Chapter 166 Huang Xiaoming's Attack
Upon hearing Huang Xiaoming's name, Wu Yuchen wondered to himself, "What does this idiot want from me?"
Wu Yuchen's impression of Huang Xiaoming was still from two years ago; he seemed like a child who had never traveled far from home. But since Huang Xiaoming was here, he definitely had to meet him.

"Let him in," Wu Yuchen said.

"Director Wu, I'll go back to work now." Seeing this, Cai Yinong left Wu Yuchen's office so as not to disturb his visit.

A moment later, the door was pushed open again, and Huang Xiaoming's face showed his signature smile. However, what caught Wu Yuchen's attention was what he was carrying. It wasn't anything particularly valuable, but he was carrying far too many—several large bags that made it difficult for him to move.

"Hello, Teacher Wu!" Huang Xiaoming bowed to Wu Yuchen as soon as he saw him.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen quickly stood up and went to help him carry it, saying:
"Hey, Xiaoming, what are you doing? Why did you bring so much stuff?"

Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's alright, Teacher Wu, I can carry it. These are all specialties from my hometown, Qingdao. I brought some over especially for you to try at the start of the semester."

"Thank you! Okay, don't mention it anymore, just put it on the ground," Wu Yuchen said.

After Huang Xiaoming put down the bag he was holding, he introduced each item to Wu Yuchen:

"Teacher Wu, these are dried seafood products from our island city, including sea cucumber, squid strips, anchovy and shrimp chips, and dried shrimp. Adding a little bit of this dried shrimp when you make soup will greatly enhance the flavor, much better than chicken essence or MSG!"

This is Baihua Shecao Water, which is unique to Laoshan. We all call it "divine water." It clears heat and detoxifies, fights viruses, and enhances the body's immune function. It is especially suitable for older people to drink. I just didn't dare to bring too much because I was afraid the taste wouldn't suit my palate.

And this is Laoshan tea. I heard you like to drink tea…”

As Wu Yuchen watched Huang Xiaoming introduce things to him one by one, although he still had a bit of a silly streak, he could feel his enthusiasm and sincerity.

Wu Yuchen didn't interrupt him. After he finished introducing everything, he smiled and patted Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder:

"Xiaoming, thank you. I really like all the things you brought. I'll open them and try them when we get back. Don't stand, come and sit down!"

After Wu Yuchen brought Huang Xiaoming a glass of water, he sat down opposite him and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Ming, tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

"Teacher Wu, I..."

Huang Xiaoming scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed; this was the first time he'd ever asked for a favor by giving a gift. But since he was already there, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Teacher Wu, I just want to ask you to give me a chance, even if it's just to be an extra!"

Looking at Huang Xiaoming's appearance, Wu Yuchen wondered if the child had suffered some kind of trauma.

Wu Yuchen didn't reply immediately. He looked Huang Xiaoming up and down a few times, then asked:
"Xiaoming, tell your teacher the truth, what's your motivation for wanting to act in my play?"

Huang Xiaoming immediately said, "Teacher, I just want to improve myself..."

Wu Yuchen interrupted him directly: "Improve yourself? Improve what? Your acting skills? Your fame? Your status?"

Huang Xiaoming was taken aback by Wu Yuchen's blunt question and didn't know what to say, becoming speechless.

After all, in today's Chinese society, there are some things that are tacitly understood. People may seek fame and fortune, but they generally won't say it out loud. It's rare to see someone like Wu Yuchen who speaks so frankly on the spot.

However, Wu Yuchen is now in complete control of the situation. Facing Huang Xiaoming, who is nothing at the moment, he doesn't care and will say whatever he wants.

Seeing that Huang Xiaoming couldn't answer, he didn't blame him, but instead said:

"Xiaoming, since you've come to me and called me teacher, I won't beat around the bush with you."

Although you're still in university, you've already been exposed to some aspects of the entertainment industry. Pursuing fame and fortune in this circle isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as you don't do anything illegal and uphold your principles. Fame and fortune can sometimes be catalysts and motivations. Don't see it as shameful; in fact, very few people dislike fame and fortune. So, figure out what you really want first, otherwise, if you want my help, I won't even know how.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming immediately lowered his head in shame.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Wu, I didn't mean to hide it from you!"

Then Huang Xiaoming said with a wronged expression:

"Teacher Wu, I... I just don't want to fall behind. When I first entered the school, I was particularly attracted to Zhao Wei, the girl with the big eyes in our class. Even though she used to dislike me, she still wanted to play with me. But now, when I go to her, she doesn't want to talk to me; she's always busy. But when Chen Kun goes to her, she has endless things to say..."

Chen Kun acted in "My Brothers and Sisters" and "Love Will Carry On," and was the first in our class to become famous. Zhao Wei is now Little Swallow and a big star. I just don't want to be unable to talk to them in the future..."

After hearing this, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but show a satisfied expression, as if he had gotten some juicy gossip. This could be considered Huang Xiaoming's heartfelt words.

Actually, the relationship between these three isn't a secret. Anyone who knew a little about it in their past lives knows that Zhao Wei loved to cling to Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming loved to cling to Zhao Wei, but Zhao Wei thought Huang Xiaoming was too childish and didn't like to talk to him. However, seeing Huang Xiaoming say it to her with a pitiful expression in front of her, the feeling is still different.

When Wu Yuchen thought about the time he first entered the school and saw Chen Kun with dyed blonde hair, he couldn't help but wonder if this was an untold story between a simp, a goddess, and a blond-haired guy.
Wu Yuchen smiled and put aside his chaotic thoughts. Was Xiaoming starting to wake up as he watched the gap between himself and the goddess widen?
However, Wu Yuchen heard that even though he didn't feel jealousy or hatred towards Chen Kun, the "yellow-haired" guy who had taken over the goddess, he just felt a strong sense of envy. In essence, he was still a good kid.

Since Huang Xiaoming had opened his heart to him, Wu Yuchen didn't mind giving him a hand.

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment, then asked Huang Xiaoming to stand up, "Xiaoming, have you seen 'The Classic'?"

Huang Xiaoming immediately nodded: "Teacher Wu, I've read every single one of your works! I've read them several times!"

"Perform the scene where the male and female leads meet at the end and Huang Xiaoming's blindness is exposed," Wu Yuchen said with a smile, intending to see what level Huang Xiaoming's acting skills had reached.

Huang Xiaoming paused for a moment to prepare before beginning his performance. But the result was so bad that Wu Yuchen frowned; it was an eyesore, too exaggerated…

I don't expect Wu Yuchen to be comparable to the final product, but it's obvious to the naked eye that his acting is far inferior to Liu Ye's.

After Huang Xiaoming finished his performance and saw Wu Yuchen's expression, he knew that his performance had not satisfied Wu Yuchen. He quickly put his hands together and pleaded, "Teacher Wu, please give me another chance!"

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment and then said, "Then how about 'Love Will Carry On'? You can choose a scene that you remember to act in."

Huang Xiaoming understood that this was equivalent to directly comparing himself to Chen Kun. He had watched the TV series more than once, after all, Chen Kun was the classmate and roommate he admired! He had fantasized more than once about how good Zhao Wei would be to him if she treated him the same way she treated Chen Kun. If he starred in "Love Will Carry On to the End", would Zhao Wei revolve around him?
After thinking it over carefully, Huang Xiaoming chose the scene where the male lead Yang Zheng runs to the seaside and calls Wen Hui to let her hear the sea. This is the scene that impressed him the most in the whole drama, and he has cried more than once while watching it!

Huang Xiaoming pulled out his phone from his pocket and said in a serious tone:

"Wenhui, are you there? Wenhui, can you come out? Are you outside right now? Okay, look up at the sky!"

Immediately, Huang Xiaoming ran around Wu Yuchen's office several times as if no one else was there. Then, he suddenly stopped in front of Wu Yuchen's desk, holding up his phone. He tossed his head and shouted at Wu Yuchen with a somewhat ferocious expression, "Wenhui, listen, the sound of the sea!"

After shouting, Huang Xiaoming made what he thought was a very affectionate and melancholy expression, then slowly, slowly lowered his head, holding the phone up to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen cursed inwardly, almost spitting out the tea in his mouth!

Chen Kun, with his naturally melancholic air, captivated countless men and women watching TV after performing that pose while running on the beach. But when Huang Xiaoming did it, it looked so childish, so exaggerated, so… ridiculous! Wu Yuchen sighed inwardly as he watched Huang Xiaoming's performance; this guy still hasn't figured it out!

It seems that Huang Xiaoming only started acting after graduating, when he starred in "The Emperor of Han Dynasty".

After Huang Xiaoming finished his performance, he looked expectantly at his teacher, Wu Yuchen. Wu Yuchen coughed and said, "Xiaoming, your acting is still a bit exaggerated. You need to work on it."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming looked dejected, realizing he had probably messed up again. He then lowered his head and said to Wu Yuchen, "Teacher Wu, do you think I'm not suited to be an actor?"

"That's not it. It's just that people have different levels of understanding. And to be honest, you have too little life experience. You've been too well protected by your family since you were little. Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Kun is only a year older than you; there's at least a 10-year difference in your life experiences. More life experience is needed to better help actors understand emotions, understand?"

Wu Yuchen didn't hold back either. Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are really a bit exaggerated now. He always tries too hard. His only advantage is his appearance. If you want to get a role with him, you can only get a minor one. But you can't find too handsome actors for minor roles, so he has no chance at all.

Even if he weren't acting in any of the productions the company was producing, such as "The Legendary Twins" and "The Grand Mansion Gate," Wu Yuchen would be embarrassed to recommend Huang Xiaoming given his acting skills.

Huang Xiaoming nodded upon hearing this, but his mood remained low. He was ten years behind Chen Kun. Did he have to wait another ten years to catch up with Chen Kun? What would Chen Kun be like in ten years? And what would Zhao Wei be like?

Thinking of this, the light in Huang Xiaoming's eyes gradually dimmed.

"Thank you, Teacher Wu. I understand. I will work hard in the future..." After Huang Xiaoming finished speaking, he bowed to Wu Yuchen again, then turned around and wanted to leave, unable to control the sadness that appeared on his face.

After all, these were words from Wu Yuchen, who is currently enjoying great prestige. Knowing how far behind he is than others has dealt a severe blow to his confidence. Perhaps he really isn't suited to be an actor; the gap between him and Zhao Wei and Chen Kun is too large, and it may only widen further in the future…

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoming felt an urge to cry, but he tried to suppress it. Zhao Wei didn't like him being so childish.

Just as Huang Xiaoming was about to step out of the office, lost in thought, he heard Wu Yuchen's voice behind him again: "Wait a minute."

Huang Xiaoming turned his head and saw Wu Yuchen rubbing his chin as he looked at him:

"Xiaoming, to be honest, what you're pursuing right now isn't becoming a good actor, but simply becoming famous. To put it bluntly, you just want to be friends with Zhao Wei and Chen Kun after you become famous, right?"

Huang Xiaoming opened his mouth. Although Teacher Cui always taught him to aim to become a good actor, Teacher Wu's words revealed his true thoughts: "Yes."

Wu Yuchen nodded. That's how young people are; they put love and friendship first, and sometimes they don't even understand what their dreams are.

However, Wu Yuchen didn't care what Huang Xiaoming's motives were. As long as he was determined, it wasn't impossible for him to have a chance.

Then he asked, "You're telling me you really want to be famous right now? You're willing to do anything?"

Upon hearing this, the light in Huang Xiaoming's eyes rekindled, and he immediately became excited, quickly walking back to Wu Yuchen:
"Teacher Wu, I know I'm not smart. My teachers at school always say I'm a blockhead, but I'm not afraid of hardship. I'll do anything you ask me to do!"

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own talents, and being flamboyant has its advantages. I do have such an opportunity here, which can make you a sensation, no less than Zhao Wei and Chen Kun are now. However, if you agree to it, you will have to sign a contract of more than 5 years."

Wu Yuchen then immediately added, "And if you become famous in the future, don't say that this has anything to do with me. Are you willing to do that?"

While Huang Xiaoming was overjoyed, he was also a little confused. Wu Yuchen's rise to fame was clearly a good thing, so why couldn't he say it was related to him?
But Huang Xiaoming knew this was his chance to change his fate, and immediately nodded, saying, "I'm willing! Teacher Wu, I'm willing to do whatever you say!"

As long as he can narrow the gap with Zhao Wei and Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming is willing to...
Looking at Huang Xiaoming's determined expression, Wu Yuchen thought to himself, "This is the path you chose yourself. Anyway, I'm not trying to screw you over."

Afterwards, Wu Yuchen called Cai Yinong over and asked her, "President Cai, what do you think of the plan that the Hong Kong Island company wanted to carry out, which I mentioned to you before?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong understood, then looked Huang Xiaoming up and down and nodded, saying, "He's really good-looking; his physical attributes are definitely good enough."

Then she asked Wu Yuchen, "Director Wu, so what about the conditions...?"

"The conditions will be as you set them. There's no need for discrimination. It's fair for everyone to be treated the same, so we can avoid backstabbing and infighting." Wu Yuchen waved his hand.

Cai Yinong also understood, and then said to Huang Xiaoming:

"Xiaoming, our company—no, I should say our Hong Kong company—is planning to create a group. According to Director Wu, they're sure to be a hit and become top Asian stars. If you're willing, the Hong Kong company will sign an artist contract with you, and then the company will train you, bringing in professional teachers from Europe, America, Japan, and Hong Kong. You'll train for six months before debuting."

"We? Who else is there besides me? And what kind of training is this?" Huang Xiaoming asked curiously.

Cai Yinong smiled and said, "The company plans to select members from the mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to form a four-member boy group. If you sign the contract, you will be one of them."

Then Cai Yinong continued her introduction:

"As for the six-month training, it includes singing, dancing, language, physical training, and of course acting. However, since you are a film academy student, your acting skills must be quite solid, so you can focus more on other aspects. As for profit sharing, the company will split it 70/30 with you in the first year, and then your share will gradually increase each year thereafter. That's roughly the plan. So, are you interested?"

After listening, Huang Xiaoming hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't believe Wu Yuchen, but he was troubled by one point: "Teacher Wu, this sounds a bit like the Little Tigers? Does that mean I'm still an actor?"

Huang Xiaoming's current goal is still to catch up with Zhao Wei and Chen Kun as an actor. If he debuts as a singer, it just doesn't feel right. And will his homeroom teacher, Teacher Cui, beat him up?
Wu Yuchen smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, your debut work will be a TV series, which will guarantee that you will become famous all over Asia, even more famous than Chen Kun."

Hearing Wu Yuchen's words, Huang Xiaoming had no more questions. He had no objection to Cai Yinong's introduction. He only believed one thing: his teacher Wu would not cheat him!

"Teacher Wu, I'm willing! I'll sign right now!"

"Um, Xiaoming, even though you're an adult, you should still call your family and discuss it," Wu Yuchen advised.

Huang Xiaoming clenched his fists, stiffened his neck, and loudly refused:

"No, Teacher Wu, you all say I'm too naive because my family has protected me. This time, I want to decide my own destiny!"

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. The more you act like this, the more immature and unstable you seem!
Cai Yinong had a general idea of ​​Huang Xiaoming's personality, and went over and said with a smile, "Xiaoming, we have to make this clear to your family, otherwise they will think we have kidnapped you. And when everyone is here, you will have to apply for a leave of absence to go to Hong Kong Island. Your parents need to know."

Huang Xiaoming pouted, feeling that he was still being treated like a child, but he wanted to prove that he wasn't a child anymore.

Wu Yuchen smiled at Huang Xiaoming and said, "Xiaoming, if you want to make your own decisions in the future, the first step should be to persuade your family."

Wu Yuchen knew that Huang Xiaoming was the apple of their eye. His parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents all doted on him. When he first came to Beijing to study, his family already disagreed. If he were to drop out of school and go to Hong Kong, it would probably cause an uproar.

"Teacher Wu, I'll do whatever you say!" After saying that, Huang Xiaoming obediently followed Cai Yinong out of the room, intending to contact his family.

Wu Yuchen added, "Remember not to tell anyone about me!"

The reason Wu Yuchen repeatedly emphasized that he didn't want his name to be associated with the group was because the group he got Huang Xiaoming to join was called F4!
Damn it, I lost my files and tried several recovery programs without success. In the end, I spent two hours fiddling around and bought a membership that cost several hundred yuan to recover them.
