Great, it's a scalper, we're saved!

After escorting Liu Yiyi into the theater, the manager returned and chatted with Zheng Fan for a few more minutes.

After confirming that he had completely grasped the father-daughter relationship, the manager returned to his office with satisfaction.

Watching the manager disappear, Zheng Fan didn't linger. After returning the props to their rightful owners, he left Wanda Plaza directly.

"Earning this 200 yuan was a bit of a struggle."

Sitting in the car on his way home, Zheng Fan recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but purse his lips.

It's one thing that it takes a long time, but to make matters worse, they also have to put on a show of acting skills.

This thing is extremely mentally taxing.

"Although it's not about making money, we can't let ourselves suffer losses like this again."

"And I can't go to the cinema during this period. If I run into someone, no matter how well I act, I won't be able to get away with it."

Zheng Fan nodded silently, having made up his mind. He then took out his phone and applied to turn off the broadcast.

……

With Zheng Fan's broadcast ending, the recording of today's live stream was also uploaded online.

Yesterday's trending topics hadn't completely died down when a topic related to Zheng Fan surged to the top of Weibo's trending list again.

#On the acting skills of scalpers#

Viewers who watched the entire video were all stunned.

"What the heck? They just carried a ladder in?"

"Damn, I was planning to do that too, how come it's so easy?"

The next day, Wanda Property looked at the pile of ladders at the entrance and fell into deep thought.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Don't be ridiculous, who among you has Zheng Fan's acting skills? To me, he's just as good as any of those young heartthrobs!"

"Yes, both their expressions and tone of voice really captured that feeling!"

"And he's so handsome! I've decided to give up on my original brother and become Zheng Fan's fan."

"Forget about young heartthrobs, this is even better than some professional actors!"

"No, the more I look at Zheng Fan, the less he seems like a scalper."

"This is hilarious! I'm dying of laughter at that girl's expression!"

"Hahahaha!! How come I never noticed before that Zheng Fan liked to take advantage of others? He's practically a father to me!"

"Holy crap! What's he after? He just finishes one order and then ends the stream? It's not like he's after fame!"

"..."

……

As dusk fell.

Inside a high-end villa in the capital city.

After a long day of running around, Lu Kai changed into his bathrobe, came out of the bathroom, and collapsed onto the bed.

"call!"

"I never imagined that doing a roadshow would be so tiring."

Lu Kai sighed, his brows furrowed with exhaustion.

As the lead actor in "Bureau 249", he traveled with the film crew to several cinemas in different cities for promotional tours on the film's release day.

Such intense work was really taking a toll on him.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Lu Kai finally felt his body relax.

Then, Lu Kai rolled over, sat on the edge of the bed, and let out a long sigh.

"I don't know what the reviews are like."

Lu Kai muttered to himself, opened his phone, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

Although he became famous at a young age, Lu Kai has always wanted to get rid of the label of "young heartthrob".

Therefore, over the years he gave up many resources and chose to study at a film academy to hone his acting skills.

Not long after graduating from the acting training class, he got the opportunity to star in "Bureau 249".

As this was Lu Kai's first time playing the male lead in a movie, he was quite curious whether his transformation had attracted any attention.

[After a long day of roadshow appearances, I'm physically exhausted. I don't know how I performed, and I'm mentally exhausted too.]

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and a Weibo post appeared on Lu Kai's phone.

After writing this sentence, Lu Kai frowned, took a selfie, added it to the blog post, and then sent it.

Shortly after posting the Weibo message, Lu Kai refreshed the page, and there were already hundreds of comments.

I went to see the premiere today! My brother was awesome!!

[Not tired at all, brother acted so well!]

[This was so enjoyable to watch! Kai should make more movies in the future!!]

Don't frown! You're already doing great!

[I didn't get enough of his stunning good looks today, so I'll go watch it again tomorrow!]

[My brother's acting is amazing! I almost cried several times!]

Opening the comments section, one is immediately greeted by a barrage of praise and concern from fans.

A proud smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Kai's face.

All the effort I've put in over the past few years has been worth it!

At least their acting skills were recognized!

Just as Lu Kai was about to turn off his phone with satisfaction, several replies suddenly caught his attention.

[What a load of crap! He wasn't even as good as Zheng Fan.]

[Hahaha, did the person upstairs also come from the trending topics? Lu Kai's acting really wasn't very good.]

[Exactly, even Zheng Fan, a scalper, acted much better than him!]

Looking at these comments, Lu Kai couldn't help but frown.

What is that?

Zheng Fan?

Who is Zheng Fan? Is he a young heartthrob? I've never heard of him.

cattle?

A scalper's acting skills are better than mine?

How can a scalper make it to the trending topics?!

Lu Kai shook his head with a hint of disdain.

Although he's called a "young heartthrob," he's spent the last few years studying acting and is a graduate of a formal acting school.

How dare an ordinary person try to stage an accident?

Most of the time, these ordinary viewers don't understand what acting is.

Moreover, the character he plays this time is a young and arrogant blond-haired kid.

I made many mistakes along the way, but in the end I realized them.

What a three-dimensional and profound character!

Without years of acting training, you simply can't pull it off!

These ordinary viewers probably wouldn't understand their own performance at all.

However, despite thinking this, Lu Kai couldn't help but feel a little curious.

How did a scalper end up trending on social media?

With mixed feelings, Lu Kai opened Weibo's trending topics list.

With just one glance, Lu Kai saw that familiar word.

"What the heck? A critique of scalpers' acting skills?"

"These netizens really don't understand acting; how did this even make it to the trending topics?"

Lu Kai shook his head speechlessly and clicked into the topic.

Seeing that there was a full recording of Zheng Fan's live stream in the topic, Lu Kai didn't hesitate and clicked to play it.

Not long after the video started playing, Lu Kai couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is this considered acting skill? It really gave them a huge fright!"

In the video, it was Zheng Fan who greeted Liu Yiyi from behind, startling her so much that she took several steps back.

"These netizens are really bragging because they don't even know the most basic way to strike up a conversation."

"And why would we want to read 'Bureau 249'? It's probably a smear campaign bought by our competitors."

Lu Kai shook his head in disdain.

This tactic is common in the entertainment industry; it's often a result of rivals deliberately buying trending topics.

However, as the video continued to play, Lu Kai put away his somewhat frivolous expression.

"They just carried a ladder in?"

"That on-the-spot reaction was indeed quite good."

"But he doesn't have much acting skill either."

"At most, he's just a little better than the average person."

I saw Zheng Fan carrying a ladder and leading Liu Yiyi into the movie theater.

Lu Kai shook his head and muttered to himself.

He could tell that when the staff asked about Liu Yiyi's identity, Zheng Fan deliberately sounded a little impatient, something that only someone with acting experience would do.

However, this can only be considered as acting skills that are slightly better than those of the average person.
