Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Hunan, Changsha, Hunan TV.

Wei Jun arrived at Hunan TV the night before to rehearse before recording.

He followed the staff to the lounge and was told to take a break for now, and that Professor Wang Han would come over later to discuss the details.

A flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall of the lounge, playing past episodes of "Day Day Up". Local snacks, betel nuts and tea were laid out on the coffee table. Wei Jun did not touch the tea; he was not used to drinking other people's water in unfamiliar places.

Wei Jun was sitting on the sofa scrolling through his phone, looking at the compliments from netizens.

Comments included: "Brother Wei Jun is handsome and can sing, what can't he do?", "I admit that Wei Jun's looks are slightly inferior to mine, after all, I am the most handsome man in the world", and "Brother Wei Jun, I want to have your babies".

After watching for a while, Wei Jun straightened his expression. He couldn't get carried away with his success, so he went to read some negative comments to wake himself up.

After reading a few sentences, Wei Jun's expression turned serious.

When Wang Han came in, he noticed that Wei Jun was sitting upright with a serious expression. He assumed that Wei Jun was nervous because it was his first time on a large variety show, so he comforted him, "Little Wei, right? Don't be nervous. We'll take you with us during the recording."

Wei Jun paused for a moment, then stood up. Knowing that Wang Han had misunderstood, he didn't explain and simply said, "Thank you, Teacher Wang."

"Come, let me introduce you to our Tiantian family," Wang Han stepped forward, and several family members stepped forward one by one, "Qian Feng, Da Zhang Wei, Wang Yibo."

"Hello, I'm Wei Jun." Wei Jun shook hands with them and greeted them.

"Hello......"

In just the time it took to shake hands, Wei Jun was able to analyze the personalities of the three men.

Qian Feng grinned and swayed Wei Jun's hand from side to side as they shook hands, making it seem like the two were very familiar with each other. However, his eyes revealed a disdainful look, with the arrogance of an old man looking at a newcomer.

Wei Jun was familiar with this type of person: they were kind and approachable in public, but cunning and malicious in private.

Zhang Wei was completely different on and off stage. He was noisy and boisterous on stage, but quiet off stage, and he was polite to Wei Jun with a hint of aloofness.

Wang Yibo, on the other hand, was curious about Wei Jun.

"Here's the script, take a look," Wang Han handed over a blue folder. "If there are any problems, we can discuss them further. If there are no problems, we can go straight to the rehearsal later."

"We have some things to take care of, so we'll go ahead and call you during rehearsal."

After saying that, Wang Han led the three of them out of the lounge.

Wei Jun sat back down on the sofa, opened the folder, and started reading the script.

The opening act included introductions, a performance of "The Wind Rises," an interview, a skit featuring a domineering confession in a cafeteria with actress Jiang Mengjie, and finally, acting as a member of a dance judging troupe to determine whether an ordinary person was a dancer.

Hmm? Performing a skit? Or with actress Jiang Mengjie?

Was it arranged by that junior editor?

After getting to know each other, Wei Jun tossed the script onto the coffee table and started scrolling through his phone again.

A little while later, a staff member came to call Wei Jun to go to the rehearsal.

T2 Studio.

"Xiao Wei, after we finish the introductions, you can go on stage and sing. There will be no backup dancers, it will be a solo performance," Wang Han thought for a moment, then added, "Of course, you can do so if you need to."

"No need, a solo is fine." Wei Jun thought it was better without backup dancers, as backup dancers would ruin the mood of the song.

Qian Feng chimed in from the side: "Then do we need to lip-sync or use backing tracks or something?"

Wang Han reached out and patted Qian Feng, giving him a look that indicated he had said something wrong.

Wei Jun didn't say anything, immediately starting with zero frames and soaring into a high note: "I was once hopelessly addicted to..."

Wang Yibo's eyes widened, and his mouth opened unconsciously.

Jiang Mengjie, standing on the right side of the stage, cast a curious glance at her.

Da Zhangwei joined in the singing, and after he finished, he looked at Wei Jun with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Wang Han clapped at the opportune moment, then turned around and glared fiercely at Qian Feng: "Look at that, how amazing! Does he need to lip-sync or use backing tracks? Clap!" After saying that, he led the applause.

Everyone applauded.

Qian Feng clapped with his head down.

After going through the process once, everyone left one after another, leaving only Wei Jun and Jiang Mengjie to rehearse the skit.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the two remained silent for a while.

"Stop dawdling, let's begin." Wei Jun broke the silence first.

Jiang Mengjie nodded obediently.

"You, who are braver than anyone else, love me, who is less successful than anyone else."

"Thank you, but I'm also sorry."

"I hope you can be as happy as I imagine... I love you passionately, Jiang Mengjie."

Having mastered the lines, Wei Jun immediately delivered the romantic lines.

"Stop making things up, you can't possibly memorize it all." Sitting across from me, Jiang Mengjie coldly pulled out the love letter.

"Because it has been written over a hundred times, even more than a hundred times... Everyone, stand at attention." Wei Jun stood up.

Wei Jun bent down, leaned close to Jiang Mengjie, and kissed her forehead.

Of course, they couldn't kiss during the rehearsal, as they weren't familiar with each other.

Jiang Mengjie then stood up and said, "Those of lower rank than me, please close your eyes."

Then she pulled Wei Jun to the center of the stage and directly "leg-locked" him.

After rehearsing the scene a few more times, Wei Jun belatedly realized, "Isn't this confession in the cafeteria a scene from 'Descendants of the Sun'?"

"You're only just realizing this now? Silly." After several rehearsals, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Jiang Mengjie began to regain her lively and mischievous personality.

"Why are we doing this kind of skit?"

"It's just to ride the wave of popularity," Jiang Mengjie said, pulling her hair back to reveal her smooth swan neck. "I heard that they invited Jin Goo, the second male lead from 'Descendants of the Sun,' to act with me."

"Then why didn't he come?" Wei Jun stroked his chin. "Is the schedule not right? Did they not agree on the price? Could it be that I took his spot?"

Jiang Mengjie covered her mouth and laughed: "It's really possible. If it's true, be careful of being criticized after it airs. This drama has quite a few fans in China."

"Let them keep cursing, who's afraid of who?" Wei Jun said nonchalantly. He had a nickname, "King of Black and Red," which meant that the harsher the cursing, the more popular he became.

Jiang Mengjie's eyes lit up; she was captivated by Wei Jun's carefree and bold personality.

"By the way, back to the skit we just did," Jiang Mengjie lowered her head, hiding her ulterior motives, "you could have kissed my forehead just now."

After saying that, he realized that what he had just said was a bit ambiguous, and he immediately felt ashamed. He hurriedly picked up his script and pretended to recite it.

"You don't mind?" Wei Jun raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a professional," Jiang Mengjie said, making a fist with her right hand and placing it in front of her chest, mimicking a Young Pioneer member. "This is our basic quality as actors."

"You don't mind, but I do." Wei Jun pretended to be innocent, wanting me to kiss him? No way, he has a status now, he can't just kiss anyone.

Jiang Mengjie stuck out her tongue, looking slightly embarrassed, and lowered her head in fear of Wei Jun, remaining silent.

"Let's continue."

The two rehearsed one more time until Wei Jun's hand touched Jiang Mengjie's forehead again.

[The system has detected the host's first contact with Jiang Mengjie.]

[Jiang Mengjie's talent attribute has been detected]

[One, Twin Lives in One Thought: The host will possess two sides, A, sunny and cheerful, and B, sinister, ruthless, vicious, and violent. The host can switch freely between them. When switching to B, the sense of oppression will increase.]

[Second, Lin Daiyu uproots a willow tree: The host's manual dexterity is enhanced]

Wow, Jiang Mengjie has an entry too.

The twin's thought should be an upgrade and transformation of her outwardly gentle but inwardly strong personality.

After being secretly filmed under her skirt and threatened with extortion, Jiang Mengjie refused to suffer in silence and chose to stand up for herself, earning her the nickname "Young Master Jiang".

Lin Daiyu uprooted a willow tree, which enhanced her manual dexterity. What kind of manual dexterity was this?

"Extract".
