How did I become famous?

"Hey buddy, how did you get in?"

Inside the police station, Fang Bie looked at the familiar face beside him, and his memory returned to yesterday.

That was on Monday morning.

Before Fang could even react, the company gave him a long, paid vacation.

It's rumored that a certain powerful figure surnamed Su directly acquired the game company where Fang Bie worked, and then gave him an indefinite leave of absence...

He originally planned to send Su Mulin to school, but Su Mulin calmly showed him the admission notices from various top universities.

Fang Bie was still in a daze when he was pulled onto a plane bound for Hengdian.

After getting off the plane, Su Mulin and Yan Shuangying went to rent a house, while Fang Bie wandered around.

He had only heard of Hengdian in his previous life, but he had never actually been there.

So, while he was wandering around aimlessly at night, a blond-haired man ran towards him.

There was a woman chasing after the blond-haired man.

Without a second thought, Fang launched a sneak attack and kicked the blond-haired man to the ground.

Then... he ended up in jail.

"Brother, I was truly acting bravely and righteously."

"Don't give me that! Do you think we, the people's police, would believe your nonsense!"

Outside the detention room, the policeman with melancholy eyes and stubble glared at him.

Fang Bie retreated dejectedly.

"Dude, how did you get in?"

Besides the blond man and Fang Bie, there was another man sitting in the detention cell.

This man looks a bit like the policeman outside.

"A righteous act of bravery." Fang Bie curled his lip.

"A hero's act? What did I do to you that you kicked me..." the blond-haired man muttered under his breath.

Fang Bie glared at him: "Then why did you run? Do you think I didn't see the woman chasing you?"

If you hadn't stolen something from someone, why would they chase you?

"I heard that 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' was recruiting extras, so I thought I'd give it a try," the blond-haired man sighed. "But now the opportunity is gone."

Fang Bie was taken aback: "Why is that woman chasing after you?"

"Being an extra isn't enough to support myself, so I opened a nail salon in Nanshi Street to make a living. That's my client. She had an appointment for a manicure yesterday, but with the opportunity to join the cast of 'The Prime Minister,' what's losing a client or two?"

"..."

A man opened a nail salon...

"Sorry, brother, I was wrong."

Fang sincerely apologized.

The blond-haired man's expression improved considerably: "Never mind, it's just my fate to suffer this calamity."

Only then did Fang Bie take a good look at him from head to toe.

blond hair, purple suit...

"May I ask how you address me, brother?"

"Oh, my name is Yoshikage Kira."

Kira Yoshikage......

Fang Bie smirked, "Brother, aren't you one of us?"

"I'm an extra from Japan who came to Hengdian to work as a child actor." Yoshikage Kira finally opened up. "A senior colleague brought me to Hengdian to play a Japanese soldier, but playing that role all the time isn't sustainable, so I wanted to challenge myself. And then..."

He sighed.

It's really difficult for a Japanese person to act in a TV series here, other than war dramas.

But Fang Bie felt that this guy's entry was not unjustified.

Who is Yoshikage Kira?

That was a deranged killer with a hand fetish!

However, this should just be Yoshikage Kira from a parallel universe, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

At least he didn't have a stand-in, [Killer Queen], otherwise he would have been dead already.

After Yoshikage Kira finished speaking, he looked up at Fang Bie and asked, "What's your name?"

"Fang as in 'square' and Bie as in 'separation'." Fang Bie stretched out his hand. "Actually, I'm a director."

"Director?" Yoshikage Kira shook hands with him, then asked with a hint of doubt, "I wonder what films Director Fang has directed?"

This is Hengdian, where there are at least 300 to 500 people claiming to be directors.

A male director had tried to sexually harass him before, and if he hadn't found out that the old duck was an animation director, he almost would have given in.

That's why he fell out with his seniors, and from then on he could only continue playing minor roles, and even the opportunities to play minor roles began to decrease.

There was no way around it; both the old duck and a somewhat well-known war film director here were from Hong Kong.

His senior colleague was also just trying to make a living by working for that director.

"It's also a film about the War of Resistance against Japan." Fang Bie smiled warmly. "We could collaborate sometime."

Although what he actually wanted to film was a heavily modified version of "Yan Shuangying"...

"Hello!" Yoshikage Kira stood up, took out a business card from his purple suit, bowed slightly, and handed it to him with both hands. "This is my business card. If you need anything, Director Fang, you can come find me. My nail salon is on Nanshi Street."

"Why are you taking this so seriously..." Fang Bie took the business card and casually stuffed it into his pocket: "If there's an opportunity."

At this moment, the man who had been silent all along smiled.

"I never expected that one of you is an actor and the other is a director. It's really rare to see you two at the police station. In the past, directors and actors who went to the station were usually arrested because of their girlfriends or smoking. It's really rare to see someone who did something heroic."

Fang raised an eyebrow: "What's your name, sir?"

Why does this person look so familiar?

"I am Ip Man."

"..."

It really is Ip Man from "The Grandmaster"! No wonder he looks familiar.

Fang Bie took a deep breath: "Brother Ye, what brought you in?"

"Sigh, it's embarrassing to admit," Ip Man smiled shyly, "There was this professional martial arts expert online who exposed fake traditional martial arts, right? He hired all sorts of grotesque actors to help him with his publicity stunts. I wasn't convinced, so I went to his place to challenge him to a fight. Then he called the police and had me brought in."

"That's because you broke three of their ribs with one kick!"

The policeman with the melancholy look and stubble walked in carrying a steaming bowl of instant noodles and opened the door to the detention cell.

"Fang Bie, someone's here to pick you up."

Fang Bie stood up, nodded to the two men, and prepared to leave.

"Director Fang!" Yoshikage Kira called out to him.

Seeing Fang Bie turn around, Kira Yoshikage looked somewhat nervous: "Um...that..."

He gave a fawning smile: "When will your film start shooting?"

Fang Bie shrugged: "There's no script, the budget is insufficient, and we don't have any actors yet."

"..."

Fang left, leaving only a dumbfounded Yoshikage Kira, who continued to be in a state of confusion in the detention cell.

............

In the main hall of the police station, upon seeing Fang Bie emerge, Su Mulin stood there with her arms crossed, her face frosty: "I haven't been watching you for half an hour, and you're already causing trouble?"

Fang Bie laughed and ruffled her long, straight black hair: "Why are you pretending to be mature, you little kid? I was just doing a good deed."

The coldness that Su Mulin had been maintaining on his face instantly crumbled.

She looked helpless: "I know talented people like you are often quite unconventional, but can you please stop being so self-centered?"

Just as Fang was about to say a few more words, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

He knew without turning around that "Brain Warning" was right behind him, watching him.

So he chickened out: "Sorry, it was my fault."

"That's not what I meant," Su Mulin sighed. "It's good to be a hero, but you also need to be careful. Luckily, it was a false alarm this time. What if that person really was a robber? What if he was carrying a knife?"

Fang Bie also felt a headache coming on: "Is it that serious?"

Su Mulin's expression softened: "I know you feel like you're all alone, that as long as you're fed, the rest of the family won't go hungry. But you can't treat yourself like this."

Fang Bie: "..."

I really didn't have that thought, Miss. Can you please not be so dramatic?

"Okay, you're right. Sorry, it won't happen again."

"Okay." Su Mulin nodded. "Just remember that."

She glanced at her watch and said, "Let's go. After breakfast, let's take a look around our new company. Afterward, I'll take you to the set of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."

"What are you going there for?"

"When I submitted the song, I used my connections to get me directly into the final selection round."

"It's not really appropriate to use connections..."

"Anyway, my brother is the presiding judge, so he'll be even stricter with me. You'll see when you get there."

However, she is confident in her other songs.

Those four pieces are already quite good, not to mention that there's also "The Song of the Pipa" as a foundation.

You should know that her brother is one of the top lyricists in the country.

"Alright."

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Yan Shuangying smiled at the policeman and said, "Well then, Xiao Chen, we'll head over now."

Fang Bie looked puzzled: "Brother Yan, is he someone we know?"

The policeman laughed: "Brother Yan is my senior, we graduated from the same place."

One policeman, one bodyguard.

It's possible they came from the same place.

"Police academy?"

"Beijing Film Academy".

"..."

One policeman, one bodyguard.

So here's the question.

Why are you two graduates of a film academy?

You guys aren't playing football in La Masia.

Seeing Fang Bie's expression, the policeman explained, "I entered the system through a proper exam after graduation. After all, there aren't many career paths after graduating from film academy. This job is at least stable. My mentor used to be a high school physics teacher."

"Alright, let's exchange contact information. We can chat again sometime." Seeing that the young lady was getting impatient, Fang Bie ended the conversation.

"Okay." The policeman shook hands with Fang Bie. "I'm the local policeman for this area of ​​Hengdian. Just look for me if you need anything."

Fang Bie nodded: "What should I call you?"

"Chen Yongren".

"..."

No wonder I thought this policeman looked like the guy who beat people up inside.
