In a large flat in a high-end residential complex in the heart of City C, Feng You, the male singer who had recently become very popular thanks to his outstanding performance in variety shows, was leaning back on the sofa, watching the episode in which he had appeared on the oversized TV screen at home.
His own appearance was prominently displayed on the TV. It was now showing him and another team of guests playing an interactive game. Feng You appeared sunny and handsome in the camera, always smiling, refreshing, humble and polite.
At this moment, he was captured on camera, acting like a gentleman, carefully shielding the female guest next to him from the water that might be splashed on her. The two of them happened to look back, and the other raised their eyes, creating a scene of mutual gaze.
In fact, Feng You himself did not remember such a scene during the recording, and he did not expect that this shot was not only captured by the program crew, but also given a close-up and added post-production.
Putting himself in the shoes of an outsider, he felt the scene was heightened with a touch of ambiguity, and the glances between them were particularly pleasing to the eye. Unable to resist taking a bite of his apple, Feng You burst into laughter in his room. In reality, he and the female guest hadn't even made eye contact that day, let alone any ambiguous intentions. Many of his gestures were simply out of habit, showing his care for the female guest. He hadn't expected to capture so many details.
Not long ago, his company signed him up as a guest on Yuexiang Entertainment's new weekly variety show. Initially, no one had high expectations, as his company had never dealt with Yuexiang Entertainment before, and Fengyou himself had no particularly outstanding variety show experience. Yet, he unexpectedly made the cut.
I have to give Yuexiang Entertainment some credit. Both the company and he felt lucky. There are so many more famous artists than him, yet he made the cut. And the show he recorded ultimately received fantastic reviews, especially his performance, which garnered a lot of attention.
After carefully studying Feng You's appearance on the variety show, the company concluded that he was indeed a good fit. He has a cheerful and outgoing personality, and he was generous and graceful in his interactions with other guests and during the game sessions. He was relaxed and playful on the show, exuding an immediately charming aura.
Everyone in the company, including Feng You's agent, began to reflect. Because of his singing voice and song types, they had been creating a nobleman image for Feng You. Now it seems that they are really no match for Yuexiang Entertainment and have always chosen the wrong path for him.
His previous image as a noble young man did not make him famous, but this episode of the show made him suddenly popular. The main reason is that Feng You is a sunny boy with an extroverted personality who is very popular wherever he goes. It is not good enough for him to imitate the image of a noble young man.
Now that the show has unexpectedly become a hit, the company has decided to let him showcase his true charm. He's been going down the wrong path for the past few years! Fortunately, he forgot the character the company had assigned him and played according to his own personality when he appeared on the show, and he became an instant hit!
I don’t know how the production team of Yuexiang Entertainment discovered this trait of his!
As soon as that episode aired, Fengyou's recently released song instantly gained popularity, and his social media accounts gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight. Many people commented on his performance, saying it was truly dazzling, like he was the perfect ideal type, and that the real him was truly captivating.
Just one episode of a variety show not only made him gain popularity, but also brought him many invitations.
Feng You, who hadn't properly watched that episode yet, returned home from work tonight and immediately searched for it and watched it in its entirety. The more he watched, the more he realized how well Yue Xiang Entertainment filmed it! They filmed it all day, and the final release was only two hours, but those two hours were packed with highlights!
Each guest had a distinct personality, and even several segments he didn't find particularly interesting were made extraordinarily funny and exciting by Yuexiang Entertainment's magic. His own highlights were all included without any compromise, so it's no wonder many people say they've become his fans.
On the show, Feng You was not only having fun and letting go, but his previously unknown rich athletic ability and good communication and execution abilities were also on display, making him very popular with the audience.
Because of his good performance in that episode, he successfully arranged with Yuexiang Entertainment to appear on the second show three weeks later.
Feng You had debuted three or four years earlier, but his career had been lukewarm. Unexpectedly, the company's casual attempt to sign him up for a program had catapulted him to fame. It's a case of trying to plant flowers but not blooming, while planting willows by accident yields a beautiful shade.
Over the past two days, his agent has been urging him to build good relationships with the Yuexiang Entertainment team in the upcoming show, hoping to secure more opportunities for collaboration. Their company has already made plans to deepen their partnership with Yuexiang Entertainment and is currently in discussions.
Coincidentally, in the episode he appeared in, Su Yin, the boss of Yuexiang Entertainment Company, was also present. After the recording was over, she invited the guests and all the staff to dinner.
Feng You naturally didn't reject his agent's reminder. Naturally outgoing and well-connected, he wasn't worried about leaving a bad impression on the people at Yuexiang Entertainment during the recording process.
However, he also knew that too many people wanted to appear on Yuexiang Entertainment's variety shows. Even if he had good relationships and performed well, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to continue recording for a long time.
In fact, I was extremely lucky to be able to sign a contract to record two episodes of their program.
Thinking of Su Yin, Feng You couldn't help but lose his focus, pressing the pause button on his remote control and falling into deep thought. Before this, he hadn't paid much attention to the boss of Yuexiang Entertainment. Su Yin's appearance on the show that day, without anyone being informed, was truly a coincidence.
After all, there aren't too many people in the circle who want to curry favor with Su Yin. If they had known that she would be present at that show, many people would have probably made various "preparations".
It was difficult for people in the entertainment industry to be particularly impressed by ordinary people. But to be honest, when he first met Su Yin that day, he did fall in love with her at first sight.
It wasn't so much about resources, but rather Su Yin's personality and performance that really suited his taste. Feng You particularly liked women like her who were graceful, capable, and intelligent. His heart fluttered when he accidentally saw her walk into the set during the recording of the show and quietly chat with the director.
It was such a large filming crew, and originally everyone was very busy and serious. As soon as Su Yin walked in, everyone in the team unconsciously looked at her with special respect. Even the director listened to her opinions and views very carefully.
Although Feng You is not an actor, she has been in the circle for several years after all. She can see that the way these staff members look at her is definitely not the kind of look they give to their superiors, but a genuine respect and appreciation for her as a person.
Occasionally, when he caught a glimpse of her talking seriously with the staff about work, Feng You felt his heart pounding, and he even got distracted twice, but fortunately it was not edited into the clip.
This feeling became even more pronounced when she invited everyone to dinner after the show's recording. Dining at the same table, seeing her up close and hearing her conversation, Su Yin's charm became even more palpable. It wasn't just her youth and beauty, but also her unique aura, completely different from that of ordinary artists and staff members. It was a powerful aura that only someone with extreme self-confidence, self-respect, and a certain status possessed.
People feel a little tipsy when they get close to her. It is hard to believe that such a young girl is already ahead of many CEOs of veteran entertainment companies in terms of economy, strength, status, resources and achievements.
However, throughout the whole day, Su Yin did not pay any special attention to Feng You. She just exchanged a few polite words with him, acting in a completely businesslike manner.
Thinking about the other party's identity again, Feng You also retreated a little.
But after thinking about it, he saw the paused picture on the TV, which was his own handsome face. Feng You suddenly felt more confident. He just wanted to have a serious relationship. If he was more proactive, there shouldn't be any chance, right?
Thinking of this, Feng You actually looked forward to the next recording session even more. Unfortunately, Su Yin didn't show up that day. He had just gotten lucky the previous time.
Since there is no opportunity, then take the initiative to create one! He persuaded his agent to bring him along when discussing cooperation with Yuexiang Entertainment, and worked hard to create an opportunity to meet Su Yin.
In Su Yin's office at Yuexiang Entertainment, she took time out to meet with them, accepted the relevant information they handed over, and politely said she would give a reply within the week. As for the young male artist she had met once, Su Yin was completely oblivious to the burning gaze he was giving her.
After finishing the business and preparing to send them away, Feng You finally couldn't help but politely asked her if he could add a contact number. Su Yin reacted a little late and gave him his work number politely and distantly.
Feng You excitedly took the number Su Yin gave him and walked out of Yuexiang Entertainment Company with his agent, but was hit hard by the agent next to him.
"Although I hope she'll be interested in you, I honestly think you have no chance. The number she gave you is probably just a work number."
"There are not too many people who want to get close to this person now, but his standards are definitely high. You'd better not make things worse."
Feng You was stunned, recalling that Su Yin hadn't paid any attention to him since he entered the room. Even when he asked for her contact information, Su Yin hadn't shown any special emotions or ambiguous feelings. Unconvinced, he searched and added the number, but after a long time, no one accepted the friend request...
It wasn't until the next day that I was approved. The other party didn't send any messages, and when I clicked on their status, it was indeed a work number that I didn't use often...
Never mind. Since he has already fought for it once, he won’t keep pestering you.
I just don’t know what type of man she likes?
Forget it, forget it. I shouldn't think about it anymore. I should just use this opportunity to become famous and focus on my career! Feng You put aside all the thoughts in his mind and quickly got back to work. He couldn't let this hard-earned achievement go to waste.
Elsewhere, a TV was playing the latest episode of Yuexiang Entertainment's variety show. Shortly after the show began, a crystal ornament suddenly crashed into the TV! With a loud "bang," the TV was instantly destroyed, a hole in the screen gone black, and the crystal ornament shattered onto the ground.
The wife, who was in the kitchen, was startled by the loud noise coming from the living room. She was about to go out to see what happened, but when she thought of her husband's dark face since he came back and that he was the only one in the living room, she hesitated again and chose to pretend that she heard nothing and stayed in her kitchen, so as not to go out and get scolded.
At that moment, Wang Yuanlong, the CEO of Tiancheng Entertainment, was staring angrily at the broken, black screen television. He felt a surge of resentment, yet he still had nowhere to vent it. He wanted to curse furiously and destroy everything before him. But then, thinking that this was his home, and moving the broken items out might just spark paparazzi speculation, he forced himself not to take it out on things at home.
Since the release of Yuexiang Entertainment's previous hit variety show "The Adventure of Solving Puzzles", this new weekly variety show that selected artists from various companies has also continued the previous one's super high popularity and has become the absolute variety show overlord that dominates the screen every Saturday.
If the prosperity of Yuexiang Entertainment in recent years was enough to make Wang Yuanlong jealous and aggrieved, then seeing that woman had developed her entertainment company to its current level in such a short period of a few years, Wang Yuanlong of Tiancheng Entertainment was filled with injustice, anger and resentment!
Why is she so lucky? She can make so much money by investing in a platform!
And why is she so lucky that everyone she promotes becomes so famous! And why is she so lucky that the people she recruits become so talented that they always produce things that are popular with the audience!
And his subordinates are all trash who only know how to spend money!
What made him resent Yuexiang Entertainment even more intense was that Man Jie and Zhu Zhuo, the two they had snatched from Yuexiang Entertainment, had seen their popularity plummet over the past three years. The resources Tiancheng Entertainment had initially acquired to promote them cost them money and connections, but in the end, not only did they fail to make a splash, they were actually met with widespread negative reviews.
Seeing how the two male and female idol groups launched by Yuexiang Entertainment's Su Yin were both raking in the dough, becoming the most popular boy and girl groups in the idol world, Wang Yuanlong was furious. Why did they pick up those two losers back then instead of just any two of the six members?
If Yuexiang Entertainment and Tiancheng Entertainment had previously maintained a seemingly non-interference relationship, then the new variety show launched by Yuexiang Entertainment has completely ripped apart this superficial veneer.
When Yuexiang Entertainment was looking for suitable guests for a new variety show, it sent invitations to numerous entertainment companies within the industry, but Tiancheng Entertainment was the one that was directly rejected. Later, one of his subordinates shamelessly feigned ignorance and sent the information of one of their artists to the company. As a result, they received a direct rejection from Yuexiang Entertainment that same day! They even received this response!
"I'm sorry, but we don't think any of the artists under Sky City Entertainment meet the requirements of our show. Thank you for signing up."
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!
Tiancheng Entertainment, filled with rage, could only mock Yuexiang Entertainment on the surface, calling them fools who were doing charity for others. Meanwhile, they were secretly cursing Yuexiang Entertainment's new variety show, hoping it would fail miserably!
But the reality wasn't what they hoped for. This variety show was a huge hit again! And it wasn't the same fixed-episode variety show they'd used to be, where they could just pretend they didn't see it. Instead, it was a long-term, fixed weekly broadcast! This made it impossible for them to deceive themselves anymore! It was inevitable that they'd hear about them every once in a while!
This also made Wang Yuanlong extremely angry after he heard that many artists from entertainment companies gained popularity and fame after appearing on the variety show Yuexiang Entertainment!
Why did they dig those two idiots over here in the first place? Not only are they useless now, but they've also cost other artists their chances of appearing on the show.
Many shareholders in the company were dissatisfied with him and even proposed to re-elect the chairman at the shareholders' meeting.
It wasn't just a major crisis coming from within. Many companies in the industry now even treated Tiancheng as a joke. The constant barrage of criticism from both inside and outside nearly sent Wang Yuanlong to the hospital.
If fate could happen again, he would definitely not dig out those two losers again, but would directly kill the Yuexiang Entertainment company in its infancy!
However, Wang Yuanlong's thoughts were merely malicious. In the future, he could only watch Yuexiang Entertainment Company rise to the top step by step, and this regret would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Those who watched Yuexiang Entertainment's new variety show were not only the artists who benefited from participating in the variety show and people like Wang Yuanlong who were extremely jealous of them, but also some people who also watched the variety show with a different feeling.
Now, if there is anyone who regrets more than Yu Wang Yuanlong, it must be Man Jie, Zhu Zhuo and their families.
Why did you leave Yuexiang Entertainment and switch to Tiancheng?
They had asked themselves this question countless times. Now, these two and their families really regretted it, but the reality was that there was no medicine for regret.
If Man Jie and Zhu Zhuo were confident about their future when they first started filming movies and TV variety shows, as time went on, they, who had received little acting training, began to feel more and more fearful and confused.
Even though Sky City Entertainment had squeezed them into the filming, the director, reluctantly considering their popularity at the time, refrained from excessively abusing them. However, the constant NGs and the disdainful and impatient looks from the crew pierced their hearts, constantly telling them: They were nothing here, just two clueless burdens! If it weren't for their remaining popularity, they would have been lashing out at them!
After finally finishing the filming of the movie, they immediately started filming the TV series.
This time, the pressure wasn't as severe as during the filming. The director wasn't as strict and took better care of them. There weren't as many veteran actors and actresses on the crew constantly pressuring them with their acting skills and vast experience. But Man Jie and Zhu Zhuo's relaxation didn't last long, as they began to feel lost again.
Can I really make good film or television works if I go out on the road like this recklessly?
They filmed during the day and took lessons from the acting teacher arranged by Sky City Entertainment at night. The teacher kept asking them to work harder and learn faster, but learning the ropes on set was never that easy!
Later, when Tiancheng finally let them record an album, they discovered that not every entertainment company was like Yuexiang Entertainment. The melodies weren't catchy, the lyrics were even a bit vulgar, the instructors weren't particularly professional or responsible, and they were even forced to perform and record before they'd even practiced enough...
If Man Jie and Zhu Zhuo first felt regret when Tiancheng Company offered less favorable contract terms than previously promised, then during the filming of the film and television series, they began to truly regret it. Later, this regret not only persisted, but deepened over time, nearly overwhelming them.
Seeing their former teammates successfully debut, releasing albums and performing, and then continuing their normal training and exposure, Man Jie and Zhu Zhuo secretly followed Yuexiang Entertainment's official video account to see their training progress and status, and found that these guys were training even harder and more seriously than before.
Every once in a while, I would come out of the crew or from a commercial performance, and I would hear that they had released new songs, taken on new endorsements, or even had stage performances...
In the end, the two of them had become more and more numb. So they just let it be and continued to do it as an ordinary job to make a living. They should not think about the past anymore, as thinking about the past would only make them more miserable.
However, when they saw that the newly launched girl group of Yuexiang Entertainment became popular again; saw the news that the Moonlight Boys' first concert sold out all tickets in one second and set multiple records; saw that Yuexiang Entertainment's new variety show even made artists from other companies popular again, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.
They are simply not cut out for acting. Such frequent performances and appearances without sufficient training will only make their fans increasingly disappointed, and more and more of them will leave.
Even if they were blacklisted or banned, the two agreed that tomorrow they would either terminate their contract with Sky City Entertainment or be allowed to resume their normal training rhythm and return to singing and dancing on stage. No matter how hard or tiring it was, they wanted to return to the days of hard training, to the state of mind without hesitation or guilt.
Let them give it one last try. Even if they never have the chance to reach the heights of their former teammates in this lifetime, they don't want to muddle along anymore. They don't want to see the disappointed looks on the fans' faces, and the number of people coming is decreasing each time.
If this continues, they really can't bear it anymore.
At this time, Su Yin naturally had no idea that the new variety show she decided on would not only shock the entire entertainment industry and become a super popular variety show that is popular all over the world, and the most popular variety show at the moment, but also bring completely different and strong mood swings to so many people, and even change the fate of many people.
At that moment, she was listening to feedback from her subordinates at work with a serious expression on her face, while furrowing her brow as she searched online for relevant information. After seeing that the public seemed to be paying little attention to these events on the news and social media platforms, she called a familiar staff member in the City A government and asked him to help her understand the details of the incident.
After receiving the reply with general information, Su Yin pondered for a while. No, even if it meant working harder, she couldn't take this matter lightly.
Su Yin, who traveled here from the year 2021 in her original world, is too sensitive to things like respiratory infectious diseases, even though her reason tells her that it is impossible for the disease and development situation in this world to be exactly the same as in the original world.
However, she still couldn't keep steady.
Su Yin acted decisively and immediately notified everyone in the company to thoroughly clean, disinfect, and conduct health checks and disease prevention. Her company had a large staff and trainees, so nothing could go wrong.
Thinking of something, Su Yin dialed the company's internal phone and asked the purchasing department to immediately purchase a large amount of disinfectant, medical surgical masks, gloves, and other supplies. After a pause, Su Yin made another request to the person: to purchase the goods from abroad and first purchase a batch first.
Maybe I'm just too sensitive.
Maybe it's just a common cold, so don't be too nervous.
However, in order to have peace of mind, she had to complete these precautionary preparations even if it meant losing some money before she could feel at ease.
Please don't let anything major happen in this world again.
Su Yin hung up the phone and prayed in her heart for the first time.
