Rebirth of the rich and wealthy

Ethan Scott was bound tightly to the chair by ropes, watching as blood flowed from his body. As his once tightly clenched fists loosened powerlessly... Was this it? No, he wasnt ready to die! Not in such a humiliating way, abandoned and betrayed by those closest to him. He didnt want to die.

Ethans eyes snapped open!

He panted heavily, his shirt drenched in sweat, his forehead and face covered in cold sweat. "Hello, room service," a knock came from the door. Ethan jolted awake, reflexively responding, "No need." The footsteps outside quickly faded away, and Ethan let out a sigh of relief. He couldnt believe he was alive.

Ethan looked around in disbelief. Not far away was a large bed with a variety of adult toys neatly arranged on the bedside table. He was leaning on the sofa with a bloodied ashtray at his feet, along with fruit and a water glass that had been accidentally knocked down. It was like a crime scene where an assault had failed. Ethan was stunned for a moment until he saw the thin contract papers on the coffee table. It was the day he was nineteen, meeting with an entertainment company executive here to sign a contract.

He remembered that day, filled with dreams of the entertainment industry, he found his way here according to the address sent by a talent scout via text message. When he saw the rooms layout, he sensitively felt something was off. And when the executive arrived, he indeed made advances towards Ethan. The implication was that his first step into the entertainment industry would have to start with learning the unspoken rules of the industry.

In his previous life, Ethan had a violent temper. Suppressing the urge to curse at the man, he grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it.

The executive, who had deceived many newcomers to the entertainment industry with the same speech, had never met anyone as fiercely resistant as Ethan. He could only leave with the signed contract, holding his bleeding head and cursing.

For a long time after, Ethan was constantly tormented by this executive at the company. It took him a year to realize that the company was known in the industry as a "wild chicken company", both for its non-standard registration and for its secret flesh trade under the guise of an entertainment company.

No, wait, did he really go back in time?

His memories stopped abruptly, and Ethan raised his hand to pinch himself, feeling the pain that jolted him awake.

Eagerly, Ethan struggled to climb up from the sofa, the fear and regret of hitting the executive replaced entirely by the joy of being reborn. He rushed into the bathroom and looked at his youthful face reflected in the smooth mirror.

That face gathered all the advantages of his parents, beautiful and bright, as if it was born to stand under the spotlights.

His mind was filled with a mess of images, all of which were his experiences before his rebirth... selfish relatives, cold lovers, and friends who stepped on him to get ahead... He remembered the strong resentment and anger before his death.

Ethans gaze gradually became cold.

Hes back... He has another chance to change the path of his future. He wont die alone and cold in a bar box again.

Ethan tidied up his slightly messy clothes, opened the bathroom door and walked out briskly, his expression much more relaxed, and even his pace quickened. He left the room with the contract in hand, thinking about how to avoid entering this wild chicken company again in this life.

If only he could be reborn a little earlier... Ethan sighed softly.

No, he was being greedy. It was a great fortune to be reborn, how could he expect more? It was enough now. As long as he was alive, he still had a chance to turn the tables!

Ethan walked down the corridor covered with red carpet, and the noise ahead gradually became louder.

Why would it be so noisy in the hotel? Ethan frowned.

"The stars nowadays really know how to put on airs, making so many people wait for her to come to the audition. Does she really think shes a diva?" A middle-aged woman with a cold face was scolding a young girl outside the room, "You were responsible for notifying her, and now I dont care if she can come or not, but today you must find an actor to fill in for me, dont let director Xu come to me with trouble."

The middle-aged woman went into the room after scolding, and the young girl, with a bitter face, took out her mobile phone to make a call.

Ethan approached and found that the corridor was blocked, and he realized that these rooms should have been taken over by a certain crew, and these people crowded in the corridor should all be actors coming to audition.

Ethan looked at them with emotion. In the entertainment industry, most actors are like these people, waiting early for the audition. He used to be one of them. And some artists, like the one the middle-aged woman said, are not very famous, but they have a bigger scene than anyone else, and in the end, they can only die by themselves.

"Excuse me..." Ethan reminded the actors in front of him.

The actor frowned a little discontentedly, "Do you want to cut in line?"

Ethan was choked for a moment and was about to explain when the young girl who was still on the phone suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Hey, sister, help me out!"

Ethans face changed, thinking why you were scolded to the dogs head, you dont have this insight! He turned around and stared at the young girl with a smirk, "Little sister, look clearly, you have to call me brother."

The young girls face flashed a trace of embarrassment, but her actions were not slow at all, pulling Ethan to pull into the room, "Oh, dont be angry with me, I saw that you are so good-looking, why not try the mirror?"

The actors behind were not very happy, "Why not try us who are waiting here, why grab a stranger to go in?"

The young girl put on a serious face and changed to a formal tone, "This role is special, not everyone can play it."

Other people wanted to say something, and the young girl had pulled Ethan into the room in a hurry.

"No matter whether you can act or not, pretend to be okay later, and I will definitely thank you after its over." The young girl grabbed his arm and begged to shake.

Ethan pointed to the people outside the door, "There are so many people waiting, why not find them?" In the entertainment industry, its robbing someone elses bowl to grab the opportunity to try the mirror.

The young girl stuffed a piece of paper into Ethans hand, "This role was originally asked by the popular star Lily Connolly to try."

Ethan glanced at the content written on the paper, which was about the setting of this role and the audition lines. He read it roughly and understood why the people outside couldnt do it.

This drama is adapted from the classic martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and what is written on the paper is the controversial role of Simon Phoenix in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In his previous life, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed by the well-known director Tom Stevens this year. This role was originally set for Lily Connolly in the entertainment industry. Lily Connolly was gorgeous, and Tom Stevens saw her acting as a flower girl, so she was asked to try out. Later, I dont know what happened, Lily Connolly suddenly disappeared. When "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast, it was replaced by a newcomer in Tom Stevenss company. After that newcomer played this role, he was criticized by many fans of Simon Phoenix for a long time.

But this did not hinder this costume drama with a martial arts skin to become a big hit. Tom Stevens made a lot of money through this play, and the actors who participated also became popular.

But if he remembers correctly, today is only the audition stage of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If Lily Connolly is destined to be replaced... Then he can try this role in a hurry? According to the original book, this role should be a male.

"Xiao Wang, have you found someone?" The middle-aged woman came out of the inner room and asked the young girl with a long face.

The young girl weakly pointed to the side of Ethan, "How about him?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Ethan up and down, her eyes brightened, "Come in first, Lily Connolly is not coming, there must be someone to fill in for director Xu to have a look."

The lines written on the paper are not many, Ethan put away the paper, and he has already firmly remembered it in his mind. He has performed a lot in his previous life, and he has summarized a set of fast-line memorization methods by himself, so now it is easy for him to remember these lines.

The middle-aged woman didnt expect this person who didnt know where to come from, and she could act seriously. At least she could calm down Xu Taos anger. She took Ethan to Xu Tao.

At this time, Xu Tao was still very young, and he had made a lot of money by shooting a few idol dramas before he was thirty years old. However, he was always busy with shooting, and he was always unshaven. Ethan saw this man sitting on the sofa, with hair and beard that could be knotted, and wearing thick black-framed glasses. He really couldnt associate him with the elegant and elegant director Xu who came later.

Seeing Ethan standing there in a daze, the middle-aged woman cursed "not on the road" in her heart and quickly pushed him, "What are you doing? This is director Xu."

Ethan came back to his senses and called out in a low voice, "Hello, director Xu."

Xu Taos frown was blocked by the messy bangs, and he asked the middle-aged woman next to him in a deep voice, "Isnt Lily Connolly a female star? Why bring a boy?"

The middle-aged woman went over and whispered a few words in Xu Taos ear. After listening, Xu Tao threw the script in his hand and lost his temper, "Since she is not coming, she doesnt have to come in the future." After that, Xu Tao looked at Ethan and said, "Then you, have you remembered the audition lines?"

Ethan nodded readily.

Xu Taos face softened a bit, "Then try it now."

Ethan returned the paper to the young girl who followed, took a deep breath, and walked to the middle of the room. For a moment, everyone in the room stopped moving and looked at him.
