Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

A military training base in the suburbs of Beijing.

Wei Jun carried a wooden gun and ran around the 400-meter track until he slowly stopped after running fifteen laps.

He was covered in sweat, his military uniform clinging to his body, revealing his agile and lithe figure.

Wei Jun's calves were slightly sore. He walked up to the instructor, stomped his right leg hard on the rubber ground, stood at attention, and saluted: "Report, fifteen laps with rifles completed. Please give instructions."

After his vacation ended, Wei Jun joined the crew of "The Founding of an Army" for training.

The training programs include drills, horseback riding, firearms, ideological and cultural education, hand-to-hand combat, and tactical awareness.

Also training with him were Huang Zhizhong, Wang Jingchun, Liu Haoran, Ma Tianyu, Zhang Yixing... Ou Hao also came. He didn't play General Ye as he did in his previous life, but he got other roles.

These celebrities collapsed after running only a few laps. People who don't have a regular exercise routine will experience muscle soreness and find it unbearable once they start high-intensity training.

With the wooden gun weighing 3.5 kilograms, running fifteen laps was a feat that only Wei Jun, besides the instructors, could accomplish.

Wei Jun has superb physical abilities, possessing the power of nine dragons bestowed by the term "perfect boyfriend," making his energy and stamina virtually invincible.

The instructor looked at Wei Jun, who was soaked in sweat but still stood in front of him with great energy, and then at the star lying on the ground next to him. His eyes showed admiration: "Your physical fitness is good. You were a soldier before? You have the temperament of a soldier."

The instructor noticed that Wei Jun had an unusual demeanor, a strong and unyielding military bearing, and assumed that he had served in the army before.

"Report? No, it's just that I longed to be a soldier when I was a child. There happened to be a retired veteran in the village, so I trained with him for a while. In high school, I went to the military training base for military training. That's probably when I laid the foundation," Wei Junli replied.

"You're very talented, you learn quickly, and you're in great physical condition. You could run fifteen laps with weights and still be standing and talking to me. Very good," the instructor nodded approvingly, then asked for his personal information, "How old are you?"

"21 years old."

"Education level? Weight? Vision? Any physical illnesses?" the instructor pressed.

"High school, 70kg, eyesight 5.2, good health with no diseases," Wei Jun answered one by one, already guessing what the instructor wanted to do.

Sure enough, the instructor immediately began recruiting: "You're just under 21 years old. Recruitment ends at the end of this month. If you're interested in joining the army, I'll take you for a physical exam. If you pass, I'll recommend you for the job, and I'll personally guide you."

The celebrities present were all astonished when they heard the instructor's words. They had heard that the instructor who trained them was someone special, and although they didn't know what level he was, it was certainly not low.

Wei Jun stood up straight, hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Thank you for your kind words, instructor. I have now found a profession I love, and I am willing to dedicate myself to it and persevere in pursuing it."

When dealing with genuine soldiers and people who have goodwill towards you, Wei Jun will not beat around the bush, drag his feet, or deal with them casually; he will seriously consider and answer their questions.

The instructor shook his head, slightly regretful: "Since you have a career to strive for, I wish you all the best on your journey."

"Thank you, instructor."

"Your task for today is complete. You can go and rest now," the instructor said, turning to face the group of celebrities lying down. "How long do you want to lie down? Get up and continue training."

Wei Jun left nonchalantly, walking away with an air of nonchalance, leaving behind a sea of ​​envious glances and groans of lamentation.

......

After a few days of training, the official filming began.

"Bang!" Two small torpedoes were thrown into the river, immediately blasting up several fish.

General Ye, played by Wei Jun, and Commander He, played by Wang Jingchun, caught several fish. Wei Jun then gutted the fish, cut out pieces of tender fish meat, placed them in a bowl, added peanuts, bamboo shoots, and pickled vegetables, and finally added piping hot porridge. A bowl of fresh and delicious fish porridge was thus formed.

"Click, that's a pass," Liu Weiqiang shouted through a megaphone, "Fifteen-minute break."

This scene mainly depicts several generals eating fish porridge and discussing matters on a fishing boat.

It's very simple. Basically, you just need to shoot one take and then do a second take to get it right.

Wei Jun walked back to the rest area, took the water Yang Chaoyue handed him, and gulped down a big mouthful.

Lu Han walked over and looked at Wei Jun with envy: "You acted really well."

Lu Han plays a liaison officer; he doesn't have many scenes, and filming only takes one day.

Wei Jun handed the water bottle back to Yang Chaoyue and patted Lu Han on the shoulder: "You can do it too. If you want to work hard in this industry, you need to improve your acting skills."

Lu Han's two most outstanding roles in his acting career are Jiang Yang, the character with thick bangs in "Shanghai Fortress" who was widely criticized, and Xiao Feng, the veteran e-sports player hailed as having the pinnacle of his acting skills in "Cross Fire".

Judging from the result, Lu Han has a little bit of acting talent, judging from the role of Xiao Feng. As long as he finds a suitable role and puts in some effort, his performances will be at least passable, better than many popular celebrities.

Lu Han sighed, "I want to too, but I'm so busy I can't stop. Recording variety shows, releasing albums, holding concerts, endorsement activities, and so on have taken up most of my time, making it impossible for me to settle down and properly study acting."

There are gains and losses. Not everyone has the help of glossary entries like Wei Jun, who can learn acting skills as easily as drinking water.

As a top star, Lu Han really couldn't stop to properly hone his acting skills. By the time he could stop, it was already too late.

"Anyway, you can decide for yourself," Wei Jun snapped his fingers at Yang Chaoyue, who pouted and came over to massage his shoulders. "Let's not talk about this. You're pretty popular lately."

Lu Han gave a bitter smile: "An unexpected disaster."

He's popular, but he's become popular because of the criticism. Someone released a smear article saying that Lu Han played a big shot, and when netizens found out, they boycotted and insulted him.

"It's okay, the criticism will only get louder later." Wei Jun felt sorry for Lu Han. He knew he was in trouble when everyone, including the director, criticized him after he starred in "Shanghai Fortress".

Lu Han threw a punch at his shoulder, but Wei Jun raised his hand to block it. The two of them were bickering and arguing, having a great time.

......

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Wei Jun has already completed all his scenes, including three famous scenes.

"Chiang Kai-shek wants to massacre us, and Wang Jingwei wants to join in the fun, so let's fight!" "Attention! Welcome the Northern Expeditionary Army into the city!" "Don't retreat! Fight them to death!"

These three famous scenes from the previous life are constantly being shared on Douyin, creating a significant long-tail effect.

With these three iconic moments and the phrase "You are my god," Ou Hao has maintained a high level of popularity.

Indeed, for a celebrity to remain popular, they either need representative works and memorable movie scenes, or they need to generate trending internet memes.

Wei Jun brought Yang Chaoyue back to the studio. When his agent, Yang Hua, heard that he was back, he quickly came out to ask him how the filming went and what his feelings were.

"I've felt so much, it's like I experienced it all firsthand. I'm going to write a song to soothe my emotions."

Yang Hua clapped his hands, his face beaming with joy: "Writing songs is great!"

Writing songs is certainly good, especially a hit song. The profits derived from Wei Jun's first song, "The Wind Rises," made his studio very wealthy.
