Insider Evaluation: Suicide Truck!

In the entertainment industry of a parallel universe, without a system, what should I do?

Crossing over or having the memories of one's other self in another time-space isn't as all-powerful as one might imagine.

Let's put it this way: if you were to throw all the handsome guys in front of your phone over there, how many songs could you copy?

If your abilities aren't up to par, another set of memories might help in some aspects, but if you truly want to cheat your way through life, it's actually faster to just fall asleep.

A loser is still a loser after crossing over.

No names mentioned, but you're sweating, aren't you?

Fortunately, Bai Youlou is a genius!

Being a cultured hooligan isn't easy; although the hooligan part is primary, if you lack the skills, you're just a hooligan.

If your cultural level were any lower, you'd devolve into a thug.

In his previous life, he managed to do quite well in the entertainment industry, all thanks to his solid skills.

The only thing he lacked might have been creativity, which was precisely the fundamental reason he only managed to do "quite well."

Perhaps it could be said that Bai Youlou is a versatile talent who lacks creative ability!

Isn't it fun? His fatal flaw, regret, and shortcomings from his previous life have been resolved.

Bai Youlou has fans!

Bai Youlou has fans!

Bai Youlou has fans!

Important things are repeated three times.

Of course, that was his past glory.

After all, he was very handsome and sang quite well. He was a quality idol artist and developed remarkably well.

Given a little more time, he could have easily competed with the so-called top stars.

However, his fans now are too afraid to show themselves online. Only a portion of his die-hard fans are still willing to defend him.

Frankly speaking, the defense of die-hard fans is worse than no defense at all.

The more they defend him, the more hatred he attracts.

Passersby might just want him to fail, but some fans genuinely want him dead.

Fortunately, the most discussed topics about him online are still by haters and those looking for a laugh.

After the press conference, another wave of excitement arrived.

A netizen who had unfollowed him and turned into a standard hater was the first to discover something strange.

"Bai Youlou: She also seductively called me in for some sweet soup."

Seeing Bai Youlou's name made her teeth itch with hatred. Unfollowing and turning into a hater is the most fatal; the more she liked him before, the more she hated him now.

But at the same time, seeing his name, she was bound to click and see what was going on.

Upon clicking, she found it was accompanied by pictures and text, as well as a condensed video clip from the scene.

As for the content... it almost made her spit out her dinner.

"What the hell is this?"

Has this guy gone crazy? Is he the first artist in the Chinese entertainment industry to have a mental breakdown due to a scandal?

She immediately forwarded it to the hater group, causing a huge stir.

"Holy crap! Amazing, has Bai Youlou lost his mind?"

"Feels like he's given up, but what he's saying is quite interesting, haha~"

"He should switch to crosstalk; he might become popular, but the risk is quite high. With such a terrible reputation, he might get hit with rotten eggs."

"A pair of dogs and bitches, neither of them is any good. They're starting to bite each other."

"..."

Unsurprisingly, due to these remarks, Bai Youlou trended again.

What seemed somewhat absurd was that the heat from this press conference might be even greater than when the previous incident was exposed.

On one hand, Bai Youlou's situation was considered "confirmed," and there wasn't much new to criticize.

But after this press conference, everyone could have a good laugh.

The memes were too dense, catchy, and irresistible.

Some netizens even named these things "Bai-isms," with all sorts of meme creators jumping on board.

Of course, the usual online bullying he deserved was probably unavoidable, but the "female protagonist" was likely receiving even more of it now.

Industry insiders' evaluation: A self-detonating truck!

This guy clearly had no other options. Before leaving, he'd curse a few times and spit before walking away.

There's nothing anyone can do about this kind of scoundrel, not even the person involved.

And the person involved wouldn't dare say anything. They were the one who set the trap in the first place, so who knows what kind of trouble this lunatic would stir up if they opened their mouth.

It's best to just "see them off."

"Once this wave of attention passes, this lunatic won't be able to cause any more trouble. Don't worry, it definitely won't drag you into it. The paparazzi didn't even get a picture of you, and you came in through the back door."

"That's good, sister-in-law. You know me. It wasn't easy for me to break into the entertainment industry. We Rappers..."

"That's enough, my husband's back. I have to go."

"Ah? He forgave you?"

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep."

The call ended. The female protagonist, a former A-list celebrity who had been married for several years and was now somewhat past her prime, looked up at the doorway and forced a smile onto her face.

"Honey, you're back."

"Mm."

Their exchange was brief, showing no signs of anger, perhaps only a hint of annoyance, but mostly indifference.

This was a very common arrangement in the entertainment industry – a marriage of convenience.

They always appeared loving in public, but only the individuals involved truly knew the reality.

The world of fame and fortune was a great dye vat, and temptations were always abundant.

The concept of "doing your own thing" was hardly new.

How many people dared claim to be pure and untainted?

As for Bai Youlou... he scoffed at the idea of being pure and untainted. He was as black as pitch himself.

His involvement in the entertainment industry wasn't about going with the flow; it was about using an even lower moral standard to crush others.

I'll be back someday to deal with you scumbags!

After all, his script was almost finished.

Bai Youlou's agent was named Zhou Chongguang. It was a ridiculously outlandish name, but thankfully, this was a parallel world, and there was no "Little Four."

Everyone usually called him Old Zhou.

But in reality, Old Zhou wasn't old at all; he was under thirty this year.

He was a bit chubby, which gave him a somewhat comical appearance.

He had transitioned into being an agent mid-career. He had studied directing in college and was Bai Youlou's senior.

After spending a few years on film sets, he finally managed to become an assistant director. However, following the failure of a project, he found himself temporarily unemployed.

Confused, he used his connections to take on a temporary role as an agent, and ended up doing it for several years.

According to Old Zhou, he was planning to look for a new job in advance. After all, having managed an artist like this, his future career as an agent was likely in jeopardy.

However, Bai Youlou's idea also inspired him. If he wasn't going to be an agent anymore, he could go back to doing other behind-the-scenes work.

If all else failed, he could find a job on a film set. He had been an assistant director before, worked as an agent for several years, and was a graduate of a professional program with industry connections. He still had some contacts he could leverage.

But after a period of absence, Old Zhou returned.

The reason was that Bai Youlou had sent him fifty thousand yuan.

The reason was that simple, direct, and crude.

No one would turn down money. He didn't care what madness Bai Youlou was up to; as long as he was paid, he would do the job, even if it meant working as a pimp or a gigolo who needed an agent.

"But where did you get the money? Even if the company doesn't sue you for damages, you'll still have to pay breach of contract fees for some endorsements. The money you earned in two years should have been almost entirely used up by now," Old Zhou asked curiously, having already received his salary.

"Sold my house and car. Should have a few million left."

"Ah? Then where are you going to live?"

"I still have a small apartment. That's enough. Stop with the nonsense. This is a movie script. Let's assemble a crew."

Bai Youlou unconsciously rubbed his hands together, his eyes bloodshot, but he exuded a strange sense of excitement.

It was almost as if he were going mad.

Seeing him like this, Old Zhou felt an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity.

He had managed this guy for years and had never seen Bai Youlou like this before.

How to put it? The old Bai Youlou was a shy young man, but since the incident... he had become bold, shameless, arrogant, and gave off the vibe of a gambler.

No, an ultimate gambling addict!

This guy was actually willing to sell everything he owned for an all-in bet?

Old Zhou didn't even glance at the script, not even the title. He just asked curiously, "What are the odds?"

"Thirty to forty percent," Bai Youlou said honestly.

That was an optimistic estimate. He was audacious, but not blindly arrogant. Who said that replicating a work from Earth was guaranteed to succeed here? At most, he had prior successful experience, which slightly increased the odds.

We still need to find ways to liven things up from every angle.

Forget parallel worlds; even if he traveled back a few years in his original world and made Wolf Warrior 2 early, he wouldn't have Wu Jing's box office numbers.

Many works emphasize the importance of timing, location, and people; you can't lack any of them.

"You're really willing to sell off your assets for this?!"

"It's fine. If this doesn't work out, I have ways to get money. We can just try again in a while."

Damn! I'm impressed!

Only then did Old Zhou look down at the script. It was very rough, just printed on a stack of A4 paper and held together with a random binder clip.

The title of the script was written in bold, thick black font on the first A4 page.

Whiplash.
