Ming Yu was popular. He didnât really feel it, but Zhao Rui was well aware of it.
âIn the past two days, the number of gifts sent to the company has increased and the fans on your official website and weibo are also rising!â Zhao Rui showed the IPad while speaking emotionally, âMing Yu, you are really popular! Remember to wear a mask and sunglasses when you go out later. Donât get in trouble!â
Ming Yu put down the magazine after hearing this and looked at his agent with a dumbfounded expression. âBrother Zhao, when have you every seen me without a mask when going out? This is Beijing, I really canât live if I donât wear a mask.â
Ming Yuâs voice faded, while a woman finished going through the materials and said with a laugh. âMing Yu, be careful. I remember that you have a little allergic rhinitis, remember to always bring a medicine spray with you. There is more likely to be an outbreak of rhinitis on hazy days, so be careful.â
âOkay, Sister Luo.â
The company had assigned Luo Ru as Ming Yuâs assistant two days ago. Although she was just an assistant, Luo Ruâs strategist demeanor and calm way of speaking impressed Zhao Rui, who allowed her to participate in some of Ming Yuâs activities.
Luo Ru was a woman with long hair who wore it in a ponytail. She wore silver glasses and always wore a decent traditional suit, unlike the models and agents. For example, Zhao Rui wore casual clothing. Luo Ru seemed more like a white-collar elite who worked nine to five.
At this moment, she was sorting through the invitations sent to Ming Yu. Some of them were distributed by the company, but most were directly sent by the company involved. Since Ming Yu had gained a bit of fame, the company raised his rank to the second-tier. There were even many fashion magazines and entertainment shows that threw him an olive branch.
However, Ming Yu was still in the early stages so the invitations were of varying quality, requiring careful selection by Zhao Rui and Luo Ru. After an afternoon of careful selection, Zhao Rui held two notices and hesitated. âThe small supporting role in the movie means you can enter the entertainment industry, but this talk show is also not bad. It is really difficult to choose.â
The fashion industry and entertainment industry seemed unrelated, but they were actually inextricably linked.
For example, Wu Yuzhen played the guest role of a small police officer in a movie and got the nickname of âSir Wuâ, resulting in more fans in the fashion industry.
But in general, it was rare for someone to work actively in both fields. After all, it required a lot of energy as well as talent. A supermodel didnât necessarily have superb acting, while a movie actor might not be able to control his aura on the catwalk.
Wu Yuzhen succeed, but since then, he never accepted any TV series or movie invitations. He solely devoted himself to the fashion industry. Ming Yuâs status was lower than Wu Yuzhenâs at that time, and he knew that there was some risk in entering the entertainment industry.
Ming Yu thought for a moment after hearing Zhao Ruiâs words and asked, âBrother Zhao, what type of role is it?â
Luo Ru directly replied. âIt is a suspense movie. A group of young people courted disaster and called a spirit. They died one by one, leaving only the heroine alive. She paused before adding. âThe movie side invited you to play the role of the first person who dies in the school. This movie has a small budget and your image is good. The compensation isnât high, but it is a good choice for you.â
Ming Yu couldnât help laughing after hearing this. He raised his hand and asked, âCan I know if this is the first âSpirit Callingâ?â
Luo Ru and Zhao Rui were surprised because Ming Yu bluntly said the movie name âSpirit Calling.â After a moment, Zhao Rui replied, âThis is the fifth. The director has previously directed four Spirit Callings. The first box office result was good, but the others fell flat.
Ming Yu realized that it was nothing more than a series of movies. The directorâs mind:
The first movie: âTake a story no one has made. How about calling a spirit?â
The second movie: âWow, the first box office result was so high! Letâs make a second one!â
The third movie: âThe box office might be a bit lower than before, but I am familiar with this story. Continue to shoot it!â
The fourth movie: ââŚShoot it.â
The fifth movie: âNo, I have a breaktrhough! Simply find handsome people and focus on the face!â
âŚâŚ
Huaxiaâs suspense horror movies were fundamentally unchanged in this world, so Ming Yu knew all about it. He was a horror movie enthusiast. Unfortunately, Huaxiaâs horror movies were a bit scary but didnât have enough bloody stimulation. Meanwhile, the European and American horror movies were bloody, but there wasnât enough suspense.
Of course, to put it plainly, Ming Yu had played an important supporting role in a movie in his previous life.
Nobody was perfect. Ming Yu mightâve been the unique top male model of China at that time, but his acting skill was unacceptable. The movie peeled a layer of skin of Ming Yu and strengthened his determination not to go into acting.
And nowâŚ
âBrother Zhao, I think the talk show is good.â Ming Yu smiled at his agent and assistant and explained. âThe series of movies wonât expand my popularity that much, so the compensation isnât worth it. The talk show is the opposite.â
Zhao Rui nodded. âI think so as well. But do you really not want to cameo in a movie to increase your popularity?â
Ming Yu firmly shook his head. âRight now, I am still in the early stages and donât see the need to cross industries. SIster Luo, donât you think so?â
Luo Ru gently nodded and expressed her approval.
Zhao Rui no longer tried to persuade him. Ming Yuâs words made sense and Zhao Rui had no opinion. Thus, it was decided that Ming Yu would go on a talk show after the Pei Feng fashion show.
Three days later was the official opening of Pei Fengâs autumn fashion show. During this period, Ming Yu had nothing to do. However, he kept up his energy by watching Cheng Suâs many catwalks. From his debut to when he became popular, Ming Yu looked at Cheng Su growing step by step until he became a large tree.
Cheng Su had a bit of talent and was clever, but he also knew how to grab opportunities. These types of people would become popular.
Everything was reasonable.
Pei Fengâs official autumn fashion show of 2016 dawned. Luo Ru arrived early in the morning and took Ming Yu to the venue. It was still dawn, but Luo Ru took into account the potential traffic jam. They arrived at the hall at Beijingâs Fifth Ring Road at exactly 8 oâclock.
As a model in the show, Ming Yu walked directly through the side door, allowing him to miss the reporters blocking the main entrance. Zhao Rui had already been waiting at the venue for some time. After seeing that Ming Yu arrived, he directed Ming Yu to the dressing room.
This time, Ming Yuâs make-up artist wasnât Xiao Chen. All of Pei Fengâs first-tier make-up artists were present. They were skilled, allowing the same smoky make-up to have different effects on each modelâs face.
The female make-up artist waited until Ming Yuâs make-up was finished before smiling and shaking hands with him. âXiao Chen is my apprentice. He told me about you. Ming Yu, thank you for taking care of him last time.â
Ming Yu was slightly startled by the words, before smiling gently. âIt is Brother Chen who took care of me, Sister Zheng.â
The youthâs gentle and soft smile caused Sister Zheng to be slightly startled. Ming Yu was turning to go when she suddenly stopped him. He looked at her with surprised eyes and she said, âMing Yu, if you donât mind, can I add a mole on you? Looking at the overall feeling of your make-up, I think the effect will be better if a mole was added.â
Ming Yu was familiar with the overall aspects of modelling, but he wasnât a master when it came to make-up. Sister Zheng had served as Pei Fengâs make-up artist for many years, so she naturally would have siperior vision. Therefore, Ming Yu calmly accepted Sister Zhengâs proposal, allowing her to gently draw a mole under his right eye.
It was just a seemingly simple mole, but it made Luo Ru look stunned.
Before leaving the dressing room with Ming Yu, Luo Ru solemnly handed her business card to Sister Zheng.
When Zhao Rui came with his clothes, he also looked slightly shocked when he saw Ming Yu. Zhao Rui asked, âWho gave you the mole? It feels so different! Ming Yu, this make-up artistâs skills are really superb. It is the same smoky make-up as last time, but you feel quite different.â
Ming Yu naturally looked in the mirror to check his current appearance. Therefore, he laughed when he heard Zhao Ruiâs words. âSister Zheng is a very powerful make-up artist.â He paused and turned to Luo Ruo. âSister Luo, just now, you gave your business card to Sister Zheng right?â
Luo Ru suddenly stared at his words. After a long moment, she nodded. âYes, I gave her a business card.â
Ming Yu didnât speak again and Luo Ru no longer answered.
As Luo Rui made arrangements with the Pei Feng people about the final catwalk plan, Ming Yu looked between Luo Ru and Zhao Rui before slightly narrowing his eyes.
Luo Ru, this person was extremely smart and she had various methods. How could the company arrange such a smart person to be his assistant? If this person was given the chance, she could definitely become a first-tier agent.
âMing Yu, what are you looking at?â

Zhao Ruiâs voice suddenly interrupted Ming Yuâs thoughts. Ming Yu turned to look at his own stupid but good agent and sighed deeply. Luo Ru was a newcomer and was already capable of being first-tier. Meanwhile, his own agent had been in the fashion industry for four or five years. Not only did he not know how to establish a network of first hand connections, he was actually worse than Luo RuâŚ
Was this the âsillyâ blessing that silly people had?
Zhao Rui, who had the âsilly blessingâ was seriously urging him. âMing Yu, the rehearsals will begin soon. You have walked a show for more than six months, so pay attention to finding the right feeling. The clothing doesnât drag and it is easy to walk, but you have toâŚâ
Shortly after a quick rehearsal, the afternoon fashion show would officially open.
At this time, a handsome and upright man got out of a luxurious European car in front of the huge entrance of the venue. He waited for the other man to get out of the car and they walked together towards the door.
