Ying Zijin, the former big man, woke up and became the youngest daughter of the Ying family who had been missing for 15 years, and decisively adopted a child to replace her.
After returning, ...
Chapter 350 This is our sugar daddy! [3rd update]
Chen Li is an agent at Tianxing Entertainment, and she once managed an international film star.
However, after this international film star terminated his contract with Tianxing Entertainment, Chen Li no longer had any leading artists under her management. The most successful one was only a second-tier star, and the company once fell to its lowest point.
Until this year, Chen Li mentored Ye Xi.
After filming "Pink Makeup Spy Shadow", Ye Xi and Shang Yaozhi became an instant hit and rose to become popular female celebrities with countless fans.
Chen Li's status at Tianxing Entertainment has naturally risen, and many artists want to sign with her.
Ye Xi is currently very popular and receives numerous offers, so Chen Li doesn't need to worry about her at all.
She selected several newcomers and sent them to participate in "Youth 202".
As early as when the auditions for "Youth 202" began, Chen Li had already noticed Yun and Yue.
There are many beauties in the entertainment industry, many of whom are prettier than Yun Heyue.
However, there are indeed fewer and fewer talented young people these days.
Shang Yaozhi is a special case.
Chen Li decisively contacted Yun Heyue to sign her.
She was rejected several times.
A promising talent cannot be signed under one's own management, and Chen Li also does not allow Yun Heyue to join the rival company.
Otherwise, with Yun and Yue's talent, they would definitely become the new top stars in the entertainment industry if they debuted.
While she still has the chance, she can suppress Yun and Yue.
With five minutes left before the end of the singing audition, Chen Li told one of the music mentors that she would use up the time originally reserved for Yun and Yue.
The music tutor had a deep friendship with her, so Yun and Yue's singing part would only get zero points.
Even if Yunheyue gets a perfect score in dancing, it still can't compare to the contestants she brought.
She wanted to oppress Yun and Yue, driving them to a dead end.
In this way, either Yun and Yue have no choice but to sign a contract with her, or they have to get out of the entertainment industry and forget about singing or dancing.
Yun Heyue ignored Chen Li and took out her phone to type a message for Ying Zijin.
Sister, it's okay.
They're all terrible; I could easily rank in the top ten just by dancing.
Ying Zijin remained silent for a moment.
This reminded her of Wen Tinglan's comment that the children in the gifted class were stupid.
"First place is yours, it's yours." Ying Zijing opened WeChat and sent a message to her female secretary.
After sending the message, she sat down and said casually, "Wait a while, I'll eat something."
She promised Yu Xuesheng she would take care of Yun and Yue, and she would help them to the end.
Yun and Yue were very obedient and sat down with her.
Seeing this, Chen Li walked over.
She didn't take Ying Zijing seriously at all; she was just an assistant.
"Yun Heyue, as a senior in the entertainment industry, I advise you to behave yourself." Chen Li smiled. "Signing a contract is just a matter of a name. You don't even have a company. Do you really think you can debut in the end?"
Talent shows are all about competition among capital entities.
Yun and Yue ignored Chen Li; she was playing a matching game online with Ying Zijin.
Chen Li frowned, displeased. Just as she was about to speak, the hall door was suddenly pushed open.
A roar startled the players waiting outside the arena, sounding somewhat exasperated.
"Who took up someone else's interview time? Huh? Get out here right now! Do you think this is your private property? Hurry up! Get out here! Don't make me say it again!"
Chen Li's smile froze. She looked up abruptly, her expression changing: "Producer Li?"
Producer Li didn't even glance at Chen Li before rushing to the recording studio door and kicking it open once again.
He pointed at the contestants still inside and, in front of everyone, launched into a tirade: "Do you think you're God? Everyone has to fawn over you? Taking up other people's time? What are you?!"
The contestants were completely overwhelmed by the criticism.
Even the music mentor who had a deal with Chen Li looked pale.
After finishing his rant, Producer Li was still not satisfied. He slammed the folder in his hand down heavily: "You want screen time, huh? Everything will be based on points. Maliciously taking up other people's time will result in a 50% deduction in points!"
Producer Li was also extremely apprehensive.
Whether it's this interview or future performance voting, the major companies will manipulate it.
Without powerful connections, you'll be suppressed; this is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.
Producer Li didn't take the interview seriously, but a phone call from Chuguang Media completely overwhelmed him.
The original words were as follows—
"The production team is really arrogant. They can't even protect fairness and the interests of the contestants. What's the point of holding the show? They should just stop."
Chuguang Media is the largest investor this time, even surpassing Tianxing Entertainment, one of the organizers.
This is a major sponsor!
What if someone gets upset and withdraws their investment?
After receiving the call, Producer Li rushed over from his office.
As for Chen Li?
Can it compare to the big spenders?
Producer Li finally caught his breath and turned around: "Next contestant, you go in. We'll extend your time, so don't feel pressured."
Chen Li's face turned pale.
Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, looking languid, and slightly raised her chin, indicating to Yun and Yue that they could do as they pleased.
Yun and Yue then went inside.
The contestant came out of the recording studio looking disheveled.
Chen Li was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
But she was facing the executive producer and had no choice but to swallow her anger.
The contestant, head bowed, said, "Sister Li, I'm sorry."
"He's lucky." Chen Li's chest heaved heavily as she sneered. "It just so happens that the executive producer came today, which saved Yun Heyue once. I'd like to see if he'll have the same good luck next time."
She's been in the entertainment industry for over a decade; she has plenty of methods and skills that Yun and Yue can't match.
"Go to the dance studio." Chen Li picked up her bag and said coldly, "You still have to dance later, so perform well. The company won't let the production team cut your screen time."
**
Yun and Yue quickly finished recording.
She is usually quiet, but her voice is extremely powerful and can easily capture everyone's attention.
Unsurprisingly, she got the only perfect score.
Dance is another example.
After Yun and Yue finished their dance, they looked completely at ease, as if it were effortless.
She bowed to the instructors and then walked out of the dance studio.
The two mentors talked to each other.
"Yun Heyue's waist is so flexible." The female instructor couldn't help but exclaim. "Very few boys can do what he does. I'm starting to wonder if he's even a girl."
“How could that be?” The male mentor shook his head. “If he were a girl, how would he have been selected? But his skills are indeed too strong. His singing and dancing abilities are unmatched. The other trainees really can’t compare to him.”
"When I saw the initial evaluation, I thought he could get the first A."
The female mentor agreed: "However, he also has a lot of shortcomings. His facial expression management is terrible; he almost never smiles."
The two mentors just chatted casually, and no one knows what the final outcome will be.
**
Ying Zijin was waiting outside.
The recording of this interview was kept confidential and could only be viewed by the mentors, producers, directors, and other management personnel.
Neither the agents nor the contestants will disclose this information to them.
But as the sugar daddy, Ying Zijing easily got the video recording from the dance studio from the female secretary and watched Yun Heyue's dance.
She still really enjoys looking at pretty girls; it's pleasing to the eye.
After Yun and Yue washed their hands, they handed the phone to her.
Ying Zijing looked down.
The above are two sentences.
Sister, I heard from Brother Xuesheng that you like money.
"I can help you make money. Someone asked me to sing, and I can sell one song for ten thousand yuan."
Then, Yun and Yue typed another line of text.
All I need are food and clothes.
Yun and Yue were still wearing their dance costumes and applying cool-toned eyeshadow.
Ying Zijing noticed that there were many scars on her wrists, large and small.
Although it was covered with foundation, it was still noticeable upon close inspection.
It's not hard to imagine how many times she had been abused before.
"No need." Ying Zijing shook her head slightly and chuckled, "I don't lack money."
She is certainly not short of money now, but she still enjoys the experience of making money.
Anyway, there are always idiots on the NOK forum who send her money.
Especially that one that offered a five million yuan bounty for a translation task.
She didn't know who was so foolish and rich, and she wasn't interested in finding out.
"Let's go." Ying Zijin smoothed her sleeves and put on her hat.
She let Yun and Yue go first, and she followed behind.
After all, she's an assistant now.
Sometimes, this kind of role-playing can be quite interesting.
Behind her, in the hall, Chen Li stood there, her expression grim.
She tried to stop them once, but Yun and Yue still got perfect scores.
The second place was more than forty points behind Yun Heyue, which shows just how terrifying Yun Heyue's singing and dancing abilities are.
But Chen Li really couldn't understand why Producer Li would suddenly come over, and even embarrass her like that.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
I wasn't originally planning to update three times a day, but suddenly it got featured, and then the editor pulled it back. I think they wanted to fail me (?).
Babies, the novel "Emperor Ying" might be published. The good thing is that you can collect it and there are related merchandise. However, some settings and backgrounds will be significantly changed, and some overly abstract elements will be cut. Are you okay with that? I don't know how to change it yet, and I don't want to change it—it's too tiring! lol
Don't worry about the online serialization; everything will be the same, and the pace will remain the same. This is just a physical book.
