The increasing number of users of online video platforms has inevitably had a significant impact on traditional TV programs.
Seeing that many online video platforms have launched various talent shows and achieved good results, Dongcheng TV, once the ratings champion, did not want to be outdone and planned a talent show this year.
In order to build momentum for "The Birth of an Idol", the TV station spent a lot of money to invite well-known artists to be mentors.
Putting aside other things, the name Ji Xiunian alone is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Ji Xiunian debuted for ten years and has been working diligently in filming and rarely participated in variety shows. It is said that the producer of this show is an old friend of his and he came here to do a favor.
It doesn't matter why he came to be a mentor. What matters is that this gives Lu Xu a great opportunity.
Lu Xu was just thinking about how to get close to Ji Xiunian, but now he has an idea -
sign up for the show and become a trainee. As long as he joins the program team, he will naturally be able to get in touch with Ji Xiunian.
So now the problem he faces is how to sign up. According to the program introduction, trainees are selected from all over the country. If he wants to get in, at least there must be an agency to run it.
Thinking of this, Lu Xu immediately called the organization: "Hello, leader, I received the mission. There is a small problem and I need the support of the organization."
The leader who was called was the head of the Death God Department, who was very quick to speak and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Xu briefly explained his plan, and his finger slid the mouse while browsing the internship information: "I need an agency to operate it, the kind that cooperates with Dongchengtai."
"Okay." The other party only replied with one word, turned around and hung up the phone.
Lu Xu knew the character of the director very well, raised his hand and touched his chin lightly with a smile, and the matter was settled.
Sure enough, within a minute of hanging up the phone, the minister sent a new message with an address: "I contacted the Demon Supervisory Office and arranged a brokerage company. You can go there directly tomorrow."
"Yaoguai Entertainment."
Interesting.

Before eight o'clock, Lu Xu had already packed up, put on a duckbill cap and went out.
In order to facilitate work, the Garden Community where Lu Xu rented is within the Second Ring Road. The transportation is well-connected, and the subway station and bus operation point are downstairs. The sun was scorching, and the green belts on both sides of the road changed color due to the heat. The surroundings were hurried and dry.
The heat this year is abnormal.
Lu Xu looked up at the sky and couldn't help thinking a lot.
He walked down the stairs briskly, and only then did he feel the coolness when he entered the subway station.
There was a billboard at intervals above the passage, which included not only the advertisements of the advertisers but also two fan supporters. Lu Xu took a quick glance and found that he looked unfamiliar, and he must be another artist who had just debuted.
The last thing that Dongcheng lacks is people.
It was rush hour, and the waiting area was crowded. Lu Xu stood in the queue in the crowd with headphones on, keeping a distance from others without making any noise.
He was already outstanding in appearance, with skin so white that it translucent. Even if he just stood there casually, there would be people secretly staring at him.
"Come on, one, two, three."
Two little girls were walking together not far away. One of them was swaying her skirt with her back to Lu Xu, while the other was taking pictures with her mobile phone. At first glance, they were taking pictures of their companions, but in fact, the camera was full of Lu Xu.
"OK!" Seeing the car entering the station, the girl taking pictures gestured to her companion. The two squeezed into the subway and put their heads together, looking at the album with frowning eyebrows.
The young boy in the camera had a cartoon face, a white big T-shirt with gray overalls, and his legs were extremely long. He was originally concentrating on waiting for the subway, and his profile was absolutely beautiful. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but in the last two seconds of the video, the boy seemed to have sensed something and looked over here. The girl thought she was caught taking photos secretly, and her hands trembled a few times. However, he just smiled and raised his eyebrows, and his good looks made people's heart beat fast.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
"So handsome!"
The two girls covered their mouths to suppress the urge to scream.
Originally, they just took pictures of his handsome back for a while, but they didn't expect that his face was favored by the Creator, and a casual shot would be a pictorial.
"The more I look at it, the more I like it. I think I need his contact information."
"Me too!"
The two hit it off and held hands to go to the next car to look for him. However, no matter how many times they turned around, they didn't see the man. They clearly saw him getting on the car.
One of them was disappointed: "It's so strange, how could the person disappear?"
The other one was thoughtful: "Let's post the video online, maybe we can find him?"
Soon, the two uploaded the video to a certain audio platform, and specially selected a special music for confession -
[Iron Hammer Sister: The little brother I met at the subway station is definitely the boy I like. There were too many people in the subway at that time and I didn't have time to ask for his contact information. Maybe you know him? ]
As a two-dimensional home dance blogger, the girl's account also has thousands of fans. It's just that they don't interact much on weekdays, and the highest number of likes for a work is only 20,000.
After the video was posted, sporadic comments appeared below -
[National first-level back off contestant: Oh my god, this little brother is too handsome! 】
【Come on, brother: If you want me to say something, don't do it in front of me. Netizens are like picking needles in a haystack. Where can you find a needle in a haystack? 】
【I will never let my other boyfriends find you: Oh my god, this face value is so amazing, waiting for the contact information of a little brother online】
【Oli Gei: Finally, he smiled at the camera, let's go, let's go, it's a pose for the photo】
【One Giao in the Nest: If these two don't know me, I'll live broadcast eating the wall】
...
In just a few minutes, the number of likes has exceeded 100, and the number of comments is also rising.
【Iron Hammer Sister: I really don't know him, and I don't want to bother the little brother, I just really like him and want to tell him】
It's just a reply to a message, and the number of likes has exceeded a thousand. Click to see the number of views, it has reached 60,000.
The two girls looked at each other and blinked excitedly -
this video went viral!

At this time, Lu Xu didn't know that he had become a hot recommendation.
It was only three stops from his home to Yaoguai Entertainment. Lu Xu pushed the door open and walked to the front desk, greeting politely: "Hello."
The front desk was dozing off, but when she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and saw a handsome boy standing in front of her. Even though she had seen so many good-looking monsters in the company, the front desk still thought this boy was very good-looking. Even compared to the nine-tailed fox and the mermaid, he was still comparable.
More importantly, she didn't smell the same kind of aura on this handsome guy.
It was rare for a real human to come to the company. The receptionist looked at Lu Xu as if he were a national treasure, smiling brightly and asking enthusiastically, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Lu Xu nodded, "My friend made an appointment for me. My name is Lu Xu."
"Okay, please wait." The receptionist made a phone call, announced Lu Xu's name, and then stood up to lead the way, "I'll take you to Mr. Bai's office."
"Thank you." Lu Xu followed the receptionist, and even though he saw the tail flashing behind her, he didn't say a word, and his expression was calm as usual.
Lu Xu walked into the company and met a cleaner who had turned into a dung shell spirit, a switchboard operator who had turned into an octopus spirit, and several small employees with horns and grass on their heads.
Yaoguai Entertainment Company is indeed worthy of its reputation.
"Boss Bai, Mr. Lu is here."
"Come in."
The receptionist smiled at Lu Xu, and then reluctantly returned to his work station. When
Lu Xu pushed the door open and walked in, Boss Bai had already stood up to greet him: "Hello Lu Xu, I'm Bai Ze."
Bai Ze is very tall, 1.87 meters tall, with model-like proportions and handsome features. If you don't know him, you might think he is an artist from some company. He is wearing a well-tailored suit, and a pair of clear and sharp eyes are hidden under the metal glasses.
From the moment Lu Xu walked in, Bai Ze had already taken a look at this man. He was not a ghost or a monster, and at first glance he looked no different from a human being.
When the call came from the other side saying that they wanted to send someone here, Bai Ze was a little worried at first.
The reason why the three realms can coexist peacefully in this world is naturally inseparable from the management and operation of relevant departments.
Humans and monsters are different, so they belong to different departments.
When humans die, they have special national services, and after death, they also have underworld organizations to serve them. But monsters have another system. As long as they are monsters that have become spirits legally, they are under the management of the Monster Supervisory Office. They have obtained the spirit license and survive in the human world with various identities, and have completely adapted to this kind of life in the human world.
In order to maintain basic survival, monsters who have become spirits devote themselves to various industries according to their own interests and specialties, and shine in different positions. There are many monsters who have embarked on the road of artistry with their outstanding appearance. In order to facilitate management, monster brokerage companies are born.
As the boss of a monster brokerage company, Shirazawa is familiar with the attributes of each monster. He makes packaging plans based on their specialties and has made many artists famous.
He lets the beautiful nine-tailed fox sell her beauty on the screen, and he praises the mermaid with a beautiful voice as the king of singers.
Because of his outstanding ability, it is inevitable that some people are tempted to push people to his side. Among them, there are many who have extraordinary looks but lack personality, and Shirazawa has always rejected such people.
The Death God Department asked him to send employees to participate in talent shows, and Shirazawa had already explained the situation at the time-he can help get them in, but whether they can stay in the competition or even debut depends on the individual.
There are many excellent artists among humans, and even if ghosts want to become famous, they must have strength.
Just before Lu Xu came in, Bai Ze was still thinking that if the conditions were not good, he would definitely make it clear in advance. After all, it involved the cooperation between the two organizations, and he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this matter.
However, when he saw Lu Xu for the first time, the light of talent in his eyes suddenly lit up - this death god has a chance!
Looking at the hand that Bai Ze stretched out, Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and shook it: "Hello, President Bai, I am Lu Xu."
