Youth Tian Guang!

"Give me a name..."

Zhang Guangmu said in a flat tone, as if narrating someone else's story: "I am in darkness, but my heart yearns for light."

"I long to be bathed in light, to live under the sun like everyone else, instead of forever walking in darkness."

"I also want to become light, to illuminate the world."

Inside the White Ball, the Shou Mu Ren, who were gradually becoming excited, were ready to start spamming the chat when Zhang Guangmu blurted out: "So, you can call me [Tian Guang]!"

Originally, Zhang Guangmu wanted to be simple and crude, and directly give himself the stage name "Long Aotian." After thinking about it carefully, he decided to play it safe and develop steadily, being a little more honest.

After all, Zhang Guangmu could tell that Director Sun was a cunning old fox. If he stole too much of the spotlight here, he might be quickly eliminated by the other party using Script Hints.

"Wolf Fortress" and "Endless Food Bag" had different basic World Settings and did not have a built-in "Super Recovery ability." Zhang Guangmu did not have the capital to mess around everywhere for the time being and needed to develop low-key for a while.

The casual viewers didn't find any problem with the name [Tian Guang]. They just thought Zhang Guangmu's chuunibyou was deeply ingrained, perfectly embedded in the deepest part of his Subconscious, and could be called "chuunibyou cancer."

In the eyes of the vast majority of the audience, the most exciting part of this scene was the Conflict between Zhang Guangmu and Lin Xuan. The rest was just filler.

It was nothing more than Zhang Guangmu, a small supporting role, giving himself a name and evolving into a minor Supporting Character.

However, Zhang Guangmu's Fans were filled with anticipation after hearing the first half, waiting for him to name himself "Zhang Guangmu" or "Guangmu."

But...

As it turned out, keeping up with Zhang Guangmu's thought process was indeed quite challenging.

"Tian Guang."

Lin Xuan frowned, and in an instant, he gave two explanations: "The light in the sky? Or... 'The Light of Natural Wisdom'?"

He sized up Zhang Guangmu, realizing that this person might not be just a simple Idiot.

That's right.

If Zhang Guangmu were a pure Idiot, he wouldn't have been able to become a Wolf Rider, let alone obtain such a powerful "other half."

At this moment, Lin Xuan belatedly realized a problem: "Wait!"

"You are an orphan adopted by Father, and now you've become a Wolf Rider, so that means..."

He looked at Zhang Guangmu as if he had seen a ghost: "You are the 'Companion Slayer' who stood out from this year's Water Prison Trial?"

The title "Companion Slayer" didn't sound good, but these simple and pure five words clearly and completely depicted Zhang Guangmu's debut achievements.

Before, when Zhang Guangmu said his hands were stained with blood, Lin Xuan thought he was bragging.

Now, looking back...

Perhaps they weren't bragging at all, but speaking the truth!

Hearing this nickname, Zhang Guangmu couldn't help but want to complain.

"Companion Slayer? How long has it only been..."

Do the actors brought by the "Wolf Fortress" production team all have hidden gossip attributes?

He clearly acted in self-defense, killing the guy who wanted to eliminate him, right?

Muttering this new title, Zhang Guangmu said as if to himself, "I feel like it's not quite fitting, I don't deserve this title..."

"Or, should I look for opportunities to kill a few more in the future?"

This wasn't pure nonsense; there really was a "future."

When signing the contract, Zhang Guangmu knew that the entire filming period for "Wolf Fortress" would consume about three days of real-world time.

Although the entire process wouldn't exceed four days at most, the time span reflected in the Film World was significantly longer than that of the "Endless Food Bag"!

As everyone knows, the time flow ratio between different Subconscious Films and the Real World varies. The specific ratio depends on the results of the production team's negotiations with the relevant imperial departments.

According to the entire story told in the "Wolf Fortress" script, including side quests, if no major accidents occur, the time span in the current Film World will be about three months. Based on the ratio, this world can only exist for a maximum of four months.

According to the Imperial Iron Law, if filming exceeds the predetermined time limit, Director Sun will most likely be imprisoned like Director Qian Yiyuan, or even spend more time in jail.

As for the cat at home...

Zhang Guangmu had stocked enough cat food and water at home and wasn't worried about Mooncake at all.

If that orange cat could only muddle through based on its species and appearance value, it wouldn't have become Household 002 of that house.

"Kill a few more?"

Lin Xuan, who had just conceived the idea of befriending Zhang Guangmu, felt a chill down his spine and goosebumps all over his arms upon hearing this.

He chewed on the words that were about to leave his mouth, swallowed them, and said nothing about befriending him.

"Then, we'll meet again if fate allows."

With that, Lin Xuan, with his Little Flame Wolf King, fled down the street as if escaping.

Above Wolf Fortress, Director Sun, who had transformed into a small golden ball, fell silent.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, "Zhang Guangmu... is quite interesting."

"I underestimated him."

Seeing their leader speak, the other little black balls in the production team didn't dare to let the conversation die down and eagerly chimed in.

"He's just a newcomer, and he's only filmed one other movie. There's too little data to judge his potential for development."

"Zhang Guangmu is officially rated as a one-star Subconscious Actor by the Empire. It would be strange if he had no ability at all."

"Yeah... Zhang Guangmu, who has only filmed 'Endless Food Bag,' has shown too little regardless of how outstanding his performance was. Even a super director who can guide 'The Path of the Great Emperor' might not be able to accurately judge his abilities!"

"The director is right. Zhang Guangmu's performance just now was indeed good. He's definitely qualified to play a supporting character!"

Director Sun smiled and said meaningfully, "You only see the surface and haven't noticed the essence."

"Originally, with Yang Chi's personality and subconscious, facing such a humiliating situation, he would only suppress the humiliation and anger in his heart, using it as motivation to strive forward, just like when I was kicked out of the Subconscious Actor industry and forced to transition into directing."

"Learn humbly, treat yourself like a sponge, greedily absorbing knowledge and experience like water, accumulating strength for a powerful strike. Remain silent until you strike, and when you do, stun everyone with brilliance that no one can ignore!"

"What's most commendable is that when Yang Chi was weak, he was also skilled at using verbal weapons to protect himself, often achieving a balanced situation on stage, or even a superficial advantage."

"This makes it easy for the audience to continue following the story, preventing it from becoming too boring and causing them to give up."

Director Sun said so much in one breath, but found that the staff members beside him, who had transformed into little black balls, were indifferent. They were either trying to flatter him or had no intention of truly learning any real skills from him. He sighed and changed the subject: "But!"

"In the conflict with Zhang Guangmu, Yang Chi, who played Lin Xuan, fell into a disadvantage."

"This is not because his power, influence, fame, wealth, or status were inferior to Zhang Guangmu's."

"It's because Zhang Guangmu had already controlled the entire conversation, its scene, and its rhythm!"

"If this was a fluke of talent and a flash of inspiration, I can only say that Zhang Guangmu is a very spirited actor, very rare. In the future, he might become a qualified [Assassin] class actor, with his own unique competitiveness."

"If this wasn't a fluke, but an Instinct etched into his subconscious, then I can only say..."

"He is truly terrifying!"

Director Sun shook his head, which manifested as the Golden Little Lightball trembling in place. He gave a self-deprecating smile: "Thinking about it carefully, it's unlikely. Wisdom and experience require time to accumulate."

"Whether Zhang Guangmu will end up like Hou Zhengbeng, ruined and regressing, or become a star, it doesn't matter."

"In my opinion, Yang Chi is a mature and excellent actor, ready to be used immediately!"

"Zhang Guangmu has a promising future, but it's full of uncertainty."

"Therefore..."

"In my eyes, Yang Chi is stronger than Zhang Guangmu."

Among the little black balls, one that didn't seem to understand the situation jumped out and voiced its objection: "In 'Endless Food Bag,' Zhang Guangmu first subdued Zhao Zhengrong, the 'Newcomer Crusher,' and then defeated the Plot Protagonist Chu Fan. He has experience of a supporting character rising to prominence. Could Yang Chi also fail?"

Director Sun was looking at Yang Chi through rose-tinted glasses, as if seeing his younger self. He liked him no matter how he looked, wanting to make up for his regrets and past obsessions through him.

He confidently gave his answer: "'Wolf Fortress' is a play that I specifically hired several excellent scriptwriters and subconscious scholars to tailor-make for Yang Chi."

"This is Yang Chi's home ground. He, playing Lin Xuan, will be invincible!"

"Let alone a mere Zhang Guangmu..."

"Even Lin Yan, played by Zhu Tiannan, won't be Yang Chi's opponent!"
