Chapter 23: Ugly
After Chu Yunshu was confirmed to participate, all the guests of "The Journey of Music" were in place, and the next day he received a notice to go to the crew to try on costumes and take promotional photos.
The artist PD who met him was a young girl who had just graduated from school for internship. When she saw Chu Yunshu, her eyes immediately lit up: "Hello, Mr. Chu, my name is Xiaoyou, I will follow up on your subsequent filming work, please give me your guidance."
Oh my god, I thought Hao Yifeng and Qi Zhao were good-looking enough, but I didn’t expect someone even better looking would come along.
"Music Journey" is going to rely on appearance to win. With a few handsome guys like these to support the show, the ratings are definitely guaranteed.
Xiaoyou was very excited and took Chu Yunshu to the dressing room.
The makeup artists of the program team have become immune to handsome guys. There is the entertainment industry's number one beauty Hao Yifeng, and the little prince of ancient costume Qi Zhao. When they heard Xiaoyou say that another handsome guy came, they were a little disapproving.
But when Chu Yunshu went in, they were still amazed.
"I think our show is going to be really popular this time." Makeup artist Lan Lan stared at Chu Yunshu's bright and beautiful face and swallowed.
"Come here, handsome guy, sit here, I'll do your makeup." Lan Ling raised her index finger and "kidnapped" Chu Yunshu over first.
Lanlan smiled helplessly. Lan Ling was a guy who liked to get close to handsome guys whenever he saw them. He wished that every one of them was gay so that he would have a chance to hook up with one.
But it is obvious that Chu Yunshu is a straight man no matter how you look at it.
The aura around him is not someone who is easy to approach, so they can just look at such a person.
While Lan Ling was still marveling at Chu Yunshu's great skin, saying she didn't even need to put on foundation and only needed to trim her eyebrows and get a wig done, the makeup team was notified to make Chu Yunshu look ugly.
"What do you mean?" Lan Ling was confused when he was called out to explain. "Why did you find such a handsome guy if you want to look ugly?"
There are many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but not all of them are handsome men and beautiful women. There are still many celebrities who have become famous only because of their ability and not their looks.
He knows several artists who look very ordinary but are very good at variety show effects.
He always spoke directly: "Are you afraid that he will steal Qi Zhao's limelight?"
Everyone in the program crew knows that Qi Zhao is Helian Jie's man, and the main purpose of this season is to promote Qi Zhao.
The makeup team leader punched him on the shoulder and said, "You said whatever you want. Don't you want this job?"
Obviously, that's what is meant above.
Although she didn't understand, if she was afraid that Chu Yunshu would steal Qi Zhao's limelight, she shouldn't let him participate in the show. I don’t know what the production crew was thinking by finding such a handsome guy to play an ugly role.
But they are just workers. It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand some things. They just need to do as they are told.
Xiaoyou was also notified that Chu Yunshu not only had to act ugly, but also had to act stupid during the recording of the show. In short, he is asked to highlight the intelligence, handsomeness and high emotional intelligence of others.
"Um... Teacher Chu, could you please take a look at this information first?" Xiaoyou didn't know how to start, so he simply handed the information to Chu Yunshu and let him read it himself.
Although she had just graduated from school, her major was related to the entertainment industry, so she paid a lot of attention to the things happening in the circle and had a general understanding of the rules of this circle.
Needless to say, she knew that Chu Yunshu must have offended someone, and now someone wanted to punish him.
Her guess was correct. There was indeed someone who wanted to frame Chu Yunshu, and Chu Yunshu also guessed who this person was.
There is no one else except Lin Yang.
This was the first time that he couldn't get what he wanted and he also suffered a lot at the hands of others. There was no way Lin Yang could swallow this. He was the first one to set his eyes on Chu Yunshu. Even if Helian Jie had that intention, it was impossible for him to snatch her away without Lin Yang agreeing.
So after inviting Chu Yunshu to his variety show, he had a meal with Lin Yang. Lin Yang had no objection to Chu Yunshu's participation in the recording of "The Journey of Music", but he mentioned to Helian Jie that he wanted to give Chu Yunshu a hard time.
Anyway, the person was already in his group, so Helian Jie didn't care and just gave his subordinates some hints.
Since his temper is so strong that even Lin Yang can't tame him, let's try to tame him. Helian Jie and Qi Zhao are currently in a hot relationship, so he is not in a hurry to get close to Chu Yunshu.
Once his character becomes more docile, it will be good for him to pick up ready-made ones.
Chu Yunshu looked at the shooting plan Xiaoyou gave him, and didn't ask anything. He just said, "I know."
After that, he continued to let Lan Ling help him with his styling.
He didn't care about his appearance. In his opinion, a man didn't need to be very good-looking, ability was the most important thing.
He doesn't care about acting ugly or stupid, as long as he gets the money.
Yu Shuang and Chu Bin had a very hard time, and he wanted to help them share some of the burden.
This was the first time he felt at home, and he wanted to do something.
Originally, Lan Ling had no intention of putting any makeup on Chu Yunshu's face. Her face was already pretty enough, and putting anything on it would be superfluous and would only destroy that natural beauty.
But now that Chu Yunshu has to make himself look ugly, he has to "overdo it".
So an hour later, Chu Yunshu stood in front of the camera with a pale face and blush that looked like it was allergic. The promotional photos taken by other people are full of ancient charm, as if they are young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families.
Only Chu Yunshu looked like he had escaped from a mental hospital, his clothes were obviously too big and his hair was disheveled.
The photos taken seem like they are from two different worlds compared to the other guests.
The publicity team was also confused when they received the photo: "Is this too much?"
In the end, the program planner said that this was exactly the effect they wanted, so they put the photos of Chu Yunshu and others on a poster.
As expected, as soon as the promotional photos were released, Chu Yunshu received a lot of questioning voices.
[Who is this person? Why does he look like this? 】
[Is this a joke?] 】
[I thought "The Journey of Music" was going to set up a costume beauty show this time, but I didn't expect such a person to suddenly come. What does this mean? 】
[Are you a newcomer?] Chu Yunshu? I've never heard of this name. 】
[Could it be that another ugly kid of a capitalist is going to venture into the entertainment industry? 】
Is this makeup serious? Judging from the looks of Hao Yifeng, Qi Zhao and others, the aesthetic of the show should be on point. 】
[Hehe, I guess he did it on purpose.] This person probably knew that she had no advantage among the handsome men and beautiful women, so she did this kind of makeup to attract attention. As a result, she was noticed immediately. 】
[I hate this kind of people the most. It’s really boring to deliberately make people look funny and ugly. Is it interesting? 】
In fact, Chu Yunshu’s promotional photos are not without their merits. The face can be deliberately made ugly and the clothes can be ill-fitting, but those eyes cannot be changed.
Even though the makeup was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at, Chu Yunshu's pair of peach blossom eyes, which should have been full of charm, were so cold and clear that it was hard to ignore them. Just those eyes could make people believe that behind the exaggerated makeup was a bright, generous, and extremely handsome face.
So when the program team released the promotional photos, they also processed Chu Yunshu's eyes to make his expression look a little dull. With the weird makeup, he looks like a fool.
Compared with other people's makeup which is not only normal but even exquisite, it would be strange for Chu Yunshu to receive good reviews.
Not long after the promotional posters for "The Journey of Music" were released, Chu Yunshu's Weibo received a long list of private messages asking him to get out of the show. Netizens felt that his presence lowered the quality of the show.
Fortunately, Chu Yunshu doesn’t use Weibo at all, and his account is also operated by Zhou Yan, so these extreme remarks did not affect him.
