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 44 I teach all the classes! You take all the holidays! How can this be justified?

Sunday, August 18th.

"A random dance challenge has been arranged during this break." He Chen tapped the mouse, and two neat rows of playlists appeared on the screen.

"About half of the set list has been played in previous performances, and the rest are other hits from the past few years."

"Since it is a random dance challenge, it will definitely be limited to the chorus part. We don't force everyone to learn all the songs above. Of course, the more you know, the more you can dance, and the more shots you may be assigned. Just consider it according to the actual situation."

"The left playlist will be recorded on Wednesday, and the right playlist will be recorded on Sunday. During this period, you can use the practice room freely. Remember to combine work and rest. During the rest period, rest should be the main thing, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The instructor paused for a moment and added, "There may be other arrangements this week, and we are currently discussing this with the program team."

He Chen smiled gently: "I think this should be considered good news."

Uncertain good news is just empty talk. Compared with the latter, Jiang Huai is more concerned about the recording of random dance.

He counted on his fingers and found that there were twenty songs on each side. If a challenge clip was estimated to be thirty seconds, it would take him ten minutes to learn in three days. Excluding the few songs he already knew, the number was not too large and he should be able to finish learning them all.

"Do you want to finish all the papers?" Sheng Mingzhi, who was standing beside him, looked at him and thought, "If you want to finish the papers, take me with you. Don't do it alone, okay?"

The keyword was triggered, and Zhou Chengwen next door subconsciously replied "OK". He realized that Sheng Mingzhi was not talking to him before he said it, and said angrily: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Sometimes I really am..." Zhou Chengwen's sudden episode made Jiang Huai speechless and want to laugh. He turned around and answered Sheng Mingzhi, "You can slander me. When did I secretly roll up my sleeves by myself? You make it sound like someone is blocking the door of the practice room and not letting you in."

"Isn't there someone blocking the practice room door?" Sheng Mingzhi stood at the door of Class A's practice room, with his arms folded across his chest, confronting the person in front of him.

Si Xi said righteously: "You are not invited."

Jian Yuan hesitated to speak, Shan Tonghe turned his head and asked: "You have always been like this..."

He concocted a respectable but odd phrase: "Is life interesting?"

"I don't know." Jiang Huai said numbly, "It has nothing to do with me. I don't know them at all. Thank you."

During the two days, the whole practice room was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Jiang Huai found that in the later stages of the program recording, everyone's mental state was indeed quite different from the beginning, but the direction of change was also completely different - some people were depressed, and some people were addicted to acting.

819 is always on the rise if you don't get punished for three days: [It's obvious that you are the one who is most addicted to drama. 】

[I have directed and performed fewer small plays these days than before,] Jiang Huai refuted with reason, [You are also slandering me.]

Facts have proved that people cannot set a flag first.

Half a day after Chu Yuanqing said that he had not been busy acting recently, he received a call from the program crew.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chu Yuanqing?"

"Yes." Chu Yuanqing had just returned home from get off work. He was changing his shoes at the door with his briefcase across his body and his cell phone sandwiched between his right shoulder and ear.

He finally finished sorting his things and freed his hands to answer the phone: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"I'm a staff member of the "Produce Producer" program team. This week, we have planned a surprise visit from family members. It is currently scheduled for Thursday morning. There may be adjustments later. Are you free to attend?"

Chu Yuanqing hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. The slightly cool liquid flowed down his mouth and throat into his stomach before he sat down on the sofa.

[It is indeed good news.] Jiang Huai commented, [It is quite happy that my family came to visit the set.]

But he couldn't figure out a question: [Where did the program crew get Chu Yuanqing's phone number? Although he was given a camera before, why did they have contact information? ]

The system retrieved the data and recalled: [When you filled out the player registration form, you filled in Chu Yuanqing as the emergency contact. Did you forget? ]

[…No wonder. I thought the program crew was going to be involved in the issue of abusing viewers’ personal information.]

[I don’t know what’s going on with the production team,] the system snorted coldly, [I only know that Chu Yuanqing is going to take a leave of absence again.]

It said angrily: [I am the one who teaches all the classes! You are the one who takes all the holidays! How can this be justified? ]

The recording of the random dance on Wednesday went very smoothly. Several people in the same practice room learned all the songs in laughter and basically danced from beginning to end.

Thursday, August 22nd.

Before the random dance recording yesterday, some contestants were notified to gather in the studio this afternoon. The PD was vague and it sounded like there was some special surprise that was hidden and not even announced in advance.

Just like the previous phone session, this time the relatives took turns to enter the small room to record the session. The trainees did not need to return to the studio after recording, which effectively avoided spoilers.

The trainees around him were discussing lively, but Jiang Huai, who knew what to do in advance, remained calm.

Yu Lan, a lonely man, was sleeping on his bed in the dormitory. He wanted to perform some gay drama but he had no place to perform. He was very bored.

"I have a bad feeling." Si Xi suddenly said, "I don't think it's a good thing."

Considering this person's family situation...it might not be a good thing. He patted the other person's shoulder sympathetically: "Good luck."

Jiang Huai cuts to Chu Yuanqing's vest. Chu Yuanqing is waiting backstage, with people coming and going around him, most of whom are trainees' families.

He had an inappropriate association with the parent open day sessions when he was a child, when he would come to school every semester to see what his children were doing and chat with the teachers of various subjects.

He sighed, thinking that he had become a parent himself.

A young woman sat down next to him, and Chu Yuanqing took a brief look at her.

The other person's overall dressing style is sisterly, with big wavy hair, which looks very cool.

But what is most striking is her extremely tall stature. She looks to be about 1.7 meters tall, not to mention the 7-8 cm high heels on her feet.

Probably taller than many trainees, he looked away in surprise.

The other party was bored waiting in the backstage. He was probably playing with his phone and felt bored. He noticed the person sitting next to him and said, "Hey, are you the one..."

"Brother Jiang Huai." Chu Yuanqing replied readily.

"I was wondering why you looked so familiar," she clapped her hands, "I'm Sister Sheng Mingzhi."

The two chatted casually for a while, mainly Sheng Mingzhao talking and Chu Yuanqing listening.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she started to talk nonstop. She first said that when they were young, Sheng Mingzhi stole her chocolate, and before she started to scold him, Sheng Mingzhi burst into tears. The bad guy complained to his parents first, causing her to be scolded.

Later they talked about this and that, and came to the previous phone call where Sheng Mingzhi asked her if she had voted for him. Sheng Mingzhao said confidently that of course not, I voted for other contestants.

...No wonder Sheng Mingzhi used the adjective "very annoying" when he talked about his sister before.

A sister who knows all your dark history since childhood and is close enough to joke with you...

It feels closer to "scary" than "annoying".

"In fact, I still voted for him." Sheng Mingzhao said with emotion, "But I wanted to laugh when I saw him dancing seriously. I'm really not used to seeing that the little guy who used to work hard and never complain has grown up so big."

Chu Yuanqing then began to make up unreal childhood memories: "Indeed. Jiang Huai was a little shy when he was young, but I didn't expect that he would be able to make good friends after recording the show for more than a month. How should I put it," he said half-truthfully, as if he was speaking from an emotional point of view, "I'm quite happy for him, right?"

Sheng Mingzhao was called away by the program crew. Jiang Huai waited boredly in the studio for another twenty minutes, almost falling asleep in his chair, when it was finally Chu Yuanqing's turn.

Pushing open the door of the small room, Jiang Huai showed a surprised expression at the right moment: "...It turns out to be the family visit segment, no wonder there was no advance notice."

Chu Yuanqing's originally serious face showed a smile: "How is it? Are you quite surprised?"

Jiang Huai nodded first, pulled out the chair opposite Chu Yuanqing and sat down, then asked in doubt: "Isn't today Thursday? Brother Chu, you don't have to go to work?"

System: [Sometimes I am really speechless. ]

Chu Yuanqing avoided the question and didn't answer Jiang Huai's question about skipping work. He stared at him up and down for a long time and said, "You've lost weight."

He said firmly: "Did you not eat well at the base?"

"I eat well." Jiang Huai scratched the strands of hair on his forehead. "It's normal to lose some weight due to the heavy training. There's no problem with my health. Don't worry, brother."

"You need to eat more, otherwise you won't have the energy to sing and dance." Chu Yuanqing was still observing carefully, "I didn't get the ticket for the third public performance. I watched the live broadcast and I felt that you had lost weight in the camera. In real life, I felt..."

Jiang Huai interrupted his chattering: "Brother, I really eat well. I don't miss any of the three meals a day, but I eat light meals in the cafeteria, so I lost weight. I'm still very healthy."

According to his understanding, after not seeing them for more than a month, in addition to the classic "You've lost weight", the elders usually say something like this: "You must be very tired during this period. I know you want to be perfect on every stage. It's good to work hard, but you also need to rest well. Health is the most important thing."

"Brother, you are such a fool." Jiang Huai sighed, "It's a rare opportunity to visit the set, but you only urged me to eat and rest. Don't you have anything else to say?"

Chu Yuanqing heard this and smiled gently: "Of course I have other things to say, but your health is definitely the most important. After the show is over, Xiao Jiang Star, come to my place for something good to eat?"

"...The name 'Little Jiang Star' is too awkward. I don't know what the result will be." Jiang Huai held his forehead with his hand, "I will definitely not forget to have dinner. Didn't I say that at the fan meeting?"

He said exaggeratedly: "I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Chu Yuanqing said gently: "No matter what the final result is, you will always be the first in my heart."

He seemed to think it was a bit too sentimental, and coughed twice unnaturally, trying to use a light tone to ease the heavy words just now: "Of course, you are also the number one in the hearts of many fans who like you."
