Bro, You've Gone Viral
Xu Yi glanced at the On-Site Assistant, smiled slightly, and then suddenly raised his middle finger.
"Apologize? I'll never apologize in my life! I love seeing people with sour faces! Little brother, you're still too naive. Let me show you!"
The On-Site Assistant looked completely bewildered.
With such a tight filming schedule, how can Xu Yi still manage to smile?
"Just because the lead actor isn't here doesn't mean we can't continue filming. Who says that? I'll just step in and solve the problem!"
Xu Yi smiled faintly, and before his assistant could finish speaking, he pressed him in front of the big screen. After a series of dazzling actions, a very catchy and Bilibili-style meme video appeared on the screen.
I love Braised Pork Intestines! I can't stop eating them! They're absolutely delicious!
Accompanied by catchy, addictive music, the big screen continuously showed Liao Zisheng enjoying pig intestines with relish.
The On-Site Assistant stared blankly at the screen, completely dumbfounded.
Is the person in the picture really Liao Zisheng?
Damn it, is this still the mortal realm?
Where did Xu Yi get it?
Seeing Liao Zisheng's stunned expression, Xu Yi gently patted his shoulder.
Little brother, you've learned something new, haven't you?
So what if we don't click? So what if the Actor aren't cooperative?
Why not just use AI tools and Meme Video Tools to film it yourself?
All you need is a picture of Liao Zisheng's face, and you can generate whatever you want to see!
"Mr. Xu, what you're doing... wouldn't that be considered copyright infringement?"
"He's just an Actor, what right does he have to accuse me of copyright infringement? I'm already being lenient by not demanding compensation for my absence!"
"But..."
"No buts. We all have hardworking hands. We'll edit whatever the audience wants to see, and we'll dub whatever the audience wants to hear. The main character resists? Who does the main character think he is? Does he have the right to give an opinion?"
[Shock Points +100]
The On-Site Assistant was shocked; she hadn't known it could be interpreted that way.
[Shock Points +100]
The audience was also stunned.
"Waaaaah, what Xu Yi said was absolutely right!"
"Xu Yi, you're a fucking genius! You were born for this! The Directing World would be a huge loss without you!"
"To be honest, I had absolutely no interest in 'Actors Please Take Your Place' or 'Liao Zisheng,' but after watching this parody, I suddenly want to watch it!"
Xu Yi glanced at the Livestream Room and chuckled.
"Look at the audience's reaction, they support me too."
The On-Site Assistant stared at the screen, utterly speechless.
He knew Xu Yi was good at creating hype, otherwise he wouldn't have so much attention and fans, but wasn't Xu Yi a little too good at it?
If Xu Yi does things this way, there's no need for a main character at all. As long as someone has a face, they can make up any plot they want!
But after thinking about it, he realized there was nothing wrong with it.
If it weren't for Liao Zisheng's diva-like behavior, today's shoot would have been a great success.
Liao Zisheng can simply walk away, but he has to be accountable to the Investors.
That guy surnamed Liao only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't care about his own life or death, so why should I care about him?
The assistant was furious when it came to the idea of her being arrogant.
Can't this bald, sleazy guy, who's been out of work for twenty years, at least know his own worth? Does he really think he's some big shot?
Xu Yi took a different approach, creating a promotional video that had a phenomenal impact. The online response was so positive that he felt he had accomplished his goal. Liao Zisheng wasn't happy about it; who did he think he was?
He should go and protest to the Investors, and see if they care about him.
"Dear colleagues, thank you all for your hard work today. Tonight, I'm treating you to hot pot, and there will be big red envelopes too."
With Xu Yi clapping, and amidst cheers from the staff, the first day of filming officially came to an end.
In the Lounge, all the staff went to eat hot pot, but Liao Zisheng was starving and couldn't find anything to eat.
Of course, there was plenty of Nine-Turn Large Intestine, but he simply couldn't swallow it.
"Damn it, this is outrageous! You guys are absolutely bullying us!"
Liao Zisheng was furious. He went back to his room and brushed his teeth frantically, but he still felt like he smelled like intestines.
Just as he was brushing his teeth until they bled, he suddenly received a phone call.
"Who the hell called? Spit it out... Young Master Du? What, is that you?"
"Did you eat shit? Your mouth stinks like that."
On the phone came Du Rufeng's furious voice.
Upon hearing this, Liao Zisheng, who had just thought the taste was a bit mild, suddenly felt nauseous again.
"Young Master Du, how could I possibly eat feces? I just ate some pig intestines during filming today..."
"Isn't eating pig intestines just eating feces? Liao Zisheng, I understand you're under a lot of pressure because you're balding, but you can't torture yourself by eating feces, can you?"
Du Rufeng screamed; you could almost see his shocked and disgusted face through the screen.
Liao Zisheng was in tears.
He doesn't have any special fetishes; he was just tricked!
"Young Master Du, the large intestine was thoroughly cleaned, and I didn't eat it raw; it was a famous dish, Nine-Turn Large Intestine!"
To protect his reputation, Liao Zisheng had no choice but to begin clearing the name of the Nine-Turn Large Intestine!
I have to explain!
Otherwise, wouldn't that confirm his fetish for eating feces...?
After a moment, Liao Zisheng finished his explanation, and there was silence on the other end.
"Young Master Du, listen to me! Xu Yi is bullying me! I'm a vegetarian, and they tricked me into eating Nine-Turn Large Intestine!"
Liao Zisheng protested his innocence.
Du Rufeng fell silent again.
"Young Master Du..."
"I have no interest in your personal hobbies. I'm calling to ask you how your infiltration is going and how many helpers you've found."
Du Rufeng said.
If you like eating pig intestines, then eat them! This generation is tough, especially for former idols who have to maintain their image. They're under immense pressure. So what if they have a few unusual preferences?
Of course, if we meet again in the future, be sure to wear a gas mask!
When it came to serious matters, Liao Zisheng finally mustered his energy.
"Young Master Du, don't worry, Xu Yi doesn't suspect me at all! I'll use this opportunity to strike and quit filming today. He'll definitely come begging to me for forgiveness because of his schedule. Then I'll use that chance to curry favor with him, infiltrate his inner circle, and definitely turn everyone around him against me!"
Liao Zisheng chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Du Rufeng on the other end of the phone smiled slightly.
Excellent, very good!
Yesterday, after learning that Liao Zisheng was in the cast of "Actors Please Take Your Place Seats," he immediately bribed him.
It's incredibly easy to bribe a washed-up Actor.
Once Liao Zisheng infiltrates Xu Yi's inner circle, he can use Liao Zisheng to create trouble for Xu Yi!
If he can bribe a few more people, he can launch a simultaneous attack when Xu Yi starts filming his new movie, plunging Xu Yi into an abyss and sending him to prison!
"Young Master Du, I've cooperated so much, do you think I can be repackaged and go for Middle-Aged Idol Uncle?"
"Sure, sure, I'll take a look."
Du Rufeng readily agreed and then hung up the phone.
Liao Zisheng put down his phone, overjoyed.
Young Master Du has agreed, my chance has come!
Just then, the phone rang again.
Liao Zisheng was slightly taken aback and looked at his phone, only to see that another message had been sent.
"Liao Zisheng, look at the Douyin Hot Search! You're on the list!"
