HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Under the watchful eyes of all the boys, Xu Lang went downstairs with a look of impatience.

"Xu Lang!"

Re Yizha quickly ran to him, and before Xu Lang could speak, he bowed deeply to him.

"I was wrong, I apologize to you, I shouldn't have called you a heartless and unscrupulous businessman!"

Yesterday, after I got back, I told Cui Ma about you. Cui Ma scolded me and gave me the phone numbers of several photographers. I called them one by one and asked. Their prices were all much higher than yours, but their work was not necessarily as good as yours. You are not a profiteer. It's just that the price you gave me was too low, which gave me a false impression.

Please forgive me!

"Um?!"

Xu Lang came downstairs with a belly full of anger, thinking that he would scold Re Yizha as soon as he saw him to vent his anger, and vowed never to take pictures of Re Yizha again.

But now, before he could even speak, Reyizha proactively grabbed a fire extinguisher, putting out most of the fire in his heart.

"this..."

Xu Lang was hesitating about how to answer when he heard a burst of laughter from the boys upstairs. Although they didn't know exactly what Re Yizha had said, they understood most of it from the two of them's expressions. They were saying all sorts of things.

"Xu Lang, you two are so hot, why are you bowing down again?"

"Hey, why are you paying attention to him? Just come with me, I'll spoil you rotten."

"Xu Lang, be a man, that's enough!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Re Yizha didn't care at all and ignored them, only staring at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, however, had completely lost the last bit of his strength.

"She's a young woman, the most beautiful girl in the freshman class, and she apologized to you in public. What more do you want? It's not a big deal!"

If Xu Lang were to pursue the matter further, it would truly be unreasonable.

"Fine, you've got it!"

He truly admired Reyza's stubborn and straightforward nature; wrong was wrong, right was right, and he would speak out when necessary and apologize when required, without any ambiguity.

"Alright, I accept your apology. You can leave now."

As Xu Lang spoke, he was about to walk away, but then he thought better of it and turned back to instruct him:

"I'm telling you, could you please stop blocking my building entrance? It's such a bad influence on me!"

If others heard Xu Lang say this, there would definitely be another wave of criticism.

"Even someone who's hot and spicy hasn't complained about affecting their image, and you, a rough old man, what are you worried about affecting!"

However, even if some people said it, Xu Lang didn't care; he categorized all those who said it into one social class:

Lick the dog!

Seeing that Xu Lang was about to leave, Re Yizha quickly stopped him.

"Xu Lang, wait a minute."

"What's wrong now?"

"I heard from Aunt Cui that I need to submit a set of photos before the audition. Could you take some for me when you have time?"

"Mocha photo?"

Xu Lang thought back and realized he did remember, but he was even more annoyed.

"That one with the front and side views? Isn't that just an ID photo? You're asking me about that?"

"Well..."

Reyizha hesitated for a moment, then said:

"It's my first time auditioning, and I'm a little worried. I feel more at ease working with you."

"Okay, let me know when you're going to film."

"Alright!"

Xu Lang then said goodbye to Re Yizha and returned to his dormitory building.

Back in the dormitory, he couldn't fall back asleep at all. He chatted with Jiang Wei and others for a while before getting up and going out.

First, I went to Gao Ying's place in the Fine Arts Department to retrieve the costumes for Xiaolongnu and Guo Fu, then I carried the clothes straight to the administration building.

He has already made plans with Qin Feifei to take the photos over the weekend.

Xu Lang was really looking forward to taking photos of Qin Feifei, after all, she was the most beautiful person he had ever photographed in both his lives.

Upon arriving at office 201, the door was not completely closed.

Xu Lang pushed the door open and saw Qin Feifei staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

"Sister Fei?"

"Hmm? Oh, you've come!"

Qin Feifei snapped out of her daze and looked at the clothes in Xu Lang's arms—one white, one red—and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Whose red outfit is this?"

"I chose it for you too."

"Is red appropriate for Little Dragon Girl?"

"I don't know if it suits her or not, but I think it suits you, so I brought it over."

Xu Lang spoke sincerely, and Qin Feifei nodded noncommittally, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Let's shoot this white set first; I've already chosen the location."

"good!"

Qin Feifei led Xu Lang out of the office and headed towards the parking lot.

Her car was a Mazda 6, its bright red body dazzling in the sunlight.

"That's more like it, this color suits you better."

Xu Lang put the clothes and equipment into the trunk and got into the passenger seat.

"Go to Baihe Canyon in Huairou, Qingshiling Village section."

Upon hearing this location, Qin Feifei was somewhat surprised, "You know this place very well?"

How could we not be familiar with each other?

In his previous life, Xu Lang had visited many filming locations, and he was very familiar with every single tree and blade of grass there.

He raised his camera and said without a hint of modesty, "Of course, I'm a professional photographer, I know all the best outdoor locations!"

"Hehe, you're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat."

Qin Feifei smiled, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

"Hey, Sister Fei, take it easy, I'm not done living yet!"

"How dare you doubt my driving skills? You're so pathetic!"

As if deliberately showing off, Qin Feifei drove even faster and more aggressively.

As for Xu Lang, his previous shouting was purely for creating an atmosphere. No matter how fast or fierce the car is, what can it do when driving in the city?

"Your driving skills?"

Xu Lang found the term amusing. How dare someone boast about their driving skills in front of an experienced driver like me?

"Sister Fei, I never expected someone as delicate and refined as you to like doing something so wild! I never would have guessed!"

Qin Feifei didn't catch the sarcasm in Xu Lang's words and said with some disdain:

"Pfft, what's so impressive about that?"

At this point, she turned and glanced at Xu Lang.

"What's wrong? Are you a really slow driver? Let me tell you, I hate that kind of driving, it's so frustrating!"

"I?"

Xu Lang quickly shook his head.

"Don't let my youth fool you, I'm a driving expert. I never just floor the gas pedal, that's something only inexperienced greenhorns do."

"Um?"

Xu Lang's words were clearly a veiled insult.

Qin Feifei rolled her eyes at Xu Lang, said nothing, but her face turned a little red.

"Haha, at least you're not angry!"

Xu Lang wasn't satisfied and continued:

"An experienced driver once taught me that driving requires courage to start, hands to navigate corners, and feet to stop, but a truly good driver relies on their back!"

As he was speaking, Qin Feifei suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car made a sharp right-angle turn.

"Ahhhh!"

Xu Lang pretended to say it, and began to put his words into practice:

Starting requires courage, but navigating corners requires skill!

Want to pick up girls? You can't do it without guts.

As the car swayed, Xu Lang exaggeratedly tilted his body, pretending to lose his balance, and reached out with his left hand to touch Qin Feifei's thigh.

"Bang!"

Qin Feifei wore a short skirt today so she could easily change clothes during the shoot.

Xu Lang's claw landed squarely on her thigh.

"what!"

Qin Feifei cried out in surprise. Xu Lang felt the smooth, elastic material in his hand suddenly tighten. Its elasticity was as if it had been trained in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, making it bounce back against his hand.

"You sit still right now!"

Qin Feifei frowned and glared at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang reluctantly pulled his hand back, muttering something under his breath.

"Sister Fei, please don't go that far, I can't take it."

Qin Feifei was furious!

She was six years older than Xu Lang. She was a little confused at first by what Xu Lang said, but after thinking about it, she understood.

This kid actually dared to flirt with me?!

That's truly despicable!

Should we turn against him?

Look at that kid's grinning face. If you argue with him, he'll definitely deny it and say he was talking about driving. You can't argue with him about the details of "driving."

We won't fall out, right?

This kid actually dared to take advantage of me, it's outrageous!

Helpless, Qin Feifei had no choice but to slow down the car.

"That's more like it! That's how you last!"

Hearing this, Qin Feifei finally couldn't hold back any longer. She glared fiercely at Xu Lang and said through gritted teeth:

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make sure you can't last any longer!"
