You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

With Lu Ci officially replacing Jian Yan as the male lead "Luo Ji," almost all the footage the crew had shot over the past week had to be scrapped.

Fortunately, filming had only been underway for a few days. Coupled with Jian Yan's acting skills, who often had to rehearse a single scene multiple times a day on set, the entire production's filming progress was significantly slowed down.

Therefore, these losses are within an acceptable range.

Today's full day of filming resumed, and Lu Ci's performance in front of the camera can be said to have taught the entire cast and crew a lesson.

When they finished filming, the veteran actors sat in the rest area, watching the monitor, and wondered if they had wasted most of their lives.

Lu Ci's scenes are mostly done in one take, and when the director occasionally yells "cut," the problem always lies with the other actors he's acting with.

In particular, the most common situations such as "laughing" or "suddenly getting stuck" never occurred to Lu Ci.

He seemed to be able to precisely transform the character into his second personality, switching between them effortlessly in the blink of an eye.

At the end of the day, when the actors were acting with Lu Ci, they would have the absurd illusion that they really saw "Luo Ji" standing in front of them, and sometimes they couldn't keep up with the scene at all.

Although this overwhelming strength was a huge blow to the actors' confidence, Guo Feng, sitting behind the monitor, was overjoyed.

Under Lu Ci's leadership, the quality of the film has improved dramatically!

What delighted Guo Feng even more was that Lu Ci, as the protagonist, had the most screen time.

However, because he filmed so quickly and steadily, what was originally expected to take several days of filming was completed in just one day, which directly led to a significant reduction in the overall production schedule.

In the film and television industry, as soon as a film crew starts work, money flows out like water from a bursting dam.

The cost of venue rental, food, drink, and sanitation for hundreds of people—every day saved would amount to an astronomical sum.

Holding his teacup, Guo Feng was grinning from ear to ear as he mentally calculated the money saved: "We'll save a million or two here, and then we can pour it all into the post-production special effects team. That way, the film will have both a good reputation and a solid foundation!"

……

Today is Shen Nian's 22nd birthday. After finishing work, Lu Ci told Gu Xiaowei to go home first, and then took a taxi to a shopping mall in the city center. After choosing a gift, he also ordered a cake.

Back at the hotel, after ordering room service, Lu Ci spread out a brand new mock Chinese exam paper on the coffee table.

When he went to the film set today, he not only brought the script, but also a Chinese language study guide, which he reviewed during breaks in filming.

People are often very pragmatic; once they receive timely positive feedback on something, they become more motivated to do it.

The system task set clear achievement criteria, and the enticing task rewards further fueled Lu Ci's enthusiasm, making it even higher than when he was preparing for the college entrance exam in his senior year of high school.

I wrote this mock exam very smoothly, especially the final essay.

The essay topic provided this time revolves around the theme of growth.

This is simple for Lu Ci. He uses "planned growth" and "exploratory growth" as the main themes to dialectically discuss the balance and unity of the two on a life scale.

As the last punctuation mark fell, the system's grading was completed in his mind almost at the same time.

[The host has completed the exam.]

[No cheating or use of external tools was observed during the exam, and the exam complied with the time limit regulations for a closed examination room. Current difficulty level of the Chinese language exam: National Paper II.]

[Final score based on overall evaluation: 123 points.]

123 points!

Upon hearing that he had surpassed the 120-point mark, a look of joy instantly appeared on Lu Ci's face.

As he expected, Chinese, the subject that relies most on experience and subjective expression, was indeed the easiest of the six subjects to complete.

However, the system's announcement wasn't over yet.

Main quest detected: "The Ladder of Progress"

The requirement of achieving a score of 120 or above in Chinese language has been met.

【award:】

1. Acquire the skill: "Masterful Writing Techniques";

2. Obtain the top-tier purple keyword: "Flowing Inspiration" (When creating text or structuring a story, your mental effort is greatly reduced, and your wellspring of inspiration will never run dry).

Lu Ci, sitting on the sofa, was slightly lost in thought for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his gaze subconsciously fell back on the Chinese test paper he had just finished answering.

When Lu Ci glanced at the essay that had won the award again, he frowned repeatedly.

Under the scrutiny of the aesthetic standards of "masterful writing techniques," his essays, which he originally thought were profound and eloquent, now appeared riddled with flaws at a glance.

What he found unbearable was that the entire article's structure was incredibly awkward, and the allusions and references within it didn't seem entirely appropriate to him now.

"Tsk, this skill even forcibly reshuffled my previous aesthetic sense."

Lu Ci flipped the paper over with a hint of disgust, unwilling to look at it any longer.

Lu Ci leaned back on the sofa, pondering whether he could write a novel with this skill combined with the relevant terms.

Lu Ci used to love reading novels. He still remembers a very popular online novelist named "Tang Jia San Shao" who seemed to have made it onto the Forbes China Celebrity List simply by writing novels in front of his computer.

Thinking about this, Lu Ci felt a little restless.

Countless novel settings and plots began to emerge in Lu Ci's mind with the help of the entry.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Lu Ci snapped out of his daze and got up to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Lu Ci saw the girl standing in the hallway and was instantly amazed.

Standing outside the door was Shen Nian, who was celebrating her birthday today.

You can tell she's dressed up carefully. Her already bright and beautiful eyes are subtly outlined with eyeliner, making her look less timid and more girlish and affectionate.

She was wearing a fitted white dress, the cinched waist design showing off her slender waist, and a sky-blue silk bow tied at the neckline.

Her long, black hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, and when she stood there, she resembled a flawless white flower.

Lu Ci's eyes lingered on the little girl for a long time without any attempt to conceal his gaze.

Shen Nian asked in her soft, sweet voice:

"Brother Lu...why are you staring at me like that? Do I look...pretty today?"

Lu Ci reached out and gently pinched the girl's fair cheek, smiling:

"very beautiful."

Upon receiving Lu Ci's praise, Shen Nian instantly broke into a sweet smile.
