half blind

Zhang Qing came out from the backstage. He was very satisfied with the look that the stylist had made for him today - cool short hair, a well-fitting T-shirt, and a necklace sponsored by a sponsor that is not so conspicuous, which is very suitable for his innocent little prince character set.

Several other guests had just sat down on their chairs, and Zhang Qing intentionally appeared a little later than them, just enough to attract the camera's attention without making people think he was lazy.

"Okay, now that everyone is seated, I'll start my question." The host is a woman in her thirties, with makeup that looks like a fake face, trying her best to look playful and cute, pretending that she is still young. Less than 20 years old, Zhang Qing felt tired just looking at her.

"Then, let's start the answering session first." The host cleared his throat and said, "The rules of the game are like this. The party who answers the question first gets one point. After the session is over, the party with the lowest score must answer the questions from our audience friends." Any question about it. So start now!"

Zhang Qing glanced at the few young students on the stage. Even though it was such a crude garbage variety show, they were still engrossed in the big button in front of them, ready to press it first.

After all, for them now, any opportunity cannot be missed, even a second of footage can increase attention.

"Please listen to the question." The host showed a sweet smile on his fake face, "What do you think is the most important thing as an actor?"

good question.

But in this case, the first question is always the best answer.No personal privacy is involved, and there will be no wrong answers. Just a few fake and empty sentences can immediately fill the audience's favorability.Whoever can grab this question has already won half the battle.

"Beep!"

The light on the seat next door was the first to turn on, Zhang Qing smiled, looked at the next door, and managed the expression on his face as much as possible.

It's so hard to die, but Bai Yidong snatched the question.

Bai Yidong's hair was dyed light blonde today, which is very eye-catching among the young students.He was also wearing a pure white Korean suit, and he probably thought he was in the wind, and was secretly proud of himself.

"It seems that the handsome guy Bai Yidong is the one who grabbed our first question." The host said cheerfully, "Then, handsome guy Bai, please express your opinion."

The camera focused on Bai Yidong, and Bai Yidong cleared his throat and said seriously: "As an actor, the most important thing is of course acting skills. Acting skills determine whether a person can become a good actor or not."

"That is to say, do you think that acting skills are the fundamental factor that determines whether an actor is good?"

Bai Yidong nodded in a serious manner, "Well, an actor is also a profession, and any profession should be dedicated. I think that as an actor, the most important thing is to perform well, not to engage in gossip or hype. Hype like cp."

The corner of Zhang Qing's mouth almost twitched, and he quickly lowered his head to pretend that he was suddenly interested in the studio floor.

"It's very well said." The host took the lead in applauding, and Bai Yidong immediately showed a shy smile, "Just telling the truth."

"Then, let's move on to the next question—"

The following questions began to slowly move in the direction of gossip, which was really meaningless except to satisfy the vulgar interests of the audience.

Just when Zhang Qing's legs were a little numb, the bell rang, symbolizing the end of the answering time.

"Time is up! Our answering time is over!" The host said, "It was agreed before that the handsome guy with the lowest score will accept a question from the audience! Let me see, the lowest score It's - Zhang Qing!"

Zhang Qing, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, smiled helplessly, and raised his arm, "I would like to admit defeat to the bet."

"Okay, so let's look at the content of the question—" The host cleared his throat and read the question on the card aloud, "The question is like this: 'Have you ever had one, just remember a The name of the person, when the pain is piercing?'”

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment.

The spotlight hit his face, and all the cameras on the field were shooting him. The heat of the spotlight made his temples ooze thin beads of sweat, his heart tightened suddenly, and everything around him felt like a second Complete silence.

"Yes." Zhang Qing laughed, "It should be my mother. When I was young, she used to remind me to practice the piano every day. Whenever I think of her, I feel afraid."

There was a burst of laughter immediately from the auditorium. Although it was a bit cold, it still managed to enliven the atmosphere on the field.

"Do you think you answered beautifully? Huh?"

Zhang Qing didn't want to talk to Bai Yidong, he was already tired enough after the day's announcements, now he just wanted to take off his makeup quickly, eat early and go home to sleep.

But even though he was walking fast enough, Bai Yidong's long legs still quickly caught up with him, insisting on asking him to say something.

"Let me tell you, no matter how many clever answers you give, it's useless, the audience will only think you're stupid!" Bai Yidong was furious.

"Yes, I'm stupid, but you are the smartest." Zhang Qing rolled his eyes, "All the questions you answered were perfect answers."

"Zhang Qing! You are a disgusting homosexual!"

Zhang Qing's footsteps paused, and for the first time he felt a nausea to Bai Yidong.

"Why are you pretending to be noble? Don't think that I don't know your details. What are your skills? Is there any shame in relying on men to fire up CP?"

"Bai Yidong!"

Before Zhang Qing had a fit, someone rushed ahead of him and shouted to stop the jumping clown.Zhang Qing didn't even need to turn his head to know that Yujie's voice was Duanmurou.

Duanmurou stepped on a pair of stiletto heels. The sound of the soles of the high heels on the marble was like a murder weapon. It felt as if the stone under her feet would be smashed to pieces in a second.

Duanmurou's name sounds like a lady from a deep boudoir, a virtuous and gentle goddess in dreams, she does look like a goddess, with long fluttering hair, she looks pure and pure at first glance, which makes people pitiful.

However, Duanmurou's personality is exactly the opposite of her name, she is a vigorous and resolute woman.

It is said that because of this, she and her mother have been quarreling since childhood, and she did not become the kind of woman her mother hoped for in the end.

If someone married Duan Murou back home, Zhang Qing would feel that that person must have destroyed the earth in his previous life, and only suffered such retribution in this life.But in the working relationship between artists and managers, her decisiveness is a rare advantage.

Bai Yidong was startled by the sudden appearance of the tigress, and even took half a step back subconsciously.

"Why don't you take more announcements when you're so free? Oh——sorry, I forgot that no one is willing to ask you to be an endorsement recently." Duanmurou smiled at Bai Yidong with a goddess-level smile, and said viciously , "Our Xiaoqing is different from you, and there are several announcements to be made in the future. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

Duanmu Rou always likes to call Zhang Qing Xiaoqing. Although Zhang Qing has protested many times not to call him like a snake, it is useless. If this woman can listen to people, she will not be what she is today. .

Bai Yidong stared at Duanmurou for a long time, and finally turned around angrily and left.

"Look at him, he's already in the background, and he's still walking with such flamboyant steps." Duanmurou gave a "tsk" and commented unceremoniously, "Vixen, I still have the face to criticize you."

Zhang Qing waved his hand, expressing that he was too lazy to argue with such a person.

But Duanmurou suppressed his anger, and looked even more angry than him, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless ones, he just deliberately mentioned some hype on the show, it's obvious that he is mocking you. He said it as if he didn't hype it up! He just hated that he wasn't the one who fired CP with Liang Yu at that time!"

Hearing Duanmurou's continuous cannonball voice, Zhang Qing felt a little headache.To be honest, filming the show with Bai Yidong was enough to make him tired, he really didn't want to think about these messy intrigues anymore.

"Xiaoqing, you have to believe that you will become popular soon." Duanmurou moved a stool and sat down in front of him, and patted his face with makeup remover, "At that time, you will never have to talk to Bai Yidong again." Such a poor little character is on the same stage together. Bai Yidong is just picking up a stool and hitting his own feet. He is so angry, it is not because he has played off the hype a while ago. He wanted to take advantage of others, but he was beaten by his opponent instead. Those who are scolded by the Internet now, come to this kind of program to save their reputation."

Zhang Qing asked belatedly: "Ah, the first question is for him?"

Fortunately, he didn't snatch it. If he did, Bai Yidong would have crushed him on the spot.

"Didn't the director come to the backstage to talk about it before starting the machine?" Duanmurou looked at Zhang Qing in disbelief, "Which part of Mauritius did your mind go to?"

"I didn't pay attention to it." Zhang Qing said angrily, "But this little show doesn't have much ratings. Is it feasible to do this kind of public relations?"

"Why doesn't it work? Who cares about ratings when you're doing marketing now?" Duanmurou curled his lips, "Get a few big V marketing accounts, cut a clip of him, post it on Weibo, and get some trolls to forward it Let me tell you how upright the little prince charming is, and it will naturally be seen by many people."

"Then the fake Dakong's standard answer can also attract favor?" Zhang Qing wanted to laugh a little.

"Yes." Duanmurou didn't take it seriously, "Most people, in fact, just follow others' advice, say that this person is good, and everyone will follow suit. If you say a good word, it means the three views are correct; if you say something biased, There is a problem with character. After all, no one can get in touch with real idols, and judge based on these few words."

Zhang Qing sighed, didn't say anything, and let Duanmurou help him remove the makeup on his face.

"Okay." Duanmurou roughly slapped water on his face twice, Zhang Qing let out a long sigh of relief, and was about to stand up from the stool.

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Duanmurou stared at him.

"Ah?" Zhang Qing asked confusedly, "Go home."

"Your mind has flown to Bayan Prague!" Duanmurou stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Sit down. I'll change your makeup, there's still an event to catch up on later."

Still have a place to catch up?

"Director Li's banquet." Duanmurou said with a look of hatred, "Remember?"

Oh——Zhang Qing showed a suddenly realized expression.

It seems that Duanmurou did mention such a thing to himself yesterday.

"Do I have to go?" Zhang Qing said reluctantly.

"No, yes, go!" Duanmurou said every word, "Do you know how much effort I have spent to get you such a role? Your cooperation with Liang Yu has just ended, and it is purified by fans." In the period of fierce competition, whoever can win more favor and more fans at this time will be the final winner. Liang Yu has already found a good drama, we must not lose at this juncture!"

Zhang Qing responded casually, staring at the cracks on the floor and staring blankly.

Let two male actors act in the Dangai drama first, hype the so-called male-male cp, and then quickly untie them after the drama is over, purifying the fans who liked the two people into their own fans.I don't know which genius invented the hype method. It is low-cost and high-efficiency, but it is a bit disgusting.

"Xiaoqing, look at me." Duanmurou noticed Zhang Qing's resistance at a glance, pinched his chin and turned his face away, "I know you don't like this kind of hype, but Xiaohua Xiaodan in the entertainment circle There are so many, and only those who are popular are qualified to talk about strength, do you understand?"

Zhang Qing sighed, "Understood."

"I'll just ask you something, do you want to be popular?"

"Think." Zhang Qing admitted.

"If you want to be popular, do it well." Duanmurou emphasized her tone, "Don't think that you are hard enough. There are many people in this circle who are harder than you. If you don't work harder, you will be chased soon. up."

Zhang Qing felt his stomach sink a little, he nodded and didn't speak any more.

There are too many human relationships in this circle, and when Director Li gave him a role, he had to help others to cheer.This favor is owed, and I don't know how long it will take to pay it back.

"Okay." Duanmurou put the cosmetics into the bag and patted Zhang Qing on the shoulder, "Go ask Amy to choose a suit of clothes for you. There are probably many big names at the banquet, so be polite." Come on, it won't be a big problem."

The city looks different under the night sky than in the daytime. More artificial light shines on the asphalt road, illuminating the city as bright as daytime.Zhang Qing remembers that he learned the term "light pollution" when he was in high school. At that time, the teacher with thick eyebrows and big eyes exaggerated the horror of light pollution on the podium. However, after so many years, the city is brighter than before. .

So after all, it is impossible for people to give up a more convenient life.Proposing such concepts is just to relieve a little bit of guilt deep in my heart.

Zhang Qing aimlessly glanced at the dazzling artificial lights through the car window, which gradually blurred in the blind corner of his vision. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the flickering light sticks in the study room of high school.

Mosquitoes and flies are flying around the lamp sticks. The classroom is quiet except for the sound of writing papers.

——Have you ever felt heart-piercing pain just thinking of a person's name?

Stop, stop, stop, stop for me!

At this moment, Zhang Qing's body suddenly shook violently, and his head almost hit the back of the front seat.

Damn, didn't you tell me to stop the car?Zhang Qing looked in the direction of the driver dissatisfied, and the latter turned his head and gave him an apologetic smile, "Sorry, the car in front stopped in a hurry. It's already arrived, please get off."

Zhang Qing opened the car door irritably, wanting to see who really didn't have any AC numbers in his heart.

"Hey!" Zhang Qing got out of the car and shouted at the car in front.Just in time, a slender young man got out of the car, and he turned his head when Zhang Qing called him out.

The moment Zhang Qing saw him, he just froze in place.
