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

Lin Jianshen passed the test on the first try.

Next up was the second male lead, who performed his routine before moving on to the judges' comments.

Following the script, the three judges shook their heads and sighed, "Not quite there yet, eliminated."

Then she praised the second male lead's dish, saying, "As expected of someone who has inherited the skills of a master, the skill in making this dish is truly profound."

The camera cuts to Lin Jianshen, who says to the second male lead, "Your cooking skills are truly amazing; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

Then turned and left.

The character needs to appear very lonely here, because the camera will give a close-up shot.

Lin Jianshen has mastered the performance techniques of the method acting school.

He recalled his feelings when he sent Xia Ting off to university one evening, and how he left the school alone.

The feeling of loneliness mixed with forced composure almost overflowed from the lens.

Deng Lin clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "I really can't believe he's a newcomer."

Feng Ting crossed her arms and laughed, "I've really struck gold!"

The show premiered on September 28.

Its high-quality cinematography, numerous exciting moments, and storyline that blends various old and new memes have allowed it to quickly gain popularity on short video platforms.

The popularity is rising very quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of comments flooded in.

"It's all a cover-up!"

"Hilarious! Even with special effects, it still can't compare to the original gameplay. Anyone can see the difference, right?"

"How could they possibly lose? Is the director blind?"

People's eyes are sharp.

Lin Jianshen's cooking skills and operational fluency far surpass those of the second male lead and the male lead.

Even though the second male lead and the male lead used body doubles and added special effects.

It's not that Master Wang is incompetent, but rather that everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

If Lin Jianshen were to cook Master Wang's signature dish, he would definitely not be able to outdo Master Wang.

This kind of person lost to the male lead and the second male lead in the drama. Isn't that a conspiracy?

A highly-rated comment floated across the screen: "Stupid director, can't you see such a huge bug?"

"If you ask me, this guy is so handsome, he should play the male lead, or at least the second male lead."

Unlike other companies, Chasing Wind Media takes a holiday during the National Day holiday.

Because there were no other work scheduled for the National Day holiday, on September 30th, the entire crew sat in the office and watched the show via screen projection.

Including director Deng Lin.

He stared at the comments scrolling across the screen, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

He slammed his hand on the table: "Where's the screenwriter? Is the screenwriter even here?"

A middle-aged man with thick glasses and thinning hair timidly raised his hand: "Director, I'm here."

Deng Lin pointed to the comments on the screen: "See? Over 10,000 likes."

The screenwriter cautiously said, "Director, this means our show is very popular, it means the audience is involved, it means it's a great success..."

The director said, "Stop talking nonsense, this is insulting me, can't you see that?"

The screenwriter shrank back slightly: "Next time we're doing a play like this, why don't you ask Teacher Lin to tone it down a bit?"

Deng Lin slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone in the office: "Next time? Next time my ass!"

He pointed at the screenwriter and said, "We'll start filming the second movie after National Day, so write me the script now."

"It was written that the third male lead should have won, but one of the judges took money from the second male lead, and the third male lead was unwilling to accept it, so he turned evil and made a comeback."

"It means that in the next movie, the third male lead will become the villain, and he'll become the second male lead."

The screenwriter was dumbfounded.

This director is toxic; he doesn't treat people like human beings at all.

However, to succeed in this industry, screenwriters either need to be producers or hold the copyright themselves; otherwise, they're not truly independent.

The director felt the setting was inappropriate and asked the screenwriter to revise the script; the actors felt their roles were not fitting and asked the screenwriter to revise the script.

The fact that it flopped in the end is because the scriptwriters weren't good enough.

After it became popular, it was because the director made it well and the actors performed well; it had little to do with the screenwriter.

The rest is just like that dog director, who makes the screenwriter come up with a script for the second movie within a week.

It was still during the National Day holiday.

The screenwriter said, sounding aggrieved, "Director Deng, isn't a week a bit rushed?"

Deng Lin reluctantly replied, "Then I'll give you the entire National Day holiday."

Damn, that's still a week!

It's as if he made a huge concession.

However, Deng Lin is a very assertive person.

The screenwriter didn't dare say anything more and could only give Lin Jianshen a resentful look.

Then he quietly got up and went back to his workstation to think about the beginning and develop his character.

The guy who was showing off was also looking at him with resentment.

The guy who was showing off joined the company at the same time as Lin Jianshen, but he watched as Lin Jianshen climbed the ranks faster and faster.

It hasn't been long, and he's already become the second male lead.

What terrifying speed!

He glanced down, gritted his teeth, and decided to give himself a tougher beating.

The number of likes on this comment kept increasing, and the director got too lazy to look at it anymore.

He took out his phone, opened the pre-sale box office page for the National Day holiday films, glanced at it, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

The film market has been in a very poor state in recent years. Judging from pre-sales, several big films are likely to flop.

Many film directors are already preparing to switch careers and make short dramas.

He immediately felt much better.

When it was time to leave work, Deng Lin waved his hand and said, "It's holiday time! Everyone go home and get some rest. In all my years in the industry, this is the first time I've encountered a media company that gives people a holiday for National Day."

Lin Jianshen got up and walked out, standing at the company entrance hailing a Didi (ride-hailing service).

Xia Tingwan also has a day off today. She said she wanted to bring some books back to read, and her suitcase was a bit heavy, so she asked him to help her pick it up.

Lin Jianshen didn't quite understand. It wasn't like she was going on a long trip; she could have just taken a taxi from the school gate.

But since his sister said that, he'll definitely go and pick her up obediently.

It's just that 6 pm is usually peak time for taking a taxi, especially on the last day before National Day.

Lin Jianshen hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service) and waited for a long time, but no one accepted the order.

He can use the Mercedes-Benz at Star Trail Bar whenever he wants, but neither Song Siyuan nor Liu Jun have gotten their driver's licenses yet.

He's still only the third male lead, so it's not appropriate for him to have a personal assistant.

The people at the Star Trail Bar are all Sun Jian's confidants, and he can command them effectively.

However, unless there are special circumstances, Lin Jianshen does not want to have too much contact with them.

He stared at his phone screen and waited.

Next to him, the show-off was also hailing a taxi.

While staring at the screen, he complained, "Actually, I didn't think being an extra was a big deal; the salary was enough to live on."

"But compared to you, I can't sleep at night."

"No, I really need to look up some tips and tricks to win over Director Feng."

Lin Jianshen asked, "Can you rotate your head clockwise and your tongue counterclockwise?"

The show-off tried it, his face contorted in frustration, and finally he gave up: "No, it's too hard, I can't do it."

Lin Jianshen patted him on the shoulder: "Look at you, even trying this? With an IQ like that, you think you can win over Director Feng?"

"Let's be down-to-earth."

The show-off sighed and looked down again.

The pretentious second brother had no idea that he had just been on the verge of life and death.

Lin Jianshen canceled the order and prepared to take the subway, even if it meant walking a bit further.

A black Zunjie S800 stopped in front of Lin Jianshen.

The rear window rolled down, revealing Zhong Ran's bright and beautiful face.

"Mr. Lin, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

If they delayed any longer, Xia Tingwan would probably get impatient, so Lin Jianshen didn't stand on ceremony.

He walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and got in: "Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a mocha sometime."

The show-off guy cried out in anguish, "Damn it, this is Zhong Ran... Why is she the only one getting this? I hate those modeling freaks."

His idea of ​​using technology to improve himself resurfaced.

Inside the car, Zhong Ran said with interest, "Oh? You know I like mocha?"

Lin Jianshen smiled and said, "Last time on the rooftop, when you were giving me pointers, there was a white label on the cup you were holding. It said 'Mocha'."

Zhong Ran smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is quite a thoughtful person. Where are you going?"

Lin Jianshen said, "Tunghai University."

The driver in front nodded and set the navigation.

Then the mufflers between the front and rear rows were turned on.

Just as Zhong Ran was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.

She said apologetically to Lin Jianshen, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Lin Jianshen turned over in his clothes; he had left in a hurry without his headphones on.

I had no choice but to turn on my phone screen to indicate that I was doing something else.
