Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Shanghai Theatre Academy, 07.

The sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh.

During the registration period for new students, the entrance of the Huashan Road campus was bustling with people.

"I'm back!"

The fatigue from the 40-hour train ride vanished completely. Shen Can stood at the school gate, carrying a heavy backpack and dragging his suitcase, feeling incredibly fortunate.

He was glad he hadn't been reborn on the day of the college entrance exam. Who could guarantee that he would score higher than his hardworking self after transmigrating? After all, he had more than just 139 points to aim for.

After feeling fortunate, Shen Can reminisced about the four years he spent studying here.

It has been 14 years since I graduated from university.

That year, I was young, still a virgin, without a beer belly, without kidney stones, and I didn't have back pain when I sat down. I was very healthy.

Pan, Lu, Deng, Xiao, Xian – all of them have the same surname except for "Deng".

"Look, another handsome guy has arrived. The quality of freshmen in the performing arts department is really high this year."

"He dresses simply, but with a little dressing up, he should be no worse than Ren Quan, Shen Xiaohai, Yuan Hong, or Hu Ge."

"Our Shanghai Theatre Academy has always produced handsome men."

"..."

He could faintly hear people whispering, and countless eyes fell on Shen Can. Shen Can smiled slightly, feeling even more nostalgic.

He encountered the same scene when he started school that year, but at that time, because he came from a rural area and suddenly came to a big city from a small town, he inevitably felt somewhat inferior and lacked confidence...

He now possesses a serene composure born from experience.

Shen Can had long understood a principle.

Being born into poverty is not a disgrace; a true man is one who can bend and stretch.

Dragging my suitcase, I entered the campus and made my way to the freshman registration area.

"Excuse me, the registration area for the Performing Arts Department is a little further ahead," a girl with a pure and innocent look, fair skin, and wearing a purple dress kindly reminded me.

Her soft, sweet voice and gentle, Wu dialect accent reminded Shen Can of the deep affection he once shared with her.

But why did they eventually break up?

forget.

Having seen so much, how could I possibly remember so much?

I vaguely remember her name, it seems to be Wu Wei.

The way she stares at people while eating is the most captivating thing about her.

"That's right, I applied to the Department of Dramatic Literature."

Shen Can smiled brightly.

"Such a beautiful face, and you're a drama major?" Wu Wei's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Um."

Shen Can nodded.

Not surprising at all.

During his art college entrance exam, the examiner said the same thing and looked at him with pity for a long time.

The so-called Department of Dramatic Literature is actually the Department of Dramatic and Film Literature.

To put it bluntly, the career paths for this major are screenwriters, program planners, copywriters, film critics, etc.—it's all about making a living with your pen.

But Shen Can was born with a desire to engage in literary creation, and his idol was Ji Xianlin.

In his youth, Ji Xianlin wrote the following in his diary: "Today I read an old novel, 'The Stone Nods,' a short story. The descriptions weren't particularly obscene, but for some reason, it aroused my sexual desire. I have no other hope in this life; I only hope to have more sex..."

—To express one's true feelings directly.

"Let's get acquainted. My name is Wu Wei, and I'm also a freshman in the Department of Dramatic Literature." Wu Wei extended her hand generously.

"Shen Can".

……

After finishing the report, Shen Can, Wu Wei, and her parents walked towards the dormitory building together.

"Didn't your parents come with you?" Wu Wei asked curiously.

"The rice harvest is coming soon, and they can't leave," Shen Can said.

"From the countryside?" Wu Wei's father asked casually.

"Yes, Tuqiao Town, Tongliang, a mountain town."

Actually, my family and Tian Xiwei's family are neighbors.

However, at this time, Xiaotian was just a ten-year-old girl who was still in elementary school.

"You're very talented to have been admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy from such a small place," Wu Wei's mother said with a gentle smile.

"Not bad," Shen Can said without being modest.

To be honest, she is truly outstanding.

Then his expression turned strange. He remembered that the main reason Wu Wei broke up with him was because her parents looked down on him for being poor, not being a good match for him, and thinking that good looks couldn't put food on the table.

Therefore, they opposed his relationship with Wu Wei.

From the parents' perspective, this idea is not wrong.

They had finally raised an outstanding daughter, perhaps their most successful investment of their lives, their blue-chip stock. And what happened? They were about to be trapped by a highly risky retail investor.

Put yourself in their shoes; if you were a parent in that situation, you wouldn't want to be in that situation either.

But when Shen Can himself plays the role of a poor boy, he feels very uncomfortable.

"The past is like smoke, why think so much? In this life, let's live a different way," Shen Can thought to himself.

A short while later, the group arrived at the dormitory building.

The Shanghai Theatre Academy's Huashan Road campus actually only has one dormitory building, with separate floors for male and female students, totaling 18 floors. It is divided into three types of rooms: four-person, five-person, and six-person rooms, which are randomly assigned, and the price varies depending on the room type.

Only four-person rooms have a private bathroom and a balcony.

Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, and Du Jiang stayed in a four-person room, as did Zhao Ji, Hai Lu, and Li Jinming.

Shen Can was quite lucky; he was also in a four-person room, and the dormitory number was the same as in his previous life. If nothing unexpected happened, his roommates should still be the same three.

……

A busy day passed quickly.

At 8 p.m., Shen Can was alone in his dormitory.

The other three roommates said they went out for a big meal to strengthen their friendship.

Shen Can was also invited, but he didn't go; he had more important things to do.

--progress.

At this very moment, the Qidian website is open on the screen of my newly purchased Hasee Tianyun F700C laptop.

After thinking for a while, Shen Can chose a pen name for himself as an author – "Lin Yuan".

"It's better to weave a net than to stand by the water and envy the fish," he said, a saying he really liked.

After filling in the detailed information, Shen Can began to create a new urban entertainment novel – "The All-Round Artist".

[Introduction:]

After being sidelined for two and a half years, Lin Yu finally managed to terminate her contract with her agency.

The entertainment industry is a magical place. In just two and a half years, his ex-girlfriend has become a superstar, and his former apprentice who used to follow him around and call him "master" has become a popular actress, known as the "flower of wealth and honor".

Lin Yu longs to reappear on screen, but unfortunately no entertainment company is willing to open its doors to him.

"I Am a Singer" is a music variety show with nationwide participation. In order to return to the entertainment industry, Lin Yu resolutely chose to participate in the audition for this show.

At the same time, Lin Yu activated a system called [Entertainment God].

The system contains all the cultural and entertainment works on Earth.

Songs, movies, novels, plays, animation, calligraphy... After many years, Lin Yu finally became an all-around artist.

"You ask me what else I can do? I can only tell you, I know a little bit about everything, a tiny bit of everything." Lin Yu said very sincerely.

Shen Can typed very fast, with almost no writer's block.

In this era, writing novels on Qidian is not a difficult thing at all. As long as there is substance to the story, you can earn some money.

With fewer books available, readers are not picky and have nothing to choose from.

If the writing is fluent, packed with exciting moments, highly immersive, and touches on certain themes... you'll earn even more.

Shen Can thought that having hands would suffice.

In his previous life, after graduating, he worked as a ghostwriter in Shanghai for several years. Later, when he couldn't make a living in the industry, he returned to his hometown and switched to writing online novels.

It just so happened to coincide with the boom period of online literature.

Over the past ten years, Shen Can has achieved financial freedom, though he may not be extremely wealthy.

In this lifetime, he wants to earn more.

Besides, he also has cheat codes.

With a slight thought, a high-tech, light blue virtual screen appeared before Shen Can's eyes.

Name: Shen Can

Age: 19

[Currently linked novel: The All-Round Artist]

[Current popularity points: 0]

[Number of works available for redemption: 0]

[Exchangeable Abilities: 0]

[Exchangeable Talents: 0]

This is Shen Can's system.

His works, abilities, and talents in the novel can all be redeemed with popularity points, and the acquisition of popularity points is positively correlated with the number of readers, but it is limited to the entertainment field.

Shen Can raised an eyebrow slightly:

"When I wrote novels in 07, I don't think any readers commented in the book review section, 'Have you ever been a celebrity? You're just making things up for yourself by writing entertainment articles!'"

Thinking of this, Shen Can felt refreshed.
