Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

When Wei Jun's pre-production training was almost over, Yang Hua came and brought an unexpected person with him.

Yang Chaoyue.

"From today onwards, Yang Chaoyue will be your assistant," Yang Hua said, leading the bowed Yang Chaoyue. "Take good care of her. I have to go now."

After the music video shoot, Yang Hua approached Yang Chaoyue and asked if she was interested in becoming Wei Jun's assistant.

Yang Hua observed her on set and found that Yang Chaoyue did a very meticulous job in logistics, with almost no mistakes. She was also a good person, brave, kind, and willing to make requests. When she was able, she would help those in need.

Wei Jun happened to need an assistant, and Yang Hua took a liking to her. Yang Chaoyue wanted to change her work style, so the two hit it off and Yang Chaoyue was honorably hired.

After Yang Hua left, Yang Chaoyue raised her head and looked at Wei Jun with a big smile. Suddenly remembering that he had deceived her, she immediately changed to an arrogant expression: "I wonder which big boss on set was trying to fool this young and beautiful girl by pretending to be a young old cucumber."

Yang Chaoyue only found out during training that the handsome guy who acted in the music video with her and secretly drank cola was her boss, Wei Jun.

The fact that Wei Jun's photo, name, age, place of origin, hobbies, and lifestyle appeared in the training materials must have had a profound impact on her.

Damn it, I used to say that when I became famous, I would take him to eat and drink the best of everything. Now I feel ashamed when I think about it. At the same time, I feel a little resentful that such a big star boss as Wei Jun could deceive such a cute girl.

Wei Jun, with his hands behind his back, sized up Yang Chaoyue and then laughed: "I never said I wasn't Wei Jun. You've misunderstood. You keep calling me 'Little Wei,' don't I have any dignity?"

Yang Chaoyue blushed and stammered, "Well, you were the one who drank the cola first, so let's call it even this time. No one is allowed to bring up the past anymore."

"Okay," Wei Jun said with a look of curiosity, "Why do you want to be my assistant? Logically speaking, you have some fame online now, you could easily find a better job or directly enter the industry as an actor."

Yang Chaoyue raised her head and tapped her chin with her finger: "Sister Hua said that I'm just experiencing a temporary surge of popularity, and it will pass quickly. She said that if I enter the industry as an actress at a young age without any connections, I'll be bullied to death."

"I think that makes sense. I get bullied wherever I go. Rather than being a slave to others and being bullied, I'd rather be a slave to you. At least Sister Hua is reasonable and doesn't bully people."

"As for finding a better job, I can't do anything except sew, wait tables, and serve people. Who would want me?"

Wei Jun looked at Yang Chaoyue with a different eye. Few people have a clear understanding of themselves, and few can resist the flattery and monetary temptations from the outside world when faced with sudden fame.

"Alright, since you don't feel wronged doing servant work for me, then I'll approve of you." Having a beautiful young woman as an assistant is a pleasant thing.

"I'm not aggrieved," Yang Chaoyue tilted her head, making a peace sign with her hand, "So what should I do now?"

"Get me a towel to wipe my sweat first, then go get me a bottle of water."

......

July, Hengdian, Chang'an Zhuque Street.

Wei Jun tied his wig high on his head, leaving a few stray hairs on his forehead. He wore a light-colored, narrow-sleeved outfit and led a black-haired, brown-skinned horse, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Leading the horses were Wang Yanlin, Niu Junfeng, and others who played the "Five Gentlemen of Chang'an".

Director Wu Jinyuan came over to give instructions on the play.

This scene mainly features the "Five Talented Men of Chang'an" galloping on horseback along Zhuque Street, from the street to Zhuque Gate.

Wei Jun, who plays Yan Xun, has a highlight scene in this movie. He needs to immediately lift up the cart at a designated location, where the extras' cart has overturned.

"Wei Jun, is there any problem with starting the show immediately later?" Director Wu Jinyuan rolled up the script and tapped his palm.

"No problem, director." Wei Jun made an "OK" gesture.

The skill of immediately raising one's horse is difficult. First, the rider needs to know how to ride a horse, then a trained horse, and finally the rider needs to train the horse through commands or gestures.

Once the horse understands, its two front hooves will stand at a 45-degree angle, and the rider needs to lean forward and gently put his arm around the horse's neck to complete the action.

Of course, experienced riders don't need to hold the horse's neck; they just need to control the reins and maintain their balance.

Wei Jun possesses the skill of horsemanship described in the entry "Splits General," having long since mastered equestrian techniques. The brown horse he leads is his long-time partner, with whom he has trained and spent a great deal of time, and can perform difficult maneuvers with just one command.

Li Lin, dressed in a pink court dress and with her hair up, approached Wei Jun and gave him a fist pump in encouragement: "Go for it, Jun..."

Li Qin wanted to call out "Junbao," but realizing the inappropriate situation, she immediately stopped herself.

Zhao Liying also came to cheer her on, adding, "Be careful."

In the distance, Yang Chaoyue held a towel and a small fan in one hand and a bottle of water in the other, waving and cheering.

Wang Yanlin leaned closer, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Wait, Jun-ge, are you really that popular with women? If we didn't know better, we'd think you were the main character, right, Lin Gou?"

Lin Gengxin glanced at the sly-looking Wang Yanlin and sneered, "Little Lin, what does it matter to you if he's popular with women? Envious? Just blame your mother for not giving birth to someone as handsome as you."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Niu Junfeng laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

Wang Yanlin clutched his chest, feigning heartache.

Having spent so much time together, training during the day and reading scripts and having late-night snacks at night, the group had developed a deep bond. They were always joking around, chasing and teasing each other, teasing one another in return. They had a very good relationship.

"The whole world is ready."

Wei Jun, Wang Yanlin, Niu Junfeng, and the actors playing Zhao Xifeng and Wei Shuhua mounted their horses with swift and decisive movements, ready to pounce.

"Riding a horse on Suzaku Street, one scene, long shot."

"Action".

The clapperboard is struck.

Wei Jun's face turned serious, and he pulled on the reins: "Giddy up!"

The horse galloped off like an arrow, with Wang Yanlin and the others close behind.

The elevator slowly rose, and the camera lens was pointed at the actors riding horses.

After running the 100-meter-long street, the group rode their horses back to the starting point.

The director checked the monitor footage, and finding no problems, he called out, "That's a wrap, prepare for the next scene."

The second main shot is of Yan Xun galloping on horseback, the horse immediately rising into the air, and then switching to a medium shot.

Wei Jun patted his good friend and straightened its hair: "Brother, it's your turn to shine later."

"Neigh, neigh."

The brown horse neighed merrily.

"Riding a horse on Suzaku Street, Scene 2, medium shot."

"Action".

"drive."

The brown horse charged out again.

Wei Jun straightened his body, controlling the horse's speed, while the camera beside him followed closely.

"Quickly, get the blower on."

As soon as the blower was turned on, a strong wind swept through, causing Wei Jun's outfit to flutter and his long hair to fly in the wind.

Wei Jun maintains a sunny and confident young man image, with a smile on his face and high spirits.

Upon reaching the designated spot, Wei Jun's eyes narrowed, he lightly patted the horse's neck with his right hand, and then suddenly pulled on the reins.

"Sigh."

The brown horse let out a long neigh and leaped high into the air...

"What a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse!"
