Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Hengdian in July is scorching hot.

"The meteorological observatory issued a blue high-temperature warning at 4:45 AM, indicating that temperatures will reach above 35℃ in the next two days. Experts advise citizens participating in outdoor activities to take precautions against heatstroke..."

Zhao Liying was scrolling through the weather forecast on her phone.

"I suggest that experts shouldn't offer advice," Wei Jun muttered to himself.

"That's right, that's right." Li Lin, dressed in a pink court dress, held up a large palm-leaf fan and fanned Wei Jun, who was shirtless, while her eyes occasionally lingered on his well-defined muscles.

Everyone was already used to Wei Jun's shirtless appearance. During pre-production training, he would take off his clothes when he was sweating or hot.

In his words, a good physique isn't for himself to see, but for others to see; otherwise, what's the point of working out so hard?

Not only was she watching, but other actresses were also watching, such as Miao Miao who played Jing Xiaoqi, Zhu Shengyi who played Jing Xiaoba, and so on.

Yang Chaoyue, standing next to Li Qin, looked at him with a resentful expression. "You stole my assistant's job. What am I supposed to do? Look at muscles too?"

No, I'm the assistant, I can't watch. I have to find a way to calm the boss down.

The women on set were secretly admiring the perks, while the men were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Director, did you hear that? It's a blue high-temperature warning. How about we skip the outdoor scenes tomorrow and just shoot the romance scenes indoors?" Lin Gengxin held a small black electric fan, which was blowing wildly. His wig and bangs were flying around wildly, looking like the roots on a cricket's head.

Director Wu Jinyuan glanced at Lin Gengxin: "Are you the director or am I? Wei Jun hasn't even said anything yet. At most, you'll be the one with indoor scenes."

Lin Gengxin's character, Yuwen Yue, spends most of his early scenes indoors, unlike Wei Jun's character, Yan Xun, who has to run around everywhere.

The indoor temperature was not as hot as the outdoor temperature, so the crew bought ice blocks in advance and placed them around the room.

After filming outdoor scenes, Wei Jun and Zhao Liying would usually hide behind the ice blocks to cool off.

"Director, if I speak up, we won't have to shoot any outdoor scenes tomorrow. Look at me, I'm so hot I'm shirtless."

Wei Jun took the cool towel from Yang Chaoyue and wiped his body. With the cool breeze behind him, his body temperature dropped instantly, leaving him feeling chilly.

Wei Jun couldn't help but give Yang Chaoyue a thumbs up, which made her smile and show her white teeth.

"Exactly, exactly, Yuan Chun is going to die of heat too." Li Qin looked at Wei Jun, who had a happy face, and fanned the fan even more vigorously.

"No, tomorrow's the big show, no one can escape." Wu Jinyuan shook his head and refused, his attitude firm.

"It's so bitter!" everyone cried out.

"Everyone, the long-awaited chilled watermelon is here." Wang Yanlin carried in a white styrofoam box, followed by several staff members, each carrying a styrofoam box. When they opened it, they found sliced ​​bright red watermelon and some chilled drinks inside.

"Wow, there's chilled watermelon to eat!" The crew members gathered around to receive the watermelon.

Wang Yanlin immediately took out the best-colored and highest-quality slice of watermelon and handed it to Zhao Liying, then shouted, "Today's bill is on Sister Liying!"

The crew members held up watermelons or drinks and shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Sister Liying."

"Sister Liying, you're the best."

Only Lin Gengxin said something inappropriate: "Thank you, Teacher Zhao. Please eat less, Teacher Zhao. I can hardly carry you anymore."

There's a scene in the drama where Yuwen Yue picks up the unconscious Chu Qiao and carries her back to her room.

During filming, Lin Gengxin had to try several times before he could lift Zhao Liying up.

Zhao Liying took a bite of watermelon, chewed it, spat out the seeds at Lin Gengxin, and angrily retorted, "Lin, what kind of man are you? Wei Jun can carry me."

After her outburst, Zhao Liying pointed at Lin Gengxin and started singing: "What kind of man are you, what kind of man are you..."

Everyone ate watermelon, watched the commotion, and laughed heartily.

Lin Gengxin covered his ears: "It sounds awful. It would be better to let Wei Jun sing it. His 'The Wind Rises' is a hit."

"Yes, let Wei Jun sing," Wang Yanlin chimed in.

Zhao Liying stopped and looked at Wei Jun: "Then sing one for me."

"Okay, let's support Wei Jun's singing!" the crew members shouted, especially some of the girls.

Li Qin and Yang Chaoyue looked at him expectantly from behind.

"Alright, since you all support me so sincerely, I'll mercifully sing a song..."

After finishing the watermelon, Wei Jun precisely threw the watermelon rind into the trash can and waved for the staff to bring over a Bluetooth speaker.

Wei Jun asked Yang Chaoyue to bring him his phone, connected it via Bluetooth, and selected a song to play.

"This song is Wei Li-an's 'Girl,' I hope you all like it."

Wei Jun stood on a chair, held up a small black microphone, and began to sing.

"The girl doesn't want to see you suffer the same pain."

"Therefore, learn to spoil them."

"A repeated misjudgment"

While singing, Wei Jun shouted, "Friends in the audience, could you lend me your hands?"

The entire crew raised their hands and swayed to Wei Jun's rhythm. Some held half-eaten watermelons, some held small fans, and some even secretly took out their phones to film...

Wei Jun jumped off the chair, walked up to Zhao Liying, and sang: "A girl doesn't want to see you suffer the same pain."

Zhao Liying covered her mouth and laughed happily.

Wei Jun walked up to Li Lin again and sang, "I'll go up mountains and down to the sea for you, I'll empty my pockets for you."

Li Lin was so moved that she cried out.

Wei Jun walked up to the many girls in the crew, such as Miao Miao and Zhu Shengyi, pointed at them and sang: "For the admiration in your eyes."

The crew's initial irritability due to the hot weather vanished at this moment.

......

In the afternoon, Wei Jun and Zhao Liying rehearsed their lines.

"There are assassins everywhere outside. Even if you aren't killed by them, the emperor will punish you severely." Zhao Liying licked her ice cream while reciting the lines with Wei Jun.

Zhao Liying is the one in the crew who loves ice cream the most, especially in such hot weather, she would eat several a day.

Zhao Liying always gets an upset stomach after eating a few sticks, and it always happens when she's acting with Wei Jun.

Wei Jun was completely numb.

"We can't afford to cause any more trouble now," Zhao Liying said, her eyes fixed on the ice cream.

Wei Jun took a step forward with a tense expression. Zhao Liying turned around, hugging Wei Jun with her left arm and holding an ice cream in her right: "Yan Xun, bear with it, I'm really fine."

"Just bear with it a little longer. We've barely survived, so we have to be careful with every step we take."

"You absolutely mustn't lose your composure because of me..."

Wei Jun felt the chill on the back of his hand and finally couldn't help but complain, "I've lost my sense of proportion because of the ice cream in your hand."

"Haha, sorry." Zhao Liying laughed as she licked her ice cream, glancing occasionally at the discomfitured Wei Jun.

Wei Jun was both amused and exasperated.

After Zhao Liying finished eating, the two officially began acting.

......

While the crew was busy filming, a video clip of Wei Jun singing "Girl" shirtless on set was exposed online, causing a sensation.

[Ahhh, Wei Jun has such a great body! I'm drooling!]

[The person upstairs probably doesn't know, but the show that got me a fan was Wei Jun running shirtless on the beach in a variety show.]

[Hilarious! Wei Jun really loves going shirtless!]

[Of course, if I had a body like that, I'd do the same.]

By the way, are they filming "Princess Agents"? They seem to have a really good relationship.

Please keep an eye on Yingbao's "Princess Agents" and look forward to its early release.

Wei Jun sings well, but he's a really mean person; he points at the girls in the crew every time he sings a line.

I hope Wei Jun can collaborate with Ying Bao on a song.

......

Meanwhile, the popularity of the song "Girl" spread rapidly like wildfire.
