Chapter 1 Wishing Star Across Myriad Realms
In the quaint inn, a group of wandering travelers dressed in ancient costumes ate and chatted in twos and threes.
In the corridor on the second floor of the inn, Li Ling, dressed in a white robe, pursed his slightly dry lips.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and focused intently on the first floor, or more precisely, on an empty wooden table on the first floor.
"Scene 32, Shot 1, Action!"
A shout came from the second-floor corridor, and Li Ling took a deep breath.
With a running start, he used the force of the wires to flip in mid-air, soaring over the second-floor wooden railing before crashing straight down onto the wooden table that had already been prepared on the first floor.
"Bang!"
The entire wooden table was smashed to pieces by Li Ling, who lay unconscious on the shattered surface.
"Cut! Okay, that's a pass!"
Behind the camera, the bearded director called for a pause.
At this moment, Li Ling, who had been pretending to be unconscious, opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and stood up, holding onto the wooden bench next to him, and rubbed his chest, which felt a little stuffy from the fall.
Although he was protected and the wooden table had been prepared in advance so that it would fall apart with the slightest touch, falling from the second floor still gave Li Ling quite a hard time.
"Now we're reshooting a close-up shot of the male lead's face as he falls from the second floor. All units, get ready," the bearded director commanded.
Li Ling quickly stepped out of the camera's view, removed the wire from her body, and went to the rest area. She hurriedly drank some water and breathed a sigh of relief, which eased the tightness in her chest that she had felt after the fall.
While drinking water, Li Ling looked enviously at the first floor of the inn.
The wooden table that was originally broken has been replaced with the male lead of this TV series, a young actor who has recently become quite popular. They are currently reshooting a scene where the male lead falls from the second floor and smashes the wooden table on the first floor.
"Once I get through this difficult period, I need to hone my acting skills and try to get a role with screen time, not for fame, but just to earn more money," Li Ling thought to himself.
That's right, this is the filming location of a martial arts drama in Hengdian World Studios. Li Ling is currently a stunt double for this crew, commonly known as a 'stuntman'.
Li Ling is 1.85 meters tall, a handsome guy with a very sunny and tough temperament. He looks very similar to the big star Chen Kun, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen as a stand-in for the male lead in a TV series.
Li Ling attended a second-rate sports university. After graduating and entering the workforce, he discovered that the employment pressure on college graduates was beyond his imagination.
His classmates, those with connections got into the provincial sports team and the national team; those with connections got into state-owned enterprises and large private companies; and those with wealthy fathers went home to become second-generation rich kids.
Someone like him, who has nothing, can only grit his teeth and try to make his way in the world.
Being handsome doesn't put food on the table! A sunny, rugged charm is utterly useless!
You can't blame anyone else; it's your own fault for not studying well back then and not getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, or any other 985 or 211 university!
Li Ling came from the countryside. He was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but reality told him that it was not like that
