How did I become famous?

Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren are good friends and classmates from the same school.

Speaking of which, Yan Shuangying graduated from the same school as the other two, except that Yan Shuangying was a few years ahead of them, while Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming were roommates.

After graduation, they both took the civil service exam and became police officers.

However, Lau Kin-ming quit after three years to pursue a career in the film industry, while Chan Wing-yan worked three consecutive three-year periods...

He originally had no intention of resigning, because the two of them often went out together, and he had seen all the hardships Liu Jianming had endured.

It's been six years, and he's still just a nobody actor. Not even a third-tier star.

This instilled a sense of fear in Chen Yongren. Even someone as handsome as Liu Jianming had become famous, so could he do it?

This is actually why Liu Jianming didn't say much.

He originally had a chance to become famous, but he offended the company's top female executive, so he was sidelined by the company.

A handsome young actor versus the company's top female star—anyone could tell which to choose.

When Chen Yongren called him this time, he initially thought it was just a lucky coincidence.

Fang Bie's first movie was a huge hit, but it still lacked a certain depth.

Moreover, he heard that Fang Bie had a good relationship with Director Zhang, and the leading lady he offended should also have a good relationship with Fang Bie—that's right, the leading lady he offended was the domestic film queen Yang Yu.

However, he also knew that Fang Bie hadn't mingled with the big shots in the domestic film and television industry because he hadn't formally joined any factions and was still young, so he wanted to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, he landed a leading role as soon as he arrived.

So even if he wasn't in any of the earlier scenes, he followed the whole thing, and even when it came to carrying equipment or doing odd jobs, he was very tactful and offered his help.

His agent taught him all of this. He used to offend people because he was tactless, and he couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

In fact, he took this role even more seriously than Chen Yongren and the others.

Yoshikage Kira and Chen Yongren each wrote tens of thousands of words of character biographies.

He went even further, writing a total of 100,000 words.

He started writing about Kira's childhood, based on his own interpretation, and continued until he underwent plastic surgery.

He even wrote a lot about his mindset after having plastic surgery.

He was originally quite confident in his acting skills, but after seeing Kira Yoshikage and Chen Yongren after Fang Bie's guidance, he lost his confidence.

And today, it's finally his turn to act.

He started to become anxious and insecure...

"Card!"

It was Liu Mang again, holding a megaphone.

With a dark expression, he beckoned Liu Jianming over: "Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you? You were doing quite well during the audition, weren't you?"

Today's scene is between Lau Kin-ming and Chan Wing-yan.

This scene depicts Kira having just undergone plastic surgery. After learning that Kira had died in a car accident, Chen Qing does not believe he is dead and goes to the hospital to look for clues. The two pass each other by, and Chen Qing suddenly turns around with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Liu Jianming felt there was nothing wrong, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only apologize: "Director Liu, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful."

"Okay." Liu Mang's expression softened slightly, and he raised the megaphone, saying, "One more time!"

Filming resumed.

Chen Yongren walked quickly, his face filled with anxiety.

Suddenly, he brushed past someone.

Chen Yongren took two steps forward, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned around abruptly.

The doctor and patients were so numerous that the man's figure was long gone.

He shook his head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and continued walking forward.

The camera then switched to a close-up of Liu Jianming walking forward.

His lips curled slightly upward, revealing a smile that was hard to tell whether it was sarcastic or smug.

"Card!"

Liu Mang called for a stop, then said with a dark face, "Let's do it again."

Liu Jianming looked blank; he felt there was nothing wrong with his acting...

At this moment, Fang, who was watching from the side, laughed.

He patted Liu Mang on the shoulder: "You're just too impatient. Sometimes if you don't explain things clearly, how are people supposed to know how to act?"

He stepped forward, looked at the bewildered Liu Jianming, and said calmly, "Do you know what your problem is?"

Liu Jianming shook his head.

Fang Bie analyzed for him: "Our movie features superpowers, and Kira knows what Chen Qing's Stand ability is, so he absolutely cannot smile. What you're doing is completely unnecessary. Just walk forward like a normal stranger, without any unnecessary expressions on your face."

What are their abilities?

Actually, it's all related to their experiences.

The fire twenty years ago changed his life, so he wants to go back in time and hope to change the outcome.

At the very least, he shouldn't be the only one to take the blame.

Therefore, his ability is time reversal.

Whenever he kills someone, he returns to an hour earlier, and when the time comes for that person to die, that person dies instantly in the manner of being killed.

This is also why Chen Qing couldn't find much evidence at the scene.

However, Kira still left a loophole, because he would go to the scene to take the victim's arm.

And Chen Qing... no, it should be his younger brother Chen Qing's ability is to stop time.

He was originally an excellent student who studied hard.

After graduation, he would find a job he liked, but the devastating news of his family being murdered ten years ago also changed his life.

He wished time could stop before that devastating news.

So his ability is to pause for five seconds.

His brother, Chen Qing, always lived between black and white. He knew what kind of person he was in the past, but he also wanted to live in the light.

Therefore, Chen Qing's ability is replacement.

Just like changing discs on a DVD player, he can replace his own and others' sense of existence.

Before he died, he replaced his own and his brother's sense of presence.

This is also why, even though Chen Qing is two years younger than his brother, he used his brother's identity without anyone noticing.

Apart from Kira, who is also an ability user, he had already deciphered Chen Qing's ability because of his deep-seated obsession. That's how he found out who this living "Chen Qing" really was.

Given Chen Qing's personality, he would have paused to look at the stranger's face if he had suddenly sensed something.

Therefore, Liu Jianming cannot have any extra expressions.

Since there were no superpower movies like this before, let alone superpowers like time-stopping, Lau Kin-ming followed the usual movie formula and acted as if it were a regular movie.

This can lead to bugs appearing in the final cut after special effects are added.

That's why Liu Mang was dissatisfied.

He just felt that since superpowers were already written in the script, the actors themselves should understand that.

This is a case of being blinded by a leaf.

Fang Bie, being a time traveler, knew that similar superpower movies in his previous life were riddled with plot holes, so he understood that this was a matter of perception.

After listening to his words, Liu Jianming suddenly understood.

"Director, can we do one more take? I'm sure I can get it this time!"

So filming continued.

This time, Lau Kin-ming and Chan Wing-yan actually changed the plot without authorization.

The classic scene from Fang Bie's memory appeared in this heavily modified film...

P.S.: I dreamt of a martial arts plot idea, and upon waking, I rushed to write it down. But when I opened my writing software, I remembered I'm now a writer, and fighting and killing are a distant memory, so I gave up.
