In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 141 Chen: I’m just greedy, what’s wrong with that?
At night, in the hot spring hotel.

The Pink Panther was busy filming, and Ji Yu was standing topless in the hot spring, showing off his good figure.

This is a benefit for female viewers.

Of course, it is also a benefit for the on-site staff.

Almost everyone in the crew came to watch the fun.

At this moment, Ji Yu felt like a TikTok celebrity filming a borderline video.

But it’s still fun. I can take a set of Japanese photos and have them signed in Japan.

Japanese fans love photo albums the most, this is their star-chasing culture.

Photo albums can also make a lot of money, not less than those best-selling books.

A writer’s hard work in creating something is not as good as a star taking a few photos.

At this point the scene was quickly prepared, with the cameras and lights already set up.

Ji Yu soaked in the hot spring, sitting quietly.

There are no words in this scene, only voice-over. Ji Yu only needs to act out the melancholy handsome man bathing.

After shooting the front shot, the photographer carried the camera into the water to get close to take close-ups.

In short, the photos have to be taken in a sexy way so that they can be used as publicity material later.

At this time, there was a cameraman outside the crowd holding a camera and taking pictures, which could be given to the media as behind-the-scenes footage later.

Later in the film, there will be scenes of the Pink Ladies taking a hot spring bath, which will also be used to hype the news.

The news headlines have already been thought of.

Mainland version: [The crew of Pink Panther filmed in Tokyo, and the large-scale scenes made people's nose bleed. ]

Hong Kong and Taiwan version: [Soaking in the hot spring late at night, Ji Yu shows off his muscles and the pink girl screams! ]

It will definitely attract people!

The mainland should be a little more restrained, while Hong Kong and Taiwan can be more bold, otherwise where will the attention come from?

It’s just a clickbait title, it doesn’t matter.

How can you become famous without hype these days?

If the Internet is not well developed and the news is not explosive, it is difficult for a drama to become known to everyone.

Ji Yu has already come ashore at the hot spring, preparing for the next scene.

The next scene is opposite Chen, but Ji Yu hasn't seen Chen yet.

After what happened last night, Chen seemed embarrassed to face him.

You are still thin-skinned.

But it's better to be thin-skinned. Ji Yu can find a chance to talk to her later. Maybe their relationship will become better.

Ji Yu changed his clothes and waited for a while before Chen appeared. She was wearing a black and white plaid yukata and had black hair tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, which looked very beautiful.

Chen Zhen is very feminine and a very charming woman.

But after seeing Ji Yu, her expression was not as natural as before. She looked a little cold and distant, like a stranger meeting for the first time.

Maybe this was her way of maintaining her self-esteem, and Ji Yu didn't joke with her like he used to.

Chen didn't know what Ji Yu thought of him. Seeing that Ji Yu didn't take the initiative to talk to him, the pressure in his heart was much less, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

I can't even make friends.

I regret it, but unfortunately there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Soon the shoot begins, Ji-woo comes out of the men's bath and is stopped by Chen in the garden.

She looked at Ji Yu with a smile, bent her legs and saluted according to Japanese etiquette, and then began to speak her own words.

Ji Yu listened in silence, his eyes swept across hers, she subconsciously avoided them, and her lines were stuck.

"Do it again."

The director called a stop, saying that Chen's lines were very long and it was normal that he couldn't remember them.

Ji Yu walked back again, and walked out again when he heard the beginning. When Chen started speaking her lines, he deliberately stared at her again.

Chen subconsciously avoided Ji Yu's gaze, always feeling that his eyes were filled with scrutiny and contempt.

I forgot the lines I should have said again.

NG again, start over again!
Chen was mentally prepared this time, thinking that he must finish his lines well and try to pass it in one go.

But this time when he came again, Ji Yu not only looked at her, but also deliberately took one more step forward, so that he was very close to her.

Even if Chen wanted to avoid his gaze, he couldn't do it. He could only look into his eyes. The shame from last night resurfaced, his breathing became disordered, and he couldn't continue his lines.

She felt that Ji Yu was deliberately humiliating her. She felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, and her eyes began to turn red.

The staff at the scene didn't understand what was going on and thought Chen was blaming herself for not performing well, so they tried to comfort her and told her not to be nervous.

Everyone said that she acted very well, but her lines were too long, and she just needed to adjust her state.

Chen felt better with the comfort from others, but she cared more about Ji Yu's opinion.

She was worried that Ji Yu would think she was trying to attract attention on purpose, and that Ji Yu would misunderstand that she was trying to attract attention and was a scheming woman.

I really lost my mind yesterday. She is really not that kind of casual woman.

She hopes Ji-woo can understand her like everyone else.

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Ji Yu, but when she looked up, she saw Ji Yu's expressionless face and eyes without any emotion.

Under such a look, the psychological defense that Chen had built up with great difficulty began to collapse.

It felt like countless ants were crawling on my back.

Ji Yu's eyes seemed to say that she did it on purpose, just wanting to attract attention in this way.

Chen didn't know how Ji Yu viewed her. In his mind, was she a very casual and scheming woman? He must think she was ridiculous.

Chen's tears suddenly rolled down, leaving everyone around him a little confused.

It's just a few NGs, why are you crying? Are you under so much pressure?
No one knew what to do, so they turned to look at the director, hoping he could make a decision.

The director was also wondering what had happened.

I heard Chen getting mad and angry last night. Maybe he really was in a bad mood.

But tonight’s scenes haven’t been filmed yet, so we can’t not shoot them.

When the director was struggling, Ji Yu took the initiative to speak.

"Director, take a break. Teacher Chen may be in a bad mood. Let's wait for a while."

Seeing Chen's expression, the director had no choice but to agree and let Chen adjust himself.

Chen didn't dare to look at Ji Yu at this moment. He wiped away his tears and wanted to find a deserted place to hide for a while.

Seeing this, Ji Yu followed her. He guessed the reason why Chen was in a bad state. He could only say that she was too thin-skinned and thought too much. Go and enlighten her. It is human nature to be lustful. There is nothing to be sad about.

Chen came to a small pavilion, and his mentality couldn't help but collapse when he thought about how embarrassing he was in front of Ji Yu.

Ji Yu appeared behind her at this time, handed her a tissue and said, "Why are you crying?"

Chen's body froze. He didn't expect Ji Yu to follow him. His emotions got out of control for a moment. He turned around and looked at him and shouted, "Are you here to make fun of me?"

Ji Yu said innocently, "Why am I laughing at you? It's normal that you can't remember such long lines."

Chen blushed and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

"How would I know what's wrong with you? I'm not a worm in your stomach." Ji Yu stuffed the tissue in his hand at her and said, "Wipe it off. Your makeup is going to get ruined. It looks really ugly."

Chen didn't know whether Ji Yu was pretending to be stupid to laugh at her or he really knew nothing, but she still took the tissue and wiped her tears.

She sat there clutching the tissue, not knowing what to say.

Ji Yu leaned against the pillar and tickled his fingers. After a while, he asked, "Are you feeling better? If you are, go back to filming."

Chen ignored him, thinking that if she didn't make this matter clear, she wouldn't be able to face Ji Yu.

She took a deep breath, looked at Ji Yu and said, "I don't know if you are playing dumb to make fun of me or to save my face, but I want to make things clear."

Ji Yu shrugged and said, "You tell me."

"I do have feelings for you, but there's nothing to be ashamed of! It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I was just impulsive! You can't treat me as a casual woman, and you are not allowed to look at me with contempt!"

After Chen finished speaking in one breath, he felt relaxed all of a sudden, as if all the shackles in his heart were let go.

Ji Yu looked at her calmly, couldn't help laughing and asked, "That's it?"

"Huh?" Chen looked at him with a question mark on his face. What does that mean?

Ji Yu looked at her and asked, "You are so beautiful. I am very happy that you like me. Besides, I don't look at you with contempt."

Chen was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Then why did you reject me yesterday?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she was too embarrassed to look at Ji Yu. She felt so humiliated.

"What do you want to reject?" Ji Yu looked at her in confusion, then he suddenly realized something and said, "You secretly came back to take a hot spring bath with me last night to seduce me."

Before Ji Yu could finish his words, Chen quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't say that anymore!" Her face turned completely red, as if blood could drip out, and her toes were almost tearing her clogs apart.

It turns out that Ji Yu didn’t think much last night. It turns out that he was overthinking!
When she thought about how she was just imagining all this and how she had just said those words to Ji Yu, she felt so ashamed that she felt like exploding.

This world has no need to exist anymore, destroy it!

Mount Fuji! Erupt! Take everything away!

Chen covered Ji Yu's mouth, and even thought of killing him and burying him.

This way no one would know about her embarrassing incident.

Ji Yu did not resist at this time, but just blinked at her and said vaguely: "If you feel embarrassed, you can ask me to take a hot spring bath tonight, I promise not to refuse."

When Ji Yu was talking, his hot breath made Chen's palms itchy, which reminded her of the time when she let Ji Yu lick her palms on purpose the day before yesterday.

Her shame completely exploded at this moment, and she held Ji Yu's mouth tightly and shouted, "Don't say that anymore!"

Ji Yu finally couldn't help laughing at this time. He broke free from Chen's hand and covered his stomach and laughed out loud.

Seeing him laughing so wildly, Chen was so angry that he wanted to hit him. The two of them played around in the pavilion for a while, and Chen finally laughed. He said unhappily: "Laugh! I'm just greedy, what's wrong with that? Is it against the law?"

Ji Yu suppressed his laughter and coughed lightly, saying, "It's not illegal to think about it, but I'm afraid you will really do it."

Chen snorted and turned away, ignoring him. Ji Yu came up and asked, "Will you really do it?"

"What a beautiful thought!"

"Oh I was looking forward to it, but it turns out you're just a coward."

Ji Yu pretended to be disappointed and sighed, which made Chen angry. He grabbed his collar and pulled him over, then gave him a kiss.

"I kissed you, what can you do about it?" Chen pretended to be fearless, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.

Ji Yu touched his left cheek that was kissed, and then moved his right cheek closer and said, "Come over here, too."

Chen blushed and pushed him away, saying, "I'd kiss you if I didn't. Let's go back to film!"

After saying that, she ran back. Ji Yu stood in the pavilion and clicked his tongue before walking back.

In fact, he could have deliberately suppressed Chen's self-esteem and PUA her, but he didn't want to do that.

A charmer should act like a charmer. What's the point of being a charmer if you lose your self-respect?

After talking it out, Chen's condition improved immediately. He finished the scene that he had failed several times in a row in one go, which made everyone in the crew breathe a sigh of relief.

Ji Yu is really capable. He coaxed Chen into crying in no time. Although I don’t know why Chen was crying, it seems that it has something to do with Ji Yu.

However, these thoughts can only be thought about in one's mind, who dares to really say them out loud?

After finishing his scenes with Chen, Ji Yu filmed a few more scenes before calling it a day.

The following scenes all belong to Chen and Zhang Yan, so he can go to the hot springs.

In the steaming private bath, Ji Yu was thinking about the arrangements for the next few days. If Lao Cai could secure the endorsement as soon as possible, he would still have time to shoot the commercial before returning home.

If you don’t have enough time for advertising, then just focus on recording the single and then find time to shoot a set of photo albums.

Lao Cai said he would come to see him in the evening, but he hasn't come yet. I don't know what he is busy with.

Of course, Lao Cai is busy looking for endorsements for Ji Yu. Just because Fuji TV is making connections and pulling in resources doesn't mean that they will definitely find Ji Yu to be the spokesperson. They still need to communicate with them.

At this time, Lao Cai was meeting and communicating with people from Shiseido under the introduction of people from Fuji TV.

Shiseido's main markets are in Southeast Asia, and it really needs celebrities like Ji Yu to endorse its products.

The communication between the two parties is going smoothly. The basic intention of cooperation has been determined. Formal negotiations will take place tomorrow, and if all goes well, the contract should be signed the day after tomorrow.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Cai came out of the pub and let out a breath.

It’s not difficult to negotiate for endorsements. Ji Yu’s current fame is his biggest advantage in negotiations, so he doesn’t have to spend too much time thinking about it.

The endorsement fee offered by Shiseido was as high as 20 million, which greatly boosted Lao Cai's confidence. He thought about finding ten or eight more endorsements for Ji Yu.

Ji Yu’s endorsement income this year has exceeded 100 million!

International brands like Shiseido can charge sky-high prices, but the same cannot be said for the black tea brand you’ll see tomorrow.

It is a local Japanese company with a small business scope and endorsement scope, so they will not pay too much endorsement fees.

But money is not the most important thing. This black tea brand is very popular in Japan and can be seen in almost every convenience store, which is conducive to the exposure of Ji Yu's image.

Mr. Cai is more interested in Ericsson and Cartier.

This is the real big dog owner. If the negotiations go well, he can get at least 50 million in endorsement fees.

Lao Cai was full of confidence and wanted to go see Ji Yu, but when she found out that Ji Yu was quite far away from her, she had to give up the visit temporarily.

I have to meet with several brands tomorrow. After I’m done with that, I’ll go give Ji Yu a big surprise!
