51: I ran into Peng Yuyan. Brother, how long have you been training for this physique?

Holy crap.

This hero is... "The Incredible Hulk?..."

Hmm? Hearing this, Lin Pei narrowed his eyes.

When Lin Texian said earlier that being bulky would seriously affect one's temperament, he didn't have a particularly intuitive feeling.

Now, looking at Peng Yuyan's clear eyes atop his robust body, he understood.

Being bulky doesn't just make one look slow; it really does seriously affect one's temperament.

Not only does it affect temperament, it feels like one's IQ has been sucked away by the muscles.

Peng Yuyan is already like this despite being a full size smaller than him, so what kind of effect would he have?

Looking at Peng Yuyan, he felt like he was looking at a fellow sufferer.

"Mr. Peng Yuyan?"

"Hello, I'm not Hulk. My name is Lin Pei."

"Sorry, I didn't notice and bumped into you just now."

Peng Yuyan blinked.

Oh.

This brother indeed isn't green, and he's quite handsome.

It's just that these muscles are on par with Hulk's.

Damn.

Can these muscles really be built?

Even through the clothes, you can tell how big that bulk is.

This morning he was still feeling smug about his own beautiful muscles.

Now he looked at himself.

These abs... no good.

These pecs... not great.

These biceps... a bit small... he shook his head with every look.

This won't do.

Compared to this 'big brother' in front of him, who was actually quite a bit younger than he was, he was simply not qualified.

He worked hard for so long, and this is it?

He practiced hard for so many years in vain, only to be crushed in an instant.

He, who used to rely on his muscles and practically strutted sideways on the red carpet and always walked sideways on the street.

Now, after a light bump from this big brother in front of him.

He almost fell over.

His body curled inward, centered on a certain point.

Peng Yuyan crossed his arms.

He felt inferior... He looked at Lin Pei with infinite envy and longing.

"Big brother, how long have you been training this body?"

As expected of a fitness enthusiast, he asks that kind of question right away.

Lin Pei thought for a moment.

He couldn't exactly say that these muscles were built in a few minutes.

"Oh, I've been training for a few months."

Peng Yuyan's eyes widened even more.

What?!

You can build this in a few months?

Is this big brother bragging?

While doubting, he suddenly noticed something.

And that was that the big brother in front of him looked a bit familiar.

Who is it?

His brain jolted, and in a flash, he remembered.

Isn't this the person who went viral all over the internet because his acting was so realistic that he was taken away by the police several times?

The big brother just said his name is Lin Pei.

Right, that man's name is Lin Pei, no mistake.

When he saw the video online back then, although the big brother was well-defined, he definitely wasn't as buff as him.

!!!!

So, this big brother's body really is the result of only a few months of training!

Holy crap.

A god among men.

But he had practiced for many years, yet... Peng Yuyan's eyes, clear as a spring, suddenly grew moist.

Tears flowed down like a stream.

The heavens are unfair.

He murmured sadly, "Why do you treat me like this?"

Lin Pei was a bit puzzled.

He was fine just a moment ago, why did he suddenly start crying?

He looks quite sad.

What exactly made this man, who weighs less than two hundred pounds, shed tears?

"Mr. Peng Yuyan, are you okay?"

After a while, Peng Yuyan wiped away his tears.

He reached out and touched Lin Pei's upper arm muscles, unable to help but let out an exclamation of admiration.

"Holy crap."

This shape and thickness were something he could never achieve.

After finally calming down, he asked Lin Pei.

"Brother Lin, are you also here to see Director Lin?"

This was the preparation site for the studio shooting of the movie operation red sea.

It was also the place where Lin Texian auditioned actors.

Lin Pei smiled.

"Yeah, I'm here to audition."

Having received Lin Pei's confirmation, and considering that Lin Pei had trained himself into this state in a short time.

Peng Yuyan immediately guessed the role Lin Pei was auditioning for.

Great minds think alike.

Lin Pei must be like him, eyeing the role of the Asian Terrorist in the film.

Director Lin's films have guaranteed quality and reputation.

Hearing that he was going to film a new movie, Peng Yuyan thought he must strive to participate.

However, he had already signed for a new show and couldn't stay with this Film Crew for long, so he focused on a supporting role he was interested in.

Although he hadn't greeted Lin Texian in advance, he thought that with his excellent physical condition, he could easily land the role.

But he didn't expect... has the competition for a small supporting role become this intense now?

Looking at Lin Pei, then looking at himself.

How could he compete with Lin Pei?

The person in front of him, no matter how you look at it, is a born villain.

Even the muscles he was most proud of were crushed by him.

Can't compete.

Simply can't compete at all.

Lin Pei asked, "Mr. Peng Yuyan, are you also here to audition? Which role?"

Given Peng Yuyan's status, Lin Pei thought he must be playing the lead.

If everything was settled, they might film together later.

To his surprise, Peng Yuyan shook his head gloomily, looking like he was about to cry again.

"Don't mention it, Brother Lin."

"It seems I'm not up for this role."

"I've decided to give up."

"Brother Lin, do a good job, I have high hopes for you."

Peng Yuyan turned back the way he came and left after saying that.

Leaving Lin Pei completely bewildered.

A role that even Peng Yuyan feels he can't handle must be the male lead, right?

Maybe he backed out halfway because he knew Director Lin had approached Mr. Zhang Ze?

That makes sense.

Since Director Lin has already decided on Mr. Zhang Ze, he most likely won't change his mind.

Competing with Mr. Zhang Ze, who is a best actor, is indeed not an easy task.

But looking at Peng Yuyan's receding figure.

He thought that if Peng Yuyan didn't mind the status of the role, he could try for the Terrorist character.

His physique alone would beat ninety-nine percent of the auditionees.

He just needed to focus on practicing his gaze and adjusting his temperament.

Lin Pei shook his head; but Peng Yuyan probably wouldn't want to play a Terrorist role either, just like him, right?

What decent person would want to play a Terrorist?

...Lin Pei returned to his residence and squeezed through the small door of his rented room with difficulty.

In his "large" state, the room felt as cramped as a coffin.

He had saved up quite a bit of money recently, so it was time to move to a larger house.

While he was getting ready to look for a house online, his phone rang.

It was Director Zhang, who directed the whip sounds.

There was a hint of excitement in Director Zhang's voice.

"Lin Pei, first-hand news! Our the whip sounds has been shortlisted for the Shanghai Television Festival white magnolia award!"

"And you have also been nominated for Best Supporting Actor!"

Lin Pei was stunned.

He remembered.

While the gate of rebirth was being filmed, the whip sounds seemed to have been broadcast.

He was busy filming later and didn't pay much attention.

Oh.

No wonder more and more middle-aged women run away when they see him outside lately.

It turns out everyone was reliving his vicious image through the TV series.
