Top Dupe CH 033 Huo Haoyan Part 1
After Ye Shengyi came in, he immediately opened the suitcase. In addition to the makeup case, there were several sets of men's clothes inside.
"Your preparation… is quite comprehensive..."
Luo Yu originally thought that Ye Shengyi would bring a suit, but he didn't expect that there would be no suits at all. They were all business casual attire that looked mature but still elegant.
Ye Shengyi touched his chin, examined Luo Yu's aura, and chose a set for him, "Brother, I think this is the most suitable for you. How about you try it?"
Luo Yu looked at it and was a little surprised. This was exactly the style he wanted. It was similar to Gu Xiaowei's usual everyday clothes, but also a little brighter than Gu Xiaowei's style.
The half-high-necked sweater just reached Luo Yu’s Adam’s apple, giving him a sense of mystery as if he was holding a pipa and half-covering the face. The lines of the windbreaker also made Luo Yu's figure appear more slender. When he put on the dark suit pants and a belt, it really highlighted his slender waist and long legs.
Luo Yu hadn't dressed like this for a long time. After taking two steps, he turned around and met Ye Shengyi's excited eyes.
"Brother, you are so handsome. After putting on makeup later, can I take a photo and send it to my teacher for rating?"
"Go ahead."
The child also had to hand in homework.
He immediately picked up his mobile phone and walked around Luo Yu, sometimes approaching, sometimes retreating, sometimes standing on a chair, sometimes squatting down.
It had been a long time since anyone had taken photos of Luo Yu so seriously. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Shengyi's purple hair swaying like a field full of lavender.
Ye Shengyi paused, moved his phone away and looked at him, "Brother, you can't smile so casually in the future."
"What's wrong?"
"Your smile is a soul-destroying poison."
Luo Yu laughed even harder, "You blew that rainbow fart very deliberately!"
Ye Shengyi began to do the makeup, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Luo Yu suspected that his face was not a face, but a master painter's canvas.
"Your skin tone is even and bright. The foundation doesn't need to be too thick as it will appear greasy." Ye Shengyi observed Luo Yu's skin texture carefully.
"En."
"The outline of your eyes is also very beautiful. Since you are auditioning to be an executive of a large company, I will deepen your eye sockets to make you look mature and commanding."
"Thanks."
"Your jawline is very cleancut, so it has a clear outline. I'll give you a darker shade to highlight the advantages of your jawline."
"Okay."
Looking at Ye Shengyi's serious expression, Luo Yu's mood improved from the slightly downcast mood over not having the right clothes for the audition.
"Brother, you are so handsome. I want to bite you to death." Ye Shengyi brought the mirror to Luo Yu and made an expression like a little tiger opening his mouth and roaring.
Luo Yu couldn't hold back and patted his purple hair, "You are also very cute."
Ye Shengyi, who had the aura of a master just now, showed an embarrassed expression.
The doorbell rang again, and Ye Shengyi said loudly: "I'll open the door!"
It was Sister Cui who came. The first time she saw Ye Shengyi, she thought she was on the wrong floor and almost turned around and left.
"Sister Cui, you're not mistaken, come in!"
Hearing Luo Yu's voice, Sister Cui entered the door. She was stunned when she saw Luo Yu at first.
Luo Yu's everyday clothing had always been random and casual, with little accessories, making it difficult to associate with those in the gold-collar class.
But at this moment, he had a mature aura that was calm and elegant, like a successful person who had experienced strong winds and waves and could now sit calmly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and drink a cup of coffee.
Most importantly was that Luo Yu's current appearance was completely different from when he was in the "Counterattack" crew and the life photos posted on Weibo.
"Sister Cui, what's wrong?" Luo Yu asked with a smile.
Sister Cui came over and patted Luo Yu's collar with both hands, "I have always dreamed of dating a guy like... this image."
As soon as she finished speaking, not only Luo Yu laughed, but also Ye Shengyi next to them laughed.
Knowing that this look was the work of Ye Shengyi, Sister Cui was so happy that she began chattering with him.
"So you are Brother Yan's apprentice! Sure enough, famous teachers produce great students, and your aesthetics are first-rate!"
"Have you also heard of my teacher?"
"Of course, Brother Yan is Teacher Gu's personal makeup artist. His makeup style is natural, and especially good at capturing the advantages of male artists. For example, Teacher Gu's calm and unhurried alpha aura, no one in the industry can copy it. However, you are also very good!”
While Sister Cui was praising the other, she felt regretful at the same time.
They didn't have much funds. Even if she wanted to form a team for Luo Yu, they couldn't afford Ye Shengyi.
"Little Yezi, Sister Cui won't let you work in vain, I'll give you a red envelope!"
Ye Shengyi quickly waved his hand: "No, no! I'm just here for an internship! My teacher said that Brother Luo has a good foundation. If even with that I can't pull it off, I can forget about finding work in the circle anymore."
"Then this outfit..." Sister Cui thought to herself, even if the child come to study and help, they couldn't let him pay for it out of their his pockets.
Ye Shengyi leaned into Sister Cui's ear and whispered: "I didn't spend any money on the clothes. Sister Cui, don't be polite."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal! Whatever you want to eat, Sister Cui will treat you."
The time was almost up. Sister Cui snapped her fingers and took Luo Yu and Ye Shengyi to the audition.
The audition location was still a hotel conference room. Whether in the parking lot or the hotel lobby, there were many people coming and going.
When he entered the elevator, Luo Yu recognized that the artists standing next to him were from Dijun Media. They appeared showy and bright, and were competing with each other even before the audition started.
Compared with them, Luo Yu was more low-key, but his outstanding aura quickly attracted the attention of the agent Hao Xiang who followed the two artists.
Hao Xiang was deeply trusted by the top management of Dijun Media. He had managed some popular artists before. Later, due to the company's strategic adjustment, he was sent to manage newcomers specifically in order to bring fresh blood to Dijun Media and cultivate more “faces".
It was a pity that Hao Xiang was not very satisfied with the current newcomers in his heart, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only choose the taller ones from the shorter ones.
At first, Hao Xiang thought Luo Yu was a businessman staying in this hotel, and wondered in his heart which company's CEO was so good-looking. Then he realized that Luo Yu's looks were too attractive, and looking at Sister Cui and Ye Shengyi pushing the makeup suitcase next to him, he suddenly realized that this person was also an actor.
"Excuse me, which company do you belong to?" Hao Xiang asked.
"Zhuque Media." Luo Yu smiled lightly at the other.
“Zhuque… Zhuque Media?" Hao Xiang adjusted his glasses, wondering if Bo Wenyuan had burned some incense? There was an actor with such a good image and aura in his company!
However, he looked a bit familiar, but for a while Hao Xiang couldn't recall who the other was.
Moreover, this actor only said two words "Zhuque Media", but his enunciation was clear, gentle and steady, which showed that his line skills were not weak.
"So are you here for the audition? Or has your role already been decided on?" Hao Xiang asked again.
"I'm here to audition for the role of Huo Haoyan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two actors in the elevator looked over immediately. Only when the elevator dinged and opened, did they come back to themselves.
Luo Yu nodded slightly, took one step forward and walked out.
Hao Xiang adjusted his glasses again and looked at his disappearing back. Luo Yu's back was straight when he walked, the back of his windbreaker swayed slightly with his steps, and his arms swung naturally on the side, giving people a sense of calmness and trustworthiness.
This was the real aura of a bigwig.
He then looked back at his own artists. One wore gold-rimmed glasses, and one specially chose a business suit. They both brushed their hair back to expose their foreheads, deliberately cultivating an air of maturity.
But after seeing the actor from Zhuque Media just now, and then looking at his own artists, it really felt like children pretending to be adults.
"The one just now… is Luo Yu, right?" One of the artists said.
"Luo Yu? It's impossible..." Hao Xiang was stunned.
Hao Xiang could admit that Luo Yu was good-looking. When Ou Juntao wanted to sign Luo Yu, Hao Xiang also specially asked to manage Luo Yu.
But in the first half of this year, he met Luo Yu at a jewelry exhibition. His spirit was completely gone. He practically dodged when he encountered reporters. He was completely different from the man who just stepped out of the elevator.
Hao Xiang took a deep breath and frowned, "It's truly... such a big transformation."
Beautiful faces could be found everywhere in this circle, but one's aura was difficult to cultivate.
Luo Yu and his party arrived outside the audition room. The real audition was in a smaller conference room, and in this larger conference room on the same floor, there were people waiting for the audition.
When Luo Yu came in, many people noticed him and whispered to each other.
"Who is that person who just came in?"
"The appearance and aura are outstanding!"
"I really want to know which role he is auditioning for..."
On the contrary, people from Honghe Film and Television not far away recognized him because they had seen Xie Shang's photos of Luo Yu in WeChat.
Xie Shang was very popular in the company. Towards someone who she would share photos of on her WeChat, the agent of Honghe Film and Television valued very much, and even specially led over the two newcomers who came to audition to say hello.
"Hello, Teacher Luo. I am Chen He, an agent of Honghe Film and Television. I have seen you on our company’s Xie Shang's Weibo and WeChat in our company before. You are so handsome. I thought it was just Xie Shang's beauty filter on max. I didn’t expect to see you here in person, and you are just as handsome as the pictures.”
As soon as Luo Yu heard Xie Shang's name, he knew that the young lady must have said a lot of good things about him to the people in her company, and immediately stood up and shook hands with him.
Because the agent of Honghe Film and Television was standing, Luo Yu first raised his eyes to look at him.
Just a simple glance, but there was a feeling that the years had washed away the dust and the jade had been smoothed.
"Nice to meet you, what Teacher Luo? You can just call me Luo Yu." Luo Yu turned sideways, "This is my agent Cui Zhuxin, and my stylist and makeup artist Ye Shengyi. "
Neither Cui Zhuxin nor Ye Shengyi thought that Luo Yu would go out of his way to introduce them in front of people from Honghe Film and Television, so they both stood up quickly.
The two parties chatted a bit and got along happily.
"I heard Teacher Xie mention you before, saying that your looks and acting skills are both outstanding, but I thought it was an exaggeration. Seeing you in person, I guess this time I can only comfort the newcomers in the company that 'participation is the most important.'" Chen He said with a smile.
"You are too kind. Who doesn't know that Honghe Film and Television has developed rapidly in recent years because of its excellent vision towards newcomers."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries and business cards, and soon the people from Honghe Film and Television were called to audition.
The discussions in the conference room became more obvious.
"Is that Luo Yu? With those looks of his yet he is called He Mu's dupe? But if I were a film and television company, I would choose Luo Yu!"
"Some time ago, he was on the set of "Counterattack" and had been on the hot search."
"There was an uproar on the Internet before, saying that Lin Yue and Hua Xingyun had added scenes for him!"
"Without some skills, how could those two great bigwigs treat him so differently?"
"I just heard him talking to the agent of Honghe Film and Television. He might be signing a contract to go to Honghe soon!"
"Which role is he here to audition for?"
"Huo Haoyan! That's the villain CFO!"
"Oh, oh, I'm relieved! If I compete with him for the same role, there will definitely be no chance!"
The three audition judges in the small conference room were already very tired.
The producer pressed his eyes, "Why is it so difficult to find an actor suitable for Huo Haoyan? Why is every one of them acting like a domineering CEO? Huo Haoyan is so low-key that he does not even own a sports car… Did these people look carefully at the character background info given to them?"
The assistant director also sighed: "Ai, I don't know what Dijun Media is doing these years. Have you seen those people from Dijun? They look like they are here to make ppt business presentations, or like they are here for interviews. And… there was even one who acted so cool and domineering, I thought he was here to interview me instead of the other way around."
The producer was amused, "Dijun Media is now deeply focused on variety shows and traffic. Their artists' singing and dancing skills are beyond words. But acting... not just anyone can do it. Though, the two from Honghe Film and Television seem alright.”
The assistant director also said: "Yes, if there is no better one in the future, we can only choose from the two of them."
The producer leaned towards the center, "Director Xu, what do you think?"
