Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore Chapter 512: Listening to “Silent Search” Again

A slipper flew through the air, but Xiao He quickly dodged it, and it fell to the ground.

With that evasive movent, Xiao He's twisted body smoothly spun a full rotation, then he straightened up, returning to a normal posture. He looked helplessly at Liu Rulan, who had shattered the atmosphere. The dislocated joints around his body seed to have never existed. "Sister Liu, your timing really couldn't be worse."

The perfectly crafted atmosphere was completely ruined.

What a pity...

Xiao Chen finally snapped out of it, taking a step back, clutching his chest, and panting heavily. "Damn, Brother Xiao, where did you learn that move? That's insane! I almost thought you'd mutated and were going to pounce and bite ."

Liu Rulan calmly walked over barefoot on one foot, put her slipper back on, then looked Xiao He up and down with a disdainful expression. "Is this the 'bone-breaking dance' you ntioned signing up for classes to learn a while back?"

This looked less like bone-breaking dance and more like he'd taken an advanced course at a haunted house, ready to work there as staff anyti.

Based on Xiao He's performance just now, Liu Rulan was convinced he could scare the pants off haunted house custors.

It's just that a perfectly good handso guy really shouldn't waste his talents learning all this random nonsense.

Liu Rulan warned Xiao He, "Don't casually show off or scare people next ti. You should at least maintain so star dignity, okay?"

Xiao Chen was astonished. "Huh? When did Brother Xiao go learn dancing again? How co I didn't know? And isn't bone-breaking dance supposed to be really hard to learn? You probably need to start practicing that stuff from childhood... right?"

Most importantly, how on earth did his bones dislocate like that?!

He clearly heard bone-cracking sounds just now!

Xiao He's gaze drifted away. "Uh, I just went for so simple lessons. The dance teacher said my skeletal structure was remarkable, that I was good material for learning bone-breaking techniques, so I casually picked up a few moves."

Actually, this was just an excuse Xiao He made up for this skill. Liu Rulan had been very busy lately and had no ti to keep tabs on him.

The only thing that frustrated Xiao He was that his move earlier had almost scared Xiao Chen, yet when Sister Liu ca in, she showed not a hint of suspicion or fear, directly grabbing sothing and throwing it at him.

It's just that a perfectly good handso guy really shouldn't waste his talents learning all this random nonsense.

Liu Rulan just shrugged. "Isn't that the normal reaction? If you had really mutated, throwing sothing might have saved Xiao Chen's life. But if you were faking it, then shouldn't hitting you be even more justified?"

Learning these shady tricks just to scare your young assistant.

Isn't that asking for a beating?

Xiao He: "...That makes a lot of sense."

But Xiao He couldn't help defending himself. "Xiao Chen was the one who casually liked negative comnts about online first! He was secretly fanning the flas! I was just helping him accumulate more compensation for emotional distress!"

Xiao Chen, who had been secretly liking gossip about his own boss using a side account, also awkwardly emphasized, "Everyone was just ing, not actually insulting Brother Xiao! And I used a side account!"

What worker doesn't complain about their boss a bit?

Ahem—

"So, is my emotional distress compensation still going up?"

Xiao Chen shalessly asked again.

Liu Rulan looked left, then right, finally understanding that these two each got what they deserved.

"Forget it, forget it."

Liu Rulan massaged her forehead, then glared at Xiao He. "Deduct it from your salary!"

Xiao He: ?

What about being the company boss?

What about boss privileges?

Xiao He swallowed all his words.

"But that move you just did would actually be quite suitable for horror movies."

Liu Rulan looked Xiao He up and down, entering work mode, seriously contemplating as if flipping through suitable scripts in her mind.

But soon, a look of regret appeared on her face.

"Such a pity. There isn't much market for horror movies right now, and there aren't any suitable scripts."

Otherwise, Xiao He's skill would be enough to impress a director.

Xiao He spread his hands. "How about I go act as a zombie then."

The corner of Liu Rulan's mouth twitched, her tone helpless. "You should rember that zombie film 'Silent Search,' right? The one you auditioned for but failed to get into. That whole production team had incidents. From the director, producers, down to the actors and operations staff, basically everyone was investigated. Those who should have gone to jail did, and the others who luckily escaped are now basically erased from the industry. And those hundreds of millions in investnt all went down the drain, taken down in disgrace, never to be seen again."

"Since then, there haven't been any zombie films in the industry."

As Liu Rulan spoke, she sighed with mixed emotions. "Given the impact 'Silent Search' brought, probably no one in China will dare touch zombie films for the next five years."

That was the most disastrous investnt project in the industry in recent years, a bloody lesson that scared off almost everyone still watching that market.

So Xiao He still wants to act in zombie films?

Hehe, there won't even be zombie-thed content anymore, let alone zombie roles.

Xiao He: "...The impact was that severe?"

Liu Rulan sighed. "The capital market is like that. When a genre fails, other capital naturally isn't willing to invest in it. When a genre can easily succeed, it naturally becos a template, and countless capital actively rushes toward it."

And every failure of a major investnt project undoubtedly announces the suspension of developnt for a certain genre.

Though it might only be temporary, no one is willing to continue being the pioneer.

Like the zombie genre now, like sci-fi films before.

After hearing this, Xiao He could only sigh too.

To be honest, hearing the na 'Silent Search' again felt like sothing from a past life. The people he encountered back then had gradually withdrawn from the big stage of the dostic entertainnt industry, and Xiao He hadn't seen those old acquaintances again.

It's just that regarding Liu Rulan's forr artist Tong Junhui, Xiao He still felt much regret.

"Speaking of after that incident..."

Xiao He hesitated, cautiously watching Liu Rulan's expression.

"How is Tong Junhui doing?"

Tong Junhui's face was injured, and he withdrew from the entertainnt circle again due to the case. Later, Xiao He and the others went abroad to film 'No Bait,' and in the blink of an eye until now, Xiao He hadn't heard any news about Tong Junhui, not even ntions of him online.

It was as if he had been completely forgotten.

This ti, after Xiao He asked this question, Liu Rulan also shook her head. "I don't know. He seems to have completely disappeared again."

Xiao He was stunned for a mont, then seed to understand that Tong Junhui was hiding from Liu Rulan, and also hiding from them.

Nowadays, Xiao He's path as a star is smooth and unobstructed, sailing with the wind. Seeing them again would inevitably make Tong Junhui feel sowhat lancholic.

Better to just beco strangers like this, never to et again.

So Xiao He didn't bring up the matter again.

Liu Rulan's expression remained normal, no longer generating extra emotions about Tong Junhui's affairs. Instead, she took out her phone to make a note. "Even though you can't act in horror films or zombie films, it's still a skill. I'll add it to your resu first, in case so director takes a liking to it later."

Xiao He: "...Alright."

But just what kind of director would take a liking to a skill like this, huh!
