Chapter 117 – Fairy Idol
Liu Wei froze for a moment. He turned his head, looking to the left and then the right. He had an inkling, but he didn’t dare to express it outwardly.
“I’m asking you. Why have you been staring at me all this time? Are you an on-site staff member or are you someone’s assistant?” Zhang Qiongzi voice was deep and hoarse. It had a special charm to it.
How could a young man who had just graduated survive such a scene? Liu Wei’s face immediately turned red, and he shuffled two steps forward, but he didn’t dare to look at Zhang Qiongzi’s face, as if just looking at his goddess would defile her.
Liu Wei could only lower his head and stammer out a response: “I… I am Qiu Jin’s assistant.”
Zhang Qiongzi then asked, “Do you want a signature?”

Liu Wei raised his head immediately. His eyes were wide with disbelief. “Re- really?”
Thirty seconds later, he was cupped a freshly signed signature in both hands while trembling in place.
“Wu wu wu, I got my goddess’s signature. I’m so fortunate to work for Qiu Jin!”
[T/N: wu wu wu – Chinese onomatopoeia for crying]
“This is all you amount to.” Yang Chi nudged Liu Wei over the head as he enumerated the young man’s shortcoming.
Liu Wei felt very aggrieved. “I’ve never even seen it before, okay?”
What he said was indeed true. Liu Wei has been following Qiu Jin ever since he graduated. Qiu Jin didn’t have enough resources before, and he also stopped working for several months. So how could he have gotten access to such top-level resources before?
When Liu Wei first entered the entertainment circle, he naively thought that he would be able to see all the celebrities he wanted. It was not until later that he discovered that the entertainment circle was divided into levels. Even if he entered the entertainment circle, the big shots were still big shots, and he was only a small shrimp.
But now…
As time went by, more and more actors arrived, Film Emperor, top performers, beautiful up-and-coming actors, all kinds of senior actors… the dressing room was nearly filmed to max capacity.

Liu Wei looked at Qiu Jin. The makeup artist had just finished doing his makeup. Excitement gurgled through Liu Wei’s veins. His boss would definitely become more and more amazing in the future!
At three o’clock in the afternoon, the launch conference for the “Rise and Fall of the World” officially began. The director, main creative staff, and leading actors were invited to the stage one by one.
After a long wait, Qiu Jin finally heard the host call out: “Next, Qiu Jin, who plays Ji He, will come on stage.”
Qiu Jin’s heart picked up speed. HE took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. All eyes were on him.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast of the conference were stunned. How could Qiu Jin look so good in ancient Chinese clothes?!
The young man on screen had a handsome face. He wore a loose long gown with his long black hair pulled behind his head and held in place by a hairpin. He looked very gentle. What was even more astonishing was the indifference and alienation in his eyes. It was as if Ji He had come alive in front of them.
At that moment, a senior member’s comment appeared on the bullet screen*.

– I’m going to speak my mind. I think Qiu Jin looks the best out of the entire cast. Is there something wrong with me? –
There was a brief silence in the live broadcast room, and then a bunch of comments appeared on the bullet screen. There were things like don’t drag anybody, don’t fight in the comments, and please watch the live broadcast seriously.
But miraculous, no one refuted the first comment.
If you were just looking at their faces, the male actors Qiu Jin, Xiang Xi, and Jiang Ming were all handsome in their own way. After all, aesthetics was a relatively subjective thing. Some people liked radishes and some people liked cabbages, so it was hard to say that one was superior to another.
But Qiu Jin was exhibiting an outstanding temperament, which perfectly aligned with Ji He’s character image.
When the other actors came on stage, they were all in ancient Chinese costumes too, but they were evidently still themselves.

But Qiu Jin was different. He came on stage as his character. Standing there before the cameras, he seemed to have completely transformed into Ji He. It was so realistic that it was as if someone from ancient times had time traveled to the present.
Qiu Jin’s fans could finally puff out their chests and blow off steam.
– Who said gege was highly photoshopped, huh? This is live. Here is the truth! –
– I’m just a passerby here, but this image really takes the cake. He’s still so good looking despite the blurriness. –
– Heh, who knows if this is a really a live image? Although you can’t tell that the skin has been smoothed out [by photoshop]… but can you really guarantee that he has not fixed up his face? –
– You must be jealous to death. Is it so difficult to admit that he is good-looking? –
– Who is jealous? I’m just saying it as it is. Maybe he just came back from plastic surgery! –
– Scram, you hater. Hey host, can you blacklist such rumors? –
– Stop fighting, the official image of Visual China is here! –
– Hot damn, is it that Visual China that I’ve heard of? –
– Did the website edit the picture for Qiu Jin?! He look’s way too good! –
– I love it. I love it. What a fairy-like face, ah. Even when viewed through the lens of a Visual China photographer, he is still so handsome that he shines. –
– I’m a newcomer here, what is this Visual China, huh? –
