"Autumn of Music" is a variety show at the end of the year. After its last episode was broadcast, the entertainment industry instantly entered an ice age.
With the Spring Festival only one month away, it would be foolish for any new variety show to be launched at this time.
All the movies released during the Lunar New Year holiday were flops.
The real box office hits are naturally released during the Spring Festival.
As a result, movie theaters, like major streaming platforms, have become deserted.
At this moment, Tang Yue was sitting in a high-end coffee shop where the reservation fee was five hundred dollars. She was drinking a special cappuccino priced at 998, looking out the window at the cold street, and fell into deep thought.
“The desserts in this shop are too bad.”
Su Yin's straightforward voice interrupted Tang Yue's thoughts and quickly brought Tang Yue, who was gradually becoming Versailles, back to the reality filled with the aroma of coffee beans.
"Really?" Tang Yue casually picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth.
After a moment, a crack appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.
She glanced at Su Yin and finally found a good point: "At least it looks good."
"Come to think of it," Su Yin wiped her mouth and leaned lazily against the back of her chair, revealing a curious expression: "Why haven't Xuan'er and Ruirui come yet?"
"Who knows?" Tang Yue stretched out her arms. "Maybe there was a traffic jam on the road?"
Tang Yue had just finished speaking when the door of the cafe was pushed open.
The ones who walked out were Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner.
Today is the day when Wang Xingrui finished filming her scenes, so Zhou Yiyang simply gave the four of them a day off.
Tang Yue and Su Yin decided to go for afternoon tea. Wang Xingrui wanted to lose weight recently, so she asked Lin Xuaner to accompany her to the mall to choose some exercise equipment for home.
As soon as Wang Xingrui sat down, she picked up Tang Yue's cup and took a sip.
Tang Yue and Su Yin looked at Wang Xingrui with interest, as if what she had just drunk was not coffee, but a cup of Ganges water with magical effects.
Lin Xuan'er blinked, not knowing what the two of them were up to.
But soon, Wang Xingrui told the truth.
If the code of conduct for female celebrities had not been deeply imprinted in her mind, she would probably have spit out her coffee right now.
"This is the water for washing pots!" Wang Xingrui frowned. "Who recommended this shop to you?"
"Liu Xihe." Su Yin shrugged, and now she had to reflect deeply: "Maybe she is planning to poison us with coffee? After all, we have surpassed her in both rankings recently."
"Speaking of this," Lin Xuan'er recalled something. "I see some people online think it's inappropriate for the four of us to be listed as a group. They suggest that the Super Topic Chart and the Artist Value Chart be calculated separately."
"How do we split it up?" Wang Xingrui was confused. "You can't just divide the score based on how long we sang each song, right?"
"I'm not sure about that." Lin Xuan'er, having learned from Wang Xingrui's experience, put two sugar cubes in her coffee. "But these are just fans' suggestions. I don't think the officials will make any changes."
"I wish we could get into the top three." Tang Yue couldn't help but fantasize, "Gao Yanyan and Brother Hu have been in the top two for over a year now. It seems we can only hope to defeat Brother Chen, who's in third place."
Luo Chen, who was filming on the set, suddenly shuddered and wondered if the costume was leaking air.
"But don't you think the entertainment industry has been too quiet lately?" Tang Yue's eyes were filled with the fire of gossip. "There are no earth-shattering scandals, no hit movies or TV series, and even the variety shows are almost finished. My mom has started watching 'The Road to Wealth' these days."
"Maybe this is the calm before the storm." Su Yin deliberately lowered her voice, giving the illusion that she knew something. "But don't the paparazzi need to meet their KPIs at the end of the year? Hurry up and get ready!"
"Don't get so excited," Lin Xuan'er gently reminded them, "Let's speak softly. If any paparazzi hear us, we'll be the ones on the trending search."
"Xuan'er, you don't have to worry about that," Tang Yue said with a smile. "The coffee shop we chose today has no other advantages, except that we don't have to worry about being watched by paparazzi or passers-by. The owner of this shop is an insider, and other than the celebrities he knows, ordinary people can't go up to the second floor."
"So that's how it is." Wang Xingrui suddenly realized that this coffee shop was very similar to the inns opened by retired gangsters in novels. "Who's the owner?"
"To be honest," Su Yin said quietly, "If I hadn't looked it up on the encyclopedia, I wouldn't have known it at all. But other people are doing pretty well with their side hustles."
Everyone smiled at each other and tacitly skipped the topic.
After a while, the waiter came over with a plate of freshly baked cookies. After placing it on the table, he said with a smile, "Our boss sent it to us. He said he really likes your songs."
"Really? Thank you so much." Su Yin accepted the biscuit enthusiastically, tasted one, and her eyes lit up.
However, Tang Yue shook her head disapprovingly: "Don't think you can fool me with that expression. Everything they have that's edible has failed me."
Su Yin shook her head, looking innocent. "It's really delicious! It's completely different from what we just had!"
The waiter covered his mouth and laughed as he explained, "This cookie is made by our boss himself. He only cooks for the artists he likes."
