Chapter 347 Cucumber Zhu Yilong

Emperor Zhenwu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said, "My daughter, since you don't like Yi Zhongtian's old-fashioned autumn gourd, your father will tell you about a big cucumber that is just right for you today! That is Zhu Yilong, who is Yi Zhongtian's fellow villager and also from Wuhan, a place where nine provinces meet and two rivers meet!"

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, his expression full of admiration. "This Zhu Yilong is so handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. His face is like a spring flower, pleasing to the eye. And he has been wonderful all the way in his acting career. Every character he plays is vivid and lively, as if he walked out of a painting."

The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing with his hands. "Look at the show Soul-Guarding, where he played three roles: the elegance of Shen Wei, the mystery of the black robe, and the evil charm of Ye Zun. He played them all to perfection. He was like a magical magician, able to switch between different roles freely, which was amazing. Once the show was broadcast, it caused a huge sensation in the world, and he became famous because of it."

Emperor Zhenwu took a breath and continued, "There is also the young master Qi Heng in The Story of Minglan. His affectionate look touched countless people's hearts. He showed Qi Heng's helplessness and persistence vividly, making people happy and sad with him. His performance is like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing slowly and refreshing."

Emperor Zhenwu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling Zhu Yilong's wonderful performance. "Looking at "Life Events", he transformed himself into the seemingly rough but actually kind Mo Sanmei. For this role, he did not hesitate to change his image, learn the Wuhan dialect, and gain a deep understanding of the funeral industry. His efforts and dedication made this role full of vitality, and also let the audience see his dedication and responsibility as an actor."

As soon as the Zhenwu Emperor praised Zhu Yilong, the Mizukage immediately started her refutation mode.

"Dad, don't be fooled by Zhu Yilong's appearance. You said he was born with handsome eyebrows and eyes, extraordinary temperament, and his face is like a spring flower, pleasing to the eye. Humph, what's the use? This is an era that values ​​strength. Just having good looks is just a 'vase', which is good-looking but useless. Maybe he is a guy who 'looks glorious on the surface but is confused on the inside'." Mizukage folded his hands in front of his chest and raised his chin slightly.

Emperor Zhenwu mentioned that Zhu Yilong has a brilliant career in the entertainment industry, but Shuiying was dismissive. "Dad, you say he has a brilliant career? That may just be good luck. In this entertainment industry, there are many people who become famous overnight, but how many of them can really stay famous? Maybe he is a meteor that flashes in the pan and disappears in a flash. Look at those who are truly capable, they have all been tested by time. Zhu Yilong has achieved some success now, but who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe one day he will be beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind him."

Zhenwu Emperor praised Zhu Yilong's performance in "Guardian", but Shuiying curled his lips. "Dad, you said he was great in playing three roles in "Guardian"? That was just acting within the framework of the script. Today's screenwriters are all very good. They write the characters so well, and the actors just need to act accordingly. Maybe someone else can also play it well. He is like a beautifully packaged product. It looks good, but it is not certain how much the actual value is. Moreover, the roles he played, such as Shen Wei's elegance, the black robe's mystery, and Ye Zun's evil charm, are not just based on makeup and special effects. This is too common in the current film and television industry, and it's nothing great. Maybe it's just a 'marketing illusion' that makes the audience mistakenly think he is great."

When Zhenwu Emperor talked about the young master Qi Heng in "The Story of Minglan", Shuiying still didn't buy it. "Dad, you said that he played Qi Heng with deep affection and touched many people's hearts. But that's only in the drama. Who knows if he is a 'central air conditioner' in real life? He seems to be so affectionate to everyone, but in fact he may not understand what true feelings are. Moreover, playing an affectionate role can show that he has acting skills? That's too simple. Nowadays, actors can attract a large number of fans as long as they are handsome and add some emotional scenes. This is all routine, don't be fooled by him."

Emperor Zhenwu recalled Zhu Yilong's performance in "Life Events", but Shuiying disagreed. "Dad, you said that he became Mo Sanmei, who seemed rough but was actually kind, in "Life Events", and also learned Wuhan dialect and had a deep understanding of the funeral industry. He was very dedicated. Humph, this is just what he should do as an actor. It is normal for actors nowadays to do these things in order to play a role well. This is not a particularly great thing. Maybe he just wants to attract attention and gain popularity. Moreover, the role he played is not necessarily his true level. Maybe he won't be able to play other roles next time. He is like the 'occasionally glowing firefly'. You can't think he is great because of his one-time performance."

Shuiying frowned and continued, "Dad, don't just look at his superficial glory. Many people in the entertainment industry are one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Zhu Yilong might be such a person. You see he is so popular now, there must be a lot of people around him, can he keep his original intention? Maybe one day he will be dazzled by fame and fortune and become a person who only knows how to pursue vanity. Moreover, he has so many fans, maybe they are all blindly chasing stars. They only look at the appearance, not the ability. Such a fan group can't show how good he is."

Mizukage put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Dad, please stop recommending these unreliable people to me. I want someone who is truly capable, has substance, can understand me, and can understand me. Not an actor who can only look cool on the screen. Zhu Yilong is definitely not the one I'm looking for. I would rather continue to wait than settle for such a person. After all, we can't 'settle for a moment and end up in the crematorium afterwards'."

Emperor Zhenwu looked at his stubborn daughter and sighed helplessly. "Alas, child, why are you so stubborn? Zhu Yilong does have his strengths. His acting skills, his hard work, and his dedication are all worthy of praise."

Shuiying smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "Dad, it's not that I'm stubborn, but the person I'm looking for must be the right one. I don't want to just settle for someone casually, or I'll regret it later. As for Zhu Yilong, he's definitely not the one I'm looking for. Maybe in your eyes he's a treasure, but in my eyes, he's just an ordinary actor, nothing special."

Emperor Zhenwu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, since you insist so much, I will look for you again. But don't be too stubborn, maybe one day you will find out the good of Zhu Yilong."

The Mizukage nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Well, I hope so. But before that, I won't give in easily."
