A Showbiz Mogul from the Start

At the lavish Academy Awards ceremony, Zhao Xiaoshuai, dressed to the nines and waving his little golden statuette, addresses the assembled luminaries of the global entertainment industry, including celebrated actresses, actors, and dazzling stars: To be an actor, you have to put your heart into it and embody every role. Play a beggar, and you're a beggar. Play a prince, and you're a prince...

System: SSS-rank mission activated. Host, please complete the mission at your leisure!

Zhao Xiaoshuai ignores the System and keeps rambling: Of course, acting skill alone isn't nearly enough to make a good actor! Character is what matters most. We in the entertainment industry strive to be both virtuous and talented!

System: Host, you don't have much time left!

Damn, I've only got three years to live! Hurry up and do the mission!
