Run, Best Actor!

Liu Yuning's height is indeed real.

In later generations, he deliberately underreported his height, only saying that he was 1.9 meters tall.

But in reality, he's 190.5 centimeters tall without his shoes!

With shoes on, you have to be at least 1.93 meters tall!

With that height, it's no wonder that Ho Yun-tung, who always plays the role of the ultimate martial arts master in movies and TV dramas, has to look up at him when acting opposite him (Ho Yun-tung is 186 cm tall).

In movies and TV dramas, the phrase "a very long person" is indeed true.

Of course, although he's tall enough, he's still relatively thin.

Compared to Liu Taile, who has always maintained his physique, the two are really not that different.

He's only 2.5 centimeters taller than Liu Taile.

So he was deliberately trying to provoke the other person.

"Didn't you used to work as a waiter?"

Liu Taile tilted his head and asked, "Is this how you provide service? Didn't the diners want to tear your mouth apart?"

"No, because I usually work at a different restaurant after two days."

Liu Yuning said shamelessly, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey, then I'll be your stand-in. Do you have any kissing stand-ins?"

"No, you're just thinking about good things!"

Liu Taile replied irritably, "Alright, stop joking. Get familiar with the work these next couple of days. When you're not busy, you'll still be my assistant."

In a couple of days, I'll take you to Shanghai to act in that movie, *Tiny Times*.

"I know, I've finished reading the original work in the last few days."

As she spoke, Liu Yuning took out three books from her bag, namely Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times 1.0 Origami Era", "Tiny Times 2.0 Copper Era" and "Tiny Times 3.0 Gold Era".

It is worth noting that the book is a pirated copy.

"By the way, where did you find these books?"

Seeing this, Liu Taile asked with amusement, "Why is it still a pirated copy?"

"To be honest, I just don't want to contribute royalties to Guo Jingming."

Liu Yuning curled her lip and said, "Why should I buy his original books when he's a plagiarist who brazenly makes money off of his own malpractice?"

Why did you have to act in his movie?

"You can make money."

Liu Taile shrugged. "Especially for newcomers like us, do you know how difficult it is to find a project with an 80% chance of making money?"

Time travelers are not omnipotent. It doesn't mean that if you get a project that failed in the original timeline, you can achieve the same or even better results as in the original timeline.

In fact, the right timing, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable in this process.

Just like the movie "Lost in Thailand," if it had been released during a different Lunar New Year holiday, it probably wouldn't have achieved such a "terrifying"ly high box office.

It's because films like "Back to 1942," "The Last Supper," and "Life of Pi" were released one after another, each more tragic and bitter than the last.

Who wouldn't want to have a good time after a year of hard work, going to the movies at the end of the year to have fun?

As a result, one of these films depicts cannibalism in modern history, another in ancient history, and yet another directly portrays cannibalism...

After watching the movie, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time after getting home, constantly sighing, "Sigh, life..."

After watching several movies like this, a lot of resentment has accumulated.

Not to mention, there were later movies like "The Great Devil" and "The Guillotines," whose plots weren't as enjoyable.

They've all stirred up the audience's rebellious mentality.

Then came "Lost in Thailand," which completely abandoned the somber and dramatic tone of the original film and aimed solely at making people laugh.

With the outstanding comedic performances of Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo, the film's box office naturally soared.

Once the box office gains momentum and word-of-mouth spreads, the surge in box office revenue becomes completely unstoppable.

If all your friends and family have seen it, how can you resist watching it yourself?

We can't even talk about anything!

So this is an example of choosing a release date.

In terms of actual film quality, it's only slightly above average.

It can't compare to Ning Hao's two crazy film series at all.

"Newcomers to the industry, especially with their first feature film, usually have to learn from their mistakes and pay their dues. Now that there's an opportunity to make money, they naturally have to seize it."

Liu Taile said slowly, "What more could you want?"

"If that's what you say, then that makes sense."

Liu Yuning nodded knowingly, "But we also need to consider your future reputation and such."

Actually, I think the other party is probably willing to use you, someone from a different field, because they want to ride on your popularity.

"It's obvious."

Liu Taile shrugged. "Fortunately, I also wanted to make money from them, so it was a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"I understand now."

Liu Yuning meant well, fearing that her cousin would ruin the good reputation he had worked so hard to build.

Besides, he doesn't understand it very well, so he needs to learn more in the future.

"Hey, you're playing Gu Yuan?"

Liu Yuning then asked, "I think Gu Yuan's girlfriend is that Gu Li."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Liu Taile nodded.

"But isn't Yang Mi playing the female lead, Lin Xiao?"

Liu Yuning frowned slightly, "You went through so much trouble to get into the crew, only to watch the girl you were pursuing fall in love with someone else on set?"

So, what are you thinking? No, Ah Le, I feel like there's something wrong with you here!

As he spoke, he pointed to his head.

Upon hearing this, Liu Taile was speechless.

He's starting to regret it; was it a mistake to bring this guy into his team?

I never realized this guy was such a chatterbox before.

Oh, it seems like we've never spent so much time together "before".

Imagine this guy in the original timeline, even after he became famous, he would still go live and chat with his fans for half the night.

If you run into a hater, that's even better, because you can shut them up completely.

He is not afraid of attacks from haters at all, because his attack power is far greater than that of haters!

The case is solved! He's just an energetic chatterbox!

"Great, you have so much energy, you're a natural talent for this line of work."

Liu Taile couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question!"

Liu Yuning said somewhat discontentedly, "Shouldn't you give me an answer?"

"You'll understand this once we get to the film set."

Liu Taile said mysteriously.

"Tch... a riddle teller!"

Liu Yuning made a comment.

At this moment, a young woman with an ordinary face and a slightly plump figure walked into the house. "Brother Le."

"Sister Ting."

Liu Taile addressed the other person affectionately, then introduced them to each other, "Brother Ning, this is Guo Tingting, the CEO of my company."

"Sister Ting, this is my cousin, Liu Yuning. He'll also be an artist in our company in the future. For now, he'll be joining the crew with me and acting as my stunt double."

"Yes, I know all of that."

Guo Tingting smiled and nodded to Liu Taile, then extended her hand to Liu Yuning and said, "Hello, Yuning."

Liu Yuning quickly bowed slightly and respectfully shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, Mr. Guo, please take care of me in the future!"

"Yes, we'll be colleagues in the same company from now on, so let's look after each other."

Guo Tingting said generously, "Yu Ning, I know you and Brother Le are the same age, so you can just call me Sister Tingting."

Our company doesn't have many people right now, so please don't be too formal with how you address me.

"Okay, Sister Ting."

Liu Yuning nodded in agreement.

Guo Tingting then turned to Liu Taile and said, "Brother Le, before I came here I asked Director Guo about the progress. He said that the special effects team gave a one-month timeframe, so the short film 'The Thinker' is expected to be completed in November."

Should I warm it up first?

"A teaser?"

Liu Taile hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it a bit too early?"

The short film, which is scheduled to be released in November, had its trailer released in mid-September, which isn't actually that early.

However, Liu Taile was worried that the outside world would not be very accepting of his crossover, so he spoke out a bit too early.

"That's why I said it's a warm-up."

Guo Tingting laughed and said, "I was thinking of having Director Guo use behind-the-scenes footage from the short film to first cut out a video clip that is all Chopstick Brothers."

"Oh, I won't be appearing on camera initially?"

Liu Taile suddenly realized, "Let's use the fame of the Chopstick Brothers to promote this short film!"

"Yes."

Guo Tingting nodded, "At the same time, we'll use the recordings of your various competitions from the past few years, as well as the interviews after the accident, to make a video called 'Life After the Competition'."

"He's gradually letting the outside world know that I'm going to change careers."

Liu Taile immediately understood, "After that, in October, when the special effects are almost finished, we'll release another trailer featuring me and the Chopstick Brothers."

However, initially, we won't say I'm the lead actor; we'll focus more on the Chopstick Brothers and create the illusion that I'm just making a cameo appearance.

"Then in November, we'll confirm the release date for the short film, release the final trailer, and reveal that it contains science fiction elements!"

Guo Tingting was very satisfied with Liu Taile's quick response. "I expect a lot of people will pay attention to this short film, and with your almost legendary scene, I believe that everyone who has seen 'The Thinker' will agree that you've crossed over into a new field!"

Anyway, after seeing Liu Taile's acting performance, Guo Tingting is very confident about his future career in the entertainment industry.

He seems to be much stronger than Huang Da'an is now!
