Chapter 66
He has been very busy these past two days. The recording of the second public ranking has ended, and some eliminated trainees are about to leave.
Ji Yan was indeed among them.
Ji Yan left one afternoon.
They had a farewell dinner the day before and exchanged contact information.
It can be considered a perfect ending.
His ranking is dramatic. Twenty-sixth, elimination by blocking position. It can also be considered a white moonlight position.
When he left, many people saw him off. He said goodbye to them one by one and only let Jie Xichao follow him to the door.
He kept on talking about how they met, his bickering with Ai Qingyuan, the fact that he didn't like singing and dancing, and how boring this show was. He said, “Brother, I’m really happy to meet you, and also Brother Heng, Wen Ze, and Pan Pan… Of course, I’m happiest to meet Brother. He said, “Brother, actually you like me too, right? You don’t even find me annoying. He said, “Brother, we—”
Xie Xichao said, "Stop."
I always feel like there's something wrong with the style of painting.
"...Well, actually I wanted to say," Ji Yan said, "I think we'll meet again in the future."
He is always cheerful, and this statement made him sound a little depressed, which was unusual.
Xie Xichao paused for two seconds and hugged him: "Yes."
He said seriously.
Ji Yan just smiled.
Before leaving, he handed Jie Xichao a business card, saying it was a task from his agent.
Jie Xichao took a look and saw a line of small words written on it, which were quite polite. The general idea is that if you want to act, you can contact this number and the salary can be negotiated.
He laughed, put the business card in his pocket and walked back.
I met Fu Wenzhe on the way.
He said, "Did Ji Yan give you a business card?"
Xie Xichao:?
He was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
Fu Wenze said: "My company heard that I have a good relationship with you, and they also came to me to inquire about it."
Xie Xichao:.
Fu Wenze asked: "Can you act?"
Nothing ever happens more than three times. He didn't want to humiliate himself again, so his tone was cautious.
Sure enough, Xie Xichao smiled embarrassedly.
Fu Wen Ze understood.
He was silent for a long time, not knowing how to comment.
Xie Xichao said, "Let's not consider this for now."
He can indeed act, but he has no preference between singing and dancing or acting.
Coming to "Super New" was an accident. He came back and wanted to enter the entertainment industry again, and happened to run into a super new audition.
But since he has chosen the draft, he will take it seriously. Don't use the idol industry as a springboard like some people do. Otherwise, fans who like his singing and dancing would probably be disappointed.
"Oh, right." He remembered something, "Why did you look for me?"
"I ran into Guan Heng and Ai Qingyuan arguing," Fu Wenze said, "so I came out."
Jie Xichao suddenly realized.
-
Guan Heng and Ai Qingyuan have indeed been quarreling recently.
It can't be said to be noisy.
Guan Heng never gets angry, even with strangers, let alone with his younger brother who works in the same company. Ai Qingyuan looked as if he was owed eight million yuan and was in a low mood, a one-sided cold war.
It's just those things.
Ranking decline, debut position, and competition.
It is precisely for this reason that Jie Xichao and Fu Wenzhe did not get involved in their affairs.
Xie Xichao did have a private chat with Guan Heng once, on the night he sent Ji Yan off. He didn't talk in depth, just said that he hadn't seen you in the dormitory recently, and Guan Heng understood what he meant.
He said, “I’m busy lately.”
Then he said, "Nothing."
So Jie Xichao also understood.
In fact, he also knew that there was nothing to talk about.
Why did the ranking decline?
Because it doesn’t attract fans and its popularity has dropped.
As for the debut position. The process is now transparent and it’s all about voting, and if you can get in it means your fans like you. As for company decision-making, Guan Heng’s direct competitor is his younger brother who works in the same company, and the two have a good relationship. What can Guan Heng say?
Jie Xichao couldn't say anything.
Ji Yanyigong discussed this matter with Jie Xichao.
Just like Jie Xichao knew that the CP between him and Ai Qingyuan and the recent debut position controversy were manipulated by Sheng Hong, he would only discuss the response strategy with Fang Qingqing instead of running to Ai Qingyuan and telling his company to stop doing this.
After all, it is difficult to have a perfect solution in the adult world, and we can only maintain a superficial balance tacitly.
It’s a pity that Ai Qingyuan didn’t understand.
One night, Jie Xichao came back from the practice room and saw Ai Qingyuan sitting in front of the mirror in a daze. He hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door: "Let's go back to the dormitory together?"
Ai Qingyuan looked up.
Jie Xichao saw confusion in his eyes.
Soon, he came to his senses.
He said, "Okay."
The two of them packed up and went out together. Sure enough, when passing the iron gate, I heard a sudden scream.
*
Ai Qingyuan said: "What the hell are they screaming about?"
He was in a bad mood and everything was not pleasing to him.
Xie Xichao:.
Of course, he couldn't say something like "Actually, we're a pretty popular couple." At the same time, it also showed that the young master probably didn't really pay much attention to the company's off-field operations.
He thought for a moment: "Maybe we haven't walked together for a long time."
This is certainly not groundless.
Xie Xichao is in a group with Ai Qingyuan, and they are in the honeymoon period among CP fans. As a result, after the second public performance, the two went back to their respective groups. In addition, Jie Xichao was still being suppressed by the program crew, and they couldn't even edit them into the same frame.
At this moment, CP fans are crying with joy. It’s purely because the CP they were supporting got back together.
Ai Qingyuan was stunned for a few seconds, then he finally realized something, and a look of discomfort was visibly evident on his face.
He said: "...what a mess."
Then he quickly skipped the topic: "Why are you so late today?"
"Write a song." Xie Xichao said.
Ai Qingyuan:.
"This B program has given you a lot of inspiration." He commented objectively.
Jie Xichao smiled.
The two walked all the way back to the dormitory, and when they were about to enter the door, Ai Qingyuan suddenly stopped.
He said: "These two days..."
"Quite fierce." Xie Xichao said.
Ai Qingyuan pursed his lips.
After a moment, he said, "...I don't want this either."
He paused again and continued to himself: "He doesn't tell me anything."
Xie Xichao was silent.
Ai Qingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Forget it."
The shadows of the trees are rustling. He stood under the tree, and for the first time, a look of confusion appeared on his face. Xie Xichao looked at his tangled expression, but he couldn't bear it after all. He said tactfully: "The talent show is very cruel. It's a competition."
Ai Qingyuan said: "...but when I came to the competition, Brother Cheng said that he and I would definitely be able to debut together."
He regretted it the moment he finished speaking.
This kind of internal decision obviously shouldn't be told to others.
But as for Jie Xichao...it should be fine?
Xie Xichao:.
He finally understood why this young master was so naive.
Behind the relationship, there are people giving advice and suggestions, someone taking care of everything, and someone working as a part-time nanny to coax the child.
He sighed, "That was then."
"Did he promise you to be C at that time?" he asked.
That's pretty straightforward.
Ai Qingyuan stopped talking.
His expression looked ugly, but it was not directed at Jie Xichao.
Xie Xichao stopped there.
He said, "Be nicer to your brother Heng and don't make things difficult for him. It's not that he doesn't want to tell you some things."
He stopped there.
Ai Qingyuan's face turned pale, and he understood this time.
-
I don’t know if Xie Xichao’s words worked.
In the following days, harmony was briefly restored in the dormitory. Fu Wen Ze finally no longer needed to rely on fitness to avoid Master Ai’s sudden emotional outbursts, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Heng was caught off guard.
He asked Jie Xichao privately: "Are you..."
Xie Xichao said: "No."
He looks innocent.
He really didn't do anything. Just said a few words.
Guan Heng didn't dare to ask any more. Xie Xichao didn't know what he was thinking during those few seconds of silence. Anyway, when he spoke again, the other party had changed the subject: "By the way, what do you think about the song selection for the third public performance?"
Xie Xichao paused.
After a moment he said truthfully:
“It’s not decided yet.”
“My agent contacted me,” he said, “and I told her to wait until the demo comes out before listening to it.”
Guan Heng smiled and said, "That's your style."
Then he said, "But if it's you... you shouldn't worry."
The tone of these words is very clever, and it is hard to tell whether it is envy or simple sighing. Jie Xichao sighed in his heart. In fact, he also felt a little worried, but not because of concern.
Two days later, the Sangong repertoire was officially released on the Internet.
Five original songs were produced by well-known producers and caused heated discussions as soon as they were released.
Of course, it’s not because of the song itself.
*
The song selection for the third public performance is a prerequisite procedure before trainees officially begin practicing.
The program team will first release the demos of the three public songs for fans to listen to, and then the fans will choose the song they most want to be sung and organize a centralized vote. The one with the most votes will automatically become the C position of the group, and the rest will be automatically formed into a group based on the top four votes.
Therefore, although this is just a fan event, it has two highlights.
First, the competition for the C position.
Second, the staffing of each group.
The first one goes without saying. The second one means that when fans of the popular C-position contestant have spare voting power, they will continue to vote for some stronger contestants to join the group in order to save the stage effect of the entire group.
This coincides with an analysis building that was very popular on the forum a few days ago.
Many people joked that Xie Xichao was going to start selecting a concubine for real with his fans this time.
This is of course a joke, and at this moment, fans are already ready for it - although it is a fan vote, generally speaking, the fan club will communicate with the company and choose the song that the idol himself wants to choose.
On this day, Ming Ling contacted Fang Qingqing and wanted to ask Jie Xichao if he had any ideas about the demo.
Fang Qingqing decided to go all out and went to find Jie Xichao in person.
Xie Xichao is not in the practice room.
This day is a rare group activity for the program.
Shooting for magazines.
Nebula's resources.
The cover of a domestic first-line magazine. Although it is not a top magazine and the group cover is only taken by the top five, this is a group that has not yet debuted after all. Having such resources is enough to show the platform's attention to the debut group.
When Fang Qingqing arrived, the staff were already setting up the scenery. Xie Xichao was standing on one side, listening carefully to the photographer explaining the precautions for shooting, while holding the clothes he was about to change in his hands.
A pure white and translucent silk shirt.
