Huayu 2011: Starting with Hilarious Men

Chapter 90: Are all web series filmed with these requirements?!

Yui Hatano was able to get to Shanghai so quickly because she will be attending the 9th Shanghai International Makoto Expo next month.

This matter was decided a month ago, so the visa and other documents were applied for well in advance.

It just so happened that the greenhouse contacted her to make a cameo appearance, and since the location was in Shanghai, Yui Hatano was able to arrive so quickly.

This was the first time Zheng Nan had ever seen Yui Hatano dressed in real life.

As Izuhira had anticipated, Yui Hatano's appearance in real life was very different from her appearance on screen.

She wore a simple white shirt with a brown bear sweatshirt over it.

The bear hoodie completely covered up her E-cup breasts.

"You're so eager to get in touch!" Yui Hatano greeted him first.

This Japanese phrase means "hello".

"Hello, this is the script for the skit we're filming. This is the translator we've brought in. The male actor you're acting with has gone out to dinner and will be back in a bit," Zheng Nan said, while the translator explained.

"Arigato guzaimasu." Yui Hatano bowed deeply in gratitude, her bow exceeding 90 degrees.

"You son of a bitch, you son of a bitch." Zheng Nan didn't like Xiao Rizi's habit of bowing all the time.

The country of Xiaomuzi perfectly embodies the saying "having small courtesies but lacking great principles."

This country lives in a fantasy constructed by politicians, bowing and apologizing whenever a problem arises, but then doing nothing about it.

The only three things that Zheng Nan enjoys in her daily life are movies and animated films.

The translator took the script to give Yui Hatano acting instructions, while Zheng Nan quickly sent a message in the group chat.

"Teacher Hata is here! He's going out to film a little while later, so hurry up if you want to come!"

"I'll be there in ten minutes!" Duan Xingye was the first to reply to the message, which was rare for him.

"Eight minutes!" Lin Wenruo was still as quick as ever.

"You're here so early? What are you wearing? Never mind, I'll wait until I get there to see for myself." Yuan Bingyan was curious but also kept her composure.

"I've arrived." Ren Yi didn't reply to the message in the group chat, but instead appeared directly at the company entrance.

"Your classmates are all talented individuals," Ding Xiu commented after watching the commotion for a while.

My uncle has been very busy lately. In order to find a suitable accountant, he specially hired a headhunter to poach people and has been going out to interview and recruit people all day long.

If I hadn't heard that Yui Hatano was coming today, my uncle wouldn't be at the company at this time.

"Actually, everyone is a talent in their own industry; it's just that some people's talents haven't been discovered yet," Zheng Nan said, feigning profundity.

"You've been posting too many jokes on Weibo!" Ding Xiu wasn't going to tolerate his nephew and gave him a sharp rap on the head.

Ren Yi, who had just entered the room, didn't even have time to see what Yui Hatano looked like in real life. He was immediately attracted by the scene of Zheng Nan being harassed.

"What are you looking at? Go downstairs to our usual noodle shop and call Dapeng up to tell him his idol has arrived."

Ren Yi and the others came to help, and they were paid 500 yuan a day, so Zheng Nan didn't hold back in ordering Ren Yi around.

"Oh." Ren Yi glanced reluctantly at Ms. Hattori's chest a couple of times, then turned and went downstairs.

When Ren Yi reached the noodle shop downstairs, he realized that he had Dapeng's QQ account, so he could just send a message to notify him!

Finished!

My brain was just taken over by Naoko!

Ren Yi smacked his head twice. "Lust makes one lose their mind. The ancients were right!"

Just as Dapeng finished eating his noodles and reached the entrance of the shed, he saw Ren Yi self-harming. He quickly stepped forward to stop him: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Why would you hurt yourself?!

'

"You Naiko—Pah! Your idol's here! Zheng Nan told me to tell you to hurry back." Ren Yi's mind was full of Naiko, and he blurted out the wrong thing.

The words "idol" and "arrived today" together immediately made it clear to the crowd who had arrived.

He personally contacted this teacher!

Dapeng silently put Ren Yi's hand back on his head: "You keep knocking, I'm leaving now."

"Okay—wait, why am I still typing? I'm going back too!"

The number of onlookers during today's filming was the largest during Zheng Nan's three seasons of "Hilarious Men".

One reason is that the filming location was inside a supermarket.

Secondly, because the main character in the film is Yui Hatano.

Despite the supermarket's best efforts to maintain order, a large number of people still gathered around, and some even tried to break through the cordon to get in.

"Oh my, did you hear? They're filming an adult movie in this supermarket!"

"What's going on? I only saw a lot of police tape outside the supermarket. Is the supermarket really that big of a setup?"

"Damn, the little girl is speaking a foreign language, and the bespectacled guy next to her is translating like a pro! What a shameless old man!"

"The world is going to the dogs! Filming this kind of thing in public!"

"Have you two aunties misunderstood something? They're filming 'Hilarious Men,' a web series, not some kind of adult film."

"Listen to this name! 'Boo!'—Male? Why isn't it rated R?!"

Many young people who watched "Hilarious Men" also posted this story online.

[Reuters! First-hand, real news! Yui Hatano has joined the third season of "Men's Laughter"!]

[Who were they invited?! OP, please elaborate!!!]

Zheng Nan is really making something of himself; he's getting more and more ambitious with each season!

[Being a director is great; I can only observe the actors in the film. Zheng Nan is about the same age as me, and they actually managed to get her to film on set.]

[I'm so envious I'm sweating! Zheng Nan, you old rascal, go easy on me!]

Will "Father of Massage Parlors" Joe San ever appear in a photo with Yui Hatano? It would be quite interesting if these two were to appear together, wouldn't it?

I still prefer Qiao Shan's jokes; they have contrast and depth. Having Yui Hatano as a comedian—that name alone guarantees the content of the jokes—makes it hard for me to have any higher expectations.

[Shikamaru upstairs is so tough! If you're so capable, then never watch any of Hattori-sensei's shows again!]

[The performance is everything! Teacher Bodo is the real great actor!]

[OP, could you please provide an address? I'm a local from Shanghai and would like to see it live.]

The social atmosphere in China is inherently conservative. Although it has become more open in recent years with social development, very few people have actually seen adult film actresses in real life.

The topic itself was very interesting, and coupled with the audience base accumulated from the first two seasons of "Hilarious Men", it quickly rose to the top of the discussion and popularity charts on various platforms.

"Come on, let's film another scene first, so that Dapeng and Teacher Bodo can get to know each other better."

Upon arriving at the filming location, Zheng Nan first filmed other segments in the supermarket.

The first joke is about paying the bill.

Zheng Nan, playing a customer, pushes a shopping cart to pay, and is caught by Dilraba, who plays his wife and shop assistant, having cigarettes in his pocket.

Reba angrily took out a cigarette and questioned Zheng Nan, hitting him as she did so.

To create an exaggerated effect, Zheng Nan specially prepared an inflatable wrench for Dilraba.

Isn't it normal for shop assistants to bring a wrench to work?

Dilraba used an inflatable wrench to beat Zheng Nan until his face was covered in blood.

The customers waiting in line to pay were horrified when they saw this.

The male customer quickly took out his cigarettes and lighter from his pocket and threw them away.

As he threw it away, he muttered, "If we hit him, he can't hit us anymore."

"Do you also take pictures of women?" A female customer asked, somewhat reluctant to part with her newly purchased 95.

"What, are men and women not equal when it comes to wrenches?" a man turned around and joked.

The second joke is about tasting.

Zheng Nan and Dilraba went grocery shopping.

Reba pointed to a bag of cookies and said, "Honey, let's buy some cookies. How about these?"

Zheng Nan casually picked up a bag of biscuits, tore it open, and commented while eating: "Hmm, not bad, not bad, imported."

""

Walking to the fresh meat section, Zheng Nan reached out and grabbed a piece of raw pork, taking a big bite: "This pig is good, it's free-range, and it grew up listening to music."

We arrived at the area selling leather shoes.

He picked up a leather shoe, tore off a piece of leather with his teeth, and chewed it: "It's genuine leather, a new Italian style, but it tastes like a Wenzhou imitation."

After filming two more clips of free drinks and lollipops with change, Zheng Nan signaled that they could start filming today's main scene.

After half a day of preparation, Yui Hatano finally appeared at the tent.

Zheng Nan stood behind the director's monitor, surrounded by her roommates who were watching the spectacle.

"I didn't expect that Ms. Hata would be such a cute girl in real life." These words were naturally spoken by Ren Yi.

"Kawaii? Think about it, what's the difference between this and a cannibal?" Zheng Nan, who was heavily influenced by short videos, immediately started with a hellish reference.

A question mark appeared above Duan Xingye's head.

"It's not easy either. How much do you have to eat to become a horn?" Lin Wenruo reacted the fastest and immediately picked up the thread.

The competition in the adult film industry is fierce, with thousands of newcomers entering the field every year, while market demand and the number of works are limited, resulting in a supply far exceeding demand.

Massive supply leads to a degree of involution, and once involution begins, it will not stop, and the bottom line will gradually be breached.

The topics you're unwilling to take on, there's always someone else willing to. In order to avoid being eliminated, you're forced to constantly push boundaries, rapidly depleting your professional lifespan.

But these things have nothing to do with the general public; they only care about what kind of gossip they can get today.

The boys huddled together to discuss something, while the girls huddled in another group to chat, and their conversations were far wilder than the boys'.

"Do you think actresses develop calluses inside their breasts?" Aya asked first.

"Probably not, it's soft."

"Not necessarily, since the frequency of use is different."

Will I still feel any effects after using it a lot?

Many of the girls' chat messages couldn't be sent.

Yui Hatano was clearly used to being watched, after all, she had plenty of acting experience and was not at all nervous when she started filming.

Zheng Nan never imagined that one day he would be directing Yui Hatano in a movie, and a serious one at that.

"Supermarket series, fifth scene, act one, action!"

The clapperboard sounded, and the two actors quickly got into character.

Yui Hatano walks through the security gate of the supermarket.

I heard a warning beeping sound as soon as I passed by.

The person playing the security guard in the tent immediately shouted, "Did you hear that?!"

Yui Hatano turned around and looked at the greenhouse with an innocent expression: "Are they all big?"

"Daily life? Confirmation is necessary (needs to be checked)."

"Hi." Yui Hatano stood obediently in place and waited for the inspection.

The greenhouse wasn't being polite; the actions were all written in the script, and I was just acting according to it.

Perhaps due to too much experience, as soon as he got started with the greenhouse, Mr. Bodo's professional habit kicked in.

She rolled her eyes, and her voice became chubby: "Ya la die, ya die!"

The commotion startled Zheng Nan, who was behind the director's monitor.

The hidden dragon rises with the wind in a single day, soaring 18 centimeters into the sky.

Zheng Nan silently bent down, then quickly shouted, "Cut!!!"

"What's wrong, director?" Dapeng was so engrossed in his role that he didn't even notice anything wrong with what Teacher Bodo had just done.

"What's wrong? It's going to fail the censors! Keep it down, Peng Ge, and tone down your performance as Teacher Bodo!" Zheng Nan said irritably.

When you're acting, don't just touch things, recite your lines!

"Excuse me!"

"Private Marseille"

The two lead actors quickly apologized.

After being reprimanded by the director, the two lead actors toned down their performance and resumed acting.

Chen Shu has been extremely busy lately.

Two days ago, he attended the press conference for the thriller romance film "Mystery" in Beijing to promote the film.

The day before yesterday, I flew to Hunan TV to record the variety show "Day Day Up". My purpose in appearing on this show was to promote the TV series "The Story of Couples".

-

Yesterday I flew to Shanghai to attend the Bulgari 125th Anniversary Italian Classic Design Art Exhibition held at the Aurora Museum.

Today, she thought she could have a short rest, but her management team told her that the production team of "The Righteous Invincible" hoped that she could make a guest appearance in a web series to increase the exposure of the production team.

When people talk about web series now, they are actually referring to "Hilarious Men".

I've seen this show trending on social media and in various clips edited by netizens, but I haven't watched it in its entirety or done any in-depth research on it.

The management team advised Chen Shu to watch the skit first before deciding whether to make a guest appearance.

Since I had some free time today, I looked up the address of the "Hilarious Men" company and came over with my agent.

When Chen Shu arrived at Sennan Entertainment, he didn't see Zheng Nan, but only Ding Xiu.

After Ding Xiu understood Chen Shu's purpose, he said that Zheng Nan was filming at a supermarket today, and then gave Chen Shu the supermarket's address.

Chen Shu and his agent rushed to the supermarket again.

Before we even got to the supermarket, we could see a large crowd gathered around from a distance.

Chen Shu also exclaimed with some surprise: "Can web series really be this popular? I didn't get this many viewers when I was filming TV dramas."

"This web series is indeed quite popular. Because of 'Hilarious Men,' many film and television platforms have started to expand into the web series field." The agent knows more about this.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Chen Shu did not get out of the car immediately, but instead asked his agent to contact them first.

As a result, the agent couldn't squeeze in, so he had to find the supermarket manager, explain the situation, and ask the manager to send someone to take the two of them through the employee entrance.

After walking through the employee entrance for five or six minutes, we finally entered the supermarket.

There were far fewer people inside the supermarket than outside, making it easy to find the director's area where Zheng Nan was located.

As Chen Shu walked toward Zheng Nan, he looked around at the filming location and saw someone groping a girl in the tent.

This kind of scene is actually nothing special; many movies and TV series have scenes with much larger scales.

The key issue is that the girl's expression was too professional, making it too easy to misunderstand.

She had only seen such professional facial expressions in certain movies.

"Is this the requirement for all web series productions?!" Chen Shu was shocked.
