Acting fee

After remaining silent, the police officer quickly left.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Qiang and Xu Yu's mother also wanted to sneak away.

But just then, a sinister voice sounded behind them.

"When did I say you could leave? You already agreed to make a movie for me. Even if it was just a verbal agreement, it's still an agreement! Are you trying to break it?"

Xu Yi frowned, his face showing displeasure.

"My pay is only one yuan. Even if I break the contract, I'll just compensate you that one yuan!"

Xu Qiang, seeing that he couldn't leave, didn't think much of it.

One yuan?

Xu Yi looked disdainful.

"Payment is payment, breach of contract is breach of contract. Your value is one dollar, do you think my time is as worthless as yours?"

As he spoke, Xu Yi held up one finger and wagged it.

"How much money do you want? I'll add two zeros and give you 100 yuan!"

"100 yuan? The penalty for breach of contract is 100 million!"

[Negative emotions +100]

"Ah?"

Xu Qiang was instantly furious, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

He was only paid one yuan, which was bad enough, but now he hasn't even received one yuan and is being asked to pay 100 million yuan in compensation?

If he could come up with 100 million, why would he act like a bloodsucker, forcing Xu Yu give him money?

"Can't I just act it out?"

Xu Qiang said with a bitter face.

He completely gave in.

"It's too late. I feel the plot isn't exciting enough; the script needs to be revised."

[Shocked Emotion increased by 200]

Playing a mentally ill person and going crazy in the street isn't exciting enough, and losing control of one's bladder and bowels isn't exciting enough either. What could be more exciting?

Xu Qiang's legs went weak; he had completely collapsed.

"Boss, it's definitely not exciting enough. While it provides sensory stimulation, it lacks sufficient plot twists!"

Wu Qian nodded in agreement.

"A plot twist? That would require a lot of acting skills. Why don't we find a place to practice and hone our skills first?"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

"I remember tomorrow is the Actor Gala hosted by Du Rufeng. Xu Qiang, you pretended to be mentally ill, went crazy and attacked a female star. On the surface, it was a farce for filming, but deep down you are a real psychopath. In the end, you were arrested and sentenced to prison. Isn't that a plot twist enough?"

Shocked Emotion increased by 100.

Shockingly clear, plus 100 points.

Negative emotions plus 999.

Xu Yu and Wu Qian stared blankly at Xu Yi, stunned by Xu Yi bold idea.

Xu Qiang cursed out loud. If he hadn't felt he couldn't beat Xu Yi, he would have already gone up and risked his life.

The viewers in the Livestream Room were practically bursting with laughter.

"Holy crap, this plot twist is amazing! Film it already, I'll definitely watch it three times in a row!"

"Director Xu, please make sure you complete this masterpiece, and make sure we see this dramatic twist!"

"If you dare to take a picture, I'll buy you 100 tickets. I'll live in the movie theater!"

"Upstairs, you don't actually want to watch a movie, you clearly want to see something steamy!"

"Since there's already such a twist, why not make it even more surprising! Use fireworks to create a smoke bomb, then pretend to be provoked and about to self-destruct, attracting a sniper who can then seal off the scene and kill him on the spot. I think that would be an even bigger twist! Director, do you think I have a talent for screenwriting?"

Xu Qiang, who finally came to his senses, was completely paralyzed with fear. He knelt on the ground and frantically kowtowed to Xu Yi.

He regretted it.

Why does he act like a parasite? Why does he force Xu Yu act in movies to earn money to support him?

If he had known he would run into a monster like Xu Yi, he would have preferred to honestly work as a construction worker!

When Xu Yu, she was startled to see Xu Yi's serious expression, as if he were seriously considering the plot.

Could Xu Yi really be human?

He wasn't just trying to scare people.

"Xu Yi, this plot you wrote is so explosive, most people really couldn't have come up with it..."

Xu Yu didn't know what to say to praise Xu Yi.

Having spent so many years in the Entertainment Industry, she considers herself to have a very thick skin, and she can easily spout flattering words and platitudes.

But he really didn't know what to say to praise Xu Yi.

This guy's imagination is too wild—no, is he even thinking of scenarios a human could come up with?

"Mr. Xu, please forgive my son! I will never again favor boys over girls, and I will never Xu Yu again. From now on, I will turn over a new leaf and start anew, and I will treat all my children equally!"

Xu Yu's mother walked up shakily, so frightened that she could hardly breathe, as if she would faint in a few seconds.

She finally saw through him: Xu Yi may seem carefree on the surface, but when he really started to torment people, it was something neither she nor her son could endure.

"Oh dear, ma'am, why are you so scared?"

Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Am I the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong? Someone with such a kind face and gentle appearance looks like an easy-going and kind person!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu is clearly a very good person. I knew you wouldn't hold it against us!"

Xu Yu's mother, seizing the opportunity, was about to praise Xu Yi when she saw him change the subject.

"Let's forget about attacking Actor. Let's change it to attacking male Actor. I've heard some male Actor like to play with contrast, pretending to be effeminate. They're clearly grown men, but they act like they're girls, and they even like to act young. I think finding a effeminate woman would create a more striking contrast!"

[Negative emotions +100]

Seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, Xu Yu's mother gasped and felt her vision go black.

Xu Yi didn't seem to be joking!

Xu Yu's mother quickly said:

"Mr. Xu, no matter who you attack, it's still disrupting social order. Even if you're filming, you have to be mindful of the impact, don't you?"

"Well said! Social order is everyone's responsibility, and safeguarding a harmonious society is the duty of every citizen!"

Xu Yi clapped his hands in praise.

Xu Yu's mother wiped away her cold sweat, thinking that she and her son were about to escape a disaster, Xu Yi suddenly clapped his hands and changed the subject again.

"But you two are beasts both on and off screen, so there's absolutely no need to care about that."

[Negative emotions +500]

Xu Yu's mother is in a completely hopeless situation!

We're doomed!

Is Xu Yu's Boss some kind of reincarnation of a demon child? How come he's so good at causing trouble for people?

Xu Yu and Wu Qian stood to the side, trying not to laugh; their facial muscles were practically twitching.

"Those of you who just thought Xu Yi would get bullied, do you still dare to chime in now?"

"Dare to offend Xu Yi? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he'd be devastated several times over!"

"Xu Yi really knows how to torment people! I can't even imagine the mental pressure anyone who goes against him must be under!"

"Let's mourn for this beastly mother and child. They'll live in Xu Yi's shadow for the rest of their lives, waking up terrified from their dreams!"

"Xu Yi so cute, I want to be his girlfriend!"

In the Livestream Room, a barrage of comments flashed by rapidly.

At the same time, Xu Yi glanced at it and his eyes lit up slightly.

We can redeem items again.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have met the standard!"

"A reward of one Master Director of the Arts Experience!"

Xu Yi was overjoyed to see what the system had given him.

He really does give you whatever he wants.

This Director experience is far more valuable than money or resources.

Although he obtained hundreds of millions of assets from Du Rufeng, as the saying goes, sitting idle will eventually lead to ruin, and no amount of money can compare to having the skills in hand.

Don't be fooled by Du Rufeng's loss of over 100 million; money is just money. If he can't make hit movies, his entertainment company will go bankrupt sooner or later.

If Du Rufeng could just calm down and produce a few hit short dramas, he could earn back the advertising fees, not to mention short-term income.

Now that we have the resources and are already planning to make a film, why not just actually make one and see what happens!

If Wang Mingde can film it, why can't Xu Yi?
