Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

Majuqiao.

Steam rose from a street food stall. Zhang Qilin sat on a low stool, with an empty bowl of tofu pudding and the last half of a fried dough stick in front of him.

This was his fourth day experiencing life in Majuqiao, and this meal marked the end of his three-day experience.

He put the last bite of the fried dough stick into his mouth, took out ten yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The boss, who was clearing away the dishes with a cigarette in his mouth, accepted the gift with a smile.

Zhang Qilin began:

"Boss, can I have a cigarette?"

The shopkeeper smiled and knocked a cigarette out of the pack, handing it to him.

Zhang Qilin lit the fire offered by the boss, took a deep breath, and waved goodbye.

I'm leaving; I probably won't be coming back to this place.

Thinking of this, my joy was beyond words.

He walked briskly across the street, without even going around to the intersection a few steps away.

Upon seeing the railing by the roadside, he suddenly got the idea and, imitating the "Dongguan boy" from the movie, used one hand to support himself and nimbly stepped over it.

Upon landing, he flicked off the ashes and continued walking forward.

After crossing the road, he turned into a small alley.

Zhang Qilin, in a good mood, had no idea what to do. His performance had just been captured by a photography enthusiast who was taking pictures in Majuqiao.

As you walk deeper into the alley, the noise becomes increasingly sparse.

After turning two corners, a series of screams and pleas for mercy came from nearby.

Zhang Qilin did not go over to check the situation.

Walk a little further ahead, and you'll see an old Jinbei van parked in the corner.

As they approached, the car door swung open, and Sun Yu and several others jumped out.

"Brother Lin, we're all done here."

"Okay," Zhang Qilin responded, throwing the half-smoked cigarette on the ground. "Take a few photos for me."

Sun Yu didn't ask any further questions, turned around and took a black camera from the car.

Zhang Qilin stood there casually changing his stance a few times, and Sun Yu pressed the shutter button several times in perfect unison.

After taking the photos, Sun Yu returned the iPhone to Zhang Qilin, and then the group got into the car.

The car door was closed, the Jinbei van started, quickly reversed out of the alley, then accelerated, and in the blink of an eye merged into the main road traffic and disappeared into Majuqiao.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Qilin said to Sun Yu:

"Send me the photos in a bit. Get the film out in the next couple of days as soon as possible; I need it urgently."

"No problem, someone is already editing the footage. With last night's material, they've cut out a five-minute clip for you. I'll have them organize the rest of the footage."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Hey~ No need to be so polite between brothers..."

Just then, Zhang Qilin's phone rang.

Zhang Qilin picked it up and saw that it was a call from Shan Qifu.

He answered enthusiastically:

"Hello, Brother Shan."

"Dalin, you've done what you asked. I guarantee they won't be able to get out of bed for a week."

"Thank you, Brother Shan. I'll transfer the tea fee to you later."

"Hey~ No need to rush, talk to me if you need anything."

The phone hangs up.

The car drove for about an hour before finally stopping in front of a bathhouse near the Beijing Film Academy.

Zhang Qilin called for everyone to get off the bus:

"Let's go, take a bath, relax and unwind."

These past few days, these people have been eating and sleeping in the car, accompanying him to experience life, and taking a bath to help everyone relax.

12:00

Liao Hongbo sat in front of his computer, browsing photos taken during his field trip to Majuqiao today.

With a click of the mouse, you can drag items you're not satisfied with directly into the recycle bin.

He examined each sheet one by one, occasionally pausing to adjust the color tone and brightness.

When he saw the photos featuring homeless people, he habitually circled them with his mouse and dragged them toward the recycle bin icon.

Halfway through, my fingers stopped.

He canceled the operation, double-clicked on one of the photos, and the photo instantly filled the screen.

He looked at the figure hurdling, zooming in on the face; it was a relaxed feeling that seemed out of place with the surroundings.

Replace it with another one.

The homeless man in the photo is walking with a cigarette in his mouth, looking straight ahead.

A carefree and unrestrained spirit, paired with that layered and mixed-and-matched outfit, gives off a kind of unrestrained "quality".

Liao Hongbo leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed slightly.

When did even homeless people on the street start to have such a spirit?

He must be a person with a story.

Liao Hongbo felt a pang of regret.

If he had noticed the unique aura emanating from that person, he would have definitely gone up to try and strike up a conversation.

You might get an unexpected story.

It's probably too late now.

These homeless people have no fixed abode; they may be in Majuqiao one moment and disappear into another street in Beijing the next.

With this in mind, Liao Hongbo uploaded the set of photos to a professional forum for photography enthusiasts, titled the post "The Past and Present Life of Handsome Guy," and published it.

……

Meanwhile, after taking a bath, Zhang Qilin returned to his school dormitory, and his nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed.

He lay down on the bed, and drowsiness quickly overcame him.

17:20

The cell phone next to my pillow was buzzing and vibrating.

Zhang Qilin opened his eyes groggily, reached for his phone, and saw that Sun Yu had sent him the photos.

He leaned against the headboard and clicked on the picture to view it.

I picked out a few of my favorites and logged into Weibo.

A line of text is typed on the screen:

"The experience has come to an end. Only by delving into certain corners can we see different kinds of 'living.' I am grateful for this experience, which has taught me a lot. Next, see you at the Beijing People's Art Theatre interview."

Click to send.

After sending it, I saw comments under the photos I posted a few days ago.

When I clicked on it, it was Jing Tian.

First, there's a surprised expression on a Minion's face, followed by the words: "Go for it!"

Zhang Qilin replied: "Thank you, let's make progress together."

After replying, turn off your phone.

He started checking the rewards.

The reward notification appeared while he was taking a shower, but he was a little tired at the time and didn't check it.

He focused his mind and concentrated.

A message appeared before my eyes.

[Rewards: Luck Value +15, Accurate Imitation Fragment +1, Temporary Empathy Magnetic Field Talisman +1]

The luck points reward has finally reached double digits, not easy at all.

But he was more interested in accurately mimicking fate and wanted to know what the reward was for.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a message appeared before his eyes.

【Precise Imitation】Fragment 1/10: Once activated, it can accurately imitate the tone, demeanor, subtle expressions, and habitual small movements of the target you have observed, achieving a lifelike effect.

It can be used once a day for 5 minutes.

Upon seeing the introduction, I was delighted.

This destiny is extremely important to him.

His performance was decent, but it was still far from being completely natural.

Especially in a place like the Beijing People's Art Theatre, where there are many hidden talents, it would take countless years to stand out by relying solely on one's own exploration.

With this destiny, as long as he imitates it well, he can defeat many competitors.

The only weakness is that each session is too short.

However, imitation is not the ultimate path. To truly reach the pinnacle, he still needs to continuously hone his acting skills through hard work.

Zhang Qilin looked at the next reward.

[Temporary Empathy Magnetic Field Talisman]

When you present your case sincerely, you can subtly evoke the listener's emotions, making your explanation more believable and slightly increasing the probability of successful persuasion.

This talisman was extremely useful to him.

He needs someone who can impress the examiners with words.

Zhang Qilin was very satisfied with the reward, which gave him more confidence for the interview.

Over the next few days, he traveled throughout the college, preparing for his upcoming interview.
