Ch 46 - Newest Top Celebrity x Washed Up Film Emperor: Pressing The Idols’ Heads1

“The Stand-In” was popular before it was aired, setting off waves on the internet.

No matter if it was those inside or outside of the industry, no one was very optimistic regarding the acting skills of so called ‘celebrities’, especially when it was the famous flower vase Lin Sui.

Everyone knew his acting skills were bad, but all of a sudden his acting was fine, and even particularly brilliant in a few places, which could be said to have raised people’s favourable feelings to their utmost, besides, he naturally had a very good-looking face.

The acting press release Fu Nai bought this time was not met with ridicule, but with surprise.

@But I Want To Sleep: Aaahh is Liu Buquin some kind of god? Even Lin Sui can be taught like this, it’s still one person playing two roles, and the scenes edited together are simply amazing, they have so much feeling, it doesn’t matter if it’s the cold and melancholy beauty or the arrogant peacock, they’re both awesome. I ended up watching this over and over like three or four times and I finally know why he has so many fans. He really has a kind of magic that makes people drool, I’m clearly not a masochist or an especially egocentric person, but I wish I could crawl towards Lin Sui in that kind of pose instead of Xu Shuangxing!

@Lin Sui’s Outsider Girlfriend: Hahahaha my family’s darling has really improved, ah I woke up and the entire world is now a rival in love hahaha!

@World’s Best Kitty: Stranger, let me tell you something, judging from the trailer, we can see that Lin Sui’s acting skills have really stepped up, completely different from how awful they were before. Still, I hope the film is the same, I’m already looking forward to the story!

@I Want To Kiss You: I’ll say it once, show it to me 1380 times in one second! Give it to me right now aaaahhh, I want to see it from the back, I have enough money for the movie ticket!

@Can’t Win Apex Match: Curious about this story, it feels suspenseful. I still really believe in Yan Qin, he wouldn’t act in it if the script wasn’t good and blindly rush to complete it!

@Chachachachazi: I didn’t expect that I would actually become part of the Lin Sui army2. Lin Sui’s face is really suited for the movie, it feels like there’s a story on every frame, and even though I know the director, etc. inevitably contributed to this kind of polishing, I still want to praise Lin Sui for being so fucking good-looking it’ll set off an explosion! When I showed this to my friend she thought I’d been bewitched by Lin Sui, and after watching it we looked at each other and thought, who hasn’t been bewitched?!

Although there was a lot of this kind of positive expectations, Lin Sui’s anti-fans were not weak in power either.

@Lin Sui Quit The Industry Already: As everyone knows, the trailer is just the best parts of the movie, there’s nothing worth looking forward to after that.

@ButtHurt: I won’t allow you to say that about our family’s Lin Sui gege, our gege is the best and works the hardest. So what if his acting is bad? He’s very diligent. What’s wrong with being a resource guy? Who told you you couldn’t fool around with the bankroller? Hmph! Gege is the best!

@HotHotHot: There’s nothing great about his acting, it might have been worth being blown up if it was hilarious. Isn’t that last scene there just for sex appeal? How vulgar, can’t this be reported? Isn’t it unsuitable for minors?

The ‘Sui An’ sisters rushed straight in. Lin Sui’s fans were called ‘Sui An’, or ‘Years of Peace’, firstly because the word ‘sui’ for year sounded similar to Lin Sui’s name, and secondly because they wished for him to live well and at peace3.

@It’s Suisui Ya: I’m fed up with people using minors as an excuse to abuse the reports. You guys say you’re waving the banner of justice but it’s just one of the tricks you use to retaliate when you’re jealous and envious. Do you think this is the cultural revolution? Lmao. If one single movie can corrupt a child, then it’s your child who is too weak.

@Yan Returns To Lin: It’s not hard to face other people’s progress, but malicious slander is even more disgusting.

However, there was a certain group of people whose focus was on something even stranger. It was neither on the story itself nor in the acting, but rather in another place.

@My King: Am I the only one that thinks this CP is overflowing from the screen? Even though I haven’t seen the main story, I already ship the Ruan Qingqu x Xu Shuangxing CP, I even have the urge to ship them outside of the movie.

@I Like Shipping CP: Hahahaha me too, Yan Qin and Lin Sui are quite a match. Seductive Queen shou x Loyal dog will forever be the best, I could eat it 100 times and never be tired of it!

@Knock Knock It’s The Civil Bureau: I already ship it. Just that scene + those lines were enough for me to ship it, it would simply be intolerable for these two people to not be matched up. Ps although I don’t ship real people, I think they look good together, and the Arrogant Celebrity x Calm Veteran Actor is too shippable. Just saying, don’t scold me, all beautiful queens are stubborn bi—soft!

When Yan Qin was working hard at the organisation to reply to the comments, he also saw these opinions, and couldn’t help but give that fellow a like.

Soft indeed. That indolent, powerless appearance made one endlessly infatuated.

He hadn’t seen Lin Sui for several days. Although it was said that the entertainment circle was a circle, and everyone crossed paths regularly, sometimes it was very hard to meet the one you wanted to see.

But fortunately, the premiere was almost here, and he’d be able to see him.

Yan Qin was now very skilled at using Weibo. He read these people’s comments and swiftly set up the ‘Yan Returns To Lin’ CP Super Topic, then publicised it.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about being kicked out of the group if he forgot to check in and do his numbers on a busy day, and he was the group’s owner.

@It’s Suisui Ya: ???

@It’s Suisui Ya: Damn you’re too fast, I don’t know if I should say that your ID is really fitting. I’ve been following the CP super topic, quickly let me in as a group admin!

@Yan Returns To Lin: Aren’t they very good together? I don’t mean in the movie, I mean in real life.

@It’s Suisui Ya: I think they look very good on the face of it, but in the end they don’t have any joint activities do they? And the movie isn’t even out yet, how can your feelings be so sincere!

@Yan Returns To Lin: Because I think they’re real. Do you still want to come into the group?

@It’s Suisui Ya: Yes yes yes! Yan Qin looks tall and with a good figure, hee hee, he can definitely turn the wife into a mess, I want to rush into the group to see what comes out hahahah!

The base of Yan Qin’s ears were slightly red as he pulled Suisui into the group, he gave her admin status and let her manage the Super Topic since she had experience.

Suisui was right, if he wanted to let everyone think he and Lin Sui were real, then they must have joint activities as real people.

Yan Qin pondered for a while, then dialled a number on his phone.

On Lin Sui’s side, movie contracts fell down on him like snowflakes after the movie began its promotion.

Everyone liked partaking in the popularity, but the results were unsatisfactory more often than not. If the celebrity had good looks, popularity, and skills, it was enough to attract attention even if the script was not that good. Lin Sui, who had few movie contracts before, now had an excessive amount.

Lin Sui let Fu Nai filter them, and picked at them slowly.

“You don’t need to restrict it to my character type, you can give them for me to look at if you think they’re good enough or if you see an opportunity.”

Lin Sui wasn’t worried about the issue of his acting skills being bad, at worst he’d just have to look for a teacher again for some thorough study and guidance.

Fu Nai knew her boss had a plan. Thinking of him, she let out a sigh, she never imagined Lin Sui would have no acting talent but still be very good at business, and she felt very reassured following such a boss.

Fu Nai: “Okay. Recently, several magazines also sent invitations, IN was one of them, but they invited you to shoot a double-cover with Yan Qin since they watched the trailer and felt that the atmosphere between you two was very suitable. This time, the main photographer is the one that just won an award, Su Rui. If you don’t want it, I’ll just refuse.”

IN was definitely the top fashion magazine in the country. Its editors and photographers were very famous, and they generally only shot stars who they felt had a good sense of fashion, not just those who were popular, and they were experts at digging out a person’s appeal.

Lin Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, shooting a double-cover with Yan Qin?

Although there was currently certain popularity for his and Yan Qin’s CP on the internet, it was only a small branch, it wasn’t enough when compared with his huge popularity. Would the people at IN be looking for them for this reason?

Perhaps they would, but Lin Sui was a sceptical person who liked to complicate things, and his very first thought was to wonder whether a certain person was behind this or not.

But he and Yan Qin had not seen each other after those days of the wrap-up party, and it had been over two months since.

“First drag it on a little and see how they react, if someone invites you for a meal or gives you a benefit so you agree, don’t hesitate.”

Lin Sui implied. He could actually go and check who held shares of IN, but there was no need for him to go through such trouble. If this was Yan Qin’s doing, then it was just that he wanted to see him.

He really hadn’t seen Yan Qin for quite a while. He’d been too indulgent during those days, and although he felt unwell afterwards, it was still something very nice to think back on sometimes at night.

It was just that he didn’t know if things would go as smoothly as they did during those days without the drug affecting his body, but it should be fine, right? Yan Qin knew a lot more things compared to before, and he was an experienced person in any case.

Fu Nai was a little bewildered by the hidden meaning behind his words, but she didn’t let it show on her face.

Lin Sui was still the same as before, still both cloudy and sunny in a way that made it hard to make out his real thoughts. He looked down on Yan Qin when he was on the crew before, and afterwards he even blocked him out, but now he was agreeing to shoot for a magazine with him, why?

In addition, according to his words, it seemed like he was certain someone would do this.

IN was also a relatively arrogant magazine, if they were refused, they simply wouldn’t go looking for the person again.

The photographer in charge of the shoot, Su Rui, was also hard to make an appointment with. Fu Nai couldn’t figure it out, but she also didn’t look too deeply into it.

Inside the coatroom, the editor in chief was selecting the theme for the next photoshoot.

“What about these clothes? I feel like in light of your interactions and contact in the movie, it’s very fitting for a young master and attendant style.”

Monina, the editor in chief, looked at the man next to her and picked two sets of clothes.

This was the first thing she thought of when she saw the trailer for the movie, but unfortunately that clip had truly been too short. However, Lin Sui’s cold, arrogant, and alluring desire had really captured her and given her a burst of inspiration.

“Okay.”

“I think a painter and model style would also be pretty good, I also have the beginnings of an idea.”

Monina had already began sketching that scene inside her mind, a beautiful and alluring painter and a taciturn male model, it seemed like there would be a lot of sexual tension.

Yan Qin nodded, he didn’t have an opinion about it, he just really wanted to see Lin Sui. Very much so.

Yan Qin’s line of sight swept past the clothes in the coatroom, and his eyes unexpectedly stopped on a deep ‘V’ shaped backless dress.

The gap on the dress was very large, if put on a person, one would probably be able to see the seam of their ass.

Some strange regrets sprung up inside his heart, and he had the urge to see it appear on Lin Sui’s body.

1 This is basically the “Now kiss” meme in which you press two people’s heads together to get them to kiss.

2 Lol in cn the actual term is ‘tap water’, which comes from the term ‘water army’ (people hired to make posts promoting something), so someone who is ‘tap water’ is doing the promotion on their own initiative because of how much they like something.

3 The ‘suì’ from the fan’s name (歲安) is not the same tone as the ‘suí’ from Lin Sui (綏) but they are homophones. The ‘an’ is the same as Lin Sui’s nickname in the last world, An-An, and comes from ‘píng ān’ (平安) which means to live safe and at peace.
