Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Beijing Film and Television Base.

"Are you useless? I've explained this simple scene to you ten times already, how come you still can't film it? What's that thing around your neck for? Understand! Understand! Don't you get it?!"

On the set of a film crew, a young man dressed in an ancient python robe was pointing at a round-faced man and cursing him with exasperation. His handsome face would occasionally twist, and his eyebrows, which were almost touching his temples, would stand up high, making him look like the King of Hell from hell.

The round-faced man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his attitude humble: "I can't blame Brother Nie, please don't be angry, I'll think about it again..."

In terms of age, the younger man is definitely younger than the round-faced man, but he has more seniority and fame, so he has become a "brother" in the entertainment industry.

The young man pressed his fingers back down, gritting his teeth: "If you still can't do it when filming starts, you can get the hell out of here. The company sent you here using my name, and you've already embarrassed yourself, don't try to drag me down with you. I've taught you so many times and you still can't get it right, which shows you have absolutely no acting talent. You might as well go to an audition while you're still young!"

After hurling a long string of curses, the young man's eyes glazed over for a moment, as if he were thinking of someone, and he clenched his jaw even tighter.

The round-faced man was indignant, but the situation forced him to swallow his resentment. He couldn't help but think: So what if he debuted earlier than me and caught a good opportunity? If I had also debuted as a child star, I could be the leading man now and boss people around.

On the surface, he kept bowing, saying, "Yes, I remember, Brother Nie."

Nie Mingzhu didn't want to talk to a pig anymore, so he waved his hand to tell him to get lost, and then turned around and asked his assistant to bring him his phone.

His face was somewhat gloomy, and everyone around him thought he was upset by the rotten wood from the same company. Even the director came out to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, Mingzhu. If it really gets bad later, I'll just zoom out on him. Just stay calm."

Despite his bad mood, Nie Mingzhu remained dedicated to his work, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, director, I'm fine with acting."

The director then praised, "That's right, your acting skills are simply the best I've ever seen among the new generation."

Nie Mingzhu twitched the corner of his mouth. He had heard enough of these words over the years: the top of the four young actors born after 05, the best actor in ancient costume dramas, the next TV king. They kept praising him.

Sigh, ever since that guy turned 13, his acting skills have degenerated into something like a paramecium, as if he took the wrong medicine. All the glory that once belonged to the Gemini has fallen on him.

When Nie Mingzhu just cursed the round-faced man, wasn't he also cursing his childhood friend?

Instead of working on his poor acting skills and cultivating a bad mentality, he goes and participates in some ridiculous talent show. Does he really think changing careers will save his talent? And look at his arrogant singing voice...

That's what she said, but Nie Mingzhu still used her alternate account to easily open the voting channel of "Cosmic Star-Making Camp". She was about to cast 10 votes for that person, but after scrolling from beginning to end, she still couldn't find that person.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Nie Mingzhu sat up straight, searching more carefully this time, and discovered that Jiang Xiheng, that damn guy, was no longer in the voting channel. Had he been eliminated?!

Because she was busy, Nie Mingzhu didn't have much time to watch the program content. At most, she could only judge Jiangxi Heng's situation based on some trending information.

This led to a statement released by the program team, revealing that Jiangxi Heng had withdrawn from the competition two days prior.

Before withdrawing from the competition, he had achieved a commendable fourth place.

Nie Mingzhu's face turned green. He simply couldn't understand what this paramecium-like guy was thinking. If you're going to do something, do it properly! Why give up halfway? All the 300,000 yuan he had invested in voting for him had gone down the drain.

Damn! If this person hadn't ignored my WeChat messages for years, would I have bothered with this roundabout way of doing things?

The more Nie Mingzhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He opened WeChat and tapped the contact at the bottom.

The last news about the two was four years ago.

[Nie Mingzhu: I heard you withdrew from the competition? What, did you realize you're no good at anything?]

The moment the message was successfully sent, for some reason, Nie Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and even thought that Jiangxi Heng hadn't blocked him.

To his even greater surprise, the other party actually replied!

[Jiangxi Heng: Did you watch the show?]

Jiangxi Heng, who was moving house, was somewhat surprised to see the news.

Outsiders say that the former twin stars have become bitter enemies and will never speak to each other again, but in reality, there is no major conflict between the two. It is all imagined by their fans or exaggerated by some marketing accounts.

Thinking of this, Jiangxi Heng replied to the message directly.

It seems Nie Mingzhu has been quite free lately, he's even watching talent shows.

[Nie Mingzhu: Who watched this? My assistant saw the message and told me! I'm very busy, I'm filming recently, who has time to watch this kind of thing?]

Just then, 4399, who had been assigned the task, finally found the fan accounts that had voted for Jiangxi Heng during this period, along with the amount of money spent.

Although he had decided to withdraw from the competition early on, Jiangxi Heng still felt that he had done right by the production team (providing popularity and songs) and Xie Xingyan (the CP pairing was very successful), but he had let down the fans who spent money on him.

He didn't want his fans to feel like their money was wasted, so he asked 4399 to compile a list and give these fans the green light in future Weibo raffles, gift giveaways, and movie ticket giveaways.

Upon closer inspection, it was astonishing.

"Nie Mingzhu's alt account voted for me with 30 yuan?"

Although it's not a large amount in the total amount, it's a significant contribution from a major fan on an individual level.

Let's look at Nie Mingzhu's still relatively new message...

Jiangxi Heng raised an eyebrow: "It couldn't be that his assistant accidentally used his alternate account to vote for me, could it? That guy is really..."

As always, he said one thing but meant another.

Jiangxi Heng remembered his friend's silent kindness and was even more confident in getting his friend to make a cameo appearance in his upcoming web series.

[Jiangxi Heng: Filming at a film and television base in Beijing?]

[Nie Mingzhu: Nonsense]

[Jiang Xiheng: I have a film here, and I'd like to ask you to make a cameo appearance.]

Jiangxi Heng's overly direct approach left Nie Mingzhu speechless for a moment. He was so shocked that he went from sitting to standing, his brows furrowed as he stared at the screen, as if pondering a profound philosophical question about life.

This guy just withdrew from the competition, and now he's talking about a movie... Could it be that he withdrew from the competition just for this movie?!

Having almost figured out the truth, Nie Mingzhu couldn't help but wonder, "Jiang Xiheng has been making bad dramas for four or five years now, what good scripts could he possibly have?" He even suspected that Jiang Xiheng had a problem with his judgment! Otherwise, why would he accept those bad films?

Reason told him that he should refuse directly.

But his emotions made him open the chat window: [What script? I don't take on bad scripts.]

Jiangxi Heng chuckled softly as he sat in the moving company's truck.

It's done. The highlight of this drama now depends on Nie Mingzhu.
