Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 10 Springtime Backstage at the Fashion Show

[Today's News 01 (Blue): There is a Hema gift card worth 1 yuan in seat K of Wanda Cinema Hall 3 next to the HiSilicon film studio.]

The HiSilicon film set—isn't that where I'm going in a bit?

If things aren't too busy on set this afternoon, I could go watch a movie with Lao Yang.

I just don't know if this card will last until I can pick it up myself.

[Today's News 02 (Green): A certain Xiaohongshu blogger will place a CCD point-and-shoot camera as a city gift in the green belt of Haihe Road Metro Station Line 2 at 5:30 PM.]

This is alright. Lin Qingsong usually follows some bloggers who give out freebies on social media platforms.

It's a pity I've always missed out on these gifts; I can't miss them this time.

The Haihe Road subway station is near the film set. You can easily take a taxi there first, pick up the gift, and then walk to the film set.

[Today's News 03: Inside the model apartment, Elena boasts about her good relationship with Lin Qingsong, which ignites the competitive spirit of another female model, who plans to find an opportunity to directly win over agent Lin Qingsong.]

???

Who is this female model?

Why don't you display such a critical information system?

[Today's News 04 (White): Dada Taxi APP is rewarding its loyal users; anyone taking a ride before 8:00 AM today can receive a 10 RMB coupon.]

better than nothing
If I take a taxi to the film set, the producer will reimburse me.

[Today's Intelligence 05: Last night, He Yu confessed to her sister He Xue that she had 100,000 yuan in online loans, and the lending platform was preparing to come to her door. She came to Shanghai to escape the debt collectors, but the platform's debt collectors still managed to locate her current address through her phone's location tracking.]

Are you kidding me?
Are there really any online lending platforms that dare to come to your door to collect debts?

However, He Yu is a bit of a swindler. Lin Qingsong frowned slightly as he looked at the information. If the online loan collectors really came knocking on his door, would it have any impact on him?

Taking this to heart, he then continued reading the last item.

[Today's News 06: Qin Yan, a partner at Blue Sky Law Firm, is being pressured by her parents to get married. She plans to ask her friend Qi Nan to find a model to pretend to be her boyfriend.]

Qin Yan?

This isn't the company's beautiful legal counsel; does she also get pressured to get married?
The thought that the aloof, icy lawyer with black-rimmed glasses also had the trouble of being pressured to get married amused Lin Qingsong.

But he thought to himself, it seems like he could take on this job himself.

For no other reason than to see what this ascetic lawyer would be like in front of his parents.

With this in mind, Lin Qingsong decided to find some time to subtly probe Qi Nan.

Given his relationship with Seventh Brother, there shouldn't be any problem with this.

My looks are just as good as a male model's!
Inside the living room of the rented apartment.

He Yu curled up alone on the sofa, silently blaming herself.

She was scolded for a long time after she confessed about the online loans to her sister last night.

Although He Xue had said she would take care of the money, He Yu knew that her sister had only graduated a year ago and certainly didn't have much savings.

Perhaps, in order to repay her 100,000 yuan online loan, her sister will also have to borrow money from outside.

The thought of this made He Yu feel even more bitter.

She hated herself for comparing herself to others, and even more so for borrowing money from online lending platforms.

Lin Qingsong, who came out of the house, was slightly taken aback when he saw He Yu huddled on the sofa crying. After all, the sight of a beautiful girl with tears in her eyes was quite striking. But he quickly looked away and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Don't look at anything inappropriate.

He Yu was only wearing a thin nightgown, which, combined with her stunning figure, would likely result in a photo of her that wouldn't pass censorship on most platforms.

He Yu didn't expect Lin Qingsong to get up so early today. She also realized that her clothes were a bit inappropriate. Forgetting about crying, she grabbed the pillow next to her.

After calming down for a while, she looked at the closed bathroom door and suddenly remembered that her sister had told her that her handsome roommate was a model agent.

When Lin Qingsong finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he saw He Yu hugging a cushion and staring at him expectantly.

"What's wrong?" he asked, puzzled.

He Yu blushed and asked shyly, "Brother Lin, I'm He Xue's younger sister, He Yu. I heard from my sister that you're a model agent. May I ask if someone like me can be a model?"

“Xiaoxue’s younger sister, Xiaoyu, right?” Lin Qingsong nodded slightly, then looked directly into her eyes: “But do you know, I’m actually a foreign model agent, which means all the models under my management are foreigners.”

"Oh, I see." He Yu lowered her head with a hint of disappointment. She had been thinking of working as a model when she didn't have classes so that she could start earning money sooner. But the plan fell through before it even began.

"However, if you're not particularly fond of modeling and are just curious about the entertainment industry, I suggest you become a part-time actor. After all, modeling requires a certain level of professionalism."

"Really!"

He Yu, who was initially a little disappointed, suddenly raised his head and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Lin, can I be an actor?"

She doesn't really care whether she's a model or an actress, as long as she can make money.

"Of course, with your looks, even without any acting skills, you'd be more than qualified to be a lead actor. It's just that the salary might not be that high; eight hours would only bring in five hundred yuan."

In a promotional video, in addition to the main characters, there will be all sorts of people filling the screen.

Those that appear in the video but only have one line and a brief appearance are the foreground.

A bit higher than extras, they usually choose people who are good-looking.

Normally, an extra earns 100 yuan for eight hours, but a good-looking foreground actor earns 500 yuan for eight hours.

In the entertainment industry, being good-looking really can make money.

"Five hundred yuan!" He Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her sister is now a guzheng teacher at an educational institution. Including commissions, she earns an average of eight or nine thousand yuan a month, which translates to about three hundred yuan a day.

If she could work as a presenter every day, wouldn't she be able to earn 15,000 yuan a month?

He Yu was probably a little excited, which is why her voice was a bit louder.

He Xue, who was fast asleep inside, was suddenly awakened. She looked at the empty room and heard Lin Qingsong and her sister's voices coming from inside. She threw off the covers and hurriedly went out.

He Xue, who was wearing matching pajamas with her younger sister, walked up to He Yu and scolded her, "He Yu, what are you doing here so early in the morning instead of sleeping?!"

He Yu didn't care about her sister's punishment at all. Instead, she excitedly hugged He Xue and said, "Sister, Brother Lin said I can be a part-time actor. He also said that even if I don't have any acting skills, I can still be a background actor, and a background actor can earn five hundred yuan a day!"

He Xue pushed away her younger sister who was hugging her, and frowned, saying, "Who told you to disturb Brother Lin!"

Seeing her angry sister, He Yu realized that she wasn't actually familiar with Lin Qingsong, and that it was indeed a bit presumptuous of her to rush over and say these things so abruptly.

"Sister, it's me."

She stammered as if she wanted to say something, but He Xue interrupted her directly, "Alright, stop talking and quickly apologize to Brother Lin."

After He Xue finished speaking, she turned to Lin Qingsong with an apologetic expression and said, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

Looking at He Xue, who also had a stunning figure and whose clothes were not properly arranged due to her haste, Lin Qingsong shook his head helplessly and said, "It's nothing, but Xiao Xue, why don't you go inside with your sister and tidy up your clothes first?"

Although he wasn't exactly a gentleman, he still couldn't be bothered to take advantage of such a situation.

If you want to see these, you can go backstage at the fashion show.

When he sent his company's models to fashion shows, he noticed that many of the less famous models didn't have dressing rooms. In order to save time, these models didn't hide from people when changing clothes and changed directly backstage.
