BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch10 - The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills (10)

Why he chose him?

Xu Qichen looked into Chen Anping’s eyes and did not speak. 6IFoAK

Chen Anping continued with a smile: “People who have been in the acting circle for a long time can drive all sorts of strange characters; that’s their ability. But they pretty much can’t act out the sentiment, awkwardness, and sensitivity of youth. Because the more experience a person has, the more difficult it is for them to return to the basics. Even if it’s just acting, some uncontrollable pretentious airs will appear. That’s why, if you look at some of the successful youth films, the main characters are always new to the circle.”

He leant back against the sofa. “After I went back, I looked at every one of the audition candidates’ videos again. Many of them were better at acting than you, but you were the only one who displayed the kind of  feeling Yu Ning should have at that age.”

As he spoke he suddenly laughed, “Especially when you acted in that scene with Lin Ran, there was a nervous and unsettled feeling that was so realistic that I even started to suspect if you two really had some kind of a relationship.”

Xu Qichen smiled awkwardly. “That was the first time we met.” 26Eng1

“Kidding.” Chen Anping withdrew his smile. “When I saw that scene, I had more or less made a decision in my heart. What’s more, that guy Lin Ran even told me later…”

Xu Qichen asked hesitantly: “What?”

Chen Anping seemed to recall something. He shook his head. “Nothing special. Anyway after the audition I thought it should be you. But there’s something I found to be strange. I went to look for a lot of the dramas and films you’ve shot before. Honestly, they were all terrible, completely different from the feeling you gave off at the audition. I want to ask you, what on earth did you experience that suddenly enlightened you?”

A string of ellipses appeared in Xu Qichen’s mind…

Because they’re completely different people ah.

“Actually… I don’t know either…”

Chen Anping watched Xu Qichen with his usual sharp gaze for a long while, but in the end he accepted his vague explanation. “Whatever. I called you for a chat mainly for you to relax, the reason you can act as Yu Ning is not because of any external factors, but because you’re the most suitable person for this role. So just maintain your current state, treat Yu Ning as yourself, and act properly, understood?”

So it’s like that. xP7O b

Xu Qichen, who has always followed where fate led, felt the joy of affirmation for the first time.

He nodded seriously.

Although his image matched with Yu Ning, his hair was still somewhat unsuitable. Upon entering the set, the director called someone to trim his hair, making him look even younger. In addition to his features, which carried a kind of naturally childish air, and his skin, which was fairer than most girls’, although he was already 23, acting like an 18-year-old boy was not difficult at all.

Xu Qichen was busy the entire day and only returned to the hotel to rest at night. Although he has entered the crew, he could not find an opportunity to speak with Lin Ran at all. It’s a little depressing. With this rate of progress, when would he be able to complete the task? Wfa2TD

After showering, he sat on the bed and stared at the wall. Xu Qichen recalled that Bai Yi’s OST was to be released today. As his group mate, he should help with the publicity, so he opened Weibo, quickly reposted Bai Yi’s new post, and even left a small heart in the comments.

Soon, his comment was picked out by eagle-eyed fans.

Xu Qichen really enjoys reading comments.

[ Glowing brightly ] Look what I found! I caught a live! wLDhTQ

[ Daydreamer ]: Even my unpopular Daydream CP also has a day when it scatters sugar!

[mengmeng is the best]: Even when he’s being bloodied on the hot search, our Mengmeng can still advertise for Baiyu, he’s really the natural meng among mengs…

[I’m Ji Mengze’s wife]: Is the group not taking action? Ji Mengze’s plaza has been slaughtered, what are you doing!?

[Has Ji Mengze sold meng today]: Calm down meng family, this is not the place to fight… Zi6o53

Not only that, but [Ji Mengze Lin Ran], [Ji Mengze Nan Ke], and [Ji Mengze casted as Yu Ning] were also on the top ten list.

Qjr la atf boolmlji jccbecmfwfca?

Xu Qichen tapped on the first hot search. What he saw was not Nan Ke crew’s official Weibo, but several photographs of the opening ceremony from marketing accounts.

Every photo was blurry. One could barely make out the lead actors’ silhouettes. 6xMvhn

[The Moon is Beautiful]: Were the paparazzi stepping on sewing machines while photographing? Not a fan, first time I got Ji Mengze’s looks. Even high blur can’t block his beauty ah.

[extra adorable]: Fuck! It’s Ji Mengze!! Ji Mengze and Lin Ran?? Really? Someone pinch me awake!

[Mango Snow Ice]: What’s the use of being good-looking, with Ji Mengze’s acting skills how can he have the face to stand in the same set as film emperor tier people like Lin Ran, and even act in the same scenes? It’ll be a public execution ah.

[Watermelon Watermelon]: Purely passerby. I’ve always enjoyed Director Chen’s films, but now even Director Chen is catering to the market, very disappointed. oAWpbq

[ Steaming cloud dreams ]: Certain fans should stop acting as passersby. Director Chen has always been very strict with character selection, since he’s decided on Ji Mengze, he must have his reasons. Don’t start some ‘Director Chen is sinking’ discussion here, how big is your face?

[Dawn wind, waning moon]: I’m not surprised that Lin Ran would act in a film with this theme. What surprises me is Ji Mengze, as a traffic, acting in a homosexual film?!! Dare not imagine.

…

Xu Qichen didn’t continue to scroll down. His fans were working hard on controlling the comments, but he knew, from the point of view of a passerby, no one wanted to see the fans’ comments. lTDm3

‘Whatever.’ From the day he chose to work for this role, he’s had this kind of attitude.

0901: “Mr. Xu, if you are unhappy, I would suggest not using Weibo for the time being.”

Xu Qichen: “No ah, I’m not unhappy. The one they’re scolding isn’t even me.”

0901: “… What you said also makes sense.” b0Nwd9

The events on Weibo were indeed very depressing if one looked from Ji Mengze’s point of view. But he can’t do that. Behind these comments, there’s a hand fanning the flames. To ensure the smooth completion of his main task, he must dig out a deeper level of information from these comments.

Just when he was feeling a little hungry and considering going out to eat, the room’s doorbell rang. Xu Qichen put down his phone and opened the door to see Zhang Xiaoxiao carrying two large bags.

“Mengze-ge, I got takeaway for you!”

Xu Qichen hurriedly took the bags, happiness blooming in his heart. “I just happened to be hungry! Come in, let’s eat together.” oQ68fy

Zhang Xiaoxiao shook his head. “I already ate. You should eat more, Mengze-ge. I still have things to do, I’ll be going.”

This assistant, it’s like she’s stepping on Hot Wheels. She leaves as quickly as he comes.

Xu Qichen opened the takeaway bag and the fragrance immediately surrounded him.

En, it’s an angel on Hot Wheels. IjRBg2

In the takeaway box were large quantities of deep fried chicken, french fries, hamburgers etc., all the junk food that Xu Qichen likes to eat.

When he wrote Ji Mengze, he based his food preferences on himself. Looking back, it seems like a very wise decision.

With a chicken wing in his left hand and a cola in his right, Xu Qichen cleanly forgot about all the drama on Weibo.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, the doorbell rang again. 6fAXQa

Is Zhang Xiaoxiao back?

Xu Qichen put down the food in his hands and searched for his slippers for half a day. He could find only one, so he simply didn’t wear any, and opened the door barefooted.

The instant the door opened, what Lin Ran saw was a Xu Qichen with wet hair, bare feet, a stuffed mouth, and a pair of wide eyes.

Xu Qichen saw Lin Ran and subconsciously tried to close the door, but the other party squeezed in first. 2O5qyM

“Hey, hey, for better or for worse we’re colleagues now, no one treats guests like you ba.”

Xu Qichen realised that he indeed should not have tried to close the door, but his brain was still a mess and he didn’t know what to say.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

In Lin Ran’s eyes, this look was not only funny but adorable too.

“You’re eating.” eoZavJ

Xu Qichen nodded, put in effort to swallow what he was eating and asked, “Want to eat together?”

Those were just polite words, but the other party didn’t hesitate for even half a second. “Sure ya.”

0901: “Mr. Xu, this is a rare opportunity, cherish it.”

A pair of single men, alone in a room. reZDx3

This scene is really full of crispy duck literature aesthetics.

0901: “Mr. Xu, this has always been a scene from a crispy duck literature, plus, it’s your crispy duck literature.”

Xu Qichen: … So you also had a hidden retort function.

Lin Ran ate the fries while watching the hotel’s TV without any of the grace a celebrity should have. Seeing his natural behaviour, Xu Qichen also relaxed his vigilance and sat down. He spent half a day picking at the takeaway box and finally chose a piece of chicken thigh, but just as he was putting it in his mouth, he heard Lin Ran say: “They just made the official announcement o.” 4f1r7W

He said it so lightly, but Xu Qichen nearly bit his tongue.

“So- so fast?”

Lin Ran tilted his head to look at him with a smile. “Why, you feel you didn’t get scolded enough?”

Although the official announcement isn’t a big deal, to Ji Mengze’s fans, it’s a reassuring pill, and to the melon-eating audience, it’s a conclusive statement. In addition, choosing to make the announcement at this time also shows that the crew intends to protect its cast. Dx4f0X

However, Xu Qichen didn’t really care much. He bit on his chicken thigh. “Anyway I’ll still get scolded after the announcement. It’s fine once you’ve gotten used to it.”

Lin Ran was surprised. “I always see your fans online saying you’re a Buddha-class idol, and used to think it was just a created public image.”

Xu Qichen forced a smile. “Can this also be considered a good public image?” He picked up the cola he’d put aside earlier and took a sip. “However, there’s really no point in getting anxious over this kind of situation. The netizens are just watching the latest excitement, once a new hotspot appears, they’ll quickly forget about this.”

“It’s not that simple.” TSEQmG

Lin Ran had already finished a packet of fries. His throat felt dry but his hands were oily so he didn’t want to touch anything. His gaze fell on the drink in Xu Qichen’s hands, so he bent down, stretched his head over, bit down on the straw in the cola cup, sucked in a big mouthful of the drink, then sat up, satisfied.

Xu Qichen was stunned by the sudden movement.

Half a day later, he said stutteringly: “That is- I drank that before.”

Lin Ran nodded seriously. “I know ah.” AFhye6

Then he let out an innocent smile.

“Didn’t you also drink from my cup a few days ago?”

Saying that, he simply took the cup from Xu Qichen’s hands, bit the straw, and drank all the remaining cola. He held Xu Qichen’s gaze calmly, then moved closer little by little.

Until he nearly touched Xu Qichen’s nose. jhnAOC
