I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.

In comparison, Fu Ziang appears particularly terrible; not only is his acting poor, but he also frequently makes mistakes and requires multiple takes.

Comparing goods is like throwing them away; comparing people is like killing them.

Chen Ang and Ren He reached a tacit agreement: they would never work with Fu Ziang, because every penny earned from working with him would be hard-earned.

At the wrap party, Chen Ang shocked everyone once again. He invited Bai Ye to play a cameo role in a major film crew, a role that even some second-tier stars would find difficult to get into.

Moreover, it is widely rumored in the entertainment industry that Chen Ang is a person with extremely high standards and does not easily invite other actors to play roles unless he highly approves of them.

In his view, if he invited the actor, he had to be responsible for the actor and the role, and if the performance was bad, it was also his responsibility.

This invitation is undoubtedly a huge recognition of Bai Ye, and if the news gets out, the entertainment industry will be shaken.

Chen Xiangbei picked up his wine glass and gestured to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, you have to toast Teacher Chen."

"Exactly! One toast isn't enough, at least three!"

Bai Ye then stood up, holding his wine glass, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Professor Chen."

"Don't talk about mentoring me, I've learned a lot from you too," Chen Ang said politely.

Bai Ye didn't take it seriously. What was the movie star learning from him? He was just being humble. It would be a fool for him to get carried away.

"However, there is one point I would like to remind you: experiential learning should not get too immersed in the role."

Chen Xiangbei frowned slightly. He was also aware of the concept of experiential learning, which was quick to learn but had significant side effects.

"Could you give me some pointers, Teacher Chen?" Chen Xiangbei suddenly asked.

"I wouldn't call it giving pointers, just some insights," Chen Ang said, opening up. "Find a ritual, and when you do this, keep telling yourself that you've already stepped out of character. For example, after filming, go play mahjong, eat hot pot, go for a drive, tell jokes, and keep reminding yourself that you are being your true self now, and that when you're acting, you're just acting."

Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, secretly noting down these little tricks.

……

"Bloodstained Sand" was officially released after Wu Zhan's vigorous promotion.

The show garnered significant attention upon its premiere, especially after Bai Ye (the character from the TV series "Day and Night") trended on social media for repeatedly betting on GG (a character from the show's title). The show attracted a large audience from the very first episode.

"Check-in".

"Come see the reverse smoking."

"Reverse smoking +1!"

"I wonder what role Lin Dong will be playing this time."

"Is that even a question? He's definitely a serial killer."

"No problem, born a serial killer."

The first episode gave viewers a big surprise, with a murder right from the start, which immediately set the tone for the entire series.

When Yang Jingjing came out, some viewers recognized her.

"Hey, isn't that so-and-so?"

"It looks somewhat familiar."

"Is he the one who acted in 'The Hidden Forest'?"

"Yes, yes, I remember her. She's a very good actress."

"What was her name again? Li Lin?"

"That's right, it's her! Her acting is amazing!"

Lin Dong, played by Bai Ye, is mentioned repeatedly, and Li Lin, as a "victim," also appears on screen very frequently, second only to the two main characters and Bai Ye.

Many people have praised her, saying that she has excellent acting skills and is a hidden gem.

Especially the scene where he was killed, it looked just like the real thing.

As soon as Yang Jingjing, who plays Zhao Wanning, appeared, the barrage of comments became lively. People said that she is good-looking and has good acting skills, so this drama must be good. The retention rate of viewers who came to join the fun is very high.

Wu Zhan was incredibly excited. The investment in this drama wasn't high, and if it could maintain this level of popularity, it would be a huge success!

Even if he could only maintain half of what he did on the first day, he would still be rolling in money.

They saved a lot on publicity and promotion costs, and the show was very popular. With these advantages, they definitely made a fortune.

"Everyone, let's promote this while it's hot! I think this show is going to be a hit!" Wu Zhan excitedly sent a message to the group chat.

Yang Jingjing: [Received!]

Boss Zhu: [Received!]

Bai Ye, needless to say, directly posted a poster for "Blood-Red Settlement".

On the first day of the broadcast, the show was incredibly popular, but Bai Ye hadn't appeared yet. Many people came specifically for him, and with the delay, some people started to leave, planning to wait until Bai Ye appeared before watching.

Wu Zhan glanced at the comments and then at the backend popularity, and immediately became anxious, so he started making his moves.

Psychologist Song Xin'er is his hidden trump card. Don't be fooled by her role as a caring older sister on set. Anyone who comes can chat with her for a while, and even supporting actors can get her advice.

But in reality, Wu Zhan didn't just invite someone randomly. Song Xin'er was the daughter of one of his friends, a psychologist with a small reputation in the industry.

If evaluated by pricing standards, Song Xin'er's fee is 1000 yuan per hour, which is among the top levels in the industry.

Wu Zhan definitely couldn't afford it, so he asked a friend about the approximate price of a psychologist. Coincidentally, his friend said that his daughter had suddenly become interested in the film crew, so he might as well let her go, and the fee would be just a token amount.

And so Song Xin'er appeared on the set of "Bloodstained Sand" looking so fresh and beautiful, which Wu Zhan took advantage of.

Song Xin'er: "I highly recommend 'Blood-Red Settlement' - a recommendation from the resident psychologist."

Song Xin'er is beautiful, kind-hearted, and highly skilled. She is well-known in the field of psychology and is also a minor internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Her recommendation immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Wait a minute! Is Xin'er on the set of 'Bloodstained Settlement'?"

"You mean the production crew actually hired a giant Buddha statue to provide psychological counseling for the actors?"

"Isn't this correct?"

"What kind of TV series actually needs a psychologist?"

"I booked a counseling session with Song Xin'er, and let me put it this way, it costs a thousand yuan an hour, and you might not even be able to get an appointment!"

"Wow, it's so expensive?"

"The production team really went all out."

Song Xin'er already had a lot of fans, but this was just the beginning.

If the daughter has already taken action, it's only natural for the father to step in, right?

Song Yang is a renowned expert in the field of psychology, with over a million followers on Douyin (TikTok), more than some celebrities.

"Personally, I think 'Bloodstained Sand' is a very exciting TV series. It deeply analyzes the inner self of each person—selfishness and self-interest."

A single wrong thought, a single misstep, can plunge a person into an abyss of no return.

Song Yang is not the kind of expert that everyone online despises; he is a true expert who always gets straight to the point when answering netizens' questions, leaving them speechless and spitting blood.

Therefore, he is very popular among netizens, and many people use his quotes to cope with the difficulties they face.

The industry was in an uproar. What exactly is the background of "Blood-Red Settlement" that could bring Song Yang and his daughter together to star in it?

"Oh my god, I have to take a look at this."

"Selfish? I'd like to see just how selfish you are."

"Father-in-law! I'll go see right now!"

Song Yang's fans were also curious about the drama, and on the third day after its premiere, the popularity of "Blood-Red Settlement" rose instead of falling.

The production team also promoted the film with the tagline: "High-energy content ahead!"

The poster only had four characters on it, along with a photo of Bai Ye.

Li Linfeng will make his first appearance.
