Entertainment King:I Can Extract Skills from the Movies

Ju Jueliang briefly explained the situation to Du Sheng, then asked,

"80,000 yuan to direct a few action scenes, travel expenses covered. Are you in?"

"I'm in," Du Sheng replied after a short discussion with Zhang Jun.

The destination was less than a few hundred kilometers from the current set, about an hour's trip.

Moreover, the action sequences in the Snowflower Goddess set had already been rehearsed by the main actors, so his presence wasn't immediately necessary.

Earning tens of thousands of yuan effortlessly? There was no reason to refuse.

Not to mention, this was an opportunity to build connections.

In fact, when Ju Jueliang mentioned that the project involved Johnnie To, Du Sheng would've considered it even if it were a favor without pay.

Why? Because several of Johnnie To's classic films had yet to be made.

Those films were a goldmine of references and iconic moments, with jokes and themes that remained popular for decades.

If Du Sheng could be involved in one of those productions, it would be like having a prestige and fame ATM.

When the others in the crew learned about this opportunity, they were envious—especially Ren Ye and Liu Tao.

Liu Tao, in particular, was jealous but also understood it wasn't something she could intervene in. However, Du Sheng's departure left her with a tighter shooting schedule.

"You're just leaving like that? You're leaving me to suffer!"

Hearing her complaints, Du Sheng smiled.

"I'll bring back some local specialties as compensation."

Liu Tao's eyes brightened as if recalling something delicious. She hummed playfully,

"I want Taigu Pastries! Ten boxes!"

She had once tasted the sweet, crispy, yet non-cloying pastries and had been craving them ever since.

Du Sheng sighed.

"You're sure those can be transported into the desert? Just one box. Relive the memory."

"Stingy!"

Liu Tao pouted but understood the practical limitations. Rolling her eyes mischievously, she teased,

"Besides Andy Lau, isn't Hong Kong's most beautiful actress also starring in that movie? Don't get so dazzled that you forget your way back!"

Du Sheng couldn't help but retort,

"Do you think I'm some kind of succubus? Everywhere I go, women throw themselves at me?"

"Hmph! Who knows? First, you're caught in rumors with Hua Yi's leading lady, and then you've got a stunning cousin who can't forget you."

With a hint of disbelief, she added,

"You're clearly a honeybee-magnet physique!"

Though she sounded indifferent, Liu Tao was genuinely concerned.

Du Sheng was visibly rising in prominence, becoming more sought-after. Their time together had made her realize how exceptional he was—both in talent and character.

"Time's short; I'm off."

After a brief chat with producer Li Leda, Du Sheng left the set.

Back at the hotel, he packed his belongings and prepared for his trip to Jin Province's Tongcheng.

Suddenly, a crisp notification sounded in his ear:

[Filming of Snowflower Goddess completed. Would you like to proceed with reward settlement?]

[Note: The closer the host's performance aligns with the character, the higher the screentime and completion percentage, the better the skills, items, or abilities awarded.]

So soon!

Du Sheng felt a surge of anticipation.

With only a few closing scenes left to film, completing them wouldn't affect the overall evaluation. There was no need to wait.

Taking a deep breath, he silently commanded:

[Settle rewards!]

[Calculating... Host character alignment: 78%. Screentime: 19%. Completion: 80%... Updating prize pool...]

"What were the stats from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

Comparing, Du Sheng noticed that both alignment and completion had improved by about 8%.

Considering that he hadn't spent additional points to upgrade his acting, reaching these results was satisfactory.

Frankly, in the domestic entertainment industry, only about 40% of actors could achieve a 60% passing rate.

And actors with nearly 80% alignment and completion? Less than 20%.

For a second male lead, achieving this level of screentime and performance was already commendable.

Satisfied, Du Sheng turned his attention to the newly refreshed rewards interface.

[Settlement complete. Performance rating: Good+. Current evaluation: F+. Annual draws available: 1/10. Proceed with drawing?]

"No multiplier this time?"

He was mildly surprised but not entirely shocked.

The triple multiplier from before had clearly been a rare occurrence, unlikely to repeat.

Before him appeared a roulette wheel with nineteen cards in purple, blue, green, and white hues.

The Good+ rating even included purple-tier rewards!

Du Sheng felt a tinge of excitement.

The character Sai Hua Tuo in the show possessed numerous intriguing abilities—medical skills, mechanisms, astrology, and more.

The most likely purple-tier reward? Probably detoxification skills.

These were frequently showcased in the drama, saving the male lead, female lead, and even other relatives.

Other possibilities included the elegant Golden Needle Severing Veins technique for remote diagnosis or the Heavenly Secrets Manual.

However, supernatural items like Soul-Returning Pills likely wouldn't appear due to their fantastical nature.

Holding onto hope, Du Sheng whispered:

[Draw!]

As his thoughts activated the wheel, the cards began spinning counterclockwise.

Whoosh!

Seven cards burst forth in radiant flashes, transforming into dazzling streaks of light:

[Congratulations! You have obtained the secret skill Qimen Dunjia (Blue).]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the antidote Heavenly Clear Jade Dew Pill.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a rosewood wheelchair.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the technique Heavenly Secrets Spiritual Pivot Sutra (Blue).]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a box of golden acupuncture needles.]

*[Congratulations! You have obtained the skill Heart-to-Heart (Blue).]

[Congratulations! You have obtained three gold ingots.]

"Wow, three blue-tier items!"

Du Sheng's eyes gleamed.

While he hadn't drawn a purple reward, the haul was still impressive.

Breakdown of Rewards:

Qimen Dunjia (Level 1/Blue): A comprehensive mystical art covering astronomy, strategy, philosophy, and more. Used historically in warfare by legends like Huangdi, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen. While modern applications might be limited, it's great for showm

anship.

Du Sheng couldn't help but grin. Though he might not need to use it in daily life, it would undoubtedly boost his prestige and image.
