Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

After the new song was recorded, Wei Jun took Xu Lu home.

Wei Jun was driving when he heard Xu Lu complaining.

She's been quite popular these past few months. Her conversation with Wei Jun in a dating reality show at the end of February, where they swapped genders, sparked a wave of buzz.

Mentioning her reminds me of her description of Xu Lu as "helpless like a man."

In April, Jin Xing revealed on the Jin Xing Show that a certain popular actress acted arrogantly and recited lines based on numbers.

They never read the script, had their personal assistants rehearse lines with veteran actors, used numbers instead of dialogue during filming, and relied entirely on post-production dubbing.

At first, netizens speculated that it was Liu Shishi or Tang Yan, but soon a strange rumor blew up and pointed to Xu Lu, saying that she acted like a diva in "Empresses in the Palace" and said the lines were made with numbers.

Even after she clarified, the haters, followers, and uninformed netizens still wouldn't let her go, hurling insults at her on various platforms.

At that time, Xu Lu would call Wei Jun almost every night for comfort.

Despite being criticized, he still maintained a high level of popularity, which led to his becoming a regular guest on the show "Let's Date, Big Star".

She has won many accolades for her straightforward, cute, and outgoing tomboy image.

In June, Huang Jingyu, one of the regular guests on the show "Let's Date, Big Star," had his team promote a romantic pairing between him and Huang Jingyu.

In the show, Huang Jingyu asked Xu Lu to massage his legs for a study task. While she was doing the massage, his hand slipped and he almost fell on top of her.

Then he openly took advantage of her.

Netizens are calling Huang Jingyu a "salty fish".

In an attempt to shed their negative image, Huang Jingyu's team came up with the terrible idea of ​​creating a romantic pairing between the two, releasing press releases online about their relationship.

In particular, the clip of the two trying on wedding dresses for a couple who regretted not having a wedding was spread all over the internet.

"Super sweet subway couple," "Netizens say this couple is so sweet it hurts their teeth"...

Xu Lu didn't want Wei Jun to misunderstand, so he issued a statement to clarify, but it was overwhelmed by a bunch of press releases from Huang Jingyu.

Wei Jun was overjoyed at the time, and was looking forward to using this incident to get rid of this clingy person.

Xu Lu immediately rushed to Shanghai, carrying a large number of valuables, and knelt down to beg.

Wei Jun had no choice but to soften his heart.

"Ugh, I have to go to work again tomorrow." Xu Lu picked up the cushion from the passenger seat, put it in her arms, and started punching it repeatedly.

"Tch, Versailles again," Wei Jun glanced at it, "I wish I could work as much as you."

Xu Lu is a workaholic. After finishing filming "Subtraction Life" with Wei Daxun at the beginning of the year, he immediately joined the cast of "Ink Traveler".

After filming wrapped, she took on the variety show "Let's Date, Big Star", followed by "Our Shining Days", "Candle in the Tomb: The Weasel Grave" and "Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy".

With such a packed schedule, being with Wei Jun is practically like a vacation.

However, she only had many job opportunities in the last few years. In a few more years, when the overall economic situation worsens, she will find herself with no roles to play.

"I urged you to take the role in 'Let's Date, Big Star,' but you refused."

When Wei Jun was filming "Fighter of the Destiny", he was recommended by Xu Lu to Xie Dikui, the director of "Let's Date, Big Star".

The director was very satisfied with Wei Jun's performance on the variety show and extended an invitation to him.

But at that time, Wei Jun's scenes were at a crucial stage, and he couldn't leave.

He didn't have the star power to take time off every week to record variety shows, so he declined Xie Diqiu's invitation.

Wei Jun didn't feel regretful. It wasn't a hugely popular variety show like Running Man or Go Fighting!, so he could just refuse.

"I was busy filming back then, and I didn't want to juggle multiple projects at once," Wei Jun shook his head.

"Is 'Our Shining Days' coming?" Xu Lu turned to look at Wei Jun. "Edko Films is preparing for this movie, and there will be auditions in a while."

"You talk like you're sure you'll get the job," Wei Jun chuckled.

In my past life, I watched an interview with the director. When I first saw her, her ancient and modern costumes were too mature and did not fit the image of a young girl.

She only managed to land the role after multiple interviews.

"Our Shining Days" is indeed a good film, but unfortunately it was outcompeted by "Wolf Warrior 2" and was utterly defeated.

"Hmph, I'll definitely pass the interview," Xu Lu said, raising his head. "How about we make a bet? If you lose, you have to promise me one thing."

"I never make bets," Wei Jun stated firmly, refusing the offer.

Based on her future trajectory, she's sure to get the job, so why make a bet? Isn't that just asking for a loss?

"Tch," Xu Lu glared, "Drive faster."

"Why are you driving so fast? Drive safely."

"No wonder you always take such good safety precautions," Xu Lu scoffed.

Wei Jun replied, "Driving is unsafe, and two lines of tears flow."

"Hurry up, I'm getting angry."

"What's the rush?"

"Or I'll lie down."

Wei Jun sped up and headed home.

......

The next day.

Cloudy coffee shop.

Wei Jun leisurely sipped his coffee, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

After filming "Fighter of the Destiny", he went straight back to Shanghai to discuss the song with Mao Yucheng. After that, he practiced and recorded the song for many days.

Wei Jun's body could withstand the strain, but his mind never relaxed.

I feel like I was too busy with work before, and I can't imagine how busy I'll be when I become a top star.

Think about the top actresses and male stars of later generations, such as Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan. Apart from attending business activities, they spend all their time on film sets.

I didn't find out that she was dating or anything. Yang Zi even said that she wanted to work hard and quit pornography.

It's terrifying to even think about.

Wei Jun decided to give himself a long vacation after each filming session.

Soon, a woman in a light-colored suit sat down in front of Wei Jun. Her face was serious and strong, and her temperament was resolute, giving her the appearance of a strong woman.

"Sister Hua, you're here," Wei Jun nodded slightly and greeted her. "Please have a seat. I ordered you coffee, no sugar."

Then, he waved to the waiter to bring him coffee.

"Thank you," Yang Hua said, picking up her coffee and taking a small sip. The bitter taste exploded in her mouth, instantly energizing her.

"What are your thoughts on the promotion and publicity of 'The Wind Rises'?" Wei Jun went straight to the point.

Yang Hua put down his cup, paused for a moment, and sorted out his thoughts before speaking: "Lu Han said he would help you promote it, but I guess he'll just post something on Weibo."

"There aren't that many stupid people in the world who would spend money and connections to help you promote your product."

"When the song becomes a hit, he becomes famous, and he makes money, what will he think? What will his management company think?"

"We pay a huge price but gain nothing, and we even create a potential rival."

Wei Jun remained silent. He had known this all along; he was just trying to get people to spend a huge amount of money to promote his idea of ​​pursuing a girl.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Unless this is a business deal.

We could have Lu Han cover the song; that would be more effective for promotion than simply reposting on Weibo.

Lu Han does have singing skills. If she lowers the key and changes the arrangement, she should be able to sing this song well.

Lu Han also recommended Feng Hua Qiu Shi, the record company that collaborated with Wei Jun on his first album in mainland China. Yang Hua had already checked it out and confirmed that Wei Jun's talent was unquestionable.

The fees are high, and the service is bad.

Other artists collaborate with top stars like Lu Han and the Black Panther Band. Wei Jun is a newcomer, and this is only his first single, so he's not very interested.

They might as well use their own industry connections to do it.
