Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 171 If you have power, you must use it

the next morning.

Shen Juan was awakened by the alarm on his mobile phone and climbed out of the bed with great difficulty. He was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower to shake off his fatigue and wake himself up when Tian Xiwei, who had just woken up and was still sleepy, quietly came behind Shen Juan and put her arms around his waist.

"Why are you awake so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer? What time does your crew start work every day?"

Listening to the soft, sticky and wet voice of the girl behind him, and feeling the warm touch against his back, Shen Juan had the urge to fight for another 300 rounds, but considering the tight time, it would be bad to be late on the first day of joining the crew, so he suppressed the primitive desire deep in his heart and said, "Work starts at 10 o'clock, but I have to get to the crew at least one to two hours in advance to put on makeup, and this is my first day in the crew, so..."

Shen Juan suddenly turned around and hugged Tian Xiwei from the front. He gently rubbed her head with one hand and gently stroked her smooth and delicate back with the other hand. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "If you really need it, how about I come to help you solve it tonight?"

"It's OK."

Tian Xiwei rubbed her head against Shen Juan's big hand tenderly, and asked with a smile: "But you did it so many times last night, is one day enough for you to recover?"

"Don't say such things."

"Do you need me to research some dietary supplements?"

"I think it can be possible."

Mature men who have relevant experience will never feel embarrassed about such things. After all, the more operations that buff yourself, the better.

Ren Sicong and Fengfeng are both capable of discussing how to nourish the kidneys in public. Shen Juan obviously still has a long way to go before he can be as shameless as them.

After washing and changing clothes, Shen Juan came out of the hotel room, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, and met up with team members who were ready to set off.

On the way to the filming location, Yang Yangjin started the topic: "What's the matter with the Weibo post you posted in the early hours of last night?"

"Just sharing my daily life." Shen Juan took the breakfast from the assistant and explained calmly, "Didn't I go to meet a friend after the dinner yesterday? Then we went to a baking experience hall opened by a friend of another friend of mine to make DIY cookies."

"A friend of your other friend?" Yang Yangjin looked at Shen Juan suspiciously: "Peng Yuchang's friend?"

Of course she had seen the group photos that Shen Juan posted on Weibo. There were only three people in total who participated in this gathering.

Peng Yuchang, Tian Xiwei and himself.

Obviously, anyone with a discerning eye knows who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, who is dating "secretly", and who is the seemingly light bulb but is actually a wingman used to provide cover.

"Yeah." Shen Juan yawned, chewing the bread in his mouth slowly, and replied: "His college classmate did not work in the entertainment industry after graduation, but stayed in Shanghai to start a business. We just finished recording Longing yesterday, and we just happened to be free today to get together in Shanghai."

"What about Tian Xiwei?"

Although Yang Yangjin is only an agent responsible for handling work matters and has no right to interfere in the private life of an artist, out of consideration for the stability and security of Shen Juan's career development and the impact on her own emotions, she inevitably crosses the line and interferes in matters that are not her business.

"We did stay together last night."

Shen Juan is very frank. If an artist still hides things from his agent, then the work cannot be carried out.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yangjin said in a deep voice with mixed feelings: "Although I know I have no power to restrict you or demand anything from you, this is an extraordinary period after all. If you stay with a female artist like her who has had a scandal with you, it will be easy for paparazzi to take pictures of you, and it will be very troublesome to deal with it later."

“So I just posted the photo on Weibo.”

"Even so, it will still hurt your image as an artist and the enthusiasm of your fans." Yangjin Zhuoma frowned and said earnestly: "You know that fans don't like to see you interact with other female artists, especially Tian Xiwei, but you insist on going against them. Even if you have a suitable reason, it will also dampen the enthusiasm of your fans."

"I know, but I can't just listen to them all my life, right?" Shen Juan looked up at his distressed agent. "Teenagers can rebel against the discipline of their parents, who are their blood relatives and have raised them. What about artists who are in a platonic relationship with their fans?"

This is a conflict of ideas.

Yangjin Zhuoma’s idea is very simple, that is, before she really develops, she needs to please her fans as much as possible and not do anything that goes against the fans’ wishes.

To put it bluntly, it is just a way to please fans.

After all, within just a few months after Lu Han officially announced his relationship, not only did he lose his own traffic, but even the movie he had agreed to star in was snatched up by Shen Juan, who came from behind. This really made many artist teams in the circle very nervous, so much so that they had to be cautious and restrained when promoting CPs with other people, for fear of causing a large number of fans to leave.

They are right to think and act this way.

But Shen Juan is different.

As a time traveler with a clear goal, personal pursuits and future memories, his perspective and pattern of considering and analyzing problems are naturally different from others.

Although I dare not say that what he does is 100% correct, he is the leader of the team. If we don’t listen to him, who else can we listen to? As a leader, sometimes you have to take responsibility alone and make choices that may lead to failure.

After all, he is more accustomed to keeping key balls firmly in his own hands, rather than transferring them to his teammates to bear the pressure, and calling it "I play very reasonably."

After arriving at the shooting location, putting on makeup and changing into school uniforms, and then memorizing the lines and positioning, it was time to start shooting.

To be honest, the role of Qi Ming played by Shen Juan in "Sadness Is Like a River" is not very likable.

Qi Ming is a boy who has always lived in the sunshine. He has a harmonious family and good living conditions. His parents love him very much. He is a typical model student in the eyes of his teachers at school. He usually has a group of classmates around him and has hardly suffered any substantial setbacks.

Moreover, he has a very good personality and almost never has a temper. He is especially caring towards his childhood sweetheart Yi Yao. He often brings her milk and carries her to the hospital when she is sick. When Yi Yao has no money for treatment, Qi Ming even steals her father's money to give her.

But the problem is that although he is a warm-hearted man through and through, he is warm to the extent of "central air conditioning". He is gentle and kind to everyone.

So much so that he seems a bit of a scumbag in the audience's eyes, being gentle and caring to the heroine while having a relationship with the second female lead, making the heroine secretly sad.
Moreover, after the heroine suffered from school bullying, Qi Ming's warm man image disappeared instantly. He even taught Yi Yao a lesson without asking why. He became a bystander who went with the flow and watched indifferently about Yi Yao's experience.

As for the scene later in the plot when Gu Senxiang was killed by a text message, he did not behave like a normal person.

As the most valuable person in the entire crew and an important core figure responsible for the box office, Shen Juan would definitely not allow himself to play the role of a "fake male lead" with overflowing negative attributes.

So after friendly discussions between the two sides, Guo Jingming and Luo Luo decided to give some of the outstanding plots of the second male lead Gu Senxi to the male lead Qi Ming, and then give Qi Ming a few extra scenes to enrich the character image:
We don't aim to make him a perfect and glorious character, but at least let the audience see his good side, making the character look more complex and profound, and no longer the original anthropomorphic silly, naive and mentally retarded male protagonist who is in sharp contrast to the heroine.

If you have the power to add drama, you must use it.

"Come on, come on! All units, pay attention!"

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Shen Juan, wearing a simple school uniform, walked into the classroom which was particularly lively and noisy after morning reading. His gentle scholarly temperament and pure boyish feeling were very eye-catching.

Although Qi Ming has some similarities with Tan Song, the male lead in "So Cute We Are", which is also a campus-themed drama, after all, they were both played by him alone.

But under Guo Jingming's deliberate exaggeration, Qi Ming obviously fits the image of the white moonlight school hunk in the hearts of girls more.

If this was an idol drama, this first scene would probably be enough to keep countless young girls who were stunned by Shen Juan's looks enthusiastic about the drama and continue watching it.

It’s a pity that this is a movie about school bullying, Shen Juan’s role is limited, and the theme is not sweet love, so fans of the show will be disappointed again.

"Why didn't you come to morning self-study?" Shen Juan walked over to Ren Min and sat down, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

On the other side, Tang Xiaomi, who had just transferred to the school, was staring at Shen Juan's profile, in a daze.

When this infatuated look was seen by other gossipy female classmates around him, they naturally made fun of him.

"Qi Ming, he's the idol of our school! Do you know how enthusiastic he was when he gave you your student ID and took you to visit the campus this morning?"

"It means he is responsible." Tang Xiaomi said shyly.

"Yo, you're still responsible, hahaha!"

"Let's study hard, your little skirt will finally come in handy!" Lamu Yangzi, whose real name is Li Jiaqi, was also playing a supporting role in this movie at this time.

"I have to go to the hospital, so I won't attend your commendation meeting." Ren Min said weakly to Shen Juan.

She had been feeling unwell recently and after searching the symptoms online, she suspected she had the disease, but had no idea how she got it and her mind was a mess.

I don’t know how to treat my family and friends.

"what happened?"

Shen Juan looked at Ren Min with gentle eyes, trying his best to show the warm-hearted qualities of the character Qi Ming.

"I just don't know what's wrong, so I have to go to the hospital." Ren Min was worried, "Don't ask."

Seeing this, Shen Juan said no more, but stood up and rubbed her head to show his comfort to her.
