When Wang Jianye heard Qin Zian's words, his face showed utter speechlessness.
Although Wang Jianye's understanding of Sichuan Opera face-changing was not deep, he knew that Sichuan Opera face-changing was performed by one person.
Where would you find a situation where one person provides the face and the other provides the skills?
Wang Jianye rolled his eyes at Qin Zian and said irritably, "You're talking about physical face-changing... you don't mean physical face-changing, do you? You put down the fan and I change my emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?"
As soon as Wang Jianye said this, everyone burst into laughter.
Hmm... how can this not be considered a face-changing act?
Although it sounds outrageous, it's something that Qin Zian, that clever little devil, could really do.
"Old Wang, can't people trust each other a little more? Showing off such a low-level trick in front of so many people, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau?"
"Then how will you change your expression?" Wang Jianye asked.
"Don't worry about that, you just need to cooperate with me."
Wang Jianye frowned and continued to press, "Are you sure... you really know Sichuan opera face-changing?"
"You don't trust me, don't you?"
"No, I just wanted to say..."
Before Wang Jianye could finish speaking, Qin Zian swept his fan past him.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Jianye's face changed completely, transforming him into the classic red-faced Guan Gong in Sichuan Opera.
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall, and Qin Zian was praised.
"Director Qin, are you serious??? I thought you were just joking! I didn't expect you to actually have some skills, you changed your expression so quickly."
"I'm not saying this... but it's so smooth, right? Director Wang and Director Qin's argument just now was probably just to distract us so they could successfully change their tune."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Director Qin is clearly a real talent! As a native of Sichuan, I've seen plenty of Sichuan opera face-changing performances, but I've never seen anyone do face-changing for someone else. He's truly unique."
"I was prepared for Director Qin to make Director Wang change his face on his own, but I never expected it to be a real Sichuan opera face-changing performance. Amazing! The facial makeup looks so detailed; Director Qin must have done a lot of preparation in private."
"Director Qin, the viewers in the live stream are all asking you to do it again! To prove your skills, transform into a black-faced Zhang Fei and show everyone what a good show is all about."
Everyone looked at Qin Zian with excitement, and they were even preparing to make his Sichuan opera face-changing performance more difficult.
Only Wang Jianye looked completely bewildered as he pulled out his phone and opened the front-facing camera to look at his own face.
These people weren't lying; Qin Zi'an really succeeded in changing his tune!
Wang Jianye reached out incredulously to touch his face, wanting to see if the mask was real.
Just then, Qin Zian casually took Wang Jianye's phone and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Old Wang, I've already told you, I have real skills, now you believe me, right?"
"I believe you! I definitely believe you. When have I ever not believed what you said?"
Wang Jianye chuckled, looking at Qin Zian with admiration, and his whole body relaxed.
Wang Jianye thought to himself with delight, "Qin Zian is really skilled; he can even perform Sichuan opera face-changing in Sichuan."
Such a prestigious event definitely requires our full cooperation.
Thinking of this, Wang Jianye straightened up and said with great interest.
"Zi'an, just relax and change it! Just tell me how you want me to cooperate."
"Alright!" Qin Zian patted Wang Jianye on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Everyone said they wanted to see Zhang Fei with a black face, right? Well then I'll transform him for you."
As he spoke, Qin Zian covered Wang Jianye's face with his fan and counted down from three to one.
As the countdown ended, Qin Zian confidently put away his fan.
At the same time, Wang Jianye's previous red-faced Guan Gong mask had changed, turning into a black-faced... panda head.
This panda head isn't the famous giant panda from Sichuan, but rather a cheeky panda head emoji that's all over the internet.
When the staff from Sichuan saw Wang Jianye staring at the panda head emoji...
They fell silent instantly, unsure of what expression to make.
Laugh, that's a bit too disrespectful to Qin Zi'an, the master of face-changing.
Even if you don't laugh, Wang Jianye's panda head emoji definitely has a strong comedic effect.
Just when everyone was wondering how to respond, Qin Zian patted Wang Jianye on the shoulder.
"Old Wang, this stern face is a bit too serious. Smile a little and ease the atmosphere."
Unaware of the situation, Wang Jianye smiled in agreement upon hearing Qin Zian's request.
Wang Jianye's smile is fine when he's not smiling, but when he does... it's exactly the same as that cheeky panda head emoji.
One of the staff members burst out laughing first.
Immediately afterwards, the people around couldn't hold back anymore, and everyone laughed more heartily than the last.
Although Wang Jianye didn't know what they were laughing about, seeing the great atmosphere, he laughed even more heartily.
Given Wang Jianye's status, the staff from the Culture and Tourism Bureau at the scene couldn't say anything.
But the viewers in the official live stream of the Sichuan Culture and Tourism Bureau couldn't hold back any longer, and the barrage of comments started scrolling rapidly.
"I was wondering why something felt off. Then this panda head emoji came out... and it all clicked! No wonder it's Qin Zi'an. He's practically the god of antics from ancient Greece."
"I'm impressed, I'm truly impressed this time! Just when I thought Qin Zi'an was going to pull something funny, he seriously changed his tune. Just when I thought Qin Zi'an was going to seriously showcase his skills, he started pulling something funny."
"Poor Director Wang Jianye still doesn't know what happened to him, and he even laughed along. Hopefully, when Director Wang sees his own meme in the future, he'll still be able to smile."
"Hahahaha! The staff of the Sichuan Culture and Tourism Bureau are really... I hope the person who started laughing won't be punished? But the comedic effect is really off the charts. If I couldn't laugh, I would have suffered internal injuries from holding it in."
"Laughing, laughing, all you do is laugh. Doesn't anyone care whether Director Wang lives or dies? He's the director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, after all. Why make panda head emojis? If you're going to make something, make Siberian tiger emojis. That would be a real sticker!"
As the director of the Sichuan Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director Yuan ultimately held firm to his principles and did not laugh out loud.
After all, Wang Jianye's present situation could very well be his future situation.
To avoid being tricked by Qin Zi'an, Director Yuan had already prepared a glowing version of Sichuan opera face-changing, but he didn't expect Qin Zi'an to be even more ruthless, directly giving Wang Jianye an emoji version of Sichuan opera face-changing.
"Director Yuan, how's my Sichuan opera face-changing technique?"
