The interview location at the end of the book is at the villa of the movie star Jiang Long in the hillside. Although we have already finished the interview in the previous part, I still have some doubts in my heart and want to seek answers from him.
Reporter: Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry for arranging this surprise interview. I heard that you are going to publish your autobiography, and your fans are very happy. Our book club has also selected a few questions that fans want to know online. I wonder if you can introduce them as Easter eggs at the end.
(Although Mr. Jiang is nearly fifty years old, he still looks very young. He sat on the sofa in casual home clothes, looking natural. He shrugged when he heard the words.)
Jiang Long: No problem, please do whatever you want.
Reporter: You debuted as an idol at the age of sixteen and were very popular for a while, but then suddenly disappeared from the screen and devoted yourself to further study. Eventually, you became the current actor in film, television, and music. Fans are curious about what prompted you to calm down.
(Teacher Jiang is very thin, which makes him look a little sick and pale. He drank a sip of warm water and answered me in a nonchalant tone.)
Jiang Long: There was no other reason. At that time, I didn’t know anything except being handsome. Resources were always taken away by others, and I became less and less popular. So I simply went to study singing, dancing, and acting. After all, you have to be strong to stand firm.
Reporter: Excuse me, is the star who stole your resources Qi Yubai? When you debuted, both of you were positioned as singing and dancing artists. The fans of the two groups often fought with each other, and they were considered sworn enemies.
Jiang Long thought for a moment: Oh, yes, that's him. He has the same bad temper as me.
After saying that, he added: He is so annoying.
(Teacher Jiang is always so outspoken)
Reporter: Why
Jiang Long was a little childish: He stole my resources.
Reporter: I heard that Qi Yubai comes from a prominent family, and he was able to enter the entertainment industry thanks to his connections, and he is famous for his resources...
Jiang Long suddenly corrected: "Hmm... Qi Yubai didn't rely entirely on connections. He was a good singer, better than me at that time, so many resource providers would give him priority. But after I went on to further my studies, I became better than him, and he still couldn't compare to me."
(Teacher Jiang still can't change his narcissistic personality)
Reporter: God really does not let down those who work hard. Teacher Jiang, you worked hard for nearly ten years and finally made great achievements. Qi Yubai later had to retire at the age of 27 because his voice was poisoned by drugs. It was a sad ending. In this question collection activity, many netizens also wanted to see you two compete again. After all, you were evenly matched in the entertainment industry and could be called rivals.
(Teacher Jiang was obviously stunned for a moment. Maybe he was also a little surprised by this question. Because not long after he made his comeback, Qi Yubai was forced to retire.)
Jiang Long: Oh... I also really want to know, if he hadn’t retired from the entertainment industry, would he be better or worse than me
Jiang Longyu smiled and said: It seems that we are all old. Back then, the fans were fighting each other so hard, but now they want to watch our channel after getting old. It's really strange.
Reporter: You always speak your mind, and there are many negative news reports saying that you are sharp-tongued and rude. Have you ever worried about losing fans because of this
Jiang Long: Don’t worry.
Reporter: Can you tell us the reason
Jiang Long: Because I am a strong person.
The reporter couldn't help laughing: You are always so humorous.
Jiang Long finally became serious: I have thought about maintaining my image and trying to be gentle and elegant, but I never did it.
Reporter: Why
Jiang Long: Tired.
The reporter nodded awkwardly: That's right, so what title would you like to give your autobiography
Jiang Long: "Dirty Words".
The reporter was surprised: Why
Jiang Long: I loved to swear when I was young, and I only changed a little when I got older. Let this book title remind me to be a polite person in my next life.
(Teacher Jiang is always very unique and has many wonderful ideas. Compared with his aggressiveness when he was young, his smile is very warm. I suddenly understand why he has so many fans.)
Reporter: Well... it's not impossible.
Jiang Long: Thank you.
(The interview ended here. I never expected that this would be the last time I met Teacher Jiang. Three months later, he died of stomach cancer in the hospital. He kept it a secret, and no one knew about it. The funeral was also very quiet.)
(A long time later, when I went to the cemetery to lay flowers away from my fans, I saw a man in black there. But when he saw me, he left in a hurry. His profile looked a lot like the retired singer Qi Yubai.
Maybe I was wrong, I can’t tell.)
We have witnessed the fall of superstars and the birth of new stars. The entertainment industry is like the night sky above people's heads, with several stars rising and falling every day. Jiang Long's death seems to have ended the memory of a generation. Looking back, we suddenly realized that we were all old when we chased stars back then...
——Excerpt from the autobiography of actor Jiang Long, "Dirty Words"
Jiang Long has always felt that he has no regrets in his life. Because of his outstanding appearance, he was discovered by a scout at the age of 16. When he was popular, he occupied half of the traffic in the entertainment industry and was considered a well-known figure.
But it is a pity that he was young and frivolous at that time, and he was arrogant just because of his face.
Later, as he grew older, Jiang Long fell from grace and experienced the warmth and coldness of people overnight. Only then did he wake up and spend decades studying hard to become strong.
Then…
He became even more arrogant.
The entire entertainment industry knows that when it comes to being frivolous, Jiang Long is number one and no one dares to say he’s second.
His life was a mixed bag of praise and criticism, but it must be said that it was quite brilliant. There were some people who insulted him, but there were also some who remembered him.
Being rich and famous, what else do you want when you have achieved this
The only regret is that Jiang Long overworked his body when he was young and got stomach cancer, and died young at the age of fifty.
Jiang Long didn't know what would happen to him after he died. But there was a high probability that he would be reincarnated, just like what he said in the interview, and try to be a polite person in the next life. Or maybe death was like a light going out, and this life was gone.
But he never expected that he would be reborn one day. Not only that, but a diamond-like system bound him inexplicably, forcing him to save his mortal enemy Qi Yubai and reduce his blackening value? ?
"You must be kidding."
When Jiang Long woke up, he found himself in a small room, which looked like the makeshift lounge he had built backstage when he was doing a show. He didn't know which show group he was in, nor where he was. He didn't even have time to think about the big, sparkling diamond in front of him. He stared at the dressing mirror in the corner and fell into shock and deep thought.
"Who is this?"
The man in the mirror was about 185cm tall, with a typical male model figure. Although he was a handsome guy, his face had nothing to do with Jiang Long.
In other words, this body is not Jiang Taki.
The system floated over gorgeously and bumped into him gently: Ouch~ You are reborn. Although you have traveled to someone else's body, you are nearly thirty years younger. Are you happy
It sounds like a thing, but...
Jiang Long looked confused: "Who did I become after traveling through time?"
The system was about to speak when it heard footsteps in the corridor. A middle-aged man with a hat pushed the door open and walked in, then quickly disappeared in the air.
"Chen Xiao, hurry up and get ready, it will be your turn in ten minutes!"
Jiang Long was confused: "Preparing for what?"
Zheng Jiaguo held a pile of stage paper in his hand, rolled it into a stick, and hit Jiang Long on the head with it. He said angrily, "What are you preparing for? Of course, you have to go on stage and meet Qi Yubai! I tell you, the first amateur guest was passed by him, and you are the next one, so you must stay here!"
Love variety shows are popular recently, with a lot of traffic. Leyao Media followed closely and launched a large-scale reality show called "Take My Hand". The program team specially invited celebrities to participate in the event, and then invited ordinary guests to sign up. As long as they are successfully selected, they can get close to the celebrities and make friends, and even -
fall in love!
That's right, it's about dating. This show has already been held for a period of time, and has successfully brought together three celebrity couples. You can imagine how tempting this condition is for ordinary people.
As long as they pass the audition, they can not only appear on TV, but also get to know the stars up close. Even if they can't become lovers, it's good to expand their network of contacts, which is definitely a sure win business!
Chen Xiao is one of the amateur guests who successfully passed the show's audition. Judging from his profile, he has a superior appearance, runs a fitness club, and has an annual income of one million. He is definitely a high-quality diamond man.
However, the truth is that his club is on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, and even owes a lot of debt. Chen Xiao went on the show this time to hook up with celebrities and to promote his club. In short, he must get something back.
However, I don't know if he was too impatient. Chen Xiao was eager to show himself when recording the guest promotional video for the "Take My Hand" program group, and he was a little too eager to show off his wealth and muscles frequently. After the trailer was circulated, he was criticized by many netizens for being greasy, which can be said to be a bad start.
Zheng Jiaguo is one of the planners of the program "Take My Hand". In terms of kinship, he is Chen Xiao's distant uncle. He could not resist Chen Xiao's request and had no choice but to use the back door to let him pass the program audition.
Qi Yubai is a man and loves men. So the program team selected five male candidate guests for him. Qi Yubai had already met the first ones and he rejected them all. Chen Xiao was the last one and it was his turn to go on stage soon.
Jiang Long slowly cracked: "Why do I want to meet Qi Yubai?"
It would be better to kill him with a sword than to go on a blind date with your hated enemy and then be criticized by him.
Zheng Jiaguo glanced at the list of artists. This time, the program team invited a total of stars, two men and two women: "I remember that you like men, right?"
Nowadays, people’s mindsets are very open, and coming out is a very common thing in the entertainment industry.
Jiang Long choked when he heard this, and wanted to say that he was obviously a straight man who liked big beauties, the kind with curvy figure. But then he realized that he had traveled through time and space and became someone else, so he could only swallow it back a little bit: "Then...then can you change me to another male star?"
Zheng Jiaguo: "Are you talking about Jiang Long? No, he doesn't like men."
The "Take My Hand" program team invited a total of celebrities, including the sweetheart singer Jin Anni, the powerful actress Yu Ying, the popular male star Qi Yubai, and...
Jiang Long, a well-known young singer and dancer.
Yes, that's right, Jiang Long.
That is himself.
Boom!
Jiang Long’s eyes went dark, he felt as if struck by lightning, and was stunned by the thunder.
———
Jiang Long… Oh no, I should call him Chen Xiao now. He finally remembered that he did participate in a dating variety show when he first debuted, but he forgot about it after the show was recorded, and he didn't create any sparks with the amateur female guest who recorded with him at the time.
Zheng Jiaguo sternly rejected Chen Xiao's request to "meet and date" Jiang Long, and forcibly dragged him to the western restaurant booked in advance by the program crew, preparing to start recording a short interview before the formal meeting.
Chen Xiao was forced to sit in front of a black curtain, his face looked as if his parents had died.
The recording staff of the program felt something was a little strange, because among all the amateur guests, Chen Xiao was the most active one. He called almost every day to ask when the recording could start, and even sent gifts to the crew, which was very annoying. Why did he look so listless today
The interviewer exchanged glances with the director without leaving any trace, then handed him the microphone: "Mr. Chen, you are about to meet Qi Yubai, how are you?"
Chen Xiao: “…It’s a bit complicated.”
The interviewer was stunned when he heard this. Normally, the guest should say "excited" or "happy". What kind of answer is this? However, the interviewer had a strong psychological quality and managed to calm down and started to ask the second question: "Do you like to listen to music?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "I like it."
He won the Golden Melody Award in his previous life.
The interviewer wanted to get him to mention Qi Yubai's name, but he smiled and said, "Whose songs do you like to listen to?"
However, Chen Xiao gave a surprising answer: "Jiang Long."
Chen Xiao was very excited: "Jiang Longge is very good. I think he is a very promising artist with unlimited future achievements. I will regard him as my lifelong idol and pursuit."
If he didn't listen to his own songs, would he listen to that annoying Qi Yubai's songs? Don't even think about it.
The director team was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and the air fell into a subtle state of solidification. Although Jiang Long and Qi Yubai had both debuted not long ago, they could already see the signs of competing for the future. The two fans were fighting each other bloody, and even Zheng often fought for resources and dramas. They could be called the two mortal enemies in the entertainment industry.
Chen Xiao is provoking a fight!
However, the director is not afraid of provoking a fight, he is afraid of not having a topic. Provoking a fight, isn't that how a topic gets heated up? He excitedly gestured at the back, signaling the interviewer to continue.
The interviewer just continued with an awkward smile, "It seems like you really like Jiang Long. What about Qi Yubai? He should be your idol too, right?"
Zheng Jiaguo was almost going crazy with anxiety, and he frantically gestured to Chen Xiao, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao could only swallow the "no" that was about to come out of his mouth. He touched the tip of his nose, thought for a moment and said: "He is a relatively good singer, but in my heart Jiang Long is still better."
#He's always awesome! #
Zheng Jiaguo had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and he almost choked to death. If you want to praise Qi Yubai, just praise Qi Yubai, why do you have to bring Jiang Long up again? Doesn't Chen Xiao know that these two are rivals? !
The director rubbed his hands repeatedly, his eyes lit up. Chen Xiao, Jiang Long, Qi Yubai, these three people are very topical, is this the legendary bloody love triangle
On the other side, the interviewer could no longer handle Chen Xiaocheng's answer, so he ended the interview hastily and took him to the meeting place: "Mr. Chen, you can meet Qi Yubai. You have ten minutes to get to know each other. In these ten minutes, you can introduce yourself to Qi Yubai. I wish you a successful date."
The program crew booked an entire western restaurant, and the meeting place was at table number six by the window. When Chen Xiao walked over, he saw a cold-looking man sitting there waiting, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed a little impatient.
The other person's appearance was perfect and impeccable, a kind of offensive beauty, faintly attractive. But the aura of "keep away from strangers" suppressed the impact of his appearance. At first glance, I felt that he was cold, like a person who came out of a snow pile.
Oh, Qi Yubai.
Chen Xiao hadn't seen him for a long time since he retired from the entertainment industry at the age of 27. When they met again, he suddenly felt as if he had been in a different world.
"you."
Chen Xiao walked over in front of the camera and sat down opposite Qi Yubai: "My name is Chen Xiao, arrogant and arrogant."
The sunlight slanted through the glass window and fell on the rose on the corner of the table, witnessing their first meeting.
Chen Xiao has some mixed blood genes, so his eyebrows are deeper than ordinary people, his skin is whiter, and his pure black hair is trimmed neatly. He wears a white shirt and a small diamond on his right ear, which makes him look a bit dandy.
But this self-introduction is a bit too arrogant.
Qi Yubai didn't move. He looked up at Chen Xiao and thought, is this the greasy guy on the Internet who can do nothing but show off his wealth and muscles
Qi Yubai didn't want to participate in this kind of variety show, but due to his agent's request, he reluctantly went through the process. He frowned and said, "I heard that you run a fitness club?"
Chen Xiao wished he would pass him by quickly: "It just went bankrupt three days ago."
Zheng Jiaguo's eyes went dark when he heard that and he almost fainted. How could this little brat Chen Xiao say anything so out loud!
Qi Yubai was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Bankrupt?"
Chen Xiao: "Yes, there is still a debt of three million that has not been repaid."
Qi Yubai narrowed his eyes, his eyes a little doubtful, because Chen Xiao's previous and later changes were too great: "So what are you going to do in the future?"
Chen Xiao actually thought seriously for a few seconds after hearing this: "With my figure, I might as well be a model."
Qi Yubai folded his arms and looked at him calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Model? Are you sure you can do it?"
The entertainment industry once selected the artist with the worst temper of the year, and Qi Yubai and Chen Xiao topped the list. No one has ever been able to pull them down from first and second place.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Then I can't be a duck."
