Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...In fact, if the system didn't actually lack supernatural abilities like "flying over rooftops and scaling walls," Xiao He would have really wanted to try out some light-footed skills.
He also wanted to experience the legendary "protagonist-level" treatment of flying in the sky with wires chasing behind him.
But realistically... well, there's probably no chance.
Just as Xiao He was looking down and adjusting the wire equipment on his body with the wire harness operator, a commotion suddenly broke out nearby.
Xiao He seemed to sense something and was the first to raise his head and look in that direction—
A group of people crowded around one person as they surged in from the entrance of the film set.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao He thought that Sun Qingqing had not changed her ways and had made a move on Zhang Xiaoyu again.
However, once the others got closer, Xiao He began to see what was going on.
A group of actors and their agents were talking to a portly man as they walked toward them.
"Director Fan, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
"Director Fan, our Sitong has always been very well-behaved. She's been looking forward to working with you for a long time, and I never imagined that this wish would come true today—"
"Director Fan, what are your upcoming filming plans?"
"Director Fan, our artists have been working very hard lately. Could you perhaps talk to Director Yan about this..."
"Director Fan, will you be taking over the filming here next?"
"Director Fan..."
"Director Fan..."
Xiao He: ...
To be honest, this scene was inexplicably absurd and laughable.
It was as if a group of concubines who had gone mad from being confined in the cold palace had finally seen the Empress Dowager return to the palace, and they all rushed forward to complain and beg for the Empress Dowager's support.
To be honest, the film crew wasn't actually that chaotic. Apart from a few troublemakers who were secretly doing things on their own and competing with each other, the filming schedule never fell behind.
Although Yan Shaohan was not good at managing the atmosphere of the crew and the petty thoughts of some people, he was an absolute tyrant during the filming process. He was decisive and the quality of the filming content was quite good. Therefore, the crew of "Yu Ye" was not so troubled that they were waiting for a "savior".
However, for some people with poor acting skills who can only resort to petty tricks, it is indeed a matter of waiting for a "savior".
While talking, Yuan Sitong's agent, Tang Wenjuan, subtly tried to sow discord between Director Yan and Director Fan, walking forward. She chattered on and on until her mouth was dry, but Director Fan remained all smiles, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts. This left Tang Wenjuan feeling utterly frustrated.
What does Director Fan mean by this? Why can't he give a straight answer after all this talk?
Over here, Yan Shaohan also stopped what he was doing. Hearing that the assistant director had completed the task ahead of schedule and returned with his men, he immediately looked up with some surprise and greeted Fan Congwen with a smile: "Hello, Senior Brother Fan! You're finally back? You've worked hard, you've worked hard."
Fan Congwen's smile became more genuine, and he nodded slightly in response to Yan Shaohan: "Junior Brother, it's been a long time. It's quite lively here."
"Senior brother?"
Tang Wenjuan was dumbfounded.
Fan Congwen glanced at her sideways, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Director Yan and I are both students of Director Ning of Peking Opera, so it's normal for me to call him my junior brother, isn't it?"
"Ah, hahaha, I knew Director Yan's shooting style looked familiar, turns out it's Director Ning's style."
Tang Wenjuan could easily tell that he was protecting her, and she awkwardly laughed it off.
Xiao He watched coldly from the sidelines.
Tsk tsk, some people's flattery backfired.
