Ordinary Road 2010

"improve rapidly."

"Okay, just treat her as real, but Lin Yi, do you think I can be a good idol?"

"I think this order of consideration is inappropriate. You should first ask yourself whether you want to be an idol, and then ask if you can."

"Whether I want to... I can't say."

"Think of a girl group idol you know."

"Girls' Generation?" She remembered what Peng Yuchen mentioned just now.

"Do you want to be them?"

"But I don't know what their profession is like at all. I just dance their dance."

"Then find out."

Gu Caiwei felt inspired this time, she pondered for a while and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Lin Yi, do you really hope that I am a big star?"

"???"

Lin Yi expressed doubts, not knowing where she thought of, why she blushed.

Chapter 124 What Is an Idol

"What, you and Lin Yi met a scout at the Golden Arch?" Zhang Jiaqi asked in surprise.

It was already after the National Day holiday, and since that guy Lin Yi somehow said something to let her decide for herself, classmate Gu Caiwei came to ask her best friend for advice.

She corrected her very seriously: "Didn't I tell you, that Peng Yuchen is not an ordinary scout, she claims to be the boss of an entertainment company called Iron Eater in Shanghai."

"That's a senior scout."

Zhang Jiaqi has her own logic, she seems very interested: "Then did you agree to her later?"

Gu Caiwei was very surprised by her attitude: "Jiaqi, didn't you hate the scouts who blocked the way before? You would scold them loudly every time."

Zhang Jiaqi plausibly said: "That's because the scouts I met before were all weird uncles, and some of them even looked at you wretchedly, so you don't look like a good person. But didn't you meet a female boss this time?" ?”

Peng Yuchen has an ordinary appearance and has never felt any preferential treatment. If she knew that Zhang Jiaqi had given him more trust just because she was also a woman, she would regret that she was not by her side when they met.

Gu Caiwei didn't expect her to be this reason: "Uh, that's... so actually, do you think I can be a star?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Jiaqi slapped the table excitedly: "Actually, I wanted to say before that you look much better than that so-and-so on TV!"

"You should become a big star and save the aesthetics of the national audience!"

She was embarrassed for a while: "It's just that Aunt Gu has always arranged for you before? Besides, you don't seem to have this intention, so I didn't mention it."

"So it is."

Gu Caiwei nodded, and explained: "She didn't ask me to act, her company is a girl group, and she wants me to be a trainee."

Speaking of acting, it seems that I forgot to ask Lin Yi a question.

"Isn't the girl group easier?"

"In terms of singing, you are the main force of the school choir. In terms of dancing, you have won the first prize in the aerobics competition. You also danced in the girl group dance."

Zhang Jiaqi looked more confident than herself.

"The key, Caiwei."

She leaned over and lightly stroked her best friend's delicate face: "With this, you are enough to make those boys crazy about you."

Gu Caiwei knocked off her mischievous hands, but she didn't pretend to be modest: "But my mother said, I'm not very good at those things."

Zhang Jiaqi was a little embarrassed, she didn't dare to object to Ms. Gu Changge, so she could only say: "Aunt Gu is too strict with you."

She thought again: "By the way, what did Lin Yi say, didn't he meet that guy named...Peng with you?"

Gu Caiwei didn't hide it: "I think Lin Yi is so strange this time, I always feel that he knew that we would meet that person."

"And he later told me very seriously that he wanted me to make my own decision this time without considering him or my mother, and said that this was my fate."

Zhang Jiaqi didn't pay attention to the first half of her sentence, and rolled her eyes in surprise after hearing the second half: "Did he not stop you?"

"Why stop it?"

"Think about it, if you really became an idol, debuted, and became a big star. Can you still be the girlfriend of an ordinary middle school student or college student? Normal boys will Have such concerns."

Gu Caiwei added another point: "When you talk about this, I actually asked Peng Yuchen in front of Lin Yi if idols can't fall in love, and she said no."

"I rejected her at first, but Lin left her phone number and told me to keep it."

This time Zhang Jiaqi was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide: "If I were a boy, I would have saved the Milky Way in my previous life by chasing you. I must wish to handcuff us all the time so that you will never leave my sight Bar."

"Is he already planning to sacrifice himself to fulfill you?"

"Caiwei, I didn't know what you liked about Lin Yi before, but now it seems that at least he is not a man with a small belly."

Of course, Lin Yi wasn't doing it for some shit, Zhang Jiaqi's concerns were justified.

His confidence lies in the fact that he knows he is not "an ordinary middle school student, or college student."

But Gu Caiwei didn't know, some confusion appeared in front of her eyes: "Does he think so..."

Zhang Jiaqi couldn't help interrupting: "Wait a minute, you don't want to give up this opportunity for him again, do you?"

"Aren't you guys watching too many brain-dead dramas? Can you stop acting so devotion in the painful drama of silently sacrificing for each other? Is there anything you can't talk about?"

She rolled her eyes, with an expression of "I can't stand you couple".

This pulled Gu Caiwei out of the emotion just now: "No, you talk nonsense... By the way, Lin Yi let me know what the idol profession is like, do you know, Jiaqi?"

Zhang Jiaqi spread her hands: "Although I used to be a fairy queen, it was a boy group. Besides, I don't know what they do every day. I'm not as idle as some fans, who spend all day checking Oppa's schedule. Don't they all have to go to school?"

Oppa, which means "brother" in Korean, is dedicated to younger women for older men.

For people outside the fan circle, the context of this word will be mentioned, and most of the time it is to satirize the fanaticism of Han fans.

Gu Caiwei nodded her smooth chin, looking distressed: "Then who would know?"

"Who would know, there seems to be no girl group fans in the grade."

The rice circle is a place where yin prospers and yang declines. I don't know if male fans can account for one-tenth of it.So an amazing thing is that the active fans of girl groups are usually mainly girls.

Men are all prostitutes, just look at their thighs.

star chasing?no money.

No wonder the market concludes that the consumption potential of men is not as good as that of dogs.

And star chasing also has a chain of contempt, which can be roughly summed up as those who like Europe and the United States look down on those who like Japan and South Korea, those who like Japan and South Korea look down on those who like Hong Kong and Taiwan, and those who like Hong Kong and Taiwan look down on those who like the mainland.

The chain of contempt, while boring, is everywhere.

In Linzhong, if you say you like a certain girl group, you may be laughed at.

Zhang Jiaqi had a flash of inspiration: "Hey, I thought of one. You should ask that Peng Yuchen, she is the female boss of an entertainment company!"

Gu Caiwei was stunned for a moment: "Is this okay? I haven't decided whether to promise her or not."

"What's the matter, isn't she wanting to sign you?"

Chapter 125 The Man Who Sells Happiness

Zhang Jiaqi was right, Peng Yuchen really wanted to sign Gu Caiwei.

So she came directly.

It was a weekend afternoon, and this point was not chosen to accommodate Boss Peng's time, but to accommodate Gu Caiwei's time, since she usually has to go to class.

The place was chosen by Zhang Jiaqi. It is a dessert shop in a popular business district, with a large crowd of people.

She strongly requested to accompany Gu Caiwei, under the guise of protecting her safety, but in fact it was to satisfy her own curiosity.

The reason why it was Zhang Jiaqi's turn to protect the safety was because Gu Caiwei did not call Lin Yi, she promised Lin Yi to make this decision by herself.

Peng Yuchen is not as casual as he was during the holidays today, but is wearing a capable professional suit, with seven centimeter high heels tapping.

Her hairstyle was combed meticulously, and she was carrying the latest big-name handbag, which looked like a strong woman in the workplace.

Gu Caiwei didn't have any special feelings. My mother sometimes went to some occasions with the same style. In terms of appearance, the one in front of me was far worse.

Zhang Jiaqi is very satisfied, this is what she envisioned in her mind, what she will look like when she works ten years later.

"Student Gu, as I said, we will definitely meet again."

Peng Yuchen's first sentence after sitting down was naturally connected with the last time.

She is indeed somewhat complacent.

It has been two weeks since the last encounter. She was considering whether to check people through her QQ account, when she received a call from Gu Caiwei.

Smoother than expected, the fish was hooked.

Gu Caiwei hesitated for a moment, but decided to address her according to her formal position: "Mr. Peng, I'm sorry I haven't decided whether to agree or not, but I still have some questions I want to ask you. In fact, you don't need to go to the trip."

Peng Yuchen didn't mind. Of course, she asked to come here not because she was too busy with work, but because she wanted to win this very important girl in one fell swoop.

Very good, that boy is not here today.

She glanced at Zhang Jiaqi who was sitting beside her like a court lady: "May I ask who this is?"

"My name is Zhang Jiaqi, and I am Caiwei's best friend." She answered by herself.

Peng Yuchen greeted with a smile, as if he was very kind, but he didn't waste time on her, and turned his head naturally: "Is Xiao Gu's name Caiwei? It's so beautiful, just like me."

"Only a paradise on earth like Lin'an can raise a girl like you."

Zhang Jiaqi was very surprised, it turned out that she didn't even leave her name last time, but this time she ran over from Shencheng again.

Gu Caiwei also felt sorry, and took the initiative to explain: "We were rude last time. In fact, I am not a native of Lin'an. I was born in Yuezhou and grew up in Lin'an."

Peng Yuchen's heart is clear, she is willing to disclose some personal information, which shows that the trust between the two has begun to be established: "I have also been to Yuezhou. It is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is a famous cultural city and a town of beauties. No wonder, no wonder."

Gu Caiwei didn't go deep into this topic, her understanding of Yuezhou was actually limited, and they didn't come here to chat today: "Mr. Peng, I actually have some questions that I didn't think of last time."

"I'd be happy to answer that for you."

"I thought about a lot of minutiae, but I summed it up, and in the end it was just a question. What is an idol, and why do you want to be an idol?"

Peng Yuchen smiled, and the net can be closed.

"This question is indeed a big question, but I think I may be the most qualified person in China to answer this question, at least one of them."

"Idol, in terms of form, is a brand-new artist that is different from traditional singers and actors."

"From the existing works, they are closer to singers. Last time I also said that the basic skills of idols are singing and dancing."

"But they are very different from singers in the traditional sense, including singers and dancers."

"The difference I'm talking about is not that idols also act or appear on variety shows, and traditional singers often cross over."

"The biggest difference is that traditional artists communicate with consumers in the form of works, which is closer to a kind of handicraftsman, and those who are more powerful are considered artists."

"The idol itself is a commodity."

Peng Yuchen paused here, she was waiting for Gu Caiwei's feedback.The latter listened very seriously, and followed her train of thought and asked, "How can people become commodities?"

"We're certainly not talking about human trafficking."

"What I mean is that idols don't regard their works as the only window to communicate with consumers—that is, fans."

"To put it to the extreme, there may even be no works at all."

"You may ask, what do they show fans if there is no work?"

"Take them yourself."

"When I was working in RB, I came into contact with handshake coupons for the first time. Do you know what handshake coupons are?"

"I was very surprised at the time. Is this really okay? Is it considered an artist who can hold hands casually? It may not be too down-to-earth."

"That's right, an idol is an artist descending to earth."

Zhang Jiaqi interjected from the side: "According to what you said, there is no need for idols to practice singing and dancing. Isn't it a model if they only have a face?"

Peng Yuchen didn't mind her interruption, but was very happy to have the interaction, which showed that the two audiences were accepting and thinking about the information he gave.

"It is indeed easier to transform from a model to an idol than to transform into other artists."
