Chapter 1: The Girl Disguised as a Reporter
Han Yun looked at the face in the mirror that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and his expression became a little dazed.
He didn't look like this before. Yes, he now has someone else's face, but this face is handsome, with clear bones and deep eyes. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is perfect.
It is this face that makes Han Yun sought after by countless young men and women. He just gilded this face to make it look more noble.
No, now he is Han Yun.
He raised his arm, touched himself in the mirror, and came back to his senses.
At this time, the makeup artist next to him put her hands on Han Yun's face, looked at him in the mirror, and said "perfect".
Han Yun's face looked more perfect after putting on makeup, but also more unfamiliar.
Three years have passed. Although he has been with this face day and night for three years, he still cannot really accept it. Another face, another appearance, always pops up, reminding him that he does not belong to the owner of this face.
Han Yun deliberately turned his gaze away from the mirror, stopped looking at himself, and stopped thinking about the other face.
"Recently I've also been following your 'King of Detective'. Can you tell me, who killed that dead female college student?" The makeup artist asked while helping Han Yun with his hair.
"It would be boring if I revealed the plot," Han Yun replied with a smile.
"But the new two episodes won't be updated until next week. This suspense is making me itchy." The makeup artist picked up the setting spray and sprayed it on Han Yun's head, then said, "Actually, I think the guy named Xu Bao in the last case died very tragically. He loved Li Zhenzhen so much, but Li Zhenzhen kept taking advantage of Xu Bao's love for her. When Xu Bao died, I cried so hard. I haven't cried like that in a long time."
A year ago, the director of "The King of Detectives" found Han Yun and said that the male lead in the play was very consistent with Han Yun's image. Han Yun was also looking for something new and wanted to try out the life on the crew, so he took the role.
At that time, he didn't think that the drama would become popular. After all, it was a low-cost, niche suspense and mystery drama. But he didn't expect that such a drama would have hundreds of millions of hits and tens of millions of discussions on the first day of its launch. On the night of its launch, Han Yun's Weibo followers quickly increased by five million.
It is said that the last time someone suddenly became popular like this was Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Sherlock Holmes in the new version of Sherlock. Twenty minutes after the show started, his name was trending on Twitter.
Han Yun became a hot search two hours after the drama was released, with the title "China's 'King of Detectives' Han Yun, even more awesome in real life than in the drama!". A clip of him participating in the "Most Powerful Brain" program hosted by Beijing Satellite TV two years ago was dug out. With the media and netizens' hype, his image in the public's mind has become a perfect idol who is handsome, aloof, and has high IQ and EQ.
"Um... do you have any comments on this makeup?" the makeup artist asked after she had finished everything.
Looking at the mirror again, at the increasingly unfamiliar face, Han Yun stood up, left the dressing table, and said calmly, "Very good."
Seeing Han Yun had finished putting on makeup and was sitting on the sofa watching videos, the temporary assistant arranged by the crew stood up hurriedly, picked up a suit from the side and walked over and said: "This is the clothes prepared by the organizer, you need to change into it."
He took the clothes, walked into the dressing room, changed into his suit, and when he came out again, the makeup artist who had been helping Han Yun with his makeup had already left.
The temporary assistant came forward and helped him tidy up the edges of his clothes.
Han Yun took out his phone and checked. It was 8:00 p.m. The press conference was scheduled for 8:08 p.m., with eight minutes left. After the temporary assistant had arranged his clothes, he handed him a bottle of water and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat. Try not to drink water after you go on stage. We'll go backstage in two minutes and the director and the female lead will be there."
After taking a sip from the water cup, the temporary assistant continued, "Don't worry, all the questions asked by reporters at the press conference have been screened by the organizers. There won't be any tricky ones, and they are all related to the drama. I have been an assistant to many celebrities, especially those who unexpectedly became famous because of a certain work or event. They will be nervous when attending this kind of press conference for the first time. Just keep a calm mind."
"Do I look nervous?" Han Yun looked at the temporary assistant with some disgust.
The temporary assistant was sensible and didn't say anything, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Two minutes later, Han Yun, led by the temporary assistant, walked out of the lounge and walked through the corridor to the backstage of the room where the press conference was held.
The director of "The King of Detectives", Lin Zhi, and the leading actress, Li Simo, were also waiting behind the scenes. After the three of them briefly greeted each other, they waited for the host to invite them to the stage one by one.
The filming of this drama took about three months, during which time Han Yun lived with the director and the female lead. However, they hadn't seen each other for half a year after the filming ended.
The recent drama became an instant hit after it was launched online, and the talents got together to participate in the event.
This so-called press conference was actually a formal meeting with the media to answer and share some interesting stories about the filming of the drama, as well as opinions on the drama becoming a "hit", etc.
Before Han Yun put on his makeup, the organizer had already given him the questions that the reporters would ask, and he roughly knew what questions he would have to answer.
But Han Yun didn't expect that so many people would come to this press conference.
He looked out and found that the entire hall was full of people, roughly estimated to be more than 200 people. There were simply not so many media outlets in the entire Beidu City, nor so many entertainment reporters. I'm afraid that the media from neighboring cities also came here after hearing about it.
Han Yun simply glanced behind the scenes at the more than 200 people sitting in the hall waiting for the press conference to begin, and picked out a "suspicious person" from among the crowd.
Among the many entertainment reporters, there was a girl, who was probably between 20 and 25 years old, with a ponytail. Although her dress and appearance looked no different from the entertainment reporters sitting next to her, she did not communicate with the entertainment reporters sitting next to her. Her brows were slightly frowned, and her expression was a little nervous, as if she was afraid of being discovered and kicked out of the hall by the security guards.
She is a reporter. If someone who has nothing to do with reporters or the media industry sneaks in, it would be difficult for him to hide from the security guards and colleagues around him.
But she is not an entertainment reporter, and her purpose of getting here is different from those of the entertainment reporters around her.
She sneaked in here with her own purpose, but... Han Yun took a deep breath. However, she was too thin and weak to be afraid of danger, nor would she cause harm . But since she sneaked in disguised as an entertainment reporter, she must have a purpose and might disrupt the press conference.
Thinking of this, Han Yun called his temporary assistant and asked him to pass a message to the security guard in charge of the venue, asking him to pay more attention to the girl just in case.
