Chapter 89
Miao Haicheng is in his early forties and is a man with a very calm and steady personality.
He knew Ai Qingyuan, but at the beginning, he didn't say much to this young master who was the center of attention, and didn't even make eye contact. Only after he finished explaining the basic precautions did he politely say hello during the break.
"Long time no see, Second Master," he said.
He went to rest and drink water, while Ai Qingyuan explained to the others: "When I first joined the company, I changed several managers. He was not originally in charge of the trainees. He was in the actor department and came over temporarily to take care of me for two months."
The reason, of course, is that the young master refuses to obey.
Everyone knows it tacitly. Xie Xichao remembered that Guan Heng once said that there was an agent who was very mean to them. Later, Ai Qingyuan asked the company to replace them. It must have been during this period.
However, this also proves one thing.
That is, Miao Haicheng is obviously a very capable person, otherwise he would not have been sent twice to accompany the prince to study.
This was soon confirmed again.
When talking about an artist that Miao Haicheng had previously coached, Ai Qingyuan honestly gave a name, which surprised everyone.
This is an actress who has just retired. Judging from her past achievements, she can be said to be at the level of a movie queen. Moreover, both before and during his retirement, he received countless praises and regrets, and his reputation was excellent.
Xie Xichao already had an idea in his mind.
After a short break, Miao Haicheng returned to the conference room and continued what he had not finished before.
Before that, he highlighted a few points of attention.
The first is to be cautious in what you say and do. The content posted on various social media including Weibo must be reviewed by the company. Of course, wanting more business is a good thing, so there will not be many restrictions on the frequency.
The second is body management and daily exercise.
Teachers will give them lessons every day, and they will start to control their weight two months before returning.
Of course, Miao Haicheng said: "Everyone should know that the frequency of the return of the draft group will be higher than that of the regular group. I still hope that everyone will make self-discipline a habit. After all, even if you don't return, you may still have activities to appear on camera."
This is actually one of the most painful things for an idol, but Miao Haicheng spoke in a calm and steady tone, and right after he finished speaking, he mentioned that the company has specialized nutritionists and psychological counselors, so it didn't sound so scary.
The third one is a cliché: no dating.
"Some companies may relax the conditions," Miao Haicheng said, "and they will help cover up privately, but Shenghong's situation is relatively rare. Shenghong's practice is that you can negotiate, but you will bear all the consequences after the news breaks."
He smiled and said, "After all, our company has no shortage of artists, let alone dedicated artists. You all came from talent shows, so you should have a deeper understanding of cherishing your fans, so I won't say much. I just want to say that cherishing your fans is also cherishing your professional career."
The meeting room was very quiet. Everyone listened silently with serious expressions on their faces.
-
After talking about the basics, the next step is to arrange the itinerary.
Miao Haicheng sent the document to the work group, and everyone clicked on it to read it while listening to his explanations item by item.
"Our first album is tentatively scheduled for two months from now," he said. "Time is tight, so after the three-day holiday, everyone should adjust their status as soon as possible. During these three days, you can go home to visit relatives or go directly to the dormitory to rest."
"The dormitory has been rented in advance." He gave an address, which was a villa area on the outskirts of the city.
Everyone was surprised, and then looked at Ai Qingyuan in unison.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
What are you looking at? It's none of his business.
He is not so spoiled that he has to live in a villa!
Miao Haicheng said calmly: "This is a company benefit. After all, you are now one of the company's cash cows."
Jie Xichao choked while drinking water.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered the sense of humor hidden beneath the agent's proper appearance.
Miao Haicheng made a small joke, then continued: "The concept planning for the first album is already underway, and the songs and dances to be practiced will be given to everyone soon. In addition, during these two months, you will also have various announcements for recording, a debut group variety show and some promotional materials. The specific shooting schedule is in the file."
Generally speaking, a newly debuted group will have limited exposure before their debut album, on the one hand to allow the team to get used to each other, and on the other hand to whet the appetite of fans.
Having said that, I have pretty much finished talking about this matter.
Miao Haicheng handed each person an envelope containing the villa key and access card, as well as the company's access card, and then said, "If you don't have any questions, you can go home. Remember to contact me on WeChat when you get back."
Several people stood up.
When they reached the door, Miao Haicheng said, "Xi Chao, please stay for a while."
Xie Xichao paused and said "OK".
-
The glass door closed again and Jie Xichao sat down again.
Miao Haicheng looked at him again and said with a smile: "You are not photogenic."
This is to praise that he looks better than he does in the camera.
Xie Xichao acted well in front of the new agent: "Thank you."
Miao Haicheng was amused: "You are so reserved, which is unlike you."
He said, "I've seen the contract you signed with the company. This should be your own idea, right?"
Now that things have been said so openly, there is no point in pretending to be innocent. Xie Xichao said honestly: "This is a consensus reached after discussing with the company."
What a consensus.
Miao Haicheng didn't expose him and said, "Okay."
"I'm keeping you here because of this situation," he said. "Your contract is a separate one, so I still have to tell you that your personal resources will still be handled by your own agent, but I'll still be responsible for your daily life and team activities.
Including some of the rules I just mentioned, you still need to follow them. ”
"I will." Xie Xichao said.
This is as it should be.
Miao Haicheng discussed the division of scope with him in detail, and Jie Xichao wrote it down one by one.
He was actually prepared to be troubled.
It can’t be said that his relationship with Sheng Hong is bad, but because of his ranking, he can be considered a rival after all.
This is also the reason why Yao Xin wanted the operating rights.
This worry is not without reason, and Xie Xichao has also prepared for the worst. But the situation seemed to be better than he thought. Miao Haicheng looked very professional and his attitude towards him was also very good.
Before leaving, Miao Haicheng remembered something and took the file bag beside him.
Xie Xichao had just been paying attention to this file bag because Miao Haicheng had never opened it from beginning to end. When the other party took it out, he realized that this was the five-man team seal he had taken during the game.
Xie Xichao: “…”
Miao Haicheng turned the magazine to his page and explained: "My little niece likes you very much."
Xie Xichao looked at his not-so-elegant self in the magazine: "..."
Miao Haicheng:.
"You have great expressiveness," he said, "whether it's on stage or during filming."
He paused and stated objectively, "It's only a matter of time before you become famous."
Xie Xichao took a pen and carefully wrote a "to" signature. As he wrote, he smiled and said, "Is this the company's beautiful expectation for me?"
"I don't know about the company." Miao Haicheng also smiled, "I personally do think highly of you."
Jie Xichao paused.
Half a second later, he finally signed the three words "Xie Xichao" and returned the poster to Miao Haicheng.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng," he said.
This time the tone was much more sincere.
Miao Haicheng knew that he understood, and stood up with a smile: "Let's go, I'll call you a car."
On the way back, Jie Xichao logged into WeChat.
The latest verification request was from Miao Haicheng. After he passed it, he added a note. A few seconds later, Miao Haicheng sent a "handshake".
Xie Xichao thought for half a second and replied with a "handshake".
Miao Haicheng's words surprised him, but it was obviously not a bad thing that his new agent was optimistic about him. His mood suddenly became much lighter, and the driver asked him, "Where are you going, Mr. Jie?"
Xie Xichao gave an address: "I'm going back home."
The driver started the car.
Soon, the car arrived at the destination.
Jie Xichao got out of the car. He heard Jing Jin's voice before he saw him. Jing Jin yelled, "Brother, you're back," and rushed out of the house like a cannonball. He was followed by his parents.
*
If Jie Xichao could make his debut successfully, Jing Jin could be said to have made a great contribution.
I don't know how she advised him, but last night when Xie Xichao was on the stage, he could still see his parents, both university professors, sitting upright in the VIP audience and waving banners with his name on them. The scene looked very scary.
I don’t know if the two students saw it.
It was almost evening and the yard was already dark. Jie Xichao pressed Jing Jin's forehead, and Jing Jin leaned back a little. She slipped out from under his hand and smiled as she went to a nearby place to get the green onions that she was going to pick.
Xie Xichao sighed helplessly, then looked at the couple at the door: "Dad, Mom."
Wu Mi had already walked towards him. Xie Jiancheng stood at the door with his hands behind his back, trying to be serious: "What did you do all night?"
Xie Xichao followed Wu Mi inside and answered his father: "Having dinner with teammates and going to the company for a meeting."
"Dad," he said, "Please be considerate of the workers. We are very busy."
Xie Jiancheng: “…”
Xie Xichao asked: "Are there any guests at home today?"
"No." Wu Mi pushed the door open and said, "Your father wouldn't let us. Originally, our relatives heard that you were coming back and wanted to come over to ask for autographs, but your father turned them down and called Xiao Jin and her family instead."
Xie Jiancheng said quietly from behind: "You will be eliminated within a month. I see you are quite popular and everyone knows you."
Xie Xichao: “…”
Look at the weird look on this old man's face.
He changed his shoes and let Jing Jin, who had just finished picking green onions, in. Then he said innocently: "How can I control this kind of thing?"
Added: "It's all Xiaojin's fault."
"She cast at least several hundred votes," he said.
Jing Jin:?
She looked incredulous. Xie Xi took the green onion from her and walked towards the kitchen: "I'm hungry. Come and eat."
The meal was a great pleasure.
At the dinner table, Wu Mi picked up some food for him and asked, "So, will we be doing group activities in the future?"
The couple has also learned a lot of new words recently.
"Yes." Xie Xichao said, "But I have a cell phone, and you can also come to the dormitory. I will go home often."
Wu Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Jiancheng's expression beside him also relaxed a little.
Xie Jiancheng couldn't help but say, "That's enough. I see there are five of you debuting, right? Do you have to compete for the first place?"
He looked serious at the moment, as if he was not the one who stood up when he heard the first place.
Xie Xichao suppressed his laughter: "Dad, this is really beyond my control."
If he could accurately predict the future, he would be like a god who has come down to earth to predict the future.
However, he also knew that the couple were still worried about his health, so he coaxed them a few more words, making the couple happy. He also sent the noisy Jing Jin away and then returned to his room.
*
Xie Xichao stayed at home for three solid days.
He is a very filial person, but unfortunately his career as an idol means he cannot always be at home with his parents. He can only come back to visit them as often as possible.
Before leaving, he specially invited Jing Jin to have a meal.
He said, "When I'm away, please visit my parents more often. They like you very much, too."
Jing Jin agreed immediately.
Jie Xichao signed all the visas requested by her classmates and friends, and on the third night, she dragged her suitcase to the dormitory.
Before going there, Xie Xichao had already had a preliminary mental estimate of the size of the dormitory.
After all, although the address reported by Miao Haicheng is remote, it is basically a wealthy area and the environment is first-class.
But when he arrived, he was still a little shocked by the size of the dormitory.
The two-story duplex villa has a total of five bedrooms upstairs and downstairs. Not only does it provide one room for each person, but it also has a dining room, kitchen, living room and a practice room in the basement. All the facilities are new, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into renting this villa.
He had said it in the small group in advance, and now Zou Yi came out to pick him up, and smiled when he saw his expression.
"Do you feel like you've become rich overnight?" he said, "I felt the same way when I first came here."
Xie Xichao was happy: "I can only feel this way if my name is on the property certificate."
The two walked in together.
When everyone else arrived, Jie Xichao was not picky about the room and went straight to the innermost room on the first floor to settle down.

These days, the five members of the debut group are resting at home, but the enthusiasm for the debut night of "Super New" has not decreased at all.
When a show just debuts, it is the time when fans are most enthusiastic about the show. The transition period from the competition to the post-competition period is also a very important period. Therefore, although everyone is on vacation at home, they are still busy with business.
All five of them expressed their gratitude through Weibo.
Xie Xichao's Weibo name has been changed to The Phoenix-Xie Xichao. He has been reading private messages these two days, and his feeling is that no matter which world it is, fans indeed have the same spiritual core.
Private messages can basically be divided into three categories.
Category 1: Husband looks at the selfie.
The second category: Wife looks at the selfie.
The third category: babies look at selfies.
Everyone knew that there were other arrangements at the moment, so the only thing that could be urged was the selfie of the main character. The fans were like a leopard chasing a syrup in a hurry, and Jie Xichao, who was being chased, silently took out his mobile phone.
That evening, everyone received a reminder of special concern.
@The Phoenix-解夕朝V:
Selfie
1 minute ago
Comment section:? ? ?
【Real selfie】
[I asked you to post a selfie, not a selfie. What am I talking about?]
[What a cruel man:)]
[Ahhhhhhh Chaochao baby, you can’t bully mommy like this! Mom's heart is broken, I thought you really posted a selfie waaaaaaa]
But less than two minutes later, another picture appeared on the homepage.
In the photo, the young boy is sitting in the yard with a vibrant garden surrounded by black railings behind him. The sun was about to set, and the sunset light fell, blurring part of the lens, but you could still see the boy's gentle and beautiful eyebrows and the smile on the corner of his mouth.
The fans who were just furious and helpless were paused in an instant.
Then, docilely and obediently:
[Brother, please send me another one, just one]
[Ahhh, so beautiful, so beautiful, baby, let me kiss you!] But why is there only one [cry]]
[Okay, I forgive you... Can you post more [pointing fingers]?]
Ai Qingyuan, who was watching from the side, was amazed.
I've seen people who can fish.
I've never seen anyone fish so well.
He said, "Xie Xichao, you must have grown up eating fish hooks in your previous life."
Xie Xichao replied calmly: "This is professional ethics."
Ai Qingyuan:?
Fu Wenze, who was passing by, kindly reminded: "It's the kind of thing you don't have."
Ai Qingyuan:!
Regardless of whether Jie Xichao grew up eating fish hooks, this Weibo post still gave fans who had been lonely for a few days a good meal. This selfie quickly received over 100,000 likes and comments, and gained countless active fans.
While fans were still holding their selfies cherishingly, TP members had already started their first announcement.
The first episode of debut group variety show was recorded.
This is what every group has to go through when they debut:
Choose a captain.
