The hospital…
"Ah! It hurts!"
Zhang Zhan lay on the bed, half-dead from the pain.
His piercing screams echoed, tearing through the air.
After the doctor finished treating him, he finally felt a little better.
"Damn it, I'm so pissed!"
"I almost got crippled by that brat, damn it!"
"Buy me some press releases, smear him!"
"I absolutely cannot swallow this and must deal with him!"
"Damn it, he stole my role and beat me up. Does he think I'm easily bullied? This is outrageous, I have to finish him!"
"You, a mere extra, dare to fight me? You're still too green!"
"Let me show you what capital is, let me show you what fan circle influence is!"
That afternoon, Zhang Zhan began buying press releases to smear Su Han.
As expected.
Later in the evening, an article smearing Su Han trended again.
The headline of this trending topic was: Zhang Zhan Beaten into Hospital by an Extra!
The content of the article was roughly: An extra named Su Han, currently playing the male lead's second role in "The Sword Identity" as Feng Yuxiu. This Su Han not only stole our Zhang Zhan's role, but also beat our brother into the hospital during filming today, which is simply too brutal!
Below this trending topic was another: Zhang Zhan is Dedicated!
Article content: Zhang Zhan was filming on the set of "The Sword Identity" today. To achieve realism, he willingly took a beating from an extra named Su Han, sustaining numerous injuries and nearly becoming disabled! Zhang Zhan's journey for filming is not easy. Although his second male lead role was snatched away, he has no complaints. Even when playing a small role, brother is extremely dedicated. We beg the director of a certain movie to act like a human!
These two trending topics and articles both sided with Zhang Zhan and smeared Su Han.
The comment section was filled with many harsh and unpleasant remarks.
"What the heck? Who is this extra to be so audacious?"
"Exactly, stealing Zhang Zhan's role and then beating him into the hospital. Even if Zhang Zhan is an idol with no acting skills, he shouldn't be bullied like this."
"This extra must have paid to get into the crew!"
"Who is this Su Han? I've never heard of him."
"An extra? In my opinion, this is definitely a marketing tactic by the director. Maybe the other party isn't an extra at all! Maybe they're the director's relative!"
Looking at such comments and scenes, Zhang Zhan, lying on the hospital bed, was extremely satisfied.
"Hmph, Su Han, Su Han, fighting me? You're still too young!"
The next day, Su Han arrived at the set early.
Today was his third fight scene, and it was against Fan Shaohuang.
Therefore, he paid extra attention to it.
Last night, his acting score was only S-class, just barely passing, so he needed to be even more serious today.
Perhaps because everyone had seen him act yesterday and thought he was very skilled, several people greeted him as soon as he arrived at the set.
"Brother Han, here so early today?"
"Brother Han, how's your injury? I saw you bleeding a lot yesterday."
"Brother Su Han, your acting is really good."
"Brother Han, I have breakfast here, do you want some?"
No one had paid attention to him yesterday, but today they were all calling him Brother Han. Su Han felt pleased.
So this is how successful people are treated. This feeling is great.
Although he was still a struggling actor, Su Han could already envision his future fame, where he would be adored and served by thousands. That would truly be a life of bliss!
Later, Fan Shaohuang also arrived at the set.
As soon as he arrived, the first person he wanted to meet was Su Han.
He remembered meeting him at the opening ceremony, but he didn't have a strong impression.
"Teacher Shaohuang!"
"Teacher Shaohuang, good morning!"
As Fan Shaohuang arrived at the set, the crew members greeted him enthusiastically.
His status was undeniable, and no one dared to be disrespectful.
However, Fan Shaohuang was only focused on one thing: finding someone.
And that person was none other than Su Han, who he was filming a scene with today.
"Oh? Say, do you know who I'm acting with today? Where is he?"
"Oh, you're looking for Brother Han."
"Brother Han is over there!"
A staff member pointed towards the front, where Su Han was sitting in a corner of the set, engrossed in his breakfast.
"Mmm, this soy milk is delicious!"
"The fried dough sticks are good too!"
Su Han casually sipped his soy milk and ate his fried dough sticks, his legs crossed. He couldn't suppress his excitement and anticipation at the thought of becoming a big shot soon, supported and served by countless people.
However.
At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring intently at him from a distance.
These eyes were sharp, making him feel uneasy.
They say women's intuition is very accurate, and sometimes Su Han suspected he must have been a woman in his past life because his intuition was so sharp.
At this very moment, without looking up, he could feel a pair of eyes fixed on him from directly in front.
He looked up!
His heart skipped a beat. Those eyes were incredibly sharp.
If he wasn't mistaken, the person staring at him was Fan Shaohuang himself, with whom he was supposed to have a fight scene today.
Indeed, he was a renowned martial arts star. The aura he exuded was truly different from ordinary actors.
With such presence and sharp eyesight, even though they were tens of meters apart, Su Han deeply felt that he was already closing in.
How terrifying!
Fan Shaohuang stood frozen for a long time without moving.
He sized up Su Han, muttering to himself: He does look a bit familiar. I saw him at the opening ceremony, and I thought he was staff then. This idiot is the male lead's second role? And he's filming a fight scene with me? With his scrawny arms and legs, can he handle it?
Fan Shaohuang, being his senior, felt that even though he was playing the second male lead and had a better script, he was still new to the industry, and in the entertainment circle, seniority mattered.
As a junior, he should at least go over and say hello, make small talk.
Before Fan Shaohuang could react, Su Han had already approached him.
"Senior Fan Shaohuang, hello. I've heard a lot about you. It's an honor to have the opportunity to act with you today," Su Han said with a smile, very politely.
"You're Su Han, the one I'm acting with, right?"
"Yes."
"How is it? Have you settled in well with everyone since arriving at the set?"
"Yes, very well."
"I heard you're a new actor, or...?"
Fan Shaohuang was also polite, casually trying to understand Su Han.
"Yes, I've been in Hengdian for many years, working as an extra for a few years. I was fortunate to be selected by Director Chen. I'm quite grateful to Director Chen."
"Is that so? Act well! I'm looking forward to acting with you."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Su Han, Fan Shaohuang left.
He turned to find Director Chen for a chat.
"Old Fan, long time no see!"
"Ah! Director Chen."
"How was it? Have you met Su Han yet?"
"Yes, I feel the kid is quite polite. I heard he was an extra before?"
"Yes, he came from being an extra."
"I also heard from them that that brat beat two actors into the hospital?"
"Is that true or false?"
"It's true. Old Shi is in the hospital now."
"Looking at his thin arms and legs, is he really that capable?"
"Whether he's that capable, you'll know when you act with him later."
"And let me tell you, his performance is also quite good, otherwise I wouldn't have taken such a risk to cast an extra as the second male lead."
Fan Shaohuang said with a slight tease, "Even I'm not qualified to play the second male lead! I have to play a minor role for him."
Director Chen smiled and patted Fan Shaohuang, "Old Fan, you know yourself better than anyone. You've always played righteous roles, but this second male lead requires a villain, someone with a strong sense of evil."
"But he doesn't seem that evil."
Fan Shaohuang said. Director Chen quickly shook his head and denied, "No!"
"He may not seem like much in his daily life, but once he starts acting and gets into character, he completely transforms."
"Is he really as magical as you say?"
Director Chen nodded repeatedly, "Really!"
It was the first time Fan Shaohuang had heard Director Chen praise someone so highly, and he was quite curious.
"You'll know when we start filming later."
