Is this award prestigious enough?

At this moment, Li Xuan seemed to be talking to himself.

It's like questioning one's own past.

Someone answered.

That's enough. This award is very prestigious.

The system's response.

It's like saying...

Wait until we get back to settle our rewards!
Li Xuan accepted the awards as the most popular male actor who debuted this year and the best new male actor.

The spotlights shone on Li Xuan.
From the moment he accepted the award, he was promoted to near-top-tier status in period dramas.

Theoretically, he's on the same level as Huang Xiaoming now.

Zhang Guoli's previous encouragement and praise of Li Xuan has now been fully transformed into an impact on the individual, turning a second-tier player into a near-first-tier player.

"With his abilities, he could have reached this position even without Zhang Guoli's help, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Wang Haiyang became quite interested at this point.

Watching the dazzling new male actors on TV.

This is just a junior in college.
just now.

He has a brand new price.

Once a product has reached a new level, it's open to discussion; anything can be discussed.

New value products should be negotiated at entirely new prices.

Everything can be priced.

The reason Li Xuan didn't talk to investors before wasn't because he disliked them, but simply because the prices they offered weren't what he was willing to pay. Now that he has proven his worth, Li Xuan is entitled to ask for a better price.

Even if it costs a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

We people in the capital circle can also bombard you until you submit.

At this very moment, within Huayi Brothers, those responsible for auditing and data analysis also discerned Li Xuan's potential value.

Future achievements.

They are no less capable than the class of '96.

They can basically be considered to be in the same tier of talents.

They can be described as the rising stars of this era.

At that moment, in Wang Fengsheng's office, he watched his student rise to prominence in one fell swoop.

Underneath these three characters and some chemistry.

They have become a near-top-tier generation of young people.

A near-top-tier historical drama, aside from lacking proven box office and viewership appeal, is roughly equivalent to a near-top-tier drama in terms of pure acting skills within the television drama field.

Aspiring first-tier university graduates who haven't even graduated yet.

A star student who won an award before even graduating.

I never imagined that I would witness the rise of this little legend as I approach retirement.

It's truly astonishing.

It's like looking at a fine work of art.

When I first saw him, he was just a rough draft, a piece of amazing material, but now this piece of material...

However, it gradually deviated from its original form.

To become exquisite jade.

It gradually took shape, and only after it took shape did I realize that I had underestimated this rough gem.

He became like a finely carved jade.

As it gradually takes shape.

Only then did I realize how incredibly talented he was.

I thought I had already overestimated him, but the explosive performances of those three roles have propelled his popularity to near the top tier.

"He even managed to take advantage of the excessive praise Zhang Guoli showered on him, turning it into a stepping stone to boost his popularity to an unprecedented level. Perhaps this is a combination of perfect timing, favorable circumstances, and helpful people; someone helped him with this," said Xu Xiang, the principal of the Chinese department who was giving a lecture nearby.

Wang Fengsheng was both amused and exasperated; this was an example of how the right timing, location, and people could redefine the concept of "help."

They were clearly trying to harm him, but instead, they became his helpers. This is a classic case of shooting themselves in the foot.

In the end, all I can say is this:

What a messed up life.

It's really frustrating.

"I guess I win this time."

Wang Fengsheng eagerly said that he really hoped his old friend would agree to a bet with him.

Xu Xiang responded with a faint smile.

"You seem to be getting excited a little too soon. You haven't retired yet, and you still have a year until your senior year. It's premature to draw conclusions like this."

Although he is qualified to play the lead role, he has the acting skills and enough popularity, at the moment.

Now he has risen to the status of a leading actor.

The only thing that hasn't been verified is probably its box office and viewership appeal.

This can only be verified if he becomes the main character.

"He's no longer a target, is he? Capital will only do what's most beneficial to its own bank account balance."

"Then you still don't understand capital. Capital doesn't operate on your current bank account balance; it operates on your future expected value of money. If you only care about your bank account balance, then you can only be considered a company, not capital."

At this moment, Xu Xiang squinted and smiled, "I'll make you a bet: within two years at the earliest, those capitalists in Beijing's financial circles will spare no effort to blacklist him."

“Is it that exaggerated?”

Don't you trust my judgment of people?

Wang Fengsheng was somewhat skeptical about this, finding it rather mysterious, but Xu Xiang remained noncommittal.

I'm the best at judging people.

In the eyes of this guy named Li Xuan.

I saw something called wolfish ambition.

His reasons for refusing to be recruited by capital may not be solely due to unequal distribution of wealth.
He thought he'd play by himself.

at this time.

This year's awards ceremony is drawing to a close. After the awards that can have a significant impact on a career are given out, the rest are basically just minor prizes.

The most important awards have been selected.

Whether they are uncrowned kings or crowned kings, they have all been chosen.

Most popular male actor, Li Xuan.

Most popular actress, Swallow.

Li Xuan is the most promising new male actor.

Liu Yifei is the most promising new actress.

After the list was released, there were basically no objections.

"Congratulations, this award is quite prestigious, and its prestige will continue to increase in the future."

At this moment, Liu Lili stood beside her and offered her congratulations in a low voice.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that the prestige of this award will continue to rise, because the internet age is destined to be a torrent, and awards born from the internet age will become more valuable as the internet age deepens.

This is almost inevitable.

Liu Yifei, standing beside her, smiled and said...

"Congratulations, Brother Li! I knew you could do it!"

This remark made Hu Qu, who was standing next to him, feel a pang of sadness.

Because Liu Yifei's tone showed no surprise, as she felt that Li Xuan winning these awards was not entirely unexpected.
It was this taken-for-granted trust that made Hu Qu, who was standing next to her, feel sour.

Ling'er, my Ling'er!

Thank you.

At that moment, Li Xuan smiled slightly.

Weighing the medal in my hand, this is a lifetime achievement.
I am the newest person of the year.

Wang Jing, who was not far away, also ran over after the meeting and patted Li Xuan on the shoulder with a big laugh.

You really are my savior!

Originally, the work "The World's Number One" was not supposed to be featured in this grand ceremony, which was quite special. However, Li Xuan managed to get in by relying on his character portrayal and strong acting skills.

They forcefully brought in the world's number one team.

This feeling is absolutely incomparably exhilarating!
What a fucking surprise!

My Xuan, you are the true protagonist of our world!

Many people came to congratulate Li Xuan, and of course, there were also people like Cai Yulong who came to Li Xuan to ask for a price.

Aunt Liu directly blocked it.

I'm talking about you.

"What do you mean, 'I'? I was the one who brought Li Xuan to your film crew back then." Liu Lili chuckled and said, "Then he's one of mine, right?"

Cai Yulong's lips twitched, but the truth was undeniable.

Theoretically speaking, there is a high probability that Li Xuan is Liu Lili's man, especially after seeing the way Liu Yifei looks at Li Xuan, which makes it seem like there's something fishy going on.

Damn it, they hijacked it.

Cai Yulong could only reluctantly leave with his blessings and take Lao Hu away, while Hu Qu just turned back and gave Li Xuan a deep look before leaving without saying a word.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

"It's alright. I used you as a shield back then, and now I'll be your shield. It's a win-win situation where everyone benefits, which is the foundation for the healthy operation of social rules."

Liu Lili waved her hand, saying that Hongxingwu was opened specifically for Liu Yifei and that they did not plan to accept any new artists in the future. They didn't have the energy or the need for it.

However, Liu Lili still reminded Li Xuan at this moment.

If you really have a relationship with Charles Heung, I suggest you make it public as soon as possible. Otherwise, being a free agent in this industry will still be subject to many restrictions.

At this moment, Li Xuan nodded, which was considered as expressing his stance.

"Aunt Liu, I naturally have my own ideas about my future, don't worry. I won't joke around with my future."

"You are a smart man."

In terms of attitude towards communication.

Liu Lili unconsciously began to communicate with Li Xuan as an equal, someone mature and strong.

This was a point she had never made with any of the young people she spoke with before.

In particular, the mature and clear sense of purpose in his eyes.

He knows what he's doing.

He's so mature. Most people his age have a hint of confusion in their eyes, but Li Xuan doesn't.

He didn't have the confusion that young people often experience.

This is truly incredible.

"Brother Li, see you when we get back to school! I'll tell the classmates the good news!"

In this internet age, I doubt anyone doesn't know her.

However, Liu Yifei probably just wanted to enjoy the joy of receiving this announcement herself.

At this moment, Li Xuan couldn't wait to check the rewards the system had given him.

[Awards received: Awards Ceremony, Most Popular Actor, Best New Actor]
[Rewards Received: Enhanced Heart, Enhanced Liver, Enhanced Circulatory System (Your body has recovered to good health. Congratulations! Your physique is now in line with your age group.) (Please ensure you consume sufficient calories to redeem the system rewards and attribute points.)]
[Additional bacterial resistance allows the host to film without fear in India]
Now that my body is basically healthy, further strengthening it would not be a necessity, but rather an ambition and the icing on the cake.

That was awesome!

The system's protection with nine dragons is the best gift, but according to the law of conservation of energy, I still need to go to the buffet after this is over.

Furthermore, I also have extra attributes like endurance, which gives me a significant physical advantage over my peers. After all, endurance provides me with a lot of advantages when staying up all night.

It also rewards you with +1 to Stamina, +1 to Strength, +1 to Mental Resistance, and +1 to Acting Gauge.

It's like adding icing on the cake.

The only thing worth complaining about is the bacterial resistance. Even if you gave me that attribute, I still wouldn't dare drink Ganges water!

At this moment, Li Xuan was thinking, would it be possible for virus resistance and occupational disease resistance to also be revealed in the future? After all, the system is so powerful, and filming always involves exposure to various diseases.

Giving myself so much liver resistance is probably for use at drinking parties, but when the purity is sufficient, I don't need to please others at drinking parties.

The system hasn't finished calculating the rewards yet.

There are still some items that haven't been shipped out yet!
