This seems to be a very private space. In addition to a mirror and a dressing table on one side for people to use, 1/4 of the room is a tatami covered with a mat, and there are also cushions and a TV. One can imagine the two idols sitting around the table to rest and watch TV after work. Liu Hao realized that although Sanjiao Chuhua is already a famous star, and is very mature in both appearance and behavior, he is just a high school student. It is impossible for him not to be tired when balancing career and study, right?
But being an idol should be quite profitable, so that's fine.
Occasionally, the sound of staff members walking around outside the door could be heard. After Liu Hao replied to Su Shi and Xiao Mu on his mobile phone, he thought for a while about what to say when he went to meet the agent of the agency. However, this kind of plan could not be decided in one go, so he would just have to adapt to the situation when the time comes.
After daydreaming for a while, Liu Hao's attention was drawn to a piece of musical notation on the table.
To be precise, this is a semi-finished product with lyrics written on it. Only the first two sentences have music. The meaning of the lyrics is also very simple. It probably describes the story of a protagonist who falls in love and boldly confesses his love after experiencing a series of spiritual struggles. It is no different from many assembly-line love lyrics on the market.
In the past, Liu Hao would have scoffed at such gratuitous lyrics. "Do you like it? It's the secretion of hormones, the stimulation of cerebellar dopamine, an unrealistic fantasy, a desire for someone's body, you're despicable."
But now, Liu Hao looked at the lyrics written on the paper, reading them word by word in Japanese, and couldn't help but smile. What appeared in his mind were Xiangzi's beautiful eyes under the moonlight, Su Shi's charming smile when she turned around in an apron, Ruoye Mu's shy face with a sheet covering half of his face, and Aine's cute canine teeth when she smiled proudly...
Liu Hao hummed along with the prelude of only two sentences on the simple musical notation, as if a butterfly with flapping wings was flying through his mind. The pleasant melody came out naturally from his throat and then poured out from the tip of his pen, like the sound of a clear spring in the mountains, completed in one breath.
He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice when someone came in and said, "Chuhua, am I late?"
"I should... I'm not late, am I?"
Miss Shin Mana didn't get a response from the bent figure on the sofa, so she carefully confirmed again. Chuhua never lost her temper with her, but Miss Haruko was very strict. Although it was for their own good, the legendary handsome and gentle agent only existed in legends in the cruel entertainment industry.
Idols must stay in top shape, so a good midday beauty sleep is a must!
I'm not making excuses. Being late is being late. I'm just explaining why. Don't be angry. I definitely won't do it again next time. How about treating you guys to donuts tonight? Cat donuts or parrot donuts? Anyway, keep your spirits up for the afternoon business. I'll do my best too!
Junda Shinai, who had been imagining an apology in her mind, suddenly stopped, because a moving melody broke into her mind. The melody was full of enthusiasm and longing, but when she listened carefully, she could feel a faint bitterness and an alienation that she couldn't bear to desecrate. The other person was very close to her heart, but seemed very far away, just like love!
Mana Junta's heart melted when she was described by the media as a super beautiful girl idol who could immerse herself in the melody.
Liu Hao's mind was also wandering. While he stopped humming, he also completed a complete simple score on his pen. His mood was sometimes happy and sometimes conflicted, but there was never any hesitation in his writing. Perhaps this is the result of natural creation and accidental achievement of a master's hand.
But just when Liu Hao wanted to hum it again, a slender body suddenly hugged him from behind. The feeling of being pressed against him was so soft and firm. Along with the sweet fragrance, a sweet and fragrant voice came: "That's great, Chuhua, after worrying for so long, you finally wrote the song!"
"what?"
"what!"
Liu Hao turned his head and almost touched Mana's nose. Their breaths sprayed on each other's faces, and their big eyes were full of surprise.
"You're not Chuhua? Oh, sorry, sorry, I got the wrong person!"
"..."
Even admitting his mistake? Liu Hao suddenly wondered if someone had deliberately taken advantage of him...
Volume 143: Chapter Chapter Director, you are really good at judging people
"So you're Chuhua's friend... Sorry, sorry, I really made a mistake. After all, usually only she and I can enter this lounge, hehehe..."
Her brown hair and big eyes make her look cute and innocent. Her light makeup is not excessive, but rather highlights her fair skin and rosy lips. Just a slight curl of her lips makes her look full of energy. Now, with her hands clasped together in apology, people really think it is a misunderstanding, although Liu Hao's male voice and back are unlikely to be confused with Chu Hua.
"fine."
Liu Hao waved his hand, completely convinced in his heart that such an innocent little girl could have any bad intentions. He hadn't suffered any harm anyway, and besides, it didn't matter if this misunderstanding happened a few times. Come on, a mature man like him could definitely handle it.
"By the way, you are?"
"Hey, don't you know me?"
Mana blinked, somewhat incredulous. I'm a super cute and beautiful idol girl, and you're still in the backstage of our agency, and you don't even recognize me?
"Looks familiar... Oh, now I remember, you are... that..."
Liu is stuck. What is the name of Sumimi, the other member of the triangle besides Chuhua?
"Yeah, that's right. Tell me my name. If you want an autograph or a photo, just tell me."
Mana nodded repeatedly in agreement with Liu Hao's words. As a skilled idol, she was already very familiar with this kind of fan business. She had to always stay energetic and cute in front of her fans. This was the professional spirit of an idol.
"..."
"Don't play hard to get. If you can't remember my name, I'll get angry even if I'm super cute."
"..."
Liu Hao turned his head to pretend to check the time, avoiding the resentment in Mana's eyes. "By the way, don't you have a filming announcement? I wish you immediate success, all your dreams come true, a bright future, and smooth sailing."
Mana puffed up her cheeks, feeling quite frustrated, but Liu Hao's words did remind her that if she didn't go to the studio, she would definitely be late.
"Yes~"
Mana turned around, still feeling a bit humiliated, so she turned to Liu Hao and said, "Why don't you come visit the studio? This is a rare opportunity."
Liu Hao shook his head: "No, I won't bother the staff."
"As long as you promise not to film privately, it's totally fine."
"May I?"
To be honest, Liu Hao was quite interested. It wasn't that he was curious about the so-called idols, but he just wanted to know more about the filming scenes in the entertainment industry. He had done many types of part-time jobs, but he had never been an extra. This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Of course, let's go together."
Mana Junda was walking in front, and when she saw Liu Hao following out of the corner of her eye, she pouted and thought, "Hmph, let me show you how super cute this idol is. I will definitely make you become my fan!"
With the idol lady leading the way, Liu Hao of course entered the studio smoothly.
Mana went to Ms. Hatsuka and Ms. Haruko. It seemed that she was criticized by her agent for almost being late. Of course, it was just talk. After Mana apologized with a lively smile, Ms. Haruko arranged for them to put on makeup and change clothes.
Liu Hao quietly found a corner and observed silently. As the scene was full of mixed people, in addition to the office staff, there were also the client and the advertising company's director team. The three parties thought that Liu Hao was from the other two parties, so Liu Hao was not very conspicuous.
There were at least thirty or forty staff members busy at the scene. The ones Liu Hao could recognize included the director, script manager, lighting, cameraman, stage set designer... These people completed each task in an orderly manner in a chaotic manner, and soon made preparations in an orderly manner.
It is precisely because of so many behind-the-scenes staff that the idols can shine in the front stage. Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about dreams without talking about reality. There must be actual benefits to support the salaries of so many staff members.
Of course, the real protagonists are always the idols shining under the spotlight. Sanjiao Chuhua changed into a black dress, which instantly made her temperament more mature, as if she was a cold and unruly goddess. Next to her, Juntian Mana was wearing a chiffon dress, with brown hair draped over her shoulders, bright eyes and a charming look. She was pure and playful, as if she was the school beauty next door.
However, after everything was ready, the male lead did not show up. It was not until the assistant informed the director that the male lead had an emergency and could not make it that the director breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's pretty good. That effeminate guy thinks he's so handsome. He even refused to take his makeup off. His greasy, powdered face is totally unsuitable for this role."
The assistant asked, "What should we do? Cancel the shoot or find a temporary replacement?"
"We can't cancel it. So many people are already prepared. How can we cancel it now?" the director ordered. "Find someone to fill in temporarily. Have him get here within half an hour."
"Who would be more suitable? It would be difficult to call a popular idol over now without prior notice."
"No need. Just call a college student from the acting department in your group. He doesn't need to be a handsome idol. Just someone a little better than the average person. Someone with a sunny and energetic look..." The director suddenly paused, having spotted someone among the staff whose appearance and temperament perfectly matched his imagination. He pointed to Liu Hao, who was looking around at the side, and said to his assistant, "That person is perfect. Go call him over for an audition."
"Then do we still need to call college students?"
"Scream, prepare for both situations, at worst I can just give him a few shots to compensate him."
So Liu Hao was brought to the director by the assistant with a confused look on his face. The director explained the pros and cons to him and told him that the opportunity to become rich was right in front of him. He should seize it well and he would have a bright future.
Liu Hao was about to refuse outright. What do you mean by "normal handsome"? I said it was modesty, and you said it was excessive, and you had a bright future. I just like saying no to self-righteous people like you...
"Of course, I'll pay you according to the highest standard for amateurs, 100,000 yen per afternoon."
"..." Liu Hao said seriously, "Director, you are really good at judging people."
So, after a simple audition by the director, he was very satisfied and introduced Liu Hao to the two female protagonists who were acting opposite her.
Both Sankaku Hatsuka and Junda Mana opened their eyes wide in surprise. They didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"Liu Hao?"
"It's you?"
Liu Hao just shrugged and said to Sanjiao Chuhua, "Your words really came true. I'm really going to experience the life of an idol."
Idol? Not interested.
But if it’s 100,000 yen, I’ll take it!
Volume 144: Chapter Chapter Hatsuka and Mana's Male Protagonist
Today's filming content is a lactic acid bacteria drink advertisement, the plot is actually very simple——
The male protagonist pursues the cold goddess played by Sanjiao Chuhua desperately, giving her different gifts every time, but fails every time. The last time he gives her a drink, he is still rejected. So the male protagonist drinks the drink himself. After a period of cool summer singing and dancing, he meets the innocent school girl Junda Mana who is also drinking a drink. The two fall in love, and finally Mana says the slogan, "Calpis, enjoy the sweetness of love in summer."
The content is very simple and does not require any acting skills. The male protagonist's existence is also to serve as a foil for the two female idols. He cannot overshadow the main characters, but must be able to allow fans to empathize with the characters. It is a fairly standard idol advertising plan.
"This script seems so general. Does it require any free rein?"
While Liu Hao was enduring the damage done to his face by the makeup artist, he was reading the script. After all, he was not a professional, so he had to humbly ask for advice from the director's assistant who was wearing a deerstalker hat.
The assistant was quite patient with a novice like Liu Hao. He briefly explained that advertising scripts are generally storyboard-based, with plot as a secondary component. After all, advertising is all about immediate visual impact. This simple script is the style of this advertising director. Compared to a steady shoot, the director prefers to make last-minute changes or let the actors perform on the spot while he does the tracking and editing. Therefore, he has certain requirements for the actors' appearance and performance.
As expected, you get what you pay for. It's really not easy to earn these 100,000 yen.
But it doesn't matter. For a working warrior like Liu Hao, this amount of compensation is enough for him to maximize his subjective initiative. So much so that when he saw himself in the mirror with his makeup done, Liu Hao could not help himself.
Is this still me? Who are you, handsome guy?
"Don't ask. If you do, it's the makeup artist's credit."
Liu Hao saw Sanjiao Chuhua pursing his lips and trying hard to suppress a smile. He didn't know why, but when he was unkempt, he was confident and cheerful, but now that he has become a real handsome guy with the help of East Asian evil magic, he feels a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, please give me some advice later."
"Well, please give me some advice."
In Chu Hua's eyes, Liu Hao's reserved behavior was just like when she first debuted. The gentle girl reached out and pressed Liu Hao's shoulders, helping him to relax his tense muscles. She smiled and said, "We didn't suddenly become phoenixes, but we have always been like this, so this is who we are."
Liu Hao looked at the elegant and beautiful blonde girl in front of him. Beneath her beautiful purple eyes was her gentle yet strong heart. Without too many words, Liu Hao naturally understood the meaning of Chu Hua's words. The ugly duckling knew itself well, but there was no need to be restrained when it turned into a white swan. No matter what, it was still itself.
"I'm grateful for your advice." Liu Hao said to Chu Hua, "To show my gratitude, I will definitely give my all next time and try to pass it on my first try."
Chu Hua smiled and said, "So confident?"
“That’s how confident I am.”
"Do you have any tricks?"
Liu Hao jokingly said, "Really? I'll just treat you as Xiangzi when the time comes."
"Then I can try what it's like to be Xiangzi."
Chu Hua blinked his eyes. It was so nice to be able to joke with friends on the set. It seemed that work was not so tiring at all.
Mana Junda watched the two of them chatting and laughing, and for some reason she felt a little jealous. Chuhua is my partner, why are you guys talking and laughing now? With this thought, Mana, who had just been so attracted by Liu Hao's handsome face after putting on makeup, now found it a bit hateful.
"I will do my best too, let's all do our best!"
Mana suddenly inserted herself between Liu Haosi and Chuhua, showing her presence with full energy. It seemed that she was a little too strong, but it made people feel that such directness was what an idol should be. This was Mana's idol killer move, full of energy and full firepower.
"Well, let's do our best together."
"come on."
The three of them put their hands together, pressed down hard, and after cheering each other up, they officially started filming.
The first half of the filming was relatively simple. Liu Hao only needed to strike various poses to express his love to the cold goddess played by Sanjiao Chuhua, such as meeting by chance, kneeling on one knee, pretending to hang on a wire out of the window... One licked her hard and the other refused. There was no need for any rivalry at all. Except for touching up the makeup, the director didn't call for a stop, and several sets of shots were shot quickly.
The second half was a little more difficult. Not only was there no detailed script, but the director also required us to act out the shyness and secret joy of falling in love at first sight. We had to embody the sweet and sour feeling of love, and he would edit in these shots.
This posed a problem for Liu Hao and Mana. Mana was a pure girl and had never been in love before. As for Liu Hao, if his experience could be considered a love relationship, it seemed that he was passive most of the time...
"No, no, your acting is too obvious. I don't feel your reserved enthusiasm at all. I'll give you five minutes to build up your emotions. I won't stop you from now on. You have full control over your performance."
Mana held her face in her hands and said with some frustration: "Wow, the director said that..."
But the next moment, this energetic girl patted her cheeks and said, "Cheer up, Mana, you can do it. You are a super beautiful girl idol."
"Oh~!!"
Liu Hao was beside the girl and made a sound of sudden realization.
Mana suddenly felt happy: "Do you know how to build up your emotions?"
"No, so your name is Mana."
"..." Mana looked at Liu Hao's handsome but hateful face, puffed up her cheeks and said fiercely, "I'll catch you!"
Liu Hao found that he enjoyed teasing girls more and more. He even didn't let go of the idol he just met. What a bad taste. He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Ahem, why don't you make good use of the time to cultivate your emotions. There are only a few minutes left."
"Do you have experience?"
"Maybe it is possible... Can you and I look at each other and try?"
"Then we can only try."
So the two of them tilted their heads and leaned over at the edge of the studio and began to look at each other. Mana had fair skin, big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and her beautiful lips were gently pursed, even the reflective glaze on her lips looked so sweet. Mana was also looking at Liu Hao's deep black eyes, and suddenly the melody that Liu Hao had hummed in the lounge just now rang in her head, and her heart began to beat wildly for no reason.
"No, no, no."
“It feels so weird.”
