I'm really good at this.

Lin Chuan closed the script, his eyes filled with question marks.

？ _?

He carefully recalled the scripts he had read before, and then flipped through the script in his hand.

Is this the same story?

Why do they seem like completely different things?

Could it be that Brother Hong knew his purpose from the beginning, and that's why he was deceiving him when he first showed him the script?

No wonder he's always been the "perfect child" since childhood! His cunning is unfathomable!

Moreover, Lin Chuan thought of a deeper hidden thread behind this script!

Because he had been on the film set before, and had also met Wang Ye's grandparents with Zhang Hong.

It's that elderly couple.

According to Brother Hong's plan, they are playing the male and female leads in their old age!

So here's the question.

In the modern future, the female protagonist dies in the protagonist's arms, still looking young.

Then the male protagonist awakens his past life memories and gains a set of martial arts skills, allowing him to travel back thousands of years.

So here's the question.

If this vicious cycle continues, neither of them will ever grow old, nor will they ever appear thousands of years ago!

So... that's the hidden story behind it!

When I was studying at USC, a professor who would threaten to pull out a gun and shoot me at the slightest disagreement told me about a similar case.

That is, how to increase the topicality of the work and maintain that topicality as much as possible.

One of these points is to leave a point that allows audiences, critics, and the media to debate and speculate, even if your work is doing well.

This point is ambiguous, but if you ask the director and screenwriter, they will either remain silent, give vague answers, or say that everyone is right.

Only by keeping everyone discussing it endlessly can we maintain maximum interest.

Then, until the day the hype dies down.

However, when someone does a review in the future, this show will be brought up again and again as a classic and talked about countless times.

The more Lin Chuan thought about it, the more cold sweat poured down his forehead.

In the end, he was trembling all over, and even pulled a cigar out of his pocket with shaky hands, and lit it with a cigar cutter.

The image of Zhang Hong's handsome, kind, and virtuous face flashed into his mind.

"Brother Hong, was this all part of your plan?"

He couldn't sit still any longer: "No! We have to tell Dad about this!"

Although Hong Ge's script was completely out of format, the story itself was indeed a good one! And the hidden scheming and cunning behind it made him feel like a blank sheet of paper!

No, it's not even a blank sheet of paper!

He's at most pulp.

But when he opened the door, his feet felt as if they were being pressed down by a mountain, firmly nailed to the ground.

"Where are you going?" The person outside the door was Lin Muqing.

She was holding an apple in her hand.

The apple itself didn't scare Lin Chuan, but the fruit knife he was using to peel it was quite frightening.

Seeing her good-for-nothing brother secretly eyeing the apple in her hand, Lin Muqing calmly took a bite before saying, "I have to thank you for your suggestion. Now the crew can eat fresh fruit every day."

The attempt to backstab failed and his wounds were reopened, but Lin Chuan still dared not be angry or speak out.

Although he knew his younger sister would never stab him, the sight of the gleaming fruit knife waving in front of him still frightened him.

This isn't cowardice; it's an instinct deeply ingrained in the species' genes.

When people are killed, they die.

Everyone is afraid.

So he gave a fawning smile and said, "I just need to go to the restroom."

"Are you going to take the script with you to the toilet? Do you intend to use it as toilet paper, or are you planning to read through the script while you're constipated so you can feel better?" Lin Muqing asked with a smile and a calm voice.

"To be honest, although you might not believe me, my dear little sister, I really did plan to read this script to relieve my constipation and make myself feel better." Lin Chuan lied with a straight face, even giving a thumbs up, "Brother Hong's script is great!"

"Flattery won't work, go back." Lin Muqing ruthlessly cut off her brother's plan to send intelligence.

Lin Chuan sighed; he had given up.

Whatever.

It's just the character "林" written upside down.

If you turn it upside down, it's still "林" (Lin).

It's about that thing about going to Africa to eat sand... Dad wouldn't be that ruthless... would he?

Just then, the phone rang out behind Lin Chuan like heavenly music.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Lin Chuan turned around abruptly, his face beaming with excitement: "Sis! It's Dad calling! I specially set up caller ID! Give me the phone, and I'll definitely be obedient! I don't think I'll say anything I shouldn't!"

Lin Muqing simply walked into the house with a smirk, gave Lin Chuan a mocking sneer, and then took out her phone and opened an audio player.

At the same time, she answered Lin Chuan's phone, put it on speakerphone, and placed it on the table.

She then looked at Lin Chuan with a mocking expression, holding her phone in her left hand while skillfully manipulating the fruit knife in her right hand like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

Lin Chuan didn't dare to breathe.

This is a threat, isn't it? This is definitely a threat!

After the call connected, the deep baritone voice of the two men's father, Lin Cai, came from the other end: "Feed."

Lin Muqing casually clicked on an audio file: "Hello, Dad, what's up?"

This is Lin Chuan's voice; it's the audio he recorded that day when his younger sister forced him to.

Lin Cai on the other side clearly didn't notice anything amiss.

He said in a relaxed tone, "Your old man has taken care of everything over there. As long as you don't lie to me, then this matter is considered settled."

Lin Muqing clicked on another audio message: "Everything is under control."

Lin Cai: "It's good that everything is under control. By the way, haven't Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qing noticed anything yet?"

Lin Muqing glanced at Lin Chuan, who was trembling and sweating profusely but dared not even breathe, and then opened a new audio file: "No, everything is under control."

"How come you have everything under control again? But that's good. I have to keep my promises. I really can't let Xiao Zhang ruin this film." Lin Cai, oblivious to everything, said, "By the way, how's the other thing going? It's about getting your sister and Xiao Zhang together."

Lin Muqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

She looked at Lin Chuan with a puzzled expression. Lin Chuan was not only sweating profusely and trembling, but his face had also turned as pale as paper.

Why aren't you saying anything?

When he didn't receive a reply, Lin Cai asked a question.

Lin Muqing's ears slowly flushed red. She hesitated for a moment, then clicked on an audio message: "Everything is under control."

Lin Cai sensed something was wrong: "How come it's all under control again?"

Lin Muqing calmly opened a new audio file: "Dad, I love you!"

"..." After a long silence, Lin Cai's affected voice came through, "You child... how old are you and still saying things like that? Aren't you ashamed! Next time you come back, remember to bring your old man a pack of good cigarettes! And remember not to let your mother find out!"

"Hmm, Dad, what's the next step?" Lin Muqing continued to show off his skills.

"Next step? We already have a plan, you just need to cooperate," Lin Cai said with a smile. "Since, as you say, Xiao Zhang has already poured all his money into the first few episodes, then we'll promote his show heavily and advertise it extensively! The more extravagant the better! That way, once people get used to the first few episodes, they'll feel a huge sense of disappointment when they see the later episodes with less budget! How can his show possibly have a good reputation then?"

Lin Muqing smiled slightly and clicked on the last audio message: "Then I'm relieved."

"Okay, be careful to stay hidden. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qing are both smart people, so you must not give yourself away and get discovered!" Lin Cai hung up the phone.

Lin Muqing took her older brother's phone and casually sent a message to her mother: "Mom, Dad asked me to buy him cigarettes."

Then she turned off her phone, looked up at her older brother, and gave him a warm smile: "Don't you need to explain to me about that thing where you tried to match me up with Zhang Hong?"

Lin Chuan's face was ashen.

He knew he was finished.

P.S.: I went out for dinner for a classmate's birthday and just got home. I'm posting the first chapter now, and the second chapter will be available a few hours later when you wake up.
