Prologue

The dazzling white light filled the entire photography studio. When Guan Yu finally opened his eyes again, he saw that the breath of Xi Bin had completely vanished, his body slumped weakly. The inexplicable strong light had also disappeared without a trace, prompting him to scream: "Help!"

Guanyu, disguised as another assassin from the Jin Kingdom, walked up behind him and chuckled, "Who told you that I am the director? Pretty girls are all eager to be coerced into compliance, aren't they? You are a script supervisor; this is a shortcut to becoming a director. Once you make a name for yourself, you too can enjoy this treatment"

Xi Bin smiled and said, "Director, I have really gone through great lengths, using all sorts of persuasion, and finally managed to get the approval of the Dalai Lama. The items have already been borrowed."

Director Wang was overjoyed and patted his shoulder heavily: "Well done, tomorrow we will shoot the scene paying tribute to Wanyan Aguda. With this artifact, it really feels authentic. Have you placed it properly?"

Then let's call for two more

Xi Bin turned around and saw that it was his good friend Guan Yu, which made him feel relieved

Xi Bin laughed heartily as he listened, and the two of them walked into the second studio. This is a period martial arts film set against the backdrop of the late Northern Song Dynasty. The director designed a scene in which a Shaman from the Jin Dynasty presides over a ritual to worship Wanyan Aguda. In pursuit of an ancient and elegant atmosphere, Xi Bin borrowed a "Great Wheel of Reincarnation" and a *Tushu* from a nearby Lama temple.

Xi Bin laughed and said: "Is that what you call talent? Look at the script you wrote, the famous courtesan Li Shishi is a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, and the fourth prince of the Jin dynasty, Wanyan Wushou, is a master of the Yinkui sect. This is just too far-fetched, isn't it?"

Are you capable? My friend is not just boasting; he comes from a martial arts background and is in excellent shape. He can handle seven times in one night without any issue. As for your body, which is often hunched over typing, that waist strength... heh heh... heh heh...

Hey, hey, hey, put us down!

Prince Ye could no longer afford to speak with Xi Bin and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xi, I will trouble you with this, I must take my leave now." After saying this, he quickly followed after the beautiful Zhu.

"Haha, alright, alright, it's on me, it's on me!" Director Wang immediately beamed with joy: "Let's go, wash off your makeup and take a shower first. Later, I'll take you out; just the two of us will try some authentic Tibetan cuisine."

"Cut! That's a wrap for today!" Director Wang Ziye exclaimed with satisfaction

As the two individuals entered the photography studio, they saw that the enormous wheel of reincarnation was already securely suspended in the air by three steel cables.

Director Wang took a step back: "Xiao Xi, how is the item I asked you to borrow?"

Xi Bin was covered in blood, unconscious. Upon seeing this, Guan Yu was terrified, shouting for help while desperately trying to support the large reincarnation disk. In his frantic efforts, he unknowingly triggered something, and the large reincarnation disk suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, causing a sharp pain in the center of his brow.

The Wheel of Rebirth is a treasure of the Buddhist teachings. It is said that the Buddha once used it to guide his confused disciples, allowing them to experience a hundred lifetimes and thousands of years of life and death in an instant, ultimately leading to profound enlightenment. This is merely a legend and need not be scrutinized deeply, but this object is indeed of ancient origin. Xi Bin was concerned that it might be damaged, and repeatedly instructed the crew to ensure it was securely suspended.

Director Wang called out, and the assassin, with a bloodied bamboo tip protruding from his chest, ran over: "Director Wang."

Guan Yu also revealed a lewd smile: "As for me, I haven't had as many times as you. I only do it once a night, and that once lasts the whole night, hahahaha..."

Xi Bin cast a sharp glance at Miss Sheng Han's gracefully swaying waist, let out a gentle sigh, and enviously remarked: "Alas, what a pity that a whole garden of fine cabbages has been trampled by pigs"

"Xiao Xi, come here, come here."

The actors playing the corpses suddenly sprang up and immediately scattered like birds and beasts

The crew carefully lowered them down using ropes

Guan Yu shook his head and sighed with a pained expression, saying, "Forget it, screenwriters are not in demand these days, nor are books."

Guan Yu rolled his eyes and disdainfully said, "Nonsense, I would like to write a more serious script, but will you invest in it after I finish? In that film starring Fan Wei, a broken plastic shell sold for two hundred thousand pounds. Did that rich man get kicked in the head by a donkey? And in that wildly popular historical blockbuster, the brilliant Cao Cao actually held back his troops because Xiao Qiao was performing a tea ceremony. Is that even possible? The audience still watched it with great interest. I've seen through it; putting in a lot of effort to create something serious is not as good as entertaining the audience with a good laugh. Who still seriously analyzes the plot and content these days?"

He is a script supervisor, belonging to the director's department. However, the position of script supervisor is the lowest in the director's department, with the least favorable treatment and the heaviest workload. Nevertheless, being a script supervisor is indeed a shortcut to becoming a director. If one performs well, after completing a film, they become qualified to be an assistant director

Director Wang was speaking when a sweet, delicate voice called out. The leading lady, Miss Sheng Han, dressed as a heroine, gracefully walked over and said: "Director Wang, we had six NGs today, and I’m exhausted and sore all over. You must treat us tonight."

Xi Bin was unable to dodge in time and heavily struck his forehead against the Great Reincarnation Disk, instantly falling backward with his face covered in blood. Guan Yu, who was following closely behind, was knocked down to the ground as Xi Bin fell back. Fortunately, there were some objects on the ground nearby, preventing the Great Reincarnation Disk from pressing down completely.

It was precisely because I saw this that I chose to study the humanities. Who would have thought that human plans are no match for the heavens? By the time I finally make a name for myself, the times will have progressed, and writers will no longer be called writers; they will all be referred to as content creators. The petite bourgeois young women have all but disappeared, and those who are beautiful have gone straight for money and power. Nowadays, directors are in high demand, while I, as a content creator, can only indulge myself online with some nostalgia.

The masked heroine held the sword technique in her hand and struck two more poses before standing still with a beaming smile. She then removed the mask, revealing a charming face.

Guan Yu is the screenwriter of this film, and the two share a close friendship. In light of the current economic crisis, in order to save costs, the director decided to have these two assassins, who only appear once, make cameo appearances.

This is a bamboo forest, where a bloodied corpse is impaled on a sharpened bamboo stalk, and another man is trapped between two closely growing bamboo shoots. At this moment, the man on the bamboo tip turns his head and shouts down, while the warrior pretending to be dead between the bamboo shoots also opens his eyes.

Two lecherous fellows spoke of women with great enthusiasm, boasting about themselves with delight. Perhaps even the heavens could not bear to watch, for there was a sudden "crack" overhead. Xi Bin instinctively looked up and could not help but exclaim: "What the heck!"

Sheng Han cast a flirtatious glance at him and walked away gracefully.

As the two walked shoulder to shoulder towards the second studio, Guan Yu expressed his grievances, saying: "Since I was young, I have read quite a few novels and have come to a conclusion: to win a woman's heart, one must possess talent. From Sima Xiangru, who seduced the beautiful widow Zhuo Wenjun, to Zhang Sheng, who wooed Cui Yingying, and even to modern figures like Xu Zhimo, who hasn't used their scholarly achievements as a stepping stone?"

Guan Yu's spirit lifted upon hearing this, and he quickly asked, "Are you treating?"

When it comes to unrecognized talent, it cannot attract beautiful women to embrace it, which makes the great scholar sigh deeply. Xi Bin put his arm around his shoulder and laughed lewdly, saying: "Alright, stop talking about useless things. I'm tired of the boxed meals from the crew. How about we go out to eat later? In the evening, let's invite a couple of ladies to relax a bit..."

Only then did one see that the heavy large wheel of the cycle had snapped a steel wire, swayed a couple of times, and then with a "crack" twice, it came crashing down heavily

Xi Bin patted his shoulder and laughed, saying: "Why do you walk so quietly? You scared me to death. Has Miss Sheng Han thrown you any flirtatious glances?"

Of course

Rest assured, Director Wang, there will be no issues. I will check again in a little while

Director Wang said with satisfaction: "Good, good, good, the work attitude is sufficiently rigorous; details determine success or failure..."
