Chapter 43: Luck Card Takes Effect; I Became the Movie Lead?

~8 min read 1,462 words

Yang Mi subconsciously followed Zhou Jin's suggestion and moved the camera down a bit, but she looked down and saw her own "big thunder" and then reacted.

Thinking of Zhou Jin's figure, Yang Mi rubbed her thighs lightly.

She hadn't seen Zhou Jin for a long time either; she missed him a bit, and also missed his "bull-like" energy.

Zhou Jin suddenly remembered his entry just now.

It's perfectly suited for a comedic, abstract film, and Deng Chao's *Breakup Master* fits just right.

"Sister Mi, didn't Deng Chao invite you to participate in *Breakup Master*?"

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought about it, but in the end, I refused. I'm mature and steady; I feel my style isn't quite suited for comedy."

Zhou Jin smiled and teased, "Sister Mi, actually, you're quite funny."

Yang Mi was so riled up by Zhou Jin that she trembled, gritting her teeth as she said, "You... do you dare to come to my room right now?"

"Then, has Sister Mi washed up clean?"

"Then has Sister Mi washed up well?"

"Hmph." Yang Mi didn't speak; they were thousands of miles apart, obviously a joke.

Yang Mi naturally wouldn't hide anything in front of Zhou Jin, saying her real concerns:

"Although Deng Chao himself has good acting skills, he is not familiar with directing after all, cross-industry directing, and it's a comedy; I feel this movie has a high probability of flopping, and even if it doesn't flop, the reputation won't be very good."

Zhou Jin nodded lightly.

This is indeed true; *Breakup Master* eventually had a box office of over 700 million, but it was blasted too miserably that year.

And Deng Chao himself won the Golden Broom Award for this.

It's a typical "popular but not well-received" case, but as the quality of subsequent movies got lower and lower, the reputation of *Breakup Master* slowly rose.

After Zhou Jin hung up the phone.

Not long after, another phone rang.

"Hello, is this Zhou Jin? I am Deng Chao."

Zhou Jin felt a shock in his heart upon hearing this somewhat familiar voice.

Deng Chao?

Could it be that the Luck Card took effect?

"I am Zhou Jin, what is the matter?"

"In my movie *Breakup Master*, there is a role with a very good appearance; do you have time to appear in it?"

Zhou Jin realized; it turned out to be the role for the writer Han Han, used to break up with Xiao Zhuang played by Nazha.

Didn't expect that Nazha's boyfriend's identity had changed, becoming an actor.

"Of course." Zhou Jin agreed readily.

Deng Chao said politely: "Our crew is in Hengdian; if you have time tomorrow, you can come to the crew."

"Okay."

Zhou Jin was a bit disappointed after hanging up the phone, "Just acting as a movie supporting role with a few scenes."

"The Luck Card was a bit weak this time."

But Zhou Jin accepted it reluctantly.

Having a drama to act in is better than having no drama to act in, and *Breakup Master* can also try to exert his abstract side as much as possible.

Next day.

Zhou Jin followed the address and came to Deng Chao's crew.

It hadn't officially started filming yet, and casting hadn't been done; Deng Chao, who was both director and lead, and Yu Baimei were discussing the script.

"Zhou Jin, you're here."

Deng Chao's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Jin come, and he said heartily: "I've heard many directors say your appearance is very outstanding, and your acting is also very good; now looking at you in person, you're even more handsome than they imagined."

"Super Brother, you praise me too much," Zhou Jin said humbly.

Other people in the crew were a bit shocked by his handsomeness after seeing Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin nodded friendly to the others.

Deng Chao has a very good popularity in the entertainment industry; this has to do with his big star status, and of course, it also has a lot to do with his personality.

"This is the script; see if you have any thoughts," Deng Chao patted Zhou Jin on the shoulder: "Our crew doesn't have so many taboos and rules; if you have any ideas, just say them."

"It's best if they are abstract ideas." After saying this, Deng Chao squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Jin with a smile.

Otherwise, he couldn't have been so enthusiastic.

Besides, after *Swords of Legends* airs, he can also use some of Zhou Jin's heat for this movie.

Of course, what he most wanted to borrow was Yang Mi's heat, after all, she was the lead of *Swords of Legends*, but Yang Mi didn't look favorably on the movie box office and rejected him.

After giving the script to Zhou Jin, Deng Chao continued to discuss the script with the screenwriters.

Zhou Jin opened the script; he had watched the movie *Breakup Master* in his previous life, and coupled with the new entry, his brain was now full of abstract suggestions.

Zhou Jin frowned lightly, "This script should be an unfinished version; there's quite a gap from the previous life."

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Jin took the script and found Deng Chao.

"Super Brother, I have some different thoughts about this ending."

The original ending was just a simple fake death, and then tricking Ye Xiaochun into saying her true feelings.

There was no Breakup Master, nor was there a scene of Lao Liu continuing to appear.

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment; he was just being polite saying to make suggestions, didn't expect you to really make them.

However, Deng Chao wasn't a stingy person either, and he said with a smile: "What suggestion?"

"I feel the role of Lao Liu is very brilliant; it can also appear in the ending, and corresponding to the Breakup Master, I feel it's better to partner with Lao Liu and form a Reunion Master."

Deng Chao originally had ideas faintly in his mind.

Now hearing Zhou Jin's words, he suddenly understood, "Good, good idea!"

Zhou Jin continued with a smile: "Super Brother, I have other thoughts; it's too troublesome to say, let me perform it."

"And I was thinking, after Ye Xiaochun reveals that she is actually acting, let Lao Liu continue to use a fake knife to stab himself."

Zhou Jin signaled Lao Liu to use a fake knife to test it.

Lao Liu.

Lao Liu stabbed once, Zhou Jin pretended to be stabbed, and his stomach shrank back.

Then Lao Liu stabbed again, Zhou Jin pretended to be stabbed again, and his stomach shrank back.

After continuing a few times.

Zhou Jin told Lao Liu to continue stabbing.

Then Zhou Jin didn't go backward this time, but held his head with both hands, started twisting his waist, and had a very rhythmic left-right shake, just dodging Lao Liu's stabbing action.

This action was a played-out action in Zhou Jin's era.

But for Deng Chao now, he had never seen it.

Seeing Zhou Jin's magical and abstract action, and that bone-deep funny energy, everyone couldn't help it.

"Hahaha..."

Everyone on the scene, including Deng Chao, burst into laughter, even laughing until their stomachs hurt, tears almost laughing out.

"Just like this, the effect is too good!"

Deng Chao hugged Zhou Jin's neck excitedly, as if he had seen a soulmate, and became much closer: "Zhou Jin, didn't expect you to be the same as me, handsome, but both have a funny and abstract heart."

Deng Chao laughed loudly.

The atmosphere of the entire crew was a bit happy.

Since Deng Chao knew Zhou Jin was a fellow traveler, he started frequently taking the script and asking about Zhou Jin's thoughts.

And Zhou Jin's abstract ideas were also endless.

Even when they didn't understand, Zhou Jin demonstrated it himself, how to be more abstract and funny.

Seeing Zhou Jin's demonstration, everyone in the crew burst into laughter.

Gradually, Deng Chao couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he found that Zhou Jin's abstract talent was much better than his.

And the effect of his abstract performance, and those abstract ghost ideas, were truly too good.

The key is that Deng Chao actually had a very similar idea to Yang Mi.

Deng Chao had a strong desire for abstraction; he wanted to do abstraction.

But he wasn't a fool either; he also probably guessed that after the movie was released, not to mention whether the box office was good or not, it would probably be blasted as a big bad movie.

And for the box office, Deng Chao was confident in his mouth, but he wasn't that confident in his heart.

The more he thought this way, the stronger Deng Chao's thought became.
