Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Chapter 90 airs on Happy Camp, Wei and Lu are at odds.

The episode of "Happy Camp" featuring Wei Jun and three others saw a surge in ratings, securing the number one spot nationwide that night with a market share of 6.16%, a new high in nearly three months. According to CSM data, the episode achieved a 1.78% rating.

Within an hour of its release on Mango TV, the episode quickly surpassed 50 million views, setting a new record for the fastest show to reach 50 million views in 2017.

The number of bullet comments exceeded 300,000 within the first 30 minutes, with comments related to "Wei Jun throwing an apple" accounting for more than 40%.

Netizens flooded the screen with comments like: "What kind of god-like move is this?" "I've replayed it ten times and I still don't understand!" "Wei Jun, I'm in awe!" "Wei Jun's moves would be a guaranteed hit in a nightclub!" "Wei Jun, please teach me, I want to learn too!"

When Wei Jun and Nazha performed their "La La Land" duet, it sparked another wave of comments.

Wait, wasn't Wei Jun here to throw apples? Why did he throw my heart away too?

Ahhh, their dancing is so sweet, I want to ship them as a couple!

[When Gulnazar twirled, her yellow dress billowed out like a princess, while Wei Jun looked like a knight protecting her. Are there any directors in the Chinese entertainment industry handing me scripts?]

Two stunningly beautiful people, I'm drooling over them!

I wasn't a fan of Wei Jun before, but after watching this dance, I watched the entire Happy Camp episode and found his apple-tossing scene to be even more amazing. Wei Jun does have some talent.

Within 24 hours of its release, the show garnered over 1.8 million views across the entire network, surpassing Tencent Video, Kuzi Video, and iQiyi Video to become the top-ranked variety show of the episode.

The episode generated a massive buzz on Weibo, with 13 trending topics, including 5 of them making it into the top ten and 1 of them reaching number one.

#WeiJunJumpingApples# topped the list, with over 3 million views and more than 150 million discussions in a single day. Following closely behind was #LuHanChoiceOfA Partner#, and in third place was #WeiJunNazhaLaLaCityDoubleDance#.

Related topics abound, including #WeiJunTossingAppleFramebyFrameAnalysis#, #WeiJunHeartShapedApple#, #WeiJunAndNazhaAreTheChosenCouple#, #HaveWeiJun andNazha Moved Beyond Feelings#, etc.

Wei Jun's apple-tossing, peace sign, heart-shaped face gesture, and apple-eating clips have been turned into all sorts of memes by countless fans and netizens, with captions like "Have you ever seen such a cool way of eating an apple?" His memes quickly became ubiquitous online.

On Bilibili, a video edited by a content creator titled "Wei Jun and Nazar's 'La La Land' Duet Dance, A Glimpse of Eternity" has garnered over a million views, while "Wei Jun, From Apple to Dance Partner, How Many More Skills Does This Man Have?" has received 68 views.

The popularity of "Happy Camp" benefited "Fighter of the Destiny," which had been slightly sluggish, and its ratings soared, leaving many other dramas airing at the same time, such as "The Glory of Tang Dynasty 2," "The Legend of Chusen II," "Because of You," and "Chicken Feather Flies to the Sky," far behind.

The immense popularity of "Fighter of the Destiny" has backfired.

The film's Douban rating once plummeted to 4.1, with 48.4% of reviews being one-star. Several official media outlets, including the Beijing Daily, published commentaries, stating that the golden rule of "big IP + popular celebrities" had failed this time.

The adaptation of "Fighter of the Destiny" has angered fans of the original novel, who have posted articles condemning it as "ruining the original work," "drastically altering it," "piggybacking on the IP," "adaptation is not random rewriting," and "incoherent plot."

Some Douban users even complained about the special effects, saying, "They don't even cost 50 cents," and "Where did your 400 million yuan investment go?"

The actors' performances backfired, with netizens criticizing Lu Han's "expressionless acting," saying he could convey the entire plot with just one expression, and that his styling was effeminate and not manly at all. Nazha was criticized as a "wooden beauty," still beautiful even when she didn't speak.

All the main creators were criticized, except for Wei Jun, who was praised and felt sorry for. He was praised for his good acting skills, good lines, and handsome appearance in period costume. He was the comedic relief and mouth double of the whole show.

It's a pity that he played the second male lead in such a terrible drama, wasting Wei Jun's acting skills, lines, and period costume appearance.

For a time, Wei Jun's popularity surpassed that of Lu Han.

Amidst the online back-and-forth, a "genius" Douban user posted in a group chat, "I might be the first person on the entire internet to notice that Lu Han and Wei Jun are acting strangely."

The poster, "Guatian de Zha," shared screenshots and GIFs of the two during a program and drama promotion, analyzing their movements frame by frame.

"Look, throughout the entire show, Lu Han and Wei Jun never stood together. They were always separated by Nazha and He Jiong. When Lu Han was singing, Wei Jun was daydreaming; he was whispering to Xu Lingyue next to him. When Wei Jun was doing a duet dance, Lu Han was expressionless..."

"The cast of 'Fighter of the Destiny' came to 'Happy Camp' to promote their show, but the two male leads didn't interact at all? Is this normal?"

This post quickly went viral on Douban's Goose Group, garnering over 1000 replies in just a few hours.

The tone of the comments gradually shifted from "Did the blogger think of this?" to "Lu Han and Wei Jun definitely have a problem," "I remember when 'Fighter of the Destiny' was being filmed, Lu Han's fans cursed Wei Jun," and "I just checked Wei Jun's Weibo and found that he deleted the photos of him with Lu Han."

Then, an "insider" revealed that Lu Han and Wei Jun's relationship deteriorated after the "black photo incident," and the two barely communicated during the later stages of filming "Fighter of the Destiny." It's said that Lu Han's agent claimed Wei Jun got the role through connections.

of.

Some "geniuses" have even compiled a timeline of the conflicts between the two.

1. "Black Photo Incident": During the filming of "Fighter of the Destiny", Wei Jun frequently posted photos of the two of them together on Weibo, which led to the "Black Photo Incident". After that, the two never communicated again during the later stages of filming. 2. Press Conference Positioning: The post also dug up a group photo from the press conference for the premiere of "Fighter of the Destiny", pointing out that Lu Han and Wei Jun were always separated by Gulnazar and Xu Lingyue and never stood together.

Third, Reuters reported zero interaction: A "crew member" revealed that Lu Han and Wei Jun hardly spoke to each other on set during filming, and stayed in their respective RVs during breaks, unlike other actors who would chat and eat together.

Fourth, zero interaction on Happy Camp: This is the most crucial "concrete evidence." The post included a large number of screenshots from the show, analyzing the two people's positions, eyes, and expressions frame by frame, concluding that "there was at least a physical distance of three people and an invisible psychological gap between the two people."

Some netizens did not believe that the two had a conflict and tried to dispel the rumors by saying things like "Lu Han once helped Wei Jun promote his songs," but they were quickly overwhelmed by the "conflict" rumors.

As more and more "insiders" come forward, the hashtag #LuHanWeiJunDiscord# gradually trended on social media.

Faced with the sudden "discord," the fan groups of both sides showed completely different reactions.

Lu Han's fans adopted an offensive strategy, directing their attacks at Wei Jun.

[What kind of new radish peel is this "fake Jun" who dares to compare himself to Lu Han? Without Lu Han, who would know about the drama "Fighter of the Destiny," or who would know about the second male lead, "fake Jun"? He should thank my idol for his current popularity.]

[Where did this fake Jun come from? Don't think that just because he appeared on a variety show and got some exposure, he can be so disrespectful.]

Sisters, don't let the fake Jun team get involved. It's definitely a staged event they orchestrated to try and gain fame by associating themselves with Lu Han.

Although Wei Jun has fewer fans than Lu Han, he is not intimidated and chooses to fight back.

[Riding the wave? Wei Jun needs to ride the wave? Everyone knows Wei Jun is a well-known trendsetter in the Chinese entertainment industry. Without Wei Jun giving "Fighter of the Destiny" a boost, given your brother's acting skills, it would probably have flopped long ago. [I don't know which sour grapes are spouting nonsense. Your Lu Han is clearly a third-place actor, yet you still have the nerve to say that my Wei Jun comes from a small town.]

[Lu Han is acting all effeminate; I wonder if he's been practicing martial arts with Dongfang Bubai.]

Beijing, Yixin Entertainment.

"Xiao Lu, you've been getting scolded these past few days." Manager Yang Tianzhen rushed over in a flurry.

"I know whether they're criticizing my expressionless face and poor acting skills."

Lu Han is now somewhat troubled. He thought his first TV series would be a resounding success and create brilliant achievements, but little did he know that while the results were good, the reputation was even worse than rotten mandarin fish.

He doesn't dare go online now, for fear of seeing offensive comments.

"It's Wei Jun's fans who are insulting you," Yang Tianzhen told Lu Han the message he had received. "I even suspect that his team is buying articles to promote him. Most of the articles are praising him, and the rest are all trying to put you down."

"There are rumors circulating in the industry that you two are at odds, and it's even trending on social media."

"No, Wei Jun isn't that kind of person. We get along very well, there's nothing between us." Lu Han shook his head. He and Wei Jun were...

Good brother, he won't betray you.

"The least valuable thing in this industry is brotherhood. Just look at what happened to Yin Xiaotian," Yang Tianzhen sighed. "You can know a person's face but not their heart. You're not Wei Jun, so how would you know what he's thinking?"

"You two have some overlap in your development, and one day you'll fight over resources."

Despite listening to Yang Tianzhen's "twisted words," Lu Han was not swayed. Instead, he focused on resolving the issue: "Shouldn't we talk to Wei Jun now and discuss how to solve this problem?"

"I'll talk to them about this. I'm just reminding you to be careful." Yang Tianzhen, who came from Huayi Brothers, had witnessed too much darkness and filth in the industry, and she didn't want Lu Han to get hurt.
