Chapter 2 It's Dark Donkey System
"Then the split is 40% to 60%, the company gets 40% and you get 60%, is that okay? If I can, I'll call Director Shen and Producer Ning. I believe that with my face, they will definitely give me a chance to audition!" said Gu Jialan!
A 40:60 split can be said to be quite reasonable in the entertainment industry. For an unknown actor like Shen Lang who is also a professional villain, his income after each scene is far different from that of the leading male or female actor. Based on the principle of maximizing profits, the company should split the profits 50:50, or even 60:40 for people like them!
I guess this studio has just been established, so it’s not that shady!
"Okay, Mr. Gu, when do you think I can have the audition?" Shen Lang gave an affirmative answer!
Gu Jialan first gave him a contract to read and sign, and then he took out his cell phone to contact the crew.

Soon, Shen Lang signed the work contract of Jialan Studio, and Gu Jialan also received a reply.

"The crew is on a tight schedule and will start filming soon, but the role of Lu Bingkun has not yet been decided. There are a few potential actors waiting to audition. Teacher Shen, what do you think..."

Shen Lang said without hesitation: "Where? I'll go for the audition now!"

"It's at the Imperial City Film Studio, which is not far from our Imperial City!"

"OK!"

……

After coming out of the studio and looking at the bustling crowds on the street, Shen Lang was thinking about the luxury house in Shanghai, thousands of miles away, which was temporarily frozen by the court!

"I must get the role. I want to take back what belongs to me!"

A mother and son who were passing by saw Shen Lang's behavior.

The child wondered, "Mom, is this uncle crazy?"

The mother looked at Shen Lang, her eyes suddenly widened... and became round: "Kong, it's Kong Jiawen... Xiaobao, hurry up..."

"Forehead……"

"Ding, it is detected that the host has obtained a job opportunity, and has escaped from the useless silent mode..."

"Congratulations to the host for binding the Dark Donkey to the villain system!"

"The host will randomly trigger tasks during his acting career. Completing the tasks will reward you with random face-pinching attribute tags!"

Face-pinching attribute tags?
Shen Lang was a little confused. If he guessed correctly, wasn't this a feature that only existed in old stand-alone games?
Especially for martial arts games, when creating the calibration, the system randomly assigns attribute labels.

What is "a rare talent among men" and "extraordinary bones"...

This is two lifetimes of bad luck. Could it be that my luck has changed?

"Donkey, are you ready to receive the novice gift pack? The novice gift pack contains 3 intermediate attribute tags!"

The system sound sounded again.

Nothing more to say, here comes the benefit for time travelers!
Shen Lang accepted it silently without hesitation.

Sure enough, the next second, three golden frames appeared in my mind, with attribute text written in the frames.

Upon closer inspection, I found that the three attribute labels are [Intermediate Villain Acting Skills]*1, [Vulture]*1, and [Liuwei Dihuang Pills for Body Protection]*1.

No, let’s talk about the system. What are the things about these three terms?

You've played villains for two lifetimes, and you still have the acting skills to be a villain?

You probably think that the young girls and wives on the street are adding fuel to the fire when they see me, because I am still not incontinent?
Oh, and what about the vultures?

What does the vulture tag mean?
Do you dare to give a label hint?
The most outrageous one is the last one. What the hell is the body protection function of Liuwei Dihuang Pills?

"Am I, Old Shen, that kind of weak person?" Shen Lang patted his waist in dissatisfaction!

"Hiss..." My waist, which had been sore due to being bedridden, is no longer sore. Not only is it no longer sore, but I feel like my veins are bulging and my muscles are bulging. I haven't felt so energetic in many years.

Really, I have a lever that can move the earth at any time!

Shen Lang finally developed some favorable impression towards this system.

It was very strong originally, and now it is simply invincible. I have nothing more to say. I just give a thumbs up to Laolu’s system.

Maybe it's feeling appreciated.

The system unlocks new features at night, the host data panel!

[Host: Shen Lang]

[Age: 38 years old]

[Appearance: 69, past its prime, nothing good except greasy!] [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: [Intermediate villain acting skills]*1, [Vulture]*1, [Liuwei Dihuang Pills for body protection]*1. ]

hiss……

I feel that in addition to telling the truth, this system also looks down on people to a certain extent.

Putting aside other things, my appearance was still very good back then, okay?

"Ding, host, you also said it was back then. If nothing else, just look at your greasy hair now. Do you still feel a little elegant?"

"Of course……"

Just as he was about to start a quarrel with Lao Lu, Shen Lang exclaimed, "It's over. I came out in such a hurry that I didn't even wash my hair. It's over, it's over..."

But it was too late. When Shen Lang found Imperial City Film and Television, a male staff member led him to the audition office.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Lang's figure attracted the attention of all the women present.

"Isn't that Kong Jiawen? Why is he here?"

"I saw his calves were cramping!"

"Why when I think of him, I think of the scene where Kong Jiawen tore Xiu'er's clothes in the old house. It was so scary. Could he be a pervert?"

"Appearance reflects the heart. Look at his face, he is obviously a bad guy!"

……

At this time, Shen Lang was still unaware of the [unwarranted attacks] and [wanton slander] he was receiving from the women at the scene.

At this time, he was discussing the role with the director and the producer of the film.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen had signed with Mr. Gu's studio. When I heard that you were coming, I couldn't believe my ears!"

"Yes, Mr. Shen, you must be more experienced than others in playing villains, right?"

"Teacher Shen, this is what we want for this character. He should look gentle on the outside, but actually be sinister and vicious. This is similar to the role you played before..."

"That's right, Director Ning said too much. Teacher Shen, you are the most suitable to play the gentleman villain!"

……

What the hell
Is this a compliment?
Why do I feel insulted?

Shen Lang's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

Just for life, for a few pieces of silver...

Forget it, let’s just read the script.

In fact, he had watched "All or Nothing" in his previous life and was familiar with the character of Lu Bingkun in the film.

Because they were all villains, he even tried to get into the role in front of the mirror at home.

I didn't expect that even after traveling through time, I could still use those experiences.

However, suddenly, many details about the study of the script emerged in Shen Lang's mind.

Some places that are easily overlooked refreshed in his mind like barrages.

Half an hour later, Director Shen Ao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, time is running out, let's get started!"
