The Villain’s Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

Face Slapping the Film Emperor and Empress (Entertainment Circle)

Yes, Zhou Xu was gay, that had never changed. He didn’t want to recall anything from the hundred worlds he had experienced. But now, since he controlled the system, he was happy to find a companion for himself.

“You are Zhou Xu?”

“Yes.”

“Hello, I am Han Zikui.”

“Hello.”

The two men shook hands. Zhou Xu was not humble nor fawning, and his expression was even a little bit arrogant. This arrogance, Han Zikui saw, had a distinct style.

“The audition was good, remember to stay in shape.”

Zhou Xu’s chin was slightly raised, his eyes narrowed and imposing. He was arrogant and uncontrollable like a newborn calf. Even if in front of him were mountains of daggers and seas of flames, he could walk with ease. This kind of charm was not something that anyone could have, especially with his pretty facial features, making him so beautiful that people couldn’t open their eyes.

“I don’t need Han Dao’s reminder. I know.”

“Very good.”

The two were talking, and there was a knock on the door. Han Zikui’s eyebrows slightly creased, but immediately returned to normal and said, “Come in.” Then, Zhou Xu and Zhang Hanshu once again met.

It really was a small world. Zhou Xu bowed his head. In his eyes, it wasn’t a taunt, but a joke. He and the protagonist seemed to be tightly bound to each other, and it was nothing but an ill-fated relationship.

Sun Yue also saw Zhou Xu. Although she was unhappy, because this was Han Zikui’s office, she could only ask for other’s opinions and politely say, “Han Dao, are we going to talk about things that is not suitable in the presence of unrelated people?

Han Zikui didn’t say anything. After all, the fewer people knew about who brought money into the group, the better. This was not a good thing for all the people concerned, especially Zhang Hanshu. If someone found out, they would likely blow up this information, and eventually it would even become a stain in his life.

This was what the entertainment circle was all about. There were many cases where it was easy to be popular and “dirty”.

Seeing that Han Zikui did not oppose, Sun Yue and Zhang Hanshu thought that he had acquiesced, so Zhang Hanshu politely said to Zhou Xu, “Zhou Xu, you should go out first, we have something to talk about.”

With a snort, Zhou Xu scornfully said, “First, I did not want to stay. Second, it should be Han Dao to ask for me to leave. What is your place?”

The scene was suddenly awkward. Zhang Hanshu didn’t expect that Zhou Xu would not even give Han Zikui face, and embarrassed himself in his office. But since he started first, Zhang Hanshu thought, then don’t blame me for my rudeness.

“Zhou Xu, Han Dao nodded his head just now before I said that. Furthermore, I don’t know when I offended you, but you oppose me everywhere.”

Zhang Hanshu said it very cleverly. Although it was only a simple sentence, it only pushed responsibility directly on Han Zikui’s head. That meant to scold Zhou Xu for scolding Han Zikui, but he was gambling on this because no one dared not to cross Han Zikui.

But what Zhang Hanshu didn’t expect was that Zhou Xu actually went to Han Zikui and asked him, “Han Dao, if you want me to get out, just tell me straight. If you don’t make a sound, I will interpret that you want me to stay.”

After that, Zhou Xu stared at Han Zikui. Zhang Hanshu had confidence in himself, and Zhou Xu was also confident. His confidence was based on Han Zikui’s red earlobes when he (HZ) saw himself (ZX), which must mean something.

Zhou Xu’s willfulness and unreasonableness, Han Zikui saw it all, but he did not hate it. He even began to enjoy Zhou Xu’s gaze.

“Zhou Xu, you go out first, I really do have something to discuss with them.”

After Han Zikui finished speaking, Zhang Hanshu and Sun Yue looked like they won and sneered at Zhou Xu, but Zhou Xu did not even look at them.

It seems that he only looked at Han Zikui and had him in his heart. Zhou Xu said, “Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

After that, Zhou Xu opened the door and left, thoroughly ignoring Zhang Hanshu and Sun Yue.

Zhou Xu’s attitude was very clear. He only communicated with the master of the room. As for other people, he didn’t pay attention to them at all.

After Zhou Xu left, Han Zikui unexpectedly had a small, almost invisible, smile. Sure enough, he had taken a fancy to that man, who had strong character, wild temperament, and full of vigor.

Sun Yue and Zhang Hanshu did not notice Han Zikui’s expression. They just thought that Han Zikui was supporting them. However, both of them were tactful people. They were truly skilled in dealing with people. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to become the hero and heroine of this world in the previous life.

“Sit.” Han Zikui’s words were concise.

Zhang Hanshu and Sun Yue sat down together, but Han Zikui seemed as if he didn’t want to be polite to them at all. He went straight to the subject: “It’s possible for you to give funds, but it depends on how much money you can bring. You are aware that Xiao Qi brought 80 million into the group.”

Zhang Hanshu was silent because he didn’t want to offend Sun Yue or Han Zikui. Luckily, Sun Yue liked the flexibility and value of Zhang Hanshu, so she tried to help him. As for Han Zikui, Zhang Hanshu admitted that he didn’t know what Han Zikui was thinking.

Xiao Qi was the original man sent by investors to be the protagonist. But if Sun Yue could provide more, he didn’t mind changing investors. Anyway, the contract hadn’t been signed yet, so he naturally wanted to maximize the profits.

Sun Yue knew the value of Han Zikui’s movies, so she gritted her teeth and said, “I will 200 million to invest into the group, let Zhang Hanshu play the leading role. I will be an investor.”

Han Zikui laughed in his heart. He knew that Sun Yue came from a wealthy background and that her family was rich, but he didn’t expect her to be this rich. One investment was 200 million yuan. The original fund for the film was only 450 million yuan.

“Ok.” Han Zikui responded straightforwardly. As far as acting skills were concerned, Zhang Hanshu was a newcomer, but when compared to Xiao Qi, he was not bad.

Thinking of this, Han Zikui recalled watching Zhou Xu’s audition through the camera, and his expression, movements, and postures were nothing but wonderful, and there was nothing wrong with his appearance.

Han Zikui just realized that Zhou Xu, Zhang Hanshu, and Sun Yue had something going on. Should he go watch Zhou Xu and Hanshu act against each other?

Interesting, Han Zikui thought, the corner of his mouth unconsciously hooking up.

He liked this unknown feeling. How would Zhou Xu behave after that? He’s really looking forward to it.

“Zhang Hanshu, do you know Zhou Xu?”

Zhang Hanshu didn’t expect Han Zikui to ask this question, but a moment ago, he and Zhou Xu opposed each other, and it was normal to care about it. After all, one was playing the leading role and the other was playing the most important villain, and so there surely would be rival plays. So he answered honestly, “I know him, we were recruited into Huaxia Entertainment Company at the same time used to study in the same class.”

“How much do you know about Zhou Xu?”

“……”

“I’ve only said a few words to him, but I haven’t had time to be familiar with him. Since you know him, let’s talk about him. I don’t bother to ask him to come in again.” Han Zikui deliberately said in a relaxed tone.

Zhang Hanshu only then opened his mouth, but he would never speak ill of Zhou Xu in front of Han Zikui. He can’t expose the other people’s lies because he doesn’t think it’s worth it.

“Actually, I don’t know. As far as I know, Zhou Xu is a very casual person. He lives very freely. Sometimes I envy his unrestrained attitude, very pure.”

“You are envious as well? You find everything good?”

“Well, he doesn’t care about other people’s eyes. He likes what he likes. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like. Others can’t affect him.”

Han Zikui nodded and said, “Okay, you can go out.”

Sun Yue, Zhang Hanshu: ……

Don’t you want to know? If you know Zhou Xu, you don’t need to know Zhang Hanshu? From beginning to end, he didn’t seem to ask Zhang Hanshu any questions about him.

“By the way, you can go to the assistant director and have a look at the audition video. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye, Han Dao.”

Sun Yue and Zhang Hanshu could only go. They knew Han Zikui’s position in the film industry, so naturally, they didn’t dare displease him, because there wasn’t a person that Han Zikui liked that wasn’t popular, and there wasn’t a movie that Han Zikui shot that didn’t sell well. Zhang Hanshu was now the leading role in his film, so he wasn’t far from becoming famous.

Sun Yue, who was still tense, turned to Zhang Hanshu and said, “Don’t worry, since you are the male lead, you only need to study the script and hone your acting skills.”

Zhang Hanshu said gratefully, “Sister Sun, I don’t know how to thank you. I promise you that I will try my best and not let your efforts go to waste.”

Sun Yue smiled and said nothing, but the tenderness in her eyes was impossible to miss even if Zhang Hanshu wanted to pretend as if he hadn’t seen it.

Zhang Hanshu looked around and quickly kissed Sun Yue, and causing Sun Yue to scold him. “Don’t make trouble. It will be bad if you are photographed. You’re a newcomer. Don’t let people say that you depend on me. When you succeed, no one will say anything about you.”

“Well, I just couldn’t help it. I will hold back in the future.” Zhang Hanshu whispered with a red face.

They were in a good mood to find the assistant director. They asked for a recording of the audition and left. However, they were shocked when they saw Zhou Xu’s performance.

Not only Zhang Hanshu but also Sun Yue, who won Best Actress last year, had to admit that Zhou Xu’s performance was excellent. It wasn’t superficial acting, but acting that really integrated oneself into the role, from the heart to the body. Then he acted the role of the murderer, and that kind of quiet terror, like a bitter cold, made people become frozen stiff.

“This, I will have rival plays with him, but I’m afraid that everyone’s eyes will be on Zhou Xu.” Zhang Hanshu sighed softly.

Sun Yue was silent. She knew this better than Zhang Hanshu.

“Okay, for you, Hanshu, I’ll fight for it.”

Zhang Hanshu was shocked. “Sister Sun, what are you going to do?”

Zhang Hanshu’s concern was seen by Sun Yue. She felt confident, so she patted Zhang Hanshu on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, with money, I could bring you into the group, or bring others to join. It shouldn’t be a problem to replace Zhou Xu.”
