Synopsis

(Anyone interested in adapting this into a short drama can search for From Extra to Movie Star.)

Su Han, a background actor working in Hengdian, activates the Villainous Movie Star System.

He simulates the villain Feng Yuxiu from the film The Wrath of Vajra.

After simulating Feng Yuxiu for three months in the System, he has mastered every aspect of the character's circumstances and feelings, and even acquired his martial arts skills.

Before the audition,

Director: “Aren't you that hopeless extra from Hengdian? No, no, this is the male lead's second role. You don't qualify!”

After the audition,

Director: “Holy crap! That's not acting, that's Feng Yuxiu himself! But you're way too evil. Tone it down a little, you're scaring me!”

With his portrayal of Feng Yuxiu, Su Han becomes an overnight sensation in the film industry!

He goes on to land roles in:

Infernal Affairs II as Ni Yongxiao, the highly educated son of a gangster,

Flash Point as Tony,

SPL II: A Time for Consequences as Gao Jin, the suited-up brute,

Protege as Lin Kun, a major drug lord,

Young and Dangerous as Crow,

The Bad Kids as Zhang Dongsheng,

The Knockout as Sun Xing,

Green Snake as Fahai,

Dog Bite Dog as Pang.

Su Han's villain roles become wildly popular in China, earning him the Best Actor award.

His fame soon spreads overseas, and international filmmakers invite him to appear in:

The Dark Knight as the Joker,

Joker as Arthur Fleck,

The Silence of the Lambs as Hannibal, taking the aesthetics of violence to their extreme!

The Knockout as Gao Qiqiang,

The Thunder as Dong Shu,

The Long Season as the mute Fu Weijun.

His villain roles make him famous around the world!

He becomes an Oscar-winning Best Actor and the most admired actor among audiences both at home and abroad!

It's pretty good, but there aren't enough chapters. I hope the author updates faster; I'm saying 100,000 chapters a day! 🌝🌝

It's beautiful (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ but the author's writing is too short and weak 😏😏😏😏 I hope the author can write more and more powerful chapters 😏😏😏😏 [Please update more frequently]

It's a great book. I've read several of the author's books, and they're all excellent. I just wonder if this author will give a true ending, or just a simple conclusion.

I hope there are multiple female leads! A single female lead wouldn't be as good! But multiple female leads would be much better! This is my personal opinion after over 2000 hours of reading! The book is very good! Keep it up, author! (The above is just my personal opinion) It's Dilraba! It's Dilraba! So many women at the beginning, and then they all disappear!

The book is great; some scenes really made me laugh. It's really good. I hope the author writes more; I'll definitely support you. Seriously, I found myself reading this book all night long—can you believe it? That just proves how good it is! 😍🌹🌹🌹 There are some typos in the author's writing, I hope you won't mind, but it won't hinder our reading unless you're skipping around 😊 It really gets better the more you watch it; it's very good, and the pacing of the plot is excellent.

Four stars indicates that there were a few points in this book that didn't quite suit my taste. When I read novels, I'm really looking for a sense of immersion, plausibility, smooth writing, and interesting plot points designed by the author. These are what make reading a novel enjoyable and satisfying.
