Generation Z Artists

Chapter 21 First Cover

The next day, Fang Xinghe boarded the train back home. After some bumpy ride, he finally returned to the small county town and re-entered the current main battlefield.

A week after I left, the campus seemed to have not changed at all, as if time had stopped here.

But some changes have quietly become part of daily life.

Duoyu was obsessed with practicing martial arts, growing taller and becoming more and more stable.

The rich guy was bragging all over the campus. Once he caught us, we had to listen to him tell the story of how awesome his brother was, and then applaud.

He finally stopped picking his crotch, and was very sad to find that when he went to chat with Lu Tingting again, she no longer blushed.

Xiao Lu's academic performance has improved a lot and he is almost catching up with Fang Yuting, which makes Fang Dadan very nervous.

However, between grades and men, she resolutely chose men - as soon as Fang Xinghe came back, she would come over here again, laughing and talking nonsense all day long.

Fang Xinghe took some time out to persuade Lao Fang.

"If a child is disobedient, she should be beaten. At such a young age, she is already thinking about finding a partner. Aren't you afraid that she will give you a grandson as soon as she enters high school?

If you really can't bear to do it, just tell my master's wife quietly, she will definitely be able to do it."

Lao Fang shuddered all over and broke into a cold sweat because of the dog thing.

He frowned and pondered for a while, with a look of determination in his eyes...

The next day, Fang Yuting kicked Fang Xinghe with tears in her eyes: "You bastard! You are not a human being!"

Fang Xinghe only dodged twice and then left her alone.

Mainly because she was laughing so hard that her whole body felt weak, and her mind was filled with the image of her being chased and beaten with a belt by her master's wife.

The students around were all laughing, and soon the laughter spread to the whole class, and became louder and louder.

Since that day, Fang Dadan started to be angry with him.

It’s great~ Finally it’s quiet~
In fact, Fang Xinghe cherishes the present time very much, because he knows that it won’t be long before he will never be able to find the peace he has now.

That day came very quickly.

Just a few days after his 14th birthday, on a Wednesday in mid-April, Bao Fu rushed into the classroom holding a copy of "Mengya" magazine and shouted, "It's in the newspaper! Brother, you're in the newspaper!"

Then he became rich overnight and was treated like a star for the only time in his life.

"Brother Fu, let me see!"

Sudden wealth made him dizzy and he let go of the magazine in a daze. He never saw the magazine that originally belonged to him again.

But how can one book be enough?
That afternoon, there were more than 20 extra copies of the April issue of Mengya in the class, and almost every girl had one.

The reason is very simple. The cover of this issue of Sprout is Fang Xinghe.

In the afternoon, the male star on the cover finally borrowed a copy from Lu Tingting in exchange for her signature, and saw the true appearance of the April issue of Mengya with his own eyes.

The cover is a half-length portrait of him, captured by a reporter when he looked up.

In the picture, the boy is in a half-side position, as if he was suddenly called by someone, and then he turns his head slightly to look forward.

Under the flaming red hair was a face that showed almost no expression and a pair of eyes that were clear and calm.

The eye has a gray base with a brown membrane, the iris is light brown like amber, highly transmittance, and the base is light gray with strong reflection, so it radiates a layered iridescence under natural light.

The result is a not-so-strong sense of exoticism but an exceptionally strong sense of surprise.

The sense of foreignness is not strong because of his typical Chinese appearance. Anyone who sees him will know that this is definitely not an ordinary boy, nor is he a little Korean or a little monkey. He must be their own child, the image of an ancient nobleman.

But the sense of surprise is very strong, because a pair of such unique eyes embedded in the perfect bone structure creates an impact and shock that is difficult to describe.

On the cover, the boy looks towards the camera, neither curious nor excited, just calm.

The calmness brings a sense of alienation, as if I were separated from the real world and living alone in another dimension.

Will coldness lead to rejection?

No, it will bring a stronger attraction.

In fact, many little girls can't walk the first time they see this face.

At this time, the special adjective "aloof" had not yet been coined, so Fang boldly exclaimed in excitement: "How aloof!"

My deskmate whispered back, "It's Leng Ao!"

The person at the table in front of me suddenly turned around and said: "I feel like this is what a prince should be like."

My deskmate at the front table also joined in: "Which prince?"

"The kind that European royalty have? They have aristocratic qualities anyway."

"Hey, hey, hey, Li Ming is the noble one, okay? People like Fang Xinghe, well, cool and arrogant, should be called Jie Ao."

"Yeah! Xie Tingfeng has been outdone!"

"After seeing him, HOT's brother suddenly isn't that handsome anymore. My Kang Ta, I think I'm going to fall in love with someone else... woooo..."

A group of little girls chirped, a class of little girls chirped, a school of little girls chirped...

Today, little girls all over the country are chattering. Fang Xinghe is in a great mood as he looks at his fans and star points rising wildly.

"Mengya" devotes a large amount of space to telling the story of the New Concept Competition. Li Qigang, as the editor of Mengya and the general manager of New Concept, is the main output and focuses on two contestants.

One of them was the good brother Han Han. He took seven steps to write a stunning article in just one hour, despite the staff's mistakes, and rushed to take the make-up exam. He also took the special question that embarrassed him. He won the first prize...

All in all, it is a good story with full drama and is extremely intriguing.

And just after the review, Mengya released the full text of "Seeing People in the Cup".

This was the first time Fang Xinghe had seen this legendary article in his life, so he read it carefully.

After watching it, I only have one feeling: it’s really awesome.

You have to know that Han Han is not a reborn person, he is a real 16-year-old boy, so his sense of language, accumulation of knowledge, and thinking are really strong.

As a result, Baofu patiently scanned it and muttered, "What is this Jiba thing? And how can I take a make-up exam? Is there something fishy going on?"

This is one of the sources of Han Han's controversy and topicality. People who cannot understand the value of the article focus on the issue of fairness.

“It’s not to the extent of being shady.”

Fang Xinghe thought about it and found the exact description: "At most, it's a little favor."

"What's going on?"

All the brothers' ears stood up.

Fang Xinghe replied casually: "The opportunity to make up the exam must be partly due to the influence of Han's father. He is very familiar with the editor of Mengya, so it is normal for him to give face in such a small matter.

However, there is no direct competition in this competition, and there is no limit on the number of first prizes, and anyone who writes well can win one.

Moreover, Han Han is not a fresh graduate and is not competing for the admission quota, so it does not affect the overall fairness.

So being able to write a good article with this kind of impromptu topic is a real talent.”

As a professional internet army, Fang Xinghe is the one who believes in ability the most - everyone in the entertainment industry buys marketing, but in the end those who buy the least win in the end. How can this not be a proof?

The more you are in this circle, the more you should respect real abilities rather than so-called financial backers and backgrounds.

A background can only bring you opportunities, but whether you can grasp them depends entirely on yourself. There are so many princes and princesses in the entertainment industry, but none of them are popular.

Chen Feiyu, Dong Zijian, Guan Xiaotong, Prince Fang, Prince Zhang, Prince Xiang…

Fang Xinghe took over the marketing sheet from one of the sirs above, who was really a heavy weight that could not be lifted. Even when he "came down to earth" to act in a gay drama, he did not make any splash, and was even worse than Xiang Taizi. At least he had some interesting memes.

So Fang Xinghe doesn’t envy Han Han’s resources and treatment. He deserves it, and... I definitely have it too.

But the young eagles are not convinced. The key point is——

"Why was only his article published? What about yours, bro?!"

Fang Xinghe flipped through the pages and soon saw the "words of thanks" or "warm-up" that Li Qigang wrote specifically for him.

It was a rather corny-looking piece of flattery, not much different from later marketing press releases.

Then he understood it immediately.

"Maybe it will be released in the next issue? It's to whet people's appetite."

"Ugh……"

Lu Tingting and a few other girls immediately fell to the ground, their faces filled with expressions of despair.

"We have to wait for a month. That's a long time!"

Fang Xinghe didn't want to respond, he just smiled, but his smile made the girls' hearts flutter.

"Ahhh! Go away and stop giving me flirts!"

"???"

Have women been this inexplicable since childhood?

　"Triple Door" was definitely not written by a ghostwriter. It is a typical work by a high school student. Its core is the youth of young people. Han Renjun could not have written it.

　　If it is said that Han Renjun has polished the details of the text, I dare not deny this possibility, but the core must be Han Han's own.

　　As for the subsequent book "Flying Boys", I did begin to have doubts, as it seemed very much like it was ghostwritten.

　　But the movie versions of "Flying Spurs" and "See You Tomorrow" shot by this guy are in the same vein as the writing style...

　　Anyone who knows a little about film and television creation knows that this is a film and television embodiment of the director’s humanistic core, and it is unlikely to be faked.

　　So, this guy is really confused.

　　I am more inclined to believe that this guy started to become confused after dropping out of school, with his mind fixed on picking up girls and racing. His later books were all money-making works that showed he had run out of ideas. He is a typical person who is talented but doesn't work hard and just wants to get by.

　　This would explain a lot of problems.

　　Since our focus is not on exposing Han Han's fakery, I will not go into details in the main text. Just treat it as Han Han's entire work and everyone should focus on the story itself.
