Chapter 2 The first character card, Chu Yuanqing.
Jiang Huai started making up stories: "No, but I have always had a dream of being on stage since I was a child. I really want to be on stage myself, so I often practice in front of the mirror and keep trying..."
Sang Hong interrupted him: "No one asked you this. You don't have any contracts with other companies at the moment, right?"
"No."
She nodded: "Any black material?"
"A good young man with a good family background. He is bright and cheerful. He never does bad things."
"Okay then." Sang Hong picked up a contract from the table, paused to think for a few seconds, and then changed to another one. "If there is no problem, we can sign the contract now. If you want to find a lawyer to take a look, you can make an appointment in a few days."
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment.
The process he went through in his previous life was much more complicated than this, with a total of four rounds of interviews. After all, Jingming Media is the top company in the industry, so there is no shortage of new trainees. In the end, the person in front gave up, and he entered the company through the waitlist.
I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. We could even sign the contract on the spot?
The system immediately displays: [No need to find a lawyer, I'll take care of it. Just leave it to me. ]
"Let's see now." Jiang Huai said, "Can I take the contract and call the lawyer?"
We also cannot let Jingming Media think that they are easy to control and sign the contract immediately, so we still have to invent a lawyer and pretend to ask them.
Sang Hong waved her hand casually: "Go ahead. Just don't leave this building."
"Sister Sang, he must have practiced at another company before." Jiang Huai had just taken the contract out when the man next to him asked, "Why did you terminate the contract with the previous company? What if the previous company has some dirt on him? Are you really going to reconsider it?"
Sang Hong said calmly, "There's no need. With his ability and the platform of Produce Producer, he will definitely become popular. If he becomes popular, his fans will naturally help to cover up the trivial issues. If there is too much negative information, we can just terminate the contract with him, and he will have to pay us a penalty for breach of contract."
Moreover, she has always had an accurate eye for people. Jiang Huai has an indescribable pure temperament, Sang Hong thought.
Nothing will go wrong.
[Can this lawyer be used as a cover?] Jiang Huai suddenly had an idea, [Although it is not useful for the talent show for the time being, if there is a lawsuit in the future, there may be a chance to stir it up, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork.]
The system is shocked: [You are so quick to learn. But you can take this opportunity to learn about the process of creating a vest. I will help you connect the cheating module first.]
The employees who were walking around in the Jingming Media Building suddenly stopped. The colors of the world around them turned black and white, and time stopped for them at this moment.
The role-playing module then unfolds. This time it is not as fancy as the previous cheat code mall, and the entire interface is extremely simple.
The heart moves as it pleases, Jiang Huai opens the host's situation.
【Name: Jiang Huai
Age: 18

Current rating: E
Binding System: Entertainment Industry Counterattack System No. 819
Number of characters unlocked: 0 (details)
Number of new roles that can be created: 1 (details)
Number of characters that can be operated simultaneously: 1]
[Here we go! Let me explain it to you. The more popular you are, the higher your rating will be, and the more new characters you can create.]
[You can only create a new character now. Don't worry. Once you sign the contract with Jingming Media, you will be upgraded to D-level and can create another one. It is actually quite rare for you to start at E-level. ]
[…Thank you. Could you please not slander me while explaining? ]
[I'm just telling the truth, how can it be called slander? This system is not that bad. Let me continue. The bottom line means that you can only operate one avatar at the same time, but it does not affect the normal actions of your main body.]
[For example, if the number of characters you can operate at the same time is 2, and you now have vest A and vest B, you can play Landlord with yourself, vest A, and vest B. Do you understand? ]
[I understand. Can I create a new character now?]
【Okay, you go in. 】
【New Role Card
Name: (Random)
Gender: (random)
Age: (random)
Background introduction: (Join the node)]
[It is recommended not to randomize anything except the name... In fact, it is best not to randomize the name. You only need to set some key nodes for this background story, and the rest of the details will be automatically filled in. ]
[For example, if you want to create a new lawyer character, you need to set what kind of personality he has, what kind of background led to his personality, how he knows your original body, and why he is willing to help you. Any questions? ]
[Yes. If the lawyer goes to work every day, do I still need to manipulate him to go to work?]
[I am the most advanced system, so I have intelligent AI hosting services, but I cannot give you the wages I earn from work. Otherwise, I will become free labor and you will become a capitalist. ]
[…Why did you choose me as your host? ]
[How should I know? Maybe it's because you are the protagonist of the novel. This kind of question is meaningless. You just need to work hard to make a comeback and become popular again.]
[You said in the last chapter that this article has no meta elements... What if I just lie down and start? ]
[Then I will punish you. It will be electric shocks at first. If you get used to it and still insist on not trying to turn red, the punishment will gradually increase, and you may die in the end. How is it? Are you looking forward to it? ]
[No expectations, thank you. I will work hard. ]
[Then start creating your first lawyer role card. Do you have any inspiration? ]
Inspiration? Jiang Huai thought of his first TV series, "I'm Thinking of You Tonight".
"I'm Thinking of You Tonight" tells an ordinary urban love story.
The male protagonist He Zhou, a lawyer, and the female protagonist Xuan Shu, a financial analyst, met each other because of business dealings in an IPO merger and acquisition case. The two did not get along well and disliked each other when they first met, but because of work they had to frequently contact each other, and gradually began to understand each other, starting with recognizing each other's professional abilities, and step by step learned to respect and fall in love.
By the middle of the plot, the two were aware of their feelings for each other, but they maintained the tacit understanding of adults and did not point it out directly.
Until something unexpected happened in the merger and acquisition case, which involved a conflict of interest between the two parties, the two had to temporarily put aside their personal feelings and work with all their strength from their own standpoints.
After a lot of struggle and effort, the merger was successfully completed. At the celebration banquet, He Zhou and Xuan Shu were surrounded by the crowd and drank separately. Their eyes occasionally met but they quickly avoided each other. They tacitly and realistically decided to end their relationship here.
At the end, the hero and heroine are sitting alone in their single offices after being promoted, working overtime. They look at each other with smiles across the dim lights of half the city.
A standard and realistic urban romance drama, the ending of "be" is naturally a good one, but not a good one. Although the ratings are good, it is not a classic, and it quietly fell into obscurity three months after it was aired.
However, the character of He Zhou is still very desirable. He was born in a poor family, and was admitted to a well-known law school through his own efforts. He worked hard from his freshman year to his senior year, and before graduation, he received a return offer from a well-known law firm, and started working diligently. He is a typical grassroots fighter.
Associating yourself with a character like this...is actually very simple.
The neighbor brother, who also came from a grassroots background, grew up together until he lost contact due to an accident and moved away. Many years later, the two met by chance and regarded each other as witnesses of their childhood memories, and they are still friends.
But it should be given a new name.
Although "I'm Thinking of You Tonight" has ended, He Zhou and Xuan Shu are still the official couple. They didn't even change their names and used them as their own pseudonyms. They might even sell homosexuality in the future, which always feels a bit weird.
Like the male mistress who secretly writes romance novels... he will definitely be scolded! And he definitely deserves to be scolded!
Jianghuai clicks on random and generates with one click.
Chu Yuanqing. Very good! Why does the system say that this random function is not useful?
[You are lucky this time. You will behave yourself next time if you are randomly given an unpleasant name. So it is generated like this? How old are you? ]
Jiang Huai thought about it. He was 18 this year. Chu Yuanqing didn't have to become a barrister now, but at least he had to start working.
【26, right?】
The eight-year age difference is not too outrageous, and we can barely say that they are brothers who can play together, no problem.
【Character Card
Name: Chu Yuanqing
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Background: My neighbor brother in childhood, now working as a slave in a law firm. Come on, slave! 】
[Okay! Now you can use the role card, try it out! ]
The world regained its color, and the motionless pedestrians began to move. He was still in the Jingming Media building. Jiang Huai came back to his senses and took out his cell phone, which had Chu Yuanqing's number automatically saved in it.
He dialed the number and activated Chu Yuanqing's character card at the same time. He experienced the subtle feeling of operating the left-right split screen of the vest and began to talk to himself.
"Xiao Huai? Why did you call me suddenly? What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you free now? I have a contract here and I want you to help me take a look."
"Sure. Just scan it and send it to me."
...It's so weird that he controls his own avatar and talks to himself! Now it's just a phone call, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to be gay in the talent show later! It's totally schizophrenic!
The system snorted coldly: [Who told you to choose this golden finger? You deserve it. ]
[I have read the contract, there is no problem. This is a special contract, compared with your previous life, many clauses are more relaxed, and there are many preferential policies. You did perform very well just now, it seems that Jingming Media really wants to sign you this time. ]
[Is it better than the last time when you were on the waitlist and barely made it in? How does it feel to have a system in your new life? Is it better than your previous life? ]
Jiang Huai hummed: [It's pretty good, but my previous life wasn't that bad. Although I'm not popular, the money I earn is enough for me to live on, and I still have a few fans who really like me. I don't know if they will be sad to see me die. Alas.]
[…You are really open-minded. Have you never felt that it is unfair that you work so hard and have excellent conditions, but some people who are inferior to you in every way are more popular than you? ]
[Being famous depends on fate. Even if I am a nobody, it is much easier to make money in the entertainment industry than for workers. You are a system, don't be infected with the bad habits of human greed. ]
[You think like this, so you never play the victim, so you didn’t abuse your fans during the talent show, so you could only rely on the company to make a debut, so you later became a nobody. Host, if you don’t fight for resources, your resources will be taken away by others. If you don’t harm others, others may harm you. This is the real world.]
[Being realistic doesn’t mean you should take the initiative to attack others. Moreover, now that I have the golden finger, I think that the original intention and red can coexist more easily. ]
What if you can only choose one of these two?
[…Then I will choose the former. ]
[Even if I punish you? ]
[Even if I am punished by you. ]
[Ha,] the system laughed, and Jiang Huai felt that he could hear some relief in the electronic sound, [No wonder you became my host. It's almost time, go back and sign.]
