Chapter 19 Program
"The Choice of the Future" did a lot of publicity before it was broadcast. It featured elites from all walks of life, a mature and steady president of a company, or a young and beautiful female executive of a group. Each of them was a remarkable person who attracted attention. It is rare to have such close contact. After all, in the Chinese people's concept, basically all the people who appear on TV screens are celebrities, and celebrities generally do not have a high status in the eyes of the public. Although they are glamorous, they are actually no match for these entrepreneurs.
It is a rare opportunity for successful people to interact with the public in this way. Compared with ordinary showmanship, this is more practical. In addition to attracting talents, it can also guide a generation of young people in planning their careers and lives. They can use their own personal experiences to extract the factors of success and help the new generation of young people avoid detours as much as possible. The purpose of program planning is also to set off a trend among young people.
This is indeed the case. The show had very high ratings on the day it was aired. What is even more surprising is that the ratings of the subsequent replays were even higher than the premiere.
"Future Choices" features twelve guests, all from diverse industries. Those who qualify are, of course, at the top of their game: a handsome young executive at a media company, a fashion industry leader, a beloved author and editor-in-chief of a renowned magazine. Each of them possesses extraordinary talent, often keeping a low profile. But when they're on stage, their every move commands admiration. This, presumably, is the essence of charisma.
Jing Rong is the least accomplished one among them. After all, many people have more or less relied on their own efforts and struggled for several years to achieve their current results, while Jing Rong relies entirely on her father. She has a big boss-level father who made her a small boss right after she came out of retirement. Now her career has just begun to be planned, and she has almost no career of her own. It is precisely because of this that when Dong Yang first considered Jing Rong, he only positioned her as a vase. After all, no matter how serious and formal the program is, it also needs some gimmicks. Their country is not 100% tolerant of women, and a large part of the people believe from the bottom of their hearts that women should not work, so women are a vulnerable group in the workplace, which directly led to their careful selection of this program. After much hesitation, they finally found only three successful women - in front of the word success, Jing Rong should be put in quotation marks, she is purely incidental, because the number is not enough, so they can only work hard on the quality. The other two female bosses are tycoons in the clothing industry, and her original brand represents the word fashion. The other is the founder of a women's magazine that is well-known throughout Asia. They are all heavyweights. Jing Rong is simply not good enough in front of them, but she is young and beautiful and can compete with her father!
Of course, after meeting Jing Rong, Dong Yang's opinion of her changed significantly, but he wasn't particularly optimistic. Although Jing Rong was talented enough, she could easily be overlooked in front of so many outstanding seniors. Moreover, this kind of program relies on aura. At first, Jing Rong might get some extra attention because of her appearance, but once the audience gets used to this model, they will automatically look for deeper things, such as demeanor, cultivation, charm, and thoughts. It was obviously unrealistic for Jing Rong to compete with so many seniors in depth. However, the reality was quite the opposite. It was also possible that Dong Yang underestimated the audience's pursuit of beauty. Against the backdrop of two female bosses in their forties, Jing Rong looked even more radiant and charming. Moreover, she was not bad looking to begin with. With makeup and a well-fitting outfit, she stood calmly on the stage. Even the photographers couldn't help but turn their cameras to her - in fact, she was born with this eye-catching trait.
Beneath her pleasing appearance, Jing Rong's every move is also worthy of her image. During the recording of the program, she paid great attention to Korean etiquette throughout the whole process and was always the last to speak. Unlike the young people nowadays who like to show off, she was very calm, didn't talk much, and had a nice voice. She used her usual calm tone, which was serious yet gentle. She would look into the contestants' eyes very seriously, sincerely tell the other party what they did not do well, and remind the other party what kind of answer she would like to hear as an interviewer. Rather than saying that she was eliminating the contestants, it would be better to say that she was teaching them to grow seriously and trying to make everyone's trip worthwhile.
Likewise, the audience also had a worthwhile trip.
In the end, Jing Rong, who received less attention, turned out to be a dark horse that made it to the top. The show had just been aired for a week, and many netizens had already spontaneously organized a vote online, with Jing Rong ranking among the top three.
In a word, "The Choice of the Future" has become popular. It is not the participants with different styles that have become famous, but the guests who have conquered everyone with their charm, which has made the audience look forward to it.
The benefits of participating in the program are obvious. Jing Rong's hotel may not lack talents, but Xue's Group needs them. Jing Rong attended this time as the executive of Xue's Group and president of Jinxiu Nianhua Hotel. The fame belongs to Jinxiu Nianhua, and the outstanding talents she selected belong to Xue's Group headquarters. The division of labor is clear. For a time, with Jing Rong's fame, Jinxiu Nianhua became more and more well-known. The benefits of being famous are highlighted here. Jing Rong has a group of fans, and fans will go to the hotel to support their idols. As a result, young people who used to be on the sidelines about Jinxiu Nianhua but like to try new things have gradually changed from watching to joining. If they really feel like it, they will go back and share it with their friends. This is how word of mouth is built.
G-Dragon only found out about this after his maknae accidentally reminded him of his girlfriend's popularity for more than half a month.
G-Dragon and Kyungyoung have been very busy lately, each of them busy in their own way. Bigbang's album is selling well in China, but they are not limited to that, so they work harder, not only for the album, but also for such a large-scale activities and announcements, in fact, they are also preparing for the world tour. Captain Kwon is a career-oriented person with a strong sense of responsibility. Because of the bad things that happened last year, Bigbang almost fell into the crisis of disbanding. Now he is putting all his efforts into taking the team members to go further, not only to conquer Korea, but also to conquer the world, so this is probably the busiest and most hardworking time of his life since his debut.
As for Jingrong, as Jiyong's girlfriend, usually Brother Long doesn't take the initiative to contact her, and she definitely won't take the initiative. Instead, she often chats with Taeyang when she has nothing to do. Since the last time they met in Golden Years, Taeyang took it for granted that Jingrong and his gay friend were inseparable. Regarding the "Choice of the Future", Jingrong must have been the first one to tell Jiyong. Taeyang thought about it and stopped meddling in other people's business. He also didn't have the bad taste to pull Captain Kwon to listen to his thoughts on his girlfriend becoming famous when he was exhausted. So, something that was originally easy to know, instead had so many unknown factors.
Compared to Taiyang, Seungri, who had become familiar with Jingrong after knowing them for less than a month, was a completely different type. Taiyang was a friend that Jingrong treated seriously, and Taiyang also liked Jingrong as a friend, so they got along very naturally and communicated quite frequently. When he was free, Taiyang would go to Jingrong's hotel to have dinner with her, and Jingrong also welcomed him sincerely. But Seungri was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off. In fact, this could be considered Seungri's strength. He was a complete social expert. He had never failed to make friends with anyone he wanted. Now Seungri was determined to cling to Jingrong's thigh, and his enthusiasm made Jingrong unable to resist. In the end, although it didn't go exactly as Seungri wished, Jingrong did become familiar with him quickly.
Seungri hadn't initially known Jingrong was on "Future Choices." They'd been too busy lately to pay attention to any other news. But one thing Seungri did have over his brothers was a love of gossip, and his manager always indulged his hobby. When Big Bang was too busy to rest, his manager would occasionally chat with Seungri about the latest happenings in the industry, and the topic of a certain wealthy, white, and beautiful female celebrity who was currently eclipsing everyone else's. Seungri was intrigued by this legendary figure, but upon learning more about her, he discovered that this legendary, wealthy, and beautiful female celebrity was actually his sister-in-law. What the hell did that mean? It meant he still hadn't gotten close to anyone, otherwise why would his sister-in-law not tell him about something so significant?!
Seungri wanted to pound the ground. It seemed like he'd been too reassured! Hearing so much gossip from his agent, Seungri lost his breath, his back aches gone, and swiftly ran to Captain Kwon's lounge. "Jiyong, you guys are so mean!" Seungri put his hands on his hips, indignant. "I'm so fond of you guys, but you didn't even tell me about something so serious happening to my sister-in-law!"
Captain Kwon was already immune to his maknae's impulsiveness. He calmly put down his pen, raised his head, and frowned: "You'd better have something big going on, otherwise you should write your own song next time."
Shengli's eyes drifted for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and said, "Brother, don't go that far! It's obviously you who did something dishonest, yet you're still threatening me!"
Captain Quan finally became interested in what Seungri was saying. He closed the lyrics book, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him calmly, "What's going on?"
Seeing Long Ge's nonchalant attitude, Shengli was furious and yelled, "Brother, my sister-in-law actually appeared on a TV show and was widely praised. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing, and you still have the nerve to ask me what it was about?"
