Chapter 91 Do you know what's behind me?

【Fate: Fragment of the Reincarnation of Qingyi (1/10)】

[Status: Active Skill]

[Effect: Qingyi Reincarnation Fragment. Activating this grants access to the "Opera Fanatic Mode," where each immersion in the character is equivalent to 5 days of normal rehearsal. A one-day rest period is required before it can be activated again.]

After merging into a destiny, it can be activated once every seven days to enter the "Drama Fanatic Mode." Each time you immerse yourself in the role, you will receive 30 points of normal rehearsal experience.

The effects last for 1 day, and you can immediately regain a sense of reality afterward, with no residual side effects.

Zhang Qilin was delighted when he saw the description of the person's destiny.

What he lacks now is time.

He has only obtained one fragment so far, which allows him to experience the effect of immersing himself in the character for one day, equivalent to five days of rehearsal, but this has already shown him its enormous potential.

With this destiny, he will have more time to experience what it's like to be a little sluggish.

Once he completes the collection of his destiny charts, it will be easier for him to achieve breakthroughs in improving his acting skills.

He suppressed his excitement and looked at the other reward.

[Substitute Talisman]

[Effect: When facing a public relations crisis, this ability can divert public attention to another designated celebrity. If the targeted celebrity has recently been involved in any scandals, the incident will automatically escalate.]

This is a good thing; it's used in the entertainment industry to reduce negative news about themselves.

The practice of deliberately revealing someone else's dirty laundry happens every day; it's long been a common, unspoken rule.

With this talisman, anyone who dares to provoke him will be taught a lesson about what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.

During lunch, Zhang Qilin was scrolling through his phone.

I came across the news last night about someone hiding from fans at a film and television base.

The news headline was eye-catching: "Beijing People's Art Theatre actor Zhang Qilin was surrounded by fans on set; a close call was captured on camera!"

He clicked on it out of curiosity.

The news report included not only photos from the scene, but also excited descriptions from fans.

In the photo, he is pulling a rickshaw, Zhao Liying is sitting in the rickshaw, and fans are chasing after them with their phones in hand.

The comments section was bustling with activity, with most fans expressing their concern for him, asking if he was injured, their words filled with worry and care.

"Oh my god, this is too dangerous! Can't you be a little more rational?"

"Please be careful, and hopefully this kind of thing won't happen again."

"I feel so sorry for him, he must have been terrified."

However, there were also some discordant voices.

"Is he deliberately creating this hype to promote himself?"

"Maybe it's just to grab attention and attract more interest."

Zhang Qilin looked at these negative comments without caring at all.

That's how the entertainment industry is; you can't please everyone, and no matter what you do, there will always be people who question you.

First, Editor-in-Chief Zhou sent a text message: "Teacher Zhang, I saw the news, I'm so sorry————"

Immediately following this was a text message from Zhao Liying: "I just got off the plane, and there are media outlets in Hengdian surrounding me, asking about the details of yesterday —"

Zhang Qilin smiled and replied to the text message. Just then, his phone rang.

Zhang Qilin answered the phone as soon as he saw it was Jing Tian.

Jing Tian's voice came through the phone: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Zhang Qilin chuckled and replied, "No, I'm fast, they couldn't catch me."

"That's good. You didn't even tell me. I only found out by seeing it on the news."

"I'm not injured, so there's no need to tell everyone everything."

"Pfft~ You're practically trending on social media now. Do you think the media wouldn't report on something like this?"

"I'm not too sure about that. As for things on Weibo, Weibo has someone specifically helping me with that."

"What? Weibo gave you a team?"

"The terms and conditions for joining the platform that we negotiated with Weibo some time ago."

"Once my movie is released, Weibo will probably contact me to discuss joining their platform. By the way, the crew of 'The Warring States' is asking me about you again. I told them not to bother you. Are you doing alright?"

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Zhang Qilin did not tell Jing Tian about the conversation he had with the vice president.

"That's good. If it causes you any trouble, just give me a call and I'll figure something out."

The topic was a bit heavy, so Zhang Qilin changed the subject: "Are you trying to scam me out of a meal again?"

"Pfft," Jing Tian laughed on the other end of the phone, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who lacks dinner invitations?"

"Then who scammed me out of two meals at Pangu the other day?"

"Let me make this clear, you were the one who asked me to invite the Great Hall of the People first—"

The two started digging into each other's past over the phone.

As Zhang Qilin finished his meal and walked out of the restaurant, he bumped into Meng Tingyun.

When Meng Tingyun saw Zhang Qilin, she quickened her pace and said, "Your temporary fan club president, Shen Ya, is here to talk to you."

Zhang Qilin frowned slightly.

He has always maintained a proper distance from his fans.

Shen Ya came several times, wanting him to officially acknowledge the fan club, but he always dodged the question.

Shen Ya's visit this time is probably still related to this matter.

Shen Ya is too shrewd; she exuded that professional aura from the very beginning.

If the fan club were handed over to her, it could very well become a tool for her to profit from.

He's currently focused entirely on the internal competition within the Beijing People's Art Theatre, and has no time to manage his fans.

Zhang Qilin's mind raced, and a message appeared before his eyes.

[Number of actual followers: 3294]

From the release of the photos to the incident yesterday.

In just over ten days, his active followers have increased several hundred times.

It definitely needs someone to manage it, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to Meng Tingyun, "Take her to the theater entrance, I'll meet her."

Given the current situation, he certainly cannot meet the other party in private; whatever they need to do, they must meet in public.

Meng Tingyun nodded and left.

Soon, Meng Tingyun led Shen Ya to the left side of the theater entrance.

When Shen Ya saw Zhang Qilin, she greeted him with a warm smile: "Brother Lin, are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. What brings you here today?"

Looking at Zhang Qilin's expression, Shen Ya carefully chose her words: "It's like this, Brother Lin, if you have any events in the future, could you please let us know in advance so we can organize people to help maintain order on-site, and that way, what happened yesterday won't happen again."

Zhang Qilin laughed.

This statement, seemingly out of concern for himself, is also a common practice among other idols towards their fan groups.

But this means that the fan club has to be involved in everything, and over time the fan club can influence the idol's thoughts.

Like many top celebrities in the future, they will consider what their fans think before doing anything.

He didn't want to get into that situation.

His acting career should be led by him, not dictated by the will of his fans.

"I appreciate your kindness," Zhang Qilin said earnestly, "but I spend most of my time at the Beijing People's Art Theatre and only occasionally go out. Yesterday's situation was an isolated incident, and I believe it will not happen again."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I don't want my fans to miss out on their normal work and study time because of me. I appreciate your concern, but as long as the fans don't cause trouble, I can handle everything else."

Shen Ya was slightly taken aback, but she quickly adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I understand your concerns, but the fans really want to do more for you. Look at what happened yesterday, if we had been there, we definitely could have helped and you wouldn't have been so frightened."

Zhang Qilin said with a smile, "I understand the fans' enthusiasm, but I hope everyone can support me in a relaxed way. Come to the Beijing People's Art Theatre to see my performance when you have time, and spend the rest of your time focusing on your own life."

Shen Ya bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

She changed the subject, saying, "Brother Lin, could you reconsider the fan club? You see, many celebrities have official fan clubs now, which greatly helps in promoting the artist's image and strengthening fan cohesion."

Zhang Qilin knew that this was the issue Shen Ya cared about most.

He continued to dodge the question: "My time for studying and rehearsing at the Beijing People's Art Theatre is very tight. At this stage, my focus is still on improving my acting skills and completing the performance."

Having dealt with Zhang Qilin for some time, Shen Ya had long since become accustomed to his evasive tactics.

She had already prepared her answer: "Brother Lin, the fan club won't cause you any trouble. With us supporting you behind the scenes and helping you with some trivial matters, having an official fan club can also help you with publicity and promotion, and maybe even help you attract better resources."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qilin smiled and pointed to the theater behind him: "Do you know what's behind me?"

Shen Ya was taken aback. Before she could react, Zhang Qilin continued, "I have to go to rehearsal soon, so let's stop here."

After saying that, he nodded and left.

Shen Ya watched Zhang Qilin's departing figure, then looked up at the large characters at the top of the building in front of her.

Capital Theatre

She gave a wry smile, understanding the meaning behind Zhang Qilin's words.

This is Zhang Qilin's warning.

It seems that if you want to make money, you still have to start with the boss.

The third floor is the main theater.

Many actors have already gathered on the stage.

Director Gu Wei gathered everyone at the front and looked around: "The first rehearsal is the day after tomorrow. The stage design, lighting, and sound effects will all be coordinated. The main purpose of these two days of rehearsal is to familiarize yourself with the stage, find your positions, and coordinate. Everyone, be alert. Let's begin."

At director Gu Wei's command, the actors quickly took their positions, and rehearsal officially began.

Zhang Qilin took a deep breath, savoring the unique atmosphere of the grand theater.

The real-life set before us is incredibly lifelike; every brick and tile seems to tell a story.

Compared to the simple set in the rehearsal hall, it is more captivating and can easily transport people into a specific situation.

Recalling his first stage performance in the play "Teahouse" in a large theater, he was just a tea drinker without any lines.

If I can land the role of Xiao Shunzi in "Rickshaw Boy" this time, the feeling will be completely different.

Then he can start speaking like Teacher He Bing.

The man finally has something to say.

Just then, Chen Mo, dressed in her performance costume, walked past him.

He played Xiao Shunzi today, but it will be his turn tomorrow.

After a while, the performance began.

Zhang Qilin and the other actors who weren't on stage sat in the audience, watching the performance.

The way Chen Mo acted during rehearsal today was completely different from how he acted in the rehearsal hall.

Zhang Qilin silently compared the two performances in his mind. Based on his current familiarity with Xiao Shunzi, there was indeed a difference between his performance and Chen Mo's.

11:00 in the evening

Zhang Qilin washed up and lay down on the bed.

Silently recite "Activate the reincarnation of Qingyi"
