29: After the applause, the undercurrent continues

Thunderous applause echoed through the vast studio, lingering for a long time.

Director Zheng Guofeng tightly gripped Lin Da's hand, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement and admiration.

He had been in the film and television industry for decades, seen countless talented actors, but someone like Lin Da, so young yet capable of such profound understanding of a role and bringing it to life with such mastery, was truly a rare gem.

"Good! Good! Good!" Director Zheng Guofeng uttered three "goods" in succession, each word resonating clearly, "Lin Da, you did not disappoint me! Your Wei Zhongxian is solid!"

Teacher Chen, standing by, also clapped with a smile, his gaze towards Lin Da full of approval: "Little Lin, remarkable.

In that scene just now, your emotions, your rhythm, were all perfect.

It's no different from acting opposite a veteran.

I'm starting to look forward to our scenes together when we officially start filming."

To receive such high praise from the Best Actor was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for Lin Da.

"Thank you, Director Zheng, thank you, Teacher Chen," Lin Da bowed slightly, his tone humble, "It is all thanks to you teachers for giving me this opportunity, and it is the result of everyone's collective effort."

He did not become arrogant due to temporary success; this composure and calmness made the veteran actors present regard him even more highly.

Qin Ya also walked over, her face beaming with a joyful smile: "Teacher Lin Da, congratulations! Your performance conquered everyone!"

The surrounding staff also looked at Lin Da with admiration.

They knew that this unknown newcomer actor, relying on his unparalleled strength, had firmly established himself in "the chronicles of the great ming dynasty," a crew full of hidden talents.

Meanwhile, in the corner, Sun Hao and Zhang Yang's faces were extremely grim.

Sun Hao's lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.

His proud acting skills were simply not worth mentioning in front of Lin Da's "god-level" performance just now.

He knew that his previous petty actions now looked more like the clumsy performance of a clown.

Zhang Yang's face was also so somber that water could drip from it.

He had originally thought that with his backing and connections, securing the role of Wei Zhongxian was a sure thing.

Unexpectedly, Lin Da emerged, not only crushing him in acting but also possessing such a steady temperament.

He felt a real threat for the first time.

"Hmph, it's just good luck," Zhang Yang thought grudgingly, but the arrogance in his eyes had unconsciously receded a lot.

The applause gradually subsided, and Director Zheng Guofeng gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"Lin Da," he looked at Lin Da, his eyes full of anticipation, "The role of Wei Zhongxian is entirely entrusted to you.

I hope you can maintain this state today and bring us more surprises in the upcoming filming."

"I will do my best and live up to your expectations," Lin Da nodded solemnly.

Just then, a system prompt sounded in Lin Da's mind:

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for an excellent performance in a key scene, earning high recognition from the director and core creative team!

The second phase of the [Path of the Golden Supporting Actor] mission: 'Becoming Famous in the Capital', 'Obtain public praise from at least three core creative team members' objective has been completed (2/3)!"

"Ding! Host's prestige value has significantly increased, current prestige value: 1200 points."

"Ding! System store has unlocked new items: [Acting Enhancement Fluid (Intermediate)] x1 (limited-time offer), [Role Resonance Talisman (One-time)] x1."

A series of system prompts filled Lin Da with joy.

His prestige value had significantly increased, and the store had unlocked new good things.

Especially that "Role Resonance Talisman," which sounded extraordinary.

It seemed that speaking with strength was indeed the hard truth.

After the afternoon's filming ended, Lin Da politely declined Qin Ya's invitation for a celebratory drink.

He knew it wasn't time to relax yet.

There were still too many details of the Wei Zhongxian role that needed his refinement.

Upon returning to his hotel room, the first thing Lin Da did was to evenly distribute those 100 Acting Points to the "Body Language" and "Emotional Infectiousness" attributes.

He could feel that his body seemed more coordinated, and his control over emotions became more effortless.

He opened the system store and looked at the limited-time offer [Acting Enhancement Fluid (Intermediate)].

Although the price was steep, requiring a large amount of prestige value, he gritted his teeth and chose to exchange it.

He knew that to gain a foothold in this competitive capital, he had to constantly improve his strength.

Just as he was about to continue studying the script, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Zhou Xingxing.

"Lin Da! Lin Da! Guess what?" On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xingxing's voice was so excited it was almost distorted, "My... my script synopsis for '"salted fish turn over battle plan"' was... was noticed by the boss of a small film and television company!

He said... he said he's very interested in my idea and wants to meet me to talk!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Da also showed a genuine smile: "Xing Zai, I knew you could do it!

This is great news!

When are you going to talk?"

"It's... it's the day after tomorrow!

He said... he also said that if the talk goes well, maybe... maybe they will really invest in filming it!"

Zhou Xingxing's voice was choked with excitement.

"That's great! Xing Zai, seize the opportunity well!" Lin Da was sincerely happy for him, "Remember, be confident, and express your ideas boldly.

I believe in you!"

"Mm! Lin Da, I will definitely work hard!" Zhou Xingxing nodded heavily, "Oh right, Lin Da, how are things on your end?

Is the Wei Zhongxian role going smoothly?"

"Everything's going smoothly," Lin Da smiled, "I just finished a major scene today, and the feedback was quite good."

"I knew Lin Da, when you take action, you're worth two!" Zhou Xingxing chuckled, "Lin Da, wait for my good news!

Maybe, in the future, our brothers can even film together in the capital!"

"I'm waiting for that day," Lin Da's eyes were also filled with anticipation.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Da's heart remained restless for a long time.

Zhou Xingxing's progress made him feel relieved and further strengthened his own beliefs.

The winds of change in the capital had just begun.

After the applause, the undercurrents still did not cease.

He knew that Sun Hao and Zhang Yang and their ilk would never just let it go.

But so what?

When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth.

Since he, Lin Da, had come, he had no intention of backing down easily!

He would write his own legend in this capital, with one vivid golden supporting role after another!
