Chapter 368: Secret cheat Code
"Are you still mad at me? What did I even do?" As Lu Chen drives his car, Zhang Jian continues to pout. Right now, the two are going to the site for the interview.
"I'm not pouting. I'm just mad. How can I be forsaken by the heavens like this?!" Zhang Jian still couldn't get over what happened at the mall. How could he gain another love interest so quickly?!
It's like one snap from Lu Chen, and bam! One girl is swooned by him.
"Do you have a secret cheat code you're using?!" Zhang Jian felt the word was going against him. As his life is in hard mode.
While his best friend has his life set in, he doesn't need to do anything mode.
"I don't have any hidden cheat code. And act properly now. We're at the front door." Lu Chen drives up to the front gates of the studio.
Zhang Jian takes a deep breath, and his game face turns on. As he walks out of the room, cheers erupt,
"Kyaaa!!! Zhang Jian! Look this way!"
"He looks so much better in person!"
"So dreamy~."
A crowd of his fans was standing outside the gates, waiting for him. There were security guards around, blocking them. If they weren't there, Zhang Jian might have got bombarded.
Zhang Jian waves his hand at them with a bright smile, making his fans go crazy.
When the two walk into the studio, backstage workers bring Zhang Jian to the back to his own dressing room. There, stylists were freshening him up and fixing his makeup.
"Hello, Zhang Jian." Zhang Jian turns around to see a handsome man talking to him.
"My name is Yan Shun. I'll be the one to interview you. There are some things I want to go over with you." He hands him a couple of papers, "These are the questions I'll be asking you during the film. Tell me if there are any questions you don't want to be asked or if there are any questions you want to add."
Zhang Jian looks over the list of questions. Most of them are basic and don't pry into his personal life. He tells Yan Shun, "There's only one thing I want to add."
...
At the start of the interview, Zhang Jian acted perfectly. His responses were direct and kurt. But he also left some answers open-ended, making fans curious.
"It seems that we are short on time. So I have one final question for you, brother Zhang Jian." The fans nestle, wanting the interview to go on longer.
"It seems that everybody doesn't want this to end." Yan Shun jokes a bit.
"There, there, guys. I'll try my best to get interviewed more." Hearing that, the audience grew silent. Zhang Jian turns over to Yan Shun, "What's your last question, brother Yan Shun" Zhang Jian's smile shows he's ready for anything.
"The final question has to do with the live stream you had a few days ago. You spoke about your boss. From how you talked, it seems that the two of you are close. Can you speak more about that?"
"Yeah. The boss is a close friend of mine. But more than that, he's somebody that gave me the courage to start as a singer."
"Can you elaborate on this?"
"To be honest, I don't think I would have become a singer as popular as now. I was too scared, and I had doubts about whether to become one or not."
Becoming a singer was something Zhang Jian had always dreamed of.
But was it the right choice for him? With how many people denounced the idea of him becoming a singer, Zhang Jian began to have doubts. Doubt that what he produced wouldn't be popular.
"But he was one of the only people that acknowledged what I do to be significant. I'm grateful for everything he has given me. He gave me a great partner, a stable environment, and another reason to sing. I cannot thank him enough." The crowd and Yan Shun begin to tear up. They can feel the heartfelt emotions Zhang Jian has towards Lu Chen.
"..." Lu Chen looks at him from backstage. He can hear some of the backstage workers crying from what he said. But Lu Chen has a wry expression.
