Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Wei Jun had only been back in Shanghai for two days when he was notified to audition for the second male lead in "Princess Agents".

"Have you read the original?" Agent Yang Hua rushed over, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"I've seen it," Wei Jun said, handing over a tissue. "Want me to show you?"

Yang Hua paused for a moment, then smiled: "It's good that you have confidence."

"Let's go."

The two arrived at the Yangtze River Economic Park in the CM District in a business van.

As Yang Hua got out of the car, he saw two identical black minivans parked at the entrance. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the license plate numbers and said, "Zhao Liying and Dou Xiao are here."

Wei Jun nodded.

"Go in."

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance, a staff member came over and asked, "Are you from Wei Jun's team?"

Yang Hua replied, "Yes."

"Please come with me to the lounge for a short break. We'll call you when the interviews begin."

Thank you for your trouble.

The two followed the staff to the lounge. When they opened the door, Wei Jun saw a man wearing a blue custom-made suit and a Roger Dubuis watch sitting on the sofa reading a book.

The book is "Princess Agents".

It's Dou Xiao.

When Dou Xiao saw someone come in, he closed his book, stood up, and nodded to the two people who entered.

"They're here for interviews too," the staff member explained.

Upon hearing this, Dou Xiao glanced at Wei Jun and the other person. Seeing Wei Jun's outstanding demeanor and appearance, his expression turned serious, but he quickly recovered and stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Hello, I'm Dou Xiao."

"Hello, I'm Wei Jun. I know you, Lao San, Sun Jianxin." Wei Jun shook hands with him and said the name of his character in his representative work, "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Dou Xiao is not a conventionally handsome man. He is tall, 182cm, with thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, and a long face. His features are not delicate, but rather angular and heroic. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with excellent proportions.

His most distinctive feature is his smile, which reveals 16 front teeth. His signature white teeth, combined with his sunny and clean-cut demeanor, make his smile incredibly infectious.

"I know you too, your song 'The Wind Rises' is quite popular." Dou Xiao laughed heartily.

"You guys chat first, I have other things to do. Oh, by the way, Ms. Yang Hua, please come with me, someone is looking for you." After saying that, the staff member turned and walked out.

Yang Hua gave Wei Jun a encouraging look before leaving the lounge.

"Come, sit down." Dou Xiao pulled Wei Jun to sit on the sofa, then took an unopened bottle of mineral water from the table and handed it to him.

Wei Jun reached out and took it, but didn't open it or drink it.

Dou Xiao smiled as he looked at Wei Jun's wary expression: "I'm curious, we're both competing for the same role, why am I being so nice to you, instead of following the usual entertainment industry practice of tearing each other apart and fighting tooth and nail?"

Wei Jun nodded in agreement. If it were him, knowing that a role that was rightfully his was suddenly challenged by someone else, and he had to compete with that person in an interview to get it, he would have been furious.

Dou Xiao unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, took a small sip, and then said, "I'm not stupid. To be able to fight me at the last minute, this person must either be capable or have connections. And you, you must have both."

Wei Jun remained silent. His acting skills had reached the proficiency level after a 7-day intensive course in "Super Beast Brain." Coupled with "Celestial Transformation," "Jade-Faced Mischievousness," "Twin Thoughts," and his relationship with Yang Hua's cousin, Yang Xiaopei, he didn't know how he could possibly lose.

"Aren't you afraid I'll really steal the role of Yan Xun?" Wei Jun asked slowly.

Dou Xiao shrugged: "If you have the ability, then take it. Anyway, I was invited by Liying. Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as I have an explanation."

Dou Xiao paused for a moment, then stared intently at Wei Jun: "Besides, I might not necessarily lose."

"You're quite interesting." Wei Jun never imagined that such a shrewd man would be taken advantage of by the gambling king's daughter in the future. He could only say it was fate.

"You're not bad either."

"Ha ha."

The two smiled at each other.

Dou Xiao held out a mineral water bottle to Wei Jun, who unscrewed the bottle and clinked glasses with him.

He had already secretly checked the mineral water and found no problem.

"I, Dou Xiao, hope to become friends with you. No matter who gets the role in the future, it shouldn't affect our friendship."

"OK."

......

The audition order was: Dou Xiao first, then Wei Jun.

Dou Xiao patted Wei Jun on the shoulder: "Good luck, I'll go in first."

Wei Jun nodded: "You too."

Wei Jun leaned against the corridor, closing his eyes to rest.

Dou Xiao's advantage is his relaxed demeanor, which is very advantageous when playing Yan Xun in the early stages. In addition, his sunny and cheerful personality fits the temperament of the prince in the early stages. If he were to audition for the early Yan Xun role, he would have a great chance.

However, if the person being interviewed is Yan Xun after his transformation into a villain, it would be impossible to fully portray him in such a short time. Even if it were possible, it would only have the "form" but not the "spirit".

A person's temperament is very difficult to change. It cannot be changed by reading a few books or filming a few movies. It requires long-term accumulation or natural beauty.

Dou Xiao played the role very well in his previous life; Wei Jun will play it even better.

Half an hour later, Dou Xiao came out with a blank expression on his face, revealing neither sadness nor joy, only a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"How is it?" Wei Jun asked.

Dou Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "The director had me try two scenes, one in pre-production and one in post-production. The pre-production scene was fine, but I need to work on the post-production scene a bit more."

"Thanks."

Wei Jun knocked on the door and went in. There were five or six people sitting in the main seats.

Director Wu Jinyuan, producer Liu Yingxuan, founder of Ciwen Ma Zhongjun, actress Zhao Liying, Yang Hua, and cousin Yang Xiaopei.

"Hello teachers, I am Wei Jun, 21 years old, and I am interviewing Yan Xun." Wei Jun bowed.

"Is Xiaojun ready?" Yang Xiaopei leaned over and whispered in her cousin Yang Hua's ear.

Yang Hua nodded.

Director Wu Jinyuan waved for a staff member to deliver the script to Wei Jun, saying in a flat tone, "You only have five minutes."

Wei Jun flipped through the script. Like Dou Xiao, there were two scenes. One was the early part, where Chu Qiao was washing clothes by the river and Yan Xun went over to flirt with her.

Another part is later on, where Yan Xun kills Zhao Dongting in the street and issues a declaration of rebellion.

Five minutes later.

"That's enough, director." Wei Jun had already prepared himself emotionally.

Just as the director was about to start filming, Zhao Liying, who was sitting next to him, spoke up: "I'll join in the scene."

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Okay, let's begin," the director said.

Wei Jun began his pantomime, bending down to pick up a "stone" and shooting it at Chu Qiao.

"She's only just become Yuwen Yue's bedchamber maid, and she already doesn't respect me. Sigh, this family is destined for nothing..."

Wei Jun fully unleashed the power of "Jade-Faced Mischievous" and "Heavenly Voice," completely showcasing Yan Xun's early sunny, confident, cheerful, and mischievous boyish image.

Everyone present sharpened their gazes and began to re-examine Wei Jun.

Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You're the only one who's successful."

"We men of Yanbei, with eagles above our heads, steeds beneath our feet, and open and honest hearts, why don't you come with me?"
