Synopsis: Su Xuan owns an idol management company that houses several Shan Hai monsters. However, with no work invitations, the entire company, from the boss to the employees, has become 'salte...
Chapter 26
The first stage of "Idols' Counterattack" will also be broadcast live to the public - for the sake of traffic, the live broadcast time is set in the evening, when everyone has finished their meal and starts to rest, and it will be completed in three days.
As for the edited versions, they will all be updated one after another in a month.
The regular customers of the night snack stall were all very concerned about Wen Yu's progress, so Su Xuan thought for a moment and immediately made a decision to start a live projection broadcast in the night snack stall!
On the first night, the night snack stall was packed with customers.
Lao Li and his friends arrived early and happily occupied the best seats for viewing the movie.
Chen Ying and another vocal teacher have been stuck in the company since they joined. Today, Su Xuan invited them over, hoping that they can better integrate into the company's atmosphere.
Shen Ying sticks to her own style, wearing heavy makeup and exquisite clothes as always.
When he first walked into the barbecue stall, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, there were many customers and some people would look at him strangely. And the place where he was seated was next to a group of old men.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Ying tensed up.
Well, to be honest, uncles are the group he is least able to deal with...
As a result, what he feared came true. The old men really noticed him at a glance and started looking him up and down.
Shen Ying was fully prepared, ready to endure the social education from the older men. Unexpectedly, after the older men had finished gazing at him, they actually touched their chins and exclaimed in amazement, "Hey, young man, you've put on your makeup really well!"
This was a development that Shen Ying had never expected, and he was stunned.
Qi Hanyu just happened to come over and quickly introduced her to Lao Li and the others, "This is Sister Yu's dance teacher. She's a great dancer!"
When Lao Li and the others heard this, they looked at Chen Ying with even more loving eyes: "I see, that's how it is. No wonder I thought this guy was good when I first saw him. With his guidance, Xiaoyu will definitely debut in the center position! By the way, young man, how do you do your makeup? Can you help us with ours? We act opposite Han Yu every day, so it's time for us to improve and enhance our acting skills! We have to keep up with the costumes and makeup!"
Shen Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
He knew about acting, but he didn't expect that they were already moving towards professionalism?
He couldn't help laughing and said, "You can put on makeup, but you definitely can't do the makeup like me, you have to follow the role..."
Old Li: "Yeah, that's right! Professionals are the best! Actually, as a grandpa, I want to try out many different roles, but the costumes and makeup have to match them to make them look effective. I want to play an opera singer, a homeless person, an Olympic champion, a wealthy woman..."
Qi Hanyu and Shen Ying: “?” It seems like something weird has sneaked in, Grandpa!
While everyone was chatting enthusiastically about "professionalization of acting", movie star Fu Huanyu secretly brought a mysterious friend to join in the fun.
Su Xuan directly sent the Bifang over to "accompany the guests". Fu Huanyu smiled at Su Xuan very friendly and said, "I'm so busy today, is it okay to lend me the Bifang?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I called someone to help today. You guys can sit in the corner." Su Xuan waved her little hand with a very cunning expression, feeling like a brothel madam.
How can they not serve the movie emperor well? So, they can only sacrifice Bifang!
Fu Huanyu was also very gentlemanly. Even after hearing what Su Xuan said, he still lowered his head to seek Bifang's opinion: "Then go sit over there for a while?"
Since the two exchanged contact information, Fu Huanyu would take the initiative to send messages to Bifang from time to time.
Sometimes we talk about work, sometimes we just talk about daily life.
Even someone as noble as Fu Huanyu would often complain. Bifang felt it was magical, and the sense of distance between them seemed to be invisibly eliminated by this man.
Now, Bifang has become accustomed to interacting with this man.
Therefore, upon hearing this, he just nodded obediently, and then looked at the elder next to Fu Huanyu in confusion.
Fu Huanyu noticed his gaze and introduced him, "This is my friend, a director. He's been free lately, so I brought him here to sit with you."
After a pause, he leaned close to Bifang's ear and chuckled, "He has a movie that's about to start shooting and he's short of an actor, so he's looking for someone everywhere."
As he spoke, warm breath sprayed on Bifang's ears.
Bifang shook his ears sensitively and felt his ears getting hot for no reason.
He looked at Fu Huanyu and said hesitantly: "You..."
Fu Huanyu smiled.
Bifang instantly understood that Fu Huanyu was actively providing them with resources and wanted to help them.
No matter how slow he was, Bifang's heart couldn't help but be touched at this moment.
After all, if Fu Huanyu didn't really want to be friends with them, there would be no need for him to go to such lengths even if he had saved their life once.
He whispered, "Thank you."
A leaf drifted slowly over Bifang's head. Fu Huanyu casually plucked it off and said gently, "No need to thank me so early. It depends on whether Director Xie has someone he likes. But... he just happens to be looking for someone very good-looking this time."
As soon as Fu Huanyu finished speaking, Bifang noticed that Director Xie's gaze was fixed in a certain direction, with a look of amazement on his face.
That look was like seeing a god on earth.
He immediately followed the director's gaze.
Not far away, Zong Ning, who was dragged here by Su Xuan to help, had a sour face.
Su Xuan blabbered, "We've been running this late-night snack stall for so long, and you and Dad are the only ones who haven't come yet. How can that be justified? Comrade Zong Ning, you need to learn how to integrate into the group!"
Zong Ning immediately narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about Lu Taoren?"
Su Xuan was very clever: "Haha, you want to ask why I only drag you and not Dad, right? Look, isn't he here?"
Su Xuan pointed forward.
Zong Ning looked in the direction he was looking and froze.
...Lu Tao really came.
But who is the young man next to him?
She looks good, but her expression looks a bit unserious. She is always smiling and even puts her arm around Lu Tao.
Zong Ning looked at him suspiciously.
Su Xuan whispered, "You weren't here the last time he came to the company. This is the current boss of A Shi Media, his name is Yuan Que."
Zong Ning was stunned. "The boss of A-Shi Media? When did Lu Tao get to know such a person?"
Su Xuan chuckled and said, "You're surprised too early. Take a closer look. Do you see anything?"
Zong Ning raised his eyebrows and continued to look at the two of them.
Lu Tao waved at the two of them innocently, then took Yuan Que to sit in a corner and started looking at the menu.
Zong Ning was just about to ask what was there to see...
Yuan Que was seen holding his chin with his hand, staring at Lu Tao's profile, staring and staring... then he smiled and leaned over and gave him a kiss!
Zong Ning: “!”
He was struck by lightning.
Su Xuan was so happy: "You never thought about it? Our dad is so lucky!"
Zong Ning was so shocked that he was speechless!
…
At exactly eight o'clock, all the seats at the night snack stalls were full, and the live broadcast officially began.
Su Xuan and Zong Ning were busy preparing the barbecue. In the live video, the trainees and mentors had all entered the venue and started their first stage performance.
…
Yan Xiaoxiao is a freshman. It is summer vacation now. Tonight, she secretly brought her best friend to the Shanhai BBQ stall and is currently sitting in a great spot to watch the movie.
The reason why it is called "secretly" is because she is a black fan of Shanhai Entertainment.
That's right! Even though Shanhai Entertainment has only been popular for a short time, she's already a hater because she thinks the company is too good at marketing. She thinks Wen Yu is on this season of "Love Strong," and they're definitely going to find ways to attract attention and steal the spotlight from her main character!
Therefore, Yan Xiaoxiao made up her mind. She would go deep into the enemy camp. If Shanhai Entertainment did anything outrageous, she would take pictures of the evidence and post them online to ruin their reputation!
At this moment, Yan Xiaoxiao was wearing a black mask and secretly holding a small camera in her hand. She was vigilantly looking left and right to observe the enemy situation.
Very good, the young boss and the cold-faced handsome guy are to their northwest, and they are both very busy.
The charlatan brother was right in front of them, discussing with a group of men with an average age of 55 and a man...discussing beauty products???
Yan Xiaoxiao looked a little disheveled.
In addition, the big boss of Shanhai Entertainment was behind them, having an affair with a handsome guy, and they had been sticking around for a long time!
My friend was also peeking over there, and at this moment he couldn't help but come over and scream softly: "Ahhh, handsome guy, kiss your uncle!"
Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head and stretched her neck to ask anxiously: "What? What? I didn't see anything!"
Friend: "Their hands are all down there, believe it or not, they are touching each other!"
Yan Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "Damn it, it's too dark and I can't see clearly!"
Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked after saying this. No! She wasn't here to chase the CP, she was here to investigate the enemy! She almost got taken away!
She immediately restrained herself, took a deep breath, and scanned the entire barbecue stall with her sharp eyes.
Brother Bifang was in the corner, staying with two people. Yan Xiaoxiao didn’t know who those two people were. She just vaguely felt that one of them looked a little like the movie star Fu Huanyu... But it must be her illusion. There were so many people here today, how could the movie star come over?
And that handsome brother named Xia Yan, I didn’t see him today, I wonder where he went.
Yan Xiaoxiao stroked the beautiful little white cat squatting at their table with a disappointed look and sighed.
...No, that's not right! She's not here to chase after her handsome brother, she's here to scout out the enemy!
Cat Xia Yan shuddered, turned his head and looked at the girl who was petting him, with a confused look on his face.
At this time, the first group of contestants began their initial stage performance.
The order is arranged in advance by the program team, and they usually won’t give the audience a big surprise right at the start. Therefore, the first contestants to go on stage are either mediocre or comedians.
The little idol that Yan Xiaoxiao is a fan of is the contestant in the first group.
As soon as the little idol appeared, Yan Xiaoxiao became nervous: "Here it comes."
Friends, please pay attention.
During the live broadcast, the first group of contestants consisted of four people, composed of trainees from two companies. The temporary team name was "XXX Girls", which was nothing new.
After the song started, the four girls separated, and the girl in the middle started singing first...
There were dozens of people in the night snack stall, and so many pairs of eyes were watching Yan Xiaoxiao's favorite idol together with her, making her heart beat fast.
Her idol is not very famous. He participated in another talent show before, but was eliminated in the first round.
But it was from that show that Yan Xiaoxiao remembered her.
The little idol is very cute with a little baby fat. His singing and dancing skills are average, but he works very hard.
She never gets upset when the teacher criticizes her, but always smiles and practices silently until the early morning after class.
After losing the game, everyone was crying, but she was the only one comforting her teammates. After that, she hid from the camera, went into the bathroom, and stayed there for half an hour before coming out.
After the first round, she returned to the company. She had no fame and no resources. If it were other idols, they might have tried their best to switch to the film and television industry, but she still often uploaded practice room videos on Weibo, and her dancing skills got better and better.
During the most painful time of Yan Xiaoxiao's senior year in high school, it was her little idol who supported her spirit and helped her get through the most difficult period.
At this moment, watching the little idol's powerful and flowing dance, Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was surging...
Then she saw her little idol open his mouth...
——Sang a rap???
Yan Xiaoxiao tilted her head and almost fell down!
My friend was shocked and asked, "Your idol is the rapper?"
Yan Xiao laughed and said anxiously, "No! I've never heard her sing rap before!"
As soon as her little idol started singing rap, people at the barbecue stall started laughing.
Because her idol sang very awkwardly, completely like a newcomer, Yan Xiaoxiao was her fan, and even she felt a little scalp tingling when she heard it...
She felt bad. Even if her idol's vocals were terrible, he wouldn't sing rap. Or was it that none of the four people wanted to rap, so in the end, the responsibility fell on her idol...
She even heard someone at the next table whisper, "This group really is a comedy character, right?"
"Hahaha, this rap song..."
Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.
No, her idol is really performing seriously, not just trying to attract attention...
Just then, a plate of barbecue was placed at their table. At the same time, a clear voice rang out, "Are you okay? This is obviously your first time rapping. It's good enough that you can sing like this. At least it's better than mine."
Yan Xiaoxiao was startled and looked up suddenly.
It’s Su Xuan, the boss of Shanhai Entertainment.
He was talking to the boys at the table next to them.
The boy at the next table heard this and laughed, "Boss, you're an amateur, how can you compare yourself with a professional?"
Su Xuan said seriously, "If they were so professional, they wouldn't need the guidance of the program team's mentors. They could just debut directly. You can't do that. If you make fun of Wen Yu when she comes on stage, I won't give you any discounts!"
"Hahaha, no, no!" The boys immediately waved their hands. "Hey, but this beauty probably had no choice but to take over this rap. She just sang a part, and it was obviously better than the rap."
"It can't be helped. Since there's rap in the song, someone has to take over," Su Xuan said sincerely after looking at the live video. "I think it's quite courageous to take on this challenge even though you know you can't sing well."
Su Xuan really felt so.
He felt that as a trainee, he still needed a lot of practice, so it was understandable if he did something wrong at the moment, as long as he was serious enough.
The little girl singing rap on the stage was very serious. She was listening to the rap instructor's criticism without being slacking off or crying right away. Instead, she listened attentively and nodded her head. It was obvious that she took it to heart.
She's a pretty good girl.
After Su Xuan finished speaking, he was about to leave when he suddenly felt a strong gaze. He looked down and was frightened.
——My goodness, the little girl at this table is looking at him with tears in her eyes!
Su Xuan was dumbfounded and asked in panic, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Woo, it's okay!" Yan Xiaoxiao looked up at Su Xuan, her eyes blurred with tears. She felt that Su Xuan was glowing at this moment... a glow like a god!
Su Xuan was somewhat at a loss, and could only comfort her in confusion: "It's okay, don't cry, just tell us if you have any problems. Um, do you like chicken wings? How about I give you a few skewers of grilled chicken wings?"
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
When you see a girl crying, your first reaction is to give her some grilled chicken wings?
Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head, wiped her tears, took a breath and smiled: "It's okay, thank you, little boss, you are such a kind person."
Su Xuan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted her head, then asked tentatively, "Are you a fan of this idol?"
Yan Xiaoxiao and her friends were stunned. They didn't expect Su Xuan to guess it so easily.
Yan Xiaoxiao was a little nervous for a moment, afraid that Su Xuan would see through her purpose of investigating the enemy situation.
Unexpectedly, Su Xuan immediately said, "Don't cry. Look, your idol didn't cry even when he was criticized. You fans should also be strong."
Yan Xiaoxiao broke down again. She really didn't expect Su Xuan to comfort her. She choked up and said, "Yeah, that's right. Being an idol is really hard."
Su Xuan also started talking seriously, "That's right. Unless they're naturally talented and lucky enough to become famous overnight, every idol has to go a long way to get ahead. If you fans aren't strong enough, how can you stay with them until the end? Look, idols should set an example for their fans, and your idol is setting a good example for you!"
Yan Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at the live video.
The girl facing the camera was just as she remembered, listening carefully to all the instructors' feedback without a trace of frustration or retreat.
She is so thin, not tall, and petite.
In Yan Xiaoxiao's heart, it was like a small mountain, steady and solid.
She is setting a good example for them.
Yan Xiaoxiao's tears suddenly flowed down like a waterfall.
Su Xuan: “…………”
Damn, did he say something wrong?!
"Sister! Sister, are you okay?!" He collapsed and quickly pulled a tissue from Qi Hanyu's table.
Her friends also quickly patted her on the back!
Yan Xiaoxiao cried until she choked and hiccuped: "Wuwuwu, that's right! I need to be strong, wuwuwu! Little boss, you are such a good person, wuwuwuwu!"
During the live broadcast, the rap instructor personally came on stage and taught the little idol a verse, telling him not to be shy and to sing it out boldly.
The little idol pursed his lips and smiled, then took a deep breath in front of everyone.
When she opened her lips again, she sang a line of lyrics with precise rhythm, which was quite powerful.
In front, Qi Hanyu subconsciously said, "Wow, that sounds good!"
As for the cat Xia Yan, who was squatting at the table with Yan Xiaoxiao and the others... In fact, he had been watching the performance inexplicably seriously since the very beginning, tilting his head left and right, his eyes shining.
At this moment, he suddenly...
"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow~ meow meow meow!"
Everyone was shocked.
Xia Yan shook his ears and sat up straight with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Yan Xiaoxiao and Su Xuan were both shocked!
Did this cat (Xia Yan) just rap?!
...Su Xuan came back to his senses, and said with a twitching mouth: "Look, your idol...is setting a good example."
Even cats can rap...
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned. After she came to her senses, she covered her mouth and burst out laughing!
…
After this experience, Yan Xiaoxiao completely changed her view of Shanle Hai.
You don’t know until you get to know him, and once you do, you’ll fall completely for him. Su Xuan, the boss of Shanhai Entertainment, is so gentle!
The charlatan brother sitting in front of them was also very straightforward. Later, he praised her little idol for singing well, which made Yan Xiaoxiao very excited.
And the little cat, the rap he just sang was also very good!
Later, when Wen Yu came on stage, wearing a fiery red long dress, she sang and danced, which directly amazed everyone present, including Yan Xiaoxiao!
Wen Yu is already beautiful, and with the embellishment of makeup, her beauty has become a weapon that can directly kill into everyone's heart!
And her dancing is also very good.
The right amount of strength, relaxed limbs, bold dance moves, and arrogant yet confident smile completely blew away the judges!
The rap instructor even covered his mouth, his face flushed red.
Yan Xiaoxiao grabbed her friend and screamed softly, "Ahhh, this is too sexy! I'm going to become a fan!"
The friend laughed and said, "Are you no longer scouting for the enemy?"
Yan Xiaoxiao: "What the hell is the investigation! They are all good people!"
After saying that, she excitedly posted on Weibo: "Today I went to the Shanhai Night Snack Stall for a meal and watched her first live broadcast. Our little idol is really outstanding! Although her rap skills are still lacking, with her personality, she will definitely work hard to make up for it immediately! Also, Sister Wenyu is so beautiful, so beautiful, I'm going to become a fan. Even a 189cm skirt can't hide her beauty!"
She is considered a big fan among their little idol’s fans, and as soon as this Weibo post came out, people quickly commented below.
"Seriously, don't you hate Wenyu?"
"Yes, our little idol is the best!"
"Did you really go to the Shanhai BBQ stall? Did you spy on the enemy? Hahaha!"
Yan Xiaoxiao: "Wow, wow, I was wrong. Sister is so beautiful, sister, fuck me! There's no enemy situation to investigate, I'm just too sleazy. Actually, Mr. Su and his friends are super nice! I just saw the little idol being criticized and cried. Mr. Su surprisingly realized that I was her fan very quickly and comforted me. I was so moved that I cried even harder!"
"Surprise, is Mr. Su such a nice person?"
"He didn't even kick you out? Go chase other idols at their barbecue stall? Hahahaha!"
"What did Mr. Su comfort me with? I'm curious!"
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "He said that idols are supposed to set an example for their fans, and our idol has set a good example for us. So no matter what setbacks our idols encounter in the future, we must be as strong as them and strive to be like them in life!"
*
Wenyu finally got the first A rating in the whole game and took the first position at the top of the pyramid.
She smiled confidently and ostentatiously, her legs crossed, her back leaning against the back of the crystal chair, as if this was the position she was born to be in.
And opposite her, countless pairs of eyes were looking at her.
There was the gritting Li Yunxiao, the determined Xu Moli, and others...
At the barbecue stall, looking at the warm fish in the live broadcast, Lu Tao felt relieved.
...They have finally officially opened as an entertainment company!
Congratulations, congratulations.
Yuan Que chuckled in his ear and said, "Not a bad start, Uncle Lu."
There were so many people at the barbecue stall, but the two of them sat very close to each other, as if they were separated from the surroundings into two different worlds.
This feeling made Lu Tao feel a little sweet in his heart, but he was an adult after all and knew his limits.
So he tried to hold it together, coughed lightly, and glanced at Yuan Que: "Well, this time it is indeed thanks to you."
He tried hard to be serious, but Yuan Que caught his glance and narrowed her eyes in a smile. She licked her lips and said, "Not really. With the popularity you guys had before, Uncle Lu, even if we didn't know each other, I would definitely have someone come to my door and invite you to the show."
"But if we had asked our employees to come to our house," Yuan Que said slowly, "Uncle Lu and I would never have met, right?"
Lu Tao frowned subconsciously.
This expression made Yuan Que smile happily.
Lu Tao realized that he was being teased. His face flushed, and he immediately put on a serious face and said in a low voice, "There are so many people around. Be serious."
Instead, Yuan Que reached out his hand and gently rubbed Lu Tao's lower lip with the tip of his thumb.
Lu Tao was startled. The old virgin who had lived for hundreds of years - although he was not a virgin anymore - was immediately frightened by him.
He quickly pulled Yuan Que's hand away, but Yuan Que held his hand instead and suddenly said, "Uncle Lu, let's go open the FANG?"
Lu Tao was stunned.
Yuan Que supported her chin with one hand and played with Lu Tao's fingers with the other. She suppressed her smile and said slowly, "It's been more than a month since that night. I can only date Uncle Lu and can't do anything else. I can't help it anymore."
Amidst the clamor of laughter and under the starry sky, he stared at Lu Tao intently and said, "I like Uncle Lu, and Uncle Lu likes me too, right?"
Yuan Que's unexpected topic made Lu Tao a little confused.
He opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his heart that he couldn't shake off.
The original sparrow moved closer.
They were in the corner and no one noticed them.
Yuan Que actually kissed his ear gently, her breath lingering in his ear, her voice slightly hoarse: "Uncle Lu?"
Lu Tao's Adam's apple rolled, and he instinctively wanted to push him away, but he couldn't.
Not only because Yuan Que is young and strong...
Because of him, I didn't push him away.
He is a monster, and his hands have endless power. Even if he wants to kill a human, it will only take a blink of an eye.
However, he couldn't push Yuan Que away.
Such hesitation, I am in a dilemma.
Yuan Que whispered, "Uncle Lu, what are you hesitating about?"
Lu Tao trembled a little. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What do you think?"
The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds.
Yuan Que suddenly smiled: "Because I never told you why I fell in love with you? If I tell you, will you admit that you like me?"
Lu Tao froze.
Yuan Que stared at him and said, "As long as I'm honest, Uncle Lu, you'll be honest too, right?"
Lu Tao moved his lips.
Yuan Que didn't give him any more chances to talk nonsense, and directly pulled him up and said, "Then let's go, Uncle Lu."
Lu Tao was a little panicked for a moment: "Original Sparrow!"
Yuan Que turned around and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, don't even think about escaping tonight."
Lu Tao was stunned.
However, at this moment, it was as if an electric current ran into his spine and reached his brain - his body was trembling.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
I want to walk, but I can't take a step.
I wanted to shake off Yuan Que's hand, but I didn't want to.
Lu Tao wondered, when did he become so hesitant and conflicted?
It's clear that he has always had a very clear direction on how he wants to live in this world.
What Su Xuan once said echoed in his mind.
"If you like it, just go for it. If you don't experience the feeling of love during your lifetime, wouldn't living for hundreds of years be boring?"
Lu Tao gave up and released all his strength, then smiled bitterly and said, "Are you a carnivore, kid?"
Yuan Que curled his lips: "Uncle Lu only found out today?"
"I'm a meat lover."
