Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

A few days later, Lin Jianshen got his chance.

This drama tells the story of three countries fighting each other, resulting in a series of love, hate, and grudges.

It's basically a repackaged version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms script, with a bunch of miscellaneous romantic subplots added.

Investors are thinking that the current short dramas are too homogeneous.

Viewers are already tired of many of these predictable plots.

If we extract the grand narrative of the Three Kingdoms period and combine it with the romantic storylines that are most popular in short dramas, it might become a hit and open up a new market.

That's quite an imaginative idea.

But we can't say they're being too far-fetched.

Because of the high pressure these days, many viewers don't like eating coarse grains.

Sometimes, it's the abstract and exaggerated things that tend to become popular.

There are a large number of creators of short dramas, and there are bound to be one or two people who share the same ideas.

If we're too slow, similar shows might appear on the platform in a few days.

The investors are urging the screenwriter to hurry up.

Therefore, the script showed signs of being rushed and could even be described as poorly made.

This doesn't actually fit the characteristics of high-quality scripts from Zhuifeng Media.

However, the investors bore the lion's share of the risk.

Although short dramas have low per-episode costs and quick production, in order to seize the market and cope with fierce competition, integrating multiple resources and funds has become the norm in the industry.

Some productions have several investors.

Zhuifeng Media, needing to generate revenue for Qingshan Group's R&D department, naturally couldn't escape the trend.

The actress from this investor is quite good and very popular, so it's not necessarily a guaranteed flop.

The script was assigned to Feng Ting.

Lin Jianshen was still an extra, but he had more screen time.

He plays a ragtag general—any discerning person can tell at a glance that he corresponds to General Pan Feng.

In the script, he is a completely comedic character.

He appears in episode eight, bursting out with a few lines: "I'm the little tyrant in the village, and a match for ten thousand in the army!"

"If you know what's good for you, don't try to steal my woman!"

The people around cheered loudly.

The allied forces also cheered and supported the event.

Then he was killed by Hua Xiong, who was wearing a skin, with a single slash.

Hua Xiong won the favor of the beauty.

The first episode of this show is a disguised version of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The actor who played the rebel general is named Gao Lingfeng, and he's a young and handsome actor.

He's the kind of effeminate handsome guy who's very sweet like cream.

He just couldn't capture the feeling the director wanted in his performance.

Feng Ting knew in her heart that the prospects for this script were not good.

So she wanted to perfect the details, hoping to cover up some of the script's flaws through her dedication to production.

As a result, the first scene got stuck.

The film crew works at a very fast pace, and getting stuck here will affect the overall filming schedule.

What's more troublesome is that people in the entertainment industry are all somewhat superstitious.

This is considered unlucky, as it symbolizes an inauspicious start to an expedition.

Everyone started to get anxious.

Lin Jianshen stepped forward and said, "Why don't I give it a try?"

It was the pretentious extra who pulled him back, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just a background extra at best."

Another extra, Tang Ping, added, "Yeah, you've become the scapegoat. If you don't perform well, you're doomed."

There is a hierarchy of disdain within the film crew: the lead actors look down on the supporting actors, and the supporting actors look down on the extras.

There's a hierarchy of disdain among extras; those who wear costumes and appear on camera are called "front-end extras."

Those standing in the back row whose silhouettes are only visible from behind are called distant views.

Those who have lines and roles are called guest stars.

Lin Jianshen's ability to be promoted from a key figure to a special contributor in less than half a month is something many people can only dream of.

Who can blame him for being handsome?

There's an invisible chasm between being an extra and becoming the third male lead, a chasm that can't be bridged by one's own efforts alone.

Lin Jianshen has gained Feng Ting's appreciation. As long as he follows the steps, he will be able to overcome this obstacle sooner or later.

But if he takes the lead and messes things up, and Feng Ting dislikes him, then the current situation will be completely ruined.

Lin Jianshen patted the show-off guy on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, how will you know if you don't try?"

"Opportunity is something that falls from the sky; if you catch it, it's yours."

Feng Ting looked at him, recalling his "A" grade rating, and nodded: "Okay, you give it a try."

Assistant director Li Ming was unhappy.

He's with the investors.

Gao Lingfeng was someone they had put in, and to be replaced like this, he couldn't save face.

So Li Ming said with a gloomy face, "Director Feng, isn't it inappropriate to change actors at the last minute?"

"Besides, this guy is just a nobody extra; how could he possibly play the third male lead?"

Feng Ting frowned: "An extra is an extra, what do you mean by 'a nobody extra'?"

Even the award-winning actor Stephen Chow started as an extra.

Li Ming snorted coldly.

Feng Ting added, "We should give newcomers a chance."

"Since we're already stuck here, why not let him give it a try?"

Li Ming said sinisterly, "Fine, let him try. If he's not as good as Gao Lingfeng, don't blame me for being ruthless towards him."

He shouted at Lin Jianshen, "Kid, if you don't have the skills, don't take on a job you're not qualified for, or you'll know what it means to make a fool of yourself."

Lin Jianshen changed into a tattered suit of armor and stood in front of the "Yellow Turban Army".

He kept Zhong Ran's teachings in mind and learned to find his own strengths.

He felt that his advantage was that he had lived two lives and had rich experience and life knowledge.

They are particularly able to deeply empathize with such tragic characters.

He recalled his past experiences.

His first thought was of hearing that Xia Tingwan had been bullied at school, and he stood at the school gate, letting out a roar in the strong wind.

For Ye Shangwen, it was just a child making a mistake, and he would just turn a blind eye and let it go.

For him, however, it requires the determination and courage to fight to the death.

He remembered the drink he had at the Star Trail Bar after he had collected all of Lao Li's debts.

Sun Hao Group is like a millstone, and people like Lao Li at the bottom are like beans in the millstone. The blood and tears ground out by the millstone are gathered into that bottle of wine.

He thought of Wu Hu standing in front of him years ago, eating a small bread roll right in front of him, and letting out a smug laugh.

He lay on the ground, his heart burning with rage.

Why are there so many injustices in this world?

Why should good people be bullied?

Is that correct?

wrong!

Then, he got into character and roared, "We commoners are as insignificant as a feather, as fragile as wild grass. We are born without a word, and we will die without a sound."

"Are we, born of humble origins, truly speechless?"

"Are we, born insignificant beings, truly voiceless?"

He grabbed a handful of beans and threw them into the air.

Some beans fell into the extras' broken bowl, making a crackling sound.

He roared once more, "The Blue Heaven is dead! The Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

"In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will befall the world!"

His face was angry, twisted, and ferocious.

His facial expressions were spot-on, his emotions were rich, and his body language was just right, making him very persuasive.

Inspired by him, the extras all got into character and shouted, "The old heavens are dead! The new heavens shall rise!"

"In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will befall the world!"

He indeed found his strengths.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Li Ming forgot to call out, "Cut!"

He opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word for a long while.

Feng Ting never expected that Lin Jianshen could portray such a feeling.

Nanfeng AI is truly amazing!

She turned to look at Li Ming, a hint of smugness in her eyes: "How was it, Director Li?"

Li Ming came to his senses: "I knew it. Once the experiential learning approach gets into character, the academic approach simply can't compare."

"Not to mention Gao Lingfeng, who's a big influencer."

He stood up and shouted at Gao Lingfeng, "Give the script you're holding to Lin Jianshen and hurry up. He'll be the third male lead from now on, and you'll be an extra."

"Watch how others act properly, and refine your performance!"

Gao Lingfeng was bewildered in the wind.

What's going on? He and Li Mingcai work for the same company!

Even our own people are being betrayed?

He was set up by capitalists!

The film was shot in just one week, and the post-production was also incredibly fast.

The production cycle for short dramas usually ranges from ten days to half a month.

Even at maximum efficiency, it still takes 3-4 days.

However, with the assistance of powerful AI, Zhuifeng Media completed the post-production in just two days.

Then it started streaming online.

According to Murphy's Law, there is always a possibility that things will turn out badly.

Ultimately, things will all turn out badly.

This movie still flopped.

Normally, if a film flops, it flops; you can just move on to the next one.

But Feng Ting is a meticulous female director, and she was somewhat unwilling to give up. She posted a promotional video in the crew group and tagged everyone.

Please help promote this on your respective social media platforms to attract as much traffic as possible.

Lin Jianshen clicked into his Douyin account.

There hasn't been any content posted there for a long time.

He forwarded Feng Ting's promotional materials.

After a while, everyone took screenshots and posted them in the group to prove that they had helped promote it.

People with high traffic are different; in just a short time, the female lead's screenshots have already received nearly 10,000 likes.

Lin Jianshen opened his Douyin account and took a look.

It has over fifty views, a dozen likes, and one comment.

The only message was written by Xu Yan: "Laifu asked me to say 'good luck' to him."

Well, at least there's a comment, something is better than nothing.
