Chapter 17
From when Jing Jiren first started representing Chen Yueyang, he felt that he wasn’t a fuel-efficient lamp1[Someone who isn’t a fuel-efficient lamp is someone who is hard to deal with, not easy to mess with.]. Facts later proved that Chen Yueyang was indeed a fuel hog.
As an agent, Jing Jiren appreciated this kind of smart but not too slick artist. As a human being, Jing Jiren felt that he didn’t have the ability to win against him.
Chen Yueyang was born for the camera. He knew why he was popular and he knew what the audience liked. That was why he could stand out from that obscure boy band and become the only one who succeeded after going solo.
He also remembered when Chen Yueyang first debuted, and went on a variety show with the boy group. The show invited a fan (actually a staff member) to ask them some questions. The topic was very interesting. They were each asked what their “component” was.
The answers were varied. The first person was selling stupid, saying that he was a “poor, lower middle-class peasant”. The second one was a “single dog”. The third one was “50% cute and 50% handsome”.
…
The microphone reached Chen Yueyang, and he was out of breath after dancing.
Sweat from his brow rolled down onto his eyelashes, kissed his cheek, and finally sank into the curve of his neck. He lowered his eyes for a moment, thought for a while, and when he looked up again, there was a sea of flowers in his eyes.
“If I really had to say… The fact that I could stand here today, and meet all of you, I have to thank my three points of talent, three points of hard work, and three points of fortune.”
Damn it.
Increasing fans increasing fans increasing fans increasing fans. Who doesn’t like a little brother who was sexy and sultry on stage, humble and well-behaved offstage.
After Jing Jiren started representing Chen Yueyang as a solo artist, and became acquainted with him, he realized that Chen Yueyang only said half the truth that day.
Three points of talent, three points of effort, and three points of fortune were true. But he didn’t mention the remaining 91 points of EQ!
With the blessing of high emotional intelligence, the 25-year-old Chen Yueyang had been one of the fastest rising artists of his generation. After debuting five years ago, he had been popular for four and a half, and now he was transforming into a boss.
Chen Yueyang said, “I can’t just think about myself now. This time there’s a rare advertisement where I can bring someone along. I will definitely bring the least famous one and give him some exposure.”
Jing Jiren said, “I understand, I understand, Sima Zhao. The only one who still doesn’t know your line of thinking now is the deer person.”
“…”
Jing Jiren was responsible for informing Fei Chang about the job. Jing Jiren said, “A job has been arranged for you, and it’s a very high starting point.”
Fei Chang said, “Thank you, Jing-ge!”
Jing Jiren said, “BK underwear advertisement.”
Fei Chang said, “…I, I, I, I, can I not shoot it QAQ”
Jing Jiren said, “Because you’re too young?”
The tall youth closed his legs and shyly covered his crotch. “Because I’m shy.”
Jing Jiren nodded. “You’re a newcomer who has just debuted, that’s understandable.” He put the work order away, “Then I’ll tell Yueyang in a while.”
“…Why do you need to tell senior brother?”
“Because he will also be shooting the ad.”
“…”
“?”
“I’ll shoot!”
Jing Jiren thought coolly. It seemed that even Sima Zhao didn’t understand the deer person’s heart.
…
Soon, the day for filming the commercial came.
Inside the nanny car sat the senior brother and junior brother, plus three assistants and an agent. Fei Chang balled himself up on the seat, and the whole time, he was too afraid to look at Chen Yueyang, who was sitting beside him.
Chen Yueyang teased him, “Very nervous?”
Fei Chang replied, “I’m not nervous.”
“Then why are you shaking?”
The baby giraffe said stubbornly, “Because the air conditioner is too cold.”
The Tibetan antelope brother reached out and touched his hoof, and felt cold sweat on his palm.
It turned out he was really scared.
It made sense when you thought about it. When other artists made their first commercials, it was usually fast-food, sneakers, or shampoo, but Fei Chang received an advertisement for a world-famous clothing brand.
And this clothing brand only had two pieces of cloth on the front and back.
This time, BK underwear invited Chen Yueyang to be the season’s ambassador. What they valued was his sexy image, full of hormones, on the screen.
In the past, Chen Yueyang had modelled every kind of look for the five major fashion magazines. Even when he wore the most well-behaved white shirt, he could give it a special flavour.
This time they planned on shooting three sets of photos and a short film. The overall color tone was black, white and gray, highlighting a seductive, hazy ambiguity.
They had already received the ad script in advance. The plot was very simple. In summary, this was the story: A beauty strayed into a naked male bar, where all the men only wore underwear. First, the beauty was seduced by Fei Chang, and flirted with him. Then Chen Yueyang stepped out. The beauty immediately left Fei Chang and ran towards Chen Yueyang.
Fei Chang said, “…I think this story is a bit illogical.”
Chen Yueyang said, “It’s a new director, it’s understandable.”
What senior brother said was what it was.
When they arrived at the shooting site, the scene was still being set up, and it was messy everywhere.
Seeing that the leading actor came with his supporting actor, the brand representative happily greeted them with a rack hung with clothing samples.
Fei Chang looked around. There were more than 20 pairs of underwear on the rack, three-cornered underwear and four-cornered underwear, leopard prints and solid colours, without a single repeat.
Boxer briefs were popular nowadays, but some boxer briefs were more conservative, loose like a pair of small swimming suits. But some boxer briefs were very close-fitting, not only outlining the shape of the buttocks, but also lying flush against the crotch, which was very eye-catching.
Fei Chang, blushing, took the former type.
Without any embarrassment, Chen Yueyang took the latter.
The brand said: “I’m really sorry. Our tent is a bit small, with only three dressing rooms. One is for the heroine, and the other is for the other male models, so I’ll trouble you to share a room between the two of you.”
Chen Yueyang: “It’s no trouble :)”
Chen Yueyang had a lot of clout, and the dressing room left for him was not small, definitely enough to hold two people.
Yet Fei Chang immediately ran into the corner as he entered the dressing room, using some chairs to erect a wall around himself. But he underestimated his height. Standing inside the “wall” made of chairs, the “wall” didn’t even reach the base of his thigh.
So after he took off his clothes, he found that his little giraffe had risen above the “wall”, peeking its head out in the direction of his senior brother. Fei Chang angrily grabbed the little giraffe’s head and asked it why it was so disobedient. But there was nothing he could do.
Who made his senior brother’s muscles so perfect and his butt so perky?
