When Ethan Jiang got off the boat in frustration, he felt a little weak all over.
He didn't find any of his assistants around, but there were a few extras who came up to him and tried to get close to him.
Ethan Jiang kept a polite smile on his face, but did not answer. He just walked quickly towards the empty park chair beside the lake.
He was already walking fast, but the little voices behind him were obviously even faster. Almost as soon as he stepped out of the crowd, those voices entered his ears:
"You're not even a big shot yet, but you're already acting like a big shot..."
Ethan Jiang looked straight ahead, walked a few steps to the bench and sat down. Now that his body was supported by something, the cells in his body that had been clamoring with fatigue finally calmed down a little.
He pressed his dizzy head and let out a long breath. Then he felt his whole body was cold and sticky. He couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, which ended up making his hands sweat.
Physical discomfort is nothing, after filming for so many years, Ethan Jiang has long been accustomed to it, and no longer takes being a little tired or painful seriously.
But if at this moment, there is another voice nagging in your head...
[The teaching mission is completed.]
[Grading for the tutorial mission begins.]
[Grade: B, Evaluation: Pass, Reward: --- (Hidden)]
[Congratulations to the host: The Dream Come True Assistance System tutorial has been completed, the system permissions are being unlocked, the system level 1 exchange item is unlocked, and the host has obtained a primary mental recovery potion x1...]
[Who are you?] Ethan Jiang thought calmly in his mind.
[System Max greets the host.] said the cold voice.
[What are you?] Ethan Jiang changed the question.
[I am Elf No. Max] Max said.
[What can that auxiliary system give me?] Ethan Jiang got to the point.
The voice in his mind paused for a moment, and then Ethan Jiang found a line of translucent words appearing in front of him:
[The ultimate mission of the system: become an internationally renowned superstar.
Mission description: Countless applause and spotlights, countless flowers and praises, you stand on the red carpet, and the world is at your feet. In this field, you create history, you write history, and all living beings in the past, present and future will worship you!
Specific conditions for completing the mission: Win the highest international award at least once, maintain S-level popularity for at least three years, and play the leading role in at least three films rated S.
Mission Reward: Empathize with any character at any time and anywhere.]
"Empathy?" Ethan Jiang murmured, "Does it mean putting yourself in the character's shoes and experiencing his actions like you did just now?"
[That’s right.] Max said.
Ethan Jiang quickly recalled the conversation between the two people just now and grasped the key point: "My mental energy is an important factor in supporting the substitution time?"
[That’s right.]Max.
"I can only stay in the role for three minutes at most now. How much energy does this consume from me?" Ethan Jiang asked.
[You can use your spiritual energy independently.] Max.
"...Can you be more specific and vivid?" Ethan Jiang asked tentatively.
The system elf was silent for a moment, and then Ethan Jiang heard a "biu---bang!" sound in his mind. At the same time, a small cloud of smoke exploded in front of his eyes. When the smoke dissipated, a three-headed man, no bigger than a palm, wearing a loose white shirt, appeared in front of Ethan Jiang, lying face down on the ground.
Ethan Jiang: ... I have a bad feeling...
The little man got up from the ground, revealing a face that was exactly a smaller and cuter version of Jiang Xingdi. He looked around, and suddenly stretched out his hand like pulling a carrot and dragged a red strip out of the air, which he placed on his head.
Ethan Jiang: What is this?
Then the little man pulled out a blue strip from the air that was two-thirds shorter than the red strip and put it on his head.
After finishing these two tasks, the little man heaved a sigh of relief as if he had accomplished a mission, and then he started to tidy up the red and blue stripes on his head, which seemed a bit careless.
...
Isn't this the life bar and spirit bar of the characters in the game? ?
Ethan Jiang finally reacted. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice someone approaching him. It was the other person who called out to him:
"Brother Jiang, lunch box!"
Ethan Jiang came back to his senses and looked over, and found that a boy wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants and looking somewhat familiar was standing next to him.
The young man was probably around 10 years old, with a very handsome face. However, in the entertainment industry, you can meet handsome men and beautiful women everywhere. When he smiled, he showed eight standard teeth, but he looked very casual, without any of the stiffness and rigidity that ordinary people have when they do this.
Ethan Jiang glanced at the lunch box in the other person's hand, which had not been opened yet and was handed to him, smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I was just handing out lunch boxes. After I went around, I noticed that Brother Jiang was sitting far away. He probably didn't hear the noise over there, so I brought a box over - it was only a few steps away anyway." The young man said with a smile, his tone as lively as the feeling he gave people.
At this point, he praised again: "Brother Jiang, you performed really well just now!"
Ethan Jiang tore open the plastic bag on the lunch box and said "hmm" perfunctorily. The system's voice was still ringing in his head, and there was a Q version of himself running around in front of him... He heard the other party say:
"I think the best one is the one before you turn your face away, Jiang! It's the smile before the last turn..."
Ethan Jiang stopped tearing the plastic bag, and for the first time, he looked seriously at the young man next to him: "What did you say?"
The young man was a little embarrassed: "I just said it casually, sorry Jiang."
"No, I'm somewhat interested. Tell me more about it." Ethan Jiang said.
With Ethan Jiang's words, the young man threw aside his reservations and gestured with great enthusiasm: "In the scene just now, when you, Jiang, faced the two leading actors and invited them to leave together, your expression was like this."
As he spoke, he quickly made an expression towards Ethan Jiang that was gentle, yet with a twisted meaning flashing through it.
"But your last expression was this."
As he spoke he gave another meaningful smile.
After finishing these two expressions, he said, "I feel like the front and back are a bit... how should I put it, it can't be any higher, but I feel like the last expression could be a little more special?"
Ethan Jiang: ...
Ethan Jiang suddenly asked: "You are not from the crew, what is your name?"
"Ah?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then answered easily, "My name is Tyler Lu."
The little man in front of Ethan Jiang disappeared at some point, and the young man named Tyler Lu was still standing in front of Ethan Jiang with a little confusion.
Ethan Jiang subconsciously wanted to stand up, but before that, he saw clearly what was on Tyler Lu's body, and the strength he had just gathered dissipated again, as if one of his legs had twitched in a spasm.
Max's voice suddenly sounded: [His acting talent is S-level. He will be your strong rival in the future.]
Ethan Jiang, who had just sat down, almost stumbled for no reason. He finally came to his senses and thought in his mind: [Max? ]
Max said "hmm" and added: [The system does not recommend that the host regard the other party as a competitor in the early stage. Choosing the wrong comparison object is not enough to promote the host's healthy progress.]
Ethan Jiang simply couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Max had an obvious misunderstanding, because after a pause it added to the consolation: [Don’t compare yourself to those who are blessed by God, you can’t compare.]
[I know,] Ethan Jiang felt a little helpless, he thought, [I know this person, this person...]
"Brother Jiang?" Perhaps Ethan Jiang had been silent for too long, Tyler Lu happened to speak at this time.
Being called in a hurry, Ethan Jiang turned all his attention to Tyler Lu's face.
The faces so close to me are both familiar and unfamiliar.
Suddenly, Ethan Jiang wanted to laugh, but the laughter turned into a smile on his face. He just smiled and invited, "Sit down, let's talk. Your name is... Tyler Lu, right?"
This has to be the most magical day.
He went back to twenty years ago on this day.
During this day, he acquired a system that allowed him to empathize with the character he played.
On this day, he also saw Tyler Lu, the film and television emperor who is still unknown now but will create a legend in the next seven years and be crowned with countless titles and the highest praise.
After inviting everyone to sit down, Ethan Jiang looked at the person next to him closely and calmly, and sure enough, he matched the features on the other person's face with the impression in his mind one by one.
He started his career as an actor at the age of nineteen.
He became famous at the age of 20 with a large-scale historical costume drama.
He entered the film industry at the age of 21, and his movie was released the following year, setting a new box office record in the history of this genre.
At the age of 23, he became famous all over the country, his net worth reached the top level in China, and he was appreciated by well-known foreign directors.
Tyler Lu is an absolute genius. His talent is so high that all the rules from producers to directors to the agency give him the green light.
He gets into fights, is suspected of gambling, abusing drugs, has many scandals, and acts like a big shot. Any scandal that can discredit a star seems to have no effect on him. If people who hate him make up half of the world, then people who like him make up the other half. The former will buy his peripherals and burn them to vent their anger, while the latter will buy his peripherals and collect them carefully. Therefore, he is still one of the most popular artists, or the only one.
But the ultimate splendor may also represent the ultimate brevity.
When he was 27 years old and his acting career reached its peak, he hanged himself at home. Jack's death was exactly the same as the last movie he made before his death, in which he was determined to break free from the ropes on his body, but after his success, he was tied to death by new invisible ropes one after another.
It was like his final and most perfect interpretation of his life.
The movie was released right after the suicide incident was exposed. I don’t know if it was for the puppet in the play or for the real Tyler Lu, but it is said that after every screening, there are always audiences crying.
Ethan Jiang had also seen this movie before. He first watched it on its premiere day in the cinema, and later collected the movie disc, placing it in a special place in his home video cabinet.
It made him feel very emotional.
And since half of the people in the world like Tyler Lu, it is not something special that Ethan Jiang likes Tyler Lu - he is a casual fan of Tyler Lu.
And he never thought that the legendary Emperor Tyler Lu, who was said to have a bad temper and a fickle personality, would be...
...What does a normal, cheerful 19-year-old look like?
