Chapter 56

In a world, there are two, or even three people who are not related by blood but look very similar, and this is quite normal.

However, when all the residents of an apartment complex have similar-looking counterparts outside, that is very abnormal.

Everyone in the entire apartment complex would likely be taken away by the Abnormal Research Institute for study. Zeng Xiaoxian’s dream of becoming a celebrity would be shattered, and the rest of his life would be spent in a laboratory.

"Hmm, we do look quite similar. It seems I really have the potential to be a star. Too bad, he’s not as handsome as me," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a raised eyebrow, delighted, because his face had already made him a star.

"Chen He is much younger and handsomer than you," Hu Yifei countered, striking a blow. In the Love Apartment, Zeng Xiaoxian was already approaching 30, while Chen He was only about 20.

Most importantly, Zeng Xiaoxian had integrated his lewdness into every word and action. Even when he was being serious, he exuded a despicable aura that made people want to punch him.

"Hmph, he’s just an unknown minor celebrity," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a mix of sorrow and jealousy. It was infuriating that Chen He’s name could be found on Baidu, while he, a well-known midnight radio host with a large fan base, could not be found there.

"Alright, Zeng Xiaoxian, be quiet for a moment. Tell me about your specialties. I need to create a celebrity plan based on your strengths," Zhou Yang said, stopping him. They needed to focus on Zeng Xiaoxian’s training plan first.

"Specialties? I have many," Zeng Xiaoxian said, his face lighting up. This was a chance to let the people in the apartment really understand his charm.

"My singing voice is just a little bit worse than Jacky Cheung’s, my acting is just a bit worse than Chow Yun-fat’s, and my handsomeness, no one in this world is as handsome as me," Zeng Xiaoxian said confidently.

"Alright, everyone, go back to what you were doing. Zeng Xiaoxian hasn’t woken up yet, don’t disturb his sleep," Hu Yifei said, getting up to leave.

The others also looked at him with disdain.

"Don’t go, everyone," Zeng Xiaoxian called out, "I’ll tell you about a real specialty of mine."

Hu Yifei and the others stopped, looking at Zeng Xiaoxian with suspicion.

"I can stay in bed for a month without getting up," Zeng Xiaoxian said proudly, considering it a miracle he had created.

"Alright, Zeng Xiaoxian, can you sing?"

Zhou Yang didn’t let Zeng Xiaoxian clown around anymore. He had originally planned to have him read "The Tomb Raider" or "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the midnight radio, but the author wrote it in 2006, which gave him a bit of a headache.

"I am a good man, and I am Zeng Xiaoxian. Now I will bring you a song by Jacky Cheung, 'Ice Rain,'" Zeng Xiaoxian said excitedly, and then started singing.

"I thought if I sang with all my heart, you would care a little more about me..."

"Shut up!" Hu Yifei said with a grim face, leaving Zeng Xiaoxian at a loss, and he quickly closed his mouth.

"Should we start with a movie?" Zhou Yang thought, considering that regardless of his singing, Zeng Xiaoxian’s performance was so bad that it was as if he was playing with people’s lives.

However, making a movie is very complicated, requiring a lot of time, manpower, and resources, as well as extensive connections.

Although he could expand his network through the system, the cost would far exceed the value Zeng Xiaoxian could bring, making it a losing proposition.

"Ah... Hu Yifei, in your opinion, what acting talent does Zeng Xiaoxian have?" Zhou Yang asked, turning to Hu Yifei, who knew Zeng Xiaoxian best.

"What acting talent?" Hu Yifei said without hesitation, "Of course, he has one, and that is telling jokes. His face is a joke itself."

Zeng Xiaoxian’s excited expression froze, "Hu Yifei, I want to duel with you."

"Are you sure you want to duel with me?" Hu Yifei clenched her fists, making a cracking sound, which made the others in the apartment change their expressions.

Lü Ziqiao, who had originally planned to make Hu Yifei his prey, felt relieved, secretly thanking his luck. He never expected this seemingly cool and beautiful woman to be a living violent maniac. His small frame still had a lot of adventures to go through, and he couldn’t afford to be cut short.

"Ah!"

Zhou Yang sighed deeply. He had thought this would be an easy deal, using entertainment and culture from a decade ahead of this world to make Zeng Xiaoxian a star, which should have been a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, everything was too late. It wasn’t that the enemy was too strong; it was that his teammates were not on the same page.

"What should I do?" Zhou Yang sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked, looking nervous.

Looking at Zeng Xiaoxian’s expectant face, Zhou Yang couldn’t bear to say, "There are too many ways to make you a star. I don’t know which one to choose. Let me think about it."

"Let’s go, I’ll treat you at Xiao Nan Guo," Zeng Xiaoxian said, raising his eyebrows. No matter what, he couldn’t hide his pride. Having too many strengths was a problem.

The others, of course, didn’t hold back, and they had a big feast at Zeng Xiaoxian’s expense. However, Zeng Xiaoxian didn’t feel a bit of pain and even added more good dishes.

After a big meal, they went to a karaoke bar and sang for a long time before returning to the Love Apartment.

After returning to the Love Apartment, Zhou Yang and Bulma went to bed. The time difference between the two worlds was significant, and it was already midnight in Zhou Yang’s world.

The next morning, when Zhou Yang woke up, he found Zeng Xiaoxian in the living room, not pretending, but really reading "An Actor Prepares" seriously.

"Good, you’ve made progress," Zhou Yang nodded, respecting those who were willing to work hard. "I’ll give you a list of actors and their addresses. We’ll find these people and make a movie."

Zhou Yang said this, leaving Zeng Xiaoxian, who was excited, and returned to the Multiverse Tower. He downloaded a list of stars who were not yet famous in 2009 but would become big names in the future, as well as a few scripts, before returning to the Love Apartment.

Zhou Yang even shamelessly added Chen He’s name to the list. After a long discussion with the people in the Love Apartment, they decided on the script "Old Boy," which was perfect for the Chopsticks Brothers.

He had planned to go with Zeng Xiaoxian to meet these future stars, but he received a notification from Gao Yao.

The Eight-Nation Alliance was about to gather!
