Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

After Yang Yu left, Zhang Qilin divided the money into portions of one thousand or two thousand and stuffed them into red envelopes.

Maintaining a good relationship with the media is an essential skill for artists.

Especially since the Beijing People's Art Theatre invited mainstream media outlets this time, Zhang Qilin's good relationship with them will be very beneficial for his future development.

After preparing everything, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

This is his first time facing the media in this world, and he wants to leave a good impression on the public.

He picked up his phone and looked at it.

10:20

There's still some time.

He focused his mind and concentrated.

A surge of light filled my mind, and the Heavenly Compass appeared before my eyes.

He silently recited in his heart:

"Daily Tips: I need to avoid those pitfalls during interviews."

The compass shimmered with light, and the runes on the surface of the divination tube flickered.

Several jade tokens flew before my eyes:

[Neutral draw, draw]

Many people are watching your every move from the shadows, waiting to find fault with you. When facing the public, uphold the integrity and humility of an intern at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, be wary of performative personalities, and remember that sincerity is your greatest weapon.

[Winning the lottery, bad luck]

When answering questions, do not reveal your personal aesthetic preferences, and do not compare yourself with others. When describing your experience in Majuqiao, focus on observation and understanding, and do not overemphasize the suffering.

He had just finished reading the divination slips when the door was pushed open from the outside.

Feng Yuanzheng walked in.

Zhang Qilin immediately stood up:

"Teacher Feng."

"Are you nervous?" Feng Yuanzheng asked with a gentle smile.

Zhang Qilin smiled easily:

"After experiencing the stage of 'Teahouse,' I am much more at ease now."

Feng Yuanzheng patted him on the shoulder:

"Relax, He Bing and Teacher Dan Dan are both here today. If you encounter any difficult questions, just leave them to them. Let's go out."

Zhang Qilin nodded and followed Feng Yuanzheng outside.

The press conference was held in the lobby of the Capital Theatre.

This area has been set up as a temporary media zone.

Behind the long table covered with a white tablecloth, Yang Lixin, He Bing, and Song Dandan were already seated on one side of the main seat, talking in hushed tones.

More than a dozen media outlets were present, and their cameras were already set up.

The reporters were either sitting or standing, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Outside the press area stood some young girls.

They held up printed posters featuring Zhang Qilin's well-known photos.

Their reaction wasn't like the fervor of ordinary fans waiting for their idols; it was more like scrutinizing a product about to be released to the market.

When Zhang Qilin entered the scene with Feng Yuanzheng, the reporters were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their cameras and microphones.

In an instant, the sound of camera shutters rang out in rapid succession, interspersed with flashing flashes, enveloping him in a shimmering light and shadow.

The girls who had been like fans suddenly changed their expressions; their eyes were fixed on Zhang Qilin as if they wanted to devour him.

Someone unconsciously made a swallowing motion.

They were hired professional fans to create an atmosphere.

But upon meeting Zhang Qilin in person, a genuine surge of emotion overcame the mission.

His face had gentle lines, yet sharp angles, blending inner beauty with masculinity.

He had a high, straight nose and deep-set eyes.

A nonchalant smile played on his thin lips, a smile tinged with languor.

His eyes, however, were as clear as unpolluted lake water.

A simple white shirt and dark trousers accentuated his over 1.8-meter height, making him appear even more refined and upright.

He gives the impression of a piece of jade polished by flowing water over the years, with a warm and lustrous surface and a gentle touch.

It makes people feel close to it, but deep down it carries an insurmountable sense of distance.

It appears transparent and simple, so close yet seemingly so far away.

Someone shouted first, and the other girls seemed to wake up suddenly and started shouting along.

"Zhang Qilin!"

Look here!

"Zhang Qilin, you're so handsome!"

"..."

The shouts were initially somewhat chaotic, but they quickly coalesced into a clear and enthusiastic wave of sound.

They held up the posters in their hands high.

Their eyes revealed undisguised amazement, fascination, and almost dizzying excitement.

Someone covered their mouth, their eyes wide open.

Some people excitedly gripped the arms of their companions tightly.

Upon seeing the girls' appearance, the security personnel immediately dispatched a group of them to the vicinity to prevent them from doing anything rash.

Zhang Qilin was also startled by the sudden shout; he hadn't expected to have supporters at the press conference.

Seeing how excited those girls were.

He looked at Feng Yuanzheng, who indicated with his eyes that he didn't know either.

Zhang Qilin could only smile and wave at them.

A suppressed gasp and gasp rose from the group of girls.

"He's looking this way..."

"His dimples are so cute when he smiles."

"Oh my god, he's so gentle."

Zhang Qilin followed Feng Yuanzheng to the interview area.

The girls' eyes followed him intently.

He walked to the seat marked with his name, but did not sit down immediately.

Instead, he first bowed to Yang Lixin, He Bing, and Song Dandan.

The three smiled and nodded at him.

Zhang Qilin bowed slightly to the media reporters present before taking his seat.

The series of movements were natural and fluid, showing the respect that a newcomer should have, but without being overly humble.

The girls looked at Zhang Qilin's humble and proper demeanor, their eyes revealing admiration.

"He's so polite."

"Look how clear his eyes are, I really want to protect him."

"I hope he can stay this genuine."

At this point, the host, Yi Yangbo, announced the official start of the interview.

Below the stage, reporters from more than a dozen mainstream media outlets pointed their cameras at the few people in the venue.

Yi Yangbo's brief opening remarks:

"Friends from the press, hello everyone. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come. Today's interview will mainly focus on the experience of our intern actor, Zhang Qilin, who went deep into Majuqiao to experience life for his artistic creation."

"Given the current state of online discussions, please focus your questions on the artistic creation itself. Thank you for your cooperation."

After he finished speaking, he handed the floor to the media.

As soon as Yi Yangbo finished speaking, a female reporter wearing black-rimmed glasses in the front row was the first to raise her hand.

After receiving the signal, she stood up, took the microphone, and asked:

"Hello Zhang Qilin, I'm a reporter from the Beijing News. How do you view your current popularity? Do you plan to use this popularity to enter the entertainment industry, or continue to stay on the stage?"

This is a very sensitive question, as it directly relates to his positioning and future development.

Zhang Qilin looked at the several cameras in front of him with clear eyes:

"I believe that an actor's value lies in the roles they create, not the images they are created. I am an intern at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, my foundation is on the stage, and my goal is to become an excellent actor."

"The Beijing People's Art Theatre provided me with an environment for learning and growth. I hope that in the future, people will remember me because of the roles I played and my works, not because of a few photos."

Feng Yuanzheng adds as needed:

"Comrade Zhang is hardworking, quick to learn, and most importantly, he has a deep respect for the stage. The Beijing People's Art Theatre trains actors with a long-term vision. We believe and we ask everyone to look forward to Zhang Qilin's performance on stage, which will allow everyone to rediscover him."

Yi Yangbo smoothly picked up the conversation: "Okay, next one."

A male reporter in a gray suit raised his hand and stood up:

"I'm Zhang Qilin, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. What exactly did you experience living in Majuqiao? How did that experience change your understanding of the character and even the lives of ordinary people?"
