Boy Group Audition, Exploding in Popularity Through Gossip

[Main story completed, extras updated daily~]

Journalism student Yi Jingchen was bound to an unethical system that forced him to participate in an idol survival show to debut as the center.

Debut stage

Debut stage

When Dong Ai heard 'Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoshisan', she suddenly turned over and sat up, and the thin blanket around her waist slipped off. She didn't care about the noble figure of the so-called 'old artist' at all, and looked at Yi Jingchen in shock, with disbelief written all over her face.

Her lips moved, and she really wanted to ask Yi Jingchen how he knew that he had thirteen mistresses and that he doted on Xiaowu and Xiaoliu the most.

As a result, Dong Ai opened and closed her mouth again and again, but could not utter a word, as if her throat was being strangled by an invisible force.

Yi Jingchen was stared at by him for a while, and felt that the old artist in front of him was a little puzzled.

[Why is the respected 'senior' staring at me?]

[I'm not your type.]

[I'm an adult now!]

Yi Jingchen revealed a huge amount of information.

In an instant, not only Dong Yi's face turned pale as if facing a great enemy, but even the people around her changed their expressions.

For the first time, Dong Ai's work team learned that she not only kept as many as thirteen puppies outside (the company only knew about two), but also liked to prey on minors!

This wave of news is not as simple as "female celebrities supporting young men".

In an environment where gender equality is gradually gaining, Dong Ai, who is over 40 years old, is bound to be charged with the crime of "sexually assaulting a minor", which will lead to her losing her reputation in her later years.

punishment.

It's really too cruel.

They looked at Yi Jingchen as if they were seeing the King of Hell.

The rest of Aurora's teammates moved at the same time and stood in front of Du Xingwei to prevent him from being targeted by the old witch who was old enough to be his mother.

Both sides felt uncomfortable and didn't want to have too much contact with each other. After a perfunctory greeting, Aurora immediately left Dong Ai's lounge.

It’s a pity that there is no live broadcast behind the scenes of the Spring Song Festival.

Otherwise, there must be more than just these few people who got to know about the shocking news just now.

As a newcomer who has only been debuted for five days, Aurora is very knowledgeable about the rules. She greeted each group of guests one by one before returning to her own lounge.

The organizers knew that there were so many of them, so they prepared a very large lounge with complete facilities, second only to Dong Ai's in specifications.

The Spring Song Festival officially starts tomorrow, and today is just a rehearsal, so there is no need to prepare a full set of makeup.

The younger brothers are already popular artists, and their clothing from head to toe is sponsored. Both their performance costumes and private clothes are contracted by major brands.

The clothing sponsor has the physical data of each team member, and the performance costumes are prepared directly according to their body shapes without the need for additional adjustments.

The costume designer quickly selected the appropriate costumes for the performance and was just waiting for the staff to notify them to go on stage for rehearsal.

Before Aurora arrived, the other guests participating in the concert had already arrived early and finished rehearsal early.

There is no rehearsal yet, only their group and senior Dong Yi.

Dong Ai was particular about pomp and circumstance and always wanted to show off her status.

Simply put: you must greet her first when greeting her, you must be the first to appear on stage, and you must stand in the middle when taking photos.

If she went to film a movie, she would definitely get beaten to a pulp because of her fight for the role.

Therefore, even though Dong Ai arrived earlier than Aurora, she had to go on stage last during the rehearsal and let all the staff stay with her until the end.

This caused the organizers a headache, and they had to discuss the rehearsal order with Aurora, who had just arrived at the scene and had not yet had a good rest.

"Okay." Yi Jingchen agreed readily, "Let's rehearse first."

"Um."

My teammates had no objection either.

The Spring Song Festival is the new group’s debut performance, however, they have had several performance experiences before this.

Before each performance, the production team would take them to the on-site rehearsal.

There is no fixed order for rehearsals during the competition period. Basically, whichever group arrives will start rehearsing, so everyone is familiar with rehearsals.

The nine brothers brought their own radio equipment and stood on the big stage.

Assistant Wan took out his phone, stood by the stage, and called out to them from afar, "Teachers, please fix your makeup and hair. I'm going to start the live broadcast."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister."

"Wait a minute, let me fix my hair!"

The new group has just debuted and has not released any works yet.

It is a rare opportunity to catch up with the rehearsal for the first show, so the company has long planned to take the opportunity to start a live broadcast to maintain the exposure of the new group.

Anyway, they performed their debut song, and everyone had already heard it on the final night, so there was no need to keep it secret.

"I'm ready~" Yi Jingchen straightened his hair, took out a sticker from his pocket, and stuck it on the Wangzai Milk label in Mu Gan's hand.

The program team specifically reminded them that after their debut, they would be able to receive endorsements for their daily necessities at any time.

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid displaying product trademarks so as not to affect the commercial value of the star.

Mu Gan gulped down a mouthful of milk and muttered, "What's the point of blocking the trademark? That big-eyed guy is still showing."

"That makes sense!" Yi Jingchen tore off a few more stickers and stuck the grinning big-eyed boy firmly on, leaving only a few tufts of frizzy hair.

Just at this moment, Assistant Wan started the live broadcast, and the first audience to rush into the live broadcast room saw this scene.

[Thank you for your hard work, Captain! ]

[I've been advertising for you for three months, why haven't you found a milk-dried milk product to endorse? @WangzaiMilk]

[I know because he was drinking Wangzai, but he said Wahaha strawberry flavor was better]

[The strawberry flavor is definitely better, hurry up and find some milk powder to be the spokesperson!]

[But Nai Gan has been drinking Wangzai all the time! Sponsors from both sides are looking for him, and they are afraid of being suddenly backstabbed.]

[Sisters, stop paying attention to Milk. Didn’t you notice that the debut song has a new arrangement?]

[Isn't that strange? Since the finals night didn't determine who would debut, the debut song was sung in unison and the choreography was unified. The parts will only be divided after the debut and subsequent performances.]

[After the new part division, I feel that the debut song is even better. The scene where Chenchen is surrounded in the middle is so cute.]

[It's really too C. I'm a little worried that the silly silver gradient won't be able to hold its own during the official performance.]

Although the debut song to be performed at the first show, the singing and dancing parts have not been changed.

When it was re-arranged, individual movements of each member were added, and the movements became more complicated.

There are many members in a 9-person group, and if they are not familiar with the positioning, they can easily bump into each other during the performance.

After the brothers finished rehearsing the dance moves, they planned to go through the stage moves twice more to prevent any mistakes.

As a result, when the movement was just going smoothly, someone came over and stopped us with his hands on his hips.

"Have you finished rehearsing? Why are you still occupying the stage?"

Everyone looked at him and found that it was Dong Ai's ferocious personal assistant whom they had just met.

Yi Jingchen, in line with the attitude of "harmony brings wealth", explained in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, we haven't finished rehearsing yet. We were just practicing the moves, and now we need to practice the positioning."

"Why are there so many excuses? What's so good about smooth positioning?" Dong Ai, whom he is in charge of, has been in the industry for twenty years and has never had the term "smooth positioning". He thought Yi Jingchen was deliberately looking for trouble.

The assistant's expression became even more ferocious, and he demanded forcefully, "Clear the stage. Teacher Dong is rehearsing now. Our time is already set. Do you dare to delay?"

"Oh, oh, calm down." The concert coordinator stepped forward, holding the schedule in his hand, and said with an apologetic smile, "It's everyone's turn to rehearse. The schedule has regulations. When we discussed it, Teacher Dong requested a final rehearsal, so we arranged it for her. Aurora still has twenty minutes of rehearsal time, you see..."

"What do you mean? Blaming Teacher Dong for being unpunctual?" The assistant glared at him. "Everyone rehearses for thirty minutes, so why should they rehearse for an hour? Teacher Dong has already waited ten minutes longer, and they still don't know what's good for them. Are they making a senior wait for a bunch of newcomers?"

Yi Jingchen walked off the stage and roughly figured out the cause and effect from their conversation.

In order to create a "show", Dong Ai's team also wanted to be the first to perform during the rehearsal.

The organizer conveniently placed Aurora before Dong Ai in the rehearsal order.

Considering that Aurora has many members and they all have to sing and dance, rehearsals naturally take time.

Therefore, the organizers reserved twice the rehearsal time for them.

But Dong Yi was not satisfied. Perhaps she was dissatisfied with the preferential treatment Aurora received, so she sent her assistant to ask for an explanation.

"Well, I'll go and communicate." Yi Jingchen, as the team leader, took the initiative to step forward. "It's just a small misunderstanding, just explain it clearly."

"You? Can you do it?" Tongtong looked at Yi Jingchen suspiciously.

"Of course!" Yi Jingchen puffed out his chest and lifted his belly.

[I, an ordinary little communication genius!]

The coordinator has seen many "old artists" who rely on their status to bully newcomers, and Dong Ai is especially bad.

Seeing Yi Jingchen taking the initiative to "die", he immediately winked at Assistant Wan to prevent the newcomer from being bullied for no reason.

Assistant Wan understood what he meant and immediately followed with his phone still live on the broadcast.

Yi Jingchen had a clear goal and went straight to the outside of Dong Ai's lounge.

The door was not closed, but half-open.

Yi Jingchen was a little surprised.

[She's so arrogant, why doesn't she close the door to her bedroom?]

Before Yi Jingchen could figure out the result, a handsome boy with light-colored eyes came over, accompanied by Dong Ai's agent. He was wearing a youthful sailor suit.

The boy saw Yi Jingchen, looked him up and down, and asked in a foreign language without thinking, "Are you here to see your mother too?"

"Ah?!" Yi Jingchen was stunned, "Who is your mother?"

The boy said Dong Ai's name and pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing this, Yi Jingchen followed closely despite his agent's attempts to stop him.

As soon as I entered, I saw the boy walking in front, calling "Mom" obediently, and walked to Dong Ai and hugged her.

Dong Ai was completely attracted by the boy's attention. She hugged him warmly and said something like "Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the hotel?"

The two people have such a close relationship that it is not an ordinary mother-son relationship at all.

Yi Jingchen covered his mouth, suddenly felt nauseous and almost vomited.

[No wonder Dong Ai was so mean to us. Turns out she likes underage foreign boys. What a beast!]

[She actually harmed thirteen children like this!]

[Aren’t you afraid of retribution?]

Dong Ai heard a strange noise and looked towards the door, only to find Yi Jingchen following in.

She reacted immediately, pushed the boy in her arms away, and scolded Yi Jingchen loudly, "What are you doing in here? Get out."

"oh."

Yi Jingchen spoke dryly, not wanting to call this kind of person "teacher", so he just referred to him as "you".

"I came to talk to you about rehearsal. Our group still needs twenty minutes."

"No!" Dong Yi refused angrily, "I've already waited for you for ten more minutes. I have other plans."

Yi Jingchen pursed his lips and looked at the boy in her arms with sympathy.

[Are you rushing us along like crazy just to finish rehearsal quickly so you can go back to the hotel and harass underage boys?]

The boy obviously didn't understand the conversation between him and Dong Ai, and his light-colored eyes showed deep confusion.

Yi Jingchen couldn't interpret his inner thoughts, but he could guess that he and Dong Ai probably didn't develop this deformed "mother-son" relationship through mutual consent.

Yi Jingchen frowned and asked, "Our group is rehearsing according to the procedure. How does this bother you?"

Dong Yi opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself. She glared at Yi Jingchen angrily and impatiently, wanting her agent to kick him out.

The agent noticed Assistant Wan's phone screen, but didn't dare to act rashly and kept winking at him.

Yi Jingchen ignored him and asked him questions directly in a language that boys could understand, asking him why he had developed such a relationship with Dong Yi.

At the same time, Assistant Wan recorded everything in full.

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked by the news, and the familiar process started. Some people followed the clues to dig deeper, while others stayed in the live broadcast room, waiting for the royal translator to come online.

After Yi Jingchen's interviews and translation, they discovered that Dong Ai was far more vicious than they had imagined.

She has extensive experience and a certain status in the industry, and enjoys popularity and respect.

Even if you have fame, fortune and wealth, you still feel extremely empty emotionally.

In the early years, Dong Ai kept several mistresses in China. As a result, they knew about each other's existence and quarreled and threatened each other every day. After breaking up, they asked Dong Ai for a breakup fee, otherwise they would expose the matter.

In order to save her career, Dong Ai spent money to avoid disaster.

After that, she realized that it was not safe to find a domestic puppy.

It’s best to find a boy who is naive, not blinded by money, and has nowhere to complain even if he is violated.

So Dong Ai extended her evil claws abroad.

Every time he performs abroad, if he meets the unfavored one in a large family or a poor child, he will extend the olive branch of "free study abroad" to persuade the other party's parents to bring their child to China and take care of them as a "host parent".

When the children came to China, they were unfamiliar with the place and were completely controlled by Dong Ai.

The so-called "free study abroad" is just a pretense.

Dong Ai didn't allow them to learn languages ​​or access the Internet, for fear that they would be too smart and realize what they had suffered.

In order to fool the parents of the children, Dong Ai set up her own educational institution and invited foreign teachers who also did not speak the language to pretend to teach.

The boy in front of her is the legendary Xiaowu, her favorite.

He was tricked by Dong Ai when he was fourteen years old. Now he is seventeen years old and has been almost completely tamed.

He called Dong Ai "Mom" and lived in the living area she designated, isolated from the outside world for a long time.

When she saw Yi Jingchen, she thought her mother had a new child and was used to it.

[Wow! Is Dong Ai breaking the law?]

[She's quite cunning. Some netizens dug up the school she founded and found that she also portrayed the school as a non-profit organization, which really ruined her personality.]

[Fuck the character, forget about it. Chinese entertainment uses public welfare to fuck with the character. The point is, according to the student list at his school, those children's countries of origin have vague protections for boys, and some are refugee children who don't receive any protection at all.]

The refugee children are already pitiful. They could have worked hard to change their lives, but...

[I always think it’s a joke that boys have to protect themselves when they are outside]

[This is a bit of a joke, but the fact is that boys can be harassed. Although the child Dong Ai molested was not protected, her behavior crossed the line.]

I found the phone number of the nearest police station and reported the situation.

Not long after the incident broke out, netizens also dug up Dong Ai’s previous work, called "The Queen and the Seven Princes".

At that time, everyone thought Dong Ai was planning to change her style.

Now when I look back on it, I find it extremely terrifying.

At the same time, Dong Yi, who had no idea about the existence of live broadcast, saw Yi Jingchen constantly asking questions to her "child". Her anger reached its peak instantly and she strode towards Yi Jingchen.

"Have you asked enough? It's none of your business!" After saying that, she noticed Assistant Wan, who was filming in the back, and became even more irritable. He reached out and slapped the thing in her hand, "Why are you filming?"

Assistant Wan reacted quickly and hurriedly picked up the phone.

Before Dong Ai could strike for the second time, she said stubbornly, "I'm live streaming."

“…” Dong Ai was stunned, unable to believe what she heard.

Dong Ai's agent ran over and told her that Yi Jingchen's team had been broadcasting live from the beginning.

Dong Ai's expression immediately became extremely interesting.

Yi Jingchen walked up to the boy, asked a few more questions, took out his cell phone to ask for help from an international youth rescue agency, and decided to provide assistance to the 17 other foreign flowers that had been harmed by him.

From the boys, Yi Jingchen learned that among those children, the oldest was twenty years old and the youngest was only thirteen years old, and their lives had just begun.

As long as they are willing to get rid of this nightmare, the compensation they get after suing Dong Ai should be enough for them to bravely start a new life.

The matter quickly became a big deal, and the nearby police officer took Dong Ai away in public.

When leaving, many reporters who had originally planned to film the rehearsal for Reuters took pictures of this scene and were so excited that they wanted to kneel down to Yi Jingchen.

Follow the God of Melons to pick up some materials, and you can indeed achieve your KPI!

The organizers of the Spring Song Festival were immediately panicked when they saw that the big star they had invited to headline the event turned out to be a legal expert.

what to do?

It’s too late to invite new guests to save the situation now.

Which famous singer in the circle doesn’t confirm his schedule two or three months in advance?

The Spring Song Festival was just an ordinary-level concert and not very important, so the organizers did not make any backup preparations.

Dong Ai was absent, and the other artists who came to perform were clearly not qualified.

But their concert is organized by a satellite TV station. If the finale guest is not attractive, the ratings will definitely plummet.

The organizing team discussed it and quickly made a decision that went against their ancestors.

.

The next day.

Aurora's first performance since debut.

Even though they only performed one song and didn't appear after the opening, 80% of the audience seats were still occupied by fans.

Before the performance began, they shouted Aurora and the other members' names and waved colorful light signs.

After their debut, group members no longer have to fight to the death for the debut spot, and they are no longer so tense when sitting together.

A few fans who bought the same product as me met each other and greeted each other in a friendly manner.

"Hi, are you a fan of Jiujiu's husband?"

"You... Star Mom, right?"

"I'm Mushroom's girlfriend fan, not his mom fan."

"Mushroom-senpai's girlfriend fan? Such a rare breed. Hello, I'm Shu Lang's sister fan."

"The one next to him holding the cat light board is..." Everyone knows that Yi Jingchen's fans are divided, so they dare not make a judgment casually.

The girl turned around and said in a friendly manner, "I'm a fan of idol Xiaochen. After his debut, my family will temporarily stop fighting, don't worry."

After a few people greeted each other, they estimated that the concert would not start for half an hour, so they gathered together to laugh and chat.

"I originally thought that after my debut, life would be good, with new songs every day and performances every night."

"Who isn't? It turns out the undebuted groups show up more often."

"Has anyone from the undebut group shown up?"

"Brother Cen recorded a variety show the day before yesterday, filmed a commercial yesterday, and is live streaming a product today. He hasn't had a break since the finals."

"The same goes for Nana and Xiao Shisan. Xiao Shisan originally wanted to go back to the bar, but he had too many announcements."

"You Mo has joined the crew, and he's the second male lead in a big production! The director is really good this time, he personally decided on the role, so no one else will snatch it up."

"Good, good, everyone has a bright future."

Although they envy the undebuted group for appearing in public every day, they also know that the nine-member group needs to work together in the early stages.

The operations team intends to continue Thrill's development path rather than allowing them to make quick money.

Therefore, fans are willing to wait a little longer, cherish every opportunity to meet, and give Aurora the best support.

Before the concert started, everyone knew that the new group’s first performance would be their debut song T, so they stayed up late to learn the entire song and waited for the whole audience to sing along.

But the moment the prelude sounded, everyone was stunned.

etc!

Where is the debut song "Aurora"?

Why is Aurora's opening theme song the "Super Idol"?

The audience suspected that the sound teacher had played the song wrong, so they looked at the screen and found that it showed "Super pick", which was the title of the theme song.

The younger brothers came onto the stage, Yi Jingchen stood in the middle, and began to perform the theme song that he had sung countless times during the competition.

Although everyone didn't understand why the program team changed the song at the last minute, they still cooperated and cheered.

It was not until Aurora left the stage that people started searching online and saw the latest version of the program list for the Spring Song Festival.

Opening song: "Super pick"

Ending song: "Aurora"

The new troupe’s first performance was both the opening and closing performance, and they enjoyed an unprecedented display.

This caused netizens who did not know the group to complain and question where such a group came from and how they could enjoy such an honor in a large-scale performance held by a satellite TV station.

Are you questioning Aurora's lack of headlining status? Our little band didn't even want to be the headlining act. The organizers begged us to do it.

Aurora's opening stage was impromptu, and they performed flawlessly, saving the day. It's unjust that they're being criticized for it.

[Whose idol is opening and closing the show? It turns out it’s mine!]

[This wave of appearances is full. Although our small group only has two announcements a week, both times are effective exposure]

[Indeed, the first wave fucked the team spirit, the second exposure gave enough face, and in five days, it gained the fame of others in five months]

【Say it with me, thank you Melon God! 】

[Thank you, Captain! If he hadn't ruined Dong Ai's reputation and the organizers couldn't find a savior, how could our little group have gotten a chance to participate?]

[Reminds me of that trending search, #Why did you mess with him#]

Wait, is our group nickname the Little Po Group? Where's the Big A Group?

"Oh my God, I'm so nervous!" Lu Jiu covered his chest.

Aurora stepped down, and each member looked relieved.

Shu Lang was also not at ease. "We were only notified this morning that the opening song had to be changed. We didn't even have time to rehearse."

Tian Xitu: "Luckily it's the theme song, so we don't have to rehearse it."

"I feel very happy~" Du Xingwei said happily, "I like dancing to the theme song, it's lively!"

Yi Jingchen feels the same way, "I'm more familiar with the theme song than my debut song."

Smoke Dust: "Anyway, our performance went very smoothly."

Li Jibai loosened his collar, looked at his friends, and felt himself ignited again.

You Lingyu checked the time and urged, "Shouldn't we go change clothes?"

Yi Jingchen hurriedly urged, "That's right! Change your clothes!"

"Ah?" Mu Gan had just opened a can of milk. "Can't you wait until I finish drinking it?"

Yi Jingchen slapped a few stickers on the bottles and jars, then grabbed Mu Gan's wrist and said, "Drink while you change!"

Perhaps they were PUA-ed by the final night, and they subconsciously felt that the time for changing clothes must be extremely tight, so they rushed into the locker room in a hurry.

After changing my clothes, I realized that I had only passed two stages.

Their second program was ranked 18th, so they had plenty of time.

The friends finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the stylist to do their makeup and hair, while they shared their feelings about their first debut group stage.

"I don't feel anything." Mu Gan had just been pulled by him, half of his milk spilled, and he spoke with resentment, "Dancing the theme song, it's no different from the competition period."

"It still feels different," You Lingyu said. "It's not tense anymore."

"Yeah." Luju nodded in agreement. "During the competition, I was terrified of every stage, worried there wouldn't be a next time. But now it's different. I'm really looking forward to the next time I'm on stage."

Yi Jingchen thought for a moment and asked everyone, "So, our debut stage performance was considered a success, right?"

"That's half the battle." Shu Lang said, "Our debut performance should be 'Aurora'."

As everyone expected, the original debut stage was "Aurora", and "Super pick" was just a warm-up before the first show.

Li Jibai said firmly, "Fight for our honor!"

He felt that this sentence was explosive.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"That's too childish."

"Don't laugh, little JB is serious!"

"Okay, okay, fight for our honor."

Before going on stage, they stayed in the waiting area and formed a circle again.

Yi Jingchen: "Aurora——"

"Fight for our honor!"

The audience in the front row could see the scene in the waiting area and smiled indulgently.

"Look, our chuuni boy group."

"What's wrong with being a chuunibana? If you don't have a chuunibana, you're not going to live your youth."

"Super pick" was a temporary rescue performance. There was not even time for rehearsal and re-arrangement. It all relied on the tacit understanding of the nine people.

"Aurora" is different, it was specially prepared by them for their debut stage.

Not only are there brand new parts, but they also have little surprises hidden in them.

The entire audience was boiling.

"Ahhh! Yi Jingchen is so good!"

"That line 'You and I are both light' was so beautiful. Yi Jingchen is the chosen one for cultivation!"

"Jiujiu, my wife is so beautiful~ Be more confident, you are a great vocalist!"

"Naigan, you're trying so hard to make me feel unfamiliar. You used to be so quiet on stage."

"Did anyone see that cat's paw blossom just now? Is it a re-enactment of cat gymnastics?"

"I'm dying of our little group's cuteness. My blood tank is empty!"

The audience was so adorable that they were almost dead. Online, the haters who had been leading the discussion and saying that they were not worthy of being the top performer, disappeared at the same time.

Only fans and passers-by who like him are left, praising him crazily.

After the stage ended, terms such as #Aurora排面#, #Aurora is a senior boy group that debuted five days ago#, and #Yi Jingchen is so C# were strongly searched.

The organizers were very impressed with Aurora and thanked them for their temporary help. They agreed to cooperate with them in the next summer concert and in the second half of the year.

Other platforms, noticing Aurora's popularity and influence, are planning to discuss cooperation with the company.

As we all know, if a new popular boy group wants to gain a foothold, it needs to undergo various tests.

The operating company did not intend to make quick money. After taking on the S-level variety show and the Spring Song Festival, they put the preparation of the new album on the agenda to avoid having to rehash old songs or sing other people's songs on stage later.

The new album meeting was held in an orderly manner, and everything progressed smoothly from the album concept to the included tracks and then to the participation of all staff in the design.

Yi Jingchen clearly felt that Aurora was gradually becoming more regular, and his teammates were working hard for the new team.

Although he cannot help much in the original creation of the work, he can provide a role in promotion and concept, and strive to play his role as captain.

In addition to preparing for the group special, Yi Jingchen's graduation arrangements are also progressing smoothly.

He wrote the first draft of the thesis and sent it to his supervisor to wait for feedback. He also took the time to contact his leader to ask when his formal employment application would be approved.

The leader kept his word and did not block Yi Jingchen's application for regularization.

Taking into account that he has to focus on his idol work this year, and that he doesn't have a diploma yet, his superiors have temporarily classified him as "pending regularization."

After Yi Jingchen finishes his other work and receives his diploma, he can come to the station to apply for regular employment.

Yi Jingchen didn't expect his boss to be so straightforward, and secretly complained to his senior: I thought the boss would definitely threaten me with becoming a regular employee and force me to write 100 articles for him. If I didn't pass, I wouldn't get the job.

After a while, the senior replied: Xiaoyi, the leader just saw our chat history behind me.

Yi Jingchen: ???

Before he could figure out how to explain, he received another message from his leader:

"You have to write 100 articles and pass them before you can become a regular employee."

Yi Jingchen:!!!

[Help! ]

Why do I have to die like this?

Yi Jingchen argued painfully with his leader, reducing the number from 100 to 21, and barely reached a consensus.

There were still 21 manuscripts left before he could be hired as a full-time employee, and Yi Jingchen was worried about where he should find the materials.

As he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

“Boss, boss!”

The employees of nyanya Entertainment finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to Yi Jingchen.

He was holding a thick stack of printed materials in his hands, all piled up under Yi Jingchen's nose.

"Boss, why aren't you replying to my work messages?"

"Huh?" Yi Jingchen looked at his nominal agent in confusion, "Did you send a message?"

The agent said nothing and threw the phone in front of Yi Jingchen.

Only then did Yi Jingchen realize that it was his 'work number'.

He is so devoted to his career that he plans to create a professional account to handle matters related to the entertainment industry.

On the day of his debut night, he added his teammates and other friends to his personal account, and his work account was forgotten.

Yi Jingchen fiddled with it fearfully for a while, then slowly raised the cat's head.

"I, I seem to have forgotten the password to that work number."

"Boss!" The agent's voice rose an octave.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Yi Jingchen slid to his knees in a cowardice, gave up his work account, added his agent to his friend list, and asked him what he wanted to talk to him about.

The agent reached out and tapped on the pile of documents in front of Yi Jingchen.

"These are your backup personal announcements for after your debut."

"So many!" Yi Jingchen estimated that there were at least dozens of copies, maybe even hundreds.

In addition to various variety shows, business, and performances, there are also film contracts.

Outrageous.

Yi Jingchen clearly said that he was not considering acting for the time being, as he was not a professional actor.

"These are the ones I've screened." The agent felt a little tired. It was also a problem when the artist was too popular.

Yi Jingchen flipped through it, glanced at it, and put it back. "I can't take it. I have to focus on group activities right now."

"Even if you focus on group activities, you still have to take care of your personal development. It's impossible to completely avoid personal announcements."

"I know, I don't understand this." Yi Jingchen looked at his agent, "You are a top agent in the industry. You should know what is suitable for me. Make the decision for me."

The agent was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "Boss, you should know that you hired me with a huge investment. If that's the case, I could also be hired by someone else with a huge investment. Do you really trust me that much?"

"Well, trust your employees." Yi Jingchen said with a smile, his eyes curved. "If someone wants to recruit you, tell me and I'll give you a higher salary."

"You really are... no wonder they say you're stupid."

The agent, completely defeated by his new boss, plopped down beside him and expressed his thoughts, "The scripts you handed me are all big productions, considered S-level resources by others. Without your permission, I wouldn't dare push for such a big investment. Since you're willing to let me make the decision, I don't think it's appropriate to take on the role now."

"Yeah." Yi Jingchen nodded, "I can't act."

"That's also a problem. If I mess up my performance, it'll affect my reputation. I turned it down. Also, regarding endorsements, the first thing an artist should do after their debut is to take on endorsements while they're still hot, lest they fade into obscurity in a few days. I think if you're not in a rush to make money, you can wait. These days, endorsements are all short-term, only lasting three months. It's like a scumbag who's having sex with you. After cashing in on the traffic and cutting off your fans, they'll just sign someone else."

“419…”

"You don't know what 419 means?"

Yi Jingchen immediately said, "I know."

[I just didn't expect you to use the term 419 to describe your sponsor.]

[So accurate.]

"My suggestion is that once your traffic stabilizes, you can then take on stable, long-term endorsements to foster healthy collaborations."

"Okay, what else?" Yi Jingchen asked again.

"Next is variety shows. There are indeed many that have come to us, many of which are national-level, covering both domestic and international content, but—"

The agent concluded, "It's not suitable for your first solo activity."

He obviously knew Yi Jingchen and retrieved an invitation from the ones he had previously passed.

Yi Jingchen leaned over to take a look, frowned, and said, "I don't accept commercial comic exhibitions."

[Why did the comic convention contact my agency?]

[This is not my agency's business.]

Yi Jingchen doesn't want to confuse his hobbies with his work.

"I knew you wouldn't accept it, so I turned it down a long time ago," the agent explained. "What I meant was that your first public event after your debut doesn't necessarily have to be in the entertainment industry."

"They've been waiting for you for a long time, right?"
