Chapter 31
Is this... Fan Wei?

【This corrupt official has a knack for saving money.】

【He bought a dilapidated unfinished building that even ghosts wouldn't go near.】

【He hid all his ill-gotten gains on the top floor.】

【He covered everything with plastic sheeting to waterproof and prevent moisture.】

【And he regularly fumigated it with mugwort to prevent insect infestation.】

【He guarded his money like his own son.】

【With this hidden method of saving money.】

【And his principle of taking bribes but not spending them.】

【This corrupt official, who rode a small electric scooter wherever he went.】

【Never once appeared on the investigative list of the oversight committee.】

A shadowy figure carrying a bag.

An abandoned building.

Stacks of neatly arranged cash.

A few cuts of scenes, piquing the curiosity of the onlookers.

"What is this? A movie?"

"Why is the Tianmu showing a movie?"

"Yeah, and why is it a movie about a corrupt official?"

As the video appeared.

The onlookers' curiosity was also piqued.

Could it be that Tianmu was going to crack down on corruption?

Just as everyone was curious.

The video showed Fan Wei riding his small electric scooter.

Then, the scene changed.

Fan Wei, dressed plainly, was praying with his hands clasped together under the umbrella of a secretary.

His expression was devout.

His demeanor was urgent.

He looked like a great philanthropist.

...

"Pfft!"

"What's going on? Is that Fan Wei?"

"Why is Fan Wei acting as a murderer?"

"With his acting, can he just not act in comedies?"

Seeing Fan Wei's face.

The onlookers all realized.

It turned out this was to showcase Fan Wei's acting skills.

But that's obviously not scientific!

Who is Fan Wei?

He's the kind of person who would buy you a crutch or a car and then thank you for it.

The impression he gives is also that of a comedic character.

Not to mention anything else, even in "The Great Song Inspector".

The role he played, a minor official who was dedicated to the people and had great ambitions.

He risked his life, and everyone's first reaction was that it was out of place, they wanted to laugh.

A corrupt official?

A murderer?

Are you kidding me!

...

The year 2006, in a different dimension.

Fan Wei's home.

Fan Wei's wife rushed into his study with a tablet in her hand.

"Lao Fan! Lao Fan! Look! You're on Tianmu!"

She yelled all the way in, pushing the door open and rushing inside.

"Hey, what are you yelling about?"

"Didn't you see I'm studying the script?"

"I don't steal, I don't rob, I'm loyal to my marriage, what would I be on Tianmu for?"

Turning his back to his wife.

Fan Wei's tone was impatient.

This wasn't because he was deliberately acting like the boss of the house just because he was the breadwinner of the family.

But when he was working, he would immerse himself in the script, studying the characters over and over again.

Therefore, once he was interrupted, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

As for Tianmu.

He hadn't even bothered to look at it.

He had been in the entertainment industry for so many years.

He wasn't unaware of the chaos in this circle.

It was like that before.

And it would definitely be like that in the future.

He was long tired of paying attention to this kind of gossip and scandal.

The most important thing was to stick to his own principles.

Therefore, he got married very early.

After having a family, he didn't feel that he had a higher status because he was the one bringing home the money.

After all, his wife had given up her own career for him.

She had taken care of the home properly all these years.

His son was filial.

He was also able to take care of his parents.

All of this was enough for him.

As for money, it was a necessity of life, but not a necessity for happiness.

So he wouldn't fall like Pan Changjiang.

He had the awareness of being an actor and an artist.

If there was anything he still couldn't let go of.

It was acting!

The New Year's Eve Gala stage was good and all.

But for actors, it was too short.

And the pressure was beyond ordinary.

He would meticulously examine every word, every movement.

Even then, he couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong on stage.

After all, he could guarantee himself, but he couldn't guarantee others.

If he didn't have any problems, but others did, that would be the same.

So he retired from the New Year's Eve Gala stage and became even more determined to transform.

Even though he had been recognized and had won awards.

But this shitty market, as soon as the audience saw him, they just wanted to laugh.

He had transformed several times, but he had to add comedic elements to his roles in order to be recognized.

"No, Lao Fan, look, it's your movie on Tianmu!"

After many years of companionship.

Fan Wei's wife knew what kind of person her husband was.

She laughed it off about his impatience and walked over with the tablet.

Fan Wei was stunned, "What movie?"

"Look."

She handed him the tablet.

On the official live TV channel, the Tianmu video commentary continued.

...

【What's even more exaggerated is that every time there were quality problems with the project.】

【He was always the first to stand up and shout for the punishment of corruption.】

【"If there's a problem, investigate the problem!"】

【"If there's corruption, punish the corrupt!"】

【"If I have any personal problems, the law will not spare me."】

【"And I will not spare myself."】

With a solemn oath.

With a righteous air.

In the video, the character Fan Wei looked like a good official who was speaking on behalf of the people.

Fan Wei's eyes lit up.

The audience was gradually drawn in.

However...

Swoop!

The next second, the video was switched away, and a new video appeared on Tianmu!
