Branch
Ever since I sent Lan Xing that picture of the river view during the summer vacation, Lan Xing on the other side of the ocean seemed to have returned to the way he was before going abroad - a smug curly-haired puppy.
The auditions for the Imperial Capital during the National Day were over, and the senior from No. 1 Middle School broke into the crowd of 100 people. The school directly hung a banner at the school gate to canvass votes for the senior.
"Pick up your phone and vote for our proud classmates." - Leng Jiajia
——"100 Talents Draft"
From this we can see that No. 1 Middle School is indeed a school with a free spirit.
The audition room officially launched, a 100-day closed audition. The production team had already released official photos of the 100-member group debut, and the sponsorships they had secured were particularly impressive. In Spring City's largest shopping district, a giant screen played a looping advertisement featuring the girls' energetic performance.
The show is really being discussed everywhere. Even teachers in school would chat about it during breaks. Hey, who are you going to vote for?
Because the slogan of this program is to compete with civilian idols, whoever gets more votes will debut.
"100 Talents Audition" is not like other domestic programs that audition singers. This program is defined as a girl idol group, and the makeup and styling of the program crew are particularly exquisite and avant-garde.
In the released trailer, the contestants' spare clothes alone took up an entire building, which came as a huge shock to the audience who were used to watching simple and unpretentious programs.
Customized songs, customized stages, and a large number of celebrity instructors are all big investments.
Shen Jize's early driving of this talent show has reached the scale of several big movies. Shen Boshan originally didn't pay much attention to this younger brother, but in the imperial capital, he could see the popularity of this program everywhere.
His partners frequently praised him for being particularly generous to his younger brother, saying, "Second Master Shen is young and promising. His program has become famous overseas."
After looking at the program funding table handed over by Secretary Hong, for the first time in his life he had a clear understanding of his brother's ability to spend money.
"You spent so much money, why didn't you tell me before?"
The office was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Shen Boshan flipping through documents.
Secretary Hong was quite dissatisfied. He said that the Second Young Master's affairs did not need to be reported, but he acted as if he knew how much money the Second Young Master could spend.
Rich people say one thing and mean another.
He didn't dare to complain at all, and said cautiously, "The Second Young Master's team said that some of the program funds will be recovered soon."
Shen Boshan looked at the program plan hesitantly. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately cancel the program.
Fortunately, the team around Shen Jize is not there to do the work, and the first voting for this program, which was funded by money, has begun.
The contestants' makeup and stage songs on the first evaluation stage are determined by audience voting and are divided into five levels: A, B, C, and D. It can be said that a large part of a contestant's outstanding performance on stage depends on whether he or she can get high-end makeup and songs.
Voting is divided into SMS voting and offline voting by purchasing program sponsorship products.
Each person voting by SMS counts as one vote, and each person purchasing a product from the program sponsor counts as two votes.
The first voting will last for three days, with real-time statistics every day.
Chuncheng is an offline voting station with a wide variety of drinks. After buying, the votes will be counted and stamped on the bottle caps. On the debut day of the group, you can collect the bottle caps with the debut contestants' stamps and exchange them for tickets or cash.
The first place winner wins a grand prize of 100,000 yuan, so this voting has some lottery characteristics.
When Yu Hua got off work, he made a detour to the polling station and bought two boxes of drinks, all of which he voted for Leng Jiajia.
"Dad, why are you buying so much?"
Yu Shu was surprised. They already had drinks distributed by the factory at home, and now they had two more boxes. They would drink them forever.
"It's different. I bought this to vote for Leng Jiajia. Dad is optimistic about her and believes she will definitely make her debut. If she's lucky, she might even win 100,000 yuan."
Yu Hua's pride disappeared after Qin Wan came back.
Qin Wan also bought two boxes, and now the family really can’t finish it all.
Yu Shu took a photo for Lan Xing. There were four boxes of drinks piled up in the corner of the living room.
: Crazy voting...By the way, I now have four joint names in my hands, isn’t that awesome!
Lan Xing enlarged the photo, and Yu Shu's big cat-head slippers also appeared in the corner of the photo. He squatted down, touched the kitten eating chicken breast at his feet, and said to Yu Shu: I will call you Niu Yuyu from now on. When will the joint venture be launched? I wonder if I can have a chance to buy Xiaoyu's joint work?
Yu Shu sent him a lot of product pictures to let him see the real face, and said: The day after the first rating stage ended, almost several joint names were launched online. You can take a look at the electronic version first, and then I will invite you when you return to China.
If it weren't for the difficulty her parents had in getting a visa, Yu Shu would have liked to go to Chicago to see him, after all, she had never traveled abroad.
Lan Xing finally said mysteriously that there would be a gift for her in December, but she didn't say what it was.
The talent show is getting more and more intense. Eighteen contestants have been eliminated halfway through. The most enthusiastic votes are not from the student group, but from adults who have been working for many years.
Regardless of whether they are following the trend or for the final lottery jackpot, many fans who spend money to vote have emerged in the competition. Every time a contestant reaches the top, the program team gives extremely considerable rewards, such as new advertisements and new contestant MVs.
Yu Shu voted for Leng Jiajia at the beginning, but she didn't vote much afterwards. She was afraid of being recognized at the polling station, and she couldn't just openly support one person. After all, this wasn't a comic, and every contestant on the show was a fan favorite.
What she cares about most at the moment is the liberal arts and science examination.
After this exam, we will start to divide the subjects into arts and science.
The liberal arts and science scores of No. 1 Middle School are relatively evenly matched. Although science scores still have the upper hand, there are also many top students in liberal arts, and every year there are also a few who are admitted to Didu and Shuimu.
Among the three classmates who came to No. 1 Middle School with Yu Shu, in the end only she and Zhou Changqing confirmed that they would study liberal arts. Even Su Yuekang, whose grades were struggling to reach the bottom of No. 1 Middle School, expressed his intention to choose science.
He said, "That day, when I climbed the Tengwang Pavilion and saw the surging river, a clear goal suddenly came to my mind: I want to study medicine. After all, life is just a matter of doing it!"
"Wait, isn't that four words?"
Xia Qiqi almost vomited while drinking the mung bean soup in the cafeteria.
"The road ahead is long and difficult, just keep going." Fu Xue picked up a chopstick of fried noodles and wished Su Yuekang well.
Generally, teachers will encourage students by saying that life will be easy once they go to college. However, when studying medicine, the whole semester is like the college entrance examination.
For a student like Su Yuekang who is not particularly diligent, I wonder how painful it would be to study medicine.
Zhou Changqing's eyes were filled with admiration. "Then keep up the good work. The math section for the liberal arts and science college entrance exams is different."
Su Yuekang's weakest subject is mathematics. Among the people present, he has the lowest score in mathematics. In the last exam, his score in mathematics was less than 90 points.
After hearing this, he made a bitter face and took a bite of the bun.
Yu Shu took a sip of soy milk. Everyone at the table looked different from what she remembered.
Xia Qiqi, who went to a private school, was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, Fu Xue, who studied liberal arts, wanted to study science, Zhou Changqing, who transferred to a school in another place, stayed in Chuncheng, and Zhong Cui, who went to No. 5 Middle School, came to No. 1 Middle School.
Su Yuekang, whose grades were at the bottom of the class, did not go to No. 9 Middle School to attend the international exchange class this time.
She also didn't go to No. 17 Middle School, which only had a large toilet.
She has changed so much in just one and a half years. She really lacked the courage to change before.
If she had been able to bravely resolve to change herself before her rebirth, wouldn't she have missed out on so much beauty, wouldn't she have been so muddleheaded and disgusted with herself...
But she also understood that she lacked external forces to push her forward. If she encountered setbacks at the beginning of the new environment, she would only choose to curl up and wait for the next new environment to open up.
That's why she is particularly obsessed with the virtual world, whether it's comics, novels, or games. These things can help her regain her confidence in the online world, allowing her to transform from an inconspicuous "fat woman, otaku" into a popular figure.
The liberal arts and science examination was carried out in a lively manner. This time, she won the first place in the liberal arts list in this new school environment.
"Yu Shu, you are number one!"
"Wow, how did you score so high on Chinese and only lose five points?"
Yu Shu’s name was hung high up on the school’s academic performance list, at the very top, with her photo next to her name.
The total score for liberal arts is 688.
This was a score she had never imagined. Although she had been pretending to study easily after her rebirth, only she and the system knew that she had been studying hard all night in the space.
Everyone was looking at their own results, and someone would congratulate her from time to time.
After the exam, in addition to being known as a cartoonist, she was also known as a top student in school.
After all, the future top scorer in liberal arts can shock them more.
Before the subject division, Yu Shu's grades were not even in the top 30. This time her results were particularly outstanding, and the head teachers of the two liberal arts experimental classes were competing for her.
In the end, no one won, and the head teacher drew lots to decide, and Class 3 went.
This year is another winter that is getting cold very quickly.
It's only November in the north and it's already snowing heavily.
The crew of "The Legend of Empress Dowager Li", whose filming was already in the final stage, returned to the imperial capital.
"November 23rd, Imperial Capital time. The Great Snowflake City is approaching. Citizens, please be careful when traveling..."
The radio was broadcasting the weather warning for the following week, but Lin Wu had a big idea in his mind.
"The Legend of Empress Dowager Li" still received a lot of sponsorship funds, and her pursuit of perfection made her want to create a big scene that she had conceived before.
So, there was no call for reshoots during the summer vacation, and four months later, I came to Spring City.
"Hey, Yushu, have you been busy with your studies lately? I mentioned that I needed to reshoot..."
There was heavy snow in the imperial capital, and the whole city was covered with white snow.
After the lake froze, three or two little sparrows were flying across the ice.
The production crew of "The Legend of Empress Dowager Li" built the largest set in the entire play, with more extras than those used in the Empress Dowager's wedding. The costumes were borrowed from other production crews.
This scene takes place before the establishment of the Joseon Dynasty, one month after Won Deok was born. Snow finally fell in the Central Plains after three years of drought. Even though countless people froze to death, it also brought hope. The founding emperor then raised his army, was invincible, and established the Joseon Dynasty.
Lin Wu dramatically combined the snow that Empress Dowager Li saw in Yuande in her later years with this snow. After two dynasties of prosperity, the world was about to fall into chaos again.
In this world, no matter how women fight, they are like sparrows on the ice, without real power, and they may disappear at any time with the collapse of the overall environment.
There is no eternal dynasty, only eternal struggle.
