Chapter 11: Handsome and Powerful [Long Chapter]

Jing Cheng on the other end of the phone seemed a little nervous, and hesitated for a long time. Just when Shen Lang was about to lose his patience, she whispered: "I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, I lost my composure today. Actually, you are quite gentle!"

"Forehead……"

After Jing Cheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone before Shen Lang could take out his script notebook.

This is fucking impossible. There's no way to show off the charm of masculine rhetoric. It's neither good nor bad. It's a bit annoying!

bother?
It doesn’t matter. Just go home, open your phone, and have a fight with the leaders of the black fans.

Pick a hater at random.

[For tomorrow's rush]: I heard that Mr. Shen is filming again? With Mr. Shen's current wealth, he probably can't afford an assistant, right? That's good, so I don't hurt him...

Since this person cares so much about his life, Shen Lang must explain his current situation clearly.

[Shen Lang is no longer timid V]: I only do three things when I come out to work.

1. Support the landlord [bank];
2. Hire deliverymen;
3. Hire couriers.

One of them takes care of my accommodation, one takes care of my food, and one takes care of my clothes. The most successful thing that makes me feel every day is: successful payment, successful payment, and successful transfer.

I work alone and three assistants take care of my life, which is very considerate.

Although I didn't see my savings when I got home every day, I knew where the problem lay.

But the main theme is [Everyone’s well is the real well]!
After finishing his essay, he threw away his phone and did whatever he wanted without caring about other people's replies!

I don’t care what you say, I’m done feeling good, and I won’t read or reply from now on. I just want to ask you if your haters are angry!

Shen Lang's reply once again touched the fragile heartstrings of the haters...

Collapse...

"Too arrogant! What right does a scumbag who is about to be executed for breach of trust have to be so arrogant?"

"He's quite good at self-psychological massage. He feels superior even when eating takeout. Fuck!"

……

While netizens were criticizing him on Weibo, Shen Lang was checking the attribute entries of the new goods in his mind.

Consumable attributes: Handsome*1 [can slightly improve the protagonist's appearance and figure]; Upgrade*1 [can slightly speed up the release of the film]

These two attributes can be said to be a life-saving straw for Shen Lang.

Obviously, one saves his precarious appearance, and the other saves his increasingly empty pocket.

"Old Donkey, how do I use consumable entries?" Shen Lang muttered to himself.

The system voice sounded: "Donkey treasure, the system's consumable attributes require the host to select the attribute entry in his mind and recite it silently. The effect will be immediate after use! Consumable attributes are one-time consumables and will disappear after use!"

So amazing?

For men in the entertainment industry, appearance is life. Without saying a word, Shen Lang thought to himself, "so handsome."

In an instant, there was a flash of light in his mind, and then, the light gradually disappeared like a flash!

Shen Lang pinched his face?
Is this cool?

I looked in the mirror and there wasn't much change.

The fine lines at the corners of the eyes of a 38-year-old middle-aged man, the gradually deepening facial features, and slightly dark eye bags!
Damn, it feels like a fake product!
Just then, he looked down and found that the little belly fat seemed to have disappeared and his abdomen became much flatter.

"Is it really effective?" Shen Lang was overjoyed when he saw this.

I turned to the floor-length mirror and took a look, and sure enough, old man, I misunderstood you.

There is not much change in Shen Lang's face now.

But the whole person seems to have lost weight.

The figure, which had been slightly out of shape, has now returned to normal.

Once my stomach was empty, I felt refreshed.

Moreover, the greasy feeling on Shen Lang's body also disappeared, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"so amazing……"

Shen Lang looked at himself in the mirror for a long time before he struck a bodybuilding pose and left the mirror.

There is also a consumption attribute, but Shen Lang does not plan to use it now.

In his understanding, this attribute would be most effective if used after the filming is completed.

As we all know, after the filming is completed, it is a very troublesome process to pass the review.

But with this property, you can use it to speed up the release process. Therefore, the faster the movie is released, the faster you can get the final payment.

Isn’t this exactly what I just said, to save your increasingly empty wallet?
Open the Dark Donkey system host data panel!

[Host: Shen Lang]

[Age: 38 years old]

[Appearance: 74. You are past your prime, but you have maintained a good figure. Among middle-aged people, you are handsome! ]

[Physique: 55, nothing good except strong kidneys, barely pass]

[Ability: 20. His villain acting skills are one in a hundred, but the whole system shares the same roles, which lowers the overall score! ]

[Assets: one set of Tomson Yipin (temporarily frozen), one Lawrence Mercedes-Benz VS500L (temporarily frozen). ]

[Newly collected tags: Consumable attributes: Handsome*1; Upgrade*1]

When he saw the system host data panel, Shen Lang finally felt relieved.

It seems that the fact that his stomach became smaller and he felt refreshed was not just his illusion.

"Hehe, you've maintained your figure well. Among middle-aged people, you're considered handsome! This evaluation... Tsk tsk, if you remove the words "among middle-aged people", it will be even more perfect!"

……

The next morning, Shen Lang arrived at the studio early.

Today is his first day as assistant director, and he is never careless about his work.

When he arrived at the studio, he saw that most people were not there yet, so he pulled up a chair and sat outside the studio, reading the script and basking in the sun.

Not long after, the staff and actors gradually arrived at their posts.

"Teacher Shen, so early?"

"Teacher Shen, have you eaten yet? I have some chive egg pancakes... can you give me some?"

"Teacher Shen, you are so serious!"

This was the greeting the man gave when he saw Shen Lang.

"Mr. Kong...Mr. Shen..."

"Mr. Shen, good morning!"

"I have... milk here, would you like some, Teacher Shen?"

This was the greeting the women gave when they saw Shen Lang.

When Jing Cheng and Zhou Ye came together, they immediately noticed Shen Lang at the door.

Jing Cheng paused, her face flushed, thinking back to the phone call she had mustered up the courage to make last night. She clearly went there to apologize, but before Shen Lang could say anything, she shyly hung up the phone. It was so rude.

She thought about it for a long time last night and realized that Shen Lang is actually a good actor.

Judging from his patience with Zhang Yixin and his gentleness when comforting himself, Jing Cheng felt that many of the attacks on Teacher Shen on the Internet were probably groundless.

"What's wrong, Jingcheng?" Jingcheng suddenly stopped, which surprised Zhou Ye.

At this time, she also saw Shen Lang sitting at the door.

At this moment, Shen Lang was reading the script carefully under the warm morning sun. The colorful sunlight shone on his body like a spotlight on the stage.

Shen Lang has a straight figure, sits in a reserved and gentle posture, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face, giving him an intoxicating mature aura.

Zhou Ye murmured: "Jingcheng, have you discovered that, in fact, Teacher Shen is quite handsome!"

And Jing Cheng looked at Shen Lang with an infatuated look in his eyes! ...

The scenes filmed today mainly focus on the leading actor Zhang Yixin.

If it were the original Shen Lang, he would have been hiding somewhere to memorize his lines in peace.

But that is no longer possible. As an assistant director of the crew who receives a monthly salary, he has to take on the responsibility of improving the actors' acting skills and assisting the director in filming.

Because of Zhang Yixin’s experience yesterday, everyone is not too resistant to this unknown actor.

By noon, Sun Liang, who played the small leader Acai, and Wang Dalu, who played the gambler, were both deeply impressed by Shen Lang.

"This teacher...don't say it, please don't say it!"

"He can always find the key points of my performance in the script and give reasonable suggestions!"

"With the help of Teacher Shen, I feel that working in this crew is easy and enjoyable!"

……

When it was Shen Lang's turn to perform, he discovered to his amazement that Jing Cheng was not as nervous as before when facing him today.

Moreover, she got into the state very quickly, which surprised Zhou Ye who was watching the whole process.

During the break, Zhou Ye secretly called Jing Cheng aside and said, "Is Teacher Shen really that amazing? I acted opposite you yesterday and scared you to tears. Why is it going so smoothly today?"

Speaking of acting, Jing Cheng really admires Shen Lang from the bottom of his heart. People who have not acted with him would not understand that Shen Lang's performance, every movement, every micro-expression is perfect.

Jing Cheng looked into Shen Lang's eyes in the play as if he was looking at a teleprompter.

Especially when he had his back to the camera, Shen Lang would encourage Jing Cheng with his eyes for every performance and prompt her on how to release her emotions next.

"Besides, didn't you notice that when Mr. Shen played the role of a swindler, his acting was so skillful..."

"It's like I've been tempered countless times in life..."

Zhou Ye: “…”

Shen Ao passed by the two girls: "..."

"Great, great, Mr. Shen. If we continue shooting at this pace today, we will be able to complete the domestic shooting schedule very quickly!"

"I feel that hiring you as assistant director for 300,000 yuan is the wisest choice I can make!"

Being disturbed during his rest, Shen Lang looked at the director unhappily and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Today, Mr. Li, the representative of the investor, will come to the studio to check the progress of the filming. I will have to trouble Teacher Shen then..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Lang covered his face with the script, took a comfortable position on the recliner and said, "Got it!"

Shen Ao was stunned when he saw this, then he sighed in his heart: "People with ability are probably all this awesome!"

In the afternoon, several black cars arrived at the Imperial City Film and Television Studio in a low-key manner, and a thin middle-aged man in a T-shirt got out of the car.

If this person were placed in a crowd, he would look like just an ordinary office worker.

She has slightly curly and messy hair and an average appearance.

But if everyone knew his background, they would probably be shocked.

This is the legal representative of Shanghai Taotao Piao, Li Jie.

What? Have you never heard of Taotao Tickets?
Since its establishment nine years ago, it has invested in eight films.

The box office of each film is over 30 billion.

This makes Taotao tickets a legend in the industry.

What’s even more legendary is that it is said that Taotao Piao’s boss Li Jie is an out-and-out studio tyrant.

Whenever he appears in the studio and finds anything he is not satisfied with, he will immediately order the director team to change it.

In theory, affecting the director team's filming is a taboo in the industry, and many directors with strong personalities absolutely cannot accept it.

But the amazing thing is that although Li Jie is an investor, he seems to have a deep understanding of movies. Every improvement plan he proposed was ultimately proven to be the right choice.

Therefore, his arrival made everyone in the crew a little uneasy.

Shen Ao and Ning Hao were waiting outside early, and when they saw Li Jie and the other man, they went to greet them.

The studio tyrant was unexpectedly very kind: "Director, producer, thank you for your hard work!"

When people are polite, it’s to the person;
When people get angry, that's the right thing to do!
Shen Ao and Ning Hao did not dare to be careless at all, and politely invited this big money sponsor into the studio.

As soon as he entered the studio, Li Jie frowned.

Whenever he goes to other crews, no matter how big a star they are, they will wait at the door to welcome him politely.

But when I arrived at the set of "All or Nothing" today, there was neither a welcome ceremony nor the busy scene as I had imagined.

He turned around and asked calmly, "What's going on?"

Shen Ao's face turned pale: "This..."

Just then, Li Jie found a group of people gathered together, talking and laughing, and he didn't know what they were doing.

"Huh! Director Shen, is this your crew? You take the money from the investors and do nothing, but get together to chat and gossip during work?"

Shen Ao and Ning Hao suddenly broke out in sweat from their foreheads.

They were about to say something, but Li Jie had already strode towards where the crowd was gathering.

As soon as he approached, Li Jie heard a person inside giving a lecture:
"One of the most twisted things about our country is that victory is everything, the winner takes all, and whatever the loser says is wrong."

"In reality, most of us are just ordinary people, right?"

The people around listened very carefully and nodded in agreement.

The man continued, "School only teaches us how great it is to be a winner and how miserable it is to be a loser. It never teaches us how losers should survive."

"Yes!"

"That's right! The teacher hit the nail on the head!"

……

"But there are obviously few people in this world who can be considered winners, yet this theory is prevalent. But no matter how hard you try, you will find that in the end there will always be someone better than you, and there will always be someone better than you!"

"Children who are brought up like this will always be obsessed with comparisons and never know what happiness and joy are!"

When Li Jie heard this, his face darkened. He turned to look at Shen Ao behind him and asked, "Are you filming a movie or listening to a lecture by a sales guru?"

Shen Ao was stunned. What the hell was going on? Everyone was fine when he just left, but as soon as he came in, it became a sales scene?

Producer Ning Hao quickly stepped forward and advised: "Everyone has worked hard shooting for a whole morning, it's understandable to take a break..."

At this moment, the man in the crowd continued: "If we want to understand the script, we must explore the core of the script. Why did the tragedy of "All or Nothing" happen?"

"It's because of Manager Lu's lines at the beginning: [If you want to succeed, you must first go crazy and rush forward regardless of everything], [Try your best to become a third-generation rich man, and work hard to avoid failure]!"

"This kind of victory-oriented mentality has caused tragedies that are everywhere in society."

"You all said that sometimes, you can't empathize with others. Then think carefully about what I just said!"

"Okay, everyone go back and think about it. We have to meet with the investors soon. What a waste of time. Hurry up!"

……

Li Jie was stunned.

Was there some misunderstanding just now?

Is this person talking about a play?

The clown who delayed everyone's filming progress... was actually me?

Shen Ao said with a dark face: "Boss Li..."

Li Jie waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This staff member is very good. I am very happy... very happy..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man in the crowd with a big gold chain around his neck, a big gold watch on his wrist, and a slicked-back hair...

"Hiss...it's him!"
