Entertainment: Who Said That the Golden Supporting Role Cannot Become the Top Stream

108: The Master’s Eyes, the Censor’s HeartThat ”peak dialogue” with Hollywood’s ace screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was like a shot in the arm for the ambitious project iron-blooded censor, and it once again ignited a new round of discussion about Lin Da’s name in Beijing and even the entire Chinese film and television industry.

When the news broke that Lin Da and Sorkin had reached a high degree of consensus on the core concept of the international adaptation of iron-blooded censor and established a ”key partnership,” the entire crew preparation office fell into a state of… almost boiling ecstasy and disbelief!

Director Zhang Jingzhi and Art Consultant Wu Tianming, two highly respected seniors in the Chinese film and television industry, after their initial shock, looked at Lin Da with undisguised admiration and… a hint of awe for the younger generation. They knew that this young man’s future was no longer limited to the domestic market, but rather… that broader and more challenging international stage!

Producer Liu was even more excited, her beautiful eyes sparkling! She knew that this time, she had truly… unearthed a ”peerless genius” capable of changing the entire landscape of Chinese film and television, and even… causing a stir in Hollywood! The future commercial value and artistic achievements of iron-blooded censor, thanks to the strong collaboration between Lin Da and Aaron Sorkin, were already… immeasurable!

Several high-level representatives from Netflix also praised Lin Da’s performance, immediately deciding to raise the production budget for iron-blooded censor by another level! They also promised to utilize all of Netflix’s global publicity resources to escort this ”Sino-American co-production” epic drama!

For a time, Lin Da was in the spotlight.

However, he did not lose himself in these sudden praises and opportunities. He knew that all of this was just the beginning. The real test was yet to come.

Returning to his hotel room, the first thing Lin Da did was to fully immerse himself in the system’s incredibly generous rewards.

Script Insight (Grandmaster)!

This newly advanced passive skill was simply a tailor-made ”script navigator” for him! He could clearly feel that his comprehension of text, his insight into story structure, and his judgment of character shaping potential had all reached a new, astonishing height!

”Grandmaster level, can trigger the ’Midas Touch’ effect (making key modifications or suggestions to potential scripts, greatly enhancing their final quality and success rate).”

”Midas Touch…” Lin Da murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He knew that this effect would be his important reliance for future script creation, and even… for guiding the direction of projects!

And the brand-new passive skill—the actor emperor road · Director’s Favor (Elementary)—filled him with infinite imagination for his future Hollywood journey.

”When the host cooperates or communicates with top international directors, it is easier to gain their appreciation, trust, and… ’creative authorization,’ and there is a certain chance to obtain the opportunity for them to ’tailor-make’ exclusive projects for the host.”

”Creative authorization… tailor-made…” Lin Da’s heart pounded again! He knew that this meant he would have more opportunities to connect with truly top-tier international production teams, to play those… good roles that could truly make him shine!

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions. He knew that the most important thing now was to be down-to-earth and to portray iron-blooded censor and the character Song Qi to the extreme!

In the following days, Lin Da, Aaron Sorkin, Director Zhang Jingzhi, Director Wu Tianming, and others engaged in round after round of intense and fruitful ”brainstorming” sessions on the script details of iron-blooded censor.

Under the enhancement of Script Insight (Grandmaster) and Word Spirit (Advanced) skills, many of Lin Da’s suggestions regarding Song Qi’s character shaping, pacing, and… how to better integrate international narrative elements while retaining the core of Eastern culture, were highly recognized by Aaron Sorkin and the two Chinese directors.
