Standing outside the studio, Lu Ban, who had just had his script rejected for the sixth time, was stunned.

The words on the classic script that was circulated in his other world suddenly changed, and the string of words was distorted in beautiful lead type.

…the typewriter ticked away without any wind, tapping out a series of neat words: All work and no play makes even clever Jack a fool… huh?

Lu Ban pulled his attention away from the script he had "written" and looked above this paragraph of text.

People were coming and going around the studio, extras in various costumes were coming and going, but the words on the script remained.

It's not an illusion.

Three months after traveling to this world, Lu Ban finally got the golden finger.

Whether before or after the time travel, Lu Ban considered himself to be an ordinary person.

He has no girlfriend, doesn't smoke, only drinks lightly, completes his studies seriously, lives his life step by step, maintains inner peace, does not obsess over winning or losing, does not dwell on troubles, and does not create enemies that keep him awake at night.

Lu Ban felt that there was nothing abnormal about himself.

My only hobby is probably watching movies.

The protagonists in the movie are not ordinary people. Even ordinary people have their own stories.

As an ordinary person, Lu Ban envied them very much.

This is a world that is similar to the previous one, but not the same. Some literary works have disappeared, while some have been completely changed. In Lu Ban's words, it is a "standard plagiarism world."

It's a pity that he doesn't have a golden finger.

Relying on his university knowledge of drama, film and television in his previous life and his remaining memories, he wrote several classic scripts that were popular in the world in the past. It was not because he was full of confidence and ready to make a big splash and reach the pinnacle of entertainment.

It’s simply because Lu Ban likes movies.

He always felt it was a pity if those classic movies could not be seen in this world.

However, his plagiarism behavior hit a wall early on.

First, he wrote the script from memory, so it is not completely consistent.

Secondly, what is popular in another world may not be popular in this world.

In the end, he was just an ordinary graduate.

Even the masterpieces of those online literary masters have to be split up and adapted into a film and television industry by screenwriters. It is difficult for a newbie like Lu Ban to even get started.

After several attempts, Lu Ban finally chose a classic horror or supernatural film script, hoping to attract the director.

Failed.

Why not try some other options?

I'm pretty good-looking, so I'd like to find a rich woman to hang out with, and then ask her to invest in me to make a movie?

It doesn’t seem impossible.

Just as this thought came to his mind, Lu Ban awakened the system.

Good job.

Lu Ban exclaimed, "What a good guy."

He found a place without sunlight and sat down. He spread the script in front of him and pretended to read it, focusing his attention once again on those old-fashioned and inflexible words.

These words are cold. Although they are written in a neat font, they exude a chill.

Just like those novels, when Lu Ban thought about it, the words changed accordingly.

There is no property panel, but a line of text.

【Start setting】

“Is there a guide for beginners in this system?”

Lu Ban thought to himself and gently touched the line of text with his index finger.

Like a swirling mist, the words changed shape.

【Choose a career】

After these four words, a large string of densely packed words suddenly exploded from the script in Lu Ban's hand.

He subconsciously leaned back, and only the cold wall gave him a sense of reality.

Lu Ban looked at the words carefully and found that they were all names of occupations.

There are common ones like [actors], [programmers], and [reporters], as well as less common ones like [private detectives], [librarians], [archaeologists], and even such bizarre professions as [folklorist], [fraudster], and [embalmer].

Wherever his eyes swept, the names of these professions changed, and some synonymous or near-synonymous profession names popped up next to them, squeezing out the other profession names next to them, as if they had their own will, persuading Lu Ban to make a choice.

Is this about choosing your own career?

Without any explanation, Lu Ban could only follow his own understanding.

After considering for a moment, he chose the profession of "director", because it includes the professions of screenwriter, writer, and creator. From the perspective of plagiarism, this is definitely the best.

Just as the tentacles of his mind confirmed this profession, Lu Ban saw the dazzling text disappear, and in its place was something similar to an attribute panel on the script.

[Name: Lu Ban]

【Occupation: Director】

【Education: Bachelor’s degree】

[Strength: 55]

【Constitution: 65】

[Size: 60]

[Agility: 70]

[Appearance: 90]

[Intelligence: 65]

[Willpower: 80]

[Education: 70]

[Lucky: 20]

【Sanity: 80】

Below a pile of ordinary personal information is the attribute panel that appears in many novels.

But... why is this property panel a bit strange?

Shouldn't normal be the skill attributes of music, art, and literature?

There is something wrong with this system.

Lu Ban continued to scroll down, but did not find the necessary things for the copywriting system. At the bottom of all the attributes, there was only a confirmation sign.

Yes, there is no exit and no redo, only confirmation.

He rubbed the mark gently.

As the lead-black words appeared one after another, three doors made of oil paintings suddenly appeared side by side in the script in Lu Ban's hand.

"!"

These doors seemed to be made of bronze, heavy, rusty, cold, and exuding an ancient atmosphere. The doors were half open, as if they could be opened with just a push of the hand.

This is obviously just on paper!

Through the crack in the door, Lu Ban could see colorful mist, deep and obscure darkness, and the chaos that distorted everything.

At this moment, Lu Ban felt that the hustle and bustle of the film and television city was moving away from him. The surroundings became quiet as if in a dream. Only the three doors attracted all his attention.

He looked intently, and three paragraphs of text appeared on the door.

【Fellow Traveler】

[When you set out on your journey home at night, do you feel lonely? Don’t be afraid, I’m here to accompany you. 】

This is the text on the leftmost flash of the door. The door is dark in color, and a thick black shadow seeps out from the crack of the door. The ink color is like a tide, beating against the door bit by bit.

Lu Ban looked at the door in the middle. This door gave people a twisted and strange feeling. Just by staring at it, he felt that the intricate and complicated decorations on the door were wriggling.

【Friends Under the Bed】

【After living together for so many years, say hello to your good neighbor. I'm talking about the one under the bed. 】

That's the text on it.

As for the last door, it was surrounded by gray mist, but a rainbow-like light flowed out of the half-open door, making it the most normal door among them.

[The alley of no return]

[It is said that in the noisy neighborhood, there is an alley where you can’t turn back. Go through it bravely! ]

"?"

A question mark appeared above Lu Ban’s head.

There's something wrong with your system?
