"The dry pot chicken and crispy fish are really delicious."

There are various restaurants near the Beijing Film Academy dormitory. One of them, named Lao Li Restaurant, is the most prosperous. Three men and one woman are eating and drinking by the window on the west side of the second floor of Lao Li Restaurant.

The three men and one woman are Li Xian, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, and Yang Hao.

Yang Hao, 178cm tall, claims to be 180cm tall, 2010 undergraduate performance class, what can I say about his appearance? He has no talent, but he can pass the art exam with this face, so let's just say he is handsome or not.

Of course the main reason is that the protagonist is not handsome and the author has no sense of empathy.

The reason why he often has dinner with Li Xian, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan is of course because Yang Hao was reborn into this world and knows that these three will become the most popular in the 10th grade acting department.

According to the tradition of the Yang family, whoever is popular will be played with.

Yang Hao began to deliberately approach these three people. After a while, he found that these people were indeed good people, so he became real friends. They often went out for meals and exchanged feelings.

"Hey, hey, Boss Yang, you said you were considered a freak in the 10th-grade acting department. Your sophomore year is almost over, and you haven't even joined any production crews. Instead, you've opened more than a dozen braised chicken and rice restaurants? Are you planning to give up the pursuit of performing arts? Are you devoting yourself to mediocrity?"

Zhang Yishan picked up the food and put it into his mouth while chatting jokingly with Yang Hao.

They said they were just joking and chatting, but in fact, Li Xian, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were all listening with their ears perked up. It's not easy to get into the entertainment industry, and it's even more difficult to get into a reliable crew and play a good role.

Zhang Yishan and the other two have been to all of Yang Hao's dozen or so braised chicken and rice restaurants. Business is booming and the seats for dine-in are always full during meal times.

A lot of small tables and chairs need to be arranged outside the store. Although I don’t know how much money I can make, it is definitely not a small number. If I really make a lot of money, it may be helpful to me and others in the future.

Yang Hao did not hide the fact that he opened a braised chicken rice shop, and many of his classmates at Beijing Film Academy knew about it.

Why do so many people know about it? Of course it’s because Yang Hao spread it out from time to time, occasionally, deliberately and specially.

Why spread the news that you opened a shop and made a lot of money.

Then you certainly can't admit that you are fishing.

As for what kind of fish it is, those who know will know.

As a student majoring in acting, why didn't he think about his acting career, but instead opened a braised chicken shop? This is because Yang Hao has a golden finger that he must have when he is reborn, the super rich cashback system.

You read it right, it’s the kind that offers a 24-fold cashback at the start and can inflate the RMB into the ghost money issued by Tiandi Bank in hours (a weakened version).

Uh, a weakened version, a weak version.

Shenhao Cashback System
Cashback ratio: 0.1 (10 yuan cashback for every 1 yuan spent)
Appearance: 88 (Appearance is affected by many factors, such as clothing, facial expressions, movements, wealth, status, film and television works, etc., and it is a fluctuating value)
Skills: Acting (beginner), directing (not yet started), singing (not yet started)…

Cashback amount: 98 yuan (you can choose the cashback channel, limited to the cultural and entertainment industry, such as movie box office, etc.)
Note: If you purchase gold, stocks, real estate and other value-preserving financial products and sell them again after purchase, only the first consumption cashback will be calculated.

Today, Yang Hao just went out for a dinner party, so his outfit was very casual. His appearance score of 88 is normal, and it is not low to be honest.

It's a pity that this system doesn't have dark blue points, otherwise the high and low appearances would be maxed out.

Through this appearance score, Yang Hao clearly knows how to dress and what facial expressions and movements are the most handsome.

When taking the art exam, Yang Hao wore a white shirt and casual trousers, which slightly revealed his six-pack abs. He stood sideways with his arms slightly spread out and a 99-degree smile on his lips. The system gave him a score of for his appearance, which was almost a full score.

It is precisely because of this killer skill of his stunning appearance that he stands out from the many art exam candidates.

The cashback amount can be selected through the cashback channel, which is what Yang Hao attaches the most importance to.

If you save 1 million cashback and invest all of it in a movie, and divide the box office into one-third, you can directly generate an additional 2012 million box office. Compared with the box office of movies in , million box office does not seem to be much.

But you have to know that this is an additional 300 million box office revenue. This is the power of the system, which allowed people who originally didn't watch this movie to go to the cinema and watch this movie.

A box office of 300 million is equivalent to the number of moviegoers. If the movie itself is of good quality, the word-of-mouth generated by these 10 million moviegoers may bring in a box office of 500 million or 800 million.

Watching the cashback amount grow, Yang Hao felt that he was the legendary Sword God of Shilipo. If he didn't show up, it would be fine, but when he did, he would shake the world.

"Haozi, there are two girls behind you. They are always secretly glancing at you, and they seem to be interested in you!" While they were chatting, Yang Zi suddenly teased Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, touched the back of his head, and looked behind him following the other party's teasing gaze.

Yang Zi might not know them, but Yang Hao recognized them at a glance. They were Wu Jinyan and Huang Mengying, juniors from the class of 09, one grade higher than Yang Hao and his friends.

Huang Mengying was not very popular later on. It seemed that she joined Yang Mi's Jiaxing Media, and was barely considered a third-tier artist.

Speaking of Wu Jinyan, Yang Hao still feels a little angry. In 2010, that was when he just traveled through time and became a freshman at Beijing Film Academy.

With the help of the time travel system, Yang Hao really thought that he was the son of the plane and was so awesome.

It was this kind of awesome mentality that made him decisively confess his feelings to Wu Jinyan and even wrote a love letter.

I vaguely remember that the love letter began with "Dear..."

Thinking back on it now, it's so embarrassing.

This kind of immature confession and awkward love letter will definitely end in rejection.

The other party didn't even give me the nice guy card, but rejected me directly without being tactful at all.

Why did he confess his love to Wu Jinyan? Of course, she was the most popular among the class of 09.

As for her many scandals and her diva-like behavior, Yang Hao didn't care.

It's just simple, I just want to have a two-hour romance, who cares about her future.

Isn’t there a saying that goes, when you are in a relationship, whoever cares about the other person’s past, has no past at all.

If it were a reborn person, it would be like falling in love. Who still cares about the other person's future? Who doesn't have a future?

After all, this is the entertainment industry. If we really take it seriously, we would line them up and drag every other one out to be shot. I guess there would be a lot of people who would slip through the net.

Yang Hao likes this kind of unhealthy trend in the entertainment industry. If everyone were a moral role model and a people's pacesetter, then what would be the point of the entertainment industry?

Yang Hao glanced over and met the other person's eyes. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Wu Jinyanhong and Huang Mengying both lowered their heads.

Celebrities who have not stepped out of the campus are more or less still innocent, and even a simple eye contact would make them seem a little shy.

From the other party's evasive eyes, Yang Hao understood that the other party seemed to have some interest in him.

It seems that I inadvertently spread the news that I made a lot of money by opening a shop, and achieved some results.

Sure enough, what Zha Tong said makes sense. Money is for women to look at, not to spend.

When you have no money, it is difficult to catch up with someone without spending money, but when the other party knows that you are rich, you can catch up with him/her without spending much money.
