Who would have thought that Li Gouzi, someone even half of the criminal law couldn't absolve, would be completely redeemed by a certain male artist so ugly he wouldn't even mention his name, gaining millions of followers overnight.
Many viewers commented, "No matter how scummy Li Gouzi is, he's at least a handsome dog."
This goes to show how important beauty is for an actor.
Therefore, for the filming of "Heavenly Sword Heroes," the male lead must be handsome, handsome, and handsome – I can't stress that enough.
Guan Suyun smiled, "What a coincidence, we're on the same page. When I first fell in love with this story, I kept thinking that if it were made into a TV series, the male lead absolutely had to be a strikingly handsome actor. Otherwise, the audience wouldn't accept it. I've already found the perfect candidate for the male lead, a real stunner. You'll be satisfied!"
Jiang Ling asked curiously, "Who did you find?"
Guan Suyun said, "Meng Chenxi!"
"Meng Chenxi?"
Upon hearing the name, Jiang Ling was first taken aback, then exclaimed, "The Prince of Ancient Costumes, Meng Chenxi?"
Guan Suyun nodded emphatically, "That's right, him!"
Meng Chenxi is the top star of Miaofeng Entertainment, one of the top five entertainment agencies in the country. He excels in singing, dancing, and acting, making him a rare all-around actor in the industry.

Although he's over thirty now, his looks are still top-notch, he has a massive fanbase, and immense appeal.
In fact, when it comes to facial features, Meng Chenxi isn't outstanding among A-list actors; he's even a bit lacking.
But sometimes, faces are just that magical.
Meng Chenxi looks rather ordinary in modern attire, handsome enough, but quite plain.
However, once he dons ancient costumes, it's like he has a new face, his attractiveness skyrocketing, making him devastatingly handsome and unforgettable.
This almost cosmetic-level transformation has always been a mystery in the entertainment industry.
Many people can't understand why, with the same face, there's such a huge difference between his ancient and modern looks.
Meng Chenxi himself knows that his looks don't stand out in modern dramas. For over a decade since his debut, he has specialized in ancient roles, portraying many characters that have left audiences in awe, earning him the moniker 'Prince of Ancient Costumes.'
Jiang Ling realized, "So it's him. His ancient costumes are indeed incredibly handsome, and he certainly fits the role of Xiao Ting/King Abhiro, who is both righteous and evil. But I heard his schedule is packed, with projects booked three years in advance. Can you get him?"
Guan Suyun smiled, "There are very few people in this industry I can't get. As long as you throw enough money at it, they'll come, right?"
Jiang Ling also smiled, "Indeed, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem at all."
One has to admit, having money is great!
With a series of her "superpower" maneuvers, Guan Suyun had Meng Chenxi arrive at the set by plane to meet Jiang Ling.
Meeting Meng Chenxi up close, Jiang Ling scrutinized him and finally understood why Meng Chenxi was so stunning in ancient costumes yet so ordinary in modern wear.
Meng Chenxi has a short head-to-body ratio and a rather square face. In modern attire, these flaws are exposed without mercy.
Ancient costumes, with their long robes, flowing clothes, and long hair, have the effect of modifying the figure and smoothing out the contours, allowing him to highlight his strengths and conceal his weaknesses.
Coupled with Meng Chenxi's well-proportioned features, which align with the most traditional ancient aesthetic of three-courts and five-eyes, wearing ancient costumes naturally makes him look like he's had a makeover.
Jiang Ling had seen Meng Chenxi in ancient costume on television before, and it had indeed left a deep impression. He was incredibly handsome.
He's sufficient for playing Xiao Ting, but the question is about his acting skills.
