Chapter 343 New Project: "Infinite Transcendence Edition"

Wu Zhenyu shook the water droplets off his hands and sat down casually on the small stool opposite Xiao Chen.

Although he had just finished washing the dishes, there was a strange glint in his eyes—the almost obsessive passion of a veteran actor for performing.

"Ah Chen, I suddenly had an idea while I was washing the dishes."

He slapped his thigh, his voice hoarse with excitement.

"You know, all the talent shows on the market right now are singing and dancing contests. Can't we do something different?"

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand, and gestured for him to continue.

Wu Zhenyu leaned forward, gesturing rapidly.

"Let's make a variety show that teaches people how to act!"

"Bring over all the newcomers who have no chance, and even has-been actors."

"We'll train and teach face-to-face. Whoever performs best will get the contract and the role. Isn't that a great idea?"

Xiao Chen's fingers, which were holding the teacup, paused slightly, and a hint of surprise, imperceptible to others, flashed deep in his pupils.

Why does this idea sound so familiar?

Isn't this the hugely popular "Infinite Beyond Class" from later generations?

Even their ruthless pursuit of real acting skills and their relentless torment of newcomers are exactly the same.

Xiao Chen lowered his eyes, secretly laughing to himself.

It seems that excellent directors and actors, regardless of the time or place, share a common sensitivity to the industry.

"This idea has potential."

Xiao Chen parted his thin lips slightly, his voice neither hurried nor slow, yet it settled into everyone's ears like a stabilizing force.

He straightened his back slightly and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

"But this program can't just be about teachers teaching students; that's too boring, and nobody will watch it."

Chen Xiaochun also came over at this time, squeezing next to Wu Zhenyu.

"So what should we do? Add some explosive elements?"

Xiao Chen raised the corners of his eyes slightly, revealing a smile that was both refreshing and meaningful.

"We need to do something real and directly replicate the ecosystem of a classic film crew."

"Let's call it... 'Infinite Beyond Edition'."

His tone was calm, but his words were clear.

"The rules are simple. Divide the trainees into different levels, and have us old-timers lead the teams to directly recreate the classic scenes from back then."

"Work starts at six every morning. If you're late, you get points deducted. If you don't perform well, you're fired."

"Mentors not only need to have acting skills, but also need to have absolute authority, to criticize when they want, and to replace when they want."

The more Xiao Chen spoke, the smoother his logic became, and ready-made variety show templates automatically came to mind.

"Let's invite a few more senior figures to oversee things. For example, Mr. Zhiwen, or Director Kaige."

"Brother Zhenyu, your personality is perfect for being the head coach. Just put on a cold face, and those kids will be scared to death."

Wu Zhenyu listened in a daze, his eyes growing brighter with each word.

"Holy crap! Ah Chen, is your brain a computer? You even came up with names and processes?"

Leslie Cheung sat in a rocking chair, idly waving a folding fan in his hand.

He looked at Xiao Chen's almost perfect profile in the sunset and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"Ah Chen, how did your brain grow like that? What do you eat to supplement it?"

"If this plan were submitted to the TV station, the producers would probably be fighting over it."

Anita Mui joined in the fun.

"That's right, our Ah Chen is a veteran actor who has been roaming the world since he was three years old."

"When we were filming 'The New Legend of Shaolin,' I knew from his cleverness that he would become a genius in the future."

Dilraba listened intently, her big eyes filled with admiration.

Thinking of the grand blueprint he had just casually woven out.

Do men like this really exist in reality?

Xiao Chen didn't care about the praise from the crowd. He had always been a steady person and never became arrogant because of empty fame.

He took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.

"Aunt Hua, are you asleep?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Jinhua's voice was energetic and lively.

"Xiao Chen? Not yet, I'm dealing with your overseas contracts. What's up?"

Xiao Chen spoke concisely, his tone conveying an undeniable decisiveness.

"I have a variety show concept here called 'Infinite Beyond Version.' Have your team go over it tomorrow and register the copyright."

"I'll send you the details to your email later. Zhenyu and Chun have already given their approval, so you can make the arrangements as you see fit."

After handing over the work, Xiao Chen put away his phone immediately, his movements swift and efficient.

"Alright, that's enough business. Time to call it a day. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Wu Zhenyu and Chen Xiaochun exchanged a glance, completely impressed by his decisive and efficient style.

As night deepened, the faint chirping of insects echoed in the courtyard.

Everyone returned to their rooms, and the noise outside gradually subsided.

In this circle, Xiao Chen's fame has reached its peak, and his net worth is well over 100 million.

Even if you just randomly take on a gig, you can earn enough money to last an ordinary person several lifetimes.

But he still prefers this orderly pace of life.

This self-discipline and clarity of mind are the most precious treasures he brought back from that mediocre past life.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

The distant mountains were still shrouded in a thin morning mist, and the air was fresh with a slight chill.

Xiao Chen changed into a simple gray tracksuit and was bending down to tie his shoelaces.

He wore these ordinary clothes and somehow managed to make them look like high-end menswear.

"Ah Chen! Wait for us!"

Wu Zhenyu and Chen Xiaochun came out yawning repeatedly, clearly having set an alarm clock on purpose.

"Hey, we were having such a blast chatting last night, I almost couldn't get up."

Chen Xiaochun rubbed her eyes, but when she saw Xiao Chen's clean-cut and handsome face, she instantly became more awake.

"No way, Ah Chen, you look amazing! How do you take care of your skin? It's unbelievable!"

Xiao Chen stood up and did a chest-expanding exercise, the movements natural and graceful.

"Getting enough sleep and running more is better than any skincare product."

He made a sweet joke.

"Two award-winning actors are following me around, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Wu Zhenyu chuckled and patted his chest.

"The ones under the most pressure are the cameramen in the back. Come on, run! Let me see how good the Oscar-winning actor's stamina is!"

The three of them jogged along the country lane, their footsteps sounding particularly clear in the quiet morning.

Occasionally, early-rising villagers would stop and stare at Xiao Chen when they saw him by the roadside.

Although they may not know how many Grammys this young man has won or how many international blockbusters he has starred in.

But that face truly possessed a captivating allure that could make someone fall in love at first sight.

"Ah Chen, you're so handsome, don't a lot of girls like you?"

Chen Xiaochun ran while gossiping, a mischievous grin on her face.

Xiao Chen's steps were extremely steady, and his breathing rhythm was perfectly normal.

"To be honest, yes, but I'd rather focus on my career. I'm on set every day; what girl could stand that?"

"Never mind."

Wu Zhenyu, panting heavily, gave a thumbs up.

"Sure thing! I admire your drive. Ah Chen, if this show succeeds, you'll be the savior of the entertainment industry."

The sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the three running figures.

Xiao Chen was backlit, and his hair was dyed with a faint golden edge.

He knew that his era was far from over, and that the exciting story was just beginning.
