Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Hengdian.

The opening ceremony of "Fighter of the Destiny".

Wei Jun stood aside and watched as a large group of media outlets, including Hunan TV, iQiyi, Phoenix.com, and Entertainment Frontline, gathered around top celebrities Lu Han, Director Zhong, and Nazha, asking them promotional questions that involved giving them red envelopes or making prior arrangements.

Looking at the sea of ​​fans outside the venue, each holding up a light stick for Lu Han, he couldn't help but sigh.

This is what a top influencer should be like.

Meanwhile, almost no one paid any attention to their side.

Not only himself, but also some other celebrities such as Chen Shu, Wu Qian, Yao Di, and Gao Hanyu are in a similar situation. It is estimated that they will have to wait until Lu Han and the other two finish their interviews before a few media outlets come to interview them.

Wei Jun joined the training group a week early, while Lu Han hardly appeared at all. The staff said that the top star was too busy with work to participate in the training.

Look at this, this is what a top star is like. They just don't show up. I wonder if they're really busy. Maybe they won't come to pre-production training when they become top stars themselves.

"Xiao Jun, don't be envious. You'll be just as successful as Lu Han in the future," Chen Shu said confidently.

Chen Shu had a very high opinion of Wei Jun. Unlike Lu Han, who was a pretty boy, Wei Jun was tall and handsome, sunny and cheerful, respectful to elders, polite, smart, and quick to learn.

When she first joined the crew, her acting was a bit raw and immature, but now it's much better and she's improved rapidly.

It wasn't because he made her happy at all.

"Sister Shu, you think so highly of me?"

Wei Jun wondered why Chen Shu suddenly thought so highly of him. Was it because she was the first person to greet him when they joined the training group? Or was it because he had always been good at sweet-talking her?

Wait a minute, everyone in the group has already comforted themselves, they're practically being coaxed into becoming embryos, it's probably just empty talk.

This is Wei Jun's first time filming a movie, and he's playing the second male lead, so he has to take it very seriously.

To avoid situations where senior members of the production team suppress newcomers because they dislike them playing important roles, it is necessary to take advantage of one's seniority.

Some crew members, seeing him as a newcomer with no background, would secretly sabotage him, talking badly about him and spreading rumors. Wei Jun, however, used his high emotional intelligence to get along well with them.

This circle is very superficial; emotions and desires are amplified infinitely.

People who are usually polite and well-mannered will inevitably be corrupted if they don't have a firm heart, and may end up doing despicable things if they stay in this circle for too long.

Fortunately, Wei Jun handled these relationships well, and this situation did not occur.

If the film crew is a small world of martial arts, then Wei Jun is the all-knowing expert in this world. With his good looks, status as the second male lead, high EQ, and wealth, he has joined all sorts of WeChat groups.

The informal work groups for makeup, costume, lighting, photography, action, props, and directing are actually places for chatting, gossiping, and sharing all sorts of rumors and gossip. You can hear all sorts of rumors and gossip from the industry in these groups, including those from the film crew.

Chen Shu pays great attention to skin care. She applies face masks before and after makeup. She doesn't use the makeup provided by the crew's makeup artist; she brings her own. If they don't have the makeup, she will buy it herself.

She usually does some yoga and rarely eats the food provided by the film crew, bringing her own food instead.

Wu Qian is very outgoing and likes to wear white dresses.

She's said to be a bit crazy and speaks her mind. Once, a staff member accidentally knocked over her water glass and was told, "Are you crazy?" Some staff members also said that she was imitating Zheng Shuang's persona to create a genuine and innocent image.

Yao Di was always alone, gloomy and rarely chatted with the crew except for training.

Lu Han hasn't started training yet; the person who came was a male assistant, who, according to staff, looked rather aloof.

Naza comes to train occasionally, but according to the female staff, she likes spicy food and prefers to go braless.

Besides these celebrity gossips, there are also some behind-the-scenes gossips, such as casting directors letting new female actors audition in their rooms.

A makeup artist looks like a man but is actually gay; a photographer likes to secretly photograph women; a lighting technician has a foul mouth...

While secretly observing the situation, Wei Jun also quietly took notes.

When he joined the training group, Wei Jun immediately went to talk to the female celebrities, hoping to trigger the relevant keywords.

Unfortunately, after joining the crew, I discovered that not every female celebrity has a tag, and even if they do, they only have one.

Chen Shu didn't have it, Wu Qian didn't have it, and none of the other actresses had it; only Yao Di did.

[Wei Cao's Favor: Based on Yao Di's "Knowing Three and Acting as Three," it has been upgraded and transformed into an ability that increases the host's attractiveness to widows, married women, and women with multiple partners by 20%]

When Wei Jun saw this entry, he didn't know whether to extract it or not. Was he really that kind of person?

He is clearly a law-abiding, respectful, and caring young person.

However, since we've come all this way, we can't leave empty-handed. We can just leave without wearing it.

"Xiao Junjun, I have high hopes for you too. You're sure to become a big star in the future." Wu Qian made a cheering gesture, her lips puffed out.

Gao Hanyu raised his hand like a primary school student, "I think so too."

Wei Jun waved his hand to stop their boasting, "Don't talk nonsense. There are plenty of media reporters and fans here. Be careful they don't overhear you."

Based on information about the future, I am certain that I can surpass Lu Hanhong, but not now; it will take time.

If the media finds out about my boasts, they'll definitely write nonsense, and I'll get attacked by the "reeds" (a derogatory term for fans of my online community) and those trashy marketing accounts that love to stir up trouble. I don't want to open Weibo and find nothing but criticisms of myself; that would be so upsetting.

They're only saying polite things because they're familiar with me; you'd be a fool to take them to heart.

After they film with Lu Han for a few months and get to know each other better, these kinds of remarks definitely won't come up again.

After interviewing Lu Han, Director Zhong, and Nazha, a few reporters from smaller media outlets finally came to interview him, the second male lead.

The questions asked were all routine, uninteresting, and lacking in substance, quite superficial. Afterwards, he quickly left to go back and write articles to promote "Ze Tian Ji".

After all, they received the money.

Only one female reporter noticed Wei Jun's good temperament and handsome appearance, so she took a few more photos of him.

After the opening ceremony, the process began, including a simple scene where Lu Han made his entrance.

"I might not live past 20."

"No, I have to go and call off the engagement right away."

Wei Jun found a shady spot, took a small stool, and sat down to watch Lu Han and Zeng Aizi "act out" with each other.

I watched for a while and then got so bored I started yawning. There wasn't much to see. I thought I could learn something from it, but it was just so-so.

If one person can't act but tries hard to act, and the other can act but acts sloppily, the result won't be very good.

I'd rather just scroll through my phone.

Wei Jun just took out his phone when a fragrant breeze wafted to his nose.

It has a light vanilla and lemon flavor.

"Hey, are you Wei Jun, the actor who plays the second male lead, Tang Thirty-Six?"

A high-pitched voice came from above.

Looking up, a woman dressed in a moon-white ancient costume, with a hairpin in her hair, appeared before me, looking elegant and beautiful.

Naza?

"Yes, it's me. What's up?" Wei Jun looked her over with an appreciative gaze before replying.

"It really is you." Naza smiled sweetly, her teeth white.

"Oh, you've heard my story?"
