Chapter 141 I'm in very good health

"Go change your clothes and dry your hair quickly, or you'll catch a cold." Song Shuye was holding a dry towel and immediately handed it to Lu Yinzhao when he got ashore.

"The changing room is over here, I need to change too," Xiao Yuze said to Lu Yinzhao.

Lu Yinzhao nodded and followed Xiao Yuze to change his clothes and blow-dry his hair.

Xiao Yuze also touched up his makeup.

Lu Yinzhao was surprised once again when she saw the other person skillfully applying the makeup products to their face.

That company is awful; look what they've done to the kids.

Fortunately, today's focus is on a natural look, so heavy makeup isn't necessary; something closer to a bare face would be better.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm done. You can go now."

"It's okay, we have a whole day to shoot today. I'll show you when we're done, and I'll delete any parts that you're not satisfied with."

"You won't be dissatisfied, I believe in you."

These words warmed Lu Yinzhao's heart.

Xiao Yuze really has no airs of a celebrity; he was very polite to the photographer throughout the entire process.

It's a real loss for the company to not value such a good artist.

Perhaps all I can do as a photographer is to take good photos this time, and hopefully let more passersby and netizens know about Xiao Yuze.

With this in mind, Lu Yinzhao was full of energy throughout the rest of the filming process.

To save money, Xiao Yuze's agency booked a whole day of his photoshoot.

The company plans to take several sets of photos in different styles for this one day's shoot, and then send them out to the business in batches.

That's a brilliant plan.

Isn't it just because this photographer, who isn't very famous but has pretty good skills, is cheaper?

He'll definitely raise prices later; this bloodsucking company should be secretly happy now.

Lu Yinzhao thought fiercely to himself.

...

After that, they traveled to several other locations to film.

Bringing Song Shuye here today was definitely the right choice.

Despite Song Shuye's help, Lu Yinzhao was still exhausted by the end, mainly because he didn't expect Xiao Yuze to not even have an assistant.

"Isn't your company worried about something happening to you while you're out there?"

During the break, Lu Yinzhao couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuze about this.

"What accident?"

"You're a celebrity, aren't you afraid of being recognized by fans and then being mobbed by them?"

"Hahahaha." Xiao Yuze laughed, a really good laugh, and scratched his head in a silly way. "That's how we 18th-tier celebrities are."

When Xiao Yuze was an idol, he was the kind of unknown idol who didn't get much screen time on shows.

It's already quite an achievement if people can remember his name; even fewer can match his name with his face.

He often goes out to buy his own meals, and no one cares.

This was the first time someone had asked him this question.

"How many years did you sign with your company? I advise you to leave as soon as your contract expires," Lu Yinzhao said sincerely, taking a sip of water.

"I had the same idea, but I don't know where else I could go." Xiao Yuze was actually a little confused about his future plans.

The resources he gets now are all things that others don't want. He picks up the scraps left over from behind others. The fourth male lead role in one of the dramas that just finished filming was one of those scraps.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten that role. Although underwater filming was tough, the production team was pretty good, and Xiao Yuze was already very satisfied.

After hearing about Xiao Yuze's story, Lu Yinzhao pondered for a moment.

He slowly began to speak, "You can go to Feixun Entertainment. That company is much more professional than the one you're currently in. At least they won't treat their artists like dirt."

How do you know all this? Have you worked with any of the artists over there?

"You could say that's one way to put it," Lu Yinzhao casually brushed it off. "Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can consider it and decide for yourself whether to go or not."

"Thank you for telling me all this." Xiao Yuze smiled again, like an honest man.

Feixun Entertainment was his older brother's company, so Lu Yinzhao was naturally aware of that.

It was because he met with artist Xiao Yuze today and felt that Xiao Yuze had good character and resilience that he dared to recommend him.

Lu Xun's studio has only recently transformed into a company, and it's the perfect time to recruit new talent.

Lu Yinzhao had heard Lu Xun mention it before; he wanted to cultivate some hardworking and talented actors. As the company's largest shareholder and also its boss, Lu Xun had a clear vision and plan for his company.

Although Xiao Yuze is an idol, Lu Yinzhao can sense his talent in acting.

The reason why today's filming went so smoothly is because Xiao Yuze is good at understanding the character he wants to portray, and his actions and expressions are perfect.

Recommending such a promising stock to his older brother shouldn't be considered a hindrance, right?

Lu Yinzhao finished speaking there and didn't discuss the topic any further, continuing to work with the camera.

However, just as filming was nearing its end, the weather turned against them, and a sudden downpour began.

All three of them were soaked to the bone.

"Song Shuye, quickly grab my equipment and run to get out of the rain."

"And what about you?" Song Shuye tried to shield himself from the rain with his coat, but it didn't stop him at all.

"I only have a few more photos left to take."

"Huh? You're still filming in this heavy rain?"

"If you say one more word, my equipment risks being damaged by the rain."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, I'll go to the supermarket and buy an umbrella!"

As Song Shuye left with Lu Yinzhao's bag, he was still cursing, "What kind of weather is this? It was sunny just now, and then it changed so suddenly. The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today!"

At this moment, Xiao Yuze was also soaked through, and his hair was tangled in clumps from the rain, but unexpectedly, it made his facial features even more striking.

The light blue shirt he had changed into earlier was still clinging to his skin.

Xiao Yuze was curious: how could he possibly appear on camera looking like this?

"Xiao Yuze, go sit on the ground by the bridge, near the railing..."

"The first movement is to hug your knees with both arms and look down slightly at the ground... Yes, yes... make your expression a little broken."

"The second action is to look over the railing and gaze into the distance. Hmm, very good."

"The third step is to lie down, tilt your head back, and close your eyes..."

Before Xiao Yuze closed his eyes, he saw Lu Yinzhao suddenly pull out a handful of red rose petals from his pocket and scatter them around him as if by magic.

My mind was full of questions. When was this prepared?

Crack—Crack—

Several more in a row.

"Alright, stand up and run from the other side of the bridge to this side. Run fast, I'll take a picture."

A few minutes later, Song Shuye returned, holding one umbrella in one hand and two more in the other.

"Have you finished filming? The rain is getting heavier, why don't you head over first?"

"Hey, wait! The last one!"

Seeing that Song Shuye was holding a transparent umbrella, Lu Yinzhao quickly snatched it from his hand and handed it to Xiao Yuze.

"You're holding this up, looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, understand?"

This time, without Lu Yinzhao's prompting, Xiao Yuze's eyes naturally revealed a melancholy mood.

After taking the photo, Lu Yinzhao glanced at it and exclaimed, "Nice!"

This set of rain-themed photos is incredibly poignant.

Having been a seasoned internet user for a while, he understands what netizens like to watch these days.

"Alright, that's a wrap!"

The three of them walked with umbrellas to a pavilion where they could take shelter from the rain.

Lu Yinzhao opened her bag and glanced inside; nothing was wet.

That's the advantage of choosing a waterproof bag!

He imported the photos he had taken that day into the computer right in front of Xiao Yuze and showed them to him one by one.

What do you think?

"This...this..."

"Whether it's good or bad, don't just keep saying 'good' or 'bad'."

Lu Yinzhao was a little puzzled. Why did he start stuttering after getting caught in the rain?

"Is this really me...? You took such a great picture!" Xiao Yuze's face was full of disbelief.

Because he trusted Lu Yinzhao, he never went over to watch the filming.

He was dumbfounded when he saw the original footage.

Xiao Yuze isn't actually very confident about his appearance; there are many people in the entertainment industry who are better looking than him.

He had taken portraits before, but none of them were as good as the ones taken by this young photographer.

To be narcissistic, Xiao Yuze was even a little impressed with his own handsomeness today.

"As long as you're satisfied, there are over two hundred pictures here, enough for your account to operate for a while. I'll send you the finished product directly after processing."

"Okay, thank you!"

Xiao Yuze bowed sincerely to express his gratitude, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Just call me Xiao Lu." Lu Yinzhao still used the same excuse, unwilling to reveal his real name.

Anyway, people in the entertainment industry love to use stage names, so it's not bad to use this as his industry name.

Afterwards, the three of them took a taxi together, first dropping Xiao Yuze off at his company, and then driving to Huaxing University.

The first thing Lu Yinzhao did upon returning to her dorm was to take a shower.

After drying his hair, Song Shuye asked him, "Do you want some Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine)? I have some here."

"No need, I'll just blow-dry my hair."

"You went into the water and got caught in the rain today, are you sure you don't want to drink a packet as a precaution?" Song Shuye asked rhetorically.

"Don't forget, my physical fitness is much better than yours. During military training, wasn't it me who took care of you when you were sick?" Lu Yinzhao said confidently.

“That’s true. A fragile college student like me should drink Banlangen.” After saying that, Song Shuye made himself a packet and drank it, instantly feeling warm all over.

Lu Yinzhao was exhausted today, so she went straight to bed after drying her hair.

He couldn't wait a moment longer; if he didn't rest soon, he'd develop triple eyelids. On the way back, he kept trying to stay awake.

As soon as I touched the bed, I fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next morning.

When the other three got up, they saw that Lu Yinzhao was still sleeping, so they quickly went to wake him up.

"Xiao Lu, you'll be late if you don't get up soon," Xu Zishi urged.

At this moment, Song Shuye waved his hand, "He doesn't have class for half a day this morning, don't disturb his sleep. I went out with him yesterday to work on filming, and we were exhausted, but... I have class this morning!"

Song Shuye reluctantly got up, dressed, and washed up.

"We both have classes, so let Xiaolu sleep. We'll be going now."

After Xu Zishi and Jiang Yi left, Song Shuye hurriedly grabbed his books for class that morning and chased after them, calling out, "Hey! Wait for me!"

Soon, the room fell silent again.

The person in the bed always covered half of their head with the blanket while sleeping.

Just then, she struggled a few times, the blanket slipped off, revealing her sickly flushed cheeks.
