Chapter 118 – Fairy Idol
Visual China was a website that celebrity fans both loved and hated. No matter how beautiful or handsome the celebrity was their attractiveness index would plummet by several degrees when viewed through the lens of a Visual China photographer.
However, Qiu Jin resisted this curse. There was hardly a single flaw to his pictures on the official website.
He looked so good live!!
His public appearance this time allowed him to completely break away from his dark history and turn things around.

The host for the press conference was also taken aback by Qiu Jin’s face, but quickly recovered his professionalism and greeted him with a smile. “I heard that you’re not only acting as Ji He, but also as his twin sister, Ji Yao, is that right?”
“Correct. Ji Yao is also me.”
“The most beautiful woman in the world.”
“Not at all, you flatter me, I’m just a prop for her.”
A burst of laughter followed this good-natured teasing.
The joke was memorable and had meme potential.
This was quite a rare talent.
Even the host was surprised for a moment. They usually met all kinds of guests on stage. Some guests were talkative, and they talked freely as soon as they come on stage. In order to control the time, the host had to interrupt them frequently. There were also some guests who were as boring as a log, and would only answer what was asked, making the atmosphere extremely awkward.

Qiu Jin’s type was uncommon. He was modest and humorous, but didn’t talk nonsense. All hosts liked to interview guests like Qiu Jin. For the moment, the host looked at Qiu Jin more appreciatively.
In the following interview, the host and Qiu Jin went back and forth, making the audience laugh out loud.
Host: “I heard from the director that you’re able to portray a very lifelike female character. How can you act so well?”
Qiu Jin: “Perhaps it’s because there’s a little fairy living in every boy’s heart.”
Host: “Do you have any techniques that you can share with us?”
Qiu Jin thought for a while and then said seriously: “It may be because I have observed many girls before, but I don’t recommend that everyone follow my method.”
Host: “Why is that?”
“Because the people around you won’t be able to handle it,” Qiu Jin said solemnly, “Last time, my manager came to my hose and saw pictures of girls hanging in my room. He thought I had become a pervert.”
The audience all laughed at his words.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast couldn’t stop laughing.
– Hahahahaha, he is so good at talking! –
– Oh my god, I’m getting stitches from laughing so hard. Why didn’t I know that Qiu Jin was so meme-able before? –
– No wonder I saw a handsome guy following me the other day. Turns out it was Qiu Jin!! –
– Hahahaha, did the person upstairs finally go crazy? –
……
When everyone was just about done laughing, the host restrained his expression and started to change the topic to Ji He.
Host: “Ji He is a key character in the play, and his personality is relatively complicated. He is a kind of existence that is both good and evil. Can you briefly talk about your understanding of him?”
Qiu Jin: “You said that he is both good and evil, but actually I don’t think he is a bad guy, at least from the perspective of Ji He’s actor, no bad guy thinks he is a bad guy, he is just doing what he wants to do.”
Host: “Then do you think you can play this role well?”
Qiu Jin: “The director believes in me, so I will definitely do my best, be it jumping into scalding water or plunging into raging fire*.” Qiu Jin glanced into the lens of each camera on stage. Beneath the bright lights, he said calmly and confidently, “I will leave the result to the audience’s judgment.”
[*T/N: to jump into scalding water and plunge into raging fire – idiom meaning “to go to any lengths (for a noble cause)”]
< Qiu Jin appeared at the launch conference, looking like an elegant gentleman from an ancient painting. >
< Qiu Jin talks about his feelings on the role of Ji Yao: I’m just a prop. >
< Qiu Jin plays the role of Ji He: I will definitely do my best, be it jumping into scalding water or plunging into raging fire. >
The media people sitting in the audience raced against time, and the news reports were distributed all over the Internet in record time.
– Shock! Qiu Jin will do his best, jump into scalding water, and plunge into raging fire. –
– Hahahahaha, how good could his best possibly be? He’s even talking about jumping into scalding water and plunging into raging fire. Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Yi Congqing completely missed the mark this time, didn’t he? –

– Director Yi is the one who makes the final decision. You don’t have a right to cast judgment. –
– Leaving aside his acting skills for the time being, his attractiveness index today is really something else, I’m falling for it. –
– Those who said before that Qiu Jin didn’t fit Ji He’s personality, are your faces swollen [from being slapped by reality]? Can the whole network find another person who is more suitable than him? –
