Chapter 1 The Tragic Billionaire Heir
Have you ever seen Lü Bu with long, permed hair, a nose ring, and a dog collar?
Ji Qingxu then met him.
Even though he had been watching it for half a month, every time Ji Qingxu saw Huang Lei's outfit, he would purse his lips tightly, thinking about the fact that he had already transmigrated, so that he would not laugh out loud.
There's even a Lu Bu with this design!
This truly broadened the horizons of Ji Qingxu, a "post-95s" generation.
After glancing at Huang Lei, who was acting on set, Ji Qingxu turned his gaze to Chen Kaige, who was standing next to the camera.
"Lu Bu and Diao Chan", directed by Chen Kaige, starring Huang Lei and Chen Hong.
This is the film crew that Ji Qingxu is currently in.
Looking at Chen Kaige, who was calmly watching the performance, Ji Qingxu had a question in his mind: had the play "Farewell My Concubine" exhausted all of Chen Kaige's talent?
It's no wonder that Ji Qingxu secretly slandered one of the most famous directors in China.
But looking at Huang Lei's thin arms and legs, his height of about 170 cm, and his "non-mainstream" style, if you were to tell someone that this is Lu Bu, most people would probably think you're making it up.
Just thinking about all the familiar faces he'd seen on set over the past two weeks, even if Ji Qingxu didn't recognize them all, the fact that so many "famous" actors could be gathered together in a TV drama crew clearly meant it wasn't some amateur production.
But this made Ji Qingxu feel even more surreal.
As a member of the "post-95s" generation, I am also a keen internet surfer.
Ji Qingxu often sees comments online that say, "It's unbelievable that people born in the 80s and 90s have been eating so much 'fine chaff,' while we, the post-95s and post-00s, have been watching such garbage!"
Such comments can be seen from time to time in various film and television comment sections.
Many people say that Chinese films and television dramas before 2010 were so classic, with their plots, characters, and costumes far surpassing those of later productions.
But thinking about what he had seen and heard on set over the past two weeks, and glancing around at the somewhat "rudimentary" film set, Ji Qingxu felt a strange sense of amusement.
......
"Cut!"
Upon hearing the assistant director announce a ten-minute break, Ji Qingxu quickly went to greet a burly, dark-faced man walking towards him from the film set.
"Senior brother, have some tea!"
Seeing his junior brother's eager expression, Kou Zhanwen subconsciously leaned back. "Little chicken, trying to get special treatment again?"
Ji Qingxu smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "Senior brother, you have a good eye for people."
Hearing his junior brother's "frank" words, Kou Zhanwen chuckled and opened his thermos. "Alright, let's go out for a meal after I finish work."
"Thank you, senior brother."
......
Evening at a food stall in Hengdian World Studios.
Seeing Ji Qingxu put down the large soup bowl and wipe his mouth, Kou Zhan asked, "Little chicken, are you full?"
Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother. I'm full."
There was enough food for ten people on the table, plus staple food. I ate three bowls of rice, and my junior brother ate the rest.
Thinking of his junior brother's suddenly increased appetite over the past ten days since he woke up from the hospital, Kou Zhanwen couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Little chick, how are you feeling?"
Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, senior brother, I'm fine. I'm probably just growing, so I'm eating a lot."
"Growing up too..."
Thinking that Ji Qingxu was only seventeen years old this year, Kou Zhanwen opened his mouth and then closed it again. Yes, seventeen years old is the age when you can eat a lot. He himself could eat a lot when he was seventeen or eighteen, although he didn't eat as much as his junior brother.
Remembering that the hospital in Wuzhou had said he was fine, Kou Zhanwen temporarily put aside his worries and decided to leave it at that for now, and get a proper check-up when he returned to the capital.
"Alright, let's go."
"Senior brother, I've made you spend money again today."
"Hey, how could a few meals bankrupt your senior brother? As long as you don't get sick, eat whatever you want."
"Senior brother, you're so generous!"
"Hahaha!"
......
Back in the hotel room, Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "Senior brother, you go first."
"OK."
After Kou Zhanwen took the clothes and went into the bathroom, Ji Qingxu glanced around the room.
A double room, approximately 20 square meters.
The environment was no different from that of a regular budget hotel, but for the film crew, this was already considered very good. If it weren't for Kou Zhanwen playing Zhang Fei in this "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" series, even though his role wasn't large, he would still be a major supporting character. In addition, Kou Zhanwen was also the action director for this film, Ji Qingxu wouldn't have been able to get a double room, let alone a four-person room. He might have had to sleep in a dormitory.
He walked to his bedside, lay down, and took out a rather old-fashioned cell phone.
Looking at the Nokia 3310 in his hand, with its blue body and silver buttons, Ji Qingxu felt a pang of emotion. He hadn't seen such an "old" phone in many years.
However, even this "old" phone cost Ji Qingxu a huge sum of 1500 yuan.
This phone's status in 2001 was equivalent to that of well-known brands like Huawei and Apple, worth tens of thousands of yuan, in 2025.
After flipping through the phone book and staring at the few phone numbers inside for a while, Ji Qingxu opened the game "Snake II".
Ten minutes later, with a "whoosh," the bathroom door opened.
"Little chick, go wash up."
"Okay, senior brother."
After Ji Qingxu finished speaking, he threw his phone on the bed, picked up his clothes, and headed towards the bathroom.
......
After closing the bathroom door, Ji Qingxu walked to the mirror and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror. Even though she looked at it several times a day, Ji Qingxu still couldn't help but touch it with her hand.
"This face is really pleasing to the eye."
Ji Qingxu has a gentle face that makes people feel very comfortable. He is very approachable and kind.
However, when Ji Qingxu raised his eyebrows and made an angry expression, his appearance immediately became somewhat "fierce and menacing".
"Damn, looking like that, you wouldn't even need makeup to play a psychopath."
After making a self-criticism, Ji Qingxu took off his clothes again.
"He's 178cm tall, with a well-proportioned physique, smooth lines, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a balanced build. If he took a walk around the gym with those eight-pack abs, the guys would probably be lining up to ask for his contact information."
Looking at himself in the mirror, although his body wasn't as muscular as an adult man's, Ji Qingxu hadn't achieved the same results even after five years of continuous training in the gym in his previous life. He was truly blessed with extraordinary talent.
"call!"
Ji Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief; only his face and physique were decent.
Two weeks ago, Ji Qingxu woke up in a hospital bed and found that he had traveled through time, from 2025 to 2001.
For Ji Qingxu, born in the 95s, the idea of time travel only caused her some initial confusion. After receiving the original owner's memories, Ji Qingxu gradually adapted.
The original owner was from Lion City, Hebei Province. His parents died in an accident when he was young, and he was raised by his grandparents.
My grandmother passed away when I was in junior high school, and my grandfather passed away when I was in high school.
Not long after starting high school, the original owner dropped out and went to Beijing to stay with his grandfather's good friend, Wu Bin, who was the famous head coach of the Beijing martial arts team and the instructor of Li Lianjie, Wu Jing, Zhen Zidan, and others. Singapore is the hometown of Chinese martial arts, and the original owner's grandfather was also a martial arts master.
Because he had practiced martial arts since childhood and was influenced by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and others, the original owner also had a "kung fu star dream".
So Wu Bin entrusted his old friend's only grandson to his student Kou Zhanwen for help. So far, the original owner has been working as a stuntman and extra for two years.
As for Ji Qingxu, he was celebrating his thirtieth birthday before he transmigrated, and when he woke up, he found himself in a different world.
Ji Qingxu was a "second-generation demolition beneficiary." Before Ji Qingxu transmigrated, his family owned 30 houses, 20 shops, and more than 1 million yuan in cash deposits. They also had 30 kilograms of gold in a bank safe deposit box (10 kilograms each for Ji Qingxu and his parents). As for whether there were any other family assets, Ji Qingxu didn't know. This was the information his parents told him.
Thinking of his parents' age, Ji Qingxu put aside his worries. The two elders were only in their early fifties and had so much money. It shouldn't be a problem for them to have a second child.
After staring at "himself" in the mirror for a while, Ji Qingxu smiled nonchalantly. Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it and then went to the side to wash up.
