The night of the wrap party for "The Bad Kids," a Weibo post detailing how Li Meng was frightened to tears by Su Han went viral and topped the trending searches.
Accompanying the Weibo post was a leaked clip showing Li Meng crying after filming that particular scene.
With such captions and videos appearing, countless netizens flocked to the trending searches to inquire.
"Holy crap, what's going on? What movie are they filming?"
"It looks like 'The Bad Kids.' I heard Su Han plays a really terrifying villain in this series. Li Meng has a scene with him, and Su Han's performance on set was so realistic that he actually scared Li Meng to tears after it ended."
"Whoa, scaring someone to tears while acting? That's seriously impressive."
"Li Meng? Wasn't there a rumor about her being really arrogant before? She was supposed to be the female lead in a certain drama, but after angering the director, he completely removed her. Since then, she hasn't been favored."
"It was 'Bai Lu Yuan'! I heard she's all about 'true emotions,' basically meaning she has a bad temper and would directly lash out at the director and staff. Eventually, the director couldn't stand it anymore and hastily replaced the female lead."
"Li Meng was indeed like a pure lotus in her youth, very beautiful."
"What is Su Han playing that could scare this harpy to tears on the spot? I'm really curious, I really want to see his performance!!"
"Me too!"
"The character Su Han plays is called Zhang Dongsheng, and it's said to be very frightening. You'll know when it airs."
...
Netizens discussed heatedly, their anticipation for Su Han's character soaring.
After "The Bad Kids" wrapped, Su Han and Yang Mi flew back to Modu from Yangcheng immediately.
Upon returning home, they finally managed to catch their breath.
After washing up and enjoying a massage from Boss Yang, they both rested comfortably.
Seeing Yang Mi sleeping soundly and peacefully beside him, Su Han felt a sense of peace.
A man's greatest wish is perhaps to have a woman who understands him by his side, accompanying him on his dreams.
Su Han was very satisfied with his current situation.
The career he wanted had been achieved.
He had found his woman.
He had made friends.
He continued to pursue his passion for acting, and even after winning an Oscar for Best Actor, it did not hinder his pursuit of even more diverse roles.
His aspirations to become a director and a capitalist boss also awaited gradual realization.
His next goal was to fully realize and accomplish these ideas, shaping them into what he envisioned.
Specifically, his wish to collaborate with Wong Kar-wai and Lou Ye had not yet been fulfilled.
He very much wished to seize an opportunity to meet these two directors.
It was as he was contemplating these matters that a cold system voice sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully portraying Zhang Dongsheng in 'The Bad Kids'!"
"The acting score for the character Zhang Dongsheng is SSS-level!"
"Reward: a chance to simulate a new role for three months!"
"Please choose from the mall at your leisure."
"Does the host wish to select a role for simulation in the mall now?"
Hmm?
The reward method has changed again?
Previous rewards usually directly presented a character, but now he could choose freely.
This was actually quite good.
However, there was still "Young and Dangerous" that hadn't finished filming, and he didn't know what role he would encounter next.
He decided to keep this opportunity for role simulation for now.
He would make a choice once he had confirmed his next project.
Su Han thought this way and directly replied to the system with his mind.
"I'll keep the opportunity for now, and choose later."
"Understood. This system will temporarily reserve a three-month role simulation opportunity for the host."
"After 'The Bad Kids' airs, you will receive corresponding rewards based on the character's popularity!"
"Please ensure the host actively promotes 'The Bad Kids'!"
Heeding the system's reminder, Su Han proactively opened Weibo and began composing a post.
He included a few photos taken by Yang Mi on the set of "The Bad Kids" that day, featuring Zhang Dongsheng.
One photo showed Zhang Dongsheng with hair, holding a camera and going for a hike.
Another photo showed Zhang Dongsheng with a bald head.
Then there was a group photo with the three young actors, a large group photo with the crew members, and a photo of Yang Mi visiting the set.
These were the photos.
Then he began typing the text: Thank you, 'The Bad Kids,' for giving me the role of Zhang Dongsheng. Zhang Dongsheng accompanied me for a month. For many people, this character might seem terrifying, but in my opinion, he is also quite pitiful.
He became so extreme because too many people pushed him. Of course, he also had his own faults, but as the actor who portrayed him, I can understand Zhang Dongsheng's actions.
I love Zhang Dongsheng! Thank you, Director Xin Shuang, and thank you to all the crew members. You all worked hard.
Finally, I must also thank Yang Mi. For the latter half of the month filming in Yangcheng, Yang Mi was by my side the entire time. Thank you!
Welcome everyone to go hiking with me~
