Chapter 2

This *Actors Take Their Places* program also appeared due to the rapid advancement of technology!

I don't know what kind of powerful figures are behind the program, to be able to get a supercomputer for a variety show!

Through the unique and powerful computing power of the supercomputer, AI-generated models are used to construct a virtual film world.

And they, the participating actors, need to enter these film clips to play a role.

With free improvisation, the more they fit the character's positioning and the more brilliant the performance, the higher the score.

It's just that while Su Chen was recalling, he also discovered the most critical point...

The entertainment industry in this world is clearly far less developed than in his previous life!

Not only is the number of film and television works only 40% to 50% of his previous life, but the quality is also far inferior to the classics of his previous life!

Almost none of those countless classic works from his previous life have appeared!

Sorting up to this point.

Su Chen's eyes lit up slightly!

As a hardcore film fan in his previous life, he knew every movie and TV show with any reputation like the back of his hand.

And he didn't know if it was because of the transmigration.

Su Chen even felt that he had the ability to never forget what he saw!

With a slight recollection, he could remember the plot direction of all the works from his previous life!

Every line, every shot! Even the actors' expressions were exactly the same! Su Chen even felt he could accurately recreate them!

Before Su Chen could think carefully.

On the live broadcast TV.

The program's warm-up segment and commercials had already ended.

Xiao Sa's passionate voice rang out again!

"Alright, no more talk!"

"Let's go straight into the intense schedule!"

"First up will be the first round of the elimination tournament for the 20 male actors!"

"Our judges will give a designated keyword after discussion."

"Then the program's supercomputer AI will build the film clip!"

"Now!"

"Let us invite the three judges to announce the performance keyword for the first round of the elimination tournament!"

Following Xiao Sa's words, the live camera cut to the judge's bench.

Under the gaze of all the audience.

Zhang Laomou looked at the other two and nodded slightly.

He picked up the microphone and stood up.

A somewhat deep voice rang out.

"The performance keyword for the first round of the elimination tournament..."

"Warlord!"

As Zhang Laomou's voice fell.

There was an immediate buzz of whispers at the scene!

The anticipation in the hearts of countless audience members was instantly raised.

Warlord?!

Didn't expect it to be interesting from the very first round!

Compared to those overused roles like students, rich second generations, and domineering CEOs, etc.

Warlords, who hold high power, carve out territories, and many of whom kill without blinking, are undoubtedly more explosive!

How are these contestants, who grew up in times of peace, supposed to imagine that era of warlord fragmentation and turmoil in the Nine Provinces?

Let alone portray a warlord!

Whether it's a domineering CEO or other roles, at least there are traces to follow in real life.

But a role like a warlord, which only exists in imagination and historical documents.

Will undoubtedly test the actors' skills even more!

And as expected.

After hearing the keyword.

There was an immediate wail among the contestants in the lounge.

Many of these contestants who came to participate in this program are so-called "fresh meat" actors who were signed up by their companies without having filmed a few dramas.

To put it nicely, they are called actors...

In reality, they are just selling their looks...

Their goal isn't the championship or learning and improving with famous directors; they just want to stay for a few more rounds to get familiar faces and traffic.

Letting them play a CEO with a blank face is fine...

But a role like a warlord... is that something they can grasp?

To make a fool of themselves in front of hundreds of millions of viewers in the first round... that would be too ugly...

Even Su Chen, who had transmigrated, frowned.

There were quite a few Republic of China dramas in his previous life.

But the plots were all terrible.

There were very few that portrayed warlords well; most were just CEO dramas in disguise.

Data during the new book period is extremely important!!! I beg all readers for your support!!!

Even comments are fine!!! The author reads every single comment!!! I accept any suggestions and opinions!!!

"The program's computer has finished constructing the film world."

"Will all contestants please enter the venue in an orderly fashion!"

"Enter the VR equipment corresponding to your ID badge one by one!"

The staff member's voice interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.

And under the guidance of the staff.

The twenty contestants in the lounge entered the holographic VR rooms next to the stage.

Twenty pods used to link the contestants' consciousness to the film world were distributed in an orderly manner.

"Thank you."

Su Chen thanked the young female staff member who was assisting him into the pod gently.

At close range, his quite lethal good looks immediately made the other person blush.

"N-no problem..."

Although she worked at the TV station and was used to seeing all kinds of stars, it was truly rare to see someone like Su Chen who still looked so good without makeup... and was so polite!

Moreover, Su Chen's profile was also a maverick existence among the contestants.

He could have relied on his face to make a living, sell CP, and operate for traffic, but Su Chen had always insisted on floating and sinking in the acting industry.

After the entertainment company he was signed to declared bankruptcy not long ago, Su Chen, this little transparent with no name, naturally became a free agent.

Thinking of this.

The staff member looked at the closing pod lid and couldn't help but secretly say "come on" for Su Chen in her heart.

At the same time.

On the stage.

"Currently, the film world randomly constructed by the program's supercomputer has been completed!"

"All contestants' consciousness has been linked!"

"[Actors Take Their Places] first round of the elimination tournament, begin!"
