Chapter 84
In a flash, the clues scattered deep in the memory are like pearls strung together by silver thread, glowing faintly in the mind.
Yan Yunzhen is the host, his system is the male god system, his task is to collect worship points to become the national male god, but because of the existence of the original Lu Zixi who is a rival, Yan Yunzhen's task can never be completed.
Does this mean that my original self was a bug that affected the stability of this world, so I was perfectly "erased" in a way that the police and Yan Yunzhen couldn't find any flaws?
According to the Doomsday Survival System, because of his special identity, many fans expressed their strong nostalgia for him, and his departure caused damage to the entire world and Yan Yunzhen's fate, so he returned to this world by accident?
This means that the two murders he encountered after his rebirth, as well as so many slanders and frame-ups, might not have been entirely due to the original owner accidentally discovering Changxing's secret - but rather the system or host that wanted to wipe him out had tracked him down and made a comeback?
But why? He has been reborn. Although he is starting fast now and has the accumulation of his previous life, he is still far from posing a threat to Yan Yunzhen.
unless……
Lu Zixi cast his eyes towards the red envelope group phone in his hand.
He remembered what he said to Yan Yunzhen on Christmas Eve -
"I'm not a host, but I'm a lucky person who has mastered the bug in another form."
The speaker didn't mean it, and the listener didn't mean it either, but Lu Zixi realized at this moment that what he said might have come true.
Because he has a red envelope group, he becomes a bug that needs to be eliminated.
There is no free lunch in the world.
Lu Zixi stared at the red envelope group for a long time before realizing that his cell phone was ringing. He hurriedly picked up the phone to answer it.
The caller was Song Yang. He politely wished him a Happy New Year, then got straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, have you reviewed the schedule for next year? Are there any projects you're not sure about, or are you interested in? So we can start making arrangements."
"Yes, I do." Lu Zixi's attention quickly narrowed when work was mentioned. "It's about the endorsement collaboration with Doux. I want to know what the title is? Which branch is it from? I looked at last year's Asia-Pacific spokesperson, and it seems to be a female artist."
"Because of the brand's positioning, they do prefer female artists." Song Yang confirmed the information he had found. "But the men's clothing line, men's skincare line, and men's watch line must use male spokespersons. According to internal information, Doux is preparing to expand the domestic male market on a large scale, so Yuanhong wants you to try it out. The title is not yet determined, but it would be better if you can get a spokesperson."
"So it's really men's clothing?" Lu Zixi was a little puzzled. Although he thought there was nothing wrong with it, doux was a well-known high-end brand, and such a starting point had only advantages and no disadvantages, but he always felt that with Yan Yunzhen's temper, it would not be so easy for him to swallow this.
"Well... there's another insider tip." Sure enough, Song Yang's next words proved his understanding of Yan Yunzhen was not false. "They are currently selecting a 'New Product Experience Officer'. The title is almost like an ambassador or close friend, but the scope is wide and covers the entire line, not just domestically, but the entire Asia-Pacific region. As for China, doux men's products haven't yet entered the flagship store, so Young Master Yan thinks you can strive for this 'New Product Experience Officer' position and also serve as the spokesperson for the domestic men's line."
Before Lu Zixi could even open his mouth to ask, Song Yang thoughtfully continued to report on Yuanhong's "gossip." "It's said that Doux is very willing to spend a lot of money this time. The 'New Product Experience Officer' position lasts for one year, with at least one new product advertisement every quarter, which will be shown during popular time slots on major TV stations in 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, new product promotional ads and posters will be placed on major domestic and foreign portals and shopping websites. After the domestic men's line spokesperson moves into the expanded flagship store, shopping malls with both the original Doux flagship store and the new Doux men's series flagship store will fully launch large-scale ground promotions and prime-time large-screen advertising. In short, the benefits are very good, so Yuanhong and Mr. Yan hope that you can seize this opportunity."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Although Lu Zixi didn't pay attention to the benefits given by the brands he endorsed in his previous life, with such a series of arrangements coming down, if he doesn't know how rare this benefit is for a newcomer, then he really is a pig.
"But how come such a good opportunity has fallen to me?" Lu Zixi was puzzled. "Isn't this pie in the sky? And it's filled with meat?"
"Originally, he might not have, but now Doux's CEO has unfortunately fallen out with Mr. Luo, who previously expressed doubts about your ability to endorse Yousi. Rumor has it that after watching your fashion show video and hearing that Mr. Luo didn't sign you, he burst out laughing, saying that even the old man can make mistakes sometimes, and immediately turned around and contacted Yuanhong to ask for someone." Song Yang was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly. "Well, they have always been business competitors. They may speak bluntly, but they are honest people. Mr. Luo won't bear a grudge against you for working with Doux, and it won't affect your relationship with Rona. You can rest assured about that."
Lu Zixi was suddenly at a loss for words. What was this? Should he even thank Mr. Luo for not signing the contract?
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the thing of missing a tree but encountering a forest would happen so realistically to him.
"In short, on behalf of Yuanhong, I would like to suggest that you give this matter more consideration." Song Yang said, "However, Doux has a requirement. If you sign a spokesperson for the men's line, then you need to wear their clothes when attending events."
"Of course," Lu Zixi said immediately, "As for professional ethics, I will."
"Also, you might need to appear on one or two regular variety shows to attract fans and promote your products." Song Yang was a little cautious when he made this request. He knew that Lu Zixi didn't like variety shows very much. "Of course, you can choose the type of variety show yourself. Yuanhong can arrange it for you in the plan. You can also discuss it with Mr. Yan when the time comes."
"Well...it's fine, but it can't affect the filming." Lu Zixi had appeared in variety shows in his previous life, and he knew that being an artist still required some sacrifice, so he didn't care about it.
"Of course." Song Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "Speaking of movies, do you have any preferences for themes and outlines of those movies?"
Due to the subtle contempt chain in the entertainment industry that movie stars are superior to TV stars, after the great success of his first movie, Yuanhong arranged all subsequent resources for him in the form of movies, obviously hoping that he would continue to develop on the big screen.
"I saw the first part. There were too many emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists..." Lu Zixi heard Song Yang trying to explain for Yan Yunzhen awkwardly, and quickly said, "No, no, I'm not afraid that Old Yan will be jealous. I'm actually not good at acting in emotional scenes. That's not my hobby. I prefer to play future or challenging roles related to human nature and war. This really doesn't suit my style."
What he didn't know was that Song Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart on the other end of the phone - you are the only one in the world who can say something like "I'm not afraid of Yan Yunzhen"...
So he continued, "I also watched the rest of them, and I think this one is the best..."
Lu Zixi flipped through the documents in his hand, his fingers sliding across the paper, and finally stopped: "This one. "Looking for Mr. X"? "
————
Lu Zixi didn't expect that after he briefly finalized his intention to film "Looking for Mr. X" on the phone, Song Yang would immediately send someone to pick him up from home to prepare for the audition, leaving him with only the ability to read the script in the car.
"Looking for Mr. X" is the new work of Wang Tengfei, the most famous screenwriter in recent years. The main line of the story is that a well-known author with the pen name Mr. X posted a message on his Weibo that he was going to commit suicide. Then the police broke into the house but could not find any trace of Mr. X.
Afterwards, Mr. X's Weibo was sent out at regular intervals, revealing horrific information.
Before he wanted to commit suicide, he left four bombs for this sewage-filled world.
Among them were contact bombs that exploded when squeezed, mercury bombs that exploded with temperature changes, level bombs that exploded when their equilibrium was disturbed, and—
A human bomb.
The four bombs were originally in a closed circuit state. Before posting on Weibo, Mr. X turned on the switch.
In order to plan this "feast," Mr. X had withdrawn from society many years ago. He rode a motorcycle, carrying his computer, and wrote while walking across China. Wherever he measured the land with his feet, he knew where the bombs might be lurking.
He himself, carrying the last human bomb, wandered among the crowd in the night.
After tracking, the police narrowed down the place where Mr. X was most likely to be in a city and issued a nationwide wanted notice for Mr. X.
A deadly journey to "find Mr. X" begins.
The mystery of Mr. X's newspaper slowly surfaced during the pursuit.
One of the leading actors is undoubtedly Mr. X, the genius author who knows how to make bombs, and the other equally powerful leading actor is Gao Feng, the captain of the criminal police brigade, who is also the soul figure in the battle of wits and courage with Mr. X. There are also a lot of other characters behind him, which are beyond Lu Zixi's attention.
Because what surprised him was that the movie wanted to invite him to play one of the male leads - that is, they wanted him to audition for Mr. X.
Even though this movie has two male leads, you have to know that this kind of script is written with the intention of winning an award. As long as it's well made, it's bound to be nominated. In this case, this is Lu Zixi's second time making a movie. If he can really get nominated this time, it will not only bring him fame, but also a meteoric rise to fame.
The director column also clearly listed his old acquaintance: Zhou He.
Zhou He's film "Clinic No. 58" had brought him fame. In his previous life, Zhou He had also directed his first film, which had given him a natural liking for him. He also knew that Zhou He was currently facing a period of transition, eager to win awards and reach the world. Therefore, Zhou He must be striving for excellence. If he wasn't truly suitable, Zhou He would definitely not have invited him.
But he's the male lead, and he seems to be ranked ahead of another male lead. So who would be willing to play a supporting role with him, the detective captain? Wouldn't that lower his own value? After all, in the eyes of the public, he's still a rookie!
And his question was about to be answered.
As soon as Lu Zixi pushed open the door of the audition room, he saw Yan Yunzhen sitting in the boss chair, carefully flipping through the script in his hand.
"Why are you here too?" Lu Zixi blinked, walked over, and waved his hand in front of him, "Did you invest in this movie?"
"I guess so." Yan Yunzhen raised his head and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanhong invested money - why do you have that expression? Is my investment not good?"
"Not really," Lu Zixi shook his head. When Yan Yunzhen wanted to reach out and touch his hair, he turned away and changed the subject, "It's just that I think... did you know that I would definitely choose this one?"
"I guessed it." Yan Yunzhen's lips curled up, and he leaned back in his chair leisurely. "I heard from Song Yang that you took the initiative to refuse your first love drama. I am very satisfied."
Lu Zixi rolled his eyes at him: "Childish."
Yan Yunzhen held his hand and kissed him. "I have no choice. The decision-making table for each artist of Yuanhong must be made public internally. The rules and regulations require that each artist has the right to decide. This is Yuanhong's independent feature. Think about it, didn't you also choose seven or eight movies at the same time?"
Only then did Lu Zixi recall the previous arrangements and nodded.
"So," Yan Yunzhen placed his hand on his heart, "how thoughtful. My husband and I are so in tune with each other."
"Bah!" Lu Zixi scratched his chest without any hesitation, "I'm not your wife."
"Then you will be my husband." Yan Yunzhen still held his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Dear Mr. X."
Lu Zixi turned to look at him.
"I'm Gao Feng, captain of the Criminal Police Brigade." Yan Yunzhen put his fingers together and tightly grasped Lu Zixi's wrist. He spoke the lines from the script in a magnetic bass voice, "I declare you under arrest."
