The Domestic Entertainment Industry Is Finished

Shen Ranxin forced a smile and looked at Director Chen, who was standing to one side. "Even though I didn't make any money this time, I earned thirty thousand for the production team last time..."

Director Chen let out a sinister laugh. He had practically been chewing the Quick-Acting Heart Rescue Pills Shen Ranxin had driven him to take like candy. Now that he finally got to see Shen Ranxin suffer, there was no way he would let him off!

"Rewards earned previously will not be counted together with this round. All guests, please take note."

Shen Ranxin ground his teeth and turned to leave.

Lu Zhi caught his wrist. "Where are you going?"

"Where else? To pick up my five-yuan Rolls-Royce coupon!"

Lu Zhi pondered for two seconds. "At this hour, the fragments of your five-yuan Rolls-Royce coupon... should already be lying in a trash can. Are you sure you'll be able to find them if you go back?"

Shen Ranxin: "..."

"That waiter has probably already been fired too, so you can't even go back and ask for another one." Lu Zhi sighed. "What should we do, baby? It looks like we have to accept the punishment."

Shen Ranxin frowned and pulled away from him. "Fine, we'll accept it. But please stay farther away from me, President Lu. Your dog stink is choking me."

Lu Zhi's eyes curved with a smile. "The scent of your devoted dog?"

"You're pretty good at piling on flattering modifiers for yourself, President Lu." Shen Ranxin sneered. "No. It's the smell of a cheap dog."

A trace of darkness flashed through Lu Zhi's eyes, but then he smiled again. "Teacher Shen's words are getting more and more spirited. Looks like I need to make that recording of Teacher Shen giving me happiness a little longer."

Shen Ranxin conceded defeat. With the tips of his ears red, he cursed viciously, "Pervert!"

Jiang Ye and Fang Yu were once again the last to return, but this time, they had earned quite a decent sum—two or three thousand, at least.

Gu Yifei, who had worked himself to the bone handing out flyers all afternoon only to earn twenty points, was insanely jealous. He moved closer and asked curiously, "How did you manage to earn so many points?"

At that, Jiang Ye pressed his lips together and turned his face away, clearly unwilling to answer Gu Yifei's question.

Fang Yu smiled flawlessly. "We merely took part in an event at a restaurant."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Shen Ranxin: "?"

He turned to look at the two of them, his expression shifting from shock to that of an old man staring at a phone on the subway. "You... really did it?"

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes with a smile and said brightly, "It was only a temporary measure. We just had to act it out a little. I've done it plenty of times before, but it seems Captain Jiang was doing it for the first time, so he was a little shy."

Shen Ranxin took a deep breath and leaned closer, lowering his voice. "Teacher Fang has acted in that kind of thing before?"

Fang Yu nodded. "I'm an actor. As long as the script is good, having a bit of that sort of scene is perfectly normal."

Shen Ranxin clicked his tongue and shook his head.

The domestic entertainment industry really was finished. Even a Triple Crown Best Actor like Fang Yu had to act in adult films!

"No, then how did you get three thousand while we only got one thousand?" Shen Ranxin paused before asking, "It couldn't be because we were useless, right...?"

Fang Yu frowned, seemingly unable to understand what Shen Ranxin meant. "What are you talking about? What do you mean, useless?"

Shen Ranxin coughed. "That restaurant event. Lu... cough, and I took part too, but nothing happened between us."

Fang Yu asked in confusion, "Didn't they require participants to be an AO couple? Captain Jiang and I only pretended to be a couple and helped them shoot a set of Valentine's Day promotional posters."

Shen Ranxin: "...You only shot posters?"

Fang Yu nodded. "Only posters. Even the kiss was filmed at an angle. It was probably Captain Jiang's first time shooting this kind of poster, so he was a little shy. What's wrong?"

Still unwilling to give up, Shen Ranxin asked, "They were proper posters?"

Fang Yu fell silent for a moment at the question, then turned to meet Shen Ranxin's gaze.

Having spent years in the entertainment industry, Fang Yu finally belatedly understood what Shen Ranxin was implying.

"Teacher Shen... you..." Fang Yu stammered. "What exactly is going on in your head? Of course they were proper posters! They were promotional posters for the restaurant on Valentine's Day! You... I knew you were a pervert, but this is too perverted! Our country has a complete legal system!"

Misunderstood to the core by Fang Yu, Shen Ranxin opened his mouth to explain, only to realize he had no idea how to explain it.

He couldn't exactly say that he and Lu Zhi had nearly filmed the adult movie Fang Yu was talking about, could he?

So he paused, shut his mouth, and gave up completely. Closing his eyes, he said, "I'm a pervert. I'm guilty."

Lu Zhi had been standing nearby and listening to their entire conversation. A faint laugh escaped his lips.

Fang Yu sensitively turned toward him and said sternly, "What are you laughing at? Don't tell me you also thought I took Captain Jiang to shoot an adult movie?"

"No." Lu Zhi's voice fell beside Shen Ranxin's ear, lazy and smug. "I just think a pervert and a mad dog are a perfect match."

Fang Yu: "..."

Show off your fucking romance at noon, then. You'll break up sooner or later anyway!

Fuck, psychos. A whole bunch of psychos!

Shen Ranxin took a deep breath and consoled himself not to stoop to the level of a cheap dog.

After Lu Zhi lost control twice, Shen Ranxin had completely figured out that lunatic's habits.

Lu Zhi was like an energy bar. Every time Shen Ranxin resisted, it charged Lu Zhi's energy bar. Once it was fully charged, that lunatic would lose his mind without a care.

After he finished going crazy, he would go back to being that peacock who never fought back or argued and only knew how to show off every day, then start charging his energy bar all over again. It was a vicious cycle.

Shen Ranxin had been straighter than a roadside utility pole his entire life. He never expected that after transmigrating into a novel to play a vicious supporting villain, every single person in the book would be eyeing his ass. His rear nearly hadn't survived.

[Captain Jiang is truly the number one pure-love guy! He only filmed a couple's poster with an angled kiss, yet the tips of his ears have been burning this whole time!]

[The god of pure love has fallen.]

[Teacher Fang handled it with ease. As expected of an experienced actor—he must be totally unfazed by things like kissing scenes, right?]

[I feel like they really kissed. There were even strings of saliva between their lips. And you call that pure love?]

[If we're talking pure love, shouldn't we look at the Lu Zhi and Cheng Cheng CP fans next door, who used to scream the loudest? Ever since filming began, they've sincerely wanted the other person to go die somewhere far away.]

[You just redefined pure love, didn't you?]

[Enough! Doesn't the Cheng-Zhi Couple's life count as a life too?!]

[Anyone still shipping Cheng-Zhi gets laughed at for the rest of their life, hahahahahahaha]
