Chapter 103 Mentality
Wax&Wane is currently the most watched idol group, and the news caused a huge response once it was confirmed.
[The sales in the first week are very strong. You should be able to come back soon. I will wait for you. Come on. 】
【An Jue took a sick leave?】 ? What’s going on? Why is it so sudden? 】
[…I’ve long wondered if Wax&Wane’s schedule is too full. There’s no need to be so ruthless in pushing someone to take over, right? Even when they are sick they still have to work. This producer is really good at exploiting people. It’s different when you become a boss. 】
What does the above person's sarcastic tone mean? ? The young idol who debuted for less than a year is not busy. Isn’t it exploitation to stay at home every day to enjoy retirement? Is there something wrong with the Sweeping Team? Let me tell you, if they really exploit the artists, they won’t even let them rest! 】
[How can there be such a quarrel... It's a pity to encounter such a thing when you are still in the rising stage, alas... Your health is the most important, get well soon. 】
Regarding the suspension of An Juesui's activities, no matter how clear the explanation is, it is inevitable that some fans will become concerned and blame other people in the team, which deviates from everyone's original ideas.
For this reason, for a period of time after the announcement was made, An Juesui maintained a certain frequency, updating some interesting daily life and his recent situation in the fanclub, explaining the situation while comforting fans.
As time goes by, most people finally accept this reality. Out of concern for An Jue-sui's health, some even said that it would be okay if he didn't force himself to work during his illness. Fans of Wax&Wane all hope that he can get better soon.
An Juesui is very persistent about this, hoping to do as much as he can to bring some peace of mind and comfort to those who have always supported them.
After spending such a long time together, Lin Chiran had already figured out the temperaments of the members. He had long guessed that he would say that, and after observing An Juesui's condition for a while and confirming that there was no problem, he agreed.
On the other hand, the members are also working silently so that An Jue Sui can recuperate in peace, and Wax&Wane cannot stagnate like this.
On this day, Jiang Hechu had just finished his acting class when he saw an unread message on his phone. He clicked it and saw it was a photo. Familiar practice room, familiar people.
With a raised eyebrow, Jiang Hechu typed a reply on the screen and sent it.
[How long have you been discharged from the hospital? Do you need to continue to recuperate after your fracture? A loving reminder: don’t kneel down while dancing. 】
It wasn't long before I received a reply.
[…Broken toe, discharged from hospital a long time ago.] 】
Soon, another message came from the other side.
[Can't you just expect me to order something good? Or are you scared? 】
Jiang Hechu rolled his eyes speechlessly and typed quickly...
【Fear? Who are you afraid of? you? Jiang Jin, being too narcissistic is a disease. I think it's too early for you to be discharged from the hospital. Do you want me to make another appointment for you remotely? 】
He typed in one go and clicked send. Before he could appreciate the other party's frustrated look, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and Jiang Hechu picked up the phone: "Brother Wu?"
"I passed the audition!" Wu Wen's voice was full of joy.
Jiang Hechu became serious when he heard this and asked, "Who passed?"
"The last two passed!" As soon as Wu Wen received the notice, he came to tell Jiang Hechu the good news and said with a smile: "Chen Xun and An Juesui also passed the audition. You will be busy from now on..."
Jiang Hechu was slightly surprised: "Really? That's great."
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Didn't An Juesui and Shen Xun audition for the same role? I remember it was a suspect big boss idol."
"Shen Xun got the role, and An Juesui also tried out for a talkative assistant role, which the director thought was particularly suitable for him." Wu Wen paused for a second: "The feedback from the other side was that he didn't look like he was acting, and the character's personality was very real."
Jiang Hechu couldn't help laughing: "Indeed...what about his situation?"
"Brother Lin has already talked to them. Don't worry, we will take good care of him." Wu Wen then explained the subsequent itinerary and arrangements one by one, and Jiang Hechu listened carefully.
After taking courses for a period of time and gaining a certain degree of recognition from his acting teacher, Wu Wen has been looking for suitable opportunities for Jiang Hechu, allowing him to go to some auditions, accumulate experience, and deepen his understanding of the performing arts career.
Shenghuang is fully capable of making Jiang Hechu the leading male role, but Lin Chiran does not intend to push him to this position right now. Instead, he hopes that he can be down-to-earth and make steady progress on this path. Lin Chiran was not in a hurry and asked Wu Wen to choose opportunities for Jiang Hechu in a way that would better develop his abilities.
Instead of having a perfect, stiff wooden face, relying on the fame of an idol and the push of capital to get the role, and then reciting "1234567" or something like that, it all depends on post-production dubbing to make the character look less like a 21st century zombie.
But it has to be said that when it comes to idols acting, there are those who swallow their anger or even welcome it for the sake of traffic and fame, and there are naturally those who, in the name of taking the work seriously, do not want idols to participate and have a contemptuous attitude.
Both have their own ideas and persistence, and not all people are so extreme. There is still a saying that a hero does not care about his origin. Strength is the means to test everything and eliminate stereotypes.
Jiang Hechu also thought so after chatting with Lin Chiran. There was no conflict between him being an idol and wanting to take acting seriously. No one had ever dictated how an idol should behave.
So when Lin Chiran asked him, if this choice would make him destined to pay more than others and destined to be looked at with tinted glasses, would he still choose this?
Jiang Hechu smiled playfully and said, "The person you see through tinted glasses won't have more hands and legs than the real person, right?"
Lin Chiran couldn't help laughing: "Of course not."
"Sooner or later, he will take off his glasses to confirm because the person he saw is not as exaggerated and scary as he imagined." Jiang Hechu smiled nonchalantly, thought for a moment, looked at the producer, and said, "Besides, there are already predecessors paving the way, right?"
Lin Chiran thought of Qi Puxin. After graduating from SLANT, he chose to focus on his acting career. He had difficulty being recognized in this regard due to his idol status and experienced a period of lows, but he did not choose to compromise.
Qi Puxin has accumulated reputation with his strength and has gradually gained people's recognition of his acting skills. Now there are no longer so many people who would constrain him by his former idol status.
For Wax&Wane, which encourages its members to think more and does not want to set limits for idols, Jiang Hechu will challenge that active idols can also develop in this field with their attitude and strength.
Therefore, in order to gradually develop this ability, the roles chosen for Jiang Hechu in the beginning were mostly supporting roles in high-quality dramas of about ten episodes, which had a certain amount of screen time and could improve his acting skills, in order to train him.
The candidates who passed the audition were for these two dramas. It is planned that each episode will be 40 minutes long, and there will be 10 episodes in one season. They will play the role of an intern in a traditional medical drama and a criminal in a criminal investigation drama, and the shooting times are just staggered.
In order to better apply what he had learned so far, Jiang Hechu couldn't wait to open the script he received from his agent after a busy day. He was so engrossed in reading it that he didn't notice Jiang Jin's reply message until before going to bed.
[You'll know when the time comes. If you tell me in person, I might show mercy. Would you consider it? 】
Jiang Hechu read the message, replied with a "hehe", and then added the contact to the blacklist.
At the same time, in Country B, inside a building.
He wore all black even when sleeping, with the only thing wrapped in white bandages. Jiang Jin's face turned green when he saw the message "You have been blocked by the other party" and the glaring red exclamation mark.
"Jin Jiang? Sleep?" Greetings from Argent teammates.
Jiang Jin's mouth twitched: "I told you my name is not Jin Jiang, but Jiang Jin. Jin Jiang is a novel website, ok? Novel...web novel, understand?"
The teammate suddenly realized: "I know! Jin! Like fan fiction? Hechu and you?" The teammate used half-baked English, mixed with words he learned from someone, and tried to express his meaning, with an inexplicable spark in his eyes.
Jiang Jin closed his eyes in despair: "No!" Then he held his forehead with his hand and went back to his room.
The teammates behind him said excitedly: "We'll see him soon! Don't worry! Jin Jiang!"
Jiang Jin slammed the door shut.

Almost a month has passed since the announcement of the suspension of An Juesui activities was issued.
During this period, everyone in the team has been working hard to protect Wax&Wane. Among them, some adaptation problems are inevitable, especially regarding the group activities, which is a big problem.
On weekdays, in various group activities of Wax&Wane, An Jue Sui has always been the absolute controlling role in the group.
Although he talks a lot in private, he is extremely trustworthy during group activities. Picking up jokes, controlling the frequency of each person speaking, mobilizing interaction with the audience, and determining the scale of topics are all the result of his countless accumulations, and he has long become the MC of the group that everyone relies on.
Now that An Juesui has suddenly suspended his activities, this work can only be shared by several other members, and the group variety show recording scene became a little chaotic for a while.
Lin Chiran looked at them, thought about it and decided: "Try to record as many radio plans as possible during this period."
Wu Wen silently looked at the people in the distance. Are they trying to fight poison with poison... ?
The members who heard the resolution were also confused. They actually knew what the problem was with the current situation.
Everyone wanted to share more of the responsibility, which resulted in a situation where everyone was scrambling to speak; once they realized that the other person also wanted to speak, they all kept silent at the same time in tacit understanding, which made the atmosphere become quiet.
This was a situation that would never occur to Wax & Wane, who had already become top idols. Everyone was reflecting deeply on it and thinking about how to solve this problem as quickly as possible when they heard the producer's suggestion.
"ANC Radio, you guys are doing a great job." Lin Chiran looked at the four people in front of him and said, "Don't be too anxious. Relax and do it."
When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought about the ANC Radio recording session this weekend, and finally successfully completed the group variety show recording.
Wu Wen also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the producer beside him: "They finally relaxed."
Lin Chiran nodded. The biggest problem was not ability, but mentality.
