Chu Qi's idea and purpose are very simple. She does not need Lin Long to win the championship of the "Global All-Round Artist Competition". She just wants Lin Long to pass the audition and give a wonderful performance during the filming of the competition.
Once they attract the attention of everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry, the reputation of their "Chinese Entertainment" will soar, and even obtaining resources and negotiating cooperation will be much easier.
After all, don’t be fooled by the fact that the current "Huaxia Entertainment" seems to be developing very rapidly and is doing very well.
But after the big investment, the various shortcomings of the new company will gradually be exposed. Without sufficient foundation, its reputation will naturally not keep up.
Most truly talented directors, screenwriters, etc. would give priority to the established entertainment companies they have been working with for many years, and would only consider Huaxia Entertainment last, for fear that their company would interfere and ruin the good script.
Chu Qi, who used to be a broker, has heard this all along. Now that Chu Qi runs her own company, she can feel the difficulty of this step even more. If any step is not stable, it will easily lead to a false prosperity.
If Huaxia Entertainment is given more time, it may be able to develop more steadily.
But now, 'Huaxia Entertainment' belongs to the 'LL Group' and is one of the only two companies that Lin Long started from scratch, the other being Goddess.
Others are aggressively entering the market through acquisitions and restructuring. After reaping market share and capital, they are likely to launch all-out attacks.
In this way, Goddess and 'Huaxia Entertainment' are the two core industries of the 'LL Group'. Goddess is developing very well now, and Chu Qi doesn't want to fall behind.
In this case, "Huaxia Entertainment" can no longer rely on false prosperity in a short period of time, and it needs a solid foundation. Chu Qi, who is not willing to fall behind the Feng Shan and Feng Feng brothers, came over shamelessly and encouraged their boss to come out and gain fame.
Lin Longyin, known as LongLong, had appeared at a fashion week before and had some fame in the international fashion world. She was also very good-looking, so her chances of passing auditions were higher than other artists.
As for whether Lin Long can make a brilliant appearance in the all-around competition, Chu Qi is miraculously confident. Regardless of whether her Long Long can get a ranking, she will definitely be eye-catching.
Although Chu Qi didn't know where this confidence came from, she was so sure of it.
It was really easy to persuade Lin Long. Raised by a group of giant dragons, she had two advantages and two fatal disadvantages:
Not worth praising.
And once they see something "profitable", they can't help but want to take action.
Especially when Chu Qi listed all the benefits of participating in the All-Round Artist Competition, Lin Long could no longer resist. When she came to her senses, she found that she had nodded in agreement.
But this decision has stirred up a hornet's nest.
Not only the Lin family's head family, but even the three Dragon fathers were a little emotional.
The reason is simple, simply because the filming location of the 'Global All-Round Artist Competition' will be in Country S.
After receiving the news, Lin Linji returned to the main house of the Lin family and shamelessly reported to his father and Lin Long's grandfather who were far away at the K Group headquarters in Country S that he had recently returned to Country S to take over the work of the K Group and would not deny staying in China.
The current chairman of the K Group in the video call, though already over seventy, appeared energetic due to his robust health. Upon seeing his son constantly shirking responsibility and hindering his retirement, he became furious and glared at him, giving him a lecture before finally returning to his chair and speaking:
"Tell me, is there something your family is hiding from me? Who is the little girl who often hangs around and talks to your grandma?"
It was the decision of the entire Lin family to temporarily conceal the news that Lin Long had been found. Lin Jianfeng, who was far away in Country S, had been longing for grandchildren for a long time.
When he heard the news that his daughter-in-law had given birth, he took time out of his busy schedule to return to China just to see his granddaughter, but he never expected such a thing to happen. He returned to Country S with a great blow.
If his father Lin Jianfeng knew that his granddaughter had been found, Lin Linji was absolutely sure that his father would fly back to China directly and pack him up and send him to China to take over the K Group, instead of letting him drag it out for several months.
But now, it is obvious that his father Lin Jianfeng has discovered something, and his daughter Lin Long will probably go to Country S soon. No matter how you look at it, it cannot be concealed.
So Lin Linji rubbed his nose and confessed frankly.
Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Linji was scolded by Lin Jianfeng. If it weren't for the distance between them, Lin Jianfeng would probably raise his crutch to hit him.
But after he got angry, Lin Jianfeng used all kinds of threats and inducements to force Lin Linji to quickly bring his beloved granddaughter to Country S for him to see.
I have to say that the situation on Lin Linji's side is relatively good. Compared with He Long, Will and Ed's side, it is like dark clouds are gathering, and there is a terrifying feeling that a storm is about to come.
It's nothing special, it's very impartial. No matter how little interest He Long has in the entertainment industry, he knows about this 'Global All-Round Artist Competition' because the original proposer of this competition is Silver Dragon Andre.
Although the organizer was not him, but those bored and wealthy old nobles from Country S, the reason for the competition was that Silver Dragon Andre tricked those old nobles into organizing a recreational activity.
So every few years, you would see Honglong suddenly become a judge to evaluate the cooking skills of the artists.
As we all know, the evaluation of artists is basically based on appearance, talent, and charm. No one would evaluate their cooking skills.
Therefore, some people say that the "Global All-Round Artist Competition" is the least reliable artist competition, but it cannot be denied that the huge benefits obtained by participating and winning the prizes have almost attracted artists all over the world.
Moreover, the all-round artists finally selected do have the potential to become superstars. The competition is held every four years, and even the least outstanding winner will at least be famous around the world for two years. If they are a little more famous, their legends will still be spread to this day.
In fact, it is not surprising. With three dragons as judges, with their picky eyes, it would be strange if the people they choose are bad.
Yes, you heard it right, there are three dragons, not two.
In addition to the silver dragon Andre and the red dragon Norton, there is also the earth dragon Zhao Yan.
But Zhao Yan is a steady guy. He went to the crazy dragon and the violent dragon not to play with them, but to keep an eye on them to prevent them from playing too much.
Therefore, if Lin Long participated in the "Global Almighty Competition", it would be like telling the other three dragons that she is here.
Thinking of this, how could the three dragons He Long, Will and Ed not feel depressed?
Especially Ed, he has worked so hard to block the intelligence network for so long, and he is even more fortunate that in recent months, Lin Long has stepped from the front to the back, reducing the pressure on him to intercept intelligence. He thought he could keep it secret for a while, but now that he has participated, won’t it be exposed?
They couldn't stop Lin Long from participating in the competition. After all, their daughter's idea was very clear, which was to enhance the reputation of her "Huaxia Entertainment" company under the "LL Group". They had no reason to stop her.
He didn't even tell their cub that they didn't let her go because she would meet Silver Dragon and the others.
Moreover, they knew their cub's personality very well. Even if her cub agreed on the surface, she might not go to find Yinlong and the others later. In this case, it would be meaningless to say it or not.
Thinking of this, the faces of He Long, Will and Ed became even darker. Each dragon couldn't help but count on their fingers how many blind guys were competing with them for their cubs.
There were already three dragons, and then there was Lin Linji, the biological father of their own child, and finally there was Wang Brand, the "brat" they dared not kick. Then there would be the Silver Dragon, the Red Dragon, and the Earth Dragon to add to the list...
As long as they thought about the fight for the cubs in the future, He Long, Will and Ed, the three dragons... suddenly felt that life as a dragon was a bit difficult, and they just wanted to lie down and ask for comfort from their cubs.
However, no matter how tragic or dark the situation on both sides was, Lin Long's plan to go to Country S was finalized a week later.
It was almost a foregone conclusion that Lin Long would make it through the auditions for the top 100 of the 'Global All-Round Artist Competition'.
Lin Long's outstanding performance at the fashion week earned her a lot of extra points from the audition judges.
It seems that everyone wants to see how Lin Long will perform against other international supermodels in the All-Round Artist Competition. Will her performance in the competition be as convincing as before, and will she be worthy of the title of International Supermodel Ed's Daughter?
These will be the biggest highlights of the live broadcast recording of the competition.
Therefore, Lin Long was shortlisted for the audition with these few works.
Compared to those who only have the title of Goddess spokesperson, any of the other shortlisted contestants can list at least four or five international representative works, and there are even many international supermodels who have been famous for many years.
But this is not all, this is just the model part. The contestants of this competition also include singers, actors and other artists from different fields.
Just looking at this lineup, we can foresee how fierce the All-Round Artist Competition will be. It will probably be a battle without gunpowder, just to survive to the end.
The All-Round Artist Competition confirmed the schedule very quickly. Seven days after the list of 100 finalists was released, Lin Long received an email from the organizers of the competition.
The email lists the locations where the competition will be filmed and the approximate schedule. In addition to the professional judges of the competition, the judges will also conduct global voting, which, like Fashion Week, accounts for 30% of the weight.
The competition will be broadcast live throughout, recording everything that happens to the participating artists before and after the competition. It will also adopt an accommodation system, and all contestants can only stay in the accommodation. They cannot leave without permission unless there are special circumstances. If they leave without permission, they will be deemed to have forfeited.
Attached to the email was the specific address of the contestants' dormitory, and it also reminded the contestants to arrive at 21:00 on the day before the competition.
Lin Long calculated the start time of the all-around competition and the travel time from China to Country S, but found that there was not much time left and they had to set off at the latest tomorrow.
Chu Qi originally wanted to go with them, as Feng Shan could help look after the company for a while, but Lin Long refused.
The reason is very simple. We are staying in the staff dormitory for the entire schedule. There is not much point in the agent coming along. He can only stand outside and worry. It is better for him not to come and just manage the company well.
If the consortium has any matters that require her to make decisions, they can send the documents to her and she will handle them during her free time.
So, the next day, Lin Long simply packed her luggage and went straight to the airport.
Before boarding the plane, Lin Long felt the hem of her clothes tighten, as if someone was grabbing it. She lowered her head and saw Xiao Dede holding the corner of her clothes and looking at her reluctantly.
There was a very complicated look in his golden eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. As he thought about it, his fair face turned slightly red. He pulled Lin Long's clothes hard again, asking her to lower her head. He seemed to want to say something to him.
Seeing this, Lin Long subconsciously lowered her head and leaned forward. Before she could react, she felt warmth on her lips. Xiao Dede was just standing on tiptoe and gave her a kiss.
Then, while she was stunned, he stared at her with his golden eyes, looking at her very seriously and said, "Next time we meet, when we grow up, Little Dede will kiss you like this. You are already my Little Dede's dragon, you can't run away, understand?"
Hearing this, Lin Long realized that the joke he had said before when he took off Xiao Dede's wet clothes and coaxed him to sleep, saying that he would be responsible for Xiao Dede and that he was Xiao Dede's dragon, would not go through with it.
However, Lin Long did not take it seriously and just subconsciously regarded it as a child's joke. Little Dede is less than four years old now, and it will take a long time for him to grow up. When he grows up, he probably won't remember this incident.
But at this moment, the little beauty Tuanzi said this, and Lin Long, who doted on Tuanzi, naturally agreed without hesitation. She smiled brightly and nodded, saying, "Okay."
After coaxing little Dede, Lin Long said goodbye to her biological parents Lin Linji, Long's father, Chu Qi and others, and then boarded the plane with her luggage.
She also said that she would be back after the competition, so they should not worry about her. If they had any questions, they could contact her privately and she would reply when she saw them.
Lin Long's flight from China to Country S also took off on time and headed for the destination of the All-Round Artist Competition.
However, what Lin Long didn't know was that not long after her flight took off, Lin Linji, He Long and others who had originally come to "see her off" looked at each other and quickly split into two groups, walking in different directions of the airport.
But they did not leave the airport. Instead, they went to two different boarding gates, where the private jets of the Lin family and the BD Group were located.
It was obvious that neither He Long and the other three, nor Lin Linji and the others, intended to stay in China just to watch the game. Their purpose was very clear, they would follow Lin Long to Country S.
But their directions were a little different. He Long and Ed went to Will's branch in Country S, where there were properties suitable for them to live in.
Lin Linji took his wife Jiang Yi to the K Group's headquarters in Country S. In addition to taking over the K Group from his father Lin Jianfeng, he also planned to join in the fun at the All-Round Artist Competition.
He vaguely remembered that in the past few competitions, the organizers of the All-Round Artist Competition had invited their K Group to be guest judges for a round, but the K Group had never been interested in it before.
But this time it’s different. As a father, how can he not sneak in and cast a vote for his own child?
Brand had the same idea. When he was able to observe Lin Long closely and make a choice with Heilong and the others, he chose the former without hesitation.
Anyway, we will be in Country S by then, and we can gather with our tribesmen at any time, but it is not often possible to get close to Lin Long.
Besides, he had already said that the next time they met, he would no longer be little Dede, but the 'grown-up' Brand.
On the private plane heading to the Lin family's home in Country S, Brand had successfully recovered his youthful appearance of being clear, noble and of extraordinary temperament. He put on the clothes prepared for him by the Lin family's family, and buttoned his sleeves carefully with his eyes slightly lowered.
After finishing all the details of the clothes, Brand looked at himself in the mirror, who had dressed up and looked much more colorful. He finally nodded with satisfaction and carefully put the little dragon pendant hanging around his neck into his shirt and hid it.
After the plane lands, in order to facilitate his entry into human society, he will have another human name: the second largest mysterious shareholder of the K Group, whose shareholding is only 1% less than that of the main Lin family, the wealthy Brand.
Of course, Lin Long on the plane didn't know all this. Due to time constraints, she probably wouldn't have a chance to adjust to the jet lag after arriving at her destination.
Therefore, as soon as he got on the plane, Lin Long purposefully caught up on his sleep and refreshed himself. After a long flight of about ten hours, Lin Long finally arrived in Country S.
When I got off the plane, although I was a little tired from sitting for so long, my mental state was still pretty good.
However, what surprised Lin Long was that she thought the contestants would choose their own means of transportation to the dormitory, but she never expected that as soon as she got out of the airport, she saw a man from Country S in a suit holding a pick-up sign with her name on it: LongLong.
No wonder the competition organizers asked them to fill in the relevant flight information when replying to the email. It turned out that they had already arranged to pick them up at the airport.
Thinking of this, Lin Long pushed the luggage forward and smiled politely:
"Hello, I'm LongLong. May I ask who you are...?"
"Hello, LongLong, I'm one of the tournament guides. I'll be taking you to the dormitory. But before you leave the airport, please choose one of these three masks and put it on."
As he spoke, the guide took out three masks that only covered the upper half of his face, namely the dragon cub mask, the wild cat mask, and the butterfly mask.
Although Lin Long was curious about why she had to wear a mask, she didn't think much about it. She picked out a dragon cub mask and put it on. She followed the guide and walked behind him. When they were about to leave the airport, the guide spoke again:
"The competition will begin the moment you step out of the airport. Please do not take off your mask until you are allowed to do so, or you will be disqualified. For the first round, you will find free transportation to the dormitory marked with the 'Dragon Cub' sign. Here is the address. Good luck, Girl. I hope to see you again tomorrow when filming begins~"
After saying that, the guide in a suit quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving only some very important information to Lin Long.
The 'Global All-Round Artist Competition' will not start eliminations tomorrow, but will begin as soon as all the contestants walk out of the airport, or in other words, as soon as they step into Country S.
There are three conditions for successfully passing this round:
Wearing a mask, not showing your face, and without spending a penny, you arrive at the dormitory on time.
In other words, if any of the 100 contestants fails to meet any of the requirements, they will be eliminated and will not even have the chance to appear on camera.
And...the elimination rounds have begun.
When Lin Long caught a glimpse of a few people holding cameras hidden in the crowd, she knew that they were the organizers of the competition who were monitoring the contestants. They would clearly record the entire process of Lin Long from leaving the airport to the dormitory.
It has to be said that Lin Long had a headache at this moment. It was not because she was afraid or anything, but because she had spent most of the time on the plane catching up on sleep, so she didn't get to eat the next meal.
Originally, Lin Long planned to buy something to fill her stomach after getting off the plane, but she never expected that the elimination round would start like this.
This round of competition is obviously designed to test the contestants' popularity and personal charm. Asking passersby to lend money to the contestants, or asking passersby to drive the contestants to their destination without showing up, is not a small task.
But this did not seem to stump Lin Long. Lin Long believed that he was quite good at chatting people up and observing.
Moreover, compared to borrowing money from passers-by and then choosing to take public transportation, Lin Long prefers to get there in one go, directly from the airport to the dormitory, and it would be even better if he could fill his stomach on the way.
As Lin Long thought about this, he looked at the tourists of different skin colors coming and going around him, and then he looked up at the taxis stopping and going outside, and an idea came to his mind.
So, Lin Long did not leave the airport immediately, or anxiously ask passers-by for help.
Instead, he returned to the airport departure hall, walked around the airport slowly with his luggage, and chatted with some taxi drivers who were soliciting passengers at the airport, as well as some people who were introducing various tourist projects in Country S.
