Acting Replacement Syndrome

New novel, The Advancement of a Third-Rate Director, please add it to your collection! Blurb: Ding Ding was abandoned without mercy by his so-called friends while playing a dare game in an abandoned haunted house. Armed with nothing but a Nokia with an insanely long battery life, he managed to survive seven days in the haunted house. After emerging from the haunted house looking like he had been dragged through a hedge backward, Ding Ding grew more and more unhappy about the whole thing. So he edited the videos he'd recorded in the haunted house into a short film. To his surprise, it became an overnight sensation. And so began his unexpected career as a director. Horror, comedy, art films... There was no genre he couldn't handle. The Film Association called him "a genius director who came out of nowhere," critics described him as "a once-in-a-century freak who defies the rules of film," and people in the industry called him "a tyrant and a devil." The actors, however, called him "the most lovable person around." Chinese cinema will break out of Asia and dominate Hollywood. It is no longer just a dream. P.S. A story about a blockhead who charges into the entertainment industry to become a director. As silly as ever.

Blurb: Luo Buli was trained at an acting conservatory, but his acting was always terrible, and he had become a nobody who only got bit parts. Then he suddenly discovered that he had awakened an acting-level-up System. Only, this System seemed a little unreliable. Casting director: Please act out a man consumed by hatred after falling in love. System: Ding! After searching your memory bank, I found a situation that can substitute for acting skills: constipation. Luo Buli's lower abdomen tightened, his thighs clenched together, and his eyes glimmered faintly with tears as they reddened from the effort of holding it in. After a gut-wrenching yell, all the pressure and pain were released in an instant... All that remained was an empty feeling and a faint sense of satisfaction. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The director and all the netizens: Holy crap, incredible! That acting is incredible! Whoever says this guy can't act, throw them out and give them the red punishment! A lighthearted comedy, a silly story. The characters and plot are fictional, and no real people are depicted. One-on-one romance, happy ending. The love interest is a powerful entertainment-industry CEO, the real deal. Theme: Keep striving and never give up.
