Sister Yifei: We Meet Again

Hearing that he could play a supporting role and act alongside the main leads, Zhang Yang "really came around."

The Four Great Constables was indeed a bad movie, but its negative impact only targeted the main actors, director, and scriptwriters.

In most cases, the main creative team profits the most when a film or TV series is successful, and bears the brunt of criticism when it fails. Whether a supporting actor profits, and how much, depends more on their own performance.

If the supporting role is played well and the main leads also perform well, they get to eat meat while you get to drink soup.

If the supporting role is played well but the main leads are incompetent, you have an opportunity to gain critical acclaim by stepping on the main leads.

Take The Four Great Constables for example. While main actors like Deng Chao and Liu Yifei were criticized for acting in a bad movie, Uncle Wu, who made a cameo as the villain, received countless compliments.

Furthermore, supporting actors in big-budget productions can enrich their resumes.

For Zhang Yang, it also means building connections and gaining Character Points.

The benefits are numerous!

"That's more like it!"

Lin Feng wasn't surprised by Zhang Yang's change of tune.

In the entertainment industry, you have to seize every opportunity to improve.

After interacting with him for a while, he considered Zhang Yang a smart person.

"Filming starts tomorrow afternoon. Director Chen will be observing, so don't feel pressured. Just perform at your usual level, and I guarantee this role will be yours," Lin Feng said with a calm tone, yet his words were authoritative.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, I definitely won't embarrass you," Zhang Yang replied earnestly.

Since he was going to make a move, he didn't plan on failing.

His eyes flickered as he asked, "Brother Lin, do you know anything about Chao Ge's original stunt double?"

Lin Feng didn't disappoint Zhang Yang and gave an affirmative answer: "I do. It was Mu Panlong. He played the Japanese assassin leader 'Rikishi Takeshi' in Cosmic Dan's starring film Legend of the Fist. Have you heard of him?"

Mu Panlong?

Zhang Yang actually knew this person.

He had participated in Director Xiao Gangpao's 1942 and the acclaimed drama Red Sorghum.

"I've heard of him. A Japanese professional boxer. He played the Japanese officer Iida in Lu Chuan's City of Life and Death," Zhang Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

Since the role originally belonged to a Japanese person, he would seize it even more unapologetically.

Moreover, Mu Panlong played Cen Chong, a constable in the Six Doors, in The Four Great Constables. It was a supporting role with significant screen time, and playing it brilliantly could garner attention.

"Yes, that's the Japanese guy, Mu Panlong. He's a bit more famous than you for now and is also a trained fighter. If you snatch his role, I'll treat you to a meal."

Lin Feng actively offered a chance for a supporting role audition, and if Zhang Yang won it, he would even treat him to a meal. It was clear Lin Feng was a patriotic youth, destined to film The Battle at Lake Changjin later.

"Just you watch, Brother."

Zhang Yang chatted with Lin Feng for a while before hanging up the phone at Nazha's door.

Click!

Before Zhang Yang could knock, Nazha opened the door, clearly having been watching the situation outside.

Her face was bare of makeup, her hair tied into a bun. She was stunningly beautiful yet exuded a hint of cuteness, making people unable to look away. She had an appeal that captivated both men and women.

"Let's go," Zhang Yang said nonchalantly.

Nazha's beauty was indeed outstanding, but after observing her for a while, he had developed some resistance.

Moreover, he had recently been struck by Liu Yifei's beauty, which was more in line with his aesthetic as an Eastern man.

Nazha looked at Zhang Yang with undisguised joy in her eyes.

For someone like her, who was head over heels in love, concealing her feelings felt like a sacrilege.

Zhang Yang pretended not to notice and chatted with Nazha as they walked to the Hengdian Blue X Cinema.

"Two tickets for Shaolin, are there any seats left in the middle of row five?" Zhang Yang handed money to the cashier.

"Yes," the female cashier replied, her gaze flicking between Zhang Yang and Nazha, her eyes filled with admiration. "Would you like couple's seats? They're more spacious and come with popcorn and two Cokes."

Nazha looked at Zhang Yang, indicating that he should make the decision.

"No, thank you," Zhang Yang shook his head and refused. "She's nearsighted; she won't be able to see clearly sitting in the front."

Hearing the first half, Nazha felt a bit disappointed, thinking Zhang Yang was being overly cautious.

But upon hearing the second half, she was instantly revitalized.

So Zhang Yang wasn't avoiding her; he knew she was nearsighted, clearly paying attention to her.

The smallest details were the most touching!

"Here are your tickets," the ticket attendant handed two slips of paper to Zhang Yang.

It was time to enter, so Zhang Yang bought a snack combo and joined Nazha at the ticket gate queue.

Nazha took a cup of Coke. Seeing Zhang Yang seemed a bit distracted, she pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Yang, you were zoning out a few times in the car just now. What were you thinking about?"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before replying, "When do you think we'll get to act in movies?"

So he was thinking about his career. Nazha's heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. "With your talent and conditions, Brother Yang, you'll definitely be acting in movies soon."

Zhang Yang's eyes flickered slightly. "Our Tangren's movie resources are terrible. You can check for yourself when you have time. Even Old Hu and Sister Shishi don't have any well-known movies."

"Ah?" Nazha was very surprised. "Our Tangren is that bad?"

"Indeed, it's not good," Zhang Yang nodded.

Everyone in the industry knew it!

"But I've already signed a contract," Nazha showed a troubled expression.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh. "You're a newcomer in the entertainment industry that no one has heard of. Focus on becoming famous first, and you're already complaining about Tangren."

Nazha:?

"Aren't I complaining along with you?" Nazha's pretty face flushed slightly.

Her previous statement was indeed a bit ignorant of the world.

"How can you compare yourself to me?" Zhang Yang smiled. "As you said, with my skills and conditions, I'll be able to make movies soon."

Nazha:?

So what was wrong with what I said at the beginning?

It's over, I feel like my brain isn't working well enough.

Zhang Yang pulled the dazed Nazha along to get their tickets checked.

What he didn't notice was that a woman in a long dress and mask had been watching him and Nazha from the exit.

"Liying, what are you looking at?"

A woman wearing a mask and casual clothes sat down in the empty seat next to the woman in the white dress.

"It's nothing, Sheng," Zhao Liying smiled softly. "I just saw the person who helped me the other day."

"Then aren't you going to say hello?" Li Sheng looked towards the ticket gate.

"Let's not," Zhao Liying took Li Sheng's hand. "He's taking his girlfriend to the movies. If I go to thank him now, it'll be too much of a disturbance."

Hearing this, Li Sheng said no more. "Then let's go back."

Zhao Liying nodded and stood up, taking another look at Zhang Yang's retreating back. "It seems he has high standards and is also a good person."

Nearly two hours later.

Nazha and Zhang Yang walked out of the cinema. Nazha said listlessly, "I didn't expect Xie Tingfeng to play a villain, and such a bad one."

Zhang Yang smiled calmly. "People who are too handsome, if they don't want to be called idol actors, will play villains to prove their acting skills. It's also a form of limitation."

Nazha nodded thoughtfully.

The two returned to the hotel and went to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day at noon, Zhang Yang and Nazha arrived at the film set after finishing lunch.

This scene was in the original script, but after Lin Feng discussed it with Lin Ziwei, the scale of the scene was made even grander.

Lin Ziwei initially disagreed, but after hearing that Zhang Yang might have a chance to play an important supporting role in The Four Great Constables, she immediately changed her mind.

"Director Chen, Sister Ziwei, Brother Hua, Senior Brother, Chao Ge, Sister Yifei."

Led by Lin Feng, Zhang Yang greeted the several big stars on set one by one. Finally, he stood before Liu Yifei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even this 'immortal sister' likes to join the fun?

Liu Yifei was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that coming to join the fun on a whim would lead her to meet Zhang Yang, whom she had only met briefly last night. And he was the acting powerhouse that Director Lin Feng had highly recommended!

A slight smile appeared on Liu Yifei's lips. "Hello, we meet again so soon."

Zhang Yang's mouth twitched slightly. "."

Everyone: There's gossip!

Nazha: Danger!
