A burst of laughter erupted from the audience, who all assumed that Qiao Zhaoxing was just warming up the crowd.
After all, the finals are over. Although Qiao Zhaoxing looks very young, everyone has learned about his real age through the live broadcasts during this period. In any case, he has nothing to do with the talent show.
However, Qiao Zhaoxing's expression was very serious, "Please, producers, pick me as the most conscientious entrepreneur of the year."
A voting QR code appeared on the screen, and the camera even thoughtfully scanned the students sitting in the front row.
The students in the mountains were all dressed in clean and tidy school uniforms, but some were shy and some were timid in front of the camera, and their first reaction was almost always to run away.
It inexplicably makes people feel soft-hearted, including viewers in front of the screen, many of whom spontaneously took out their phones to scan the QR code.
In just a few minutes, Qiao Zhaoxing's ranking had surpassed that of the first place.
Since this competition involves official organizations to some extent, if Qiao Zhaoxing were to conduct a lottery as in the past, it would inevitably be suspected of cheating. Therefore, he could only appeal at this moment. Fortunately, many viewers who had watched his live stream during this period were very accommodating and voted for him.
"Thank you." Qiao Zhaoxing bowed sincerely and left the stadium, and the fans in the stadium followed suit and left one after another.
The viewers in the live stream were confused.
[Are you kidding me? That's it? What about the live stream? What about the competition?]
[The person upstairs is late; the live stream has already ended. Jiang is first, Mu is second, Sun is third...]
It's only 10 o'clock now. Isn't this usually just the beginning?
Our lotus root juice is truly unique.
With the competition over, Qiao Xia prepared a bus for the trainees who hadn't debuted and took them to a hotel to rest.
After finishing their post-show interviews, Jiang Xiaomian and the others who had just debuted sat in the lounge holding their trophies, their faces filled with confusion.
"Congratulations on your graduation today!" Qiao Xia's energetic voice immediately reignited the trainees' enthusiasm.
Qiao Xia's gaze swept over them one by one. It is worth mentioning that Zhu Wenjing, perhaps because he was playing on home turf, unexpectedly made it into the debut position, even though he used to always be hovering around the death.
In every talent show, the controversy surrounding the last debut spot is usually the greatest, and this show is no exception.
Zhu Wenjing was staring at his phone with a deathly pale face, and the smile on his lips was barely perceptible.
Qiao Xia stepped forward and took his phone. "I can assure you that the votes in this talent show were absolutely fair and just. You were all voted by the audience."
"Now that we're here, let's not doubt the audience, and even more so, let's not doubt ourselves."
After hearing her words of comfort, Zhu Wenjing's expression improved considerably.
Su Jiu, who was also in the debut position, asked, "We'll be under President Qiao's management from now on. I wonder what President Qiao's plans are for us in the future?"
Qiao Xia checked the time. "I think we should talk about this after you've rested. Aren't you tired?"
The group exchanged glances and shook their heads. In fact, each of them had rehearsed at least two programs for today's competition, and they had hardly had a good night's sleep in the past week.
But at this moment, they were more interested in knowing Qiao Xia's plans for their future than sleeping.
Qiao Xia pulled up a chair and sat down. "Then we need to ask you what you think first. As far as the current market environment in the Chinese entertainment industry is concerned, it is indeed not suitable for the development of idols. Those whose careers are starting to take off are all going to film TV dramas."
No one who makes it to the debut stage is a fool. Of course they know about the environment of the Chinese entertainment industry, but when they heard Qiao Xia say it so bluntly, they still lowered their heads in disappointment.
Sun Hao, in particular, became very depressed, asking, "Isn't there any other way?"
Most people who participate in talent shows have the idea of becoming famous and then making money through acting. But now, facing the stage they have worked hard for for three months, hearing these words, they will feel more or less resentful.
Not to mention Sun Hao, he truly loves music and the stage.
He didn't want to do anything offstage. He originally thought this time would be different, but it turns out...
"Of course not." Qiao Xia refused directly. "What I want to say is that no matter what happens to you in the future, for the two years you've signed with me, since you're idols, you have to act like idols!"
"Even if there is no stage, we will create one. We will start recording the group variety show on the spot starting tomorrow. I hope you can be ready for your first song in 21 days."
Everyone looked up in astonishment, especially Sun Hao, whose face was filled with surprise. "Are you serious?"
Qiao Xia replied firmly, "Of course."
Su Jiu, who had fought her way through the competition with her beauty, quietly raised her hand and asked, "Where would we get a first song?"
Qiao Xia pointed to her head, "As a mature boy band, you should of course have the ability to arrange music independently. I will be very strict with you, is there a problem?"
“No problem,” Sun Hao answered first.
Qiao Xia then looked at the others, and they all stood up straight and said, "No problem."
Only Young Master Mu's lips moved slightly.
Before he could speak, President Wang rushed in from outside, sweating profusely. He tugged at Qiao Xia's sleeve and whispered, "Something's happened."
Qiao Xia calmly left with him, and then, apart from Young Master Mu and Jiang Xiaomian, everyone else's phone rang at almost the same time.
Outside the door, Mr. Wang, his hands trembling, clicked on the trending topic. "Ten minutes ago, two of Jiang Xiaomian's videos were suddenly posted online, followed by nearly a hundred official media outlets criticizing him by name. This is clearly a move to destroy him."
Qiao Xia opened the two videos. One was of Jiang Xiaomian wearing a fox tail and being forced to drink by customers in a KTV, and the other was of him dancing in a see-through suit in a live broadcast room.
Qiao Xia could tell that both videos were real, and that Jiang Xiaomian must have jumped in them when she was trying to raise money for her mother's medical expenses.
But whatever the reason, it cannot hide the fact that both videos are extremely explicit and could have a bad influence on children.
For a moment, Qiao Xia was also at her wits' end.
Mr. Wang took out another photo, "And this person, he said that Jiang Xiaomian's agency contract is in his hands, and he wants you to give him 20 million, otherwise he has many similar videos and will definitely continue to make trouble to ruin Jiang Xiaomian's reputation."
Qiao Xia recognized him at a glance as the boss who had signed Jiang Xiaomian to the live streaming platform. "He's completely disgraced now."
Mr. Wang asked cautiously, "Will you pay me?"
"No!" These words, spoken through gritted teeth and laced with hatred, did not come from Qiao Xia's mouth.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaomian appeared beside the two of them, while the others behind him had different expressions, but all of them had their brows furrowed.
