Chapter 62 Chapter 62
Even though you have a bad temper, you have to create the image of a perfect idol in front of the camera. Is it hard?
It depends on your definition of "hard work".
At least Xie Weizhi felt that he had no right to complain about "hard work" as he was earning such a high salary.
In the eyes of fans, he is excellent and modest, kind and gentle, rich but not showing off, does not smoke, drink or curse. He is enthusiastic about public welfare and actively donates and shows his love. Because he said in an interview that he "never had a girlfriend", fans are convinced that he has been single for 26 years and only talks about career and not love.
Sometimes when Xie Weizhi sees fans’ comments, he feels a little confused. Is he really the one they like?
After a drunken sex scene, Xie Weizhi treated it as a dog bite. He calmed down and went to record a variety show.
Compared with film and television dramas, Xie Weizhi prefers variety shows, which pay more and require less work, and also saves money on buying trending searches.
Three days ago, the agent finally found a new assistant, who was said to be the younger brother of the previous driver, Lao Ye. His name was Xiao Ye, and he was a college student who wanted to make some extra money during the summer vacation.
Xiao Ye was wearing a plaid shirt and a pair of thick black-framed glasses, perfectly fitting Xie Weizhi's stereotype of an engineering guy.
Xiaoye is dull and silent, but fortunately he works hard and never talks back when scolded.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xie Weizhi called He Xianyu to the room and gave him an Hermès bag.
Uh, hush money.
He Xianyu accepted it very tactfully.
"Brother Yu, I always thought you were very smart. I hope you wouldn't do anything stupid." Xie Weizhi warned him with a hint of meaning.
He Xianyu nodded.
Xiao Ye came in with a bag of food. He put the food on the table and said with difficulty: "Xie Ge, the rice noodle shop you wanted is closed, so I bought another one--"
Xie Weizhi threw the bag of food directly into the trash can and said unhappily, "Are you a student who has become stupid from studying so much that you can't understand what people are saying? I asked you to buy Yunji! If you don't want to be an assistant, get out now!"
Xiao Ye said in embarrassment: "But Yunji is closed."
"Then can't you think of a way? I don't care, I'm going to eat Yunji rice noodle rolls today. If you can't do it, get out!" Xie Weizhi crossed his arms and looked very stinky.
He has completely different personalities towards his mistress and his assistant.
In front of his mistress, he would still be patient and coax her, but in front of his assistant, Xie Weizhi would reveal the worst side of his character.
At one in the morning, Xie Weizhi finally had the Yunji Rice Noodle Roll he had been craving for. He was in a good mood and was quite friendly to his assistant. He asked curiously, "Xiao Ye, how did you do that?"
Xiao Ye replied seriously, "I found the boss's phone number. I told him that my friend was sick and dying, and wanted to eat his rice noodle rolls for the last time before he died."
Xie Weizhi: “…”
Forget it, for the sake of the rice noodle rolls, he took back the curse words that were about to come out.
Xie Weizhi opened a post, threw the phone to Xiaoye, and asked him to read the message.
Title: Have you watched the new drama of Ozaki? Has his acting really improved as fans say?
Xiao Ye became an emotionless reading machine: "It's so funny. His acting is simply the worst among the top four actors."
"2333Why would Beijing Film Academy allow such a student to graduate?"
"Who allowed him not to use dubbing? The lines are unclear and you have no idea what he is saying without looking at the subtitles. If fans want to do it for the sake of the main character, please bring back the dubbing."
"How can his acting get worse? I don't ask him to make a breakthrough in his acting, but I just hope he can return to the level when he debuted."
"Why does he always frown? He frowns when he's angry, frowns when he's sad, frowns when he's in pain. He's just acting with his eyebrows."
"He doesn't play the role itself, but himself. He always tries to be handsome and cool regardless of the occasion. Girl, look at me and I will charm you to death."
"Why do these rich second-generations have to force-feed shit to the audience? Fans, please eat something good."
"People upstairs, be careful of lawyers' warning letters."
Xiao Ye looked up at Xie Weizhi and saw that his brows were furrowed. He didn't know if he was angry, sad, or in pain, or all of them. "Brother Xie, do you want to read more?"
"Forget it. Go back to sleep." Xie Weizhi took a deep breath.
He called this seemingly self-abuse behavior desensitization therapy.
Is there anything scarier in this world than comments from anti-fans?
Xie Weizhi used black fans to fight poison with poison and heal the severe mental trauma he suffered not long ago.
This treatment seemed to work. That night, Xie Weizhi finally slept soundly, without the nightmare of his body being forcibly opened and then entered.
After the rustling sound, music began to sound.
Xie Weizhi had a rare good night's sleep, and his anger suddenly flared up. He picked up the pillow, threw it towards the source of the sound, and shouted: "Fuck you! Xiaoye, do you want to die?"
After a terrifying silence, Xie Weizhi opened his sleepy eyes and was stunned.
He Xianyu, the photographer and other staff members were also stunned.
When the agent heard the news, he didn't even have time to change his shoes. He came over with a messy head.
Xiao Ye took the blame again: "It's all my fault for making Brother Xie angry yesterday."
After communication, the program team agreed to re-shoot this segment.
Is it difficult to create the image of a perfect idol in front of the camera even though you have a bad temper?
Xie Weizhi thought that if you have an agent who follows you around and cleans up your mess every day, and an assistant who takes the blame, it wouldn't be that difficult to deal with.
——
The time goes back to 5:30 in the morning.
He Xianyu received a special task from the program team. He had to take the room card and wake up the other residents.
The staff member asked: "Do you think this task is difficult?"
He Xianyu clenched his fist, read out the name of the show, and encouraged himself: "Since you are born, you have nothing to fear."
However, he soon encountered a filming accident.
Xie Weizhi's agent was like a grandson, constantly smiling and apologizing to He Xianyu, the staff, and Director Jin, and finally got the program team to agree to permanently delete the clip of Xie Weizhi losing his temper.
He Xianyu finally came to Shi Jin's room. Shi Jin arrived at the hotel at one in the morning because of military matters.
After He Xianyu opened the door with the room card, she thought she would see Shi Jin sleeping soundly, but she didn't expect that the young colonel had already gotten up and was working out with the hotel's dumbbells. He was wearing a white vest, and his well-defined abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen. The muscle lines of his arms that were bulging from exerting force were perfect.
The overflowing hormones made He Xianyu, who had never seen the world, stare blankly.
With this body and muscles, if he is not the most powerful one, then who is?
He Xianyu really wanted to say to Xie Weizhi: Your strength is coming.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the six permanent staff members finished their makeup and gathered in the hotel lobby.
Han Cheng and Xu Bochuan stood in the middle.
On Han Cheng's left are Xie Weizhi and He Xianyu.
On the right hand side of Xu Bochuan are Yan Yan and Shi Jin respectively.
The seemingly random standing positions are actually arranged according to their status.
Shi Jin arrived late, so except for He Xianyu, it was the first time for him to meet the other four people. He shook hands with each of them one by one, "Hello, my name is Shi Jin."
This was Xie Weizhi's favorite type of dark-skinned athlete. In the past, Xie Weizhi would have tried his best to seduce her, but after that nightmare night, Xie Weizhi was temporarily not interested.
"Hello, my name is Xie Weizhi, nice to meet you." Xie Weizhi introduced himself with a smile, and he was the high-quality idol familiar to the public.
Among the six permanent residents, He Xianyu is a newcomer, Shi Jin is an amateur, and the other four have been seen in various large and small activities.
Han Cheng specifically cue He Xianyu, "Xianyu, among the five people on your right, the oldest Bochuan is 25 years older than you, and the youngest Weizhi is 8 years older than you. How do you think we, the older brothers, can narrow the generation gap with you?"
"You don't have to step over. I will try my best to step over to you." He Xianyu knew her position in this variety show and said cleverly, "The needs of the brothers are my mission."
Xie Weizhi clicked his tongue in his heart. Look at this little mouth, it really knows how to talk. She is good-looking and good at studying, she is simply a replica of Xiao Qinghe.
Their generation almost grew up under the shadow of Xiao Qinghe.
As "the child of other people's family", Xiao Qinghe has excellent academic performance since childhood, unlike Xie Weizhi, whose academic performance is terrible.
Xie Weizhi chose to enter the entertainment industry as a beautiful vase, but she didn't expect that a few years later, Xiao Qinghe would also cross over.
In stark contrast to Xie Weizhi's controversial acting skills, Xiao Qinghe received widespread acclaim as soon as he debuted.
No matter how big his heart is, it can't withstand such a cruel comparison. So over the years, he and his childhood friend Xiao Qinghe have been in the entertainment industry together, intentionally or unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, a mini version of Xiao Qinghe appeared in this variety show.
A group of six people took a large seven-seater SUV provided by the sponsor and came to a secret room to officially start today's recording.
The first episode of "Born Fearless" challenges the NPC in the secret room.
A group of six people lined up for the interview.
The manager probably developed his courage in the escape room. Facing the camera and so many celebrities, he was not nervous at all. He asked, "Has everyone played in an escape room before?"
Except for Xu Bochuan and Shi Jin, the other four raised their hands.
The manager then asked, "What qualities do you think a good NPC should have?"
Everyone was talking at once——
"You need to be physically fit."
"Lung capacity needs to be large."
"Good acting skills are required."
"You need to have strong mental qualities."
"Don't be afraid of the dark or ghosts."
"Acting skills are very important." In front of the movie emperor, the manager was a bit of an amateur, but he still went ahead and demonstrated, "Spread your legs in the direction, move your calves backward to support yourself, and stand up with the other leg. Next is the upper body movement, let your hands hang naturally, and lift your head back."
The manager took a few steps forward with a weird zombie-like posture, then pounced on He Xianyu.
He Xianyu very flatteringly made an expression as if he was frightened.
The regulars stepped forward one by one to accept the acting challenge.
Xu Bochuan has never played a zombie, but he has a strong observation ability and can imitate it vividly.
Yan Yan tilted his neck, stuck out his tongue, and walked in a crooked manner, which made everyone laugh.
It was Xie Weizhi's turn. Since his debut, all the roles he played were male gods, and he had no idea how to play a zombie. His acting skills were far inferior to Xu Bochuan's, but he couldn't let go of his burdens and be funny like Yan Yan. He didn't match the two sides, which made his performance very weird.
There was an eerie silence at the scene.
The smile is wrong.
Big bold, are you making fun of the big traffic acting anxiety?
It's even more wrong not to laugh.
How dare you! Are you all jealous of your brother for having so much traffic?
So, it was a cold silence.
"Teacher Xie, I know a secret." He Xianyu quickly came to the rescue, "Draw 6 with your left shoulder, 7 with your right shoulder, draw a circle with your left foot and kick with your right foot. Try it, it's very simple."
With the help of He Xianyu, this part was passed.
Xie Weizhi suddenly remembered what his good friend Zhang Chi said, that Xiao Qinghe outshined him in TV dramas, while He Xianyu outshined him in variety shows.
Xie Weizhi suddenly regretted listening to his agent and participating in this variety show.
Although there is a lot of money, there are also a lot of things to do.
Even more unfortunate was that in the next draw, he was unfortunately chosen to play a female ghost.
The others were assigned roles according to their own characteristics. Xu Bochuan and He Xianyu, one because of his strong acting skills, and the other because of his openness, opened up their ultimate skills against the players in the small room.
The other three held props and were responsible for chasing the players in the aisle.
In the artist lounge.
The agent knew Xie Weizhi too well. As soon as Xie Weizhi lifted his butt, the agent knew what he was going to say.
The agent looked at Xie Weizhi's gloomy face and was already reaching for the quick-acting heart pills in his pocket: "Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"
Xie Weizhi said: "I don't want to play a female ghost."
The agent was startled, looked around, and after confirming that there were no cameras, he coaxed him: "My ancestor, the female ghost is lying in the coffin. It's easy for tourists to scare her. Others have to chase after the players. How tiring."
Xie Weizhi acted condescendingly, "How can I, a male god, dress up as a female ghost?"
The agent was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "I chose this variety show because you wanted to be more down-to-earth. Weizhi, put down your male god airs. Besides, you play a female ghost, which is very popular. I guarantee that you will be the most popular in this episode."
The makeup artist came over and wanted to make him look like a female ghost. Xie Weizhi refused to cooperate and said to his agent: "Let He Xianyu swap roles with me."
If Xie Weizhi can't control Xu Bochuan, Han Cheng and Yan Yan, can't he control a little He Xianyu?
The agent went over to negotiate, sweating profusely, and soon came back sweating profusely again. "That evil woman Zhao Jie said that if she doesn't explain the sudden change of roles clearly, her artists will be scolded. Unless you go over and explain it in person."
"What a joke! What's my status? What's his status? Do you want me to lower myself to you?" Xie Weizhi refused.
Xie Weizhi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has lived a life of luxury since childhood. Since entering the entertainment industry, he has been smooth sailing, which has cultivated his arrogant personality. He has been late, acted like a big shot, and stopped recording at the last minute.
After Xie Weizhi had embarrassed his agent, he went on to embarrass his assistant and asked Xiao Ye to go over and negotiate.
After a while, Xiao Ye brought back the good news, saying that Zhao Jie agreed.
Xie Weizhi was very surprised, "How did you do that?"
Xiao Ye said seriously, "I said that when you were a child, you were scared to death by a female ghost in a horror movie and peed your pants. Since then, you have had a deep fear of female ghosts."
Xie Weizhi was stunned: "How did you know?"
Xiao Ye was also startled, "So it's true?"
Xie Weizhi: “…………”
What is it like to be an NPC in a secret room?
Screaming, twisting, and creeping about, it takes pleasure in scaring the hell out of its players.
Xie Weizhi, hiding behind the ghost mask, slowly let go of his image as a male god and figured out the fun of this variety show.
Back to the original question. Is it hard to create a perfect idol image in front of the camera even though you have a bad temper?
Hard!
He acted as an NPC in a haunted house to scare players, but unexpectedly he was beaten and kicked by the players instead. However, in front of the camera, he could only endure it silently.
At that moment, Xie Weizhi felt really frustrated.
