HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

"real?"

Shen Qingyue was waiting for these words.

That was the purpose of her bringing Wang Xuan to see Xu Lang this time.

"How could this be fake?"

Wang Xuan was going all out to win over Shen Qingyue, so he took out two thousand yuan from his wallet and placed it on the table.

"Xu Lang, here's two thousand yuan. Go take the photos this afternoon."

Looking at the two thousand yuan on the table, Xu Lang's lips curled into a smirk. He was about to speak when Zhang Hanyun interrupted him.

"2000 isn't enough! A set of photos needs at least eight or ten pictures. Eight pictures would be 16,000, and ten pictures would be 20,000. That's not enough!"

"What?"

Wang Xuan's previously arrogant expression immediately fell. "Twenty thousand?"

Twenty thousand yuan is enough to support a college student.

Although Wang Xuan is rich, he really couldn't bear to spend 20,000 yuan on taking photos for Shen Qingyue.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyue quickly glared at Zhang Hanyun.

"What do you know, you're just a kid? I only need two, I don't need that many."

Two, which is four thousand.

Wang Xuan gritted his teeth; he could barely accept it.

He took out another two thousand and placed it on the table, then glared at Zhang Hanyun.

"This little girl just conspired with Xu Lang to scheme against me, and she just scared me. She's really despicable."

Now that he needed Xu Lang's help, Wang Xuan couldn't openly turn against him, but he couldn't care less about this little girl.

"Little girl, you're from Chengdu too? Why aren't you studying properly? What are you doing all this way?"

As he spoke, he looked Zhang Hanyun up and down, then pointed at her with a smile, "Look at your outfit! Of all people to copy, why did you have to imitate that delinquent girl? You should just stop trying!"

"Um?"

His words stunned both Zhou Man and Zhang Hanyun.

Bai Yang had previously said that this little girl looked like Zhang Hanyun, and Xu Lang had specifically explained to them that she was copying her idol's style of dress.

What Wang Xuan meant by those words was... Zhang Hanyun?

Immediately, Zhang Hanyun's expression changed. She stood up abruptly, pointed at Wang Xuan, and shouted:

"Who are you calling a delinquent?"

"ha!"

Wang Xuan assumed she was standing up for her idol and immediately sneered:

"Of course it's Zhang Hanyun from Super Girl. Don't you idolize her? Hmph, you really do imitate others. Go ahead and try to be like her; sooner or later you'll become just like her!"

Hearing the hidden meaning in those words, Zhou Man became anxious and pressed for an answer:

"What happened to Zhang Hanyun?"

Don't you watch the news?

Wang Zhe shrugged, looking completely innocent, picked up his phone, pointed to the entertainment news on it, and said:

"Zhang Hanyun, at such a young age, was exposed for smoking, drinking, bullying other girls, and having an early relationship. I heard she also took a lot of indecent photos. Humph, she looks cute and adorable on TV, but who knew she was a bad student, a delinquent, and a shameless girl behind the scenes."

You absolutely mustn't follow her example!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Man quickly picked up her phone to search for entertainment news.

Zhang Hanyun, her eyes reddening, grabbed the teacup in front of her and splashed it at Wang Xuan across from her.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Wang Xuan quickly got up to avoid it, but he still got a little wet.

Seeing his wet clothes, Wang Xuan panicked and pointed at Zhang Hanyun, scolding her:

"See, I told you people are like you. I treated you to dinner, and you threw things at me. You're no good person either."

"You're not a good person!"

Zhang Hanyun's small face was unusually fierce as she pointed at Wang Xuan, her words showing no mercy:

"Don't think I'm too young to see through you. You treated us to dinner today just to show off your money. To put it bluntly, you just want to hit on that girl next to you. Humph, your dirty thoughts disgust me."

After being scolded like that, Wang Xuan and Shen Qingyue's faces turned red and white, and they were a little embarrassed.

Shen Qingyue brushed a stray hair from her forehead and said, seemingly trying to mediate:

"Young lady, can you please not speak so rudely? What do you know about our relationship? Stop talking nonsense here, okay?"

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Zhang Hanyun is really reckless; she's criticizing everyone she meets.

"I was initially hesitant to say anything to you because you're a woman, but since you insisted on speaking up, don't blame me."

"Hmph, in my opinion, you're just a vain gold digger. You beg and plead for a little money for a photoshoot, making yourself seem so worthless. I'm ashamed of you!"

Shen Qingyue's face turned pale from the scolding. She pointed at Zhang Hanyun, too angry to speak.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Bai Yang quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Young lady, people mean well by what they say. Aren't they just worried you'll be corrupted by Zhang Hanyun?"

"How did you become bad by following her?"

Zhang Hanyun continued her barrage, "Hmph, don't let your quiet demeanor fool you, you're no saint either. Just now at the Beijing Film Academy, you practically drooled over every girl you saw. Have you never seen a woman before? Is that all you've got? And you dare to point fingers at others? Do you even deserve it?!"

Zhang Hanyun's mouth was like a machine gun; in an instant, she had scolded all three of them.

"Wow?!"

Xu Lang was stunned, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Zhang Hanyun.

"I never expected this girl to have such a feisty side."

At this moment, Wang Xuan looked at Shen Qingyue, then at Bai Yang, a wry smile on his face, and helplessly tried to make amends:

"I can't be bothered arguing with a little girl like you. Besides, we weren't talking about you, we were talking about Zhang Hanyun. Why are you getting so worked up? Is it really necessary?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Hanyun, her face flushed, pointed at herself and said loudly:

"Because I am Zhang Hanyun."

"what?"

"What?"

"Are you Zhang Hanyun?"

Wang Xuan and the other two were stunned by these words and then looked to Xu Lang for help.

At this point, there was no point in Xu Lang hiding it anymore. More importantly, he felt that Zhang Hanyun's scolding was quite satisfying.

"Uh... she really is Zhang Hanyun from Super Girl. She came all the way from Chengdu yesterday to take photos with me."

"What?"

Xu Lang's words left the three who had just reacted stunned once again.

Xu Lang, a freshman college student, managed to get a celebrity to follow him from Chengdu to Beijing for a photoshoot.

This is hilarious!

Who does he think he is?

All three of them thought they were hallucinating or seeing things, so they rubbed their eyes and ears.

Especially Shen Qingyue, who had just broken up with Xu Lang half a month ago, and had only been separated from him on the train for a week.

How does Xu Lang have such great ability to make celebrities chase after him to take photos?

Five thousand per sheet? A set of ten or eight sheets would cost forty or fifty thousand.

Shen Qingyue suddenly realized that Xu Lang had really given her a huge favor by asking him for two thousand yuan per bill.

While the three were still surprised, Zhang Hanyun was still angry. Pointing at the three of them, especially Wang Xuan, she said resentfully:

"You were all slandering me by insulting me like that, and I'm going to sue you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Man stood up as well, her face solemn:

"The three of you, Zhang Hanyun is an artist in our company. I cannot accept the slander you just made against her. In order to protect the reputation of our artist, we have no choice but to see each other in court."

"what?"

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded. He never expected that his casual remark would be used against him.

If it were ordinary people hurling insults at each other, it wouldn't matter.

But the other party is an artist, and a very famous one at that.

What do celebrities value most?

It's about face and reputation!

Rumors online are hard to trace, but if you criticize someone face-to-face, aren't you just getting caught red-handed?

Although Wang Xuan's family is wealthy, he is only a sophomore in college and hasn't seen much of the world. How could he possibly compete with Zhou Man?

Startled by Zhou Man, he was momentarily stunned.

Wang Xuan glanced at Xu Lang, the only one sitting among the six, and then gave Shen Qingyue a meaningful look.

"You should go and beg Xu Lang right now!"
