Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

In the evening, Lin Yu and his group of four quickly arrived at the foot of a secluded residential building, led by Ning Hao's crew assistant.

As evening approached, the city seemed to enter a state of rest.

They walked down the street, but didn't see many passersby for a long time.

After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at a cordoned-off area.

Looking around, the place was bustling with staff, a stark contrast to the empty streets.

"Brother Li."

Assistant Xiao Li, holding the identification token, led Lin Yu and his group quickly through the layers of people and soon arrived next to Ning Hao.

At this moment, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Ma Su, and other actors were gathered around Ning Hao, each holding a script, clearly discussing something.

As Lin Yu and his entourage approached, many actors stopped what they were doing and greeted Ma Xiaojing one by one.

"Teacher Ma."

"Sister Ma."

"Teacher Ma."

No one paid any attention to Lin Yu, not because they looked down on him, but simply because they couldn't see him.

To them, Lin Yu was even more invisible than Liu Meihan, who was already a nobody in the crew.

At least Liu Meihan has representative works. Regardless of whether the audience is young or not, "Little Fairy" is still there!

After exchanging pleasantries with Ma Xiaojing for a while, Ning Hao cleared his throat and quickly drew everyone's attention to her.

"Xiao Lin, how's the script coming along?" Ning Hao's eyes remained expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

Lin Yu smiled confidently. If he couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, he simply wouldn't try. In terms of hard power, he was confident that he was no weaker than anyone else.

"I think I've thoroughly understood it all." His voice was clear and crisp, carrying a firm confidence.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Su, Liu Meihan, and the others couldn't help but show a strange expression.

The others, who were more shrewd, didn't show any change in expression, but Lin Yu could sense that the emotions in their eyes seemed to have shifted.

"Oh? Then I won't test you on your biography or anything like that. Shall we just get straight to the actual filming?" Ning Hao tapped Su Yan, whom he had been playing with for a long time, and spoke calmly.

In his view, with Ma Xiaojing around, Lin Yu's biography and textual understanding were naturally guided by someone, and it's even possible that it was ghostwritten by someone else.

Since we can't be sure if this is his true thought, let's just not watch it and see how good his acting is.

Lin Yu pursed his lips, his face expressionless, and made a request: "May I rehearse a scene with our teachers first?"

Ning Hao was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Of course you can, you can talk to them."

Seeing that Ning Hao had said so, Lin Yu simply took the script and gathered all the main actors present together.

As Lin Yuzhen began to take charge of the various "big shots" as a matter of course, Ma Su's gaze towards him gradually became somewhat strange.

To be honest, Lin Yu was a little surprised when he received the script and studied it carefully for several days.

This script is different from the one I saw in the movie theater in my previous life!

Lin Yu was very familiar with the movie's name; it was the movie he had watched in his previous life, "Breakup Buddies."

A film that will still be discussed and analyzed by film critics even in 2026.

Lin Yu's character in the script is "Nima Ge," played by Lei Datou in his previous life.

But now, in the script, his lines really are reduced to just the three words "Fuck you."

There's no context, no climax, no plot—nothing at all.

If he doesn't adjust the plot, given the current storyline, even if Lin Yu's acting skills are excellent, he probably won't be able to catch Ning Hao's eye!

This is a limitation in acting skills, but in terms of the characters, having seen the plot in his previous life, he can still find a lot of usable ideas!

As Lin Yu spoke eloquently, Huang Bo's expression towards him became more appreciative.

Xu Zheng looked at Lin Yu with affirmation in his eyes, and said with some amazement, "What a talent!"

After Lin Yu assigned the plot details, Ning Hao waved his hand, summoning the clapperboard guy.

As the camera was pointed at him, Lin Yu felt a surge of excitement even though he knew the scene wouldn't be filmed.

"Okay, let's take a test shot, one take."

The clapperboard guy slapped the board down.

Everyone, including the extras, quickly surrounded Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, forming a circle around them.

"Honey, those are the two." The same lines as in my past life.

Lin Yu, however, first casually circled around Wang Yanhui, then turned to look at the spirited young woman played by Liu Meihan.

"Fuck you!" With a curse, Lin Yu took three steps in two, seemingly kicking Huang Bo.

In reality, it's holding back most of its power; it just looks intimidating.

Huang Bo looked somewhat surprised, not expecting Lin Yu to have this trick up his sleeve. Even during the test shoot, he cooperated by clutching his stomach and bending over, as if he had suffered some kind of pain.

Lin Yu first beat up the two men, then circled around and walked to Liu Meihan's side.

Avoiding the gaze of the man beside Liu Meihan, he secretly grabbed her waist with lustful eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ning Hao's eyes widened in surprise.

He quickly realized that these were some changes Lin Yu had made to the plot.

In reality, the relationships among many thugs and gangsters are often quite chaotic, which is probably the source of Lin Yu's changes.

It is also the fulcrum he found for his character.

The reason he got angry and beat the two of them was not only because his sister-in-law was harassed, but also because his mistress was harassed as well.

Regardless of what Ning Hao was thinking, the show on stage continued.

Ma Su took out a stack of training notes and patted Huang Bo's face.

"...What were you doing just now? Did I love you?"

Huang Bo appeared timid and hesitant, saying, "Love, love..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu first revealed a mischievous grin, then shuffled forward with uneven steps: "Oh ho? What the hell? You love your sister-in-law, huh?"

After that, the plot progressed in the same way as in the previous life, but it was quite different from many parts of the script.

Ning Hao watched from the sidelines until the performance was over, and Lin Yu fled in a panic while singing the theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf." Only then did he raise his hand and say, "Cut!"

As everyone slowly let out a breath, they walked towards Ning Hao.

Lin Yu then had the mind to ask Huang Bo, "Brother Bo, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, you know this trick? Do you even teach action scenes in the undergraduate program at Beijing Film Academy?" Huang Bo glanced at Ma Xiaojing and joked.

He also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, but only from the vocational college program.

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, repeatedly expressing his modesty.

When he walked up to Ning Hao, Ning Hao finally took a serious look at Lin Yu, this young man who was only twenty-one years old.

"You acted well, but did you come up with the direction for this script change yourself?" Ning Hao's words were ambiguous, leaving one unsure whether he thought the changes were bad or good.

Seeing this, Lin Yu didn't guess much, but simply said, "These are all secondary adaptations I made based on the character and the script. Please excuse my poor performance."

Ning Hao nodded thoughtfully, but neither praised nor criticized Lin Yu. After pondering for a long time, he finally asked:

"I think I understand your thoughts on the rest, but why did you sing 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf' later on?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly: "Because this is a new setting I personally gave him."

"This character could be a crazy fan of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, which would create a certain contrast in the drama and bring about quite a comedic result."

"For example, when filming, you could put a Pleasant Goat sticker on the front of the car, or wear a pair of Pleasant Goat sneakers..."

Hearing this, Ning Hao was taken aback, but then his eyes lit up, and he patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

"Lin Yu, right? You'll start filming tomorrow."
