He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

No sooner had Liu Yifei left than Ye Mo picked up his phone and checked the call log.

Sure enough, the note was "fairy".

He couldn't help but chuckle.

This note was set by myself.

When they first got together, Liu Yifei saw this nickname in his contacts, blushed, and punched him several times, saying, "It's so cheesy."

Later, I secretly checked his phone and found that the nickname in his contacts hadn't been changed yet, and the corners of his mouth were smirking so much they could hang an oil bottle on them.

Ye Mo dialed the number.

I answered it after it rang twice.

"What?" Liu Yifei's voice held a hint of amusement. "You already miss me after only a few minutes apart?"

"Of course, I've been thinking about you so much I can't eat or sleep." Ye Mo lay down on the bed, crossed his legs, and said, "Yifei, I need to discuss something with you."

"explain."

"I want to enter the entertainment industry."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft chuckle: "Aren't you already in the industry? The top extra in Hengdian, a star making eighty yuan a day."

"Hey, I don't like hearing that," Ye Mo rolled over. "I'm serious. I can't keep playing minor roles forever, can I? I want to act, to act in good movies, to play roles that people will remember."

"and then?"

"Then...you have to help me."

Liu Yifei did not answer immediately.

Ye Mo could hear light footsteps coming from the other end of the phone; she must be walking.

"You've finally figured it out?" Liu Yifei's voice suddenly became serious.

"What have you figured out?"

"Didn't you always say you didn't want to rely on me and wanted to build your own career?" Liu Yifei's tone carried a hint of smugness. "Now you know to beg me?"

Ye Mo blushed.

Indeed, when the original owner first transmigrated, she was a very strong-willed person.

Even though his girlfriend is a big star, he has never once asked for any resources.

Even the minor roles were ones he snatched from the group leader.

But Ye Mo is different now.

Having spent ten years as an extra in his past life, he knew the rules of this industry all too well—if you don't have connections, you're an idiot.

"The past is the past, the present is the present," Ye Mo said shamelessly. "I've figured it out, haven't I? Besides, if I become famous, wouldn't that be a boost for you? When people ask, 'Liu Yifei, who is your boyfriend?' I can just tell them, how respectable would that be?"

"It's quite respectable of you to say it now," Liu Yifei said, suppressing a laugh. "'Hengdian's No. 1 Extra,' how prestigious is that?"

"Liu Yifei! That's enough!"

"Hahaha……"

After joking around for a while, Liu Yifei said seriously, "Alright, I know. I'll ask around for you; there are a few casting calls these days. But Ye Mo, let me be clear—I can only pass on the word; whether you get the role depends on your own abilities."

"Absolutely!" Ye Mo slapped his thigh. "Don't worry, your man may not have many other talents, but when it comes to acting, he's second to none."

"blow."

"Take it or leave it. By the way, don't go for those small-scale productions, go for big productions."

"Pretty high standards," Liu Yifei snorted. "Fine, I'll keep an eye out for you. Wait for my news."

"Okay! Thanks, honey!"

"Who's your wife... I'm hanging up."

beep--

Ye Mo looked at his phone screen and grinned.

This girl really dotes on him.

Despite his sharp tongue, he cares more than anyone else.

……

Sure enough, the phone rang before the afternoon.

"Ye Mo! Found him!" Liu Yifei's voice was filled with excitement. "Guess what kind of play it is?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."

Have you heard of "Kung Fu Jungle"?

Ye Mo was taken aback.

"Kung Fu Jungle"? That's not it...

"It's a kung fu film directed by Chan Tak-sing," Liu Yifei continued. "The crew is casting here these days, and they're short of a villain. I know Director Chan; we chatted briefly at an event last year, so I recommended him to you."

"What villain?"

"His name is Feng Yuxiu. Wait a minute, let me take a look at the script synopsis..." Liu Yifei flipped through a few pages. "Hmm... He's a martial arts fanatic, born with a disability, but he's mastered kung fu and challenges masters from various schools everywhere. In the end, he has a fight with the protagonist on the highway."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei paused, then added, "This role is quite difficult. The director said he wanted to find an actor with a 'wicked' aura. I'm guessing..."

"What are you guessing?"

"I reckon you won't get elected either."

"...What do you mean?"

"That's not what I meant!" Liu Yifei quickly explained, "I mean, this role has too high requirements. You have to be able to fight, and you also have that crazy vibe. Director Chen looked at several people before but wasn't satisfied. I just wanted you to give it a try. Whether you succeed or not is another matter, but at least you'll broaden your horizons."

Ye Mo understood.

So this girl wanted him to give up.

But what she didn't know was—

On the other end of the phone, Ye Mo could no longer sit still.

Feng Yuxiu.

He was all too familiar with that name.

In the previous film, "Kung Fu Jungle," Wang Baoqiang's portrayal of Feng Yuxiu is considered one of the classic villains in Chinese action films.

"It not only distinguishes between superior and inferior, but also determines life and death."

"Kung Fu is a killing technique."

That limping, sinister-looking martial arts fanatic whose every move is a killing blow—every scene of him sends chills down your spine.

And now, this role is placed before him.

Ye Mo's breathing became rapid.

"Ye Mo? Ye Mo? Are you still there?" Liu Yifei's voice came through the phone. "If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll find you someone else..."

"Go!" Ye Mo sprang out of bed. "Who said I wasn't going?! I'm going! I have to go!"

Why are you so agitated...?

"I haven't seen it, but I have a feeling!" Ye Mo clenched his fist. "Yifei, let me tell you, this role was tailor-made for me! If I don't take it, it'll be an injustice!"

"You haven't even auditioned yet..."

"An audition is just a formality, isn't it?" Ye Mo patted his chest confidently. "You wait, once I land this role, let's see if you still dare to call me 'Hengdian's Number One Extra'!"

Liu Yifei laughed on the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay, you're awesome. Tomorrow at 2 PM, XX Hotel. Call me when you arrive, and I'll have someone take you to see Director Chen."

"no problem!"

"Then you'd better prepare well, don't embarrass me."

"Don't worry, I'll embarrass no one but you."

"Smooth talker... He's done for."

This time it's really over.

Ye Mo tossed his phone onto the bed, leaned back, and lay there staring at the ceiling.

Then--

"Hahahaha!"

He suddenly burst out laughing, laughing like a fool.

Feng Yuxiu!

That's Feng Yuxiu!

In his previous life, Wang Baoqiang's role in this film made everyone take notice, transforming him from a simple-minded "comedian" into an "action actor."

That limp leg, that look in his eyes, and that line, "It not only distinguishes between superiors and inferiors, but also decides life and death," are still frequent references in the Bilibili parody section.

And now, this opportunity has fallen into his lap.

Although Liu Yifei only relayed a message on his behalf, and although whether he would pass the audition was still unknown, Ye Mo had a gut feeling—

He's determined to get this role.

He sat up and opened his phone to search for information about "Kung Fu Jungle".

As expected, there is no version like Wang Baoqiang's in this world. Director Chen Desheng is still searching for actors everywhere, and the role of Feng Yuxiu has not yet been finalized.

Ye Mo became more and more excited as he looked at it.

A congenital disability? He can act.

The madness of a martial arts fanatic? He can act that too.

Action scenes? Although I wasn't a stuntman in my past life, I trained for a few years for filming, plus the system's support...

"Ding!"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

[Actor System Warmly Reminds You: The system has detected that the host will soon be participating in an audition for an important role. It is recommended that you prepare in advance.]

[Side quest triggered: Successfully captured the role of "Feng Yuxiu", reward: Martial Arts Proficiency (Intermediate) x1]

Ye Mo's eyes lit up!

"System, you're truly my precious son!"

System: […Please do not give the system a nickname, otherwise the system will continue to shut down.]

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding." Ye Mo rubbed his hands together. "What level is intermediate martial arts proficiency?"

[This is equivalent to 3-5 years of professional stunt training, enough to complete most action scenes.]

enough.

That's enough.

Ye Mo took a deep breath and walked to the mirror.

He looked at his young face in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a slightly crazy smile.

"Feng Yuxiu... Feng Yuxiu..."

He muttered the character's name under his breath, his eyes gradually turning sinister, and his whole being exuding a dangerous aura.

Then he composed himself and burst into laughter.

"I'm going to be famous!"

"This is really going to be a hit!"

Outside, the tenant next door was banging on the wall: "In the middle of the day, can't a person sleep?!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ye Mo covered her mouth, but a smile still peeked out from between her fingers.

Tomorrow, at 2 PM.

Success or failure hinges on this one move.
