Because he was too tired, Shen Shiqing got up a little late today.

Awakened by the knocking on the door, Shen Shiqing checked his phone and found it was already eight o'clock.

I usually get up around six or seven in the morning, so I was a bit late today.

Still half asleep, I went to open the door, and Sister Lin walked straight in.

Shen Shiqing gradually came to his senses after seeing Sister Lin's face.

I quickly poured Sister Lin a glass of water and asked her to sit down first, then hurried into the bathroom to wash up.

When Shen Shiqing came out, he noticed that Sister Shui Lin on the table hadn't drunk any water; her eyes were fixed on the paper documents in her hand.

"What are you looking at so intently, Sister Lin?" Shen Shiqing sat down next to Sister Lin and gently nuzzled her shoulder with his head.

"Oh dear, you're not a child anymore, yet you're still so clingy, just like Shi Xia from that show. She clung to you, and now you're following suit and clinging to me too." Although Sister Lin said this, she didn't actually mean to scold you; instead, she seemed to be showing some affection.

"No way, Sister Lin," Shen Shiqing's eyes darted around. "Sister Lin watched the show too, what did you think of my performance?"

Sister Lin found it rather cute to see Shen Shiqing looking at her like a puppy wagging its tail, begging for praise.

"It's alright. I can't pay the bill myself, but the audience has to pay," Sister Lin replied seriously.

Shen Shiqing knew that Sister Lin's words probably meant she was quite satisfied, so she felt relieved.

However, Shen Shiqing really didn't know what Sister Lin was doing coming over so early today.

"What brings you here so early this morning, Sister Lin?" Shen Shiqing leaned closer to Sister Lin and deliberately spoke in a low voice.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Sister Lin pushed Shen Shiqing's face far away with her hand.

"Sure, sure, Sister Lin, you're welcome to visit anytime!"

"However, I did come to see you today because there is something I need to discuss with you."

"Sister Lin, what is it?" Shen Shiqing knew it was probably work-related, so she became serious as well.

"I talked to you about a show yesterday. It's a performance-based variety show. You've heard of 'The Actor's Qualities,' right?"

"You've heard of it, haven't you?" Shen Shiqing replied vaguely.

The book "An Actor's Cultivation" is probably similar to "The Birth of an Actor" in her world.

"I've secured this show for you. But it'll only be for one episode, as a guest star. After all, even though you've gained some fame, you still have too many haters, and the production team is still a bit worried." Sister Lin spoke slowly, occasionally observing Shen Shiqing's expression.

Of course, there's not much to say about Shen Shiqing, since he's considered a risky celebrity based on his previous reputation.

Every program needs to mitigate risks.

However, it's understandable that he is both controversial and popular.

"Hmm, I think it's pretty good. It's good to get some exercise." Shen Shiqing looked at the details of the contract and confirmed that there were no problems.

"Yes, I also want you to practice more. You have a long road ahead of you, and I, Sister Lin, have high hopes for you. It's good to participate in more variety shows now, to get more exposure and maintain your visibility. It's better than being unknown and being criticized." Sister Lin was genuinely thinking about Shen Shiqing's future.

Shen Shiqing signed the contract without saying a word.

"By the way, Sister Lin, what do you think of my acting skills?" Shen Shiqing asked casually, as if she were asking about the weather.

He asked the question with a serious yet innocent expression.

Sister Lin: ...

Shen Shiqing: ……

I understand.

There's nothing more to say.

"How did you have the courage to ask that question, hahahahahahaha?" The usually serious Sister Lin mocked Shen Shiqing, "I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts, haha ​​...

"Sister Lin, please stop your mockery. It's very hurtful and insulting," Shen Shiqing said helplessly.

She shouldn't have brought up this topic.

"Alright, the contract has been signed. There's no script or role yet. You saw it yourself, the contract doesn't specify anything, but I've secretly found out that the theme of the next episode is 'Looking Back at the Classics,' and you'll be playing a small role. No problem." Sister Lin paused and continued, "There's still one day before the recording. Get some rest today, and I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Sister Lin patted Shen Shiqing on the shoulder and got up to leave.

Shen Shiqing lay on the sofa, without saying a word.

She knew that the role she was going to play was a minor one, but that didn't stop her from being heavily criticized and trending on social media in the original book.

After all, a classic is a classic; who can surpass it?

Reinterpreting or remaking a film will be met with criticism, yet countless people still eagerly vie for it like hungry wolves.

However, Shen Shiqing will not allow what happened in the original book to happen again!!!
