Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

[Mainly male lead! The protagonist is a total Mary Sue, an all-around career-driven individual, and his early career-related activities are half-real and half-acted! Because the author doesn't like idols dating, the romance phase starts much later, after both the male and female leads have transitioned!]

The main contestant on the talent show will withdraw! They'll be given a pseudonym, and later there will be a narcissistic twist imagined by outsiders!

This is a collection of musical excerpts for your convenience in listening to the songs and getting into the story. The main character doesn't sing in the early episodes but will later. The film and television works are fictional creations by the author based on real-life events, so please don't take them too seriously!

It's been a while since I've used my brain, so let's use it!

……

Jiangxi Heng was holding a pen in his hand, staring blankly at everything in front of him.

The dim overhead light cast its glow on the snow-white paper, revealing a line of large characters:

[Agreement Regarding Pretending to be a Couple During Operation]

Signed by: Xie Xingyan/Jiangxi Heng.

That's his name.

It's his handwriting.

Even the angle of the final, slightly hooked stroke is exactly the same.

But Jiangxi Heng knew that he definitely didn't sign the agreement.

His memory was still stuck on the day he won the Grand Slam in film and television, when he was run over and killed on a bridge by a radical racist.

He seemed to hear some sounds before he died, but he couldn't remember them and didn't pay any attention to them.

It's just a pity that the golden trophy, which hadn't even been held in its warm embrace, fell into the river like a shooting star.

Before him was a room resembling a student dormitory, with four bunk beds and desks underneath. Strangely, only two of the beds showed signs of life. He was sitting under one of the beds, the desk was rather cramped, and his long legs were somewhat cramped.

"Is it signed?"

Jiangxi Heng turned around and saw a person standing quietly at the door. The person was tall and thin, and his tone was somewhat anxious and gloomy.

It was obvious that the other party was "keeping watch," or rather, that this shady agreement could not be seen by anyone other than the two of them.

In just a moment, another person's life memories flooded into Jiangxi Heng's mind.

Such bizarre things exist in the world.

He died, and then his body was reborn in another world.

This body is also called Jiangxi Heng, and he is 18 years old this year, younger than me... well, 17 years old.

He debuted as a child star, but his acting skills were short-lived. Because he did not join any company in the entertainment industry, he chose to work on his own. His company went bankrupt this year. Before the bankruptcy, he negotiated a talent show called "Cosmic Star-Making Camp". After being ridiculed online for many years, he did not consider that he was tone-deaf. As if he had grasped the last straw, he came to participate in the talent show.

"Cosmic Star-Making Camp" has reached its midpoint, the second round of competition has ended, and the second ranking has just been announced.

The original owner successfully established the title of "useless" by receiving an F in the initial stage evaluation, an F in the theme song assessment, an F in the first public performance, and an F in the second public performance. (First public performance: the contestant's first public performance)

If it weren't for her status as a "child star," which the production team felt would generate buzz and forced her into the 44th position, she would have been eliminated long ago based on her own merit.

The fans who stayed to support him were either mothers who had watched him grow up or fans who were simply attracted to his looks.

As for his inability to sing or dance, low emotional intelligence, and expressionless acting skills?

It's okay, we'll spoil you.

However, the pampered original owner had a premonition that she would most likely be eliminated in the next round of 44 to 22. Feeling lost and uneasy, she secretly took the phone she brought into the camp and looked at the comments about herself online. After reading this, she lost all her spirits.

I'm so depressed that I don't even want to go to my daily training.

It was at this moment that Xie Xingyan, who had been stuck in the top ten and was now ranked 11th, found him.

She said she wanted to collaborate with him to create a romantic pairing.

When it comes to creating on-screen couples, Jiangxi Heng, who is deeply rooted in the film and television industry, is naturally familiar with it, but rarely has any experience with it.

He grew up abroad and was spotted by a foreign talent scout because of his mixed-race appearance. He joined the world-famous Hollywood film studio. At first, he took any role in order to make money. He made a lot of bad movies in his early years. After being cheated by his agent, he decisively chose to return to China.

The reason he chose "return" instead of "go" is because Jiangxi Heng knew that his mother was Chinese, and because of this, he always had a deep-seated feeling of wanting to return to his roots in this country.

He remained a low-level actor, working his way up from extra to bit player, from supporting role to second lead, from TV lead to newcomer in film, gradually making his way back to the international stage.

Jiangxi Heng achieved a grand slam at the age of 35 after 17 years, winning the three major Chinese film awards, the three major European film festivals, and the Hollywood awards season.

Unbeknownst to him, he entered the industry at the age of 17, and the days he spent with his characters have surpassed the lonely and desolate times he once knew.

During this period, Jiangxi Heng only passively became a couple with other people.

After winning his first Chinese-language Best Actor award, actresses who worked with him would use vague and misleading language to misrepresent their relationship during the film's promotional period.

The fierce battles between CP fans and solo fans were a major annoyance to him.

It wasn't until he coldly and publicly stated that he was "always single" that those actors who wanted to use him to advance their careers became more discreet and kept a low profile.

Thinking of this, Jiangxi Heng frowned slightly and looked again at the paper pressed under his wrist.

"Rip—"

The sound of tearing paper rang out behind Xie Xingyan. He whirled around: "What are you doing?!"

The dim light fell on the face of the person in front of him. His long, beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye shone brightly under the light as his skin twitched.

A widow's peak, fox-like eyes, smiling lips, and a cool and aloof beauty.

This is Xie Xingyan, who proposed signing a CP (couple pairing) agreement with the original owner.

Jiangxi Heng stacked the paper that he had torn in half together.

"Rip—"

It was torn into even smaller pieces.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xie Xingyan's eyes. She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you don't agree to this agreement, just don't sign it. Why tear it up...?"

He knew that creating a romantic pairing was a sideline compared to winning against opponents through honest ability, and it could easily backfire, leading to being looked down upon by many.

But he had no other choice.

He was ranked outside the top ten in both rankings. He had been a trainee for five years and did not want to return to that cramped practice room after failing in this audition, singing and dancing day after day, only to receive a basic salary each month.

He wants to debut; he wants to make money.

Xie Xingyan had done his research. Among the top ten, not everyone was stronger than him. There were royal family members protected by the production team, pre-selected trainees sent by big companies, shields that the production team would eventually sacrifice, and groups that relied on creating selling points through CP hype from beginning to end.

He only needs to improve a little more to make it into the top 7 of the debut group.

He never felt that he was inferior to those seven people.

Xie Xingyan stood in front of the mirror in the practice room and thought for a whole hour. Finally, out of the 44 people who advanced this time, she selected Jiangxi Heng, who ranked 44th.

In Xie Xingyan's view, Jiangxi Heng is an "individual trainee" who can make certain decisions on his own. Moreover, the other party is also facing the crisis of being eliminated in the next round. If he successfully impresses her, he might be able to advance to the next round. Therefore, the possibility of him agreeing is very high.

Secondly, Jiangxi Heng's style is completely different from his, and there is no possibility that he will be threatened (given Jiangxi Heng's terrible skills, it is impossible for him to compete for a debut position).

If the other person is unfortunately eliminated during the process... then he will gladly accept the fans who ship the two of them.

After observing, Xie Xingyan noticed that Jiangxi Heng was also confused and uneasy, so he handed over the agreement.

As a result, the person who had just seemed to agree suddenly tore up the agreement the next second.

Xie Xingyan felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to leave with her lips pursed.

The next second, a deep, cold voice came from behind: "I didn't refuse." It was as cold and taciturn as ever, but something seemed to have changed.

A hint of doubt flashed through Xie Xingyan's mind, and she stopped in her tracks: "What exactly do you mean?"

After Jiangxi Heng slowly stood up, he realized that the body in question was not much shorter than himself, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is not the time to explore this.

He looked at Xie Xingyan, his dark eyes clear and calm, reflecting the rationality and composure typical of an adult.

"This kind of thing shouldn't leave such obvious evidence," Jiangxi Heng paused for a second, slowly handing the torn pieces of paper to Xie Xingyan, seemingly pondering something, before finally saying:

"I agreed to what you said. Heaven, earth, you, and I are the only ones who know."
