"Sister Jiang is awesome!"

"If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather, no, godmother."

Boom!

A heavy tap on the head.

The atmosphere that had finally become serious was ruined by his words.

After finishing his meal, Lin Ye was about to find an excuse to leave when Jiang Feng spoke up: "I heard your graduation project is the first episode of 'Hannibal'?"

"Mm." Lin Ye nodded.

"How's the casting process going?"

"It's almost done, except for Will and..." Seeing Jiang Feng's expression, Lin Ye quickly understood what he meant, "You're going to play Hannibal?"

Lin Ye was somewhat excited.

He couldn't help but be excited. The person in front of him was a legendary movie star back then. Although he had faded from the screen in recent years, his strength could still crush most actors.

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome! You're so welcome!"

"Okay, let's talk about the salary first. Based on current market rates, you can easily give me tens of millions..."

Seeing Lin Ye's face gradually stiffen, Jiang Qingyue smiled and came to his rescue: "Second Uncle, look how scared you are of him."

"I'm not teasing you anymore," Jiang Feng said seriously. "I'll have a week of free time in half a month. If you can seize the opportunity, I can play Hannibal for free."

With the support of a legendary director, Lin Ye was confident that he could finish filming Hannibal's scenes within a week.

There's only one problem now: we're missing someone to play Will.

Acting alongside an award-winning actor can easily overshadow the other, especially when both Will and Hannibal are equally important characters. Any significant disadvantage on either side can greatly diminish the final product.

As he pondered, a bold idea popped into Lin Ye's mind.

Since replicating the filming will grant a temporary "Legendary Director" ability, replicating the music will grant a temporary "Legendary Musician" ability.

Will there be temporary skill enhancements when replicating acting techniques?

Lin Ye's mind raced, and he decided to open the system panel to verify.

[Host: Linye]

[Permissions: Level 1]

[Mood value: 38735]

[Already redeemed: Final Destination series (3%), Hannibal (Season 1)]

In order to perfectly replicate the retrieved works, the system will provide Lin Ye with the greatest possible assistance.

After carefully perceiving the rules that the system perfectly replicated, Lin Ye discovered that his conjecture was correct.

A hidden ability gradually emerged in his mind: to perfectly replicate the performance of the actors in his mind during filming.

Although he didn't have any special skills, Lin Ye was still quite satisfied.

His abilities are sufficient for him to play the role of Will.

"No problem, we'll start filming as soon as you arrive, and we guarantee we'll finish filming your scenes within a week."

After adding the contact information, Lin Ye hurriedly left the private room.

The private room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Qingyue got up to leave, and as she reached the door, Jiang Feng suddenly spoke.

"I almost thought you had really changed over the past few years."

Jiang Feng chuckled softly.

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

Jiang Qingyue stopped in her tracks.

"Refusing to admit it?" Jiang Feng unlocked his phone screen, which displayed a chat log detailing the ins and outs of the Zhou Zhou incident. "I just investigated it specifically and discovered something interesting."

"If you were really going to protect him like you acted just now, why didn't you solve his problem in the first place?"

"I asked, and he didn't want it."

"If you really protect him that much, you'll help him solve the problem even if he doesn't want it."

"..."

"You haven't changed at all. You're still as cold-blooded and shrewd as ever," Jiang Feng said coldly. "Everyone in your eyes is just a bargaining chip that can be measured. Pawns that aren't valuable enough aren't worth saving."

"It's up to you."

"Ha, the old man doesn't like you. He thinks you are too ruthless and cold-blooded, willing to do anything to achieve your goals, so he forbids you from participating in any household affairs."

"So you took a job as a college counselor, willingly spending the most precious years of your youth to put on a show for the old man, so that he would think you had mellowed down and turned over a new leaf."

"Congratulations, you've succeeded." Jiang Feng's face was gloomy, with no hint of congratulations. "The position of acting chairman of Xinghan Culture was indeed authorized by the old man. He believes that you, having reformed, can gradually take on family affairs."

"Are you going to tattle on me to the old man?" Jiang Qingyue's expression was icy, her tone carrying a chilling undertone.

"Guess if I've already hit it?"

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became tense.

a long time.

"No need to guess." Jiang Qingyue smiled sweetly. "If you had already won, you wouldn't be confronting me at this time."

Jiang Feng smiled, but didn't reply.

"Can you tell me why, Second Uncle?" Jiang Qingyue sat down next to Jiang Feng and lit a cigarette for him.

Jiang Feng took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled. The corner was filled with smoke, and he seemed to have suddenly become a different person, completely lacking the aggressive demeanor he had just displayed.

"I never intended to tell the old man; what I said above was just to force you to reveal your pretense."

"Then you..."

"you guess."

The tense atmosphere between the two suddenly dissipated.

Jiang Qingyue seemed to see Lin Ye's mischievous figure and glared at Jiang Feng in annoyance.

"That's why," Jiang Feng said, looking into Jiang Qingyue's eyes. "You've become emotional."

"You used to be like a cold machine, everything was calculated, but now you have your own joys and sorrows."

"Once you have emotions, you slowly become a person. I am your second uncle, and naturally I hope you become a better person, rather than living your whole life in scheming and pretense."

"What if I'm faking it?" Jiang Qingyue's eyes held an inscrutable emotion. "You're a movie star, you must know that many things can be acted out."

"Of course, eyes, tone of voice, posture... can all be faked." Jiang Feng nodded in agreement with her statement, then added, "But a subconscious reaction cannot be faked."

"I can sense that your body is constantly tense, only relaxing slightly when you're fooling around with that kid."

"Second Uncle, your reasoning has flaws," Jiang Qingyue said calmly. "Since he treats me so specially, why didn't I protect him from the beginning, instead of letting everything develop like this?"

"Because you're afraid." Jiang Feng's tone was somewhat mocking. "You're acting too convincingly, you can't tell whether you're playing the role of a counselor or genuinely want to help him. You're afraid that once you take action, all the pretense will crumble instantly, and neither of you will be able to go back to how things were before."

"That's enough!"

"Later, you regretted not helping him back then, so you tried every means to help him in order to make up for the debt in your heart."

"Only now, with my endorsement, do you dare to reveal your identity as the acting chairman in front of him and stand up for him."

Jiang Qingyue got up and tried to leave the private room.

Jiang Feng rushed in front of her, his aura imposing, staring seriously at Jiang Qingyue.

"Don't run away, Xiaoyue."

You can fool all the people in the world, but you can't fool yourself.

"Answer me, was that 'I've got your back' genuine, or was it a calculated move?"
