Chapter 012 Identity
The beautiful light blond hair was messily sticking up. Seeing that Jingxing didn't seem to be awake, Lin Chiran smiled and said, "Good morning."
Unable to resist a small yawn, Jingxing tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, "Good morning, Brother Lin, good morning, Brother Wu." For some reason, Brother Wu had been staring at him with a somewhat funny look. Following this line of sight, Jingxing touched his head in confusion, only to realize that his hair was so messy that it might be as messy as a bird's nest. He hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, wait a moment, I'll be there soon." He rushed to the room, picked up the comb, and quickly fixed his hair.
Wu Wen wanted to stop him and tell him it was okay, they would just talk for a few minutes and leave, but he failed to stop Jing Xing who was inexplicably obsessed with his hairstyle.
At the dining table, the members were already eating breakfast, which was fed to them by the producer and the agent early in the morning. Taking into account the different tastes of everyone, Wu Wen bought many kinds of food, including steamed buns, tofu pudding, pot stickers, pan-fried shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, siomai, custard buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks. The members who ate the hearty breakfast felt that they were surrounded by happiness early in the morning, but they didn't know that everything had a price...
Jingxing tidied himself and walked out of the room, turning back into a handsome mixed-race guy with fluffy hair and a hearty smile, as if the scene just now was just an illusion. "Brother Lin, what's the matter so early?"
"I came to see how you are settling in." Lin Chiran looked at the members who were concentrating on eating.
Jingxing's gaze could not help but drift towards the dining table. Wu Wen could not help laughing and said, "You should eat first, and we'll talk after you finish eating." Eat well, you don't have to eat anything later. Thinking of this, Wu Wen smiled even more brightly.
Jingxing inexplicably felt a chill on his back, but still found it hard to resist the food on the table. It was hard to imagine how much a few boys in their early twenties could eat. Even though they ate less out of professional awareness, they still basically finished it all without wasting any food.
"Everyone must be full, so let me tell you about today's schedule." Wu Wen began to make arrangements based on the schedule. "First, you need to go to the company to record your height, weight and other data. Then I will give you a diet and exercise plan that is suitable for you based on the results."
Hearing this, An Juesui and Jingxing's faces changed. They were the ones who ate the most. They couldn't help but wail silently in their hearts. If they had known, they would have eaten less. They would have to pay back for the meat they ate. Their hearts ached. Jiang Hechu, on the other hand, looked calm, having expected such an arrangement. He put down his cutlery after eating about the same amount as usual.
"After that is daily dance and vocal training. The classes are on the fourth floor of the company, which you have all been there." Wu Wen continued.
"In the first week, you will participate in daily training with other trainees to get familiar with the rhythm, and then you will train with the other members." Lin Chiran said, looking at Jingxing, "Those who are weak in dancing will be arranged to have additional training depending on the situation. You can also practice more with your teammates when you have the chance. Each of you has your own areas of excellence. You will grow faster if you communicate more and give each other guidance."
Jingxing understood Lin Chiran's intention. His teammates were all trainees, so he had to work harder in this aspect to catch up.
"Also, don't forget to find some time to think about the questions Brother Lin asked, and think about what is the best answer for you." After hearing Wu Wen's words, several people suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, they were so busy yesterday that they forgot about it.
Lin Chiran added, "On the last day of the training camp, a photographer will come to film your day and make a Vlog for future promotion." Hearing this, several people were more or less nervous. It was the first time they appeared in front of the camera, and they wanted to seize the opportunity and do their best.
Wu Wen posted this week's schedule in the group. This week's main focus is on adapting and participating in some basic exercises, leaving some time for members to practice independently. As the overall level gradually improves, some preparations before debut will also be arranged.
When they arrived at the company, the members went to measure basic data while Lin Chiran and Wu Wen went to work. The immediate priority is to prepare for the pre-debut promotional plan and arrange some regular activities. Lin Chi Ran's planned debut is still a few months away, and they need to gradually let the group enter the audience's field of vision before then.
Lin Chiran was planning today's work in his mind and was about to go upstairs when a familiar voice called him.
"Chiran, long time no see, what have you been busy with recently?" Behind him was a very familiar face, Lin Chiran's former teammate, Qi Puxin from SLANT.
Lin Chiran has been so busy these days that he hasn't had time to contact Qi Puxin. He heard that he was planning to become an actor, but he hasn't asked him how he's doing now.
"I'm busy with a new project recently. I just recruited all the people and will debut them in a few months."
"Are you really going to become a producer? I thought the rumors in the company were fake." Qi Puxin said in surprise.
"After thinking about it for a long time, I still think I like this line of work." Lin Chiran replied with a smile.
Seeing how he enjoyed it, Qi Puxin thought for a moment and said, "As for you...it's true. You have always been the one who is most enthusiastic about the group."
Lin Chiran was a little surprised. So this is how he was seen by other people.
"What about you? I heard that you are going to develop into an actor. If you become a movie emperor one day, let me join in the fun." Lin Chiran was joking with Qi Puxin. He really hoped that Qi Puxin would have a good development.
Qi Puxin majored in acting and originally entered the entertainment industry wanting to become an actor. However, by some strange coincidence, he became an idol for so many years. His acting skills are remarkable, but due to the restrictions of his idol status, he has not had many good opportunities over the years. It was not until graduation that he began to pursue his former dream.
Qi Puxin smiled a little reluctantly, "Yes, there are some scripts, but you know, idols are not very recognized in this regard. I'm a latecomer and there's nothing suitable for me at the moment. Let's take it step by step."
Lin Chiran patted Qi Puxin's shoulder and said, "We all know your strength. Sooner or later, there will be a suitable opportunity. Let them see that idols are never inferior to others."
Qi Puxin nodded seriously, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, have you heard about Xingchen's recent events?"
Suddenly hearing the name of the competitor's company, Lin Chiran lowered his brows slightly: "What's wrong with Xingchen?"
Qi Puxin said with a bit of gloating: "Didn't Fang Yao poach a lot of people before, promising them that Xingchen would give them twice as much as our company?"
Lin Chiran knew that the other party had used many means to poach members of the core team, and it turned out that this was the price they offered.
"Many people were laid off shortly after they changed jobs. It is said that they did not achieve the corresponding results." Qi Puxin continued, "Many of the people Fang Yao poached were his confidants. They were said to be the elites of the core team, but in fact they just relied on bloodsucking SLANT. How much ability do they have?"
"He can be considered as helping to organize the team." Lin Chiran found it a little ridiculous. As SLANT develops faster and faster, more and more staff are needed. Over the years, many people have been forced in to fish in troubled waters by relying on their status as trusted agents. Fang Yao's efforts actually cleared these people out of Shenghuang. After working so hard for so long, he ended up making wedding dresses for others. I wonder how he feels now.

Xingchen Entertainment, agent's office.
Fang Yao was looking at the news just announced by the crew in annoyance, the sound of his shoes tapping on the ground echoing in the office. The resources that had been negotiated disappeared overnight, and the candidates were announced directly, leaving no room for recovery. Thinking about the recent troubles, he thought that poaching SLANT's core team members would be enough to show his loyalty and gain the trust of the top management, but he didn't expect to be scolded for bringing in a bunch of trash.
When Fang Yao first arrived, he used some not-so-honorable means to grab resources. In the past, no one in Shenghuang would confront him head-on. But in Xingchen, other agents will not suffer this loss and will trip him up from time to time. I thought that the agent who brought out SLANT was at least very capable, but I didn't expect him to be just a villain who didn't live up to his reputation and had ugly means. I kept mocking and stepping on him intentionally or unintentionally.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Fang Yao didn't want to answer it when he saw the caller ID, but he couldn't bear it because he still needed him to turn over, so he took a few deep breaths before answering the phone.
"Fang Yao, didn't you say that I was already the main character in this script? How come the promotion released by the crew doesn't show that at all!" Chen Zhou asked angrily on the other end of the phone, "Now that person's fans are scolding me for daydreaming and messing around everywhere, what's wrong with you!"
Listening to Chen Zhou's aggressive questioning, Fang Yao was furious. He had fought so hard to get the resources, and had repeatedly warned him not to spread the word, but this idiot couldn't help it, and self-righteously opened a small account in the fan group to show off the information. The news spread out, and the original protagonist who was snatched away went straight to the crew, put pressure on them and snatched it back.
Fang Yao suppressed his temper and appeased Chen Zhou. Only by maintaining Chen Zhou's popularity and making him famous could he turn things around. The original plan to use the drama to maintain popularity after graduation is no longer possible, it seems that we have to find another way.
Suddenly thinking of something, Fang Yao asked Chen Zhou, "Have you auditioned the same solo song with Lin Chiran before, that is, his song "Submarine Whale"?"
"Why do you bring this up?" Chen Zhou felt a little puzzled.
"Just say it, right?" Fang Yao didn't want to say anything more to the brainless Chen Zhou.
"Yes, but I thought that song was too difficult to sing, so I gave up halfway through." Chen Zhou felt a little guilty, but he became very annoyed when he thought about what happened later. "In the end, this song became popular. How unlucky."
"Submarine Whale" is the most popular song in SLANT's album. Lin Chiran's perfect singing skills coupled with his genius arrangement and production have brought him super high popularity. Whenever you count SLANT's famous songs, this song is inevitable.
"Do you still have the demo from that time?" I thought it would be easy if I still had it.
"Yes, I have, but the effect is not very good. What exactly do you want to do?" Chen Zhou still didn't understand. This agent often made him feel baffled, but the two of them were now on the same boat.
"Don't worry about this. For your own good, just send me the demo." Fang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He was able to maintain the topic for the time being. He also had to thank Lin Chiran for sending him a big gift.
