After the boss left, everyone's topic of conversation always revolved around gossip in the circle.
"I heard that Shanghai TV and Superstar Film and Television are producing a talent show, and it's a live broadcast format." Bai Yangyu said seriously, "I have a feeling this show might be a big hit."
"Normal." Zhou Yiyang analyzed it for a moment. "Ever since Luo Chen and the four of you became famous on the idol talent show, all the satellite TV stations and entertainment formulas have been doing idol talent shows. The process is pretty much the same: 101 people are chosen to debut as a group. Then most of them go solo or act in movies, and gradually their presence fades. Every year, it's like they're just profiting from the fan circle. Not many of the people are popular, but the production companies make a lot of money."
Tang Yue took a gulp of water and said, "Brother Yang, you're being too direct!"
"What's the matter? Don't you all know it? The idol audition model has made many viewers tired. They need something new. Now Superstar Film and Shanghai Satellite TV are going for a retro style, which is quite insightful."
"Why don't we do it?" Guan Fei asked back.
"I think our company has a lot of talent. Not to mention you, Chu Tianjiao now has more followers on Douyin than many A-list celebrities, and she earns as much as you. And Xiao Li, he gained popularity with the show "Longing Days", and recently, "Yi Yi" was released, and his acting skills were praised."
"But if Superstar Film and Television really becomes a hit," Luo Chen was worried. After all, he was older than Yue Shao and the other three. "It would still have an impact on us."
"It's natural." Zhou Yiyang smiled. "No flower stays in bloom forever. This is the law of nature. What you can do is break out of your circle while you're at the peak of your popularity. Once you gain national recognition, like Helian Bei, you can definitely make a comeback."
After they finished chatting, the waiter brought in the dishes.
A plate of fried rice half the size of the table shocked everyone.
"Not to mention the price," Lin Xuan'er said, feeling like her yoga practice that day was in vain. "This portion is a bit exaggerated."
Su Yin took a deep breath. "The sweet aroma of corn, the salty freshness of bacon, and the fragrance of green beans are all mixed together. Each grain of rice is wrapped in golden egg liquid, and the pink ham and green onions are embellished in between. The appearance and smell are really good."
As a foodie, she quickly forgave the boss for the bad snacks he had made earlier.
Maybe some people are just not good at baking!
Zhou Yiyang originally had no appetite, but after hearing Su Yin's description, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Xiao Xiao Su, you are not the boss's hired agent, are you?" Wang Xingrui was bewitched by her and filled half a bowl.
After taking a bite, her expression became increasingly exaggerated, and Zhou Yiyang was worried that her clothes would burst in the next second.
"tasty!"
Almost everyone who had eaten said this in unison.
It seems that the price of 2999 is reasonable.
"Not to mention the Hermès tableware," the boss said proudly, leaning against the door frame. "This bacon is made from the hind legs of top-quality Iberico pigs. These pigs must have grown up listening to classical music..."
"Alright," Zhou Yiyang interrupted his boss, "We're all in the same industry, so there's no need to talk about marketing techniques."
The boss returned in disappointment, he hadn't performed enough!
"By the way," Tang Yue suddenly looked at Luo Chen, who was struggling with a chicken drumstick with his mouth full of grease. "Brother Chen, I haven't heard from Brother Hu recently. Has he been put on ice?"
"Huh?" Luo Chen almost threw the chicken leg away. "It's impossible to freeze him. He seems to have gone abroad to film a movie. He should be back after your concert."
"Ling Hu is pretty good," Zhou Yiyang said with a tone full of regret. "He has a good image, sunny, and no black spots. It's a pity that he's not my artist."
"Boss Zhou," Bai Yangyu reminded, "Ling Hu is the boss of their company. It will be very difficult to poach him."
"I know," Zhou Yiyang sighed, "I just thought about it."
He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "But if I told you last year that I could sign Helian Bei, would anyone believe me? So, everything is possible."
"But among the young male artists," Luo Chen abruptly changed the subject. Everyone knew it, so they pretended not to notice. "Gao Yanyan is still the most popular. He was selling a magazine a while ago, and I heard it sold tens of millions of copies."
"Oh, right," Guan Fei scratched his head. "Gao Yanyan's movies and TV series have flopped in the past two years, but it didn't affect his popularity at all. His fans are too loyal."
"Alright," Zhou Yiyang interrupted the topic: "We're not familiar with artists from other companies, so let's stop gossiping."
After the meal, Su Yin went home contentedly.
"Oh, Brother Yang, please thank Brother Bei for me. He made me realize that even if God closes a window for some people, he opens another door. Boss Hei's craftsmanship is amazing!"
"Yes," Lin Xuan'er touched her belly, feeling somewhat hopeless. "I have such strong self-control, yet I ate a lot today."
"That braised chicken drumstick is amazing," Luo Chen smacked his lips. "It's a little spicy, but not greasy, and has a sweet aftertaste. He can actually make such an ordinary snack look so amazing!"
Tang Yue nodded. "And Mapo Tofu. Oh my god, I thought this dish was only delicious in cartoons. I ate two bowls of rice just because of it!"
"Uh," Su Yin felt like she was being tricked. "I finished three bowls of rice..."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it," Wang Xingrui said with tears streaming down her face. "I said I was going to lose weight, but I ate so much tonight. After our second album, we'll have a lot of performances. I wonder if I won't be able to fit into my pretty clothes!"
Guan Fei, the office worker, sighed: "Don't you even look at the price... a dish worth several thousand yuan, if it's not amazing, there will be a complaint to the Industry and Commerce Bureau!"
