I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.
Chapter 9 is such a terrible script, but I accepted it anyway.
Bai Ye took the script and started reading it. After reading it, he understood why no one wanted to take the role.
Actors today face significant financial pressure. As long as a role is passable, they have no trouble finding a role, and sometimes they even have to compete with a group of people.
Like "The Hidden Forest," no one wanted to take on the role in "Bloodstained Sands," which is truly because the role was so terrible.
The demand for a handsome actor to play a murderer in "The Hidden Forest" was too high, while the role in "Bloodstained Sand" was too weak.
Lin Dong in "The Hidden Forest" is at least handsome, so his fans might be willing to eat some of his food.
Li Linfeng is a serial killer, but the script neither explains the reasons nor the background, nor does it establish a character for him.
This character is slovenly and looks like a roadside worker; he's not handsome at all.
He kills without rules or pleasure, and may suddenly kill someone at any time because of a single word; it is a purely mechanical killing.
The occasional glimpses of tenderness can quickly turn into murderous intent; even the most saintly person would find it impossible to empathize with the character of Li Linfeng.
Whoever plays the role will be criticized, and might even get beaten up if they go out.
Bai Ye gave the director a strange look, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there no one willing to play this role?"
Director Wu tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Just kidding, there's a whole line of people wanting to act in this!"
Bai Ye silently turned around and glanced at the empty doorway.
Director Wu gave an awkward smile and changed the subject, "What do you think of this character?"
"Not very good."
Director Wu's smile froze, and his expression turned sour. "You think you can take advantage of me just because I gave you a little pointers? If it weren't for the fact that no one else wanted to play this role, and that everyone who was willing wanted to change the script, I would have kicked you out long ago."
Bai Ye smiled slightly, "But I accepted."
Director Wu was taken aback, then overjoyed, "You accepted?"
"right."
Director Wu asked suspiciously, "You're not thinking of rewriting the script too, are you?"
Bai Ye shook his head. "I won't change the script."
Why change the script? An assassin is supposed to be terrifying. Adding complicated backgrounds will only weaken his intimidation, and some sleazy people might even sympathize with him instead.
Director Wu immediately approved the deal!
The assistant director jogged over with the contract, and the two of them watched with expectant eyes as Bai Ye signed it.
Bai Ye quickly signed his name.
Call ~
Call ~
Bai Ye and the director both breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, we've finally solved a big problem.
They both thought so.
The director was overjoyed; the role that no one else wanted to play had found a suitable actor.
Bai Ye was overjoyed; he could kill again.
Hmm? Something feels off.
"Go put on some makeup and do a screen test."
Director Wu took Bai Ye to find the makeup artist so he could personally observe the makeup effect.
It's hard to make someone look handsome, but it's much easier to make a handsome person look ugly.
First, there's the hair. Bai Ye's handsome and flowing hair became messy in just three minutes in the hands of the makeup artist.
Her hair was greasy and looked like it hadn't been washed for at least two weeks.
He was wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat, some parts of which were worn white, revealing the cotton underneath. The collar was dark and covered in patina.
Uneven eyes, a scaly face, and a tattered cotton-padded jacket.
The director exclaimed that the person in front of him was exactly like Li Linfeng in the script.
The screenwriter nodded repeatedly, excitedly exclaiming, "That's right, it's him!"
His tone and expression were as if he were pointing out a murderer.
Bai Ye glanced at him lightly.
"Director, where did you find this person?" The screenwriter quietly pulled the director aside and whispered, "I have a strange feeling about him."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," the director said calmly.
After finishing her makeup, Bai Ye followed the director to the filming location. The director found the actor who would play Li Linfeng, and this news had already spread.
"Hey, do you think this guy can act well?"
"It's very difficult. I've seen the role; it's very difficult to play."
"Without even a background story, you can't even begin to understand the character's inner thoughts."
"This character is purely a killing machine."
In the production crew, all the named characters are being watched, but the fact that no one is watching Li Linfeng speaks volumes. He's not outstanding, and he's a villain, so it's normal that no one wants to play him.
The actors gathered together, chatting in twos and threes, eager to find out what kind of person this actor was. They were really too indiscriminate in their search.
"Bai Ye, over here."
A clear voice rang out; everyone in the crew recognized it—it was Yang Jingjing, who was playing a supporting role this time.
The people chatting all looked in the direction of the sound.
A tall, thin man walked in, his tattered cotton-padded coat seemingly ill-fitting.
The stubble on his lips was a bit messy, and his eyebrows were uneven, making his eyes appear to be different sizes.
This messiness and asymmetry made him look very gloomy.
With his back to the sunlight, Bai Ye smiled.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and some were already considering running away.
Director Wu clapped his hands. "Hey, this is the actor who plays Li Linfeng, Bai Ye. Let's all get to know him."
"white night?"
"Holy crap, is it Bai Ye?"
One of the actors mustered his courage and took a step forward. "Is that Bai Ye, the one who saved someone and got arrested by the police?"
Bai Ye's expression froze: "...It's me."
"Wow! You've come here?"
"You were that psychopathic killer too, weren't you?"
Bai Ye's smile stiffened further. He sighed, "Yes, it was me too."
"Haha, wow, the director is awesome! He actually managed to get you here!"
"Holy crap, I was scrolling through videos the other day and suddenly I saw yours, I almost threw my phone away!"
"Brother of the cow!"
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively. Bai Ye wasn't very famous, but he had become quite popular online these past few days.
On one hand, there's entertainment news about actors being scared to tears during a performance; on the other hand, there's social news about someone being subdued by police while trying to save someone. It's hard not to remember these stories.
Lead actor Luo Kun said with a smile, "I've heard so much about you! I play Los."
Bai Ye quickly shook hands, forcing a smile, "You flatter me, Brother Kun, I've heard so much about you."
Luo Kun scrutinized him closely and sighed, "You'd better stop acting for now. Your smile makes me shudder. Your aura is terrifying."
The others nodded in agreement.
Bai Ye was extremely embarrassed.
Luo Kun thought he was already in character, playing a murderer.
I didn't act! I really didn't act!
I just put on some makeup!
Bai Ye was speechless and choked with emotion. He had a premonition that if he went out like this in the future, there was a very high chance that he would be arrested by the police.
Yang Jingjing smiled without saying a word. That's great!
They've finally lured Bai Ye into this mess. Now, one by one, these people will experience the fear that Bai Ye brings.
Awesome!
Yang Jingjing had been caught in the rain herself, so her goal was to make everyone get caught in this rain called White Night.
Luo Kun, Yu Jiajia, Wang Zhengyi...
The actors in the production crew weren't any particularly big names, but they were all somewhat well-known.
After a brief introduction, the crew began work.
Bai Ye then realized why the director was in such a hurry—he was waiting for him!
