The agent glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to remind her, "Don't forget, you're also going to create a scandal with the female lead of this movie, so..."
Upon hearing this, Levy, who was righteously expressing his displeasure, suddenly paused, feeling a chill run down the back of his neck.
He cautiously looked at Qin Chu, and sure enough, Qin Chu looked at him: "Oh, so you're creating a scandal?"
“It’s all fake. Everyone knows it’s just that they appeared together in front of the camera a few times,” Levy explained in a low voice.
Qin Chu glanced at him, then continued walking forward without saying a word.
Levy was caught in a dilemma by his attitude, feeling extremely uneasy.
After walking for a while, Qin Chu suddenly said, "I remember now, didn't you have several rumored lovers in a row? At first it was a male celebrity, then a young girl? And then..."
"..."
Levy remained silent for a few seconds, feeling guilty.
He used to never care about these things, and who he was involved in scandals with depended entirely on the publicity needs of his film and television works. All he had to do was cooperate by taking a few photos and acting out a sentimental act, which was something he could do with ease.
Behind the scenes, Levy doesn't actually enjoy interacting with people, so he can truly be considered to be very self-disciplined.
Otherwise, his agent wouldn't have been so surprised to see Qin Chu, who was using his identity, in a room with another man.
However, rumors, whether true or not, spread very widely.
Levy was completely unprepared for the fact that even Qin Chu had heard of it.
Qin Chu clearly knew nothing about the entertainment industry. After holding it in for so long, all he could manage to say were "male celebrity" and "little girl," but he was still trying his best to express his dissatisfaction.
Amidst this unease and guilt, a subtle sense of smugness also surfaced within Levy.
He leaned closer to Qin Chu and asked in a low voice, "You even care about these old, fabricated rumors. Can I assume... you're jealous, General Qin?"
Qin Chu choked.
He turned to look at Levi, about to say something, but his attention was drawn to the posters plastered in the hallway.
This is clearly the movie that Anthony just released.
On the poster, at the edge of an extremely dangerous cliff, a blond, blue-eyed man reaches out and pulls a girl who is about to fall off the cliff. Even in such a perilous scene, the man still gives the girl a bright smile.
Sunny and alluring.
Previously, Qin Chu felt nothing when looking at Anthony's face, and felt even less moved when seeing him interact with others.
But now he knows that Anthony is Levy.
And just moments ago, Levi was flirting with him while wearing this face.
Qin Chu stood there for a while, looking very unhappy.
He also knew that his unhappiness came for no reason.
The current time is actually five years ago in reality, and he and Levy didn't know each other at all.
He also knew that rumors between celebrities were normal and didn't necessarily mean there was anything between the two. His agent's reaction also indicated that Levy, while using Anthony's identity, had indeed not had any intimate relationship with anyone.
Qin Chu knew everything, but he was still inexplicably unhappy when he saw the poster.
This unhappiness wasn't entirely due to jealousy.
To a large extent, it was because he discovered that he hadn't actually been involved in Levy's past. He didn't know that Levy had been a space pirate, nor did he know that Levy was Anthony.
They had no connection in the past.
Therefore, all the times he hadn't participated in became factors contributing to his unhappiness.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu suppressed these unnecessary emotions and continued walking forward with his agent.
When Qin Chu arrived backstage at the fan meeting, he realized that he was not familiar with the fan meeting's procedures.
Qin Chu frowned, about to ask his agent a question, but the agent pushed him on the back: "Hurry, there's no time, go up!"
Qin Chu was still full of questions when he stood on the stage and immediately heard a deafening cheer.
The cheers were filled with obvious affection and anticipation, and the overwhelming emotion made Qin Chu squint his eyes.
Wow, it's quite popular.
Although he knew nothing about the fan meeting, Qin Chu was not flustered because he found a small card in his pocket, which should be the agenda for the meeting.
The spotlight shone on Qin Chu, but he didn't move. He simply took out the card and looked at it in front of everyone.
Um... the first step is to greet the fans.
Qin Chu raised his head and coldly uttered three words: "Hello."
The fans were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Qin Chu didn't understand why they were laughing, so he raised one eyebrow.
Backstage, his manager almost knelt down, yelling into his earpiece, "The script is to remind you if you can't remember something, not for you to casually take it out and read it!"
The fans in the audience were going crazy.
Nowadays, fan meetings use holographic projection, with fans participating virtually. As a result, there are many fans present, and their uninhibited conversations can be heard.
"Anthony seems different today!"
"Oh my god, is Anthony changing his route? Why is he so cold today?"
Upon hearing these words, Qin Chu instinctively tensed up, fearing that he might ruin his public image.
Unexpectedly, fans then commented, "Waaaaah, he looks so cute with that serious face, like he's sulking!"
Qin Chu: "..."
Forget it, let's finish this quickly.
He glanced across at the other side; this fan meeting was probably to promote a newly released movie.
So the entire venue was covered with movie posters, and Qin Chu could see the enlarged poster right in front of him as soon as he looked up.
Not wanting to linger on stage, Qin Chu skipped to the next step, answering fan questions and interacting with them.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" he asked.
Perhaps because of his stiff tone, the fans burst into restrained laughter, laughing for a while before finally drawing lots according to the staff's assigned numbers.
Levy craned his neck backstage for a while, his lips curling into a smile that never left his face.
While the fans were waiting for the draw, he turned his gaze to his manager beside him and said, "Hey, find me an outfit."
"What clothes?" The agent was taken aback.
“Just the clothes I usually wear,” Levy said.
Qin Chu finally got to ask a question up close by his first fan.
Because of the holographic mode, fans can have close contact with their idols.
The fan was very excited. She stared at Qin Chu for a while and asked, "Why isn't Anthony smiling today?"
"..." Qin Chu was stumped by the first question.
In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was first adopted, when his adoptive father would ask him why he didn't smile, as if teasing a child.
Since then, General Qin has not encountered a similar problem.
The fans didn't find the atmosphere awkward at all; in fact, they looked at him with a hint of pity: "Is Anthony unhappy?"
I shouldn't say I'm unhappy, right?
It was, after all, a fan meeting.
But when his gaze swept over the enlarged poster across the street again, and his eyes landed on Anthony's smile on the poster, Qin Chu pursed his lips and nodded as if possessed.
"Yes," he said.
The fans waiting in the audience fell silent, while the fans opposite Qin Chu asked with some concern, "Why...?"
The fan stopped abruptly before finishing their question.
To be precise, the entire venue fell silent.
Because another person came up from backstage, blond and blue-eyed, wearing a casual black suit with the collar open, revealing a dark red thorn tattoo on his neck.
Chapter 126, The Sixth Story (10)
Deep, soulful blue eyes, a casual and languid demeanor.
This is Carmelo Anthony, the player most familiar to the fans in the audience.
Fans glanced at Levi in a black suit on the left, then at Qin Chu on the right, whose bow tie was pulled high to his collar and whose hair exuded a cool and aloof aura, and couldn't help but fall into a blissful trance.
"Sisters, am I dreaming? I actually met two Anthonys with completely different tastes!"
"Maybe we were having the same dream..."
"Damn, one's aloof and the other's carefree; the Narcissus banner will never fall!"
The fans below the stage were in an uproar, their confusion and surprise masking a hidden excitement.
Forget the fans, even Levi's manager, watching him walk backstage, was still in a daze. He couldn't help but grab the staff member next to him and ask, "Am I blind? How come he looks completely different just from changing clothes?"
The organizers of the meet-and-greet were also stunned. Looking at the chaos in the room, they didn't know how to make arrangements and even forgot the schedule for the meet-and-greet.
Amidst the stunned silence of the crowd, Levy swaggered onto the stage, showing no discomfort whatsoever from the chaos he had created. He even smiled and waved to the audience with practiced ease.
"Aaaaaah!"
An uncontrollable scream immediately erupted from the audience.
"I bet ten pounds of my own weight that the one coming up next is the real Anthony!"
"Don't judge a book by its cover. What if Anthony is just putting on a cool act today?"
The audience below buzzed with discussion, and Qin Chu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the newcomer.
He and Levi still use their own appearances, but the mainframe probably covered them with a layer of data identification, so the data entities in this world will all recognize them as each other's identities.
However, the main AI encountered a bug involving LeVie, who could change appearances at will, resulting in the bizarre scene of two Anthonys on the same stage.
Qin Chu suddenly understood why the mainframe hated Levi so much.
