After becoming Famous, I Became Successful In My Cultivation

Scene 10 - "The second book"

Editor: Sai Hiroto

Su Xinghe's role on the crew of "Full Palace" ended soon, but the work would not end after the show ended, so when Zhang Qing came to pick him up, she immediately helped him arrange the next job.

"The company has a drama now. You should take a look first. We invested in this drama together with Orange Network."

Zhang Qing handed Su Xinghe a simple plot summary.

"This drama is called 'The Universe'* (乾坤). The original work is a famous fairy tale novel."

[*Sai: Qian Kun (乾坤) = ‘Universe’ = 宇宙. In immortal cultivation novels, you often hear about the Qian Kun Bag? With the meaning of the universe bag.]

Su Xinghe's eyes lit up when he heard this. 'The Universe' is familiar to him. Isn't this a common expression in their Taoism?

He was interested. Could it be that he wanted to film the story of Taoist priests?

But after he quickly read the synopsis of the plot, he discovered that the protagonist of the story was not a Taoist priest.

This is an idol drama about ancient costumes and heroes falling in love.

The Taoist cat, who only wanted to practice Taoism, sighed.

Zhang Qing pretended not to see the disappointment on Su Xinghe's face because she intuitively felt that Su Xinghe would not give her any normal answers.

"The investment in this drama is not small, and the female protagonist is even more popular. Originally, the male protagonist was scheduled to have a small amount of traffic, but Mr. Qin was optimistic about this drama, so he used the money to give Tiancheng a male protagonist."

"It's just that the company has other people besides you; there are several male artists, so you have to compete for the male lead of this show."

Tiancheng also signed several artists before he was acquired. Although they have always been tepid, compared to Su Xinghe. Such newcomers are 90% new, and the risk of using them is smaller.

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing said: "Originally, you are not qualified to compete together. After all, the investment in fairy tale dramas is huge, and it is very rare for newcomers to be the protagonists. But Mr. Qin is optimistic about you and has secured an audition spot for you."

There are many. A few years ago, many dramas dared to use newcomers, as long as they had the right roles and acting skills, but things are different these years. Everyone believes in big data, and finding an actor with traffic is the best choice.

So Qin Xuan dared to nominate Su Xinghe, and Zhang Qing was moved by this pure emotion.

Su Xinghe couldn't help but inquire about the intensity of the money and was stunned.

This, this, this is so rich!

Even if you sell him, he won't be worth so much money!

He swallowed and blinked his innocent peach blossom eyes: "If we fail in the performance, wouldn't we lose a lot of money?!"

Whether he plays the male lead or several other colleagues play the male lead, if the acting is smashed, Mr. Qin will die!

Zhang Qing nodded. This is Tiancheng's largest investment project this year. If it loses money, Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin should be fine. After all, Mr. Qin still has a father.

But their company was in dire straits.

"So you have a few days to think about it." Zhang Qing said, "If you don't compete for the male lead, it should be no problem to get you a third male lead."

"But if you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life."

Who would have the chance to play a male lead with such a big IP in his second drama?

There are many wealthy fathers in the entertainment industry, but she has not encountered a leader as pure, generous, and discerning as Mr. Qin in decades.

Zhang Qing originally thought that Su Xinghe would hesitate. After all, just now Su Xinghe looked worried about the company losing money.

Who knew that Su Xinghe's answer was without hesitation at all: "Then I have to go to the audition, and I have to help Mr. Qin make money back!"

"Although I have little talent and poor acting skills, I cannot trust anyone else to play this role!"

[*Sai: Little Xing, you haven't fallen in love or are dating your gong, but you already have the awareness to help your gong not lose his money ~＼(*T▽T*)]

He has grown up, and even his master has never trusted him enough to give him a project worth so much money.

Therefore, he must not let down Qin Xuan, who nominated him.

Taoist Master Su, who doesn't have so much money at all:...

Zhang Qing, who can't keep up with Su Xinghe's brain circuit:...

Zhang Qing consciously ignored Su Xinghe's self-criticism: "Since you have confidence, then I also have confidence, wait... I'll give you the script after it comes out, so you have to take a good rest for now."

"But this novel is about a female protagonist, and the drama is probably about a female protagonist." Zhang Qing was trying to inoculate Su Xinghe.

It is normal for the entertainment industry to have conflicts. In a drama, even if it is a male or female lead, there must be a hierarchy. Who is the first lead and who is the second lead has to be written into the contract.

Although Su Xinghe is backed by Tiancheng, he is not famous at all. He is a newcomer who is extremely transparent, while Ji Yujia from Orange Network is a real little flower.

Even if Su Xinghe can play the leading role, he can only play a second-time leading role.

Su Xinghe didn't quite understand what the rank meant, and he didn't mind being pushed down. Now he just wanted to go back to take exams and burn incense.

That's right, he got his salary today, bought a good offering, and wants to go back and offer it to his master and ancestor.

Seeing that Su Xinghe didn't care, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you don't mind."

It's really rare for an artist to be so good-looking, so talented, and not a monster at all.

But Zhang Qing soon knew that she was wrong because Su Xinghe caused trouble for her a few hours later.

The fire alarm in President Qin's mansion went off.

The reason is that Su Xinghe put incense inside.

Zhang Qing:... Mr. Qin, who is on a business trip, I'm sorry for you!

Su Xinghe was also quite embarrassed, but it was indeed a long time since he offered incense to his ancestor and master.

I didn’t have money to buy incense before, but now that I have money, of course, I have to buy good incense immediately and offer it as an offering.

Zhang Qing looked at the incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits offered on the table, then looked at the cinnabar, talismans, tortoise shells, and copper coins next to them, plus a pile of scriptures and a futon on the ground, and suddenly felt even more dizzy.

She seemed to have seen Su Xinghe's future gangsters writing on the keyboard: "Hahaha, Su Xinghe not only did not graduate from elementary school but also likes to engage in superstitious activities!" 

Zhang Qing, feeling dizzy, could only tactfully tell Su Xinghe not to burn incense, draw talismans, meditate, or tell fortunes where others could see him.

Su Xinghe, who holds the national legal Taoist certificate, feels aggrieved. He has the certificate!

Now it was Zhang Qing's turn to shut up.

Legal spiritual practice is truly remarkable.

But Su Xinghe was a good boy. After knowing that incense could not be burned in the house, he was ready to change the place.

But where to change it?

However, Qin Xuan, who was far away in City B, listened to Zhang Qing's apology and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter; it's just a matter of lighting incense. Let Xinghe open the window, and the alarm shouldn't go off. Aren't there three bedrooms in the house? That's okay. Move another room for him."

It would be too cruel to not allow Taoist priests to burn incense.

He rubbed the peace talisman he was carrying. This peace talisman no longer worked, but the cinnabar had faded in one day, but he was still used to wearing it.

"By the way, I'll be back tomorrow and want to treat Xinghe to a meal. Please help me make arrangements. It'll be tonight."

First, the actor was nominated for the audition, and then he was treated to a meal.

Zhang Qing began to doubt her previous judgment again.

Tomorrow night, will the leader still be pure?

She said, "Okay, let me tell Xinghe."

Ever since she learned about Su Xinghe's skills, she no longer worried about Su Xinghe.

Now she only worries about all impure people.

Su Xinghe completed the first exam before going to the appointment.

He finally passed!

The weapon spirit happily congratulated him: "It's not easy!"

This shows that Su Xinghe's acting skills have indeed improved a lot!

Su Xinghe also rejoiced: "It must be because I offered incense to Grandmaster and Master today."

Otherwise, how could he have passed the exam so smoothly?

It must be the blessing of the ancestor and master!

Weapon Spirit:...

Such sincere thoughts, even as a weapon spirit, find it a bit difficult to describe.

"The next step is to draw the magic weapon!" Su Xinghe's eyes lit up.

Before the weapon spirit could say anything, Su Xinghe started to take off his clothes. He was going to take a shower and change clothes!

Must shower and change clothes!

Facts have proved that bathing and changing clothes are really useful because Su Xinghe picked the failed one with the smallest number among the three elixirs.

"Is this for eye-opening purposes?" Su Xinghe carefully looked at the elixir in his hand.

The weapon spirit said, "Well, after taking this elixir, you can open your eyes."

The so-called opening of eyes means seeing things that ordinary people cannot see. To put it more narrowly, it means being able to see ghosts.

Taoist priests have many ways to see ghosts, but for some reason, none of these methods work for Su Xinghe.

Therefore, he has never seen even ghost hair since he was a child.

So if he wanted to go to hell, he really could only chew on the old man—chew on the elixir of the ancestor.

"Are you not afraid of ghosts?" The weapon spirit asked.

Su Xinghe shook his head and said, "What's so scary about ghosts?"

Master said that ghosts look similar to humans and there's nothing scary about them, so he isn't afraid.

The weapon spirit nodded when he saw this, as long as he was not afraid of ghosts. It took a long time for the ancestor to overcome his fear of ghosts.

But Su Xinghe still has a small sun buff on him. Even if he can see ghosts, there are no ghosts for him to see. The weapon spirit thought very optimistically.

I just don’t know what the side effects will be if I take this eye-opening elixir...

Su Xinghe soon gave the weapon spirit the answer.

Su Xinghe's pupils became black and bright, but the color of his iris was lighter than before, like transparent and light amber, glowing with light as if stars were falling in it.

Anyone who has seen such eyes will never forget them.

Even in a dimly lit room, no one can ignore those clear eyes.

The weapon spirit breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the number was small, and the side effects were also small—it was just a change of color in his eyes, nothing serious.

Su Xinghe was stunned because the world in his eyes had completely changed at this moment.

He didn't see a ghost; instead, he saw a blinding light.

It turns out he is so bright.

"What should I do?" Su Xinghe fell into trouble.

He couldn't see.

He was blinded by himself.

The weapon spirit:...

It was a mistake. It turns out that the last buff was the biggest side effect.

To make up for his stupid mistake, the weapon spirit was so distressed that he took out something from his private treasury—a piece of peach skin.

"This is something that the Grandmaster has blessed. If you soak it in water and take a bath with it, it should stop glowing."

Originally, it couldn't give Su Xinghe any help, but who made it sleep like this? Over the years, have you developed brain problems while sleeping?

First, he prescribed the wrong inheritance, and just now he forgot to stop Su Xinghe from taking medicine.

If Su Xinghe couldn't see anything, how could he continue acting?

Su Xinghe didn't expect the weapon spirit to be so generous. He looked at the peach skin in his hand and wanted to study how the ancestor consecrated it.

However, since this thing was only a piece, and the weapon spirit was very heartbroken, Su Xinghe quickly took a bath with it.

Sure enough, after getting up from the bathtub, he was finally no longer the little sun with its light source.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Although there was no light on his body now, his eyes were bright as if they were glowing.

The finishing touch should be a clean, great dog*.

[*Sai: It is written like this '汪清弘了', if translated, it would be like this 'Wang Qinghong'. So I tried to understand it word by word, and I think the meaning will be like that(?)] 

Su Xinghe also has a sense of aesthetics, so he looked in the mirror for more than half an hour.

If nothing else, it was just because he was a bit vain.

His eyes are so beautiful!

It was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away!
