Super Zoo

Chapter 627: The Holy Land of Performative Talents_2



A performance personality disorder patient who gets excited at the sight of women, where's the most suitable place for him to go? Definitely the entertainment industry.

There are several benefits. First, there are far too many options, the entertainment industry is brimming with women, beautiful women of all kinds, with different personalities and diverse styles! The key to shock therapy is to use a massive amount of stimuli, and the entertainment industry can surely meet that requirement. Which play doesn't have female actors? Not only is the base of female actors large, but there is also a constant influx of new blood. If Lin Mu's problem couldn't be cured, he could flirt with girls in the industry until he's eighty without any repeats. Even Xie Tingfeng's dad from Xiangjiang, at his age, changes his twenty-something girlfriends daily.

Second, since it is acting, everyone knows it's fake, no one will pursue Lin Mu's "harassment", and he can even flirt as much as he desires. Suming watched Wang Jin act; it was a romantic scene, with a few lines, a few glances, and finally, a kiss. They had to shoot it seven or eight times before it was right; when not filming, male and female actors could still converse on set, rehearse their lines... In short, even if Lin Mu was only responsible for a small romantic part in a play, he had ample opportunities to legitimately show off in front of the female actors and be ecstatic;

Third, the entertainment industry has its chaotic side. Not all actors and directors rise through the ranks via unspoken rules, but these rules do exist. Moreover, you often play lovers with different people in the plays, with passionate scenes included, so people in the industry are relatively open-minded compared to other jobs, and there are not too many taboos between men and women, making it a suitable place for Lin Mu to stay.

In this way, he would at most be considered "quite lecherous" or even "quite lively" compared to the real old wolves of the industry; Lin Mu might even be seen as a naive young man because he never resorts to dirty tricks when chasing girls. Who knows, with his good looks and six-pack abs, he might become the coveted treasure of those lonely female actors...

In conclusion, this performance personality disorder guy, who loves to act like a lover in front of women, might as well be sent to the entertainment industry, where everyone lives behind masks and where the beauties abound.

"I'm so smart!" Suming thought the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was right, and gave his thigh a solid slap.

Yang Tao and the others were dumbfounded, staring at Suming with their mouths wide open.

"Hey, little wooden head, can your disease be contagious? Infect me, please!" Wang Hao hugged Lin Mu tightly with his greasy hands, as though he wanted to contract Lin Mu's psychological disorder through physical contact.

Lin Mu and Yang Tao were not aware of Suming's real power. Yang Tao said doubtfully, "Isn't it not so easy to get into the entertainment industry? He can't just run off to Hengdian to be a background actor. Who knows if he'll ever make it big."

"I also thought about acting," Lin Mu said. "But Old Yang is right, we have no way in."

"You have a way in? Oh right, that Terror Animal City, it was at your zoo they were looking for scenery and animals, wasn't it?" Yang Tao caught the implied meaning in Suming's words. Since he came up with the idea, Suming must not be just talking off the top of his head.

"You two don't study, don't read the newspapers, don't care about national affairs!" Wang Hao sat with his legs crossed, "Do you know who the investor of Terror Animal City is?"

The two shook their heads simultaneously. Just as Suming told Li Wanting, even though the behind-the-scenes staff were in the upper-middle levels of the entertainment industry, they were never as dazzling as the actors. The investor's name only flashes by at the end of a movie; who would take note of that?

Everyone knows the lead actor of the current domestic box office champion, but ask who financed it, nine out of ten viewers wouldn't know, and the tenth would be guessing.

But since Wang Hao asked like that, the other two, however foolish, could guess, staring at Suming, "It couldn't be you, could it?"

Suming just smiled.

"Do you know Huaxia Star, Disney?" Wang Hao continued to quiz.

"It can't be that those two companies are actually owned by you, right?" Lin Mu exclaimed in shock.

Suming almost choked on his own saliva. He really dared to dream—Huaxia Star was one thing, given a few more years, he might be on par with it, but Disney was still a behemoth to him at the moment.

"Suming has good relationships with both companies," Wang Hao said.

"Old Su, really? For real?" Lin Mu looked at Suming with surprise. "You've only graduated not long ago, aren't you advancing a bit too fast?"

"Some of it's just coincidence. It's not something that can be explained in a word or two," Suming waved his hands and said.

"You kid, even keeping us in the dark. No wonder during the alumni meeting, Luo Sha was so supportive of you," Yang Tao said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"I didn't intentionally keep it from everyone. You saw it, if I talked about these things, it would have changed the atmosphere of the meeting. I can't just go blabbering in the group about making some money, right?"

Suming glanced at Yang Tao, "Old Yang, since we're speaking openly now, and we're all friends here, I won't beat around the bush. I heard from Wang that your family's company is having some troubles, if you need help, just say the word."

"I know." Yang Tao grinned, "I'll try to handle it on my own first, if I really can't cope, then I'll ask for your help."

"Little Woody, what about you?" Suming asked.

"Damn, what can I say? Of course, I'm willing. If I get more roles in the future, I'm even willing to resign." Lin Mu's family was well-off, with several properties for rent, including a storefront.

Suming nodded, "Alright, I'll help you get in touch. Of course, at the start, there won't be many parts for you, maybe just as a supporting character or an extra."

In Demonic Realm Taoyuan, there was a large group of art school 'sprites' who had to practice every day; and ever since Terror Animal City shot on location in the zoo and Wang Jin filmed there, Yangchuan City's entertainment circle had suddenly become famous with the zoo. Lots of young people dreaming of stardom often came to the zoo with a 'pilgrimage' mindset. During the time Wang Jin was filming, an open space at the foot of the mountain in Demonic Realm Taoyuan actually became a gathering place for temporary actors and extras.

Even if there was no filming for the time being, Lin Mu could also practice 'romantic scenes' with the 'sprites' from the back mountain and the extras who occasionally came here.

"No problem, I'm not doing it to become a star anyway." What Lin Mu wanted was a chance to stand out sensibly.

Seeing Lin Mu getting a bit excited, Suming put on a stern face, "However, let's get something clear in advance. First, I'll go to the hospital and get you an alcohol allergy certificate; in any case, you're not allowed to drink! Since you're not after fame, you're not afraid of offending anyone, and if someone gives you trouble over drinking, I'll handle it for you!"

"Okay," Lin Mu nodded, he had come to detest alcohol now.

"Second, standing out is fine, and I don't care about your flirting or picking up girls, but I'll give you four words: mutual consent! " Suming spoke calmly. This was a line that must not be crossed in one's character, and also a line for friends. If Lin Mu couldn't even keep to this principle in the entertainment industry where it was easy to get sidetracked, then Suming was no longer interested in being his friend.

"Look at what you're saying, I may be sick, but I'm not shameless," Lin Mu chuckled.

"I think it's more or less the same," Wang Hao commented leisurely.
