Chapter 23 (1)

In the past, when they got together, in order to take care of Jiang Juyou who was far away from this circle, the two of them rarely talked about their own affairs because Jiang Juyou would not understand. But now it is different. It feels like Jiang Juyou now speaks more clearly than the other two.

"It depends on whether you want to become famous or you really like acting. If you really like acting, you might as well give up commercial films for the time being and switch to art films."

"Find some roles that suit your image. Art film directors like to find actors who are not much different from the characters, so you might as well go there to gain experience first."

"Once you have accumulated a certain amount of ability, you can go back to commercial films and take on

small roles." "If you want to start making money and increase your commercial value, you have to work harder on your appearance, but it's best not to fill anything or go under the knife. You have to lose weight and take care of your skin. You can take some small roles first, which will make it easier to market the show when it's aired."

After analyzing her sister's future path, Jiang Juyu found that the two of them were looking at her with their mouths slightly open and a slightly dull expression.

Jiang Tang, who didn't even want to eat, put down his chopsticks and said with a heartbroken look, "Oh my God, what have you been through in the past two months?"

Jiang Liuxing also sighed, "You know, my second sister didn't even know who the top stars were before... As expected, she will be tortured beyond recognition after going to work. It seems that I still have to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

Jiang Juyou just told them that she joined a new company. At that time, there were only her and the boss in the company. The boss was a rich second generation. Later, he quit because he felt troubled and handed the company over to her to manage.

This statement would definitely be nonsense if it were put in other industries, but it makes sense to put it in the entertainment industry. After all, anything can happen in this place, so the two believed it.

Jiang Juyou must have made a lot of efforts to become the chief producer from having no interest in the entertainment industry before.

Hearing her sister say this, Jiang Juyou immediately felt sad. Her brother hugged them tightly, and she cried out loudly, "Really... you don't know what I have been through in the past two months!" She

wanted to complain, but she had experienced so much pain that Jiang Juyou didn't know where to start.

"Knock knock--" The waiter knocked on the door.

The three people who were hugging each other sat down immediately and pretended that nothing had happened.

Sure enough, there was a reason why they could become sisters and not quarrel.

None of them was normal.

On a sunny morning, Jiang Tang had just finished negotiating the termination of the contract with the company and walked out of the company lightly.

But she was one of the few who terminated the contract peacefully. Several others were planning to sue the company, claiming that they had not released an album as agreed in the contract, which had delayed their youth.

They also wanted to invite Jiang Tang to join them, but Jiang Tang had already found a new job and naturally had no time to join them.

To be honest, in a place like Beijing, with free food and accommodation and about 4,000 yuan a month, Jiang Tang felt that it was already very good. She even thought that it was great that the company was willing to tell the truth and let them go early. There were many companies in the entertainment industry that drained people to death.

But she would not blame her teammates for anything, because those were indeed their losses.

She returned to the dormitory to pack her things and planned to move out. Jiang Juyu could not provide accommodation for the time being, so she had to live with Jiang Liuxing first.

Jiang Liuxing has a studio. Now that school has not started, she lives in the studio. Jiang Tang can go over and squeeze in with her first.

After Jiang Tang got out of the elevator, she looked for the key in her bag. When she opened the door and went in, she saw that several suitcases that should have been in the bedroom were piled in the living room. The zipper of one snakeskin bag was not even zipped up, and the clothes inside fell to the ground.

"..."

She calmed down and said nothing. She just went over and put the clothes back into the bag.

The doors of several bedrooms were closed, so Jiang Tang did not go in, but sat on the suitcase. She called a van and planned to take all the things to Jiang Liuxing's place.

While she was waiting, she could still hear laughter coming from the bedroom.

"Huh..." Jiang Tang let out a long breath and raised her head to look at the ceiling.

On the other side, Jiang Liuxing, who was tidying up the bedroom of the studio, took a look at the place she had arranged and nodded with satisfaction.

She rented a vacant villa, which had a better value for money than office buildings and ordinary houses. In addition, it was a rough house, and she paid for a simple painting and decoration herself, so the price was even lower.

The office was on the first and second floors, and Jiang Liuxing lived on the basement floor. The basement floor was not big either, and half of it was a garage. The remaining two rooms were just for her and her sister. Jiang Tang could usually come in directly from the garage, and there happened to be a car, so she could drive it if she needed to.

This room had been vacant before, and it was filled with her express deliveries. Jiang Liuxing spent a whole day cleaning it up yesterday, and went to IKEA to buy things for her sister early in the morning, and she was only done now.

Because they live underground and the air is not circulating, Jiang Liuxing also bought an air purifier, but this is something she bought before, and the one she ordered this morning has not arrived yet, so she put the one she used in her sister's room first.

Jiang Liuxing, who was finally able to sit down and rest, sent a message to the group: "I'm ready, when will you arrive, sister?"

"Jiang Tang will definitely be popular next year: just got on the car, there are still one and a half hours."

"Liuxing is Ziweixing: OK, send me a message when you are almost there."

At the same time, Jiang Juyou was meeting with the staff in the conference room.

The performance department has already confirmed two performances, one in late October two months later, and the other in early November. The follow-up only needs to report the progress to her.

The main thing today is the various marketing plans for the next performance. She talked to the people in the marketing department last week, and they are being implemented.

"In terms of APP marketing, our idea here is to focus on promoting products and products. The domestic entertainment industry is led by actors, and the idol circle is more active in overseas groups. There are also a large number of domestic fans, so it is more appropriate to promote this."

"Based on the idea you proposed last week yesterday, we can hold an event. In addition, we are making progress in the implementation of album sales. If the status is updated, we will report back to you."

Jiang Juyou nodded after listening and looked at the newcomer department, waiting for the speaker.

"…As for the interns, the video was recorded last Friday, and they have been divided into classes according to their current situations. Here is the list."

"Eight more interns came in this week, and now the total number of interns is 20..."

In the early stages, most of the interns were from Beijing, and even though many people came in later, more than half of the interns are still from Beijing.

Jiang Juyou looked at the list and had a general understanding of the class division. She touched her eyebrows and calculated the performance time after so many people went on stage. After the calculation, she frowned.

"Tell the trainees that the number of group stages will remain unchanged, and the quota for the solo stage will be seven people based on the pre-inspection in two weeks. That is to say, out of the twenty trainees, only seven can go on stage to show the solo stage. Let them go back and practice well. Those who come last three times in a row will be terminated."

When the word "termination" was mentioned, everyone in the venue looked at her with frowns.

Jiang Juyou always smiled at the staff and seemed to have a gentle temperament, but when facing the trainees, she was like a wolf, extremely ferocious.

Everyone sitting there was worried about the trainees. It was really too cruel.

"Okay, today's meeting ends here... Oh, by the way, ask HR to hire an artist agent." Jiang Juyou said, preparing to stand up. Everyone else looked at her and stopped moving for a moment.

Before this, the company did not have any signed artists, so there was no general affairs department. Now, hearing what the boss said, it seems that the company will have its own artists soon.

The employees exchanged glances, slightly excited.

To see what the fate of ordinary people is, just look at the commuters on the subway.

Every time Jiang Juyou takes the subway, she feels like a worker ant in the ant kingdom. She lives not to realize her own ideals, but to realize the ideals of others. She goes in and out of the subway morning and night, and earns that little salary just to survive.

Especially since this subway train goes to their school, Jiang Juyou was in an even worse mood.

The three major disasters in her life: returning to school, adjusting her leave, and returning to work.

After leaving the subway station, a strong wave of heat came over her. Jiang Juyou closed her eyes and took a deep breath again, "…Why do I still have to take compulsory courses in my senior year?"

She walked towards the school with heavy steps, and after walking for only two steps, she started running again, "Ahhh, I'm going to be late!"

Jiang Juyou ran towards the teaching building with her backpack on her back, cursing as she ran, "Why doesn't this crappy school allow shared bicycles to come in!"

Until yesterday, she was still the chief producer who planned and strategized in the company, but today she has become a miserable senior returning to school, and even the kind of weak college student who can be killed by just running a few steps.

In this hot summer, she was panting, and suddenly stopped when passing a gg board, and took two steps back.

"Gail Xi's random dance activity..." Jiang Juyou didn't expect to see her company's gg in their school. She vaguely heard about it in a meeting some time ago. It seems that because of insufficient budget, the company can only promote it offline.

Jiang Juyou wiped the sweat from her forehead and reacted, "Isn't it today?"

The time for the second performance is this afternoon. Jiang Juyou has classes in the morning, and she will have to rush back after class.

Thinking of this, Jiang Juyou once again remembered the reason why she appeared in school, "Ah, ah, this time I'm really going to be late!" When

she arrived at the university classroom, there were many people who entered the class on time. When Jiang Juyou went upstairs, there was a crowd of people waiting for the elevator in front of her. She was afraid that she would be too late, so she could only run to the stairs and climb up quickly.

Halfway up the mountain, she ran into an acquaintance.

"Hey! Kikyo!" Only her roommates could call her that. The one

who called her was the one who lived in the bed opposite Jiang Juyu, named Liu Yue. Like Jiang Juyu, she was carrying a backpack, but she was holding the book in her arms.

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Liu Yue handed the small fan in her hand to her, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you're late, many people have asked for leave and haven't come."

Hearing this, Jiang Juyou gasped and said, "...Is it possible?"

"No, so you have to deduct your average time points." Liu Yue walked with her and added, "I don't have confidence in the final exams later, and I can only rely on my average time points, so I dare not ask for leave."

Jiang Juyou also lost interest after hearing this, "Forget it, I don't have confidence either."

The two of them climbed up slowly, and after finding the classroom, they discovered that the teacher had not come yet. Jiang Juyou breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately."

The other two people in the same dormitory had already arrived and helped to take seats. The two waved to Jiang Juyou, "Jigen! Here!"

Before the two of them sat down, the two suggested, "Let's get together later. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Okay!" Liu Yue readily agreed, but added, "I just have something to do after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so I can only have lunch."

"Let's eat in the school cafeteria. We both have something to do in the afternoon... I want to eat spicy hot pot."

"I want to eat the skewers on the third floor."

"What kind of skewers are you eating in this hot weather!"

Jiang Juyu raised her hand and said, "I can't, sisters. I have to rush back to the company after class."

"Didn't you ask for leave?"

"...I did."

"Don't tell me that your company only allows you to take three hours off?" "

What a crappy company!"

After cursing, she said, "Okay, let's get together next time. Today, let's just the three of us."

It's not that easy for a working person to return to school. During class, Jiang Juyu had to lower her head to reply to messages from time to time. Fortunately, the teacher saw it and didn't say anything, allowing her to finish the class with the air conditioning on.

After class, Jiang Juyou left. The three people didn't have time to say a word to her before she disappeared.

"Do you know where Kikyo works?"

"I don't know. She never told me."

"Well, I'll talk to her privately later. If her company doesn't work out, let her come to work here. At least she can still make some money."

Liu Yue packed her schoolbag and stood up. The two people also turned their attention to her. "Hey! What are you going to do after dinner? Are you going back to the company too?"

"I'm not going to work. My family got me the internship certificate. There's a random dance event in the afternoon. I want to go and see it." Liu Yue protected her bag, which contained a camera. If it got bumped, it would be useless.

"Where?"

The composition of their dormitory was three star chasers and an ordinary person who lived in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Juyou's elder sister is an artist and her younger sister is a stand-up girl. In the dormitory, the bed opposite her is a fan of foreign bands, while the other two are fans of domestic entertainment. Her previous life can be said to have been a passing through the world of domestic entertainment.

Liu Yue is the one who is a fan of foreign artists. During the summer vacation, she has been watching concerts abroad and has traveled to seven or eight countries. If it weren't for the start of school, she would not have come back.

The other two followed the idol in entertainment, but they mainly followed the idol through the screen and rarely went offline.

"Here..." Liu Yue took out her mobile phone to show them the address.

The two of them smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

It had the three words "Gai Lexi" written on it, and it was the place they were going to.

As the performance time approached, not only the trainees were anxious and nervous, but also Jiang Juyu.

She didn't sleep well last night, and she was running back and forth today. She was almost dying before the performance started.

Jiang Juyu, who had low blood sugar, was replenishing sugar at the backstage of the venue. Several ministers were also sitting together, chatting about the movements in the building next door.

Li Yao handed the phone to Jiang Jueyou and showed her: "I just went to take a picture next door, there are quite a lot of people."

"That's not true, don't you see how hard we promote it?" Zhao Xu boasted.

If you can't lead a team, you can only work hard by yourself. After Jiang Jueyou got on track in the company, she gradually assigned the work to the people below. This time, she proposed a plan for the second public marketing, and the people below implemented it.

When the marketing department was thinking about marketing countermeasures, these people from the A&R department also helped a lot.

The structure of the Galese Building is that the first to third floors are connected, and you can stand on it to see the movements of the people on the first floor, but the fourth floor is a closed floor like the fifth floor.

The first floor was set up as a place suitable for random dancing, the second floor was a place for selling domestic and foreign albums and peripherals, and the third floor was a pop-up store.

This proposal was from Zhao Xuxiang. She contacted a top Beijing fan club in China and set up a place for fans to check in and take photos. The place was full of roles played by the top male star. In order to facilitate fans to take photos, three-dimensional Q-version characters were made, and even staff members were asked to walk back and forth on the third floor in doll costumes.

The fourth floor was another plan. The contact person was Yang Siyu. She contacted a fan club with good connections abroad and held an exhibition on the fourth floor in her name. She also contacted the domestic fan club to promote it.

Basically, there is one event on each floor. It would be strange if there were not many people coming.

After Jiang Juyu arranged this task, the three of them understood her meaning at the first time.

To be honest, there are only so many star-chasers in the entire Internet. The only ones with some barriers are the internal entertainment and external entertainment circles. In these two circles, everyone has more than one favorite, not to mention the number of walls.

Although the circles are different, the characteristics of star-chasers are very consistent, that is, they love to make friends. Open the Weibo of a star-chaser at random, and you can find that they have many friends in the fan circle who follow each other.

And this is their goal.

Jiang Juyu thought so too, one is to promote the APP of Galenxi's Small World, and the other is to promote those trainees.

At this time, there were many staff members in the Gailexi mall wearing uniforms, introducing the free-food event and the free-food event by downloading the APP to the surrounding fans, and at the same time, they also had to introduce some personal goods, promoting the performance next door at 5 pm.

The staff member introduced: "...There is one more thing, that is, after everyone leaves the mall, walk along the building to the left, and you will see a concert venue. There are free performances to watch. The performance starts at 5 pm. If you are interested, you can go and take a look now before the random event starts."

This kind of promotion is like a virus, and the exposure is much greater than simply holding a lottery on Weibo. Their Weibo friends are all real people.

Of course, all the free-food events so far are just incidental, and the main goal is still the performance in the afternoon.

After watching the video, Jiang Juyou waved to the staff beside her and said, "Don't be so strict about the performance this afternoon. As long as the photos are not too blatant with the phone held high, don't worry about it."

The plan was very good, but whether it went according to her idea was another matter.

She had no burden in the first performance. She couldn't get any worse anyway. But this time was different. As long as she stagnated, she would be regressing.

Her mood now was no less than that of the trainees waiting backstage during the first performance. She felt so nervous that she could vomit at any time.

The others sitting on the sofa seemed much more relaxed. They talked and laughed, and even had the energy to comfort Jiang Juyou.

At this moment, Jiang Juyu only hated that she was not an employee. If only she worked for others, it would be fine. Good or bad had nothing to do with her. She just needed to get her salary on time every month.

"Ha..." She was getting more and more anxious the more she thought about it.

The random dance activity over there was scheduled to start at three o'clock. After dinner time, more and more people gathered at the scene.

Liu Yue and the other two who rushed over from school were also there, but they were now on the second floor.

"There are quite a lot of people."

"There are always a lot of people at random dance activities, especially on Fridays."

"But if it's Saturday or Sunday, there should be more people, right?"

"Of course, I don't know why it was chosen on Friday."

The two of them lay on the fence, looking at the big screen hanging in the distance, which was playing an MV. Liu Yue, who was sitting on a chair nearby, took out two small talisman cards and began to pray to the gods.

The other two were fans of the actor and had not seen such a scene before. In addition to Liu Yue, there were some other fans at the scene. They were all like Liu Yue, holding the albums they had just bought, with a mysterious look on their faces.

"Please, even if it's not my destiny, please don't let me draw the one that can't be sold." After Liu Yue finished praying, she devoutly took out a plastic knife and cut open the album cover.

The two people lying on the railing also turned to look at her.

After Liu Yue turned over the small cards, she didn't rush to read them, but put them on the table, taped them with a talisman card, and continued to chant.

The two people standing there complained about her at a volume that Liu Yue could hear, "Who said that fans of neiyu are crazy? I think everyone is the same."

"It's so funny. Can you pray to the Virgin Mary and Avalokitesvara together?"

"Will it work if she prays now? Sticking it on won't change the appearance of the card."

"It's just psychological comfort."

"Keep your voice down. She will hear it soon."

Liu Yue opened her eyes, "...She has heard it."

The two people laughed and urged her, "Open it quickly!"

Liu Yue took a deep breath and turned over the card, "...Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Bad news: it's not my zodiac, it's my opponent's.

Good news: my opponent's card is very expensive.

The two talkative POE fans came over again and started to rub salt into Liu Yue's wounds.

"Who is this?"

"Pretty good-looking."

"Looks familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

"Look at her expression, it shouldn't be her real one."

"Could it be a rival?"

"I remember, the table next to me just spent 120 yuan to get one of these."

Liu Yue closed her eyes: "..."

She packed up her things and quickly changed the topic from the small card, "Let's go, I heard there's a top POE pop-up store upstairs." After that, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

The two people behind him put their hands behind their backs and said:

"That's my opponent."

"That's my next door."

Liu Yue: "..."

They came up and hugged Liu Yue, "But we can go to the fifth floor. I heard that it's very cheap upstairs. We will accompany you downstairs to watch the random dance at three o'clock, but remember to accompany us to watch the performance at five o'clock!"

What else can Liu Yue say? Her afternoon schedule has been arranged by them. :)

Different from those random activities held in shopping malls, this place is a paradise for star chasers. There will be no passers-by who know nothing, and no messy children. Here, if you pay a little attention, you can recognize the fan status of the other party from the dress of the people present. This feeling of being one of their own people makes the star chasers who come to participate in this event feel very satisfied.

At nearly three o'clock, the first floor was already crowded. The staff was checking the equipment. There was a circle of people standing outside the fenced-off area, and some were even leaning on the railings to watch.

The MV was still playing on the big screen between the third and second floors. Everyone looked up and watched. When a song ended, a countdown suddenly sounded: "3! 2! 1!" The

unexpected start caused cheers. When the music sounded, people around immediately ran to the middle position, and some sang along.

This atmosphere of playing recklessly while young is really good. After each song, people around cheered and applauded.

The roommate standing next to Liu Yue urged her, "Why don't you go up?"

Liu Yue: "...You just found out today that my limbs are not coordinated?"

"Then what are you doing here?" The roommate had a question mark on his head.

Liu Yue replied, "I'm just here to feel the atmosphere!" She turned to look at the person next to her, "Don't you think the atmosphere is good? It feels like you're in a better mood."

The other person nodded, "That's right."

Even though the two hentai fans hadn't heard of these songs, they also watched them with Liu Yue for a long time. The MVs were played on the screen. They were like curious babies. When they saw a good-looking person, they would ask what his name was.

When the hit song of the year was played randomly, everyone, whether on the scene or upstairs, broke out in a chorus, and the atmosphere was officially heated to the peak.

The two people who were originally there just to accompany Liu Yue also started to sway to the music, and the song list was enriched a lot.

At this time, the backstage of the venue was preparing for the last rehearsal, and there was no one to organize. The trainees rushed over immediately after school and gathered in the practice room spontaneously. Gao Xiayu shouted the beat and followed the dance moves.

The list of solo stages for the second public performance this time is no different from the first public performance. The only difference is that last time, only trainees from one to seven can appear with their own solo stages according to the ranking.

Gao Xiayu is the seventh one, and the one ahead of him is even Ye Xing.

"Ye Xing, the angle is wrong, open your arms a little more." Gao Xiayu looked at Ye Xing with a cold face.

Ye Xing, who was called out, rubbed his fingertips helplessly, then put them in place as required, and said, "I'm sorry."

When doing the next move, Ye Xing was called out again.

"Ye Xing, stretch your arms straight. If you can't stretch them straight, the picture will be very ugly."

Ye Xing explained, "I stretched them straight, it's because of the clothes." He wore a loose long-sleeved shirt today, and the sleeves were piled together, so it was easy to see the movements.

After listening to the explanation, Gao Xiayu didn't say anything, but continued to shout the beat, but Ye Xing was called out again.

"Ye Xing, you don't just throw your hands out directly, you have to hold them still, your muscle control is too poor."

"I'm sorry..."

There were so many trainees on the scene, and except for Chi Qiao and Gao Xiayu, who did a good job in muscle control, the others were all the same. Even a fool could hear that Gao Xiayu was targeting Ye Xing.

But the others turned around and looked at Ye Xing, and didn't say anything.

This time, the group's repertoire was divided into several groups. There were five people in their group, and Gao Xiayu was the leader. He was in charge of the choreography and positioning.

Ye Xing stood in the corner except for the two lines he sang.

Everyone could see something, but they couldn't tell what was wrong because Ye Xing's ability was really not good enough.

During the pre-inspection a week ago, like the performance, there was no immediate comment. Instead, the trainees were asked to wait in another room, and the producers and teachers stayed here to discuss who could perform the solo.

While waiting, they were also guessing.

"Only seven people are allowed to go on. Does that mean there will only be seven debut positions in the future?"

"It's very likely."

"I don't think I can make it this time. I just made a mistake in a dance move."

"Don't mention it. I just sang it wrong."

Ye Xing, whose performance was not very impressive, also felt that there was no hope this time, so he sat in the corner and waited quietly for the staff sister to come and inform him of the results.

About 20 minutes later, a staff member came to announce the results, and even posted the ranking sequence of this inspection.

But there was one result that didn't match the one just announced, which was Ye Xing's ranking.

"Sister, is this wrong? Ye Xing is sixth, and here he is ranked eleventh." Chen Wu pointed to the list and asked, and the other trainees also looked over.

The staff member shook her head and said, "Yes, this is the decision made by the teachers after discussion." After that, she looked at Ye Xing and said, "Ye Xing, come with me, the producer wants to talk to you."

Ye Xing, whose name was called, felt like he was being pointed at by multiple swords, and he was worried about taking a single step forward.

The others watched Ye Xing walk out, and fell silent. Chi Qiao, who usually played well with Ye Xing, looked at the others' faces, and his heart skipped a beat. He felt that Ye Xing's life would not be easy in the future.

This was Ye Xing's first time going upstairs. He followed the staff sister and whispered, "... Sister, do you know why you called me?"

The person in front turned around, "I don't know." After saying that, she turned around and whispered to Ye Xing, "But I think Jiang Zhi's face is not good."

Hearing this, Ye Xing began to cry in his heart.

Oh my God, it was so scary. He started to tremble when a group of people met the producer. What should he do now that he is alone!

After going upstairs, the staff sister in front knocked on the door, "Jiang Zhi, Ye Xing is here."

"Let him in." A familiar voice came from inside, and Ye Xing's hair stood on end immediately after hearing it.

After the door opened, there was no one at the desk. Ye Xing turned around and saw Jiang Juyou sitting in front of the low tea table. She pointed to the side with her chin and said, "Sit down."

"Hello, teacher!" Ye Xing bowed politely and greeted.

Jiang Juyou nodded and said again, "Sit down."

It seemed that all conversations started the same way. After Ye Xing sat down, Jiang Juyou opposite him asked him, "Do you know why I called you here?"

He nodded hesitantly, and Jiang Juyou opposite him smiled and raised one eyebrow, "Then tell me."

"...Because my strength is too poor." Ye Xing was afraid of the chief producer, so he didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

Jiang Juyu, who was sitting there, crossed her legs and sighed slightly, "Actually, your ability is not so bad that you are ranked last. You are the middle one among so many trainees."

"Have the rankings been announced?"

"Yes, it has been announced."

Jiang Juyu crossed her arms and leaned against the sofa, "My idea is to go according to the order, but other directors and teachers are trying hard to get you in. They think that appearance is also a kind of strength. I cannot deny this. Even the entertainment industry follows this. As long as you are good-looking, you don't have to worry about not having a job, let alone not having fans."

"The number of people who will debut has not been decided yet. You are ranked eleventh now. If I decide on a group of nine, you can get in if you work hard. What if I decide on a group of seven or five?"

"Who are the top five now?" Jiang Juyou thought for a moment and gave the names, "Yao Shuo, Pei Luming, Chi Qiao, Chen Wu, Wang Siyu."

She asked, "Vases are always scolded. Putting aside external conditions, who do you think you can squeeze out of these five people based on your strength?"

Ye Xing pursed his lips and said nothing. Jiang Juyou did not force him, but continued, "Do you think your opponents will only be these five people? There is also Gao Xiayu, who has the strongest ambition, ahead of him. He was ranked behind because his string was broken this time. If he did not make any mistakes, he would be in the top three."

"There is also Yang Yuzhen, who is younger than you. He learns very quickly and was born as a child actor in a drama. Like you, he knew nothing when he joined the company. He even had to take time out every week to rehearse dramas. Even so, he ranked tenth this time, ahead of you."

"I called you here not to tell you who is better than you, but to let you know that there are so many people who are better than you, but other teachers still tried their best to choose you."

Jiang Juyou's tone became serious at this time, her expression was serious, and her speech was slow. "I hope you can live up to the teachers' affirmation. I hope that when people mention you, they will not only label you as good-looking, but also that being good-looking is not a rare thing in the entertainment industry."

She paused and said, "...You all go back to the dormitory by yourself after class now, right? You don't live in the same dormitory with Gao Xiayu, nor do you have the same class with him. I guess you don't know that he hasn't been back to the dormitory much in the past month. He washes in the bathroom and sleeps in the vocal room, and he just covers himself with a coat at night."

"I really don't want to compare you, but the reality is very cruel. If you can't compare with him, you won't have a chance to debut."

Finally, Jiang Juyou said, "If you don't have talent, then you should work hard. If they practice four more hours, you should practice eight more hours."

Jiang Juyou softened his voice, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you teacher." Ye Xing nodded solemnly.

Jiang Juyou nodded, "Okay, go back."

"...Goodbye, teacher."

"Well, goodbye."

After leaving the office, Ye Xing leaned against the wall and took a long breath. He touched his back, which was full of sweat.

After returning to the practice room, other trainees had already started practicing. Ye Xing also found a corner and started practicing dancing with headphones on.

After a while, Chi Qiao and Yao Shuo from the next class came over and saw that Ye Xing had returned. The two of them stepped forward to hug him and asked, "Quick, quick, why did the producer ask you to go up?"

Ye Xing's expression was not very good, "...I got scolded." He said vaguely, not wanting to explain it too clearly.

After listening, Yao Shuo patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, we all got here this way."

Chi Qiao's expression was not very good either, "Alas...I ranked second last time, and the kids are too scary now."

This time, Pei Luming suddenly stood out. He didn't stand out much in the first public performance, but this time was different. He chose a difficult song, and not only that, he performed it very perfectly, and suddenly rose to second place, even only 0.5 points lower than Yao Shuo.

Gao Xiayu is equally fierce, but during the pre-inspection this time, his instrument broke at the last note, so his ranking was not high. But if you ignore the mistake, his performance this time is also very eye-catching.

Everyone is growing, and because of this cruel system, everyone is growing very fast. As long as you stagnate, you will fall behind.

One hour before the performance.

All the trainees have finished their makeup and are resting backstage. Ye Xing is alone in the vocal room, wearing headphones and practicing singing.

The backstage staff are all busy and have no time to take care of these kids.

Chen Wu glanced at Gao Xiayu, then at the other trainees who were watching his expression, and he quietly changed his seat and sat next to Gao Xiayu.

"...Do you hate Ye Xing?" he asked in a low voice.

But Yang Yuzhen, who was sitting opposite him, still heard it. He opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous, not understanding why he had to ask. In order to survive, Yang Yuzhen stood up and changed his seat, leaving this place far away.

After Gao Xiayu heard it, he turned his head to look at Chen Wu, wanting to explain something, but finally sighed, "...No, I also know that appearance is also a part of strength."

Chen Wu continued to ask, "Why do you target him? It makes the atmosphere in the practice room bad."

Yang Yuzhen, who only blamed his good hearing, moved again. To be honest, Chen Wu should be a war correspondent. He is too awesome.

Gao Xiayu fiddled with the headphones in his hand and looked away. "I targeted him, so no one dared to mess with him."

Chen Wu also followed his gaze and understood.

The stereotype is that women are jealous, but in fact men are more jealous, especially against good-looking people.

There are so many male trainees in the company, especially with the competition system, there must be a lot of private targeting and conflicts, but no one will put it on the surface.

Gao Xiayu did feel a little aggrieved at first, but the circle he was about to enter was not one that only valued strength, and it was useless for him to fight for those things. He might as well improve his strength quickly and make it so that the group could not do without him.

On the other hand, I don’t know who spoke the fastest, but after talking about what Gao Xiayu had just said about Ye Xing, Chi Qiao and Yao Shu got up and went to find Ye Xing.

Ye Xing was not in the waiting room, so he must be in the practice room. When the two opened the door of the vocal room, he was indeed inside, practicing singing with headphones on.

Seeing the two of them suddenly open the door with serious expressions, Ye Xing thought he had missed the opening time, and was so scared that he immediately checked the time, "I was scared to death."

"Are you okay?" Chi Qiao asked with a frown.

Ye Xing didn't understand, "...what do I want to say?"

"I just heard from your group that Gao Xiayu is targeting you." Yao Shuo answered.

Ye Xing thought for a moment, "No...I asked him to be strict with me."

The two standing: "..."

Ye Xing continued to explain: "...The elimination system is about to start, and I don't want to be eliminated. That would be too embarrassing."

He lowered his head and fiddled with his headphones, "So I asked Gao Xiayu to be ruthless to me and point out my problems sternly. Only by knowing where the problems are can I make progress."

After listening, the two sighed, "Really, I just wanted to practice casually at the beginning, but now it really concerns the issue of self-esteem. My self-esteem now does not allow me to fall out of the top three." The speaker was Chi Qiao.

Yao Shuo was speechless after hearing this. "Should I not allow myself to fall down?"

"No, if you don't fall down, how can I go up?"

"Get lost!"

Someone outside shouted, "Start 20 minutes ago..."

Ye Xing got up quickly. "Go, go, go, hurry up. If you're late, you'll be scolded again." He pushed the two people out.

The two were faster than him. They ran as soon as they got out of the door.

The audience outside was also entering. Jiang Juyou took a look at the backstage of the APP while sitting in the backstage. Nearly 400 positions were locked today. Although there was progress, it was far from what Jiang Juyou expected.

Today, there were more than 400 people attending the event on the first floor next door, not to mention those who were shopping upstairs. The coffee shop on the fifth floor was even briefly full. Today, the estimated flow of people in the building next door was close to 1,000, while there were less than 400 people here.

It was indeed difficult to be separated by a circle.

Jiang Juyou gave another order, "Don't be too strict today, but don't be too lax."

She had to activate Plan B.

This time, only the seats in the inner field were open, and the audience sat in scattered places after entering the venue, but unlike the last time, some people brought light signs in.

Li Yao was watching the entrance to the stage from the surveillance screen in the backstage. He immediately saw the eye-catching [Ye Xing] and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really an internal entertainment!"

The backstage also urgently inserted a message that it is forbidden to bring display light signs. The staff immediately reminded that it is not allowed to display light signs. If you don't want to put them away, you can only be asked to leave.

Because of this, there was a commotion outside for a while. Everyone didn't understand why light signs were not allowed.

The girl with the light sign was very arrogant. She shouted that other people can bring them, why can't they? After a long time of commotion, she was unwilling to put them away or leave. In the end, she was directly carried out by security.

The other audiences who watched this play silently touched the camera in their bags.

"..."

They didn't expect that they would really ask people to leave. In the entertainment industry, it's just talk. Some companies even encourage people to bring light signs. I didn't expect that here they really couldn't do it.

A few familiar fans looked at each other and stuffed the cameras in their arms again.

When it was about to start, just like last time, a group of people came out from the backstage and walked towards the stands. The only difference this time was that many people wore hats, and the one sitting in the middle even wore a mask.

Liu Yue sat with her roommate. She retracted her gaze and sighed again, "This is the first time in my life that I can slowly choose my seat for a concert an hour before the show starts."

"It's not a concert, it's a performance. It's said to be the end-of-the-month evaluation stage for trainees." The roommate explained to her.

Liu Yue was familiar with the term "month-end review". It was a term that came from abroad. After hearing this, Liu Yue's expectations were not so high. Since it was not a concert, the stage effect was estimated to be not so good.

Seeing that it had not started yet, she asked curiously, "Have you been here before?"

"No, this is my first time here. I saw other people recommend it online. I happened to have some free time, so I came to take a look. It's my first time to see this kind of thing. It's quite novel."

"Yeah, I'm quite novel too." Liu Yue said and looked at the small card she just took out of the locker again.

After staying abroad for two months, she didn't know that the small cards have evolved to this level. The more she looked at it, the more amazing it was. How did they do it?

Equally amazing are those who draw these cards from the small card capsule machine.

There is a row of gashapon machines on the second floor where albums are sold. After spending money to buy coins, you can draw a gashapon. If you are lucky, you can draw your favorite, and if you are unlucky, you will draw this group of trainees.

All the people who drew the trainees had the same reaction, "...What is this?"

Then they ran to find the staff and asked for an explanation. After that, the staff began to perform the 108th time of covering the small card, and then you can hear the 108th time of "Wow——".

Those who find it novel will keep the small card, and those who don’t like it will ask the staff to change the card. Of course, the staff will also change it.

But in the end, most people kept the small card, because they asked around who this was, and no one could answer it. In the end, they still got the answer in the card release super topic.

"So it’s an entertainment boy band?"

“Is their group called Random?”

“I think I saw it on TikTok before, so can anyone make this technology now?”

“This is a technology unique to their company.”

“Fuck, such a beautiful little card is not my fault!”

“Want to collect it, will you pay?”

“Can I queue up?”

“Sisters, this little card is still on sale, you can just go and buy it! Sisters in Beijing can just go to the site to pick it up, it’s free, but if you buy it individually, it’s 70 yuan a set, and this time there are 20 cards in a set.”

“Ahhhhh, why don’t you tell me where you bought it!”

“Sorry, sorry, it’s on Gailxi’s Little World, it’s an APP, hurry up, the quantity seems to be small, there were only 500 sets last time.”

“Fuck, sold out.”

"Then I'll take it. Bring your own price. Don't bother with a high price."

At the same time, the performance officially began. Among the audience, there were not many who came for the second time. There were only about fifty people. The rest were all first-timers. They didn't even know the people. Some of them knew about this performance when they participated in an event next door. They thought there was still plenty of time, so they came.

The performance process was the same as the first time. The trainees went on stage one by one to introduce themselves in order.

The first to come on was Yao Shuo. This time there was no VCR, but a close-up. A crown was even displayed on the top of the big screen, with the order marked next to it: 1.

Yao Shuo's fans in the audience immediately realized what this result was, and shouted excitedly, "Ahhhh Yao Shuo——"

After standing still, Yao Shuo also picked up the microphone and introduced himself: "Hello, teachers, I am Yao Shuo, and I have been practicing for three months."

Hearing this, Liu Yue raised an eyebrow, "What a new chick."

When the trainees came on stage later, the order would be displayed on the top of the big screen, and those who reacted slowly also knew what this meant. Ye Xing was the sixth to come on stage, and the order above his head was also ranked six. Ye Xing had the most fans in the audience, and all of them screamed loudly.

Liu Yue looked at it and complained, "No, now he has fans?" She looked at the big screen, and her momentum immediately weakened after seeing his face clearly, "He deserves it."

Star chasers may change their favorites and fans, but they will never change their orientation. No matter how many groups they change, they will always be fans of the lead singer. Just like Liu Yue, who is obsessed with looks, no matter how many favorites she changes, she will always follow the appearance of that group.

After seeing Ye Xing's face clearly, Liu Yue raised her hand to apologize, "Sorry, I spoke a little loudly just now."

The two roommates next to her rolled their eyes after hearing this.

She also noticed that the people sitting in front of her were fans of Ye Xing, because they had just shouted very loudly, so the club member Liu Yue stepped forward and patted them on the shoulder, "Hello, do they have an official website? This is my first time here, and I kind of like the best-looking one."

After hearing this, several people immediately took out their mobile phones, "Yes, yes, you are talking about Ye Xing, right? I'll find it for you!"

Unlike the last time, the first to start was the Solo stage, and Gao Xiayu stayed on the stage.

This order was decided by their own drawing, and Gao Xiayu drew the first performance. The staff at the back immediately brought up the microphone and electric guitar. Seeing the appearance of the electric guitar, there was a commotion in the audience.

"Hello, teacher. My name is Gao Xiayu. The song I'm going to perform is called "THE LONELIEST." He said and gestured to the side of the stage.

An ethereal voice sounded, Gao Xiayu stood in front of the microphone, humming, and his fingertips were casually strumming the electric guitar. His voice was low, with a sense of story that had gone through vicissitudes of life. Gao Xiayu also liked to have a trailing tone when singing, and this lazy singing style was more suitable for the atmosphere of this song.

The chorus of this song has high notes and requires wide lip movements. He also had to play the guitar during this time. The chorus alone amazed the audience. When it came to the guitar solo, the audience was already screaming. There were all kinds of "wow" mixed together. Many audience members who had been there once were trying to recall his first performance. Some even wondered why they hadn't noticed him before.

Liu Yue was the one who was really surprised. Maybe it was because of prejudice. She felt that there were not many talented players in the domestic entertainment industry, because the top singers she knew were just so-so in singing. The tunes were either unclear in their mouths or they couldn't sing loudly.

Because they watched it with prejudice, they had no expectations. It was this lack of expectations that gave Liu Yue goosebumps. The sound effects at the scene made her sit still and forget to close her mouth.

The two fans of the actors next to them were not much better. This was their first time watching a live performance. They had participated in several festivals before, but those who know know that nine out of ten are lip-syncing. They have never followed any singers, so naturally they have never been to a concert.

The opening solo stage was so jaw-dropping that they began to look forward to the stage behind.

At the last part, which was still a chorus, Gao Xiayu directly raised the key, and the veins on his neck stood up.

The audiences were paying full attention, and it was clear that his decision was correct. Some fans who were hiding even took their cameras to record his live video.

The order was drawn after the pre-check.

Gao Xiayu, who was drawn first, didn't react much, but the other six people felt their backs tighten. Everyone had seen his performance just now, and every teacher gave him high praise. His score even deducted the mistakes he made on stage, but he was still able to squeeze into the top seven. You can imagine how scary it was.

The reality is that Gao Xiayu not only did not make any mistakes during the official performance, but he even performed better. The guitar solo was very exciting.

Because of a month of hard practice, Gao Xiayu has also lost a lot of weight. He was wearing a white shirt, and the blower under the stage seemed to blow away his worries.

The lights were on him, and the screen showed a close-up of him. His slightly long hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, but this made him look more decadent, and it was more in line with the atmosphere of the song.

After he left the stage, there was a long applause from the audience, and even Liu Yue, who was obsessed with looks, was impressed.

Strength is really attractive

Yao Shu, who came up later, was very stressed. During practice, the teachers liked to compare him with Gao Xiayu. During practice and performance before, Gao Xiayu was indeed slightly inferior to him, but he had no lame items. Now that Gao Xiayu has grown rapidly, Yao Shu's first place may really be lost.

In previous performances, Yao Shuo always tended to show off his vocal ability. This time he chose a stage with some dancing. He was very confident at first, but after watching Gao Xiayu's stage, Yao Shuo felt nervous.

This time he was done.

In this kind of competition stage, everyone always likes to choose some songs with high notes to show their strength. The songs chosen by the people who came up later were more exciting than each other, but the effect was not satisfactory. Even Jiang Juyou was a little aesthetically tired of the high notes.

After watching the whole performance, only four people were more impressive. Gao Xiayu who opened the show, Yao Shuo who came up second, Ye Xing who was beautiful and normal, and Pei Luming who performed well in the beginning but sang the high notes poorly in the end.

Jiang Juyou on the stands was so angry that if she hadn't taken into consideration that their parents were sitting there, Jiang Juyou might have scolded them directly.

She originally wanted to use today's performance for marketing. She had even thought of the title, which was called Shattering the Entertainment. Now, she can only put the entertainment aside for now and shatter it next time.

After watching the performance, Jiang Juyu was so angry that her blood pressure rose and now she feels a little dizzy.

The people sitting around seemed to be in a good mood. Li Yao even praised them for their rapid improvement. Zhao Xu didn't understand why she was so angry and comforted her, "Be content. They have only practiced for three months. At the beginning, they all had hoarse voices, but now they can sing high notes for you, which is very good." "

Other trainees go to talent shows to get a feel for the possibility of survival competitions. You have survival competitions every day, and the rules are different every month."

"Really, I think it's already very good. Look at Ye Xing. When he first came, he didn't know anything. He would start to run around when the tune was a little higher. Now he can even sing the high notes steadily. If he were to be released outside, he would be known as a leading singer."

The three of them comforted Jiang Juyu one by one, and Jiang Juyu, who was sitting there, felt better.

Yes, they have grown up very fast, and she was asking too much.

Jiang Juyou stood up with the help of a chair and prepared to go to the backstage. When she was walking down the stairs, she suddenly met the eyes of several people who were coming up from a distance. The three people were also staring at her, but there was uncertainty in their eyes.

Jiang Juyou quickly turned her eyes away.

Why were her three roommates here? But it seemed reasonable for the three of them to be here.

Liu Yue looked back and turned to ask the other two, "Hiss... why do I feel that she looks so much like Kikyo?"

"The clothes are similar. Is this what Kikyo is wearing today?"

"The shoes are the same."

When the three of them turned back to confirm, the group had already entered the backstage. Liu Yue retracted her gaze and said, "Just send a message and ask later."

On the other hand, Jiang Juyu started to comfort her little heart after entering. Her mood had been ups and downs today. In a few more days, she would be able to go see her parents.

The staff came to inform, "Director Jiang, the trainees are already waiting in the practice room."

Jiang Juyou thought of this again and waved his hand, "The performance was a mess, what are you commenting on, let's go."

Liu Jiajia, who came with them, heard this and sighed, "Okay, you go back first, I'll go, you haven't had a good rest recently, go back quickly."

After she said this, Jiang Juyou felt even weaker and wanted to fall on the bed right now.

The trainees waiting in the practice room all stood straight, waiting for the chief producer to come. The door of the practice room was frosted, and people outside could be seen. When everyone saw someone approaching, they immediately tensed up.

The first person to come in was Liu Jiajia, the director of the new talent department. When she saw her, everyone immediately bowed and greeted her

. "Hello, teacher—" Only Liu Jiajia came in, and she didn't say hello to anyone else.

Liu Jiajia was holding an iPad, which was used by Jiang Juyou just now. On it were some brief comments she made when she watched the performance. "Jiang said that your performance was too bad and he didn't want to come."

How the trainees grow up is actually under Liu Jiajia's management. Saying that the trainees performed poorly is actually saying that their new talent department is lax in management.

She sat down on the sofa and put the iPad aside. Her cold face looked like a chief producer.

"I won't say much more. You know how you performed today. Tomorrow morning, it will be the same. You will criticize and point out each other's mistakes. The ranking of the performances will be announced before noon. This is the first time. When the rankings are announced later, those who are at the bottom three times in a row, or who have no improvement for three times in a row, will have to say goodbye to this place."

"Some people may think that they performed well today, because most people did not make any mistakes during the performance today, and they performed safely and completely. But you have to know that when everyone's performance is okay, yours is not excellent, but ordinary, without highlights, and you can't remember it after watching it."

"That's all for today. Go back and have a rest. Remember to be on time tomorrow morning."

Liu Jiajia never wastes time talking to them. She left right after she finished speaking. Before she left, she pointed to the iPad on the sofa and said, "There are brief reviews of Jiang Zhi's performance on it. You can read it by yourselves and put it in the office after you finish reading it."

"Goodbye, teacher." The group of little chickens bowed again.

They stared at the door, and when it closed, everyone rushed to the sofa.

The first one to get the iPad was Chen Wu. As soon as he opened it, he saw his resume interface, and he was immediately shocked -

the form was written in red pen:

"?"

"The song selection is average."

"The appearance is bulky... lose 6 to 7kg."

"The English pronunciation is average, and the listening experience is extremely poor."

"The core strength of the dance is poor."

In addition to the written words and the red lines drawn, their forms would even write down their recent cultural grades in school.

Chen Wu saw a long red line next to his score, with a question mark on it.

"..."

Not only Chen Wu was silent, but everyone else was silent too. They didn't know there would be so much information on the form.

Height and weight were the basics, but I didn't expect that the score on the cultural subjects would also be included in the review.

Wang Siyu patted his brother on the shoulder after reading it, "Bro, did you take 33 in physics seriously?"

Gao Xiayu couldn't help but say, "...33 is a bit too low, can you get into high school?"

Yang Yuzhen also came over to take a look, "Brother, your imbalance in subjects is too outrageous, full marks in mathematics, 33 in physics?"

Chen Wu, who was criticized, now wanted to find a hole to hide in. He didn't feel so embarrassed when the results were released, but he didn't know why he felt so ashamed now.

"No, it's because every physics class is in the first period in the afternoon. I was basically too sleepy to open my eyes at that time, so I didn't listen much." Chen Wu made a cunning excuse for himself.

There were brief comments from other people later, but everyone was eager to read them and didn't spend much time on Chen Wu.

As they watched, they discovered a pattern: the evaluations of trainees from other places were generally higher than those from Beijing, but there was a reason for that.

For example, Wu Zheyu, who lives in Tianjin, basically lives here after becoming a trainee, but if he goes to school, he will take the high-speed rail back, which takes more than an hour, and then take the high-speed rail again after school every afternoon. Those who live

further away are those who live in Chengdu. They only come here to practice on weekends, coming every Friday night and going back on Sunday.

But their high evaluations are not because Jiang Juyu gave them consideration points, but because they themselves are strong, otherwise they would not have stayed.

The comments of the chief producer are very short, but every sentence is to the point. For example, Gao Xiayu's stage performance seemed perfect to them, but Jiang Juyou still left a few comments.

"Jaw and face problems, teeth correction."

"Zero points for clothing choice."

"The second half of the performance was a bit forced, and the high notes sounded laborious."

"The deliberate lowering of the voice caused unclear pronunciation."

"The camera control was not good, and the camera could not be captured."

"The hair is too long, so ugly."

"..."

After watching together, everyone looked at Gao Xiayu in silence.

Chen Wu was the first one to break the silence. He scratched his head and said, "You are worthy of being the chief producer. I never thought of all this." After he finished speaking, he looked at Gao Xiayu and said seriously, "Brother, you really should cut your hair!"

Yang Yuzhen, who was standing next to him, closed his eyes. It was really speechless. Why did he stand next to Chen Wu again?

Gao Xiayu, who was stared at, took a breath, then relaxed her expression and said, "Take a picture of your own problems. After that, I will return the iPad, and then everyone can go back to rest."

"Wait, I'll get my phone!"

"Chi Qiao, take a picture for me and send it to me later!"

"OK!"

Living on the ground floor, relying on the two lights at the head and foot of the bed for light, Jiang Tang couldn't tell the difference between day and night after a long time. She just woke up, turned over with the quilt in her arms, and looked at her phone. It was already past six in the afternoon.

"...I'm so hungry." She rubbed her eyes and turned on the bedside lamp.

At this time, Jiang Liuxing happened to call, "...Sister, do you want to eat crayfish?"

"Yes."

"OK, then I'll buy one! I'm at the gate of the community and will be back soon!"

Jiang Tang looked at the time again, and then said to the other end of the phone: "Your second sister should be off work, ask her if she can come over?"

"I just asked, they have a performance today, they are very busy, so they can't come. I was going to go too, but it was 4:30 when I got off the plane, so I couldn't make it in time." Jiang Liuxing asked and then remembered, "Did you go?"

Jiang Tang, who was lying on the bed, yawned and rubbed his eyes, "No, I didn't go to bed until ten in the morning and just woke up now... I wanted to hold on and go back to sleep after the show, but I couldn't hold on in the end."

"Okay, then you get up and wash up, I'll go back after I'm done here!"

"OK, bye."

Jiang Liuxing hung up the phone and looked at the door of the barbecue restaurant again. She was near the community and happened to pass by here, so she wanted to buy some crayfish to eat.

While waiting, Jiang Liuxing looked at her WeChat. She hadn't checked it for more than ten minutes, and it was full again.

Their work group was chatting about what was hot today. It seemed that they hadn't gotten off work yet. Jiang Liuxing immediately waved to them again, "Boss, give me six more crayfish, and then three more fried cakes... You can grab a handful of barbecue for me. There are more than ten girls eating. I will send you the skewers tomorrow. Do you need a deposit?"

The boss standing at the door said directly: "No deposit, just remember to send it to me!"

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Jiang Liuxing looked back at the work group.

"There was a random dance event today, it was so lively ahhhhh I want to go too!"

"My friend went today and said the atmosphere was great! I'm so jealous!"

"Do you have a video? Let me post one."

"Don't even think about it! I'm the one who should post a video. I'm still a few videos away from releasing today!"

"...Can you guys open TikTok and take a look? A marketing account has already posted it, and it's gone viral. If it gets 110,000 likes, it should have tens of millions of views." "

Tsk, to be honest, I don't know what happened to me these past few days. I can't even keep up with the heat even if I eat shit."

"You're disgusting!"

"I didn't expect you to have this habit."

"Get lost, it's just a metaphor! The topics I wanted to post recently have all been posted by others, or they copied mine, but the data is better than mine."

"Then copy it back. Your friend should have a video with a new perspective."

"Oh, yes!"

"So can you come back from the toilet now? You've been squatting there for half an hour!"

"King of Shit."

After watching it, Jiang Liuxing thought about going to Tik Tok to see what the hot topics are at the moment, and then he saw that the group, which had originally calmed down, became lively again.

"Galexi, Gailexi, Gailexi! I have been surrounded by these words the whole day today. It feels like all the star chasers in Beijing have gone to Gailexi. It's there on Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and WeChat!" "Galexi

? What kind of event is held by a yogurt seller?" "

Tsk, that's Amul!"

"Isn't that the sister community of Aranya?"

"I am speechless. Even if you are the main promoter of dramas, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"What's the matter? So what is it?"

"It's a bit complicated. There is a company that has its own concert venue and shopping mall, called Gailexi, and their company's trainees perform for free at Gailexi every month. There was one today, and the shopping mall also happened to have an event today, so they clashed."

"Today??? I thought it was tomorrow! Ahhhhhhh! My beautiful little Ka!"

"It's sold out, forget it, but someone in the Gailexi app has issued a card, you can wait for it."

"I still don't quite understand."

"If you don't understand, then don't understand, you rusty-headed guy!"

"..."

"I'm back after posting the video~"

"It feels like it's going to explode. It got 700 likes in one minute."

"Then I'll make a video of their performance today. My circle of friends will be full of videos."

Jiang Liuxing frowned when she saw this sentence. She vaguely remembered that the management there was quite strict, so she switched to the group where the fan sister was, and found that everyone was still talking about today's performance. There were

more than 40 people in this group. Today, except for those like Jiang Liuxing who couldn't make it in time, everyone went.

The group was flooded with various videos and photos, all of which were secretly taken while they were watching. Since they were secretly taken, the angles and clarity would not be very good.

"Look at this photo, it makes me laugh to death. When I was about to press the shutter, the staff came over. I was so scared that I immediately covered the camera with my clothes."

"I was afraid of bag checking when I went in, so I wore a long skirt today and tied the camera to my leg when I came in. In the end, they didn't check my bag .

" "Several of us were hiding secretly in the stand at the time. In the distance were the senior executives of their company. I was really scared, afraid that they would turn around.

" "There were not many staff members patrolling today. If there were more, then no one would have escaped today."

"I didn't see the staff member who checked very strictly last time. Last time, I raised my phone eight times and was discovered eight times. This time it's better, I opened it in half."

"Is that sister Yao Shu in our group? I'm really curious. What did she use to take the picture? I didn't dare to take out my camera today. Those two staff members kept circling in front of me."

"It was taken by a cellphone."

"Oh my god, I knew it was you! Piggy!"

"It was Piggy Pork. I know what kind of phone it is. I'll go place the order now."

Everyone got off work and the venue became quiet. Jiang Juyu couldn't hear the rumbling sound when she lay in bed, but once she calmed down and couldn't fall asleep, she was prone to wild thoughts.

Today's performance didn't go as she expected. The attendance was not ideal, and she didn't have much money left. Jiang Juyu was extremely anxious.

The real entertainment industry consists of those people on the hot searches for entertainment, those in the popular TV series, and those in variety shows. The rest are at most high-paid freelancers.

Since the end of June this year, she has been bravely entering the entertainment industry. She has been in it for three months and is still in the poisonous circle. Not to mention entering the central safe zone, she has not even entered the circle now.

The things that happen in the entertainment industry every day do not include them at all.

"The more I think about it, the sadder I am... How did those people become so popular?" Jiang Juyou now reflects that she really chose the wrong track. If she had known earlier, she would have chosen to be an actor.

She is now as aggrieved as if she had stuffed ten sweet potatoes in one breath. Or is it that her rules are really wrong, and she should encourage filming and then use it for marketing?

Even if she wants to be a ruthless capitalist, she needs someone to let her grab it. Now there is no one, nothing can operate, and she is restricted in doing anything.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Jiang Juyou became. She was so angry that she threw a series of punches on the bed and kicked the summer quilt to the ground. After she finished her rage, she reached for her phone again, intending to watch some cats and dogs to calm down. As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw all kinds of drama promotions and marketing.

"..."

Jiang Juyou gritted her teeth and said, "When I have money, I will market so much that you will call me a marketing guy!" She

only hated that the company had no money.

A pop-up window appeared above the mobile phone screen. It was a message from Jiang Liuxing.

"Liuxing is Ziweixing: Who signed the publicity outsourcing for your company?"

"Uh..." Jiang Juyou thought about it and it seemed that no one signed it.

So far, there is nothing that needs marketing. Even if there is, it is done by the marketing department itself. I haven't seen them cooperate with any marketing accounts. If they did, there wouldn't be so few people coming to today's event.

Jiang Juyou answered truthfully: “It seems that I haven’t signed it…”

The other side immediately sent a message: “Why don’t you sign with us, and we can cooperate with you in the promotion of your performances in the future.”

There are such good talents around, but Jiang Juyou doesn’t need to say it because she doesn’t want to?

"Jiyou Grocery Store: Our company doesn't have much money now and has been in a loss-making state."

"Meteor is Ziweixing: We have already lost money, so this little bit doesn't matter."

"Jiyou Grocery Store: We can't come up with the money... All we have left now is the employees' salaries."

"Meteor is Ziweixing: [Run.jpg] If you don't run now, you won't be able to pay the salaries in a while." "

Jiyou Grocery Store: ... You can't run away."

"Meteor is Ziweixing:?" "

Jiyou Grocery Store: In short, you can't run away, but if you can change the settlement time to once every six months, we can, and there will be money in the account in a few months."

"Meteor is Ziweixing: Half a year is too long, there is no guarantee, what if your company goes bankrupt and we can't get paid?"

In Jiang Liuxing's view, even if her sister is the chief producer, she is still working there, and she doesn't know why she is so sincere. Now the company is not doing well, she still wants to stay there.

Could she be the legendary office worker brain?

"Jieyou Grocery Store: Then settle every three months, how about it?"

"Meteor is Ziweixing: ... Then for your sake, settle every three months, but if your company really can't hold on, you must tell me, I have to get the money back!"

"Jieyou Grocery Store: Thanks, sis!"

Jiang Jieyu was about to recommend the marketing staff's WeChat to her, and she saw that Jiang Liuxing sent her a link.

"..."

After she pasted the link to TikTok, she immediately saw the video.

"Why didn't you Baijing people invite me to your activities!!! Could it be that all the fans of Baijing are gathering at Gailexi today——" "

There's a random dance event on the first floor! The second floor is selling special lottery cards, the third floor is a flash mob event organized by Bai Zehui's family, and the fourth floor is an exhibition organized by top fan Li Jie. How come such an interesting event didn't invite me!"

Jiang Juyu didn't go there today, so she didn't know the specific situation there. It was her first time to see a panoramic view. The number of people on the scene was much larger than in the video that Li Yao showed her. Even looking from the bottom up, the railings were full of people.

The perspective of this video is really shocking.

“Oh my god…”

Jiang Juyu opened the comment section.

“It’s okay, they didn’t call me [smile]”

“Ahhh what is this! Why didn’t they call me?”

“I’m going to be drowned by the Beijingers in the comment section.”

“Where is this? Where is this? Where is this? Tell me quickly, this is very important to me [smile]”

“The future wasteland-style coffee shop that’s been very popular on Xiaohongshu these past two days is right here, on the fifth floor, and it’s always full every time I go there [smile]”

“There’s also a free
