After Hyping Myself Up With Narcissistic Marketing

Jiang Huai, with his handsome face, 1.84m height, excellent physique, top-tier professional skills, and genius fan-charming abilities, was a pitiful no-name.

The reason was simple.

Whil...

Chapter 24: Wait for the penalty to be paid.

Chapter 24 Wait for the penalty for breach of contract.

Why did he apologize, withdraw from the competition, and return the money three times in a row? What happened?

Jiang Huai clicked on this fan's homepage and scrolled up. Three full pages were filled with frustrated comments. His colleagues in the comment section were also screaming and cursing Lu Hongmiao. He scrolled through more than a dozen comments before he found the source of the incident.

It turned out to be a private affair between a wealthy woman that everyone, except the fans, loved to hear about.

@Lu Hongmiao, who are you worthy of?

#Lu Hongmiao is in love# #Lu Hongmiao withdraws from the competition#

Do you have the ability to catch both the love and the fans? @卢鸿邈

Let me share the story of the three years that Lu Hongmiao and I have known each other.

I met Lu Hongmiao in a bar three years ago. He was still in Trailblazers at the time. We were just a fleeting romance. I knew he was an idol and I should keep my distance. We didn’t communicate much for more than two years.

Half a year ago, Lu Hongmiao’s contract with his former company expired and the group disbanded. He took the initiative to contact me and said he wanted to date me.

I didn't agree at first, but he kept pestering me and came to my company building to give me flowers and gifts, and he persisted for a whole week.

I was really touched, so I agreed to his proposal, and we started dating officially in February this year.

After two months of dating, Lu Hongmiao told me that he still wanted to be an idol.

I said that you are being unfair to your fans, so let’s break up and don’t contact me again.

He said it’s okay, fans are easy to fool, just don’t be too ostentatious, we can just talk in secret.

When the contestants of Produce Producer entered the camp, Lu Hongmiao hid his phone but still sent me messages every day. Half of the chats were about criticizing people. After criticizing the contestants, he criticized the mentors. After criticizing the mentors, he criticized the staff. There were few people in the whole show that he had not criticized.

It wasn't until after the Soryeon fan meeting that he suddenly became cold.

I had a hunch that something was wrong, so I spent several days looking through almost all of Lu Hongmiao's fan meeting repos and discovered that one of the fans had been posting chat records with his ambiguous partner in recent days.

What a coincidence, the profile picture of the person opposite me is the same as Lu Hongmiao, who has been treating me coldly recently.

How many minutes can each person chat at an offline meetup? You are really amazing to be able to have a private chat in this short time. You are really brave to have a private chat without using a fake account and not letting others hide a little.

The day before yesterday, before the first performance, I called him and asked him, "What? How could that be? Are you overthinking it?" It's absolutely not happening.

Later, when I showed him the evidence, he immediately changed his attitude and asked me what else I wanted. I said I would pay him back, but he accused me of extortion and threatened to call the police, saying that it would not be good for me if I made a big fuss.

I think you should get some training in Sichuan Opera face-changing. At this time, face-changing is much more flexible than your expression management on stage.

That's great, you don't have to pay back the money, just wait to pay the company and the program crew the penalty for breach of contract.

I guess you can forget about staying in the entertainment industry after this post. I'm curious about how much money you can make in the future with only a junior high school diploma.

p1-3 are some transfer records during the relationship between the two, p4-6 are photos of Lu Hongmiao taken by me, which should be enough to prove that it is him, and p7-9 are a collection of the "neighborhood brother"'s mouths, shared with you for fun.

After reading the text, Jiang Huai was already quite shocked. Clicking on the accompanying pictures, the first picture made his eyes dilate.

[Host, you were so poor when you were a trainee in your previous life, you should have found a rich woman.] 819 sighed.

Jiang Huai asked back: [Haven’t you heard that people don’t bully the poor young people? And even though I was poor at that time, I was still a principled person. As the saying goes, there are many gossips in the entertainment industry…]

[Uh… Since you are so good at calling back, it would be nice to be a talk show host. There are many career options in the future. At least you don’t have to worry about being homeless and sleeping under bridges.]

[Thank you. I think we can do crosstalk together. It's a pity that you are not human. It seems to be quite fashionable to do crosstalk with a partner.]

The original blogger's logic was clear and the chain of evidence was complete. It was a textbook revelation that left no room for Lu Hongmiao to refute.

After watching it, Jiang Huai only had three thoughts in his mind:

First, is this called dating? Isn't this also called keeping someone as a mistress?

Second, Ye Huaming, who was scolded yesterday, is lucky. This time he won without a fight. Sheng Mingzhi is also lucky. This time he should be able to enter the top three.

Third, fortunately, he only sells homosexuality to himself. If he had just found someone he didn't know the details of, and encountered this situation, although he could get some help, he would have been really disappointed.

Jiang Huai scrolled down to the comment section, and sure enough, the first comment was exactly what he had guessed.

@4747:

Seeking support. (165572 likes)

@Lian Miao Diary:

You two are both disgusting. When you were in a relationship, you helped him deceive his fans. Now that you've broken up, you turn around and drag the fans to scold you. May I ask if the fans have done anything wrong? (93162 likes)

The comment section was very lively, with fans of Lu Hongmiao himself, unscrupulous passers-by who clicked in to see, and fans of other companies who took the responsibility of promoting Lu Nancai all gathered together. The number of comments and total likes continued to increase.

No wonder Lu Hongmiao’s data was so good this time, it turned out to be the last flash in the pan before the collapse.

Jiang Huai was relieved.

It was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, and he switched back to his original form from Chu Yuanqing's alias.

Naturally, some of the ninety-nine trainees hid their phones and were not caught. The news spread like wildfire, and it seemed that Lu Hongmiao himself was called away by the program crew half an hour ago.

While the main character was away, many people in the dormitory corridor had already started discussing gossip.

You didn’t let him go either.

Not long after, Zhou Chengwen, who was very popular, returned to the dormitory with some fresh gossip. As soon as he entered the room, he excitedly shouted twice: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang! Shocking gossip! I ate so much gossip!"

The other two people from the same company were not there, so Jiang Huai was forced to play the role of the supporting actor and pretended that he had not seen the revelations under Chu Yuanqing's pseudonym: "What gossip? What's wrong?"

Zhou Chengwen first quickly summarized the main content of the revelations, and Jiang Huai nodded while listening and gave sufficient feedback.

"Don't people sit in a row at fan meetings? The person sitting to the right of Lu Hongmiao is Ye Huaming. He watched Lu Hongmiao give the private contact's WeChat ID to the fan."

"After everyone left, Ye Huaming immediately pointed out that what he did was wrong, but he was scolded instead. He was told to mind his own business. How could a nobody be qualified to talk about him, who was in the upper circle."

Zhou Chengwen added: "It is said that the new woman he is dating is also a wealthy woman. She was wearing branded clothes when she came to the fan meeting, and her bag was a Everest. I guess Lu Hongmiao thought that this woman was richer or her fans were more indulgent to him, so he started to use cold violence on this unlucky girl."

He then changed the subject: "They also told me about the quarrel in Group A of "Fighting City". I was shocked. It turns out that there are really gossips going on in our base every day."

Can you get straight to the point? Jiang Huai asked: "So why are you arguing?"

"Their team leader is He Ziang, and the C position chosen by voting is Ye Huaming. The opening and closing parts were given to Lu Hongmiao due to popularity. After a round of review, Lu Hongmiao suddenly said that he still wanted to be the C position and proposed to exchange parts with Ye Huaming. Ye Huaming definitely didn't agree."

"In the practice room, Lu Hongmiao said, OK, then we won't change it. But when he turned around and was in the blind spot of the camera, he changed his mind and said he would not cooperate with the rehearsal if C was not changed. In the end, he had to change it. The more Ye Huaming thought about it, the angrier he got and he scolded him. This part seems to have been edited into the trailer. Fortunately, someone came out to expose the news, otherwise he would be really unlucky."

Jiang Huai was amazed. He had seen shameless people before, but this was the first time he had seen someone so shameless.

He thought about it and realized that Tang Tianyu, who was in Yu Lan's group, was also very shameless. After all, there were 99 trainees participating in the competition. It would be strange if there were not a few such people.

But the program team is really lucky, and all kinds of ready-made popularity come to them one after another.

As for Lu Hongmiao's case, there won't be any follow-up problems as long as he is asked to withdraw from the competition. Maybe he can even earn some money from the penalty for breach of contract.

But this incident has caused such a big stir that when he just watched it, the number of likes in the comments has reached 160,000. It is hard to imagine how many passers-by have seen it, which indirectly brought a wave of traffic to the program.

If I had half the career luck as the one in “Produce Producer” in my previous life, I wouldn’t be so obscure!

July 22, morning, in the studio.

The people who came this time were not PD He Chen, but Xiang Liang and Shi Renran.

The production team did not tell us about today's schedule in advance yesterday. In addition, Lu Hongmiao's scandal happened suddenly yesterday, so I guess the PD has no time to take care of them.

Shi Renran is usually not easy to talk to, and now she is deliberately putting on a stern face. Jiang Huai subconsciously thinks of the painful experience of being scolded during the filming of "Secrets in the Woods".

The bald Xiang Liang standing on the side looked like a stupid goose in comparison.

The special tutor always speaks his mind: "You all know about what happened with Lu Hongmiao yesterday, right?"

Someone below answered with a smile, but immediately fell silent after being glared at.

Shi Renran looked around at the contestants and said, "If there are any others like him, please contact the production team and withdraw from the competition as soon as possible. Don't wait until it's exposed to cry to the production team. Crying is useless. The penalty will not be reduced by a penny. If you withdraw now, you can pay less."

She played the good cop and Xiang Liang played the bad cop: "Okay, don't be so serious. Our recording content for the next few days will be a special episode on girl group dance. Let's start practicing in groups today."

"There will not be a formal offline stage for the special edition. We will only record the practice room and a daily vlog. The essence is to give everyone a chance to relax between the two performances, so there is no need to practice too hard."

Shi Renran opened the screen and said, "There is no need to draw a lottery to select songs this time. Just raise your hand when the song you want to choose is played. The quota will be closed when the quota is full."

"There are twelve songs in total. Think about it and decide whether to choose early or wait for the later ones. If you don't finish the selection in one round, there will be another round, but you can only choose songs with vacancies."

——female, group, dance, special, edition, article.

Those six words struck the trainees standing in the studio like thunder.

When they were in the first public group, the classic girl group song "Confess Loudly" was a well-known death group. Later, the performance was good thanks to the strong abilities of the contestants.

But if they were to perform a proper girl group dance...then the scene would be quite humorous.

But some people seem to understand.

For example, Prince Si next to him.

Si Xi was very eloquent when talking about girl group dances. He was explaining the subject to Jian Yuan: "There are only about a dozen girl group songs that have been popular in the past two years. I can guess the songs. There must be "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" by S Group and "Witches' Coven" by L Group. I think you can choose "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter". It's very similar to the previous style. K Group has a song..."

He paused after talking for a long time and said, "Of course, it's also good if you want to challenge different styles."

Sheng Mingzhi in the front row turned around and asked, "Is there anything suitable for me?"

"Of course there are. As for you... Group Z has a song called "Sister". I remember they filmed it in a suit. It was super cool."

Jiang Huai listened to everything, but was prepared to believe only half of it.

He would definitely not leave only one song to choose from, he had to leave himself some way out.

The first three songs released were all classic summer girl group songs. No one raised their hands at all. They were all waiting for songs that were easier to digest and more neutral.

Shi Renran: "...I'm telling you, don't rely on your luck and think that the next song will definitely be more suitable for you. Sometimes you still have to make a quick decision."

The fourth song was the "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" that Si Xi mentioned earlier. Suddenly, a row of hands were raised, and there were not enough spaces. Those who failed in the rock-paper-scissors PK returned to their original positions dejectedly.

The fifth song is a traditional Chinese style song. Not many people chose it, but Yu Lan won it easily.

The next three songs are of a sweet type, but the remaining songs are getting fewer and fewer. Some people are worried that they won’t be popular later on, but there are a few songs joining in here and there.

The ninth song was "Witches' Coven" by L Group. Jiang Huai resolutely raised his hand and won the game of rock-paper-scissors. Finally, he had a song.

The tenth song was the rock song "Flower of the Abyss" by Group B, and Jian Yuan raised his hand.

The eleventh song was "Deep Sea" by Group F. Si Xi also left the candidate area, but Sheng Mingzhi was still waiting.

The twelfth song is D group’s sexy song “KISS ME”.

Until the end, Sheng Mingzhi still didn't wait for the "sister" who was said to be wearing a suit and was super handsome. His face showed three parts of confusion, five parts of dullness, and eight parts of disbelief.

Jiang Huai stood in the "Witches Coven" team, looking at his unpredictable expression, and pinched his hands very hard to hold back from laughing.

The gambler ended up with nothing. Sheng Mingzhi finally entered the ballet-style "The Nutcracker". He put his hands behind his back, avoided the camera and gave Si Xi the middle finger.

Si Xi remained calm and responded by making a heart shape with his fingers.

Jiang Huai... Jiang Huai held back until the end but finally admitted defeat. He turned around, covered his face and laughed uncontrollably.
