Chapter 27: Enter the world of Shadow

You chose to act opposite Guan Xiaotong, who hadn't yet changed out of her costume.

Director Zhang Yimou admired your courage.

Guan Xiaotong had been working on this project for a month, and her understanding of the script and experience from several auditions far surpassed yours.

He appreciated that you had someone take you to the prop room to change into actual filming props.

Your audition, which started as a casual improvisation, turned into a real scene where you wore a costume and acted opposite someone.

You initially thought this was a good start, but once you put on the costume, you realized what it meant to struggle to breathe and move.

The thirty-plus jin of armor made it difficult for you to adapt.

If you had no weight, your Acting might have surpassed Guan Xiaotong's, but with this negative effect, your performance was greatly impacted.

Your breathing was too heavy when delivering lines, and you appeared particularly clumsy when trying to engage in combat.

Director Zhang Yimou asked if you had any martial arts experience.

What was your answer?

1. Answer truthfully: Not good at fighting; 2. State you can't, but are willing to learn; 3. Force yourself to continue, try to perform better; 4. Become angry and push down Guan Xiaotong...

1 and 3 are not good; choosing them would likely lead to an immediate game over.

Don't even mention 4; is that a proper 'push down'?

What kind of person does the system take me for?

Despicable...

"222"

You sheepishly admitted you couldn't, but immediately expressed your willingness to learn.

Director Zhang Yimou initially wanted to give you a chance to learn, but considering you would have to prepare for the college entrance examination after the Art Examination, your time would definitely be tight.

He didn't want to delay you from entering an Art Academy, so he tactfully told you he would look for you again if there was another opportunity.

It's a pity...

Your first audition failed!

Because you forced yourself to perform after being crushed by heavy objects, your body sustained hidden injuries, which flared up during the Beijing Film Academy's retest a month later, leading to a less than ideal performance.

Although you didn't know the final result, Teacher Liu Jingming comforted you, telling you to keep up the good work...

Tip: You can use a Character Experience Card to enter the story world and grasp the character!

"Hiss!"

Yu Wenliang got a headache just looking at the dozens of jin of armor.

Indeed, making a movie isn't a simple task.

When he was a child, carrying a few jin of schoolbooks was tiring; now he had to wear armor for filming, and it was an action scene.

It was truly difficult...

No wonder Lao Mouzi hadn't found an actor for so long.

A young man of suitable age who was also strong and robust.

Indeed, hard to find!

Yu Wenliang, the master of backing out, muttered to himself, 'Should I give up this opportunity and play it safe?'

After all, if he injured himself filming and it affected his Art Examination retest, it wouldn't be worth it!

"What's this Character Experience Card thingy? Never mind, I'll try it when I get home..."

Yu Wenliang and his group finished their meal at the Sichuan restaurant.

After the wealthy Zhou Ye paid the bill, she should have sent Tian Xiwei and Wang Anyu to their hotel, but Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye were inseparable, seemingly with endless things to talk about.

Zhou Ye actively invited Xiao Tian to stay at her house during the examination period, sharing a room and a bed with her.

Tian Xiwei excitedly agreed.

Yu Wenliang looked at Zhou Ye, and after getting the female landlord's approval, he also invited Wang Anyu, as he couldn't neglect any of his companions.

However, the shy Wang Anyu felt embarrassed to stay for free and chose to stay at a hotel instead, but she picked one near Zhou Ye's house for convenience so they could all move around together.

“Wow, your house is so beautiful! How about we take a bath together?”

Tian Xiwei was very happy to be at her good friend's house, and she actively invited Zhou Ye to bathe together.

Zhou Ye glanced at her friend's full bosom, then thought of her own small 'raisins':

"Maybe not, I'm shy, you go first..."

Yu Wenliang decided to use the system to simulate the character when it was late at night; otherwise, if he made any noise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the two girls.

He only used the bathroom last, after they had finished bathing.

In the shower room, there were two colors of underwear hanging: one pink, one purple.

The pink one was very small, and the purple one was very large.

How different were they, specifically?

If you crumpled the pink one into a ball, it could fit into half of the purple one!

It was a world of difference!

"Damn it! They don't clean up after bathing! Hair all over the floor!"

Yu Wenliang, who had a cleanliness fetish, tidied up the bathroom before slowly taking his shower.

When he came out, Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye, the two girls, were still wearing thin nightgowns, lying on the sofa watching TV.

Neither of them wore shoes, and their four delicate feet were wiggling around so gracefully...

Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye even patted the empty seat, inviting him to watch with them.

Yu Wenliang declined their kind offer.

Although there were beautiful feet to look at, the simulation was more important!

"Simulate Character Card, select the young general from 'Shadow'—Yang Ping, activate!"

The moment Yu Wenliang pressed the simulate button, the laughter and discussions of Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei disappeared from his ears, replaced by the clash of metal.

The room before him also transformed into a training ground...

"Whoosh..."

'Yang Ping' slowly opened his eyes.

Dense, fine lines of rain fell from the sky, feeling cool and pleasant as they hit his face.

Looking around, this was a sloping area on a mountaintop, with a pavilion and three to five soldiers guarding one side.

When he raised his hand to wipe away the mixture of rain and sweat from his jaw, his arm armor and wrist guards rubbed together, producing a metallic sound.

His well-defined fingers traced the faded red silk wrapped around the sword hilt—it seemed to be a safety knot tied by his mother during his first campaign.

Looking up again, a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which looked like it had been used by Guan Erye, came slashing towards his face.

The fine lines before him were cut in half, and the roar of the blade, accompanied by the sound of tearing air, rang out.

Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow!!!

Yu Wenliang's heart pounded.

That was a real, deadly blade.

He could even see the dark red stains on the blade that were difficult to wipe away, and the strong smell of blood assailed him.

His "heart" pounded violently, and for the first time, he felt the crisis of death...

A rough voice called him back to his senses:

"My son, on the battlefield, never lose focus!"

"Yes!"

Yu Wenliang heard "himself" respond, and he automatically wielded the long blade, weighing over ten jin, to meet the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

When the weapons clashed, there was a piercing metallic sound and fleeting sparks!

The next second.

'Yu Wenliang', clad in dozens of jin of heavy armor, soared into the air as if walking on flat ground, employing an ancient sword technique he had never heard of to strike at his opponent.

The two exchanged dozens of blows, ending with his opponent retreating half a step.

"You can make your father retreat two steps?"

"A good change!"

"..."

Yu Wenliang looked at the opponent in front of him.

This person looked so familiar, like Qiao Feng from that 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'?

What was his name again...

He couldn't recall at the moment.

Yu Wenliang usually didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry; he mostly recognized female celebrities, and only recognized male celebrities by face!

But clearly.

He was Yang Ping's father, Yang Cang, the Great General of Yan!

'Yu Wenliang' put down his long blade and followed his father into the pavilion to shelter from the rain.

Yang Cang asked with a smile:

"Ping'er."

"You want to take the Eldest Princess as your concubine."

"Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"
