Sheng Ai was sacrificed.
Sheng Ai mutated.
Sheng Ai returned.
The CEO Eldest Brother: I have mind reading abilities; nothing you think can hide from me.
Then he went deaf: D...
As an unlucky soul who once lived in the bracelet space for a period of time.
Sheng Jing didn't actually hate prison life that much.
A regular lifestyle, early to bed and early to rise, daily exercise, eating on time, a light diet, no need to work yourself to death, no need to please the public and fans, and can enjoy the breeze, take walks, and watch the sun in the yard every day...
Good.
Because he used to be a big star, he was quite popular in prison...
However, people often sigh when they see him on TV.
"This young heartthrob isn't as tall as you, isn't as handsome, and doesn't act as well as you, so how come he's so popular?"
"What a pity about you. If this hadn't happened, you'd definitely be more famous than him now..."
"Your skit last night was better than his..."
He actually enjoyed the flattery.
After all, he felt that he was better than those young heartthrobs on TV in every way...
However, not long after...
The wind direction is changing.
"This young actor is quite good-looking. Even I, a man, think he's handsome. His acting is also good, especially his eyes, they're very expressive..."
"Don't you guys think he looks like Brother Jing?"
"Looks like Brother Jing? Wow, looking closely, they really do resemble each other by about five or six points. But his eyes are more expressive. When he's not speaking, I can tell what he wants to say just by looking into his eyes..."
"This young heartthrob is amazing. In just six months, he starred as the male lead in two hugely popular idol dramas, instantly transforming from an unknown actor into a top idol..."
"You're in jail, and you still know this person?"
“I didn’t know, but my sister hasn’t come to see me much lately. When I asked her why, she said she’s become obsessed with Zheng Tu and wants to go to the airport to greet him, to support him, and to go to his concerts…”
"By the way, she used to be a fan of Brother Jing. She said that Zheng Tu is a better actor than Brother Jing, and also has a better character..."
Zheng Tu?
Sheng Jing frowned.
Wasn't that the nobody who used to be his stand-in?
He was too busy when he was at the height of his fame.
When filming, for some shots where his face doesn't appear on screen, such as long shots, back views, masked scenes, and fast-paced fight scenes, a stand-in is used.
That's how his team found Zheng Tu.
Zheng Tu not only had similar height, build, and leg length to him, but even their facial features were about 50-60% alike. He was also a former model with good temperament and demeanor, making him a flawless stand-in for him...
Originally, Zheng Tu was doing a good job as his stand-in.
He didn't treat the other party unfairly either, giving them double the industry standard compensation.
But after serving for a while, Zheng Tu suddenly didn't want to continue and said he wanted to go back to acting.
He tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. He got angry on the spot and told him, "Someone like you, with no background, no one to support you, and no professional training, wants to act?"
Stop dreaming!
"Nobody will want you."
However, Zheng Tu remained obstinate and quit his job as a stunt double to film short dramas.
Zheng Tu's behavior angered him.
He ordered his team to shut down this arrogant and ignorant guy.
With his background and connections, blacklisting someone like him who has no backing would be a piece of cake.
And just like that, Zheng Tu disappeared from the industry...
He quickly forgot about this person.
Unexpected.
After serving six months in prison, he actually heard this name on television and from other prisoners.
He leaned closer, unconvinced, and asked, "Is he really that famous?"
"He's really famous."
Several prisoners said so.
“When my mom came to visit me, she was watching Zheng Tu’s drama on her phone, and she was talking to me while watching it…”
"When we went out to work, we saw huge advertisements for him on the billboards along the roadside. He looked so handsome in the photos..."
"When I went to see the doctor, I overheard two female doctors talking, saying that Zheng Tu was simply an upgraded version of Sheng Jing, a step above Sheng Jing in every aspect, and had the potential to become a top star or even a future movie king..."
"By the way, the role of the Imperial Advisor that Brother Jing had previously agreed to has been taken by Zheng Tu..."
"I also heard from my sister that all of Jing Ge's fans have gone to support Zheng Tu..."
...
Sheng Jing was consumed by a mixture of anger and jealousy.
How dare a mere extra, who is only fit to carry his shoes and be his stand-in, replace him?
[system!]
[Calling the system!]
He called the system in his mind over and over again.
Although he has already gone to jail, all the works in which he starred and participated have been taken down, and he will probably never be able to return to the entertainment industry in this lifetime, the system has not appeared for a long time.
But he hasn't unlinked himself from the system yet.
He remains the host of the system.
Furthermore, as far as he knew, in situations where the host and the system were bound together, they were bound together for both prosperity and adversity.
He's retired from the entertainment industry and can't be a star anymore. He'll be punished for failing the system task, right?
Therefore, he felt that the system would not easily abandon him.
Several minutes passed.
The system's voice appeared, listless and lacking enthusiasm.
[Oh, it's you! I also needed to talk to you about something.]
[You go first.]
Sheng Jing couldn't help but ask a question.
Who is the most popular young male celebrity in the entertainment industry right now?
"[Of course it's Zheng Tu.]" The system replied with a hint of pride. "[He's the most handsome rising star in the industry, good-looking, talented, hardworking, humble, and morally upright. Everyone who works with him praises him.]"
Sheng Jing felt very uncomfortable listening to this, his voice tinged with sourness.
