Chapter 88
That night.
The hall, which was as bright as day, was filled with a wide variety of banquets. Men and women in gorgeous dresses and suits were walking around the banquets, holding wine glasses, and chatting with smiles from time to time. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a corner.
Xie Xichao refused the toast from unknown partners and sponsors for the twelfth time, said for the eighth time, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and I'm still recovering from my illness, and adjusted his stiff smile for the ten thousandth time.
And signing autographs for people in the industry who claim to be his fans.
When he signed in at the 32nd time, he finally got someone to rescue him.
Fang Qingqing wore a pair of black high heels today, and she looked very stylish when she walked. Her face was filled with a festive smile. She said gently, "Please make way, everyone, please make way," while pulling Jie Xichao out.
When she reached a secluded place, her expression immediately changed.
She first hurriedly looked at Jie Xichao's face, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he showed no signs of being drunk.
"I was so scared." She said, "How come you became like this after I just walked for a while? I felt like you were about to be drowned when I saw you just now."
Xie Xichao also looked innocent: "I don't know."
Fang Qingqing: “…”
"Forget it." She said, "It's normal."
After all, the one standing in front of them right now is the C position with the biggest gap and the most stable in the three super rookie sessions. This C position also came from a small company and has a bright future.
Being envied is inevitable.
Of course, no matter how much they are envied, it is still theirs.
Thinking of this, Fang Qingqing became proud again.
Jie Xichao didn't know what she was thinking, he just felt that the smile on her face was becoming more and more weird.
But since Fang Qingqing was here, he could just leave after completing his mission: "Sister, then I will go with Brother Zhou first?"
He was talking about the driver assigned to them by Nebula.
"You guys are going to a dinner party, right?" Fang Qingqing still had a smile on her face and waved at him, "Go ahead, they've almost finished their meal, so they don't need you for the rest."
Xie Xichao breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked out along the corridor and met a few more fans along the way. By the time he got into the car that came to pick him up, another ten minutes had passed.
This was a medium-sized nanny car with four rows in a 2-2-1-3 format. The front rows were already full, so he closed the door and sat in an empty seat in the last row.
The person sitting next to him was wearing a baseball cap and playing with his phone. He didn't even look up and said sarcastically, "Hey, the big star is back."
A faint voice came from the front row: "Ai Qingyuan, why don't you try being sarcastic again?"
Xie Xichao said: "...Everyone calm down."
No one in the front row spoke anymore. Ai Qingyuan turned the phone around in his hand and then fell silent.
After a while, he asked, "Hot pot?"
Zou Yi, who was sitting in front of him, said, "Well, I have reserved a seat. I have contacted Xiao Yan and the others, and they said they are eating and will come over to play later."
So the car started calmly and a group of people drove to their destination.
At this moment, exactly three hours have passed since the final debut results of the third season of "Super Rookie" were announced.
-
The heater was on in the car, and the coldness that Jie Xichao had felt when he walked here just now was finally dispelled a little.
After the live broadcast ended, they became busy. First there were various handovers, then there were the farewells to the remaining trainees. The packing up that was supposed to take place in the dormitory ended up lasting until after midnight.
After the cleanup was completed, the celebration banquet began.
So the five people were taken to the celebration banquet like puppets.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when we finally gathered in the car.
Xie Xichao hadn't stayed up so late in the past eight hundred years, and he was stuck in there for a while. To be honest, he was confused.
Confused but unable to sleep, he was leaning against the window playing with his cell phone. He had not been playing for five minutes when the person in front of him knocked on the back of the chair. He looked up and saw Zou Yi handing him a pillow.
He said softly, "If you are tired, just take a nap or go home directly. We are all familiar people anyway."
Xie Xichao took it and smiled: "It's okay."
“It’s rare.”
Zou Yi stopped talking.
Jie Xichao turned on the screen of his mobile phone.
Thinking of the final debut list, he suddenly felt a little magical.
Of course not—
Although it may sound a bit narcissistic to say this, he already knew before the final that he was a foregone conclusion.
But he didn't expect that the entire final debut list would be so friendly to him.
Needless to say, Ai Qingyuan and Fu Wenzhe have been roommates together since the first semester. Yun Pan was the child he had rescued from Wen Yao, so he was close to him. As for the remaining Zou Yi, after all, he was in the same group with the Second Master.
Moreover, at the last moment, Zou Yi obviously regarded him as his spiritual support.
Xie Xichao... Xie Xichao thought in disbelief: Could it be that I really hired someone to organize this show while I was sleepwalking?
This is not just his idea.
At this moment in the forum, countless high-rise buildings have been built just to discuss the debut list from three hours ago.
-
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
On Weibo, hot searches appeared one after another. Since the live broadcast began, the forum's daily activity has reached an unprecedented level. Not only the special editions, but even the big entertainment editions outside have become special groups.
Of course, the most mentioned person is the most eye-catching protagonist tonight:
Jie Xichao.
When Jie Xichao was playing SOLO, posts were refreshed almost every second, and when he was the C, the screen was full of congratulations. He truly lived up to his reputation as the C position.
And at this moment, after the carnival, the forum finally regained some sanity.
[So, everyone, let’s talk about tonight’s debut night and the debut group. What do you think of the whole thing? 】
I'll go first: Cool
1L
Who is so happy? I am so happy. I am twice as happy.
That's a difference of more than 40 million votes. He really brought up the popularity of the show.
I'm a good fan of good
2L
TT, the baby who always surprises us, feels lost when he thinks that he won’t have a stage in the near future…
3L
Ahhh, don’t say that!
4L
Congratulations are all said, the debut group has a pretty good lineup
Although I am a fan of only one person, I feel like I can follow him, and they seem to be really familiar with each other, it's unbelievable.jpg
I was especially worried that the show made him seem like he only knew his younger brother from the same company. I thought he had become socially anxious.
5L
Hahaha, is the person upstairs Zou Yifen?
Miserable
6L
As a bystander watching the fun, I put myself in the shoes of each group and my feeling is that the debut group must be happy, and the ranking is quite reasonable, there is no regret about the sudden appearance. It is a pity that there are a few in the non-debut group, but they really can't debut based on their popularity.
Although this show usually looks quite dramatic, the debut night was surprisingly peaceful.
It's amazing
Oh, and one more thing. I feel like if I were a fan of Jie Xichao, I would be so happy. Not only would I be the C of the group, but I would also be thanked by other members of the debut group one after another. What kind of group pet treatment is this?
7L
You reap what you sow.
8L
Yes, although we don’t know what happened in private, it is a fact that those who were on the same stage as Xie Xichao have ascended to different degrees.
I think this alone is very valuable for a contestant on a competition show.
9L
Our building is better.
There was a message on the forum saying that Jie Xichao carried the entire group. Do you think the other families will be able to break through?
Oh, but if we leave this thread, people will say that the forum is full of fans, so tonight we are all random numbers.jpg
10L
The original thing
However, the current trend of the forum is probably because C team was mocked for controlling the situation in the finals week.
In fact, fans are all in the super topic. Who visits this kind of public entertainment board? Show fans are always young and always have tears in their eyes. At best, they are just spectators.
And what he said is all true, the real owner admits it
Otherwise, why don't other people thank the fans one by one during such an important moment like the debut night? Even if they want to sell homosexuality, they should divide into groups. It's impossible to sell it around one person. I think the main character is much more sober and grateful than the fans.
But then again, it's okay if other families break their defenses
Anyway, Xie Xichao's family can fight four alone.
11L
Thank you passerby, I feel good again
12L
Let's not talk about the trivial things in the fan circle. It's just a small area. To be honest, most people chase stars for fun, no matter whether they are top or back, except for the little Internet girls, who has nothing to do every day and wants to fight, especially when the main characters have such a good relationship
Let’s continue talking about the debut group. What a fantastic configuration.
I am a natural fan of the group. I was really attracted by the debut night and I feel that this group will be very strong.
13L
Right, right, right
Although I'm not a fan of Zou Yifan, his debut was really good. To be honest, I've had enough of Audition.
Let's think about it, Jie Xi is the ACE and Fu Wenzhe is the rapper. There should be no controversy about these two. Should the lead singer be beaten? What about the lead dancer?
14L
I remember that Chaoxin will release the official positioning, wait and see
The main dancer should be Xiao Ai
15L
I think it's ACE+Face. I think a lead singer who can sing high notes is more suitable. I hope it's suitable for introduction.
Anyway, more vocals is a good thing. In the previous fan meeting, we can see that Xiao Ai and Fu can sing. As long as the singing parts are distributed properly, this group should be very good when they open the microphone in the future.
There is another captain
I feel that except for Pan and Xiao Ai, who are not very stable, the other three are quite suitable
But Chao is not feeling well. I hope it’s not him.
16L
I'm looking forward to the group show.
17L
I found that this year's debut night was the most peaceful. In the past, the debut nights were all chaotic, with the debut group fighting with the non-debut group, and the debut group fighting with each other. Now they are actually discussing the positioning, and I feel that the fans of each group are very happy.
Although I mentioned forum control and so on, after looking around, I found that only a few people were being sarcastic.
There are a lot of fans who are ready to join the group. I am optimistic that this group will be a big hit.
18L
The popularity is already very high now. It has been a long time since a new group has dominated the hot search list, and the activity under the hot search is particularly high.
I have always said that this year's Super New is the most popular among the three years, and now it finally feels true.
19L
Since this is a forum, I'll just say it straight...
It's not unreasonable to say that Jie Xichao is the Purple Star. I feel like he made the whole show "right". He had met with the group many times before their debut. Everyone had more or less some kind of butterfly effect with him. What about off-stage?
In fact, I think Jie Xichao is the one who truly understands what an idol is.
I have the impression that he never urged for tickets, and he didn't play the victim. The third performance was simply a sacrifice for his fans (of course, he has the ability to handle it). I feel that many of his actions are actually guiding the fan circle to develop in a healthy direction.
TOP is in control of the show, and TOP is in control of the show. The demons and monsters who can't stand this atmosphere probably ran away, and the rest are of course normal people.
20L
Master, I understand.
21L
Group fans reported, so what is my group flower name?
22L
Ah, this is really playing. Now there are two directions. One is to directly use the debut group meaning Phoenix, and the other is to use the abbreviation TP homophonic
The official fan name seems to have been revealed, it's Flame
23L
Little flame? It's cute.
24L
Can the flower name be called Little Phoenix? qwq feels sweet and cool
25L
To be honest, the flower name is not controlled by fans...
26L
My abbreviation TP stands for voting, so it is better to call it the voting group. After all, it is indeed a show group formed by voting. When we return to voting in the future, this name can also remind fans not to forget their original intentions (.
27L
Ahhhh, I'm dying of laughter...
28L
Oh, don't worry about the passers-by. I really like the meaning of the phoenix.
From now on, our group's nickname in my place will be Little Phoenix.
29L
OK, add me.
30L
What should I do? I'm already missing him after only one day of debut. Even though he doesn't have many screen times on the show, there's really no hope for him after his debut. Sheng Hong, I advise you to quickly film something for me.
There is still one album to go, so three days of rest is enough, right? Send me a notice quickly.
31L
Hell is empty, the devil is on earth
But I second
32L
I think there is no rush for the first series.
But can you release the interview radio station, group variety show debut documentary, and dormitory daily life first? rwkk
The most important thing is that I am responsible! I'm worried!
33L
So what are the debut group doing now? They all have their phones, right? Let’s post a 18-square selfie to show off their strength.
34L
*
You have to post a selfie, but of course not now.
After the live broadcast ended, the five people were immediately added to a WeChat group. The staff in the group reminded them of the things they should pay attention to after their debut. One of the things they should do was not to post on Weibo without permission. They could write a short essay first, but it had to be reviewed before being posted together.
As for Weibo names, they will also be changed to a unified format in due course.
So at this moment, those who need to rest are resting, and those who are too excited to sleep are holding their mobile phones in the dark to think about short essays.
The two people who were so excited that they couldn't sleep were Yun Pan and Zou Yi.
Jie Xichao was scrolling through his phone aimlessly, then he opened Candy Crush Saga and played a few rounds, successfully hypnotizing himself. With the pillow given by Zou Yi, he slept well, and when he woke up, the car had arrived at the destination of the dinner.
Several people booked a private room, but it was already early in the morning and there was almost no one in the hot pot restaurant.
The waiter brought them the menu. Jie Xichao still had a sleepy look on his face, so Zou Yi took over the task of ordering food automatically.
They hadn’t had a good meal for several months, and now Yun Pan and Ai Qingyuan’s faces were glowing. After a summary, we found that except Zou Yi who can't eat spicy food, everyone has a strong taste.
Zou Yi thought about ordering a spicy hotpot, as he was used to taking care of people. Ai Qingyuan spoke.
"It's okay, let's match them up." he said.
Then he thought of something and raised his chin towards Jie Xichao, "Look, that guy over there also has a fragile stomach, let him get a taste of it."
When the steaming pot was brought up, Xie Xichao finally woke up.
Zou Yigang scooped out a spoonful of meat, and seeing that he had woken up, he put it directly into his bowl. Xie Xichao smiled:
"Thank you, Mr. Zou."
He went to get a dipping sauce, and the hot meat, just taken out of the pot, was rolled in the oil dish, which made it tender, spicy and fresh.
It turns out that you should never underestimate how much a young boy eats.
Especially young boys who have just eaten it for a few months.
Xie Xichao originally thought that everyone was having a dinner together to start their future collective life, but he didn't expect that these people would be gluttons to the end. So-called dinner together meant a real dinner together in the physical sense. As soon as the dishes were served, no one cared to talk and they all just buried their heads in eating.
When he had almost finished eating, Ai Qingyuan cleared his throat.
"Well..." he said, "From now on, it'll just be the few of us together."
"I have a straightforward temper," he said. "If you have any opinions about me, you can tell me directly. I will change it if I can. If I can't, I will tell you in time."
The expression is very sincere.
It seems that Guan Heng's incident really taught him a good lesson.
Yun Pan, who was listening to him while eating tripe, almost choked.
Zou Yi stroked Yun Pan's back and said, "Me too."
He was visibly happy today; the tense feeling he had during the game was nowhere to be seen. He was the one who was least familiar with everyone at the table. He was a little nervous, but he continued, "Everyone can talk to me directly if you have anything."
He paused and added, "I can basically change them all."
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
He said quietly, "Teacher Zou, did you do this on purpose?"
Zou Yi: “…”
All right.
That's not what he meant.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the next three people did not make any self-introductions. When they were almost done eating, the door was pushed open and Guan Heng and Ji Yan walked in.
-
Almost the moment Guan Heng came in, Ai Qingyuan stopped using his chopsticks.
He froze visibly for a second, but Guan Heng touched his shoulder when he passed by him and said calmly, "Don't look like you've seen a ghost."
Ai Qingyuan shut his mouth.
Ji Yan came in with a smile and gave Li Xichao a hug first. Then he leaned over to look at the bottom of the pot and said exaggeratedly, "Oh my god, you guys ate it all up so cleanly that you didn't even leave any for me."
He simply created an atmosphere of his own. As soon as he spoke, everyone present laughed.
Xie Xichao was also happy.
While making room for Ji Yan, he said, "Don't you see what time it is? Who told you not to come earlier?"
"You're wrongly accusing me of that." Ji Yan blinked at him. "Teacher Guan and I were here a long time ago. You guys only left after watching the group night and sat in the audience, Teacher Guan, right?"
Everyone was a little surprised, and Ai Qingyuan even raised his eyes.
These two didn't come here for food. A few people chatted for a while and took a few photos together for posting on Weibo. Then Guan Heng stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
As soon as he stood up, Ai Qingyuan also stood up and walked away.
The people in the room had heard a little about their affairs, but didn't take it seriously.
Fu Wenzhe and Zou Yi were chatting in low voices, while Yun Pan lowered his head and concentrated on replying to messages, which were said to be sent by his brothers.
Jie Xichao walked to the corridor to get some fresh air, and Ji Yan walked up to his side.
Ji Yan took out a box of mints from his pocket, gave him one, and said in a vague voice: "Sure, brother."
He smiled: "More than 90 million votes, did Xiao Ai cry?"
Xie Xichao was amused by him: "What impression does he have in your eyes?"
"I don't know what impression he has on me." Ji Yan said seriously, "I only know that you are already like the Gu King in everyone's eyes."
Jie Xichao hit him on the forehead.
Ji Yan continued to talk nonsense for a while.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Jie Xichao really missed Ji Yan's loud and lively energy.
Ji Yan said he was about to join the crew. Xie Xichao asked what drama he was acting in and was a little surprised: "The second male lead?"
"Yeah." Ji Yan said, "Although he's a sweet idol, they said my image is more suitable, so they let me play the second male lead directly."
This is a good opportunity for him who is still in the rookie stage.
Xie Xichao was quite happy for him, and then he heard Ji Yan say, "So, brother, are you under Sheng Hong's management now?"
"Yes." Xie Xichao said.
He didn't make the contract very clear.
This also involves a confidentiality agreement.
He thought Ji Yan would think this was not a good choice, but Ji Yan just frowned slightly and said, "Sheng Hong is actually not bad. The most prominent boy band of this generation on the market is Newstar, right? What about the girl group led by Teacher Li? Although Sheng Hong's own boy band is not as good as Newstar, I have observed that the planning ideas are still good."
There is another very important point. If Shenghong is an operating company, then the return of its boy and girl groups will definitely avoid the debut groups. Although there are still others without them, at least there are several fewer competitors.
"When I think about how they targeted you during the game, and you still have to make money for them after the game," he said, feeling a little depressed. "I feel like I'm losing out."
Jie Xichao smiled mysteriously.
Ji Yan looked at his smile and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Brother, you won't..."
Xie Xichao said: "I didn't say anything."
Ji Yan understood what he meant and gave him a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being my brother."
"That's fine." He said, "Now it depends on how Sheng Hong plans. However, the little prince is in your group, and I feel that Sheng Hong should pay a lot of attention to your group."
*
I don’t know whether Jie Xichao takes it seriously or not, but it’s true that he is very strict.
In addition to the Weibo review, they received a notification from the work group the next day saying that they had to go to the company for a meeting.
Xie Xichao originally wanted to go back home, but now it was too late considering the time, so the few of them stayed in a hotel for one night and went to the company the next day. Fortunately, I was told after I arrived that it was just a meeting with the new agent and some initial contact with each other, and it would still be a fake.
Ai Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I thought so. I was still tired during the competition."
Since returning from the dinner, his mood has visibly improved. He was talking nonsense without restraint at this moment. The staff member who was in contact with them obviously knew him and walked away holding back his laughter.
Several people sat down in the conference room.
After a while, the glass door was pushed open and a man walked in.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a pair of rimless glasses on his nose, and had a gentle appearance. After entering the door, he looked around first, his eyes lingered on Jie Xichao for a moment, then he sat down with a smile: "Sorry, I'm late."
"Hello everyone." He said, "I am your new agent, Miao Haicheng. You can call me Brother Cheng."
