You Asked Me to Play the Villain, and Now You're Saying I Don't Eat Beef?

After transmigrating to Blue Star, the talent show I Am an Actor is about to premiere.

Lin Yuan, an extra, is chosen to compete on the same stage as the capital's young masters and famous directors' sons.

With no connections or backing, Lin Yuan is not considered a contender.

Director Chen Kaige even mocks Lin Yuan's acting, saying he is unworthy of being on the show.

Guo Xiaosi is even more sarcastic:

“In my eyes, you're way too amateurish. You simply don't belong on this stage.”

“I think it's good enough that you got to come. It's all about taking part.”

Just as netizens expect Lin Yuan to be the first eliminated:

Playing Cao Ying's son, a warlord in The City of Life and Death,

Lin Yuan gets a perfect score with one line: “I don't eat beef,” face-slapping the lousy director!

Playing the ruthless bandit Liu Huaqiang:

“Is this melon ripe?”

The iconic scene sets the internet ablaze, and netizens suggest investigating Lin Yuan, saying it doesn't look like he's acting.

Playing Gao Qiqiang in The Knockout:

One line, “Lao Mo, I feel like having fish,” makes his acting godlike and leaves veteran actors stunned!

Young Marshal Cao from The City of Life and Death, Gao Qiqiang from The Knockout, Qi Tongwei from In the Name of the People, Uncle Dong from Tazhai Village...

One veteran actor known for playing villains says, “Villains can be played like this? I've been taking the wrong path all along.”
