Chapter 108 How good is your reputation?
At the end of November, the recording of "Who is the Murderer" was completed and the final episode will not be aired until the beginning of next month.
In the past two months, in addition to recording variety shows every Sunday and selling gay content with Yan Xun, Jiang Huai has been preparing his second solo album.
Jingming Media gave Jiang Huai great freedom, and the production team was confirmed by him personally before being finalized.
Liu Jing, the chief planner during the N1NE period, was promoted last year. It seems like a destined coincidence that she is still in charge of Jiang Huai's first official album.
Because it is a regular album, there are many details that need to be implemented. The overall workload is large and cumbersome, and only the preliminary preparations were completed in two months.
Jiang Huai has finalized a few non-main demo songs and roughly decided on the concept direction. As for the formal song selection and recording, MV shooting, album art design, publicity schedule arrangement... all of these still need to be polished slowly.
As the saying goes, seeds sown in spring will yield a harvest in autumn. "Before the Truth" ended a few days ago and received numerous praises with an average playback volume of nearly 80 million per episode. The trend remained stable after the end, and it seems that the long-tail effect is quite good.
The romantic drama "Love at This Time" which he finished filming with Shi Renran at the end of July has also been scheduled and is expected to be broadcast around New Year's Day at the beginning of next year.
I have worked really hard this year, Jiang Huai thought, and of course I have also worked hard to sell gay stories.
[When you are tired from work, you can sell gay stuff. When you are tired from selling gay stuff, you can go back to work.] Senior Niuma819 taught, [Then you can become a JAC perpetual motion machine!]
If it was just selling homosexuality, it would be easier, Jiang Huai sighed softly. "Love at this Time" is about to be broadcast, and the day after tomorrow, I will start recording the variety show schedule that has been arranged long ago.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
The variety show that was arranged in advance is called "Our Story". It doesn't have any fancy content. It is a simple indoor studio interview program.
The program process is very simple. Just like the name of the variety show, several guests continue to write and perform on the spot based on the story given by the host.
Generally speaking, the guests invited are actors who have dramas to appear in, and occasionally there will be idol groups to join in the fun. Everyone sells CPs together, and the fans eat sweets and have fun. It's such a joyful scene.
Logically speaking, such a conservative and boring variety show should not cause any controversy.
The problem lies with "Love at This Moment".
This crosstalk romance drama does not have a secondary CP, unlike "Leisurely Wandering in the World" when the three of them just finished recording the variety show with laughter.
After all, a straight line is not as stable as a triangle. When he thought about selling bg seriously with his former mentor Shi Renran...leaving aside the ethical issues, Jiang Huai trembled a few times when he recalled the way he lowered his head and was scolded under Yu Lan's vest that year.
Forget it, we should think about the problem in a positive way. Jiang Huai thought about it and thought that Shi Renran, the mentor, might have a bigger headache than him.
It was okay for the two of them to just stare at each other, at least he wasn't the only one suffering, which was somewhat comforting.
[You are making malicious assumptions about the teacher again.] 819 shook his head and said, [You have no respect for the teacher at all.]
[How can it be called malicious speculation?] Jiang Huai asked back, [Was it wrong for me to speculate that PD He deliberately asked me to be gay last time?]
Facts have proved that Jiang Huai's guess was correct, and Shi Renran was indeed more troubled than him.
Teacher-student love is something that should only be admired from afar and not touched upon, especially when you are the mentor, you'll want to raise your hands and surrender.
The thought of selling a relationship with her former student made Shi Renran feel so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
If someone is into it after it's sold, that's fine, at least it's a bit of a benefit. The problem is that she and Jiang Huai can't attract any true CP fans, and no one is into the teacher-student relationship after it's sold, and it also makes her look morally corrupt, ruining her reputation as a good mentor!
But it was unacceptable not to sell anything during the business period, so Shi Renran paced back and forth in the studio angrily.
Fortunately, Jiang Huai is handsome and a nice guy, so it’s not considered a work-related injury, she comforted herself.
With a ding-dong sound, the WeChat notification sound from the computer rang, and Shi Renran walked to the desk angrily to check.
It turned out to be a message from Yu Shuang, her former teammate during the girl group period: [My sister will also go to Our Story the day after tomorrow, please help me take care of her. ]
This is a rare visitor. Shi Renran flipped through the pages and confirmed that the last time he had sent a message to Yu Shuang was four years ago.
Who is her sister? She and her former teammate are just a small family. Shi Renran couldn't remember her for a while, so he opened Baidu to search.
Oh, Qu Miaoqing from Tang Meng. Ever since Shao Ling, who had worked with Jiang Huai in their group, finally won the first place after graduation, she also recorded "Brothers and Sisters" with Jiang Huai this year... Why is Jiang Huai everywhere?
Although she didn't know him at all, since Yu Shuang had asked her, she couldn't refuse, so she went ahead.
—Eh? No? The day after tomorrow? Our story?
Shi Renran rolled her beautiful eyes. Her agent next to her saw her expression and thought something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Shi Renran said briskly and confidently, and replied to Yu Shuang: [Don't worry, I will take care of your sister! I will definitely take good care of her! ]
Good sister, here I come! Jiang Huai, you work hard on yourself. I will find my sister to sell Ji first!
[Si Xi: Brother! I heard that you will be recording our story the day after tomorrow! ]
Si Xi rarely sent him private messages, and they basically chatted in the small group. For some reason, Jiang Huai had a bad feeling and replied cautiously: [? ]
【Si Xi: I’ll come too.】
【Si Xi: Are you a homosexual? 】
[Jiang Huai: I don’t sell homosexuality.]
[Si Xi:? Something’s wrong with you. What’s going on?]
What do you mean by "not right"... He made it sound like it was strange that he didn't sell homosexuality. Jiang Huai complained in his heart that Si Xi was judging others by himself. He was not the kind of person who would sell homosexuality if he had it, right? [I want to sell bg. ]
He went to be gay with Si Xi, what should Shi Renran do?
【Si Xi: My heart is broken, brother [crying]. 】
【Jiang Huai: Don’t pretend.】
Half an hour later, Jiang Huai looked at the new news and fell into deep thought.
【Master Renran: Jiang Huai, it’s like this… you can add some oil yourself, do you think it’s okay? 】
[The calmness of an old artist.] 819 was amazed, [You have so many talented people in this talent show, from mentors to students, how come there is no serious person?]
[Because serious people tend to be obscure, just like me in my previous life.] Jiang Huai said faintly, [No wonder Teacher Shi has a reputation of being purely commercial and emotionless, and whoever follows her will be unlucky... She is too cunning!] He is not that cunning!
[How good is your reputation? Jiang Taigong, a professional gay hooker. ]
Jiang Taigong said nothing, but clicked on another dialog box: [It's not impossible. ]
【Si Xi:? Peking Opera face-changing?】
【Jianghuai: Sichuan Opera face-changing. 】
【Si Xi: Good, good, good.】
November 30th, the day of recording of "Our Story".
The program would not start recording for more than an hour. Jiang Huai stood at the back door and took the takeaway that had been ordered in advance. He nodded and thanked the deliveryman, then returned to the backstage lounge and handed the orange juice to Si Xi.
He stuck the straw into his iced coffee and took a sip, then asked, "How are you doing?"
"It's great!" Si Xi said happily, "I've gradually gotten along with my teammates. At least now they don't dare to scold me when we have a fight. And their popularity has also increased a bit. I even have some fans who have switched from being a single fan to a group fan."
Jiang Huai laughed: "You used to think they were bad."
"You still dislike the food." Si Xi said bluntly, "But it doesn't really matter. How about you? How are you doing lately?
The air conditioner in the lounge was too warm, making people's faces feel hot. Jiang Huai put the iced coffee on his face to cool himself down. Water droplets condensed on the outer wall of the plastic cup in his palm and slid into his sleeves along his wrist bones: "I have a headache."
After the recording of "Who is the Murderer" was completed, the second personal album became the most urgent thing. The problems that had been previously ignored and could not be resolved had to be put on the table.
Jiang Huai bit the straw and said, "I want to compose the song for the second album, but I also think it would be better to use the existing demo... I'm really conflicted."
In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether the man in Jiang Huai's new variety show was the pre-prepared dish that he had paid in advance to prepare. Si Xi exclaimed, not expecting to get such an answer.
He glanced at Jiang Huai who was sitting next to him. He was leaning lazily on the sofa, staring aimlessly at the ceiling light in the lounge.
Si Xi recalled that after the first public performance of Produce Producer, he called Si Qinghuai and had a big fight with him, and ran to the practice room in anger. Later, Jiang Huai happened to pass by, came in, and lay down with him for a while and practiced dancing. At that time, Jiang Huai also stared at the lights like this.
In the more than one year from the audition to N1NE's activities, he seemed to have rarely seen Jiang Huai like this. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would comfort him in return, Si Xi thought.
"Don't set your standards too high." Si Xi said carefully, "You're not a god. How can you act well, sing well, dance well, and compose music at a professional level? Then I can't live anymore. It's normal for everyone to have their own strengths. You always have to make some trade-offs."
"I always feel that being true to my heart means being true to my fans," he said. "Although I don't seem to have the confidence to say this since I'm not your fan, I think they will like it. If you want to do this yourself."
When Si Xi is not so careless, he is quite reliable. Jiang Huai was silent for a while. In fact, these are all principles that he already understands, but it feels more real when he hears them from others.
He curled his lips, and suddenly stood up with his hands on his knees: "Thanks. You don't have to transfer the orange juice money to me."
"You wanted to ask me for the thirty yuan?" Si Xi said unreasonably. Jiang Huai ignored him: "Let's go, it's time to record the show."
"Wait, wait!" Si Xi pulled him back with a sigh, "Your foundation was rubbed off by the water and it's a little uneven, so touch up your makeup first!"
"On December 1, you received a call at home." The host said, and the landline in the venue rang. According to the previous lottery results, the first runner Si Xi answered the phone: "Hello?"
