The next day, when Jiang Ya took the agreement to find weird man, the man was still watching the black and white TV in the dim room. He glanced at the fingerprint on the last page of the agreement, then smilingly took out the Script implanting machine and handed over a business card belonging to Director Tamu.
"You make this call, and then tell Director that I recommended you."
Jiang Ya took the machine and the business card, feeling ecstatic in his heart. He didn't talk much with weird man anymore, and was ready to leave directly. But at the moment of leaving the door, weird man suddenly stopped him: "By the way, this machine has gear instructions. The higher the gear, the stronger the input. Don't use it too often. Remember, all tools for you humans cannot be overly relied upon."
"I got it, I got it," Jiang Ya said without looking back, and walked out the door.
Meanwhile, the weird man behind her revealed a meaningful smile.
Jiang Ya called a car and immediately contacted Director Tamu when he got home. During their conversation, he learned that the weird man had not deceived him; the two indeed had some relationship. In earlier years, the weird man had recommended several actors to Director Tamu who not only had impeccable appearances and acting skills but also produced several highly acclaimed works. Therefore, Director Tamu held a favorable view of the actors recommended by the weird man.
As Jiang Ya changed clothes, he wondered if those actors had also used this device. Director Tamu had arranged to meet him at the theater this afternoon.
He carefully packed the Script implanting machine and dressed up nicely before heading to the film and television city. However, when he arrived, Director Tamu didn't have much to say to the young man. He was wearing a light yellow vest and an old black duckbill cap. After politely greeting Jiang Ya, he handed him a script and asked him to try out a scene.
Jiang Ya took a quick glance at the script and said he needed to use the restroom. Once inside, he put on a miniature earphone and activated the Script implanting machine.
The character in the script is a newly minted father who is also a convict. The emotions of remorse and powerlessness instantly spread through Jiang Ya's heart. He took a deep breath and immediately went out to perform the repentant scene.
Director Tamu was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly moist, obviously infected by Jiang Ya's performance.
After a long pause, Director Tamu looked at the bowed Jiang Ya and clapped his hands, saying, "It's this kind of feeling, the inner struggle within oneself is this kind of feeling. Do you know, for this play, I deliberately went to see several real courtroom scenes, and you are the only one who can perform with true emotions."
Jiang Ya The feeling of guilt in his heart is slowly dissipating. After he finished the performance, he felt a little self-satisfied and nodded busily, saying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Director."
Director Tamu at this time, however, frowned and looked very worried. Jiang Ya asked, "Director, what's wrong? Was there something wrong with the performance just now?"
"That's not it. I don't know if you've heard, but the actors brought in by weird man are indeed talented, but strangely, they all encountered problems and seem to have lost control of their minds. It feels a bit eerie..."
Jiang Ya was stunned for a moment, thinking, 'Could this be the price of selling their souls? Luckily, it's not my own signature.'
Jiang Ya smiled and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. I just had a check-up a few days ago, and all my indicators were good."
Director Tamu didn't dwell on it and went straight into discussing the content of his next film "The Struggler," the protagonist he wanted to create, and the entire shooting schedule.
The two of them talked for a full two hours, and Jiang Ya successfully secured the lead role in this play. This is his first time appearing in a theatrical production. For someone who usually plays small roles and waits for work at the film and television city every day, it's probably a dream that can never be reached in a lifetime. But Jiang Ya got this opportunity.
Tamu spent a year and a half filming this movie outside the province, and unexpectedly, the work became a huge success. Jiang Ya portrayed the character very well with the help of the Script implanting machine. People online started paying attention to this newcomer because of Jiang Ya's acting skills. For a while, Jiang Ya gained some fame in the industry, and brand endorsements and various commercial performance opportunities came one after another. Other Directors also began to approach Jiang Ya, and for a while, it seemed like there was endless glory...
After the late-night performance, Jiang Ya took off his mini earphones, sat in a chair, and began to breathe heavily. His female assistant brought him a cup of hot tea, which he took a sip of before continuously rubbing his face. After using the Script implanting machine for nearly two years, Jiang Ya found that it was taking him longer and longer to get out of character. Many times, he realized that his daily habits were becoming exactly like those of the protagonist in the play.
It seems like some people have gone a little crazy. Jiang Ya took a deep breath, looked around, and saw the photographer packing up the lighting equipment. On the other side, at a table piled with late-night snacks, he saw Uncle Liang dozing off. It had been two years, and the old man seemed to have gained quite a bit of weight.
"Long time no see, Uncle Liang," Jiang Ya patted Uncle Liang's head and woke him up.
Uncle Liang shook all over, woke up in a start, and hurriedly apologized to Jiang Ya: "Oh, I accidentally fell asleep. Is there something you need from me?"
"Is the late-night snack you provided? It's a bit unappetizing. Tsk tsk, you're not taking your work seriously during this period. Don't come to this set in the future."
Uncle Liang suddenly exploded: " Jiang Ya, are you settling personal scores in public? Do you really think you have that much power?"
Jiang Ya laughed and replied, "Old man, have you gone senile? Have you forgotten how you treated me in the past? Anyway, wherever I am, you won't be allowed to appear, understand? I'm really not happy with you right now."
Saying this, Jiang Ya turned to his female assistant and instructed, "In our future cooperation and performance regulations, we need to add another rule: do not let this old man appear. Otherwise, refuse to cooperate. Understand?"
The assistant glanced at the fuming Uncle Liang beside her, nodded, and silently followed Jiang Ya out of the set. Uncle Liang had a dark expression on his face and, as he watched Jiang Ya's figure, he fiercely kicked the wall.
Jiang Ya then went to the dressing room and changed into a new outfit, feeling much less tired. He checked his watch, it was just after 1:30, and he felt it was still early, so he drove to a nearby bar.
Inside the bar, the red and green lights swayed, the music was very noisy, and it hurt his ears. Jiang Ya found a seat, called two women to accompany him for drinks and dice games, and in this environment, he could feel extremely relaxed.
In the game of rock-paper-scissors, he embraced one of the women, drinking wildly and laughing recklessly, the scent of perfume mixed with alcohol, his mind gradually becoming muddled.
The woman continued to feed him drinks, while constantly grabbing the tips from the table. Jiang Ya blushing, was in high spirits when suddenly she saw a figure rushing over, who grabbed the bottle and smashed it over Jiang Ya's head. The bottle exploded on impact, fragments flying everywhere, and the two women were frightened, screaming and quickly running away.
