Jiang Jinsong: "..."
Zhou Qin: "..."
Fu Shan's words were like a thunderbolt out of nowhere.
Both Jiang Jinsong and Zhou Qin were completely stunned.
At that moment, the inner thoughts of the two men were basically:
President Fu, can you please stop talking like this?Do you really have to shock people every single time?
Their fragile hearts simply couldn't take it anymore.
The two exchanged glances before Zhou Qin finally spoke first.
Clearing his throat, he carefully asked:
"President Fu… are you serious?"
Fu Shan nodded without hesitation.
"Of course I'm serious."
Did Zhou Qin think he was joking just now?
But the next second, Fu Shan met Jiang Jinsong's expression that practically screamed:
No way. President Fu, you can't seriously not be joking, right?
Fu Shan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Then he suddenly smiled.
"Looks like I'll have to show Uncle Jiang and Zhou Qin a little trick."
With that, he turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Moments later, he returned carrying several makeup and styling tools.
Seeing the confused looks on Jiang Jinsong and Zhou Qin's faces, Fu Shan raised the items in his hand and grinned.
"Watch carefully. I'm about to perform a live transformation."
As he spoke, he began working on himself.
In almost no time at all, he had transformed into an entirely different person.
The level of skill was practically magical.
At that moment, there wasn't the slightest trace of Fu Shan left in his appearance.
No matter how hard someone looked, they would never recognize him as Fu Shan.
Zhou Qin and Jiang Jinsong were utterly shocked.
"P-President Fu… is that really you?"
Zhou Qin stared at him in disbelief.
His mouth hung wide open in a perfect "O" shape—big enough to fit an entire goose egg.
My god. That's actually President Fu?
He truly couldn't tell at all.
If he hadn't personally watched Fu Shan complete the transformation, Zhou Qin never would've believed the man before him was Fu Shan.
Jiang Jinsong was equally stunned.
Eyes wide, he stared at Fu Shan for a long moment before finally speaking in heartfelt amazement:
"President Fu… your makeup and disguise skills are actually this incredible? This is unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Jinsong would never have believed such a thing was possible.
It was practically divine craftsmanship.
Yet he had watched the whole thing happen right in front of him.
Fu Shan had transformed himself before their eyes.
After the shock faded, Jiang Jinsong could only sigh inwardly.
Sure enough, his horizons had simply been too limited.
In the end, there was only one conclusion:
President Fu is awesome!
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Just average—third best in the world."
Facing the burning gazes and nonstop praise from his two capable subordinates, Fu Shan scratched his head and laughed modestly.
At the same time, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
[Host, you really showed off again this time!]
Somehow, Fu Shan could actually hear a teasing tone in the usually emotionless mechanical voice.
Fu Shan: "..."
What was going on?
Why did it feel like the system was getting more and more mischievous?
System, you've gone bad, you know that?
Though inwardly complaining, Fu Shan still replied mentally:
Ahem… this is all thanks to the disguise technique you gave me, System. Honestly, you're the amazing one here! System, you're the best!
One should never forget the source of the water after drinking from the well.
To be fair, this astonishing transformation skill truly came from the disguise technique granted by the system.
Even though it was only a beginner-level disguise skill, it was already ridiculously useful.
So praise where praise was due.
Absolutely necessary.
[Hmph. At least you still have some conscience.]
The system's mechanical voice rang out again.
But somehow…
Fu Shan could swear it sounded a little tsundere.
Tsk. This system is getting more and more prideful.
While silently complaining, Fu Shan didn't forget the matter at hand. He turned back toward Zhou Qin and Jiang Jinsong with a smile.
"So, Uncle Jiang, Zhou Qin—what do you think now? Do you still feel that me playing two roles in one production is inappropriate?"
The two immediately waved their hands.
"No, no! President Fu, I think it can definitely work!"
Zhou Qin spoke rapidly.
Jiang Jinsong nodded repeatedly beside him.
"I agree. This idea is completely feasible. There's nothing wrong with it at all. In fact, President Fu, you might even create a classic this time—something people will talk about for years on screen. Hahaha."
Originally, the reason they opposed Fu Shan playing two roles was because they feared the makeup and styling wouldn't be convincing enough.
If the audience couldn't distinguish the characters properly, it would ruin immersion.
But after witnessing Fu Shan's almost supernatural transformation skills firsthand, all their concerns disappeared instantly.
Now that those worries were gone, how could they not support Fu Shan's decision?
President Fu clearly wanted to challenge his own acting ability and create another classic.
He was so dedicated and hardworking.
How could they possibly oppose him?
Of course they had to support him wholeheartedly.
Absolutely.
Unfortunately, Fu Shan had no idea what the two men were thinking.
Otherwise, he probably would've burst out laughing and told them they were overthinking things.
Come on—he had no intention of "challenging his acting skills."
After all, he already possessed the Best Actor-level skills he'd obtained from the system.
That was more than enough.
What challenge did he need?
As for "creating a classic"…
Well, that depended on fate.
He wasn't forcing it.
The truth was, he wasn't working hard or being especially dedicated.
The reason he insisted on playing both the male lead and second male lead in The Legend of Jia Huan was actually very simple…
Cough.
Both the emperor and the prince in the drama shared many scenes—and emotional scenes—with the heroine.
There were even quite a few intimate scenes.
And Fu Shan absolutely did not want Yi Fei filming romantic scenes with another male actor.
Yi Fei's hands could only be held by him.
And if there was going to be intimacy, it could only be with Fu Shan.
That was final.
It was precisely because of this little selfish motive that Fu Shan had firmly decided to play both the Yongzheng Emperor and Prince Guo himself.
As for all the noble reasons Jiang Jinsong and Zhou Qin had imagined…
Well.
It was simply a beautiful misunderstanding.
