Chapter 41
Walking into the practice room, Jie Xichao folded his umbrella and took a sip of water.
He ate faster than usual today, and since there was nothing to practice recently, there were almost no people in the practice room at the moment.
Not long after, Ji Yan rushed in: "Brother, did you run into Xia Ruiyan just now?"
Xie Xichao said: “Yes.”
"I was just saying, someone just told me that they saw him having lunch with you." Ji Yan said.
He paused and scratched his head, "He doesn't look very happy."
This is quite strange.
Although Xia Ruiyan is known to have a bad temper, he has always done a good job in saving face. It is quite rare to see people showing bad face in public. Although Ji Yan always thought he was a hypocrite.
"Yeah." Xie Xichao took a sip of water, "Because of me."
Ji Yan: “…”
"ah?"
Xie Xichao briefly told him what had happened before. Ji Yan's expression remained in disbelief at first, but the more he listened, the more he frowned: "No, there's nothing wrong with him."
"He doesn't even know you well, but he's trying to get you to join him in a couple relationship." He said, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Maybe." Xie Xichao said.
Then he paused and commented calmly, "This person has a bad character. It's best not to associate with him."
Ji Yan opened his mouth and was stunned.
Jie Xichao is rarely so direct.
In his impression, no matter how much he disagreed with something, as long as it did not touch his bottom line, Xie Xichao would not express it openly.
After a long time, he might be able to figure out some tricks.
His brother is the kind of person who is strict with himself but lenient with others.
He has his own very strict set of principles in doing things, but he will not impose these principles on others to make demands. If you have different opinions, just laugh it off and change the subject.
Xia Ruiyan probably really touched his brother's bottom line.
He calmed down and thought: "Did he do it casually? Or..."
"It's not a coincidence." Xie Xichao said concisely, "Yun Pan's ranking has moved up this time."
Ji Yan was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly cursed "Fuck".
Although in the eyes of fan girls, every couple they support is real. But in fact, all the artists in this circle know that more than 80% of the so-called popular CPs are the result of exchange of interests.
This is something that looks simple on the surface, but is actually very complicated.
At least Jie Xichao knew that most artists had already regarded promoting CPs as part of their job.
There are basically three types of CP.
The first type is the one that grows wildly.
This is more common among popular contestants, such as Jie Xichao.
The higher the popularity, the larger the fan base. Among fans of all kinds, there are bound to be some who like to ship CPs. Generally speaking, in a talent show or an idol group, the popularity of the two popular CPs may be very different, but they will definitely not all be unpopular contestants.
This kind of natural CP has a very obvious feature, that is, most of the protagonists have a good relationship, or there is enough chemistry between their personalities.
The former is represented by the CP of Ji Yan and Jie Xichao, while the latter can be represented by the example of Ai Qingyuan and Jie Xichao.
The second type is a deliberate transaction agreed upon between the two parties.
This is much more realistic.
Because of the need to increase the popularity of the program team or the two parties involved in the CP promotion, when both companies or the contestants themselves feel that such business will bring benefits to each other, they will conduct certain negotiations in private.
Or just tacit understanding.
This is often seen in the promotion of movies and TV series.
For the first two types, everyone is used to them. Especially the second one. At this time, whether you can get along well in private is another matter, but you must show that you have a good relationship in public.
This is dedication.
But Xia Ruiyan obviously does not belong to any of them.
Neither Jie Xichao nor Ji Yan knew why he and Yun Pan were tied together, but Jie Xichao could guess a little bit that it was probably the company's instruction. Because judging from the weight of his first stage performance, although Yun Pan is a secondary push, it can be seen that the company has not completely ruled out the possibility of his debut.
In other words, if Yun Pan’s popularity could surpass Xia Ruiyan’s.
It is very likely that their companies will change people to promote them.
Nowadays, the popularity of CP economy is obvious. It is beneficial rather than harmful for companies to speculate in the same company. It not only allows them to test the waters, but also ensures that the benefits are kept within the family.
But Xia Ruiyan himself may not think so.
In the early days when Yun Pan's popularity was not high, he could enrich his own personality in disguise by creating a CP with Yun Pan, which was good for him.
But now Yunpan’s popularity has risen.
Then, he is no longer a tool to create hype for Xia Ruiyan, but a threat.
How to unbind?
Reduce contact in front of the camera.
or--
Change one.

Although Ji Yan is usually carefree and only jokes about CP, he is quite clear about the ins and outs involved. After Xie Xichao gave it a little hint, he understood.
He really didn't know what to say.
"So," he said, "he used Panpan and kicked her away, and now he's here to suck your blood."
The third type of CP hype model is also the most disgusting one.
One-sided blood-sucking marketing.
Abbreviated as reverse posting.
Although Xie Xichao's popularity is now comparable to Xia Ruiyan, it is obvious to the naked eye that he will never stop there. In addition, Yao Xin is extremely overwhelmed at the moment. Let alone hyping up the CP, he is still exploring his normal business operations and will not think about this aspect.
For Xia Ruiyan, having an affair with Jie Xichao would bring him every benefit and no harm.
Ji Yan was almost laughing out of anger: "Now who can tell the difference between him and a genius? He is really good at getting something for nothing."
Compared to him, Xie Xichao was much calmer.
"Anyway," he said, "stay away from him."
Ji Yan snapped his fingers: "I know."
He knew that Jie Xichao treated him as a friend and that was why he reminded him specifically.
"But brother, are you really not going to avoid others when choosing a group?" Ji Yan said, "I feel it is necessary to at least avoid the top five."
Although he felt happy when Jie Xichao said that.
"I don't like being restricted." Xie Xichao said, "If a song I like appears, I'll feel regretful if it's not chosen. It's better not to make any promises to others in the first place."
Ji Yan suddenly realized.
Xie Xichao paused and asked him, "You really don't want to be in the same group with me?"
Ji Yan's expression paused slightly.
This was the second time Xie Xichao asked him about this.
The first time was very obscure. After the first rankings were announced.
He asked Ji Yan.
Do you want to stay longer?
At that time, Ji Yan understood what he meant, but he just laughed it off.
He knew Jie Xichao wanted to help him. At that time, he was a little curious about how Jie Xichao would help him. He thought that he would not take the initiative to create a CP with him and bleed him... He was daydreaming late at night and wanted to slap himself when he woke up the next morning.
As expected.
He is the only one who is impure.
His brother never takes shortcuts.
He paused: "Brother, do you want to help me stay?"
Being in the same group with Jie Xichao, regardless of anything else, at least the stage effect can be guaranteed. As a friend of Jie Xichao, he knows best how familiar Jie Xichao is with the program crew's routine.
Even though it sounds ridiculous.
But he believed that as long as he wanted, Jie Xichao could even get him to the debut position.
But he was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
He smiled and said, "I am not suitable for the stage. Let's leave the position to someone who needs it."
He said this, which means he has made up his mind.
Xie Xichao did not insist and said, "Okay."
He was so direct that Ji Yan wanted to be a jerk again. He said, "Brother, is this considered partiality? This is not like you, is it?"
He felt very happy.
Finally I defeated that brat Ai Qingyuan.
Xie Xichao glanced at him and said, "I'm not the director of the program, and I can't control the vote pool. How can this be considered partiality?"
He just felt that, compared to people with evil intentions, people with pure personalities, even if they were slightly weaker, were more suitable for that position.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Ji Yan is also willing to be an idol.
If you don’t want to, just forget it. Don’t force it.
Ji Yan blinked: "What if I really want to debut?"
Xie Xichao thought about it for a moment.
"Okay." He said, "Practice three more hours every day first. Once you have passed the basic skills test, we can move on to the next step."
Ji Yan: “…”
He said sincerely: "Brother, it's amazing to have you in the domestic entertainment industry."
Not only does this bring benefits to the audience, but it also helps to cultivate a steady stream of idol resources for the audience.
Who wouldn't praise this as a great good man?
*
Xia Ruiyan's story was revealed.
After Xie Xichao made it clear that day, the other party never contacted him again.
It is also a manifestation of tact.
Xie Xichao is actually a person who is afraid of trouble. Xia Ruiyan didn't bother him again, so he just pretended that nothing had happened. The only trouble was that for two days in a row, someone at the door asked him:
"Teacher Xiaojie, didn't you go with Brother Yan today?"
This obviously meaningful inquiry was interrupted by Ai Qingyuan one time when they were working together with Jie Xichao.
He didn't know that Jie Xichao and Xia Ruiyan had some friction two days ago.
He was annoyed to death when Xia Ruiyan came to him. He didn't like this person in the first place, so he was completely confused when someone asked: "Why leave? Are they familiar with each other?"
Not only did he say that, he also turned around and asked Jie Xichao: "When did you become familiar with Xia Ruiyan?"
Xie Xichao: “…”
He said, "Well, we happened to have dinner together before."
Ai Qingyuan said "Oh", and then said: "Did you hear it? It was a coincidence before, but it's not a coincidence now."
The fans outside the door had wonderful expressions.
That evening, a certain entertainment forum posted a picture and text post, and several hot posts went straight to the top of the forum.
Ji Yan secretly hid in the quilt to surf the Internet at night. He originally wanted to patrol to see if there were any CP posts about Xia Ruiyan and his brother, but he didn't see any trace of Xia Ruiyan. The whole screen was full of our Yuan Chao, which was indeed real.
He clicked in and took a look at the content, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
How to say it.
Silly but useful.
It can be considered a meritorious service.
-
Ai Qingyuan didn't know whether he had made any contribution or not.
He has been struggling these past two days.
He asked Xie Xichao: "What song did you choose?"
Xie Xichao said: “I don’t know.”
Ai Qingyuan choked.
The other two people were there when he said this. Add Yunpan who came here every day for snacks in the past two days. Guan Heng and Fu Wenze were used to it and pretended not to hear it. Only Yun Pan asked him very seriously and innocently: "Do you still want to be in the same group with Brother Xi Chao?"
"You've already lost twice," he said.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
Brat!
He said, "What do you know!"
Went to the bathroom to calm down.
Yun Pan blinked.
On the other side, Xie Xichao stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth without even looking up:
"It's okay, ignore him."
Fu Wenze replied: "He's having a seizure."
Yun Pan opened his mouth into an "O" shape.
He swallowed the chocolate silently, but after a while, he pulled Jie Xichao's sleeve.
"Brother Xichao." He said in a low voice.
Xie Xichao lowered his head: "Hmm?"
He pinched Yun Pan's face.
It seems like it has grown some meat.
Then he heard Yun Pan say, "Brother Xichao, can I be in a group with you, Second Master?"
