What does it mean to meet your nemesis on a narrow road? This is it!

Sally had just spent the whole night arguing with Wu Lin on WeChat because of his underhanded tactics, and then blocked him, deciding never to have anything to do with him again. But she never expected that the next day she would receive a program about a boy band competition, and the manager of one of the members of the boy band was none other than Wu Lin.

What's even more speechless is that Sally was having hot pot with Li Qiao at the restaurant, munching on spicy lamb skewers while complaining that Wu Lin was too greasy, only to turn around and see the person in question standing right behind her.

Wu Lin also had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the "Call in progress" message on Sally's phone screen, along with the three words displayed on the call page: "Yin the Skinflint."

Wu Lin smiled knowingly: "Oh, is that President Yin on the other end of the call?"

The bubbling sound of the hot pot also masked Rong Yu's earlier question into the phone, "What's wrong?"

Yin Chengjue didn't reply, and Wu Lin sneered again: "Last night, indeed, thank you for your hospitality, President Yin."

Yin Chengjue's voice also turned cold: "Likewise."

Li Qiao turned her gaze to a fair-skinned, innocent-looking young man standing next to Wu Lin: "Mr. Wu, have you taken on another new artist? And another handsome guy."

“There’s no way around it, President Chang has always valued capable agents,” Wu Lin paused, then looked at the phone still in Sally’s hand, which was on a call, and said meaningfully, “Both of you are well-known in the industry for managing people, and you must be highly valued at Huansheng Entertainment, right? Hmm, let me think, which A-list artists are you managing right now?”

After saying this, Wu Lin deliberately made an exaggerated expression and slapped his thigh: "Oh dear! Look at my memory. This is the downside of getting old. I even forgot that neither of you currently manages any top-tier artists. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm really sorry. Just pretend I didn't say these things, lest others think that I, Wu Lin, am deliberately sowing discord and plotting to poach your artists."

Sally didn't feel that she was being treated badly at the company because of Wu Lin's words. On the contrary, she knew very well that although she only had Rong Yu under her management, this artist received enough attention from Yin Chengjue, and Rong Yu's own strength was enough to live up to that attention. Therefore, she was not worried about Rong Yu's future.

She could tell that Rong Yu's path to stardom was long and arduous.

And she will be the guide leading him to the tower.

Li Qiao, needless to say, although she is not currently managing any top-tier artists, has just taken on the task of training a boy band, and she herself submitted the plan. In addition, Yin Chengjue fully supports her training plan, so she is currently full of enthusiasm. How could she be swayed by Wu Lin's few words?

The two women, far from being provoked, covered their mouths and laughed in unison, laughing so hard that the table shook.

The boy who was being led by Wu Lin looked around timidly, clearly not understanding why they could still laugh amidst the tense atmosphere between them.

At this moment, the boy, who was coming into contact with this circle for the first time, seemed somewhat apprehensive and at a loss.

“Uncle Wu, you should just enjoy playing with your kids. Don’t make a fool of yourself here.” Sally waved her hand, clearly not wanting to waste any more time with Wu Lin. “Whether or not you’re on Star Journey, I think with your brain, you don’t need to think about it much, so we don’t need to discuss the specifics. I checked the schedule, and Star Journey will have auditions next week, followed by the main auditions the week after that. The auditions are to weed out some nobodies, and the main auditions will be when the show officially starts recording. I hope your artists can make time then.”

Wu Lin chuckled and said, "There's no need for Sister Sally to worry about that. We have our own arrangements." With that, Wu Lin left with the new artist.

GCD boy band naturally doesn't need to worry about the auditions, after all, their popularity speaks for itself, and the show will definitely pass them even if it's for ratings. But it's different for the boy band under Li Qiao's command. They have only released a few singles and filmed a few music videos so far. They have some popularity because they appeared in "Ghost Trail", but it's not high. They will need to put in some effort in the auditions.

“We could negotiate with the organizers to record the audition videos for the BQL boy group and have our PR team promote them online,” Yin Chengjue suggested.

BQL is actually an abbreviation of the pinyin initials of ice cream. Li Qiao's reason for naming the boy group this is very simple - sweet little boy, cool and refreshing ice cream, sweeter than first love.

"After passing the audition, what kind of program do we still need to prepare? This is also what I'm worried about," Li Qiaochou said. "The main reason is that the organizers of the Star Journey have done a very good job of keeping things confidential. I still haven't been able to get their program's competition details."

"Isn't a high level of secrecy a good thing? It's more challenging and fairer, of course, provided they can maintain it." After saying that, Yin Chengjue was still a little worried, so he asked someone to check the director and organizer of the Star Journey program.

Yin Chengjue spent a lot of effort, but the conclusion he reached surprised him.

"Xi Bei? Are you sure it's not just a coincidence of names?" Yin Chengjue asked.

Assistant Guan adjusted his glasses and nodded with certainty: "It is indeed him. Recently, Donghuang Qingyan established an independent studio and has recruited some young artists, clearly indicating a transformation. Xi Bei is also often by his side; the two are almost inseparable. It's quite..."

Assistant Guan felt he had a vague idea of ​​the reason: "As for their two sons, Xi Bei doesn't take them with him as often because they started boarding school this year."

This means that the son has been given freedom, the parents are free, and they're inseparable no matter where they go.

First, they established an independent studio, recruited artists, gradually expanded, and finally became a listed company, directly transforming from artists into shareholders.

Yin Chengjue could almost see the future career path of Donghuang Qingyan.

This is a man known as the pinnacle of good looks in the entertainment industry, and he could break through that pinnacle at any time. Time seems to have left almost no trace on him, as if he has taken some kind of anti-aging drug.

Of course, none of this mattered to Yin Chengjue; what he was more concerned about right now was—

"The organizer's name is Xi Bei, which means this is his personal investment?"

Assistant Guan: "It should be with Donghuang Qingyan, but there's not much difference, because... Donghuang Qingyan is one of the judges of the Star Journey program, and they've obviously gone all out this time. In addition to Donghuang Qingyan, the other four judges are Qi Yaoming, a well-known composer in the industry; Liu Xing, a dancer who has won various gold awards; Yu Xiaoyu, a singer-songwriter who has been in the industry for more than ten years and has many loyal fans; and Qin Xuan, a popular singer."

Qi Yaoming has a lot of haters because he is not good at speaking, and his low emotional intelligence has become well-known. However, his strength is indeed outstanding. Every work he produces is amazing. As a result, many people describe his personality as straightforward.

Liu Xing is indeed eloquent, but she talks too much, which often leads to mistakes. She frequently makes mistakes and inadvertently offends others, attracting a lot of haters. As a result, she is someone who is frequently criticized and trending on social media.

Yu Xiaoyu has a pretty good reputation. Among these judges, she is the second most popular singer-songwriter after Donghuang Qingyan. She often participates in variety shows and lifestyle programs, and is frequently in the public eye. Recently, she has also started to devote herself to TV dramas, but she is filming some domineering CEO romance dramas. After watching the first two episodes, the audience was turned off by her exaggerated acting skills and the various greasy lines of the male lead who plays the CEO.

Because of this, her once clean and innocent reputation has been tarnished. Recently, some people have been pessimistic about her acting career, telling her to stick to singing and composing and not to get involved in acting, lest she ruin both the show and herself.

Qin Xuan was the champion who emerged from a competition to become the King of Chinese Singers five years ago.

Although it was the first time that competition had been held, the quality was very high. Many ordinary singers from various places were invited. The auditions were also recorded, which selected many talented contestants. When they entered the official competition, almost every song was wonderful. Those who remained after the official recording and selection process created the myth that all the songs sung by the contestants entered the "Yinlu" APP's hit song playlist in the next competition!

Needless to say, the elites selected after the third round of screening were so outstanding that the viewers who followed the singing competition were reluctant to see any of them eliminated. They even wrote a joint letter asking the show to give each of them a championship.

Of course, the program did not change its rules because of the joint letter, but continued to screen the contestants layer by layer. Among the talented singers, Qin Xuan was selected, and Qin Xuan became the undisputed god of song in the music scene at the moment he won the crown.

However, haters are truly ubiquitous. So, even though Qin Xuan's talent is undeniable, haters still seized on his androgynous appearance and kept dissing him as a transvestite. In addition, Qin Xuan's singing voice can be used to cross-dress, singing both deep, magnetic male voices and ethereal, melodious female voices, which makes haters mindlessly chase after him and call him a transvestite for many years.

Of course, these haters will also be criticized by Qin Xuan's fans, and the two sides often argue about these things and make it to the top of the trending searches.

In short, it is no exaggeration to say that these five judges, including Donghuang Qingyan, can be called five great gods.
