Chapter 73
Tan Li was unwilling to leave the chair. Seeing this, Tong Jing took the initiative to step forward.
"Let's wait until the performance is over. After
all, everyone is busy now." Tong Jing was very tactful. "The boss asked me to book a restaurant for everyone in advance. After this busy period, I will give them a good treat." When she said this, everyone felt that the big investor was not only rich, but also considerate of the hard work of the staff. Their good impression of her rose.
Tan Li just smiled.
She actually didn't mind that she was a lazy person in the late stage of cancer in everyone's mind. It was just that her assistant seemed to be unable to stand it and would always intentionally or unintentionally shape her image outside.
Tan Li was of course very tolerant of these young people, so she let her be.
After greeting Tan Li, the producer and the chief director also hurried to proceed with the next performance process. Tan Li sat alone in the VIP seat. Looking down, he could see the flashlights of various colors flashing like neon lights.
Tong Jing didn't even need to wait for Tan Li to ask, and went straight to explain, "Idols basically have their own exclusive support colors, and outsiders can also tell who has more fans from the color of the flashlights."
Of course, "From Today Idol" has not officially started to eliminate people, so it is possible that some people share a support color.
And some of the obscure may not even have an official support color, just waiting to be discovered by fans before making a decision.
With only two episodes of the show aired, those who can have fans bring flashlights with corresponding support colors to support are mostly those who have signed with some brokerage companies and have appeared on screen to a certain extent before.
"Hmm..." Tan Li asked as if she was not expecting anything, "What is Tan Xinman's representative color?"
Tong Jing: "The second young lady said that she hopes it is white."
"White?" Tan Li looked around.
Good guy, there is not a single one.
Tan Li thought for a while, "Well, you go get me a white flashlight."
Although she felt that Tan Xinman used to be cautious and annoying, and now she is chattering and annoying, she is still an excellent employee who once made money for her, and now she calls her sister, so she, the former boss and current sister, should just do some superficial work.
Tong Jing was well prepared. As soon as Tan Li finished speaking, she took out a beautifully crafted crown-shaped flashlight from her bag, "Boss, the second lady doesn't have any official peripherals for the time being, so you have to make do with it for now."
Tan Li looked at the flashlight handed over and fell silent.
She now felt that being her life assistant was a bit of a waste of talent for Tong Jing.
"What's wrong?" Tong Jing saw that Tan Li's face was not right, and Xiao Di immediately raised it.
Did she not do something well enough? Did she not do something well enough?
Seeing that she was nervous, Tan Li patted her shoulder to comfort her, "I'll give you a raise when you go back."
This excellent and versatile assistant who always thinks ahead of her must get a raise!
Tong Jing's breath suddenly relaxed, and she said calmly, "Thank you, boss."
After all, for Tong Jing, Tan Li's occasional salary increase was already a regular item. She was no longer the little girl who had never seen the world. She couldn't be surprised every time the boss gave her a salary increase, right?
Tan Li was so impressive as a boss, and she couldn't be too petty as a life assistant.
While the two were chatting, the stage suddenly dimmed.
As all the lights gathered on the stage, the third performance of "From Today Idol" officially began.
Tan Xinman's team was relatively far behind, and at the beginning, the teams of several popular contestants were performing.
Tan Li was not interested at first, but as she watched, she didn't know whether it was the gorgeous lights on the stage that touched her or the enthusiasm on the scene that touched her, Tan Li actually found some interest.
Just...
a group of young, beautiful, lively and cute girls jumping around is so cute?
No matter how well the girls on the stage danced or sang, almost every one of them showed the most brilliant smile.
The flashlights in the hands of the audience and the changing lights on the stage were all reflected in their eyes, showing layers of brilliance.
An indescribable vitality and freshness came over her.
Tan Li blinked. She didn't feel anything special when she watched it on TV before, but she didn't expect the feeling on the scene to be so different.
The emphasis of the sound hit her heart, causing her calm heart to beat slightly faster.
At this moment, the team that Tan Xinman was in came on stage.
Tan Xinman did not stand in the C position, but in a relatively inconspicuous position at the back.
At first glance, she was the only one who was neither nervous nor expectant.
Tan Xinman stood very straight, and her casualness could not hide her dignity. Her eyes were calm, and she looked detached, not happy with things or sad with herself.
It's really out of place.
Tan Li thought.
Suddenly, Tan Xinman raised her head.
Her eyes were purposefully directed towards the corner where Tan Li was.
However, Tan Li's seat was a VIP seat, and there was no light. From Tan Xinman's perspective, she could only see a dark area and nothing.
Tan Li thought about it, picked up the white flashlight at hand, and waved it casually.
Although she didn't tell Tan Xinman that she was coming, perhaps the producer or the chief director would tell Tan Xinman that she was coming.
Tan Xinman's calm eyes suddenly lit up.
It was as if stars were thrown into a calm lake.
Tan Li saw Tan Xinman take a deep breath when no one was paying attention. In an instant, she, who was originally incompatible with everyone, became incompatible in another sense.
She seemed to start glowing.
The music sounded. It was a lively and cheerful song, but there was no catchy chorus, and there was no point that could ignite the whole audience.
The dance moves and formation changes were relatively simple, but at the same time, it also resulted in a weak viewing experience.
In fact, when Group F came on stage, many of the audience sat down. In their view, this was just a program for the audience to take a break during the halftime, and it was not taken seriously from the beginning. Some people even took this time to go to the toilet.
But at this moment, the audience who were just looking at the stage suddenly found that their sight seemed to be caught by one of them.
Although the dance moves were simple, she was very powerful. The cheap performance clothes looked expensive on her. The smile when she was standing still was even brighter and touched people's hearts.
When she changed her position, she even made a finger shooting movement in one direction, which instantly knocked down the hearts of the audience.
Tan Li was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
She was sure that Tan Xinman should not be able to see her from that position.
But Tan Xinman seemed to see through the layers of darkness and sent the starlight on the stage to her.
Her every frown and smile mobilized the emotions of the audience.
But all this was just because she saw the scattered white light coming from the VIP seats where Tan Li was.
When the song and dance performance entered the second half, many people who had sat down at the beginning stood up again, and the colorful flashlights in their hands swayed with the song. Tan Xinman pointed the direction of the fans countless times, and many audience members followed Tan Xinman with starry eyes.
They just wanted to find out who this treasure sister they had always ignored was!
The song ended.
The host came on stage and conducted a live interview with the contestants.
The director team did not have much time left for Group F. According to the original script, it only gave the C position and a few slightly popular guests.
But just 3 minutes into the dance, the director team gave an instruction to the host and photographer's earphones -
give the camera to Tan Xinman.
The director team could not predict the reaction on the Internet, but as insiders, they clearly saw the starlight thriving in Tan Xinman's performance just now.
In addition...
this is the sister of a big investor, so giving her more shots is not really an excessive behavior.
When Tan Xinman took the microphone, her breathing had not yet completely returned to normal.
She was sweating lightly, and on the stage, together with the sequins at the corners of her eyes, it reflected a bright light.
She took a breath, trying not to let her voice be affected by her beating breath.
"I said I would give you the best stage." Tan Xinman smiled towards Tan Li and made a heart shape with her hands, "Did I do it?"
Tan Li frowned and shook her head and said in one breath: It's just barely okay.
The audience in the stage didn't know that Tan Xinman was talking to Tan Li, and thought she was asking them. They couldn't help but say in unison, "I did it--"
To this, Tan Xinman just smiled calmly.
Before, Tan Li didn't come, and she suspected that her method wouldn't work. Fortunately, she saw through Tan Li's nature of being honest but saying one thing.
Tan Xinman waved in the direction of Tan Li and shouted, "I will do my best!"
"Ahhhhhhh--" Another round of fans screamed under the stage.
Tan Li was dissatisfied, but she still told Tong Jing, "Have you prepared all the support for Tan Xinman?"
"All ready." Tong Jing replied.
Tan Li thought for a moment, "One more thing, she is not doing well, I don't know if she can make it to the end, don't embarrass me when I am still here."
Tong Jing naturally agreed.
When the repo of the third performance was posted online, Tan Xinman's personal support was also posted at the same time.
Posters, coffee trucks, flower walls, these are just a small matter. There are
also subway ads, drone performances, fireworks shows, there is nothing that Tan Xinman's fans can't do, only things that the public can't think of.
Tan Xinman naturally has what others have, and she also has what others don't have.
She is a young contestant who hasn't even secured a debut spot, but she can be seen everywhere overnight.
It's a way of supporting that doesn't care about the life or death of the main character.
And "Idols from Today" has also become popular in this strange way.
How could the program team let go of Tan Xinman's popularity at this time? After the third performance, after double confirmation from Tan Li and Tan Xinman, she was quickly transferred to Group A.
Before the adjustment, the program team clearly stated the pros and cons to Tan Xinman.
She, a member of Group F, soared into Group A, and her personal support overwhelmed everyone else, so I'm afraid she will be subject to more scrutiny.
If virtue does not match the position, the higher you stand, the harder you will fall.
But Tan Xinman was fearless.
Tan Li was the best, and as a younger sister, she must be the best too.
She would follow the agreement and bring the most beautiful starlight to Tan Li. Even if it was only a little bit, she would try her best to fill Tan Li's heart with glory.
Sure enough, as the program team expected, the direction of the network suddenly changed one day.
