I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

In this world of ghost stories, perhaps natives of other professions have no way of knowing how much start-up capital the person in charge will give to the director.

But fellow directors must know that the more capable a director is, the more he understands these things.

Zhang Yangqing waited here for a long time just for this director who wore the same hat as him.

The director's face is gently wrapped by a thick beard. The beard is not messy but carefully trimmed. Each strand reveals the owner's extraordinary taste and artistic temperament.

His appearance reminded Zhang Yangqing of an old saying: "A man without hair on his face cannot do things well."

Indeed, judging from the director's attire, he doesn't look like a novice.

The front desk receptionist could tell at a glance that I was a newcomer, probably because she observed this.

The bearded director has a slightly plump figure, but when he gestures and speaks, his confidence and passion are like a magnetic field, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

He was not talking to Zhang Yangqing. A young and beautiful actress was standing next to the bearded director.

The actress has a slender figure, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, and every little movement she makes exudes endless elegance and charm.

The slender waist looks even more graceful under the tight dress.

Her appearance is impeccable, with delicate facial features as three-dimensional as sculptures and eyes as bright as stars.

The bright red on her lips made her look even more charming.

Although she is not as beautiful as the female star Zhang Yangqing just met, she is also very beautiful.

The two people seemed to be talking about the next scene to be filmed. The bearded director talked incessantly and the beautiful actress listened attentively.

Seeing this, the audience finally realized that Zhang Tianshi wanted to obtain information from the bearded director.

But many people don’t understand how Zhang Tianshi came up with this idea when there is no clue that he could meet a fellow director here.

Hu Liuqi, who had a broken leg, began to explain: Because this is a movie city, there are more than just the Chosen Ones who want to film, and don’t forget Rule 4. If the Chosen Ones go and occupy the place where others want to film in advance, we may be able to get some information here.

Hu Liuqi was particularly serious today because he was supposed to go with Zhang Yangqing, but because of his leg delay, he could only indulge in crazy analysis in front of the big screen.

It's true, but it's only in theory.

Because the bearded director was talking to the beautiful actress about character creation and did not reveal too much information about the plot, Zhang Yangqing did not know where they needed to rent for filming.

The bearded director was going to the 30th floor. When he took the actress out, Zhang Yangqing also followed him out.

When he arrived at the door of the film company head, the bearded director glanced at Zhang Yangqing, and his expression seemed to say: Do you want to go in first?

I have to say, the bearded director is quite polite.

Because he was walking in front, Zhang Yangqing made a 'please' gesture and let him go in first.

The bearded director nodded and walked into the room with the beautiful actress.

This scene was incomprehensible to the audience, because they thought that Zhang Yangqing would definitely ask the director for the news, but Zhang Yangqing didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Could it be that Master Zhang has other motives for doing this?
In fact, the audience was wrong. Zhang Yangqing had already obtained the information he wanted.

As a new director with no experience, if he asked directly for information, then according to the rules of the world of ghost stories, the bearded director would let him complete the task and perhaps ask for something in return.

Otherwise, how could he give Zhang Yangqing the information for free.

So Zhang Yangqing could only observe.

What we need to observe here are the directors who come in from the 1st floor and go to the 30th floor.

Because most of these directors come to ask the person in charge for start-up funds.

As for how they obtained the start-up capital, isn’t it already very obvious?

It’s not the costume or the temperament, but the fact that there are more outstanding actors around.

The head of the film company probably gave the initial funding based on the combined strength of the director and the main actors.

This is the hidden rule that Zhang Yangqing observed. Otherwise, why would the bearded director take the actress to see the person in charge of the film company? Thinking of this, Zhang Yangqing went downstairs to contact some actors.

This one is not difficult to find, there are many actors in the lobby and corridors on the first floor.

Zhang Yangqing observed that those more outstanding actors are always surrounded by agents and bodyguards, which is a symbol of status.

Ordinary actors, on the other hand, tend to be polite when they see the director.

After a general understanding, I found out that these actors also have so-called levels.

They are first-line actors, second-line actors, third-line actors and supporting actors.

A first-line actor is like the glamorous actress Zhang Yangqing met when he first entered the film company.

To be awarded the title of first-line actress, one must have three works that scored 80 points or more and be the male and female protagonists in the movie.

The appearance fee for this type of actor is very high, and most directors cannot afford it.

The fact that they can produce such works is enough to demonstrate their acting skills and strength.

B-list actresses are the kind of actresses that hang around bearded directors.

This type of actor is required to have three works with a score of 70 or above and also be the male and female protagonists in the movie.

Relatively speaking, they will look for some more powerful directors and try to break through 80 points.

As long as third-tier actors have three works that score 60 points or more, they can still be the male and female protagonists in the movie.

The so-called extras don't have so many requirements. Many of them have never even acted in a play. Like the Chosen Ones, they have just reported here.

After hearing this information, Zhang Yangqing understood the general structure of this strange story.

The goal of supporting actors is to become first-line actors, but they normally cannot become leading actors.

Therefore, the best way is to kill the leading actors, so that they will become the leading actors of the film while their roles remain unchanged.

For example, at the filming site that the chosen ones encountered at the beginning, the actor who played the neighbor murderer killed other characters.

Then this movie, which was supposed to bring the murderer to justice, becomes a documentary about the murderer.

When he got to this clue, Zhang Yangqing suddenly understood something.

No wonder at the end of the drama “Country Love: The Love of a Human and a Shemale”, the male protagonist did not go to practice, but to take an exam to become an official.

I guess the director designed it this way because he was afraid that the hero would be killed by the villain.

Or maybe the male protagonist found out that the supporting character was planning to kill him and take over, so he changed the script himself.

Regardless, the film was a huge success.

When contacting these actors, they asked Zhang Yangqing to provide information about their representative works.

When they heard that Zhang Yangqing was a director with no works, almost all the actors lost interest in him.

Zhang Yangqing estimates that some rules for actors are actually similar to those for directors.

For example, if a director's work scores below 50 points, it will be killed directly.

Actors will probably also be evaluated, and if their scores are below a certain point, they will die directly.

Therefore, any actor with a little fame would not discuss cooperation with a director like The Chosen One who has no representative works.

What if I meet a worse director, won’t I be killed?

Only supporting actors might follow the Chosen One and gamble their face, or even their life.
