Chapter 7 He's more special than you!

  Ximen Qing followed Ye Xing into a photography studio, and he looked up at the name of the studio. The words on it were still completely different from those in his life during the Song Dynasty, but they were simple and concise. After staring for half a day, Ximen Qing finally made out that the four big simplified characters read "Friendship Brothers".

  Yexing originally wanted to talk to Ximen Qing about some common knowledge of movies, but the words reached his lips and he forcibly suppressed them.

  Ye Xing was afraid. Facing this somewhat abnormal guy, he hadn't even finished explaining to him yet, but instead got confused by him.

  "Assistant Zhang, I have completed the task you assigned..."

  Accompanied by Ximen Qing into a studio office, Ye Xing found Zhang Yifeng and said with some trepidation.

  Zhang Yifeng is viewing the footage he shot over the past few days on his computer. His right hand holds the mouse, moving back and forth, apparently modifying some parts that he is not satisfied with.

  Zhang Yifeng is wearing a pair of black-framed glasses today, and he looks focused in his working state. The horizontal wrinkles on his face determine that he can't be a thin person. His hair is slightly long, covering his large earlobe. ——If it were just like this, Ximen Qing would still be able to look at him.

  But when Ximen Qing saw that he still had a few sparse whiskers under his mouth, Ximen Qing couldn't help but have an urge to go and kiss him.

  Because of this styling——

  It's too ugly! It's simply an insult to one's own eyes...

  Zhang Yifeng reached out to touch the cup of coffee beside the computer, took a light sip, and slightly turned his head to look at Ye Xing, also sweeping a glance at Xi Menqing.

  But when Zhang Yifeng's eyes swept across Ximen Qing's handsome face, he suddenly stared at Ximen Qing in a daze.

  This is easy to understand. Firstly, our Ximen Dafu is indeed a handsome guy. Secondly, even if Ximen Qing is not a handsome guy, his ancient costume and dressing will still make people's eyes light up and gaze at him for a long time.

  "He——"

  Zhang Yifeng stared at Ximen Qing in shock and asked Ye Xingdao.

  "He's the lead actor I found for you and the director, how is he? Handsome enough?"

  Leaf Star stopped at that point. Dare not to make any further inferences. Ximen Qing, this guy, is clearer than anyone else about himself. If the inference goes wrong and he gets burned by his own fire, it would be a loss, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

  Yexing thought, as long as he could pass the first hurdle, it would be fine.

  It was probably because Ye Xing was able to find such a handsome actor in less than a day, which was unexpected, or maybe it was for some other reason. Zhang Yifeng immediately stopped his work, stood up from the computer, and came to Xi Menqing's side, looking him up and down, left and right, almost making our Xi Men Da Guan look like a fool.

  "Good!" Zhang Yifeng finally said with satisfaction.

  However, Ximen Qing's next sentence made Zhang Yifeng's eyes widen in shock:

  "Brother, let's not talk about that for now. Xiaoke is really very hungry, and I hope brother can quickly get some food to eat."

  Zhang Yifeng and Ye Xing were both stunned at the same time.

  Zhang Yifeng was stunned for some reason, and it was unknown. But Ye Xing had already secretly called out several times that something was wrong.

  Soon, Zhang Yifeng looked at Ye Xing with a deep and complex meaning in his eyes:

  "Yexing, you take him out for a meal first. Then bring him back and I'll interview him."

  Ye Xing could only smile awkwardly. But since Assistant Zhang didn't have any clear attitude, Ye Xing let out a light sigh and quickly pulled Simen Qing away from Assistant Zhang's office, taking him to eat as instructed by Assistant Zhang.

  After dinner, Ye Xing still felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

  Ximen Qing walked into Zhang Yifeng's office again. Zhang Yifeng was already sitting upright on the sofa in his office. Seeing Ximen Qing come in, he patted the sofa and motioned for Ximen Qing to sit down. He also said to Ye Xing who followed behind:

  "You go out first."

  When Ye Xingguan pushed open Assistant Zhang's office door, sweat had already appeared on his palms and forehead.

  Ye Xing had already made up his mind to die. Standing outside the office, he paced back and forth, thinking of dozens of ways to respond to Zhang's assistant who was furious because Ye Xing had found a mental illness.

  Even the movements of the limbs and the expression settings are all thought out.

  Half an hour later.

  Creaking sound

  The door of Assistant Zhang's office opened. The first one who walked out was Zhang Yifeng, with a complex expression on his face, mainly painful.

  Ximen Qing followed behind him with a bewildered expression on his face.

  Seeing Zhang's assistant with such an expression, Ye Xing's heart suddenly tightened.

  "Xiao Ye, come here, come here..."

  Zhang Yifeng waved at Ye Xing while stroking his own forehead and temples. Apparently, he had also witnessed Xi Menqing's "abnormality".

  Ye Xing hastily put on a smile and walked in front of Zhang Yifeng, stiffly saying "heh heh"

  "......Hehe......I know......Assistant Zhang, this guy looks so handsome, should barely meet your satisfaction, right?"

  Zhang Yifeng shook his head and said briefly with a headache:

  No.

  Ye Xing immediately responded with a well-rehearsed phrase:

  “……Oh, haha……I thought he was already qualified just by looking so handsome. I didn't expect our company's requirements to be so high-quality. Now I finally understand why our company can become the industry leader!……Hehe”

  As for Ye Xing's flattery, Zhang Yifeng was still delighted to hear it. He couldn't help but smile slightly and look at Ye Xing:

  "Xiaoye, he said his name is 'Xi Menqing', and look at that outfit of his, and that hairstyle he's sporting, it's even more stylish than mine... Do you think there's something not quite right with him? Is he a bit... unusual?"

  Soulmate!

  Ye Xing was so excited that he almost high-fived Assistant Zhang. But in order to shirk his responsibility for finding an actor with a screw loose, Ye Xing pretended not to know and said:

  "Is that so? I'm really sorry, Assistant Zhang. It was my oversight. I just thought he dressed like this and had this hairstyle because he's a pretentious young artist, so I didn't examine him that closely. I'm really sorry, Assistant Zhang. I'll take him away now and try again to find an actor who not only looks handsome but also has a normal mind for the company!"

  Yexing said, and then hastily walked towards Ximen Qing. Hurriedly pulling Ximen Qing away from this place of trouble.

  "What do you want to do?"

  Just then, Zhang Yifeng suddenly flew into a rage. His voice was unpleasant.

  Ye Xing stared blankly, looking at Assistant Zhang, momentarily unclear about what was going on.

  "I said Xiaoye, how could you forget our company's star-making philosophy?"

  "Do you know what kind of people can be popular?……" Zhang Yifeng paused, then looked at Ximen Qing, "In today's society, there are plenty of good-looking guys, and they're all easily accessible. If the actors we're looking for just have a nice appearance, then where's our selling point? How can we stand out from the crowd?"

  Listening to Assistant Zhang's analysis, Ye Xing seemed to understand Assistant Zhang's intention, but thinking of Xi Menqing's abnormal nerves, he still asked with some concern:

  "... but didn't you say that he's a bit neurotic and gives people a weird feeling..."

  "This is the ultimate protagonist we've been looking for in our 'Number One Scholar' crew! His '2' is naturally perfect, without any artificial embellishment, it's so distinctive! I believe that if he acts, he'll definitely set the whole country ablaze!...... Little Ye, you've done a great job this time, I'll give you a raise tomorrow!"

  It's been a long time since Ye Xing had been in a dreamlike state...

  Ximen Qing, who was standing aside and listening, couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't fully understand the content of Zhang Yifeng and Ye Xing's conversation, he roughly got the gist of it.

  As long as there is money to be made, Ximen Qing can do anything. There was once a popular phrase on the internet "Look at the money, look at the thick profit" - isn't this also the philosophy of Ximen Qing when he did business back then?

  It seems that having just arrived in this future world, one's first pot of gold has been settled.

  －－

  "Assistant Zhang, what brings you here?"

  Just then, a handsome guy with a strong sense of style walked in from the door of the studio. He was probably around 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and fair skin. The first impression he gave people was that of a "white-faced young actor", or to put it more bluntly, a "pretty boy".

  His name is Zhou Liang. He's a rising star in the entertainment industry, and his popularity is increasing by the day. Logically speaking, he should be the one to play this role. However, the executive director of "The Number One Scholar" and his assistant are both eccentric and unconventional.

  "It's like this. We were preparing for you to star in our 'The Most Handsome Guy in History', but unfortunately, we found a suitable candidate today."

  Zhang Yifeng's tone was very calm. For ordinary people, dealing with stars requires respect and courtesy. However, there is a group of people who can point fingers at stars and ignore them, such as directors, producers, and the director's trusted assistants.

  Zhang Yifeng had already called Zhou Liang after finishing the interview with Ximen Qing.

  Talent scouts who can't find talented actors are prepared to let Zhou Liang act instead. After all, Zhou Liang's popularity among young boys and girls is obvious.

  Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin emerged from the half-killed crowd.

  For the drama "The Number One Scholar in History", Zhou Liang also wanted to act in it very much. Because this is a film and television production of Hua Xia's number one and two "Friendship Brothers", directed by a big director. For oneself, being able to climb higher and become more "red" is greatly beneficial and has a great driving effect!

  How many stars want to perform this?

  "What?!...” Zhou Liang's tone suddenly changed from the enthusiasm when he first entered the door to a strange one, and his temper was not good in front of Assistant Zhang. “...Assistant Zhang, can I know who you are looking for as the leading actor?”

  How he died was on whose body. Zhou Liang wanted to figure it out. He didn't want to die unclearly and unjustifiably like this.

  He.

  Zhang Yifeng's words were still calm and even somewhat cold. He pointed at Ximen Qing who had been listening quietly beside him.

  Zhou Liang looked at Ximen Qing. After glancing at Ximen Qing, Zhou Liang's eyes changed slightly. It had to be said that this guy was quite handsome, but:

  "Zhang assistant, 'The Most Handsome Man in History' only talks about one word 'handsome'. ... I'm much more handsome than him, why should he replace me?"

  Zhou Liang argued strongly for it, he didn't want to miss an opportunity that would make himself even more popular.

  "Because... he's more interesting than you... isn't that reason enough?"

  "This..." Zhou Liang was momentarily at a loss for words, but didn't know how to respond to Assistant Zhang's words.

  "Zhou Liang, if there's nothing else, you can leave. We're still very busy." Zhang Yifeng gave Zhou Liang the order to withdraw.

  Zhou Liang was so angry that he wanted to speak but also didn't want to offend Zhang Shu. He could only hold back his anger and turn to leave. But when he reached Ximen Qing's side, he couldn't help but stop and glare at Ximen Qing with a gloomy face.

  Ximen Qing saw that he was obviously envious, jealous and hateful, so he couldn't help but smile slightly at Zhou Liang. But this smile was so detestable to Zhou Liang, it was so humiliating!

  "Hmm!"

  Zhou Liang let out a cold snort and walked out of the photography studio.

  It wasn't until he walked out of the studio that he stopped again, turned his head and looked at Ximen Qing, but at this moment, his eyes were no longer sinister, but sinister...

  It's just that the corners of his mouth didn't curve up slightly to add a hint of warmth...

  PS: Ximen Qing shouted loudly: Those who collect this book are all very characteristic! More "characteristic" than this author!
