Ideal Boy Group
"Today, I'm going to expose some big secrets."
Yi Jingchen was so drunk that his voice was bubbling.
The audience that poured into the live broadcast room became excited upon hearing the words, and frantically tagged various high-risk buildings in the domestic entertainment industry that were prone to collapse.
The reputation of the human-shaped building collapse appraiser has caused many artists in the domestic entertainment industry to remain silent. While they stay away from him, they secretly pay attention to Yi Jingchen's movements.
Firstly, to prevent him from revealing his own secrets.
Secondly, if he ever reveals any secrets about his rivals, he can rush over and fan the flames immediately.
When they heard that Yi Jingchen was going to start a live broadcast and was going to reveal a "big secret", the onlookers and most of the domestic entertainment industry were alarmed and rushed to Yi Jingchen's live broadcast room to capture first-hand information.
The number of people online in the live broadcast room was increasing rapidly, but on the other side of the screen, there was only a drunk cat with a red face.
Aurora teammates appeared behind Yi Jingchen, explaining with some embarrassment that he was drunk and talking nonsense.
No matter how many explanations were given, no one grabbed the phone to close the live broadcast room.
The reason is simple.
His teammates also wanted to know what big secret he was going to reveal?
This shows that eating melons is human nature.
"Meow~" The original body swung its tail and jumped to Yi Jingchen, staring at him with its amber cat eyes.
Yi Jingchen reached out and held the body in his arms, sniffed it hard, and showed a look of disgust.
"I want to expose my true identity! I don't like taking a bath in the middle of summer, and I bury cat litter in my feet every day!" Yi Jingchen poked the original's forehead, "Little dirty cat."
"Meow?!" The original body couldn't believe it. Yi Jingchen had been planning for a long time, but he was the first one to be exposed.
It opened its eyes wide, flapped its paws and meowed wildly.
How dare this idiot say that!
The last time he came back from hunting, he had a strange smell on him, but his original body didn't dislike him.
【Hahahahahaha! 】
【xswl, two cats fighting】
The intelligence levels of both opponents are equal (bushi)
[That's it? That's it? Where's the big secret I've been waiting for?]
Yi Jingchen won a great victory in the "Battle of Two Cats", and his original body was so angry that he ran away with his tail wagging, seeking comfort from the beautiful young lady.
Yi Jingchen, the winning cat, smiled foolishly, raised his phone and continued to expose without caring where the camera was pointing, "I also want to expose my teammates."
"ah?"
The remaining eight Aurora members became alert at the same time.
"Exposing us for what?"
"Well...don't listen to what he says."
"Yi Jingchen, give me your phone!"
The little friend was afraid that he would say something terrible, so he rushed over to grab the phone.
Unexpectedly, the drunken idiot Silver Gradient was quick to react, dodging their siege in an instant and exclaiming in a loud voice, "My teammates fight over food in the dorm every day and tell bad jokes. After training, they take off their clothes to show me their newly built muscles and even insist on letting me touch them."
"Oh."
Yi Jingchen smiled contemptuously.
“They’re all conspicuous bags!”
After hearing the revelations, netizens became more interested in Aurora's daily life, and 10,000 people signed a petition requesting the operating company to add live broadcast cameras in the dormitory.
Even though Yi Jingchen only revealed a few words, it still made everyone unable to control themselves.
"How dare you talk about us?"
The teammates were not willing to be outdone and fought back.
"Don't you have any yourself?"
"No." Yi Jingchen beeped loudly, "I only admire it secretly in the mirror when I take a shower."
“…”
The air suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's eyes turned to Yi Jingchen.
"Actually, I like myself very much!" Yi Jingchen opened his arms and spun in circles, making a scattering flower gesture.
The audience in the live broadcast room were lifted up in the air by him, and all they could see was the dizzying ceiling. Even if they hadn't drunk any alcohol, they would have almost vomited.
Yi Jingchen was already drunk, so he turned around a few times and fell onto the sofa next to him, putting his face close to the live camera.
"As for me, I'm a little loser."
At the beginning of the recording of "Super Idol", due to Yi Jingchen's limited singing and dancing abilities, many haters attacked him as a waste.
At that time, out of desensitization and self-deprecation, fans also took the opportunity to ridicule their idols as little losers.
When they heard the word "little waste" from Yi Jingchen's mouth, everyone thought he was still bothered by the negative news from the past, and they felt distressed and said all kinds of nice things to comfort him.
The comments were scrolling so fast that Yi Jingchen didn't see a single word.
Even if you see it, you will probably be curious about what kind of cross-server chat is this.
He said he was a piece of shit, not because of the malicious remarks he made earlier.
“I’ve never been able to do anything right.”
“I’ve learned so many skills, but I don’t seem to have any talent for them.”
"Actually, I didn't want to be a reporter at first. I wanted to be an astronaut and explore outer space to see if there was a real second dimension."
"Senior..." Li Jibai murmured softly, "Why didn't you go?!"
If he had become an astronaut, that dimensional wall might have been broken long ago.
"But, to be an astronaut you need to go through military training first, and I was rejected at this stage!" Yi Jingchen became more and more aggrieved. "My dream hasn't even begun, and it's already failed!"
"Later I chose the Department of Journalism. This was my third choice~" Yi Jingchen made a 'three' gesture, and before anyone could ask what his second choice was, they got the answer from his beeping.
[I fought for it for a long time, but University A was unwilling to offer a cosplay major!]
[I can obviously help them recruit students!]
Everyone: ...
Okay, you are worthy of it.
"I'll tell you another secret~" Yi Jingchen was drunk and unconscious. He picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his neck and drank two big gulps, and said foolishly, "Actually, I can spit bubbles~ Gulp gurgling~"
He pretended to spit for a long time, but only a few fleeting bubbles of saliva came out, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
This stupid cat is too drunk.
They had a hunch that this dark history of drunkenness would definitely remain on the hot searches for a long time.
"I'm a cat that lives in the sea, commonly known as a sea cat!"
"Help! There's no cat in the sea?" Shu Lang couldn't stop talking. He walked over and pulled Yi Jingchen up. "Come on, I'll take you to your room."
"Brother...?" Yi Jingchen recognized him with difficulty, grinned, and asked innocently, "I've already discovered that you are a ninja sent by Konoha Village, and you can create shadow clones."
Shu Lang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and yelled at him, "What the hell! You're so drunk you're having double vision!"
“Puff—”
“Hahahahahaha!”
Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, they finally sent the bubble-blowing sea cat back to the room.
Yi Jingchen seldom drinks alcohol, not only because he doesn't like the taste of alcohol, but also because he knows that he is not a good drinker.
Even though he was forced into the room, Yi Jingchen was restless and insisted that his original body perform a transformation for him.
The teammates returned to the living room to continue the celebration party and could still hear the conversation coming from upstairs.
"Change! Change quickly!"
"Meow?"
"Eat all my cat food and cans, and turn me into a paper-man wife. Isn't that too much to ask?"
“Meow meow meow!”
"So what if you're a little male cat? You've already laid eggs, so I can put a little skirt on you!"
The main body meowed weakly.
——I have never been so speechless in my life.
The next morning, Yi Jingchen woke up slowly and found that his original body was not sleeping beside him as usual, but was curled up in a ball on the farthest cabinet.
"Main body, what's wrong with you?"
Yi Jingchen asked in surprise. The main body did not respond at all, probably not awake yet.
"Lazy cat." Yi Jingchen turned over, fumbled to take out his mobile phone, and planned to play with it for a while before getting up.
Yi Jingchen received many prompt messages in the background, and opened Weibo, and found that the entry about himself being drunk was on the hot search.
"Am I drunk?"
Yi Jingchen fell into memories and couldn't come up with any results.
"No way." He poked into the entry with doubt, looked at it for a while, and cursed for the first time in his life.
“I’m really drunk?!!!”
Inside the villa, the friend who had been sleeping in the living room last night was woken up by him and rubbed his ears with a gloating look.
Everyone has a copy of the high-definition version of last night's drunken play, and it has become his permanent criminal record.
.
As time entered the second half of the year, it seemed as if the accelerator had been pressed.
Aurora participated in several more variety shows and released their second group album, leaving only a few pages left in this year's calendar.
As the end of the year approaches, as usual, various award ceremonies begin to take place.
When award ceremonies were held last year, "Super Idol" had not yet started recording.
In just a few months, twelve volumes were nominated for awards, and Aurora's name was on every one of them.
Even though most of the awards they are nominated for are shared prizes, they still unilaterally nominate a few popular artists every year to gain popularity.
Given that Aurora's performance was impressive enough, the company successfully nominated them for the prestigious award.
Nomination and final winning are two different things. The more prestigious the award, the greater the probability of being a runner-up.
It is possible that you arrive and sit through the entire session without hearing your name called.
Even so, Aurora's nine younger brothers remain very optimistic.
They have been in the industry for less than a year, and to be nominated is a great recognition for them.
As for whether or not to win the award?
With Yi Jingchen, the lucky guy, there won't be any big problems.
Everyone dressed up and attended several award ceremonies with great expectations.
There are almost no award ceremonies for idols in China. The award ceremonies they participate in are mainly music-related, and the organizers and judges naturally favor singers.
Before the awards ceremony began, the forum predicted who would win the award, and few people took Aurora seriously.
Despite such unfavorable circumstances, Aurora won several newcomer awards for the first time. Spokesperson Yi Jingchen's acceptance speech was humble but not servile, which won him a lot of goodwill.
Aurora brought last year to a successful conclusion with its outstanding performance.
The trophy was placed in the display cabinet in the dormitory, and the calendar finally changed to the new year.
January 1st is a very special day for Aurora.
On January 1 last year, the first stage of "Super Idol" officially began recording.
This year, the S-series draft still decided to start the new season at the same time.
Although Aurora did not accept the instructor's notice, she received an invitation from the program team to attend a meeting before the show started.
The "meeting" refers to the session where more than one hundred trainees who participated in this year's draft come to the recording base for the first time and meet with everyone.
The program team had a sudden idea and asked the nine members of the debut group last year to serve as NPCs for the meeting and stay in nine areas respectively.
New trainees will randomly choose an area, which is like opening a blind box.
After receiving the task, Aurora took a look at the arrangement of the nine rooms by the production team and immediately made a basic allocation.
"Over there with the rappers, it must be Nai Gan and Yu Yu who are going there."
"Leave the vocals to Jiujiu."
"Then a few of us..."
"Stop!" the production team called out urgently. "That way there won't be any surprises. The trainees who've done their homework will know where you are at a glance."
"Oh, right, how should it be distributed?"
"Since it's a blind box, you guys should also buy a blind box." The program team said, taking out the lottery bucket.
When everyone saw the lottery bucket, they thought of the fear of being dominated by Yi Jingchen during those years.
"Captain, you draw first." Everyone tactfully gave up their seats.
"I don't know which one to pick." Yi Jingchen was confused.
"Just draw whatever you want. We're just NPCs. We don't need to battle with them."
"That makes sense." Yi Jingchen walked to the lottery box and took out a stick with three letters written on it:
ACE
"Ah, this."
"really."
“Pretty accurate.”
The teammates were not surprised to see the result.
Soon, Yi Jingchen came to the 'ACE' room under the guidance of the staff.
The recording base is still the familiar recording base, and the layout of the classroom has not changed much.
Yi Jingchen revisited his old place and looked around curiously, feeling as if he were in another world.
The staff next to him told him the rules. The first part of the meeting was for him to choose his own position in the practice room.
In other words, everyone who comes to the ACE room thinks they can be the ACE.
Yi Jingchen's task was to give out AF grade stickers to the trainees based on his initial impression of them.
This sticker does not represent the initial stage rating or the final rating, it is just the seniors' assessment of their abilities.
Previously, the S-series talent shows always welcomed a group of trainees who had a high opinion of themselves and thought they were the best in the world.
Every time I took the initial evaluation, I just took A without any care. As a result, I was ridiculed because the final evaluation was so different from my self-evaluation.
The trainees were all teenagers around 20 years old, and many of them could not withstand this kind of blow and were unable to recover afterwards.
After careful consideration, the program team decided to have the senior students evaluate them first, which would allow them to have a clearer understanding of themselves and prevent them from making outrageous remarks on stage.
This also prevents the audience from mocking them for overestimating their abilities after the show is broadcast.
Yi Jingchen received the task, took the AF sticker from the staff, and tried it on himself.
If I had to evaluate myself last year, I would have definitely chosen F.
[Who would have thought that I would get an A later on~]
Staff: …
Suddenly I felt that there was something wrong with the setting of this link.
Can Yi Jingchen really give accurate ratings to his junior classmates?
At the same time, the first wave of trainees arrived at the entrance of the recording base and saw the task cards standing there.
'Please select the room you would most like to visit.'
Below are the introductions to the nine rooms. The most powerful one is the ACE room, and the last one is the 'Not Good At Anything' room.
The new brothers gathered there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Brothers who have a clear positioning will definitely give priority to the vocal/dance/rap room.
But those trainees who don’t have any special skills choose ACE rooms because they are afraid that they will not meet the ACE standards.
I am not good at choosing a waste room, but I feel unwilling to do so.
"Um... where are you going?"
Everyone started asking each other.
"I want to go to ACE, but the staff sister said that I will get a grade when I enter the room, and I will definitely get an F."
"Are we going to the last room? I don't feel like I have any dreams."
"Speaking of which, who is responsible for our initial image rating?"
"I know! I got the melon. It was from last year's senior group."
"Aurora? Are they really coming? I submitted my registration form because I loved their finals night and the atmosphere within the group so much."
"Me too, me too!"
"Since this is Aurora, the ACE room should belong to Du Xingwei... Senior. I'm five years older than him, so calling him senior is embarrassing."
"Ahem, I'm a big fan of Senior Du Xingwei. Although he's young, he's very strict with his singing and dancing standards. Just look at Aurora's training vlogs and you'll see he's ruthless towards Yi Jingchen too."
"Hiss—even though I don't have any dreams, I'll still go to the waste room."
"Do you think the person in the waste room is Yi Jingchen?"
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
Even without saying anything, they had already reached a consensus that the waste room was Yi Jingchen.
In just nine months since his debut, Yi Jingchen's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he has already reached the passing level of an idol.
But the useless look he showed during the game is still deeply remembered by everyone.
Thinking of Yi Jingchen in that room, everyone instantly had an idea, and many people tacitly walked towards the "Not Good at" classroom.
When I opened the door, I bumped into Luqiu inside.
Luchu prepared himself for a few minutes, then acted like a senior student and said with a smile, "Welcome, please come in."
"Senior Luchu?"
"Why is it you!"
I thought I could see Yi Jingchen’s junior and heard the sound of something breaking.
"Because the production team said the meeting would be for the blind box opening session, we've changed the order." Luchu said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Also, if you choose this room, you can't leave."
“No, no way!”
Everyone, hurry into the room.
Although the NPC encountered was not Yi Jingchen, Lu Ju was well-known for his gentle and good temper, and was extremely friendly to newcomers.
At the same time, several trainees, with a fearless attitude, planned to muster up the courage to clear the Du Xingwei copy.
When he opened the door, he saw Yi Jingchen playing with stickers inside, and also heard the sound of something breaking.
"Senior Yi Jingchen."
"Are you in charge of the ACE room?"
Everyone held on to a glimmer of hope, praying that Yi Jingchen had simply walked into the wrong room.
"Yes." Yi Jingchen saw through their thoughts and asked slowly, "Can't I?"
"How could that be possible!"
The younger brothers were so scared that they immediately changed their words.
"Of course you can, you are the almighty ACE!"
"Um...what kind of assessment are we going to take?"
"Let me think about it."
The program team did not specify the form of assessment, and the initial level depends entirely on the subjective judgment of the seniors.
The other teammates chose the most common way and asked the junior to perform a simple show.
Yi Jingchen, however, took a different approach and asked directly, "First, please answer me, do you think you have the qualifications to be an idol?"
"have……"
"Yeah?"
Yi Jingchen made a simple judgment and found that the moral characters of the brothers in front of him were relatively upright and they had never done anything disrespectful before.
He nodded with satisfaction, "As idols, you must always remember to pay taxes when you should, and not sleep when you shouldn't."
[Strong queue!!! @All idols, listen carefully! ]
[I suggest that everyone from the other rooms be brought here to face the trial of the collapse of their rooms before they can continue to participate.]
[+ID number, why did the production team put Chenchen in the room? They should have put him at the door.]
I'm really looking forward to Yi Jingchen being a mentor next year. I feel like even the most famous celebrities won't dare to submit their application forms for next year's talent show.
Yi Jingchen used his professional skills to interview several junior students, formed a rough judgment on them, and issued rating stickers to each of them.
In order to reward them for their courage to enter the ACE room, Yi Jingchen did not give them an F-grade sticker, and the rating was quite gentle.
In the live broadcast room, some persistent black fans were very disdainful of this and dissed Yi Jingchen for posting like a child playing house.
As it turned out, 90% of the stickers given by Yi Jingchen in the initial stage evaluation corresponded to the final evaluation.
Even if there is a deviation, it will not exceed one level, which is very accurate.
The popularity of this year's S-series talent show remains high, and the registration pass rate is lower than last year. In the end, only 103 trainees were successfully selected.
After everyone arrived at the recording base at the specified time and received their ratings, the program team gathered them in the small square outside the recording building.
The small square is still a familiar scene, with many fans taking pictures outside the isolation line.
Aurora debuted nine months ago, and there are many channels for fans to see him. They don't need to come to the recording base specially and squat for a whole day just to take a blurry picture of his back.
Almost all the fans who are waiting here now are here for this year's younger brother.
Some are pre-game fans, and some buy stocks on the spur of the moment.
When they saw Aurora coming out, they were more excited than when they saw themselves, and they screamed loudly.
Yi Jingchen heard the scream and immediately waved his hand.
"Are you guys cold?" Even if the person outside is not one of their own fans, the perfect idol with the highest emotional value still shows concern.
“It’s not cold!”
"Senior Yi is so warm!"
Yi Jingchen instructed, "Go back quickly after the filming, don't catch a cold."
"Okay!" Everyone responded and looked at their younger brother in the crowd again, feeling that the contrast was terrible.
They called out their younger brothers' names and asked them to learn from Yi Jingchen.
"How charming, you know?"
"Um."
Before the junior student could respond, Yi Jingchen nodded first.
"An idol's duty is to please their fans."
Below, the younger student’s face was filled with a look of enlightenment.
Aurora gathered the younger students together, and the staff came to the front of the team holding the familiar loud speaker and spoke to everyone with full energy.
"To the 103 trainees participating in this year's draft, welcome to come from afar!"
"For the next three months, each of you will learn how to become a qualified idol through singing, dancing, rapping, and artistic ethics."
"Huh?"
Yi Jingchen was a little surprised when he heard that his idol's basic abilities had increased from three to four.
[Have they finally realized the importance of an artist's character?]
[But putting artistic ethics in fourth place is a bit of a waste of time.]
The staff choked, motioned the trainee to look at Aurora, and continued:
"Standing before you now are the debut group from last year's S-series talent show, and they also represent the pinnacle of idol groups in the domestic entertainment industry!"
"The highest level? Us?" Li Jibai, who has nothing but his pretty face, questioned.
"Because Thrill disbanded."
"Ah, this..." Everyone understood.
If we can survive to the end, we will be the first.
"For the next three months, your goal is to follow their example and reach the top of the pyramid!"
After the staff finished his inspiring speech, he handed the microphone to Yi Jingchen, asking him to say a few words on behalf of the seniors.
Unexpectedly, Yi Jingchen's first sentence destroyed the program team's plan.
"There's no need to use us as a role model. From the competition until now, we haven't used Thrill as a reference."
Staff: …
So what I just said was in vain?
"Every person and every group has their own unique shining points. We are not copy-and-paste assembly line products. We have the ability to become irreplaceable in the eyes of the audience."
"There's only one secret to captivating an audience: sincerity always pays off."
"As long as you are sincere and passionate enough and try your best to enjoy the stage, the audience will definitely see you."
"So."
"I sincerely hope that a more ideal idol will be born among you!"
