"Oh... what is it, Director?" Lu, who had just been inviting the blonde woman playing the president next to her to go out with her tonight, overheard the director's call and quickly went over.
"You saw Jingyue-jun's performance before, right?" Lu Renhei said, turning his gaze to the young actor playing Lelouch.
"Ah, um, not bad!" Lu Guang had been too busy looking at the girls, but seeing the reactions of the people around him, who seemed to appreciate the kid, he said this.
"What do you mean 'not bad'? It's amazing! You have a wonderful performance by Jingyue in front of you. You should learn to act with that feeling in the future. My requirements are not high. With Jingyue's groundwork laid in front of you, we will invite the famous voice actor Fukuyama to do the voice acting after the filming is completed."
"You just need to portray the Black Prince's conflicting emotions between revenge and family/friendship, and act it out according to Jingyue's understanding of the character. It's okay, we can just film it a few more times!" The director said kindly, patting Zongbeilu on the shoulder.
"Senior Lu, let's work together to make this movie a success." Qin Jing said with a smile to the seemingly slow-witted senior, full of fighting spirit.
"Haha, okay." Always feeling immense pressure from Lu Renhei, he could only nod with a forced laugh.
Section 149, Chapter 82: Reactions to the Television Release
The sun shines brightly on the earth, all things revive, full of vitality, and even the eyes of the people in the theater sparkle with hope.
Director Mawei, full of fighting spirit and high morale, said: "The heavy responsibility of this film will now be entrusted to you. Since even little Jingyue has performed so well, you older brothers and sisters cannot be outdone."
Audrey Hepburn became immortal in her twenties with *Roman Holiday*, Xia Yu won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor award at eighteen, and Yuya won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award at fourteen. Nothing is impossible! Let's work together to make this film the biggest hit of the year and create a classic!
"Oh, oh, oh!" Almost everyone in the crew responded excitedly.
"Oh..." Only Lu, who was confused about what was going on, was a bit slow to raise his hand.
The handsome men and beautiful women behind him all watched him being overshadowed. Some were snickering, while others felt sorry for him. There was no doubt that no matter how well he performed in the next scene, he was destined to be overshadowed.
Not to mention he has absolutely no acting skills. The contrast between the two would make the scene particularly comical.
Yes, it's like a fresh flower placed in an antique porcelain vase.
Because for the same role, someone is destined to capture the hearts of all the audience with those few seconds of amazing performance, and once that scene is performed, it will definitely be praised as a classic.
This might not be a good thing for the general public, but it's a huge good thing for them! Before this day, they had only participated in an idol drama with an audience limited to teenagers. Although it could help them gain fame, they would be labeled by the industry as idols without acting skills.
Unless one reaches the peak of popularity and becomes so famous that they can generate box office revenue, they almost never have the opportunity to star in serious dramas or big-budget movies.
From today onwards, the TV series has been elevated, no longer just an idol drama targeting young men and women and fans. At least this show has the potential to challenge the classic dramas.
If the quality can be maintained and the performance doesn't deviate too much from this level, it might become a highly anticipated and potentially trending masterpiece. In that case, any likable characters in the drama could gain countless fans.
A round of applause erupted on set.
Everyone in the crew, from the director to the other actors, will benefit from this. Even the staff will have something to brag about and ask for a raise.
At this moment, the director with the ponytail was frantically jotting down all sorts of inspirations and ideas that came to him, while the producer had already begun to contact his suppliers to request additional funding and sponsorships for the project.
After that, because of the rise in morale of all the members, the filming went very smoothly. Except for a certain lead actor who didn't take acting seriously, who was out of sorts because the director's requirements for acting had increased and he had to do many takes, everyone else acted better and better.
After that, Qin Jing was even pressured by the director with the ponytail to add more scenes for him, but in order to maintain the rhythm of the TV series, he had to reluctantly give up the idea of adding scenes to show the cuteness of Lelouch's childhood and his interaction with his sister.
And so Qin Jing finished all her scenes in the film crew and left amidst everyone's farewells.
During this period, the episode of "Legal High" starring Qin Jing finally aired.
A pretty, cute, clever, and cunning child star idol with a natural talent for acting. However, she leads a decadent life and has conflicts with her mother. She uses all sorts of tricks, and behind her shrewdness and cunning lies genuine affection. Her dark humor is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
This has once again sparked discussions about the social phenomenon of moral issues among new idols in the entertainment industry. With the popularity of the TV series, the publicity team of Black Butler and Code Geass also began to release promotional videos related to Qin Jing, which received great reviews and she was hailed as a genius actress who walks between genders.
Entertainment newspapers and websites are giving it a big shout-out. The genius actor in Legal High is playing himself. He is the new genius young actor officially launched by Penglai. His gender and age are unknown. He is an alien from the moon named 'Jingyue'!
So Qin Jing began to be known as "Jing Yue" and was quickly recognized when he went out. He could only wear a mask and hat and walk quietly. Now he was too ashamed to walk on the street and see people.
Stills from the Black Butler and Code Geass films that Qin Jing was filming also appeared in Legal High as a play within a play. On the big screen of the movie theater that Qin Jing was passing by, there was a beautiful boy with black hair and blue eyes wearing an eyepatch, sitting on an elegant chair.
A large picture hanging from the rooftop of a building in the shopping district features a still from the TV series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, showing a boy crouching down to hold his sister's hand as she sits in a wheelchair, revealing a strong yet gentle smile.
The cross-promotion between the movie and the TV series, and even within the series itself, quickly brought the newcomer actress Jingyue into the public eye, making her a hot topic of conversation. Her mystery only fueled people's curiosity, making them even more engrossed in the story.
Online, some gentlemen have even been repeatedly watching slow-motion videos to observe the angle at which Jingyue's thighs are spread, using advanced mathematics to calculate whether Jingyue is male or female.
"Who is this girl? I've never seen her before. Her acting is superb; she completely overshadows the female lead."
"Yes, she actually got to act alongside Masato Sakai, and she's super cute."
"Based on my twenty years of experience watching porn, I can tell she's an absolute beauty just by looking at her legs. I could admire those legs for ten years!"
"No, uncle! He's still a primary school student, okay? And he's not a beauty, he's a boy, okay? Didn't you see the promotional trailer for the new robot battle show tonight?"
"Who told you that 'beauty' only refers to women, and that boys can't lick them? Whether it's a cute boy or a cute girl, people like them because they're cute, right? Would you lick a girl who isn't cute?"
"emmmm..."
"You didn't know, did you? Jingyue, a contracted artist with Penglai Entertainment, is an alien from the moon, and her gender is unknown! Screenshot attached."
"Gender unknown? What kind of setting is this? She looks like a girl no matter how you look at it!"
"No, besides this film, he also played Ciel in the movie Black Butler and Lelouch in the new series, playing the childhood version of Lelouch. These are all boys."
"So that's just regular cross-dressing, right?"
"No! Look at this screenshot, it's from a movie about Ciel from Black Butler! Look at the collarbone revealed by pulling up his dress, he should be a handsome boy, right?"
"I prefer the promotional photo for that other mecha anime. The little boy's smile as he looks at his sister is absolutely heartbreaking. Although I've never been interested in robots, I'm definitely going to watch this show just to see this little boy!"
"Why do you insist on saying this cute little girl is a boy? Besides, you're a fan of Black Butler, which is just a BL drama."
"Shut up! You're such a cute otaku who changes your waifus every season!"
"You are the one who should go back to your own world, you yaoi fangirl!"
"Wait! We're all homebodies, why are we fighting each other? We're all one big family!"
"I only watch TV shows and movies by myself on Valentine's Day, okay! You're the one who's a homebody, your whole family are homebodies!"
Such discussions on the internet often escalate into terrible wars, involving a conflict between two major forces in the online world.
However, the true gender of this new idol, Jingyue, remains unknown. Her figure seems to differ slightly in different videos, so viewers can only admire her from afar, giving up on further investigation and simply trusting their own intuition.
To those who like cute girls, Jingyue is an adorable little sister; to those who like cute boys, she is uniformly called Young Master Jingyue; and to a certain group of people with special tastes, it doesn't matter which side is cute enough.
Chapter 150, Section 83: The Girl and the Mushroom's Visit
The gender of Jingyue has become a major mystery in the entertainment industry.
Qin Jing continues to participate in various activities and makes guest appearances in other popular dramas, playing both male and female roles and demonstrating excellent acting skills.
With the release of the movie, female fans of BL (Boys' Love) flocked to the cinemas, and even women with boyfriends or husbands dragged them along to watch it. Black Butler's box office took the top spot with astonishing momentum and continued to rise, becoming one of the top three highest-grossing commercial films of the year.
This was actually a low-budget film produced internally by Penglai Company. Apart from a few spectacular fight scenes, it was all filmed on location. The name Jingyue also began to become known to people in the industry.
With the popularity of Legal High, housewives who love watching Masato Sakai naturally hogged the remote control and refused to give it up, because it's a very funny legal drama that even children love.
As a result, Jingyue-chan from the TV series quickly captured the hearts of many children of the same age.
The girls said, "Jingyue is so cute. I wish I could become an idol like her."
At this time, Penglai Group was quietly developing and perfecting its plan to establish an all-around academy specifically for training idol artists through selection and enrollment.
The boys didn't say it aloud, but they silently vowed in their hearts, 'When I grow up, I want to be the boyfriend of a girl like Jingyue.'
However, in some families, children reacted in a completely different way.
In the room of the two Yuan sisters, a TV drama was playing. Rin, a twin-tailed girl who was exercising with dumbbells, suddenly froze when she saw a female idol swinging her toes and acting cute on the screen.
Sakura, the younger sister who was sitting on the other side practicing knitting while watching TV, also stared wide-eyed in surprise.
The two sisters looked at each other, questioning each other with their eyes, and seeing certainty in each other's eyes, they nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hanako from the Higashino family, who had been lying on the sofa looking at photos of Shizuka in her camera, suddenly sat up, looking incredulous and muttering nonsensical lines. "rigengwanziqingfengrugoupurugou!" It seems Hanako, with her stealth skills maxed out, is back in action.
The television screen showed how the girl used a half-real, half-fake acting style to make her mother cry and agree to give up custody.
The girl on TV had teary eyes and was sobbing softly. Her delicate appearance made everyone who saw her feel pity and sympathy. Yes, she was just a child. Even if she was led astray by a bad environment, she was essentially just a child who was lonely and longed for family affection.
Seeing this scene, many housewives couldn't help but feel their eyes well up with tears, and some of the more sentimental ones even shed a tear.
The Qin family of three watched The Live! from beginning to end, including the finale. Before that, Qin's father had even called Qin's grandparents and relatives to remind them to watch their beloved son's TV debut, but the result was somewhat anticlimactic.
"Huh? Isn't this the episode? Why don't we see any scenes featuring our son? Are there only a few seconds of close-up shots in the movie theater and on those posters on the wall?" Qin's father asked in confusion.
"How strange! Teacher Su Jiu called, but she clearly said it would be in episode six. It's also because Xiao Jing is so shy and didn't want to tell us beforehand. If Teacher Su Jiu hadn't called, we would have almost missed it. But that child star is so cute, and she looks quite a bit like Xiao Kui," Qin Ma said with a smile.
"Yes, I was startled when I first saw it too. If Xiaokui grows up and her hair turns black, they'll look like sisters," Qin's father added with a smile.
"Mom and Dad! What are you talking about! From beginning to end, it's just Nini!" Xiao Kui stood on the sofa, arms crossed, and said irritably.
"Hey? Where did Xiaojing appear? Wasn't she in the movie theater trailer, with the little boy on the poster?"
"I'm telling you! In the movie theater, on the posters, and in the subway ads, that Shizuki-chan who appears at the very beginning, isn't that Nini?!" Aoi exclaimed loudly, arms crossed.
"Hey hey!"
"No!"
"No wonder he looks so much like Xiaojing... it really is him!" Qin's mother exclaimed in sudden realization.
“That’s why he was hesitant and unwilling to talk to us much when he came home last time…” Qin’s father understood at this point.
"But why is she playing a child star? And why is the boy wearing a bathrobe that shows his thighs and feet? Has Xiaojing gone astray? I've heard that the entertainment industry is very dark." Qin's mother expressed her concern.
"Honey, it's alright. Xiao Jing is just acting; she's not participating in any strange activities. And Teacher Su Jiu is watching over her, isn't she? Besides, we have our own son; we understand his personality, don't we?"
"He's so mature for his age, it's worrying. I don't think he'd ever learn anything bad. It's rare that he's found something he enjoys doing..." Qin's father patted Qin's mother's shoulder to comfort her.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin's father said, "Since Xiaojing likes it, whether it's cross-dressing, female impersonation, or anything else, as long as she doesn't go astray into illegal or criminal activities, we'll let her do it."
“Darling, I understand. Let’s watch over Xiaojing and guide him onto the right path to pursue his dreams.” Touched by Qin’s heartfelt words, Qin’s mother held Qin’s father’s hand.
At this moment, Qin Kui suddenly stepped between her parents who were about to hug each other and shouted. Although this was very tactless, she knew that once her parents hugged, it would take at least half an hour to separate them.
"Dad! Mom! Please come and support me too!"
"Huh? Xiao Kui, what do you want us to support you for?" Mr. and Mrs. Qin looked at their tactless daughter in surprise.
Qin Kui, the school's second-generation leader, put one hand on her hip and raised the other into a fist, saying with great momentum, "Of course! Dominate the entertainment industry and defeat Nini!"
You actually dared to go on TV behind her back? Nini, have you forgotten your promise to act with Xiao Kui? This won't do! Since you're too busy to go home, Nini, then let Xiao Kui come after you!
At that moment, the pink-haired girl made a vow in her heart.
Meanwhile, on the Yuan family's side...
"Looks like I need to speed up the script's progress and get Teacher Mushroom to give me some pointers." Yuan Lin clenched her fist. Although the muscles on the girl's arm were not obvious, the tendons inside had already been trained to an incredibly strong degree.
"What a coincidence, sister! Actually, that's what I was thinking too, hehehe." Sakura said with a gloomy smile, pulling out a notebook.
This is a child who usually seems gentle and considerate, but who can suddenly say or do things that even her strong-willed older sister would find frightening.
Section 151, Chapter 84: The Legendary Mushroom Teacher
The next morning, Xiao Kui put on her small crossbody bag and prepared to go out.
"Xiao Kui, where are you planning to go so early in the morning?" Qin's father asked curiously.
“Let’s go to Fox TV,” Xiao Kui agreed.
"TV station? Do you have a way to get in? You can't be reckless and get kicked out, can you?" Qin's father asked doubtfully.
“No problem! Sister Rin and Sister Sakura will take me there!” said Aoi.
"Oh, the two heiresses of the Yuan family, each worth a hundred million." Qin's father nodded, relieved.
He owed the Yuan family a huge favor because they had paid the ransom for Xiaojing and Xiaokui. He had originally planned to borrow money from his relatives to pay back the ransom. How could he let others pay for the rescue of his own children? He didn't want Xiaojing and Xiaokui to be unable to hold their heads up in front of the Yuan family in the future.
However, for some reason, the prisoner returned the ransom, and he finally gave up. He never expected that besides his own son, even Xiao Kui would become so close to those two young ladies.
“But Xiao Kui, what are you doing there?” Aunt Qin asked as she came out.
"I'm going to see Teacher Mushroom! I want to become his apprentice! My sisters say this is the only way to surpass Nini." Qin Kui put on her shoes, stood up, and spun around on one toe while laughing.
"Mushrooms? The legendary mushroom monster!" Qin's father exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, it's Teacher Mushroom from Fox TV. The older sisters say that if you become Teacher Mushroom's disciple, you'll definitely surpass Nini," Qin Kui said with a smile.
"Is that so? But that's a mushroom monster, you know. Will he accept you as his disciple?" Qin's father asked doubtfully.
"I don't know! But how will we know if it will work if we don't try! Besides, I heard from my sister that Teacher Mushroom knows about Nini and me." Xiao Kui raised her clenched fists to Qin's parents, showing off her invisible muscles, her eyes filled with fighting spirit!
Meanwhile, Qin Jing, sitting in the black car, was still busy with her daily filming and various activities.
"What are we doing today?" Qin Jing asked helplessly, sitting in her seat.
