Chapter 1: The Outdated

Chapter 1: The Outdated
An outdated actor, a failed actor, out of shape, always playing villains, with a single acting style——

Shen Lang, the professional counterpart to the domestic violence man, lost his job.

This is not the most tragic thing. The 8500 million yuan house in Shanghai Tangchen Yipin and the world's most luxurious nanny car, the Lawrence Mercedes-Benz VS500L, were all purchased with loans. After he lost his job, his phone was bombarded with calls from the bank.

When I opened my phone, all the hot searches were about him.

[Shen Lang, a professional actor who plays a domestic violence man, may become a dishonest debtor! 】

[Shen Lang may be punished by the bank for breach of trust, reflecting the vanity and comparison in the entertainment industry! ]

[Shen Lang’s ex-wife Lin Jiaer: When he was involved in domestic violence, I had already guessed what would happen to him! ]

……

Damn, in the original owner’s memory, it seems that the actor Shen Lang hasn’t been on the hot search for more than a year?
If I remember correctly, the last time he was on the hot search was when he divorced his wife, variety show queen Lin Jiaer!
That’s right, Shen Lang traveled through time and became a man who looked exactly like him and was extremely unlucky.

This world is somewhat different from his previous life. Some of the film and television works from his previous life are not available on this planet called Blue Star. The stars from his previous life also do not exist. In short, this is a completely unfamiliar environment to him.

Shen Lang was also a mediocre actor in his previous life. Coincidentally, like this guy, he was famous for his villain roles.

It’s not that he likes to play villains, but as he gets older, the former popular young actor turned into a housewife killer, and finally became a greasy middle-aged man. By coincidence, he played a villain and the response was good, and then... nothing happened.

Talented people emerge in every generation, and the old are replaced by the new!
cry!
"Looks like I have to go out and look for a job!" Shen Lang turned over and sat up from the bed. "I can't just sit there and do nothing. After all, I'm not even forty yet! There's still a long way to go!"

A few days ago, through the connections of his former employer in the entertainment industry, Shen Lang contacted a studio and is going to give it a try today.

When he arrived at the door of a shop called [Jia Lan Studio] on the 36th floor of Brilliance Building, the receptionist was shocked when she saw him, without waiting for Shen Lang to introduce himself, and shrank back and said, "Kong Jiawen..."

Shen Lang: "..."

Kong Jiawen is a domestic violence man played by the previous protagonist. He is polite and courteous in front of outsiders, but cruel and violent at home. Because the character is so deeply rooted in people's hearts, he is often called Kong Jiawen when he walks on the street.

There was even an experience where a woman took the elevator with him and was so scared by him that she huddled in the corner of the car and cried her eyes out. The building security was alerted and they mistook him for a bad guy and sent him to the police station.

Shen Lang was speechless. Film and television works, do you understand? If you take it seriously, you lose, little girl!

After waiting for a long time, the receptionist finally came to her senses, but the girl still didn't dare to look Shen Lang in the eye. She picked up the phone tremblingly and called above.

After hearing that it was an appointment, the girl led Shen Lang to meet the owner of the studio, looking back every few steps, as if she was chased by a ghost all the way.

After Shen Lang opened the door, he saw a graceful woman sitting inside. Her tight-fitting suit perfectly showed off her perfect figure.

The woman held Shen Lang's resume in her hand and said, "Your resume is not good. The personal strengths and weaknesses column...!"

This resume was submitted by the previous owner. Shen Lang had not yet fully integrated the previous owner's memory. He thought the previous owner was bragging too much, so he smiled and said, "Boss Gu, although there may be some exaggeration in this, it is still basically true! You see..."

Before she finished her words, the voice said, "Look at this first one. What's with trypophobia?"

Shen Lang was confused. Was the previous owner a fool? How could he give up on himself like this? He actually wrote down his weaknesses in the strengths and weaknesses column of his resume?
Faced with the hard-won interview opportunity, Shen Lang said with cold sweat on his forehead: "Boss, listen to me... listen to my explanation, there can't be more than three zeros on my salary, otherwise I will get sick!"

The hand holding the resume trembled noticeably, and she cleared her throat and said, "Oh... this, this is good!" "Then this one definitely won't do!" She pointed at the resume with her right hand and said, "Obsessive-compulsive disorder!"

"I try to get one take every day, and I have to finish my work every day, otherwise I won't be able to sleep!"

"Ahem! I barely accept that! What about this [Road Rage]?"

"Stupid stupid big stupid former master!" Shen Lang was close to collapse mentally, and he barely argued: "Whoever stands in the way of the company's listing, I will kill him!"

"Calm down! Are you afraid of heights?"

"My position in the company cannot be too high. I can just be an ordinary 18th-tier actor! Forget about vice president, executive president, etc. My main job is to create value for the company!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, drink some water. It says here that you have mysophobia... that's quite similar to me!"

"I can't stand anyone calling the boss names..."

The resume was put down, and a face with charming cheek lines appeared in front of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang was stunned. How could the face in front of him be both intellectual and sexy?
Not to mention her fair skin and so on, what Shen Lang couldn't take his eyes off was her lips. They were plump and tempting, making Shen Lang always want to peck them... ahem, the urge to look at them for a while longer.

The second thing is the eyes. Compared with the lips that make people think of something else, those eyes seem calm and wise, and the bright pupils are like a pool of spring water.

One face gives people two experiences, the first one is still fresh in people’s memory!
Just when Shen Lang was daydreaming, she, who had just been so friendly, said coldly: "Teacher Shen, I didn't realize that you have the potential to be a talk show host!"

Shen Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That was all a joke, a joke, especially the one about trypophobia..."

Seeing Shen Lang like this, Mr. Gu smiled and stood up, stretched out his soft little hand and said, "Teacher Shen, I have to admit that your resume has attracted my attention. My studio has just been established, and there are not many actors signed, and most of them are young people. Welcome to join us!"

Shen Lang was afraid that she would bring up her trypophobia, so he reminded her: "This..."

"My last name is Gu! Gu Jialan!"

Gu Jialan, what a nice name!

"Boss Gu, is there any announcement recently? Also, how will our company divide the profits?"

Gu Jialan thought about it and frowned, "Recently there is a niche anti-fraud film that is looking for a villain. Teacher Shen, do you want to try it?"

"Anti-fraud?"

"Well, the tentative title of the film is "All or Nothing"! The character is a fraud leader named Lu Bingkun... Although fraud is rampant in Southeast Asia now, it is very difficult to submit similar themes for review, you see..."

"What? All or Nothing? The movie that grossed over 6 billion yuan in 19 days?"

Without thinking, Shen Lang said hurriedly: "I'll act!"

Seeing his anxious look, Gu Jialan thought to herself, "It seems that the rumors on the Internet are true. This guy is really short of money!"

 The new book is launched, and I’m here to meet all the great readers!
