My Healing Games

Chapter 510 Terrifying Acting Skills Overwhelm (5000 Monthly Tickets Requested)
Back home, Han Fei rested for a while and then started reading, this time focusing on books about plastic surgery and aesthetics.

As midnight approached and the first scene of "The Suspense Novelist" officially began, Han Fei put on the gaming helmet and entered the gaming pod.

The world seemed to freeze in crimson. Han Fei looked into the distance of the city and saw the crimson figure that had run out from the depths of the city stop on a building. It did not continue forward. The connection between him and his target seemed to have disappeared.

Before Han Fei could even look around after opening his eyes, a system notification appeared in his mind.

"Attention player number 0000! Your pet, Daemon, is on the verge of death. Please feed it blood as soon as possible to help it share the burden of the curse!"

After the notification sound disappeared, Han Fei immediately took out Yinghuo's phone and saw Haha's message. He then realized that Da Nie had returned!

This lawless monster was beaten to the point of near death, until it had no strength left to struggle, at which point Bai Sinian was able to get close and drag it back.

According to the information sent by Haha, Bai Sinian crawled out of Paradise Lost while carrying Da Nie on her back; it's quite a sight to see a pet riding on a person.

They have now been rescued by the Mirror God and are under the protection of a level three shrine.

"How dare you harm my great sinner?" Han Fei didn't know who the murderer was, but he remembered this grudge.

Han Fei called his neighbors, and they prepared to head to the department store together.

But before that, he had to do something else.

Sensing Tie Nan and Yan Tang's location through the fog, Han Fei quietly found them and followed them, observing them for a while.

Iron Man's mental state had reached its limit; he was extremely desperate and helpless, and even began to try to commit suicide and leave the map.

Yan Tang's situation is much better. He maintains curiosity about everything, keeps trying, keeps failing, but never gets discouraged. He is indeed a rare talent. Apart from having a relatively low luck value, he has no flaws.

Han Fei secretly followed them, hiding in the mist. When Tie Nan tried to open the door again, he used his Soul Return talent on Tie Nan.

The numb Iron Man had no time to react before he was pushed into the Gates of Hell and left the Deep World.

"Now only Yan Tang is left. Can this young man, whose information even Li Xue couldn't find, persevere in such despair?"

Because he valued her, Han Fei left Yan Tang until the end. He believed that all the pain and despair he felt now would become Yan Tang's future wealth, and Huang Ying had already proven that Han Fei's training system was sound.

"Let's go to the department store."

Avoiding the plastic surgery clinic, Han Fei and his group followed the alleyway between several areas to the shopping mall.

As soon as Han Feiren entered the mall, he heard a strange noise coming from underground, and a huge black shadow tore through the ground and crashed into him.

"Oh!"

With his health dropping to the danger level and also poisoned by the soul poison, Han Fei clutched his sunken chest, looked at the excited black shadow, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A familiar, soul-piercing sensation came from the wound, and Han Fei lay on the ground, stunned and unable to get up for a long time.

"What a terrible thing!"

The neighbors didn't dare to approach the dark figure, and in the end, Xu Qin helped Han Fei up and handed him some freshly cooked meat.

"Building manager, I have successfully brought back the great evil spirit." Bai Sinian crawled out of the gap in the ground. His security guard uniform was tattered and his body was full of cracks, but the yin energy emanating from his soul was many times stronger than before.

After eating the meat Xu Qin had prepared, Han Fei waited for his health to recover before continuing forward. He looked at the nearly five-meter-long black shadow in front of him and could hardly recognize it anymore.

"A great calamity?"

As his voice rang out, the black shadow began to move toward him with all its might, as if trying to run around Han Fei a few times.

"How did you become like this?" Han Fei reached out and touched Da Nie's head.

"Attention player number 0000! You have been infected with a potent soul poison! Please seek treatment immediately!"

Ignoring the system's prompts, Han Fei squatted down in front of the Great Demon and examined it carefully.

After a long absence, the Great Demon's size had grown to five meters, and its appearance no longer resembled that of an insect; it looked more like a demonic phantom lying on the ground.

The Great Evil and the Butterfly embarked on two different paths. The Butterfly continuously absorbed and manipulated human nature, striving to become human; while the Great Evil absorbed the most violent and brutal elements of the deep world, constantly developing in the direction of a demon.

"I wonder what it has been eating all this time. It just broke through, and now it's showing signs of breaking through again." The Mirror God walked out of the shrine, looked at the hole made by the Great Evil, and said very seriously, "Han Fei, you should get rid of this thing as soon as possible. It seems to be being watched by the Unspeakable. It will only be safe if it is hidden in the mist."

"Are you sure it's not because you're afraid it will destroy the mall?" After touching Da Nie, Han Fei checked Da Nie's attributes. Its talent had been enhanced, the death intent contained in its body had multiplied many times, and its loyalty had also increased. "Bai Sinian, what have you two been doing along the way? Why have you and Da Nie's strength increased so much?"

"I didn't do anything much." Bai Sinian scratched her head and recounted her encounter on the way: "You told me to take good care of Da Nie, so to prevent Da Nie from getting lost, I tied myself to it. At first, everything was normal, but after we left the dead building area, Da Nie seemed to have discovered something, and it broke away from the group. I originally wanted to stop it, but as you saw, I was more like its pet."

"And then?" Mirror God also became interested.

"The Great Demon has a special fondness for shrines, and it also has a special ability to steal things from them. So it took me with it, searching for shrines and causing destruction as we went. We quickly crossed the plastic surgery hospital and the amusement park, and entered the deeper parts of the city."

“It’s far more terrifying there than where we are now. Emotions and obsessions have turned into ghosts. I’m terrified, but the Great Evil is getting more and more excited. I encountered five shrines in total, and the Great Evil destroyed four of them. When it destroyed the fifth shrine, it was seen by the Unspeakable Eyes.” Bai Sinian straightened her tattered uniform. “Then we started running away, first heading deeper into the area, and finally circling back here. The Great Evil is very fast, and almost no resentment can catch it, but perhaps because it stole something from the Unspeakable Eyes, its death aura is growing stronger, and the Unspeakable Eyes’ curse on it is slowly taking effect.”

"You guys are really fierce, daring to destroy even five shrines at once?" Mirror God felt his scalp tingle just listening to it: "Can you just eat whatever you want from the shrines? Some things might even contain unspeakable memories, their cherished obsessions."

"Since we've already eaten it, it's too late to talk about this now." Han Fei decided to send the Great Evil back into the mist first, as the mist emanating from his shrine could block out unspeakable perceptions.

“You underestimated the importance of the shrine to the Unspeakable. The Unspeakable has already come after us, and I can occasionally sense the Unspeakable’s gaze.” The Mirror God advised, “At least until the Great Abomination can suppress the curse, don’t leave the mist, and don’t cause trouble for the plastic surgery hospital. Wait until we get through this period.”

“Alright, then let’s keep a low profile for now and take down the plastic surgery hospital in one fell swoop once we’ve accumulated enough strength.” Han Fei looked at the Great Evil beside him. This symbol of calamity had devoured something unspeakable and had also gained great benefits.

Once the Great Evil suppresses the curse and digests the unspeakable things placed in the shrine, it will become a great help to Han Fei.

Several neighbors carried Da Nie on their backs, and the moment they left the department store, black flames began to burn on Da Nie's body.

The fire was impossible to extinguish; it only targeted the Great Evil, and soon its body was scalded with hideous scars.

Not daring to linger, everyone rushed to send the Great Evil back to the Dead Building.

Strangely enough, as soon as they entered the mist, the black flames on Da Nie's body went out automatically. It looked at Han Fei pitifully and finally became a little more obedient.

"If you run around like that again next time, I won't be able to save you."

The curse on Da Nie came from an unspeakable source, and Xu Qin had no way to suppress it except by letting it slowly do so on its own.

After settling Da Nie in, Han Fei, accompanied by his neighbors, left the misty area and searched for a G-level quest in the alleys where several areas intersected.

"The quests around here are getting harder and harder to trigger. I'm only level 19, and I haven't even obtained my second official profession yet."

The hidden class Midnight Butcher brought Han Fei a qualitative boost, and he was also looking forward to his next hidden class: "Level 20 is a watershed moment for me, but unfortunately leveling up is too difficult."

After completing the mission, Han Fei returned to the Dead Tower. He had been secretly observing Yan Tang for a long time, and after confirming that Yan Tang was far from reaching her limit, he found a safe place to log off.

Pressing the exit button, Han Fei instantly detached from his consciousness and looked at the blood-red city. To his surprise, he found that the blood-red figure was even closer to them!

"Was it attracted by the curses on Da Nie's body?"

Stealing food from the shrine can certainly boost one's strength quickly, but it also comes at a price.

"The Great Demon can freely enter and exit the shrine. If I do the shrine inheritance quest again, it will definitely be of great help! As long as I get through this hurdle, things should be much easier for me in the future."

As his consciousness left his body, Han Fei opened his eyes.

He took off his gaming helmet and fell asleep inside the gaming pod.

I don't know how much time passed, but sunlight shone into the room.

Han Fei groggily climbed out of the game pod. He opened his phone and saw dozens of unread messages and more than a dozen missed calls.

"What's going on? Has the secret of the deeper world been exposed?"

Quickly regaining his senses, Han Fei checked everyone's contact information: Huang Ying, Li Xue, Director Jiang—it seemed like everyone who had his contact information had sent him a message.

Huang Ying: "I completely forgot you were an actor! Did a spider possess your body and bring you back to life?! This acting is so realistic!"

Zhuang Ren: "You are a natural horror movie actor. I have been a director for more than 30 years and I have never seen such an excellent role."

Li Xue: "I've always felt that no matter how realistic a movie is, it can't compare to real life. Your acting is really outrageous. By the way, you should come to the police station to file a report when you have time. Our leader called me overnight after watching your movie. He's a little worried that you might go down the path of crime in the future. He even said that if you become a criminal, you will definitely be the most terrifying criminal in the history of Shanghai."

Zhan Lele: "Congratulations, boss! You've soared to new heights!"

Director Jiang: "You've taken another step closer to your dream. I knew you could do it!"

As Han Fei read the messages, his heart warmed. He realized that so many people in the world had begun to care about him.

After reading the message, Han Fei checked the missed calls. Just five minutes earlier, Bai Xian and Director Zhang had each called him.

"It's already dawn, they must have stayed up all night, right?" Han Fei thought for a moment before calling Director Zhang.

The phone was answered after only a few rings, and music came through the microphone.

"Han Fei! Why are you only just waking up! Come on! Let's celebrate together!"

"Celebrating what?"

"Look at the box office charts, then look at the movie ratings, and finally look at the online reviews of you! I'm really good at judging people! You're definitely going to be a movie star someday, I'm telling you this!" Director Zhang is a veteran director in the industry. He usually only attends more formal occasions or some private gatherings, and rarely drinks all night with actors like he did today.

Han Fei closed the call and opened the real-time box office rankings to check them out.

It's 9:30 a.m., and "The Suspense Novelist" is ranked second on the real-time box office chart with 51 million in revenue, breaking the real-time box office record for suspense and thriller films!
"One-Third of a Comedy," which had pre-sale box office revenue more than 10 million yuan higher than "The Novelist," is now only 4 million yuan higher than "The Novelist."

Most importantly, the movie ratings are also a factor. After just one night of release, the rating for "One-Third Comedy" dropped from 9.9 to 9.1 and is still declining at a slow pace.

The rating for "The Suspense Novelist" is a bit outrageous. After a whole night, the rating is still 9.9!

A box office and critical success!
Han Fei gained nearly 500,000 followers overnight. He contributed several textbook-level classic scenes in "The Suspense Novelist". The hashtag "Han Fei and Spider" even made it into the national trending search list last night.

The influence of offline films is much greater than that of online films. Although Han Fei only played a supporting role this time, his character was the central axis of the nine actors, and he supported the backbone of the entire film! In the past, people like him were usually called veteran actors.

Han Fei's acting skills have been recognized by everyone this time, and he has also completed a complete transformation through this film.

Looking at that online poll about outstanding young actors, it's utterly ridiculous.

Not only Bai Cha, but no one among his peers could compare to Han Fei in acting skills.

If they were to act opposite Han Fei, they would probably be so overwhelmed by Han Fei's aura that they wouldn't be able to utter a word.

Facts speak louder than words; the difference in acting skills between the two sides is so great that even a layman can easily see it.

Underneath the original post where people were betting on who would be the best actor this year, some have started voting again after watching the two movies.

"I've seen both of their movies, and honestly, this is not even in the same league."

"I also wanted to consider Bai Cha's feelings, but after watching the movie, an idiom came to my mind—'a mantis trying to stop a chariot.'"

"The character played by Han Fei gave me the feeling that he was the character himself, and only he could play this role; no one else could."

"Bai Cha's portrayal of the student was acceptable, but only average, nothing special. I strongly recommend everyone go to the theater to see it for themselves; the movie 'The Suspense Novelist' will shock you! Especially the very last moment!"

"I can't believe I used to think they were acting at the same level. I'm really ashamed to be a film critic. I know you don't believe me, and I won't give you any spoilers, but I'll just give you a small example."

"Both films feature scenes of actors displaying anger. When Bai Cha is enraged, it's an uncontrollable outburst, while Han Fei's anger burns slowly within him. You can feel the static tension; his emotions surge from within. When his anger truly erupts, he's like a rising flame!"

If you randomly pick some clips from the two movies, Han Fei's portrayal of Spider perfectly embodies the character in every movement. Bai Cha's acting is also quite good, but it's far inferior to Han Fei's.

Some netizens who haven't had a chance to see the movie yet feel that those people are exaggerating a bit. They are still supporting Bai Cha, but Bai Cha hasn't given any response.

Many netizens, eager for drama, left messages on Bai Cha's page, asking for his opinion on the claim that his acting was inferior to Han Fei's. Meanwhile, Bai Cha's moderators began deleting posts and controlling comments.

On the online poll for outstanding young actors, Han Fei's votes began to surge, but strangely, just as Han Fei was about to catch up with his opponent, the website announced that voting was suspended three hours early due to technical reasons.

Technical reasons are understandable; in fact, there's no need for selection anymore to determine who the truly outstanding young actors are.

Han Fei's social media following is growing rapidly, and his ranking on the actor popularity list is also rising steadily. He is about to be officially promoted to a third-tier actor.

Seeing the overwhelming discussion online, Han Fei could understand Director Zhang's feelings.

Several films were released at the same time, but "The Suspense Novelist" clearly overshadowed the other films in terms of buzz and popularity.

When Zhang Yimou first directed a suspense thriller, it ranked second on the pre-sale charts when no one was optimistic about it. Just when everyone thought it would be a minor hit and then be overtaken by "One-Third of a Comedy", its total box office is now almost catching up with "One-Third of a Comedy".

Thrillers and horror films, which used to compete with comedies and romances, two genres with completely different audience bases, are now evenly matched.

"Han Fei! Let's celebrate! At this rate, we'll have no problem breaking 100 million in box office on the first day! As word-of-mouth spreads, the box office will continue to climb!" Director Zhang hadn't made any decent films in three years, but this time he's made a comeback in the suspense thriller genre.

Let me recommend a very interesting book, "I Became the Female Villain's Sidekick" by Pipa.

Synopsis: I transmigrated into a merged novel world.

Xu Beiwang couldn't help but complain:
"Why is it that everyone else gets to be the protagonist, or at the very least, a tyrannical ruler, while I'm just a lowly lackey serving the female villain?"

However, he soon discovered that it felt really good to bully others with his power, since the female villain would take the blame anyway.

And so, Xu Beiwang went further and further down the path of using his power to oppress others...

Moreover, he also took the opportunity to activate the treasure-hunting system.

"The chosen one? Fine, your treasure is mine!"
