Chapter 8 Female Lead - Touching Breasts?

  For Ximen Qing, he probably didn't even know himself that he had unknowingly offended two big shots. One was the precious son of the municipal party secretary who could cover the sky with one hand in City B. The other was a rising star in the entertainment circle who had already made a name for himself and was thriving.

  One has power, one has money.

  These two things, even in the dynasty when Ximen Qing lived, were not something that everyone dared to touch.

  After Zhou Liang left the studio, Zhang Yifeng smiled at Ximen Qing, and his already chubby face looked even more plump. He said:

  "In a moment, we'll sign a contract. The crew of 'The Most Handsome Man in History' formally invites you to play the leading role. In other words, from today on, you are our male lead."

  "It doesn't matter if it's a man or not, as long as they can give me food to eat. I'm extremely grateful! Ximen Qing came here with a very simple purpose, which is to never let his stomach go hungry again."

  What's the difference between being a male prostitute or not, as long as he gets to eat, even if it means playing the role of a male prostitute, Ximen Qing would unhesitatingly agree.

  "But then again, hearing you call yourself 'Ximen Qing', this... might not be good for you..."

  For Ximen Qing's words, after the interview in the office just now, Zhang Yifeng has already adapted to it. Even if Ximen Qing says something out of line again, he will think it is reasonable and justified.

  Upon hearing Zhang's words, Ximen Qing couldn't help but furrow his brow, a hint of puzzlement flashing in his eyes. He tilted his head and asked Zhang,

  "Assistant Zhang, what's wrong with Xiaoke's name? …..." When in the office, Zhang Yifeng would let Ximen Qing call himself Assistant Zhang or Assistant.

  "Haha, the assistant must be... kidding me. Who has their own name being bad for themselves?" As he spoke, Ximen Qing also intentionally or unintentionally made his words sound similar to those of people in the future world, so as not to appear out of place.

  In Ximen Qing's view, what kind of meaning could Zhang Shouli have besides making fun of himself?

  Isn't it funny that saying one's own name has a bad influence on oneself?

  Of course, our Ximen Dafu doesn't know that in today's society, some people's names have a bad influence on themselves, such as Lai Yuejing, Yang Wei, and even Yang Dawei...

  When Ximen Qing asked like this, Zhang Yifeng thought that Ximen Qing's brain should have some real problems, or his name was really called "Ximen Qing", just coincidentally sharing the same name as the historical lecher - but such a possibility is almost zero. Ximen Qing's reputation is so great, how could this guy's parents not know? - To take a name that is the same as that of a historical lecher, what kind of courage would that require?

  Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but slightly shake his head, every coin has two sides. A handsome guy like Ximen Qing can indeed make a good first impression. But it would also lead to him being annoying when talking to him. —— This is easy to understand, just look at the painful expression on Ye Xing's face when he saw him walking out of the office earlier...

  "It's like this. You're starring as our male lead, with the influence of 'Friendship Brothers' film and television company in the industry, as well as its popularity in society, you'll definitely be an overnight sensation. At that time, you'll naturally become a sought-after new star, and your identity will no longer be what it is now, but a very famous public figure. As a public figure, not only must your image be good, but other aspects must also be good, such as... your name?"

  Oh no!

  Assistant said a lot, but it was all just throwing bricks to attract jade and wild talk. However, he still didn't grasp the key point of this matter and ultimately failed to get to the main topic.

  Because our Ximen Dafu still has that very owed and puzzled expression

  "What's in a name? Still my name!... What's wrong with being called Ximen Qing?"

  Ximen Qing was somewhat depressed. As the saying goes, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Even if it's your own name, you can't just talk about it recklessly and make fun of it like that!

  "Is this guy still human? ……" Zhang's assistant almost cried, "Could it be that he is the unparalleled pure-hearted man who doesn't know Ximen Qing?"

  Zhang's assistant was torn in his heart...

  In Zhang Yifeng's view, as a child of the Chinese nation, who doesn't know Ximen Qing, and which lady doesn't know about Pan Jinlian?

  I'm afraid it's probably only kindergarten boys and girls who don't know about these two infamous sex toys.

  "It's like this." Zhang Yifeng slightly raised his hand, and in his not-too-large eyes was a deeply helpless expression. "This 'Ximen Qing' is not a good thing... If you are..."

  "You're not a good thing at all!"

  Ximen Qing immediately got angry.

  Is there such a thing as scolding someone in person?

  How despicable!

  "What I'm saying, of course, isn't about you...I'm talking about another scoundrel with the same name and surname as yours." Seeing Ximen Qing still looking furious, Zhang Yifeng added, "Don't get me wrong, the Ximen Qing I'm talking about has been dead for over a thousand years, he was the one who lived during the Northern Song Dynasty!"

  How hateful!

  Ximen Qing was initially furious when he heard Zhang's first sentence, which seemed to be cursing another guy with the same name and surname as him. However, unfortunately, he added another sentence afterwards.

  It can be imagined how much pain Ximen Qing had in his heart. His anger also rose sharply.

  But just as Ximen Qing was about to explode in anger, he suddenly restrained himself:

  "...I had forgotten, I somehow ended up in a future world...And this guy keeps saying that Ximen Qing is actually myself!...Damn it, I still can't escape being scolded by him..."

  Having understood the cause and effect, Ximen Qing also felt that Zhang's scolding of himself was justified.

  "Assistant Zhang, I understand. There was indeed a notorious historical figure by the name of 'Ximen Qing', and I just happen to share the same name and surname as him... You say this is not good, are you suggesting that I should change my name?"

  Ximen Qing is also a wise and intelligent person. Once he understood the cause and effect, other doubts were easily resolved for him.

  At the same time, Ximen Qing had secretly rejoiced in his heart:

  "Wow, Laozi's reputation is so great! Haha...!"

  It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. Similarly, whether it's a good name or a bad name, as long as it's famous, that's a celebrity!

  Ximen Qing still quite enjoys the feeling of being a celebrity... this feeling is great!

  "Yes, to become famous, first change your name. Look at those big shots, which one isn't a great name? Jackie Chan, destined not to be an insect. Jet Li, destined not to be stinky shit... look, so many examples of big star cases, if you want to become a big star like them, you can't keep using this name."

  "No way! My name was given by my father and entrusted to my mother. As a son, I, Ximen Qing, will absolutely not change a single character of my own name, even if it means not letting me act in this film or television drama, I won't change my name!" In fact, when saying this, our Ximen Da Guan Ren was feeling guilty, if Zhang Assistant really said that if you don't change your name, you can't act, then our Ximen Da Guan Ren would still consider it carefully, after all, it's a matter of whether one's belly is satisfied or not... "I was born as Ximen Qing, I will die as Ximen Qing, I won't change my name when walking, nor will I change my surname when sitting!"

  Seeing Ximen Qing's last sentence was so determined, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed and deeply annoyed. You know, which newcomer isn't thinking of asking for a good reputation? This guy is good, he does the opposite, insisting on being called "Ximen Qing".

  What a sin!

  "Assistant Zhang, I think... if he debuts with this stage name 'Ximen Qing', it won't be too bad..."

  Seeing Ximen Qing and Zhang Yifeng at an impasse, Ye Xing, who was standing on the side, chuckled and interjected.

  "Oh?" Zhang's assistant turned his head towards Ye Xing, with an anxious expression eager to know the reason.

  Even Ximen Qing couldn't help but glance at Ye Xing, although this guy had scolded him before, but fortunately also introduced a job that didn't starve himself to death, and now was also speaking up for him.

  "...I personally think that if you want to be famous, you have to do something extraordinary. Even if it's bad for yourself, you still have to do it, otherwise, where will the sensational topics come from?"

  "Look at those popular young actresses now, exposing their chests and touching their breasts. Which of these things is good for them? Yet they've become famous overnight because of this. It's only because of these things that the media has something to report on. With reporting topics, it's hard not to be famous in this media age!"

  By this point, Zhang Yifeng's eyes had already begun to shine with excitement. It was clear that Ye Xing's analysis was not only thorough but also made perfect sense.

  "If he debuts with the name 'Ximen Qing', it will definitely explode in the media! Think about it, Ximen Qing this big lecher, just seeing this name will make people interested at first sight! So, if he debuts with the name 'Ximen Qing', he will definitely instantly kill the whole Huaxia country."

  Ye Xing almost blurted out all his conjectures. But the last sentence made Ximen Qing, who had been listening with a self-satisfied smile, suddenly feel an urge to grit his teeth...

  "I really couldn't tell, but you're actually quite insightful in this regard!"

  Zhang Yifeng showed a very appreciative expression towards Ye Xinglu.

  Ye Xing smiled humbly, looking very modest. ——This is great, not only can he keep his own rice bowl, but also unexpectedly gained the appreciation of Assistant Zhang, life, why are you so abnormal?

  "Good, you can make your debut under the name 'Ximen Qing'!"

  Zhang Yifeng sternly said to Ximen Qing.

  "It's not that I'm called 'Ximen Qing', I'm actually called 'Ximen Qing'! It's as if I'm really called 'Ximen Qing'!"

  “……”

  －

  After discussing with Ximen Qing, Zhang Yifeng took out his Samsung mobile phone and dialed a number on the keypad.

  "The director, the male lead has been found. Sign a contract with him... Hmm, I've checked and analyzed carefully, absolutely suitable for our "The Most Handsome Man in History" male lead role... Okay, I'll call the female lead actress now."

  He hung up the phone and Zhang Yifeng tapped on the keyboard again, finding another phone number to dial.

  "Hey, Assistant Zhang, are we going to start up?"

  Ximen Qing had been curious about Zhang Yifeng's mobile phone all along. Now, he suddenly heard a string of soft but sweet voices coming from the phone, and his attention was immediately diverted to this voice.

  Because

  This is a woman's voice.

  If judged by voice alone, it should be a beautiful woman's voice.

  And our Master Ximen has an irresistible attraction to beautiful women from birth.

  "Yes, Miss Liu Jingcheng, we've found our male lead. We're starting tomorrow, so get ready and come over tomorrow."

  "Wow, is that true, Assistant Zhang? He's incredibly handsome! If he's more handsome than Andy Lau, I can go over there tonight... Hehe... Of course, even if he's the most handsome, he still can't compare to our Assistant Zhang's handsomeness... Haha..."

  Upon hearing this sweet and lovely voice utter such words, Ximen Qing's amorous feelings also began to stir...

  "Haha, no need to mention how handsome he is. Ms. Liu, that's all for now, I still have things to attend to and also need to sign a contract with our male lead. You remember to come over tomorrow."

  It can be heard that Zhang Yifeng is also delighted to hear flattering words.

  "Alright, see you tomorrow, assistant."

  The other party finally did it neatly and efficiently.

  "What's her name? Liu Jincheng? What does she do?"

  For women, Ximen Qing has a natural research. —— However, this sentence sounds like nonsense to Zhang Yifeng and Ye Xing: Let her come over and act, what can she do?

  Zhang Yifeng was in a good mood and glanced at Ximen Qing, but instead of giving him a direct answer, he said:

  "She's coming over tomorrow, our female lead. You'll know when the time comes."

  Zhang Yifeng said, and then walked towards the office, to give Ximen Qing this troupe's performance contract.

  "As far as I know, this Liu Qingcheng used to be a model...". Ye Xing couldn't bear to look at Xi Menqing's face full of anticipation for the answer.

  "Breast model? ... Or did he say it wrong, is it 'touch breast'?"

  Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and couldn't help but think.

  P.S: Ximen Qing rolled his eyes again, and couldn't help but think: Such a great book, I'd better put it on the bookshelf [collect]! Wow wow wow wow~~~~~~~
