Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Jiangxi Heng's thanks left Xie Xingyan somewhat at a loss.

Ever since he received the first A grade on his initial stage performance and was subsequently recognized by the show as someone on par with Gu Zhoubai in terms of ability, many people have flocked to him, some to ask for advice, some to try and get screen time, and some to make friends...

But no "thank you" had ever made Xie Xingyan feel so uncomfortable.

They clearly agreed it was just a pretense of creating a romantic pairing, so why are they taking it so seriously?

"It's nothing. If you want to practice more, I'll be in Class B every night at this time. You can come and ask me any questions you have."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Xie Xingyan pursed her lips and used the act of drinking water to avoid the other person's gaze.

Jiangxi Heng stared straight at Xie Xingyan. After a few seconds, he finished the remaining half bottle of water, raised his lips, and said, "Okay, get some rest tonight."

The tightly screwed-on plastic bottle was casually tossed into the trash can in the corner by its owner, a distance of three to five meters, without the man even glancing over there.

Xie Xingyan's eyes widened. After the figure disappeared, she couldn't contain herself and ran a few steps to the trash can, which was less than two hands wide. There she saw the crushed bottle lying obediently at the bottom of the trash can.

"How could this be...?"

He looked down at the bottle in his hand, tilted his head back, gulped down the rest of the drink, and returned to the spot where Jiangxi Heng had left.

fling.

"Ah... I knew I couldn't throw it in."

Her beautiful face was full of disappointment.

……

Control room.

"Pfft!" Wang Tengteng couldn't help but chuckle, turning to ask Cai Fu:

"Brother Cai, should we include this scene in the cut? I think Jiangxi Heng is the star of tonight's show. First, he made that idol drama-like entrance at the stairwell, then that breathtaking laugh in the G class practice room, and his interaction with Xie Xingyan... I think their interaction is kind of interesting... and that last shot was just amazing!"

A glint of light flashed in Cai Fu's eyes: "I think it's interesting too. Cut it in, cut it all in!"

Every night before the lights in Class B are turned off, Xie Xingyan would say to each camera, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers. Goodnight."

Cai Fu pondered for a second and said, "Show some footage of Xie Xingyan practicing on his own, demonstrating his rigorous and serious attitude, then cut it together with what he just said to create a contrast..."

Why do some contestants, despite lacking skill and appearance, still leave a deep impression on the audience?

Because these contestants will form connections with many other contestants and will have their own growth storyline.

Conflict and contradiction are what audiences love to see.

With five out of seven spots already filled by the production team, the remaining two spots are highly competitive.

Cai Fu previously thought Xie Xingyan had no chance—he had never even made it into the top ten!

So what if you're talented? Talent isn't everything in the entertainment industry! So what if you're good-looking? Every year, countless young and handsome men are revealed!

These are all pluses, but not guarantees of victory.

Xie Xingyan is missing something.

The kind of story that made him famous.

He's not some two-dimensional character from a 2D novel, someone who can win readers' hearts just by standing there; he's a star who wants to be an idol. Without a compelling backstory that evokes love, affection, and pity from fans, who would follow him for long?

Cai Fu never expected that tonight he would not only see a different Jiangxi Heng, but also a different Xie Xingyan.

Although it was only a little bit, he couldn't help but savor it for a long time.

Wow, this is such a good quality product!

Never mind, let's hurry up and send the footage over, and then talk to the editing team about how to edit it!

……

Death, rebirth, binding with the system, getting acquainted with a new body and a new world—for Jiangxi Heng, a thrilling day had come to an end.

When I opened my eyes again, it was six o'clock in the morning.

Chi Ziyou was still fast asleep. Jiangxi Heng got up quietly, washed up, and went to the gym for an hour. Perhaps because of this time, even if the contestants got up, they would go to the fifth floor for breakfast. Jiangxi Heng did not run into anyone on the fourth floor.

Unable to bear seeing Jiangxi Heng "torturing" his own body like this, 4399 pitifully asked, "Host, don't your muscles hurt?"

Jiangxi Heng paused, his hand still holding breakfast, but his expression remained normal: "It'll be fine in a while."

The original owner did not exercise often, so this body is quite weak.

It's natural to feel pain after exercising.

4399 paused for a second, then his momentum returned: 【No way, I can't let my host be in pain for so long! I'm going to ask my best buddy for some ointment!】

"..."

Before Jiangxi Heng could stop it, 4399 vanished in a flash.

After he finished his breakfast, 4399 returned.

[Host, I'm back! I've placed this pill in your hand. After you take it, your body's metabolism, recovery, and regeneration will accelerate tenfold for the next month! However, there are side effects. During this period, your muscles may experience muscle spasms for about a minute at night, similar to growing pains.]

Jiangxi Heng looked at the pill that had quietly appeared in his palm, swallowed it, and asked, "You still have a good buddy?"

4399 is awesome: 【Of course!】

Is the number bigger or smaller than you?

4399 chatted privately with Jiangxi Heng, saying a lot of irrelevant nonsense. One of the things they said was that the systems that were born before them had smaller numbers, and the systems that were born after them had larger numbers. They also said that they were a baby system, even though they had only been born for a short time.

4399 denied it, saying: "No, my best buddy is an outside helper invited by the main universe. It's not a numerical name, it's called Mimi. We're close friends despite our age difference. It's very old and has a lot of good stuff on it. It truly lives up to its reputation as a system that has lived for thousands of years."

After finishing his breakfast and cleaning up the leftovers, Jiangxi Heng said:

"Your best buddy is really good to you, giving you such great pills so readily."

It's not even the word "borrow".

Jiangxi Heng has lived alone for many years; he has collaborators but no friends.

4399 sighed: [Mimi said that any creature that lives too long will… Host, do you know what will happen?]

Halfway through the conversation about imitation, 4399 turned around and asked about Jiangxi Heng.

Jiangxi Heng walked towards the cafeteria entrance and casually gave an answer: "Will I be lonely?"

No, no, no, it will become more merciful! Especially towards baby systems like mine!

So my best buddy is really good to me. Whenever I need help, it will help me if it can, and if it can't, it will ask its owner for help.

[However, my good buddy is very busy. Compared to my mission to advance civilization, he and his master have been invited by the main universe to repair the spacetime rift. They're very busy. Luckily, we were able to make contact right away this time...]

When it comes to good friends, 4399 becomes a chatterbox system.

The conversation didn't quiet down until Jiangxi Heng returned to his dormitory and placed the two extra breakfasts he had bought on Chi Ziyou's desk.

Chi Ziyou poked his head out of the bathroom, a toothbrush still stuffed in his mouth: "...For me?"

Jiangxi Heng glanced at him: "I'm sorry I scared you two yesterday. I thought it was almost 8 o'clock, so I took two extra portions."
