Chapter 129

The company is promoting several projects at the same time, and has formed several teams around the projects. The only one who keeps moving is Jiang Juyou. All

she needs to do is to give out concepts and plans, and watch the people below complete them.

Pei Zhiping and the other four are recording songs in Seoul recently, and are not in China. Timetrain is in the promotional period of returning. When the materials and trailers to be released have been decided, there are no heavy tasks in the past few days, so the company's focus is on Equals3.

What needs to be done is to select the members of Equals3 as soon as possible and conduct more advanced training.

After lunch, Jiang Juyou took the coffee brought by the assistant and walked to the stair practice room downstairs according to the project prompts. All she saw along the way were related staff members of Equals3.

The young assistant followed Jiang Juyu, holding the information that the new group had just sent.

Jiang Juyu finished the last sip of coffee, and after getting out of the elevator, she did not walk towards the stair practice room, but walked towards the small conference room on the other side.

At this time, in the stair practice room, the trainees of the debut group and the staff who managed them had all arrived.

The team leader in charge of this project stood at the front, looking at the big boys staring at her below, and sighed silently in her heart.

"Is everyone here?" She looked at the staff beside her, with her hands in her back pockets. After seeing the other party nod, she lowered her head again and took a long breath.

She changed her posture, crossed her arms and said, "It has been half a year since you entered this group. You have learned vocal and musical instruments in more detail. I think you have guessed the company's plan."

"So this year is the day to announce the list."

Some trainees in the audience looked ahead, and some clasped their hands anxiously. They wanted to complain about the long preparations ahead, but when she really announced the list, everyone hoped that moment would come later.

"Those who have confirmed that they will become members of the debut group will go to the No. 3 meeting room next door. Those who failed to join will go to the No. 8 small meeting room for discussion."

After the team leader said this, he lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone, and the staff who were originally standing by the wall began to walk out.

"The results have been sent to everyone's mailboxes, please check them." After saying that, she touched the work badge on her chest and quickly left the practice room, leaving only the group of boys staring at each other.

The three people sitting in the last row were silently looking at the content on their phones.

"Notice: The selected members of "Equals3" are Chen Wu, Sang Mo, and Jiang Wangran."

The three people seemed to be stone statues, with only their eyeballs moving around. The other trainees sitting in front of them were sitting quietly.

The three of them looked at each other and didn't dare to move.

Sang Mo didn't know whether everyone could see this notice or only them, so he didn't dare to get up easily. Chen Wu had the same idea. Only Jiang Wangran was waiting for them, and he didn't know why they didn't get up yet.

"Let's go!" Seeing that they didn't get up for a long time, he got up and urged them.

The other people sitting in front turned around. Jiang Wangran didn't care about the gazes at all. He stretched and said, "What conference room did you say it was, 1 or 2?"

Hearing this, Sang Mo and Chen Wu couldn't help but dig their toes on the ground and tried their best to avoid the gazes of others.

There were people who had a good relationship with Sang Mo and shouted to them, "Congratulations."

"Thank you!" Jiang Wangran replied, and when he turned around, he saw the two people standing up, "Let's go!"

When they walked down the stairs, the boys who had a good relationship with Sang Mo and Chen Wu came over and hugged them. Jiang Wangran was not familiar with them, so he stood at the door and watched them chattering.

After talking for two or three minutes, he lost his patience and said, "I'll go first." He took two steps and leaned against the wall, "I don't know where it is."

"We'll go first." Sang Mo waved to his friends, and Chen Wu sighed after coming out. Both of them felt extremely heavy.

Chen Wu, who was walking in front, said, "Now I know how they felt before."

Sang Mo didn't respond, but he understood what he meant.

The complex emotions of not being able to be happy and not daring to be happy even though they have made their debut, made people feel so uncomfortable.

He came to the front of meeting room No. 3 with his head down, knocked on the door, and heard a voice from inside, "Come in."

After the door opened and he went in, Sang Mo looked at Jiang Zhi without warning, and even his steps slowed down.

He quickly bowed and greeted, "Hello, Jiang Zhi."

As Sang Mo lowered his head, the two people behind him saw the situation inside, Chen Wu also bowed and greeted, and Jiang Wangran followed suit.

Since they finished recording the show, they rarely met Jiang Zhi, and the last time they met was three months ago.

Jiang Wangran came only last week, so naturally he had never seen Jiang Zhi, and only saw her on the screen.

Different from the reservedness of the two men, Jiang Wangran felt as if he saw an artist and found it amazing. When Jiang Zhi looked over, he did not evade his gaze, but tilted his head to look at him in a studying manner.

In front of a real social bull, it is useless to pretend.

Jiang Juyu: "..."

She looked away and looked at the folder. At this time, the team leader who had just gone to the restroom came back and said hurriedly: "Sorry, I just went to the restroom. OK, you three introduce yourselves first, and then we will start."

Unlike the previous meeting where only the staff of the new department were present, their future agents and operation team were also sitting in this conference room.

Chen Wu, who was sitting in the middle, turned his head and glanced at Sang Mo. Sang Mo quickly said, "Hello teachers, my name is Sang Mo, and I am 17 years old this year."

"Hello teachers, my name is Chen Wu, and I am also 17 years old this year."

When they spoke, their voices were relatively low, revealing some caution, but when it was Jiang Wangran's turn, the volume suddenly became louder, startling the people opposite.

"Hello teachers, my name is Jiang Wangran, and I am 17 years old this year!"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to speak so loudly." The team leader lowered his volume and said, "This is producer Jiang Juyou, who is responsible for your future group planning. I am--"

The staff in the conference room also introduced themselves one by one, and only got down to business after getting to know each other.

"The name of the group Equals3 actually tells you that we only need three members. This is also the reason why you have been learning guitar and bass for so long. The company wants to create a band with strong musicality."

The screen suddenly showed the group's logo, with the S and 3 in Equals3 forming a small butterfly hanging next to it.

Equals3 is a group consisting of two guitarists and a bassist. As for the other musicians, they are supplemented by other professionals, and the personnel are not fixed.

The three of them are both musicians and lead singers.

After explaining the composition of the group, the picture on the screen was cut off and replaced by a concept collage with the extension of the characters around the three members.

As the saying goes, in the big melting pot of the entertainment industry, the most feared thing is to have no characteristics.

Among the three of them, Sang Mo was the last one to be confirmed. He is somewhat similar to Ye Xing in Timetrain, but fortunately, Ye Xing finally found his own colors, while Sang Mo has not, and still hasn't.

He did everything well, but nothing stood out. In the end, he was able to stand out from the crowd, all thanks to his popularity and face that he had accumulated before.

Whether it was Jiang Juyou or other staff members, they hesitated again and again about Sang Mo's selection. In the end, it was Jiang Juyou who finalized and selected Sang Mo as the last member.

As for whether someone will be replaced or more candidates will be added in the future...

it's hard to say.

"We want to highlight Chen Wu's role as a music producer in the team," she said, looking at Jiang Jueyou, then turned to Chen Wu and said, "But with your current ability, it's still a little difficult to have a first-rate song, but we will provide you with many opportunities to participate in the future, so in future external publicity, we will highlight this point in you."

"As for Jiang Wangran, he has a good appearance and a very outstanding personality." When she said this, everyone else lowered their heads and smacked their lips.

The problem is that his personality is too outstanding. He has not experienced a long period of trainee life, and his edges and corners have not been smoothed out, so he stands out among the well-behaved and sensible trainees in Random Entertainment.

But the reason why he was able to be airborne into the debut group is all due to his extraordinary strength and stage vitality that crushes others.

Jiang Wangran will not be as restrained as others, as if he has never had an inferiority complex and is full of confidence in himself.

It is this self-confidence and self-love, as well as his love for the stage and music, that allowed him to be airborne directly into the debut group.

When the members were initially selected, he also gave the staff a headache for a long time.

Jiang Wangran is not easy to discipline, and he does not have such admiration for random entertainment. It is easy for him to get into trouble. Everyone has held many meetings because of his uncertainty.

But it is precisely because of this that his personality and image are the most prominent. The new staff remembered him even though the other trainees did not. This alone is enough to make him a candidate.

The images and personalities of the three people were analyzed, which was an explanation for them and also for Jiang Juyou.

After confirming that the three of them had no objection to the company's decision, the team leader said: "Okay, I will make an appointment with you later. Please ask your parents to come and sign the contract. You can rest for the next two days and wait for the new schedule to come out before training."

At the same time, the trainees who were not selected were also notified of one thing.

"The company plans to focus on operating the existing groups, so there will be no new boy and girl groups in the next three years."

This was not only said to them, but all the trainees were notified.

In addition to Timetrain, which has already debuted, and its direct descendants AIcho and Equals3, Random Entertainment will also operate two limited girl groups and one limited boy group.

The company does not have enough staff and energy to run so many groups at the same time, so after deciding on a male group, the trainees who are too old will have to be dismissed.

And the last group must be decided before the end of the year.

In other words, among the remaining 28 trainees who meet the requirements, only seven can debut, and the ones closest to debut will have the opportunity to participate in talent shows as company trainees.

This set of things made them a little flustered. The male trainees still have a chance, but for the female trainees, except for the twelve who can participate in the show, the rest will decide whether to stay or leave according to their personal wishes. If they

stay, the next chance will be three or four years later.

Those who have already debuted or are in the debut group naturally didn't know about the turmoil in the new talent development department. By the time they heard about it, half of the trainee apartment was already empty.

Because they were too busy abroad and had little time to play with their phones, Pei Zhiping and the other four were the last to know about it.

Han Lemi, who was sweating all over, sat on the treadmill, panting while reading the messages sent by her friends.

"Oh my... I basically finished walking." Han Lemi glanced at the apartment software, which had dormitory information. Many small houses had turned off their lights, which meant that no one was currently living in the dormitory.

Yu Dan, who couldn't run, just stopped with this excuse. She panted and stretched out her hand to Han Lemi, "... Let me see."

The apartment software showed that in addition to them, there were only the twelve girls who were sure to participate in the talent show.

"Oh no, the little ones are here too." Yu Dan flipped through the pages and found that the trainees who were about 11 or 12 years old were still there. Yu

Dan walked a few slow steps and then stopped the treadmill completely. He fell to the ground with a dying look and stared at Han Lemi.

"But it's understandable. There are about a hundred male and female trainees in total. It's really expensive to support so many people." Han Lemi felt sorry for Jiang Zhi. Those boys can eat so much. I heard that their food expenses are three times that of the girls.

Yu Dan, who was paralyzed on the ground, was in no mood to worry about others. She was only worried about them. Yu Dan glanced at Pei Zhiping and Si Yanyu who were still running, and said to Han Lemi, "Compared with them, we are just cockroaches crawling in the dark."

Han Lemi looked back after hearing that

Pei Zhiping had a high ponytail, and even after running for almost half an hour, her ponytail was not loose, and Si Yanyu had a bun. The two of them were wearing headphones and running attentively. Their self-discipline was something that they could not catch up with.

They were both the type who loved to show off, but Yu Dan was the type who would force herself to improve herself when she saw others learning. Han Lemi was different. She was a real bug.

Seeing Yu Dan standing on the treadmill again, Han Lemi staggered and fell backwards, "Help! Someone stop them!"

Han Lemi suspected that her habit of feeling sleepy whenever she studied in elementary school had spread, and now she had a disease that made her feel tired whenever she tried to make progress.

"It's decided, Beijing... Qingdao and Wuhan." Jiang Juyu sat at her desk, pretending to be thinking hard.

Cong Lixia didn't answer, because she would change again in a moment.

The next second, she raised her hand to stop him, "Wait!"

Jiang Juyu tilted her head and said, "How about Qingdao, Xiamen, Nanjing!"

Cong Lixia still didn't say anything.

"Forget it! Let's go to Beijing, Qingdao, Wuhan!" Jiang Juyu said.

There was a map in front of her. Because there was nothing important this morning, she had been sitting here studying it for two hours.

"I've decided. Beijing, Qingdao, and Wuhan." Jiang Juyou said this, and when she found that Cong Lixia didn't respond, she called out, "Cong Lixia?"

"I'm here."

Unlike her previous excited and energetic voice, Cong Lixia's words sounded tired after being tortured for a long time.

She was too lazy to respond.

Jiang Juyou said it again, "Beijing, Qingdao, Wuhan, that's it."

"Are you sure?" Cong Lixia asked her, mainly because she was afraid that she would regret it later.

"Sure."

"But there's already one in Beijing."

"Can't there be two?"

"...Okay."

"Then do as I say."

Cong Lixia was silent for two seconds, and after making sure that she would not change it, she redeemed the reward.

"Ding——"

A pleasant reminder sound rang, and Jiang Juyu's mood improved.

She turned on her phone, took a look at the new building displayed on the software, and the feeling of playing games was evoked again.

Speaking of games——

"Ah! I was wondering why I was so busy today and no one came to see me." Jiang Juyu remembered that today was the first day Timetrain returned.

She crossed out the panel in front of her, then opened her phone and searched the names of several people from Timetrain.

Before crossing it out, she did not forget to say goodbye to Cong Lixia, "Bye, see you later."

The preview timeline of Timetrain this time is very unique. There are two lines, one is the timeline for releasing the members' individual MVs, and the other is the timeline for the title song.

Ji Qiao's trailer and MV raised the public's expectations for the others. The makeup and settings of the following members were also very good, but they just didn't feel as fitting as Ji Qiao.

In addition, he had an awards ceremony right after to boost his popularity, so everyone felt that Ji Qiao's MV was more topical and the data was also very good.

As for the title song that didn't spend much money on promotion -

relying on the game "Strange Country", it easily beat other songs.

So much so that after the album went on sale offline today, there was an unprecedented crazy rush.

Perhaps it was predicted in advance, all offline locations implemented flow control, and people lined up outside.

The crazy rush is for those who want to get the VR version first. They will pay a high price to buy it from those who have come out.

The price of face-to-face transactions on second-hand websites has soared to 10,000, and the cost of purchasing on behalf of others is thousands.

Even though Jiang Juyou now has an annual salary of one million, she is still tempted.

"Tsk... I still haven't adapted to the identity of a rich person." At this point, Jiang Juyou suddenly remembered that there was something more important today.

"Jiang Juyou: @姜糖小有名氣, sister, I have transferred the money to your card, remember to give it to me."

"Jiang Juyou: I have nothing to do this weekend, how about I accompany you?"

"Jiang Tang小有名氣: No, you are more famous than me, forget it, don't let those paparazzi smell it." "

Jiang Liuxing: Then I accompany you?"

"Jiang Tang小有名氣: I said no!"

The reason for not having to is of course because Jiang Tang is now standing at the gate of someone else's community.

The slightly old gate of the community is full of various vendors, and the GG signboard is dirty. It can be seen that it is a store that has been open for many years.

And this place is where Jiang Tang comes every month, every festival, and every year. She

remembers this road better than her home.

Jiang Tang bought some fruit at the door, then touched the bank card in her bag, took a long breath, and then walked in with heavy steps.

Jiang Liuxing put down his phone and fell back on the carpet, lying side by side with the other two people, and continued to play the strange country.

"I also have VR glasses at home, but I feel dizzy when I put them on. This one is okay, there is no dizziness." Liu Yue held the handle and controlled the game screen. Because she just got started, it was a little difficult to control.

Zhou Keke next to him said, "I thought the people in it were real, but you can still see traces of modeling."

"This is fine. If it's really real, I'll be scared to death." Jiang Liuxing said with her head tilted. She also said, "Come on! There are so many fish here!"

The joy brought by highly free games lies here - exploration and development.

The game was really popular when it was first launched, but it dropped a lot after a month, and those who stayed have found their own way of playing.

For example, those who want to play games but have to study, they spontaneously set up a club, found a school to enroll, and went online every day to hang up the game and use it as an online study room.

This method really works, because there is a group of people, and no one wants to be the first to lose their temper, so everyone is holding back their anger and studying hard.

There are also people like Jiang Liuxing who like to play wild games. They either go to the ski resort to cut trees in the forest or go fishing in the rain forest in the south. They play the game like a survival game.

They are keen on sea fishing these days, so they came to the beach again. Today, they happened to install VR glasses for sale. After putting on the glasses, they can feel the beauty of fishing on the coast.

Especially today, the weather in the game is cloudy, the sun is not strong, you can see the coastline in the distance, and you can see the soft white clouds when you look up.

That feeling is really -

"It's so beautiful!"

The three people exclaimed at the same time, and everyone laughed out loud when they heard this tacit sentence.

Then a message panel suddenly appeared in front of him, and those mobile phone users also received it.

[Butler: The bank sent a message saying that if you make more money, you can deposit it back into the small treasury.]

"What does that mean?"

"Isn't it what I thought it meant?"

"Huh?"

The three people stood up at the same time, took off their VR glasses, and looked at each other.

Some mobile phone users have already tried it first. They deposited the money in their wallets back into the small treasury, but it prompted:

"Bank: The exchange rate is different, can you accept it?"

After clicking [Accept], 100 ink coins were deposited into the small treasury.

A few seconds later, a bank message came to their phones - [ 0.5 yuan has been deposited ] " Ah

...
