243 New Team... What? (1/2)

The new database exhausted Ye Shuang for another whole night as she needed to memorize and arrange it. Even though she had a computer and search engine, many things were more reliable if she remembered them. What if she forgot to bring her laptop? Or when it was not suitable to do a search, at least Ye Shuang herself would be able to predict the most suitable solution swiftly. However, the team definition mentioned by Agent Zhang was a predicament for Ye Shuang.

If explained in the perspective of an online game, Ye Shuang previously had held a beginner-level occupation, and after she acquired a mid-tier occupation, the skill tree would start to have different branches. Official cases could be considered support class where the agent depended on support skills to help the actual team members complete the cases. Even though it was safer, and the range of cases were wider, it was lacking in main DPS or productivity, so in terms of cases, the agent did not have much to say. Naturally, that meant that one's right to the loot was lower.

Fringe cases meant the agent would be bringing their own team and act as the DPS. Since they killed more, they would earn more. The inverse was that the rate of danger would be too high, and they might suffer a loss.

So, whether Ye Shuang should focus on official cases or expand her focus on fringe cases to fight for the so-called lucrative income was the current question.

Once she had memorized the database and thought about it for three minutes, Ye Shuang decided to go with the flow—after all, she temporarily did not have the plan to start a team—she would start that process when she came across a case that required her to.

…

The next day, Ye Shuang asked for Luo Mingxin's schedule from Boss Mo. She went to find the man after finding out the set that he was at. When she arrived, Luo Mingxin was shooting some scenes, so Ye Shuang hugged her arms and stood at the side to watch. In everyday life, when the camera was not rolling, the persona Luo Mingxin gave himself was kind and graceful. Therefore, he acted like a gentleman and was generous. Even though this was technically another mask, after it was maintained for so many years, the mask had become a part of Luo Mingxin's personality.

When it came to Luo Mingxin's acting skill, other than the previous chance when she acted alongside Luo Mingxin, this was the first time that Ye Shuang had seen the improvement in Luo Mingxin since then.

Perhaps the man had found enlightenment, or he had been studying the minute changes to his micro-expression. In any case, several months later, Ye Shuang realized that the current Luo Mingxin was already on a different scale compared to before.

The previous Luo Mingxin had been a good actor, one that would be able to express his feeling to the audience easily… anger, fear, happiness, patience, and so on. However, no matter how good he was back then, or how good the audience was able to put themselves in his shoes, when the movie was over, the audience would say, ”That Luo Mingxin is such a good actor.”

But things had changed. Whenever people saw him, the first thought that flashed across their mind would be—This is XXX and not This is XXX played by Luo Mingxin.

After the scene was over, Luo Mingxin got down from set to remove his make-up. Ye Shuang then walked out from the corner. She greeted Luo Mingxin, who looked at her with shock, warmly and praised, ”Looks like our Celebrity Luo is going for an Oscar with his next movie.”

The crew members also just noticed Brother Shuang, who had walked out from the shadows, and instantly the murmurs started to rise.

”You're just here to steal my thunder, aren't you?” Luo Mingxin did not know whether to laugh or cry after he recovered. He flung the long sleeves, exuding the casualness of his character in the movie. ”Come with me.”

Then he turned to reveal the jeans and shoes underneath the traditional Chinese costume…

The two entered the dressing room, and Luo Mingxin sat before the mirror. As he allowed the make-up artist to remove the make-up, he pointed at his assistant to find a thick script from his personal bag. He accepted the script and tossed it to Ye Shuang without glancing at it. ”This is the new copy. The characters that have red lines underneath them can be chosen freely.”

This is the benefit of having connections! The assistant sighed internally. Other people had to fight tooth and nail to get a character, but this rule did not apply to Ye Shuang. His previous character had received such a good reception from the public, and now he had the superstar to help him clear the path. If he was really interested in the business, with his current results and connections, success was only a matter of time.

Ye Shuang glanced through the script, basically allocating each page five seconds. She did not look like she was reading seriously, but half an hour later, he closed the script and gave an answer after some thought. ”That general is not bad—I'll take him.”

”…The one that was cut down?” Luo Mingxin thought about it and asked with a raised brow, ”The chance for that character to show up on screen is low; are you sure you don't want to change?”

”There's no need to. After all, I'm just spending time here because I'm bored.” Of course, Ye Shuang could not say she just wanted an opportunity to get close to Xia Cheng, so the character did not really matter that much. ”Same ol' rules. Since I'm part of the crew now, if there's any party or event, remember to call me.”

Luo Mingxin laughed with amusement. ”You only have five minutes of screen time; it might be less than two minutes after editing, and you have the face to say you're part of the crew?”
