After the scene ended, Officer Li left with mixed feelings, while Xiao He, relying on his excellent "acting skills," successfully won over the director and stayed on the set.

Meng Lulu calmed down and solemnly apologized to Xiao He: "I'm sorry, Xiao, your acting skills are really good. It was my lack of skill that almost affected your performance."

Xiao He shrugged indifferently: "It's okay."

Being suspected as a "criminal" was his destiny.

Meng Lulu blinked, carefully examining the young man in front of her, and then said, "Xiao is not fierce at all, it's just that his temperament and eyes are too sharp, making him not easy to approach. If Xiao is interested in acting, I suggest he try to adjust that in the future."

Xiao He gave a wry smile: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, Teacher Meng."

Meng Lulu was actually being very tactful; it was more than just sharp—it was downright ruthless!

Xiao He also wanted to change his aura and eyes, but with little success. He could only try to wear sunglasses and a mask to barely conceal his current "criminal temperament".

He was terrified of being reported to the police after just a few steps; he was truly afraid of being arrested!

Taking this opportunity, Xiao He chatted with Meng Lulu for a while and learned about the basic situation of the film crew.

The director's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Xingyuan. He specializes in making idol dramas and has more than 20 works under his name, but none of them have made much of a splash. He is the idol drama assembly line director that is most looked down upon by people in the industry.

What is an idol drama assembly line? It means that idol dramas are filmed according to a fixed process and pattern, just like a factory assembly line. Most of these idol dramas have formulaic plots, stereotypical characters, and themes that deliberately cater to the tastes and trends of the masses. Basically, whatever is popular is filmed, and there is a severe lack of innovation.

The reason for filming "Burning Heart" is that the market was swept by a wave of crime dramas some time ago, so Director Wang also followed the trend and made this idol drama that is disguised as a crime drama but is actually still a romance between the male and female leads.

For example, the fifth male character, played by Xiao He, is already the biggest villain in this idol drama, judging from the plot.

The characters with significant screen time were mostly paired up as couples, satisfying the sweet tastes of various CP fans.

Xiao He: ...So it turns out only "he" was seriously up to something.

But actually, the production team simply didn't have the money to add another romance storyline.

Otherwise, do you think villains don't fall in love?

Wrong! Villains are all driven by dark, love-struck minds!

Idol dramas can't be without romance!

...

The fifth male lead didn't have many scenes; Xiao He stayed on set for two days and finished filming.

Although the male and female leads of the show were also quite frightened by his appearance of killing people with a chainsaw, at least no one called the police to arrest Xiao He.

Otherwise, Xiao He would really want to call the police.

In the end, the serial killer played by Xiao He tries to swing a chainsaw at the female lead, but is shot and killed by the male lead.

As the female protagonist screamed and gunshots rang out in the forest, the serial killer slowly knelt down in front of her, his hand holding the chainsaw falling limply to his side. The chainsaw, which had been buzzing, slowly stopped making noise, just like his life.

The female protagonist, her face streaked with tears, looked up at the serial killer before her, her pupils still reflecting lingering fear. The killer, however, merely gave a mocking smirk, his gaze filled with disdain and deep regret as he looked at her.

Ah, what a beautiful work.

What a pity... we'll never see each other again.

The killer's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. Blood kept gushing from his chest, soaking his dusty white coat in the blink of an eye. The young man's head drooped slightly, and even the gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing on his face hadn't fallen off. He seemed to be just asleep, kneeling there quietly.

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, leaving nothing behind but the heroine's suppressed sobs and the hero's soft, comforting words...
