Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Inside a rented room in the Sunshine Community in Hengdian.

Xu Yinggang finished his aerobic exercise and was examining himself in the mirror.

He has handsome features resembling Louis Koo, and a well-proportioned and tall figure.

He has exactly eight abs, not too many, not too few.

All the efforts since my rebirth have paid off; I've finally reached the point where I look slim in clothes but have a muscular physique when undressed.

Just then, roommate Zhu Yilong walked in carrying two boxes of food, gave one to Xu Ying, and boasted, "Fiveteen yuan for two."

"Sure, Lao Zhu." Xu Ying took the lunchbox and said in a low voice, "But if you still can't get any roles, you'll just have to go back to school and be laughed at."

"What's wrong with this world?" Zhu Yilong's face fell. He shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth and muttered, "Students from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy can't even find bit parts. Is there no justice left?"

Xu Ying shook his head, looked at Zhu Yilong's face, then at his own face in the mirror, and said something very apt.

"Maybe it's because we're both too handsome."

Zhu Yilong glanced at Xu Ying and thought there was some truth to what he said.

There's a reason why the Beijing Film Academy produces stars and the Central Academy of Drama produces actors; it's true that each graduating class is worse than the last.

In Xu Ying's memory, the only people from their class of 2006 whose names could be remembered in later generations were Zhu Yilong, the eldest sister Gao Ye, and Zhai Tianlin, who initiated the Tianlin Era.

Yang Mi was in the class of 2005 above, and Jing Tian was in the class of 2007 below.

One is a rising star, the other is a woman of great wealth and beauty.

Xu Ying will be a junior next semester, so during the summer vacation, Xu Ying and Zhu Yilong decided that the glory of the 06 class of the Performance Department of Taipei Film Academy must be defended by the two of them!

After the final exams, the two headed straight to Hengdian, embarking on a journey of revitalization!

As a result, in just half a month, no one wanted to act, let alone play minor roles.

The two huddled in their rented room, cursing the injustice of the world.

Zhu Yilong seems to have starred in a movie this year, but Xu Ying is having a harder time. Fortunately, he returned not too late.

In his previous life, after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy, he went into business...

Well, after more than ten years of hard work in business, I finally achieved financial freedom, only to hit the jackpot.

After being reborn, Xu Ying changed his mind and decided to try his luck in the entertainment industry. With his looks, it shouldn't be too difficult.

As it turned out, this industry required more background and qualifications than he had imagined.

Over the past two weeks, it's not that no one has taken a liking to them, but most of the group leaders are afraid that they'll steal the spotlight because they're so handsome.

There's nothing we can do about it. Is it wrong to be handsome?

Now the money is almost gone.

After they finished their meal, Zhu Yilong said, "I heard while I was buying food that the new Three Kingdoms drama crew is recruiting actors. Let's go give it a try!"

A New Three Kingdoms?

Xu Ying is not only familiar with this version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also knows many of its famous scenes.

As for the reputation of this drama, opinions vary. It's good enough that there's a show being made; who would be picky?

"Okay, let me take a shower first."

Without further ado, with the opportunity right in front of him, Xu Ying quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed straight for the Qin Palace with Zhu Yilong.

"Old Xu, why do you smell so good?"

"Masculine charm~"

The two arrived at the Qin King's Palace, which was bustling with activity.

Back then, director Chen spent 12 billion yuan on construction for the film "The Emperor and the Assassin," but only reaped a dismal box office of 10 million yuan, leaving the investors with nothing.

Fortunately, over the years, the Qin Palace has earned back a considerable amount of money since it opened as a tourist attraction.

Films such as "A Step into the Past", "The Forbidden Kingdom", and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" all filmed scenes at the Qin Palace.

Recruitment event for "New Three Kingdoms".

"Holy crap, there are so many people! Is this show really that popular?" Zhu Yilong was dumbfounded as he looked at the crowd coming and going at the recruitment site.

"Old Xu, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Yilong stared at Xu Ying expectantly, genuinely unsure how to stand out from the crowd.

After looking around, Xu Ying said seriously, "We can go through the back door!"

"Go through the back door?" Zhu Yilong was very surprised. If they could go through the back door, how could they have ended up in such a state?

"Did you see that person?"

Zhu Yilong followed Xu Ying's gaze and saw that the man was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, slender and handsome, and about 178 cm tall.

"I don't recognize him," Zhu Yilong looked at Xu Ying with suspicion and asked, "Do you know him?"

Xu Ying didn't answer, but instead put on a warm smile and walked towards the man, calling out, "Senior Brother!"

The man stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Xu Ying continued speaking, grasping the man's hand, "Senior Brother Luo, don't you remember me?"

Luo Jin, a student in the Department of Performing Arts at Taipei Film Academy, class of 2002.

The year he graduated, Xu Ying had just entered the Beijing Film Academy, and their class teacher was Cui Xinqin.

She officially entered the entertainment industry the year she graduated, and last year she starred in her first film.

"I'm Hsu Ying, from the Performance Department of Taipei Film Academy, class of 06. I even asked you for advice when you came back to school."

Luo Jin froze. Really? Could it be that time after graduation when he went back?

As expected of a professional actor, Luo Jin, though puzzled, feigned sudden realization and said, "Oh, it's you, junior brother."

"That's right, he's also from the class of 06, Zhu Yilong." Xu Ying pointed to Zhu Yilong, who had a somewhat blank expression, and introduced him.

"Uh...ah..." Zhu Yilong snapped out of his daze and quickly grabbed Luo Jin's other hand. "Hello, Senior Brother Luo!"

Then, his gaze toward Xu Ying was questioning: "What's wrong?"

Luo Jin's hands were each held by one of the two men, and he couldn't break free for a moment. In this way, the three of them began to communicate in a stable position.

[Ding! Host has made contact with actor Luo Jin and gained one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to participate?]

The system has arrived... Xu Ying was overjoyed and silently replied, "Yes!"

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Basic Martial Arts]

Xu Ying's smile widened, and he clenched his hands tightly, saying enthusiastically, "Senior Brother Luo Jin, our class teacher is also Teacher Cui."

Oh? Hearing Xu Ying mention Cui Xinqin, Luo Jin remembered that after they graduated, Teacher Cui had mentioned that she had indeed taught the class of 06.

He was somewhat surprised, after all, he was also taught by Teacher Cui. "How is Teacher Cui?"

"She's doing fine, but her temper is still the same. She said we were the worst class of students she's ever taught."

"Hahaha, that's what she said about us back then too." Luo Jin laughed, then his face showed reminiscence, "Two years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, senior brother, Teacher Cui often talks about you. She said..." Xu Ying mimicked Cui Xinqin's tone, "Your senior brother Luo Jin, a handsome young man, is hardworking, but he's a bit stubborn. If he can't memorize his lines, he'll hide in the stairwell and cry, and after crying, he'll continue memorizing..."

"Did Teacher Cui tell you all this?"

"Yes, and they even praised you for always patching things up for yourself since you were little."

Hearing his mentor mention him, Luo Jin was initially happy, as only outstanding students could be remembered by their mentors. However, when he thought about how he hadn't made a name for himself yet, his nose tingled with sadness.

"I feel ashamed before my mentor..." Compared to the other students in his class, he was really not outstanding.

"I watched my senior's movie 'The Golden Age.' He really knows how to choose movies, and his acting skills are top-notch," Xu Ying praised.

"Oh, it's nothing to mention." Luo Jin couldn't stop smiling when he heard Xu Ying mention the movie he starred in.

Just as he was about to wave goodbye, he realized that his hands were still being held tightly by the two people. He tried to break free but couldn't. Helplessly, he said, "You're here for an audition, right? Or... shall we go inside and talk?"

Xu Ying released his left hand, but held onto it with his right, while gesturing with his left hand, "Thank you, Senior Brother, please!"

Zhu Yilong followed suit, loosening his right hand while keeping his left hand clenched, and making a gesture of invitation with his right hand.

Luo Jin's lips twitched. "Uh, let's go together..."

The three of them walked hand in hand toward the back of the recruitment office.

People passing by cast surprised glances at him. It was the first time Luo Jin had encountered something like this, and he felt a little embarrassed. He was also afraid that others would recognize him, so he chose to keep his head down and not dare to look at other people's expressions.

Xu Ying and Zhu Yilong, however, remained expressionless and occasionally exchanged smiles with each other.

Yeah, those two are really shameless.
