Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

I saw Xu Lu off early the next day. Anyway, I got the money, the keywords, and the person. I was satisfied.

Get dressed and head out to record.

With his handsome and playful appearance, Wei Jun doesn't even need makeup; he always maintains a dashing and clean look.

Go out.

"Hey, why do you have so many red marks on your neck?" Li Qin pointed at Wei Jun's neck.

"Hey, I got bitten by mosquitoes last night. Don't you have any mosquitoes in your room?" Wei Jun rubbed the red marks on his neck.

"No, wait, let me fix it for you," Li Qin took out her makeup bag, pulled out a BB cream, sprayed some foam into her hand, and said, "Look up."

Wei Jun obediently looked up, and Li Qin approached, tiptoed, and carefully applied the ointment.

The scent of the face cream, the smell of the shampoo, and Li Qin's natural fragrance filled Wei Jun's nostrils, making him feel itchy.

My gaze fell downwards, and what came into view was her round head, her fair and earnest face, and the fine hairs that were almost invisible, covered by makeup.

Her skin looks alright; she probably takes good care of it.

The red marks gradually disappeared, and thankfully my skin is fair, so applying the BB cream didn't look out of place at all.

The director came over to discuss today's schedule and tasks.

Wei Jun and Li Lin's task today is to serve as zookeepers at Chimelong Safari Park.

They feed animals such as ostriches, hippos, elephants, tigers, orangutans, giraffes, and pandas.

As the boyfriend, Wei Jun needs to show his boyfriend strength. Well, that's the script, and it's also Li Qin's test for her boyfriend.

During the process of feeding the animals, Wei Jun noticed that Li Qin was adopting a girlfriend's perspective and had high expectations of him as her boyfriend.

Li Qin hopes her boyfriend will be mature, steady, and quiet, especially not tell too many lame jokes.

Wei Jun himself is quite free-spirited and independent.

Mature, steady, and with high emotional intelligence, but sometimes prone to abstract thinking, especially with the entry for "playful and mischievous."

But he doesn't cater to other people's demands; he does whatever makes him comfortable.

Li Lin hopes he will be brave, compassionate, and like small animals, and that he can kiss small animals. Wei Jun feeding tigers meat and having close contact with ostriches is no problem.

But if you ask him to hug or kiss the red panda, he can't do it.

He's a bit of a germaphobe and doesn't like to hold animals close to him. He did it reluctantly when filming the promotional video for the red panda Yueyue.

Li Lin tested Wei Jun's practical skills and attention to detail by asking him to make a birthday fruit platter for the birthday boy, Little Orangutan Shi Mao. Making fruit platters is a piece of cake for Cantonese people.

Throughout the entire trip, Wei Jun was being trained and molded into the perfect boyfriend in Li Lin's eyes.

But he didn't like it. People are free, especially Wei Jun, who was somewhat assertive and valued freedom.

The two had a minor argument after making the fruit platter.

"I feel like I've been being trained by you all day."

"Maybe my expectations are a bit too high, too many."

"If you have a boyfriend and you really want to mold him into your ideal boyfriend, that's fine," Wei Jun paused, "but I can't."

So you're angry?

"You strive for absolute perfection, while I'm easygoing and happy."

Li Lin appears gentle, but is actually a strong, perfectionist, and sharp-tongued person. She's fine as a friend, but would be very difficult to be in a romantic relationship with.

Wei Jun was a playboy; he was the one who disciplined others, but no one disciplined him.

Now he just wants to finish this job well and never see it again after it's over.

My previous idea of ​​just playing around and exploiting keyword tags is gone; it's just too much of a waste of time and effort.

......

The two had a heart-to-heart talk and understood each other's thoughts. Wei Jun could not become her perfect boyfriend, and Li Qin could not be changed.

We can only be friends; we just need to follow the script on this show.

This is also true for most people in reality. They have a very good initial impression, but once they get to know each other for a long time, they can't become a couple because of personality clashes and different ways of doing things.

After the Guangzhou episode ended, the filming moved to Shanghai. This time, the script task was for Li Lin to act as Wei Jun's manager for a day.

If Wei Jun is satisfied with this "agent," he will stamp her name. Once he has nine stamps, the task is considered complete.

This time it was Wei Jun's turn to train her.

Just then, agent Yang Hua brought news of Wei Jun's audition for the second male lead in "Fighter of the Destiny". After Yang Hua's efforts, the production team finally gave Wei Jun the opportunity to audition.

Wei Jun is still a newcomer with no portfolio, so getting an interview for such a big project is already a good thing.

Wei Jun then handed over the task of coordinating with the production team to Li Lin.

"Ah, I don't know how." Li Qin hesitated, lacking confidence.

"Didn't you say that if you don't know how, you can learn? Attitude is very important. Just do what your manager usually does."

During the previous training, Li Lin kept emphasizing that not knowing is not an excuse, you can learn, it's a matter of attitude. This time, the boomerang hit her hard.

Seeing her frown, Wei Jun gave her a hint: "First, confirm the interview time with the production team. Second, suggest to the director team that they do a collaboration with 'Fighter of the Destiny'."

"What collaboration?"

"A male guest on a dating reality show interviewing the second male lead—who wouldn't want such a huge gimmick? It also gives them free publicity."

Wei Jun wasn't sure if they should use this gimmick for publicity. After all, they had Lu Han, so why not give it a try? What if they needed to promote through multiple channels in the early stages?

"Okay." Li Qin accepted the role of agent and immediately got to work.

At this moment, the director behind the camera was shocked. Wei Jun, that kid, is a real genius. He even thought of such a crazy move.

Li Qin will come over later to persuade me. Should I agree, or should I agree?

Wei Jun knew, of course, that what he was saying would be transmitted back to the production team through the camera and earpiece.

His roundabout approach serves two purposes: to enhance the program's appeal and to give the production team a heads-up.

After all, his words carried little weight, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to convince the production team. So he could only show through the camera that if Li Lin went again, this girl still had some influence.

As long as the production team agrees, given the influence of Jiangsu TV and the connections of agent Sister Hua, the producers of "Fighter of the Destiny" will definitely agree.

We can talk about it casually, and the first and second rounds can be broadcast on Jiangsu TV.

Although it may not be able to beat Hunan TV.

When Li Lin returned, he brought back news of the interview time and the collaboration between the program team and the "Fighter of the Destiny" drama team.

As for the original script schedule and Li Lin's "one-day agent" task, there have been some discrepancies. We will adjust them and edit them into one day later.

The day of the interview arrived quickly, and Wei Jun asked Li Lin to wash his hair, blow-dry his hair, and apply a face mask for him.

"Oh, do agents do these things?" Li Qin didn't believe any agent would do these things.

"Isn't this because we're in a hurry? Don't you want the stamp? You don't want me to fail the interview, do you?"

Li Qin was persuaded and followed Wei Jun's instructions step by step.

"This is the first time I've ever washed a boy's hair." Li Lin, her hands covered in foam, stroked Wei Jun's hair.

"It's an honor to have your first time. You should thank me for unlocking your first time," Wei Jun said shamelessly, closing his eyes to enjoy himself.

"Pah, what are you saying?" Li Qin blushed, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip.

"Be gentle, do you still want it stamped?"

After Li Qin finished cleaning up, Wei Jun stamped his seal, and Li Qin smiled broadly.

The two set off for the interview with a cameraman.

Along the way, Li Lin was worried that Wei Jun was a newcomer with little experience in auditions, so she shared all her experience with him and even accompanied him in a short performance.

Wei Jun has never formally acted, but he has a strong ability to imitate. In his previous life, he imitated various anime and TV drama characters on Douyin, which earned him a large number of fans.

What's more, he now has three talent attributes.

"You abandoned me because you thought I was superfluous, but now you come back to me when you need me. What am I to you? What do I have to do with you? I'm only 7 years old, and you abandoned me for this idiot..."

When Wei Jun started playing "Heavenly Voice," he imitated Li Lin's voice and recited her lines from "The Sky We Watch."

"You're amazing, how did you do that?" Li Qin suddenly got goosebumps. It was so similar that if she didn't see the face, she would have thought it was her own voice.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you." Wei Jun suddenly turned his head and pointed at the camera.

Wei Jun shared the techniques he knew, but Li Lin practiced for a while and still couldn't get it, so he gave up.

Upon arriving at the interview venue, I prepared to follow the staff to the waiting area.

stab.

A black Mercedes-Benz pulled up smoothly in front of him. Wei Jun glanced at it and saw that it was Zeng Shunxi.

Zeng Shunxi, wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket, swaggered into the venue.

Wei Jun gave the camera a look that said, "I'm so envious."

The quirky and contrasting nature of the scene made Li Qin burst into laughter.

Subsequently, Wei Jun and his group also entered the venue.

Only two people participated in the final interview today. Being able to secure this opportunity shows that agent Yang Hua is very capable.

Wei Jun was waiting on set, while Zeng Shunxi had already been taken by the crew for a costume fitting and audition.

Since they had nothing better to do, Wei Jun and Li Lin started explaining "Fighter of the Destiny" in front of the camera, launching into a praise session, which was at the request of their production team.

When Zeng Shunxi walked out with a haughty look on his face, it was Wei Jun's turn to be interviewed.

When Wei Jun appeared in front of the "Fighter of the Destiny" production team, including director Zhong Shujia and producer Yang Xiaopei, dressed up as a handsome man in ancient costume, it caused a stir.

Although he wasn't wearing the costume from the drama, the original novel describes Tang Thirty-Six as a handsome, dashing, and debonair character, so the first thing to consider is whether the actor looks good in period costume.

Wei Jun is extremely handsome, and with the added effect of the phrase "jade face," he instantly stunned the audience.

"She looks much better in period costume than Zeng Shunxi."

"Zeng Shunxi looks a bit mixed-race in period dramas, but his body proportions are a bit off."

"Not only is his appearance poor, but his demeanor and temperament are also far inferior. Wei Jun has a proper posture."

"Then let's see how his acting and lines are."

The production team was satisfied, so they gave Wei Jun a script and let him try out the role.

Wei Jun glanced at Li Lin, who was cheering him on, and then looked at the lines.

"Alright, let's begin." Wei Jun had someone put away the script.

"So fast? Should we memorize it again?" Producer Yang Xiaopei had high hopes for Wei Jun and didn't want him to make a mistake later, especially since he was recommended by her cousin for the interview.

Wei Jun's loss of face is equivalent to her losing face as well.

"I have a naturally good memory."

The term "Mr. Numbers" grants the ability to memorize lines.

The selected clip is a famous scene where Tang Thirty-Six stands up for Chen Changsheng and curses at him.

Portraying the character Tang Thirty-Six is ​​very challenging. He needs to be handsome and dashing, like a breath of fresh air, and also unconventional and with a kind of "chuunibyou" (delusional) temperament.

With a sharp tongue, he is Chen Changsheng's best mouth double, able to curse people with gusto and clarity.

Wei Jun's [Jade-Faced Mischievous] and [Mr. Numbers] skills can help with these, and he can even activate the [Celestial Voice Transformation] voice ability to imitate Tang Thirty-Six from the anime.

"We can't lose when it comes to insults."

"You want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Insolence! Insolence my ass! Who do you think you are, daring to deny His Holiness the Pope's just marriage agreement? Do you look down on the Great Zhou?"

"Your Xiaosong family has never been on the front lines, yet you've been more diligent than anyone else in sowing discord between the North and South for your own profit."

"You old bastard, you spout righteousness but are actually treacherous, shameless, and have no shame whatsoever."

When the executives of the "Fighter of the Destiny" production team heard this performance and these lines, their mouths were agape enough to swallow an egg.

Li Lin, who was standing next to Wei Jun, quietly gave him a thumbs up.
