Rebirth in Hengdian

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

Commercial shoot

According to the encyclopedia, Zhang Ruoyang is 24 years old this year. When he was first drafted, he was known as a lady killer.

　　Li Zixi looked at the photos in his encyclopedia page and had to admit that he was indeed very handsome. But it's not the handsomeness of a tough guy, but a little bit on the soft side, with white skin, and a very sunny smile. From the looks alone, she can score him 85 points, but the 15 points missed is because this look is not to her taste.

　　She watched a few TV series that he played in. The more she watched, the more she understood the reason for his popularity. It seems that no matter which world it is, a little *fresh meat becomes red because of the following reasons: good looks, good looks, and good looks.

[*fresh meat – young newcomer]

　　After all, this is a face-seeking world. So being good-looking is enough.

　　Acting, you say? If you don't look good, will anyone pay attention to your acting skills? This is an impetuous society, a *fast-food style society, and there are very few people who can *sink their hearts.

[*fast-food style – things come and go quickly]

[*sink their hearts – put heart at rest; calm and concentrate]

　　Of course, as we age, there are more and more hearts that can sink. To put it bluntly, that is, when you grow older, you slowly don't appreciate extravagant performances but prefer lasting and heart-wrenching acting.

　　Do you expect the current middle school students to pay attention to their acting skills and support them for it? Are you kidding me! While you blamed them, have you ever thought about whether you liked their performance when you were in middle school? If not, then please stop blaming, everyone needs to understand each other.

　　Some people have to say again, who didn't like their acting skills? I have always liked their acting skills before! Look at that so and so, isn't he acting well? But one may also ask, was he talented ten years ago? Ten years ago, he was just a little *traffic star, unable to bear the name of real acting skills.

[*traffic star – stars/celebrities that can attract viewers, patrons and such due to their popularity mainly by their good looks]

　　Today's traffic stars may not grow into seasoned actors after ten years. However, on the road to fame, if you don't take acting seriously, don't work hard, and don't take it to heart, then sorry, your fans will abandon you one day even with a decade of being silly and sweet *Jack Sue.

[*Jack Sue – male counterpart of Mary Sue]

　　Li Zixi turned off the computer and read the script again. She raised her head and inspected the entire study. The collection of books is very small, and the girlish style is mainly cozy. She nodded. Yes, she doesn't like reading very much, that's fine.

　　When she came out, Chen Pingping was still watching TV.

　　As soon as Li Zixi came out, Chen Pingping quickly put down her potato chips and said, "Xixi, someone came from upstairs just now. He brought this cake and said that he apologizes for disturbing your rest yesterday."

　　Li Zixi nodded and walked over. The chocolate cake looks good, makes her feel hungry. She didn't expect the residents upstairs to be quite thoughtful.
