At one meter eighty-five, you're quite handsome; if you really got up close to that male idol, wouldn't you make him look like a dwarf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Huang Jingyu still corrected Bai Liang's statement: \"I'm one meter eighty-seven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang, at one meter eighty-four point five, had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Huang Jingyu looked at the male idol surrounded by dozens of people, his eyes revealing a hint of yearning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That man can be replaced~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang voiced the thought for him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Huang Jingyu's old face turn red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a guy in his early twenties, having his inner thoughts poked at like that was truly embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's first job was clearly a \"Waterloo\"; if Bai Liang hadn't picked up two hundred yuan at the entrance of the restroom right after, their morning part-time wages wouldn't even have covered a single day's food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During lunch, Huang Jingyu was still full of energy; after all, the \"big job\" was in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight hundred yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this kind of work had a threshold; you had to send your photos and resume in advance for them to review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like a \"looks-based\" screening at a bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, both he and Bai Liang were good enough in that regard, so they were successfully selected for the high-paying half-day job of eight hundred yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his excitement, Huang Jingyu even fantasized about the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about how if he became a star, he would definitely do this and that in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content was roughly similar to an ordinary person imagining how they would spend ten million if they won the lottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I know, that counts as a personal specialty in the entertainment industry, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bai Liang thought about it seriously, \"Doesn't feel very useful. Filming action scenes definitely won't look as good as those martial arts routines; your stuff is too practical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, this~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is being practical a mistake too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Liang's \"blows\" weren't over, \"Speaking of practical, times have changed. If you win a fight, you go to jail; if you lose, you end up in the hospital. I can only think of one use for your specialty right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beating your wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullshitting and joking around is always fun. Although Bai Liang's words were a \"little bit\" unpleasant, considering he was treating him to lunch, Huang Jingyu's mood remained quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was a bit too happy today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evening work couldn't be as casual as pretending to be a fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before setting off, the two of them dressed up a bit. Bai Liang wore his white shirt crisp and straight, topped with a brown plaid casual blazer, casual trousers on the bottom, and his leather shoes were shiny and brand new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking in the mirror, the young man with short hair had a tall, straight figure, refined features with sharp, angular lines, showing an outstanding bone structure, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were slender but not small, with slightly upturned corners adding a sense of ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his looks, if he didn't smile and kept a straight face, he looked quite cold and had a sharp edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Bai Liang liked to wear a smile, which instead gave him an absurdly approachable quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People without hostility or the pressures of life are like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place where the evening work was concentrated was quite legitimate; it was the place where Bai Liang and the others, as print models, often took photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The model agent who issued the task was named Old Zhou, a familiar face in this circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang had some impression of him, and Huang Jingyu was even more enthusiastic, going over to greet him because Old Zhou was the model agent who paid the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A so-called model agent is actually similar to those group leaders in Hengdian; the nature of the work is similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Bai Liang and Huang Jingyu, there were a total of eight people for tonight's job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole row of handsome men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang took a quick look at his \"colleagues\" and suddenly discovered a \"blind spot\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted Huang Jingyu on the shoulder, \"You're actually the tallest one here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Huang Jingyu was stunned for a moment, scanned the group, and realized it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the male modeling industry, there are some requirements for height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for those doing runway shows, it's often required to be over one meter eighty-six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For print models, height requirements can be lowered depending on looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this industry is generally full of tall people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, when taking on modeling jobs, it's hard for Huang Jingyu's height to stand out too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, however, there was a bit of a feeling of standing out from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even some who had just barely reached one meter eighty mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, just from the perspective of looks, the eight people on this job today could all be called handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it really a looks-based screening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Huang Jingyu looked around and confidently said to Bai Liang, \"We two are still the most handsome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang corrected him with a serious face, \"I am the most handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! Isn't a tough guy like me more handsome than you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we took the subway here, only two girls asked for your WeChat, but six girls asked for mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Liang brought out the \"big data\" to give his conclusion, Huang Jingyu was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the volume of their discussion was truly a tiny bit too loud, almost offending the other six brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the shortest one, who glared at them with quite a bit of resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Bai Liang smiled at him in a very friendly way, looking completely harmless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It actually put that guy in a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been better if he'd just said \"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all young people with thin skin; it's easy to have conflicts because of a single sentence, but even easier to be at a loss because of a smile full of goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang: If you provoke me, you've provoked cotton~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cars are here, let's go, get in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, two business vans drove up, and the model agent Old Zhou signaled for everyone to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang and Huang Jingyu got into the car where Old Zhou was sitting in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting in, Huang Jingyu couldn't hold back, \"What's the job today, Brother Zhou? Where are we going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Zhou, wearing a floral shirt with sunglasses perched on his forehead, looked mysterious, \"Good thing, good job, perform well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, good, good, which meant he hadn't said anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the car didn't drive too far, just about ten minutes, and brought the eight male models to... Brilliant Commercial KTV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, Huang Jingyu was damn near stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did he bring us?\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-17T09:49:34.483Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","54eb6f7da9693185c6ae3d97494a0787779844d11eef43cb2ba4727675b52a11","chinese-entertainment-starting-as-a-male-model-chapter-3","chinese-entertainment-starting-as-a-male-model-chapter-1",668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshowbiz-starting-as-a-male-model-cover.jpg"]
