hum...

The electric door of the nanny van slid open!

Intelligent voice system:

"Princess, please alight from the carriage!"

Cao Cao wished the princess: "May your future be bright, your energy fully charged, and your luck overflowing!"

Li Shen looked up and watched Tian Xiwei step out of the car, feeling deeply moved.

Now, Tian Xiwei has a nanny car, a nanny, and bodyguards. Li Shen, on the other hand, only has insurance, and it's completely out of print!

Before graduation, there was a huge gap between the original owner and Tian Xiwei, with the woman being stronger and the man weaker. Now, their social statuses are worlds apart.

Li Shen was particularly curious about new energy sources in this life:

"You set up that 'Princess, please get out of the carriage' voice message?"

"what!"

Li Shen chuckled: "Pretty shameless, huh!"

"I'll beat you up!"

Tian Xiwei slung her Chanel bag over her shoulder, the gold chain of which stretched between her breasts.

Her originally casual light gray loose-fitting shirt was instantly accentuated by the way it was cinched, revealing sexy curves and alluring folds.

Li Shen then asked, "Why did you name your car 'Cao Cao'?"

"Because, speak of the devil and he appears."

"ah?!"

Have you ever experienced the despair of being stuck in traffic during Beijing's morning and evening rush hours?

"Got it!" Li Shen gave a thumbs up.

At the production crew's RV, a staff member waved and said, "Teacher Tian Xiwei, Teacher Li Shen, please get in the vehicle. We can set off now."

"Okay!"

Tian Xiwei swung her long, thick braids as she walked towards the RV, her Chanel bag bouncing back and forth on her pert buttocks, making the male viewers watching the live stream lose their minds.

The RV starts.

Li Shen and Tian Xiwei sat on opposite sides of the table.

Tian Xiwei pulled out a pair of large pink headphones from her bag and put them on her small head.

She rested her chin on her hand, occasionally glancing at the scenery outside the window, and occasionally glancing at her first love.

Li Shen, however, had no time to pay attention to anything else, focusing intently on browsing his phone.

Here is Hunan TV, which has a similar status to Hunan TV in the previous life. The program "Goodbye Lover" in this life is also similar to the program "Goodbye My Lover" in the previous life.

Even the show's observation room host, Long Yang, is practically a carbon copy of Long Yang from CCTV in my previous life; they look almost exactly the same, but a few years younger.

He felt like he was wearing a fake cross-border outfit.

But this is indeed Blue Star China, a superpower with a population of 17 billion.

This world feels more like a brand new world created by modifying and fine-tuning Earth's spacetime as a base.

It erased Li Bai, Du Fu, and others, and added great poets like Li Ye and Du Rong... It erased countless classic works of film, television, and music, and added the brilliant entertainment of this era.

The people, events, and things that exist in this life have all been slightly adjusted to some extent.

For example, Tian Xiwei has an additional identity compared to her previous life's Tian Xiwei—a singer.

She initially debuted as a singer, releasing several singles, but didn't make much of a splash in the music scene. So, when her singing career faltered, she turned to acting, and surprisingly, she gained widespread attention for her performances.

Although she has never shown particularly amazing acting skills, with her outstanding looks and the strong support of male fans, she has quickly become popular in the past six years and joined the ranks of the new four little actresses.

Li Shen's head suddenly buzzed, and key memories flooded back like a tidal wave.

The reason why Tian Xiwei did not achieve anything in the music industry is because... because she was targeted by capital and the release of her first music album was canceled.

She had no choice but to switch to an acting career!

The reason he was targeted by investors was that his original screenplay, "A Grain of Dust," was successfully adapted into a film, but the investors did not credit him; instead, they planned to credit the director.

In a fit of anger, Tian Xiwei stormed into the investor's office to speak up for him. After a heated confrontation with the investor, she finally managed to add his pen name to the list of screenwriters.

Li Shen recalled Tian Xiwei's return that night, her face beaming with smiles; it was the happiest night he had ever seen Tian Xiwei.

But a week later, the price came.

When Tian Xiwei was full of anticipation for the release of her music album the next day, she received the devastating news that the promotional campaign had been suspended.

His musical dreams were thus stillborn.

He only learned about the album's cancellation of promotion by investors on the eve of his graduation, the night he decided to break up with his girlfriend, from Chen Lan.

Tian Xiwei never told him a single word about how her album was killed by capital.

Damn it, what a spineless coward, a grown man like you!

When he looked up at Tian Xiwei, his eyes were full of guilt.

Do you still want to sing in the future?

Tian Xiwei took off her large headphones: "Huh?!"

"So, do you still want to sing in the future?"

Tian Xiwei's eyes darkened, and she turned her head to look at the sunset outside the window.

The sunset outside the window, like traditional music, is a scene of the sun setting behind the western mountains.

In today's era of decline for traditional music, even some of the top singers of the past have stopped releasing songs.

In this fast-paced era, Douyin's hit songs are no longer the classics like "Red Wall" and "Reincarnation," but rather songs like "Digging in the Big Grassland" and "Learning to Meow."

In the past two years, she has had countless desires to release albums again and become a singer, and she has also tried collecting songs.

However, nowadays, music producers tend to favor creating viral online songs, while very few insist on producing original, high-quality works.

Moreover, even if good works emerge, a large number of excellent singers are eyeing them, making it difficult for her, as an actress, to get the chance.

What's most infuriating is that a famous music producer once told her, "Oda sees your face and thinks you're the kind of cute girl who sings off-key."

She retorted angrily, "I'm going to shatter your stereotypes about me."

It's been two years, and there's still no chance to break it.

Moreover, a new AI singer named Xiaotouzhen has recently emerged. After listening to Xiaotouzhen's songs, she immediately gave up her plans to return to being a singer.

The AI ​​singer is amazing; even the most established singers in China are no match for it.

Forget it, I'd better just focus on filming!

Her current life goal is to meet a director who truly wants to make good films, find a really good script, and devote herself wholeheartedly to the role, proving to the public that she is not just a pretty face!

She wants to become a talented actress!

Her eyes, which had been gazing out the window, dimmed: "I just wanted to be a good actress. Singing? There's no chance anymore!"

Tian Xiwei, wearing large headphones, gazed out the window, a scene of beauty and tranquility.

Li Shen gazed at her profile, his heart churning with emotion.

This is a debt he owes, and he will try his best to repay it.

A moment later, he shifted his gaze from Tian Xiwei's profile back to his phone, muttering softly:

"There is a chance, I believe."

He knew that Tian Xiwei, who was immersed in the music, couldn't hear him; it was just his subconscious muttering to himself.

Tian Xiwei leaned against the car window with one hand, her face calm and composed, only her long eyelashes trembled slightly. A slight smile curved her lips, but before it could form a dimple, it vanished in an instant.

She gazed at the full moon in the starry sky, and the full moon seemed to fall into her beautiful eyes, which were as still as a lake.

The radiance gradually spread across her sweet face, revealing the charm of a Hong Kong film goddess.

Li Shen picked up the phone and curiously opened the contacts, notes, and other private spaces.

The best way to understand your host is to start with their private space.

His WeChat contacts included many elites and even big shots from various industries, and he even saw Jiang Wen's name.

I opened the chat window; the chat messages were from a long time ago.

[Jiang Wen: Little brother, let me see your good scripts first. I'll credit you with my real name, the kind of treatment you'd get from a top-tier screenwriter.]

[Guess who I am: Thank you, Director Jiang. Whether or not my name is credited is not important. I'm happy as long as my work is recognized. If you insist on crediting me in the future, you can use my pen name.]

Li Shen tapped his head. What kind of personality did the original owner have?

And then there's this "Guess who I am" thing? Who cares who you talk to—wait a minute, who am I? What is my alternate account anyway?

Li Shen scrolled through his phone and finally found a list in the Notes app:

[Living in seclusion, yet holding sway over the entertainment industry: My behind-the-scenes entertainment godfather plan!]

[Screenwriter: Luo Chen. Password...]

[Screenwriter: Qianying. Password...]

[Poet: Starlight. Password...]

[Lyricist: ...]

[writer……]

[Historian...]

……

[If my wish is fulfilled, I will die without regret!]

Looking at the dozens of aliases, Li Shen was completely overwhelmed!

What a grand ambition!

The original owner was clearly a person with an extremely socially anxious, withdrawn, cowardly, and insecure personality, yet her inner desires were so grand, so grand that they were unrealistic?

It's a truly extreme contrast.

Li Shen then looked at the concluding remarks of this entertainment godfather plan—

[If my wish is fulfilled, I will die without regret!]

He respected the original owner's "last wishes," but there were just too many of them.

You're going to take back control of China Entertainment?

Li Shen looked at the deep and large pit that the original owner had dug and laughed in anger.

Do you think you're Leonardo da Vinci, daring to come up with such a grand and complex plan?!

Which father would dare to take on such a grand plan?!

Dad picks up!

I'm borrowing your body to walk through the human world again. Since I'm enjoying the glory, I should fulfill your dreams.

On the phone's home screen, there is an app called "Huaxia Talent Pool - Screenwriter".

Li Shen entered his username and password and successfully logged in.

What's the highest-grossing niche arthouse film in mainland China's history?

Wow, the original owner was actually this awesome?

Is he standing on the shoulders of giants?

It turns out I really am a behind-the-scenes mastermind!

Others transmigrate into useless characters, but we start as max-level characters right away?

Putting everything else aside, if we just reveal this pen name, wouldn't all the haters on the internet be kneeling in despair?

Hohoho!

Then I entered another screenwriter's account.

……

But Li Shen was instantly confused.

He abandoned his highly accomplished first-tier screenwriter identity and started writing scripts under a different pseudonym. What's his mentality?

Is it simply for the thrill of being the behind-the-scenes boss, like the "Guess who I am" game?

Some memories were slightly awakened. Apart from this reason, it seems that the original owner was pursuing a pure creative realm that was not burdened by fame or trapped by praise.

Li Shen could understand this state of mind, but he thought it was insane.

The information that "The Vanished Lover" was under contract, which was revealed by the pseudonym "Qianying," piqued his interest.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei suddenly asked, "Li Shen, did you know you're trending on social media?"

"I know."

"Third on the trending topics list—do you know how much attention and influence that represents?"

"I know."

"Why are you so calm? They're insulting you!"

Li Shen smiled faintly: "I've said before, I don't care about them. As a creator, these are all fleeting things; the work itself is the only enduring strength."

To be frank, Li Shen has no interest in the usual entertainment industry practices of creating a persona and cultivating fans; he has always done things his own way!

In his past life, even though he had hundreds of thousands of fans, he didn't feel any particular pleasure.

However, he actually quite likes the phenomenon of haters turning into fans!

The day before the time travel, after the famous director Wong Kar-wai's scandal broke, a large number of his former haters who had accused him of disrespecting Wong Kar-wai switched sides and became his fans, resulting in a word-of-mouth phenomenon of haters turning into fans.

At that moment, he felt a surge of pleasure!

So, let's go all out and criticize!

With his own strength, the more he is criticized, the more excited he feels!

At this point, the comments section was already enraged by Li Shen:

[What ability do you even have?]

[I've clicked so many times I'm practically worn out, but I still can't find your work!]

[Should I call you a poet, screenwriter, writer, or a fraudster?]

[The filling in a steamed bun is all in the pleats; all your real skill is in your face. Is your brain empty?]
