The More Tragic I Act, the Stronger I Get — My Fans Beg Me to Stop Killing Off My Roles-Chapter 8: The Top Male God Has Arrived? My Aquaman Scanner Got a Beat!
The day after tomorrow, as soon as he entered the filming set, Lin Wan's assistant was already waiting for him early.
From the moment Jiang Ci handed the signed contract to Lin Wan's assistant.
He was officially a signed artist of Spark Media, a genuine contracted performer.
Jiang Ci keenly sensed that the atmosphere was completely different from the previous days.
The crew members from set operations, lighting, and props departments would actively nod and smile when they saw him, some even enthusiastically calling out "Good morning, Teacher Jiang!"
Jiang Ci felt somewhat uncomfortable with this sudden treatment.
"Teacher Jiang? I'm twenty-two, and you look about two years older than me. You can just call me Little Jiang." He scratched his head at an older crew member, looking completely sincere.
The older guy laughed: "That wouldn't be appropriate! Everyone knows about you now - you performed a scene that made Screenwriter Lin cry! Amazing!"
Jiang Ci could only respond with an awkward chuckle.
He walked up to the director, but before he could speak, the director who had been yelling through a megaphone turned around and immediately switched to a smiling face upon seeing him.
"Jiang Ci's here! Quick, quick, where's the makeup artist? Hurry and get our 'General' into makeup! You have an important scene today!"
Pushed into the makeup chair, he looked at his slightly flushed face in the mirror - a result of his good mood - and pondered.
He had read the script and knew there were two more scenes to film.
One was where the young general gets hit by multiple arrows, beats the war drum on the city tower to boost morale, and dies from exhaustion. The other was the princess recalling in a dream how the general taught her to ride horses.
He currently had 72 points of Heartbreak Value in his account, with a life balance of 17 days.
He needed to seize every opportunity to stock up on supplies!
Just as he was thinking about how to make today's scene even more tear-jerking, sudden commotion came from the outskirts of the set.
"Holy crap! Isn't that Lu Yifeng?"
"Which Lu Yifeng? That A-list top star, the national heartthrob Lu Yifeng?"
"Who else could it be! Oh my god, why is he at our set?"
"Look at those several nanny vans behind him! Damn, what a spectacle! He must be visiting someone!"
"He must be visiting Actress Su! Weren't there rumors they've been in contact?"
Lu Yifeng? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Jiang Ci remembered this name.
A figure at the very top of the entertainment industry pyramid, peaking from debut, with an impeccable face, famously known for his gentle gentlemanly public image, and possessing a terrifyingly massive fan base.
Simply put, the kind of superstar who could cause traffic jams within a ten-mile radius just by walking down the street.
Jiang Ci was also curious, craning his neck to look outside.
He saw a group of black-suited bodyguards clearing the way, escorting a man in white casual wear as he entered.
The man was very tall with excellent body proportions, wearing sunglasses but still unable to conceal his overwhelming handsomeness.
A perfectly measured smile played on his lips, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Many young female crew members couldn't help but start squealing softly.
Jiang Ci pursed his lips.
He was genuinely handsome, no denying that. But this kind of entourage was way too exaggerated.
The director, seeing the newcomer, finished filming the current scene and hurried over to greet him.
"Yifeng! What brings you here!"
Lu Yifeng took off his sunglasses, revealing a flawlessly handsome face, his eyes seeming to contain laughter.
"Director Li, you're too kind." His voice was warm and magnetic. "I happened to be shooting a commercial nearby and heard that Su Qingying and Teacher Qin Feng are both here, so I thought I'd drop by for a visit. I hope I'm not disturbing your work?"
His words were perfectly crafted.
He clearly stated his purpose (visiting Su Qingying and senior Qin Feng) while maintaining a humble posture.
Director Li would never say it was a disturbance, his smile so wide the wrinkles on his face deepened: "No disturbance at all!"
Lu Yifeng smiled and gave a meaningful look to his assistant behind him.
The assistant immediately understood, directing people behind them to bring in cart after cart of premium afternoon tea, coffee, and various gifts.
"Just a small token of appreciation to help everyone on the crew relax." Lu Yifeng said gently. "Everyone has worked hard."
"Wow—"
The entire crew erupted in excitement.
"Oh my god! It's custom cake from 'Moonlight Kiss'! One of these costs several thousand, right?"
"And pour-over coffee! This is so generous!"
"Male God Lu is so amazing! He's this good to us crew members too!"
Watching this spectacle, Jiang Ci had only one word in mind: Extravagant.
Was this the power of a top star? Using money to buy goodwill - simple and crude, but extremely effective.
As he was thinking this, he saw Lu Yifeng, surrounded by his entourage, first approach veteran actor Qin Feng who was reading his script in the corner.
Qin Feng was a respected veteran in the industry, notoriously bad-tempered, and famously disliked current popular stars with poor acting skills.
Everyone thought Lu Yifeng was about to get rejected.
Instead, Lu Yifeng respectfully bowed.
"Teacher Qin, hello, I'm Lu Yifeng. I watched your performances even before I entered the industry. You're the senior I respect the most."
His attitude was extremely humble, his eyes filled with undisguised respect.
Qin Feng lifted his eyelids to look at him, and his stern face actually showed a rare hint of softening as he nodded: "Hmm, not bad, young man. Quite well-mannered."
After handling the most difficult Qin Feng, Lu Yifeng approached another lead actor, award-winning actress Zhao Xueling.
Zhao Xueling was smiling as she accepted a cake from her assistant, her eyes lighting up when she saw Lu Yifeng.
"Oh my, isn't this our big star! What brings you to our 'small' set?"
"Sister Xueling, please don't tease me." Lu Yifeng's smile was perfectly measured. "I'm your loyal fan - I watched your drama 'Shadow Spy' three times last year. Your acting was absolutely incredible."
With just one sentence, he made Zhao Xueling beam with joy, her gaze toward Lu Yifeng becoming much warmer.
Jiang Ci watched from the side, utterly stunned.
This guy was definitely a social expert!
In just a few minutes, he had charmed the two most senior actors on set. His emotional intelligence was maxed out.
After completing all this, Lu Yifeng finally seemed to remember his "main target."
His gaze cut through the crowd, precisely landing on Su Qingying, who was sitting alone on the other side with her cool, detached aura.
Jiang Ci also became interested, holding the yogurt his assistant had just handed him, preparing to watch the show with righteous anticipation.
A top star pursuing an award-winning actress - this drama was way more exciting than the script.
He watched as Lu Yifeng, with his signature flawless smile, stepped step by step toward Su Qingying's direction.
Fifty meters.
Forty meters.
Thirty meters.
Jiang Ci sipped his yogurt while mentally counting down.
Just as Lu Yifeng's figure was about to reach Su Qingying's location...
In Jiang Ci's mind, the Player Identification Halo activated without warning!
