HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Upon seeing the first few sentences of Liu Yan's manuscript, everyone reacted like sharks smelling blood.

"See, things are finally looking up!"

Everyone read it aloud, word by word:

"Last October, when I came to Changsha to participate in the host competition, I met Xu Lang."

At the time, I was a nurse. I wanted to enter the entertainment industry in order to earn money for my mother's treatment, who had rectal cancer.

After meeting Xu Lang, I don't know why, he asked for my phone number and said he had high hopes for me.

At first, I didn't take it seriously.

But that same evening, he called and asked me to have dinner with him.

To be honest, I was terrified at the time; I thought I had encountered a bad person.

But as you all know, people who want to break into the entertainment industry are like they're under a spell, and so was I.

Although I was scared, I went anyway, just to give it a try.

As it turned out, the dinner that day gave me the biggest shock of my life. I never expected that I would be having dinner with my idols, the host Teacher He, Teacher Li, the production team of "Happy Camp", and even Director Wang of Hunan TV.

I believe no one would dare to dream of such an incredible opportunity.

It was at this dinner party that Xu Lang introduced me to "Happy Camp".

Xu Lang is an extremely thoughtful person. He even noticed that I hadn't eaten enough because I was nervous, and afterwards he specially took me to eat hot porridge at the food stall across the street.

While eating the porridge, I was already certain that something was going to happen tonight.

Otherwise, why would anyone help me?

To be honest, I've convinced myself and am ready to sacrifice myself.

After all, having gained this opportunity to reach the heavens, I feel it was worthwhile.

Seeing this, many people felt the same way Liu Yan did at the time; some sympathized, some understood, and some cursed.

But none of this could stop me from continuing to watch.

"But I was wrong. I admit I was judging others by my own petty standards!"

That night, Xu Lang paid for the meal and left alone, without even giving me a chance to offer myself to him.

I was terrified for a long time, wondering if I had offended him somehow.

Fortunately, after that, I got the opportunity to work as a helper on "Happy Camp".

After I joined the program team, how could I, a nurse, know anything about hosting?

When I was at my lowest point and about to be eliminated, Xu Lang appeared again. He supported me and helped me persevere. He also gave me the opportunity to appear on the "Happy Camp" special episode featuring the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

That promotion was the most significant change in my life.

I am grateful to Xu Lang and want to thank him, but apart from myself, I have no other bargaining chips to offer.

So I looked for an opportunity to give myself to him again.

But he just wouldn't give me a chance, he wouldn't even look at me directly.

Subsequently, through his introduction, I received my first GG (Girlfriend) job and became a star surrounded by a halo.

I've always wanted to find a chance to thank Xu Lang, but he just won't give me that opportunity.

Can you understand what it feels like to be ignored?

That's exactly how I feel right now!

Therefore, I hate Xu Lang. Why didn't he give me a chance to express my gratitude? Why didn't he even give me the chance to offer myself to him?

Am I really that bad?

do you know?

I envy Zhang Liangying so much.

But I am not her. Maybe I am not worthy, not worthy of having, even for a short time, that man!

Even now, I'm still the one who "failed to offer myself," and I hope that the man in my heart will see this and give me a chance!

I swear on my entire reputation and future that everything I have said above is true.

Liu Yan, on the evening of August 18, 2005.

"Whoosh!"

After reading the letter, everyone was stunned!

This isn't an accusation; it's just a love confession.

but. . .

Liu Yan is too bold; she actually dared to write this?

His words revealed his disdain for himself and his admiration for Xu Lang.

What shocked netizens was that even with a goddess like that in the comments and a figure like that, she couldn't get him to offer himself to her.

Is Xu Lang out of his mind?

Who said he engaged in any underhanded practices? Who said he was a scumbag?

Isn't this a modern-day version of Liu Xiahui?

What surprised netizens even more was Liu Yan's courage. Such an outstanding girl, thinking about offering herself to others all day long, and even writing it out openly.

How much courage does that take?

Or rather, how strong was her obsession with Xu Lang?

Leaving aside the reactions of netizens, Qin Feifei, Tang Yan, An Yixuan, Yang Ying, and others were stunned after seeing the letter.

They couldn't imagine that Liu Yan, who was beside them, had such deep feelings.

I can't even imagine that someone would dare to send out a letter with this kind of content at this critical juncture.

This is a classic case of self-destruction!

Liu Yifei, who was far away in Beijing, felt a mix of emotions after reading the letter.

Logically speaking, she should be angry to see this "little vixen" begging to get close to Xu Lang.

but. . .

Liu Yifei couldn't quite explain how she felt.

Liu Xiaoli, who had been cursing Xu Lang, stopped talking and was about to ask Liu Yifei what to do when she saw Liu Yifei quickly return to her room and lock the door.

Changsha.

Xu Lang also saw Liu Yan's letter backstage at "Super Girl".

"Well..."

For a moment, he kept rubbing his nose, not knowing what to say.

Am I Liu Xiahui (a legendary figure known for his chastity)?

How is that possible?

Xu Lang thought this was the most ridiculous thing in the world.

But why didn't they eat willow smoke?

Xu Lang couldn't explain it either; was it because he didn't have the time or the opportunity?

neither.

Deep down, he felt sorry for Liu Yan and couldn't bear to see her suffer.

But now it seems that his reluctance has hurt Liu Yan.

"Ugh!"

Xu Lang sighed with a wry smile, "Looks like I'll have no choice but to eat this willow smoke!"

Just as Liu Yan's handwritten letters were still pouring out, another letter appeared.

"I am Zhang Hanyun, yes, the champion of the 2004 Super Girl competition."

You guessed right. It was Xu Lang who redesigned my image and gave me songs that helped me win the championship.

But I can swear again that Xu Lang never touched me; he looked at me like an older brother would treat a younger sister.

Anyone who doesn't believe me is welcome to confront me in court, and we can pursue legal action to investigate!

Zhang Hanyun has been a celebrity for over a year. Although she has toned down her rebellious spirit a lot, she still speaks with a sharp tongue.

However, at this chaotic time, the more impulsive the statement, the more impactful it becomes.

"Holy crap, at this rate, won't the 2004 and 2005 Super Girl champions both be Xu Lang?"

"I think what Zhang Hanyun said is true. That kid is straightforward and fearless. He doesn't seem like the type to lie."

"Oh no, Xu Lang has really turned into Liu Xiahui! What am I going to do?"

. . . .

Soon, another letter appeared:

"I am Shu Chang, who plays Xiaoyu, the female lead in 'Lotus Lantern'."

I can attest that Xu Lang is indeed Liu Xiahui!

Did you know that before filming began for "The Lotus Lantern," I was almost replaced? It was Xu Lang who stood up for me and saved my leading lady role.

I thought he would make some unreasonable demands of me, but he didn't.

He didn't even look at me properly.

Am I really that bad?

Xu Lang, you've gone too far! I demand an explanation from you.

I need help urgently!

"Well..."

Seeing one statement after another, netizens were stunned.

"Wasn't Xu Lang supposed to be a lecherous scoundrel who only thought with his lower body? How come he's suddenly become a paragon of virtue?"

"It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing so fast!"

"Xu Lang is not only not a lecher, but also a deeply affectionate man!"

"Oh no, I've gone from hating to liking!"

Online, while everyone is enjoying the gossip, they are also waiting for the truly important figure to appear.
