Reborn to choose a career, I choose to be the most popular female star

In the live broadcast of the variety show "Our Return to Garden Life", the scene of Jiang Linyu and Bian Lei riding a motorcycle together was broadcast.

Although the car made a rumbling sound, it was obvious that Jiang Linyu hugged Bian Lei's waist after he said something.

The motorcycle was driving on a country road, passing through endless rice fields. The wind blew up the clothes of the two people, and the program team added some romantic songs. The whole picture had an indescribable beauty.

Fans who originally liked the "brother-sister" CP became even more excited.

“Ahhhh, is it a hug around the waist?? I’m dead.”

"This scene is so well shot, why do I suddenly feel like I'm watching an idol drama"

"The blood tank is empty! The brother and sister CP is locked"

“A wandering folk singer vs. a national girl, who understands the destructive power of this picture? I feel like I want to take you around the world.”

……

Because Jiang Linyu plays the young female lead in "The House of the Golden Flower" who is pure and elegant, with eyes as bright as stars, giving people a full sense of girlishness.

After her stills were circulated on Huxiu.com, where 99% of the viewers are men, she quickly became popular. Some people began to call her the "national girl", and she gained recognition from more and more people.

Why is Jiang Linyu called "National Girl" by male fans? Some netizens analyzed it this way:

She has discarded the sense of distance and aloofness of the "national goddess" and has a similar intimacy to the "national daughter", but also has the fantasy of a girl who can be ignorant and moved...

At the same time, the live broadcast of "Our Return to Garden Life" was being played on the big screen in the Junhe Media conference room, with "pink" barrages flashing across the screen.

Lu Zheng stared at the screen with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Assistant Gao, who was sitting next to him, swallowed silently and felt a chill all over his body.

Manager Zhao, the head of the artist department, pressed the pause button, and the picture stopped at the moment Jiang Linyu hugged Bian Lei's waist.

"According to our data tracking, the overall feedback from Bian Lei on this show was good, and his interaction with this female guest received the highest attention."

"Recently, we have also re-released his earlier songs on various platforms, but the feedback has been average. We analyzed that this is mainly because the songs he created lack popular emotional resonance among the general public."

In simple terms, Bian Lei has no love experience and does not have any love-related songs.

Bian Lei's earlier songs mainly focused on the experience of wandering life, but it is difficult for the general public to resonate with such songs.

Manager Zhao paused for a moment and continued, "However, he sent us a new song this morning. We think it might be a hit, so we'd like to invite everyone to listen to it."

Manager Zhao took out her mobile phone and clicked on the demo that Bian Lei sent her.

"The song is called "I Fell in Love with a 19-Year-Old Girl"

As soon as the prelude of the guitar piece sounds, you can hear the joy of the composer.

Accompanied by Bian Lei's low and distinctive voice, the song is sung slowly, immediately bringing the audience into the song.

Most of the attendees had never heard of Bian Lei's songs, but after listening to the first half of the song, they understood why the Artist Department chose Bian Lei among so many folk singers.

This song, as the title suggests, describes a story about a man falling in love with a girl.

From the lyrics, we can basically infer that this girl is 19 years old, with eyes as bright as stars, and men are moved at first sight of her.

Bian Lei's voice is low and restrained, but his emotions are passionate and bright. This strong contrast has a strong sense of story and is a style that is rarely seen in the music market.

When almost all the participants were immersed in the meeting, only Assistant Gao was wiping his sweat with a tissue.

Because from the lyrics such as "getting caught in the rain", "eyes shining like stars", and "smile with faint dimples", he felt that the girl described in the lyrics was Jiang Linyu, Mr. Lu's ex-girlfriend.

Assistant Gao felt that these three minutes were particularly long. He did not dare to look at the expression of Lu Zheng beside him.

Although the two have broken up, no normal person would like to hear love songs sung to an ex-girlfriend.

What's more, this person is the artist that his company wants to promote.

The song finally ended, and Manager Zhao said, "We think there is a big market for this. What do you think?"

"Because I'm not sure about the lyrics, I want to ask. Is the girl in his song the one who recorded the variety show with him?" Someone obviously noticed this detail

Manager Zhao nodded: "I think so. It just so happens that the feedback from the two of them getting along well is also good, so I think..."

"If he needs to hype up a CP to become popular, then it's better not to sign him."

Lu Zheng's cold voice suddenly interrupted her and looked at Manager Zhao.

"At the same time, I also have to doubt Manager Zhao's ability to manage artists."

Manager Zhao is a veteran of Junhe Media. She has been in charge of the artist department since the company was founded. Her professional ability is unquestionable. This is the first time that Lu Zheng has said such serious words to her.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, there may be some problems with my expression just now. Bian Lei is certainly very capable, and we are also focusing on promoting him in the direction of talented singers, but we think his works should be more down-to-earth, and this song is indeed one of his songs that resonates with the public’s emotions.”

"If you want to gain emotional resonance and create scandals by using such explicit and vulgar words, then you don't have to do that."

Everyone could hear the anger in Lu Zheng's tone.

It seems that although the lyrics are a bit straightforward, they are not vulgar or explicit, right?

Among all the people present, only Assistant Gao understood what was going on and immediately came out to smooth things over.

"Manager Zhao, I think Mr. Lu's point is that the music can remain the same, but the lyrics can be more tactful. If the first song to go viral is related to a certain actress's scandal, it will be easy to be labeled, which will limit Bian Lei's long-term development."

Upon hearing that Assistant Gao was offering to help him, Manager Zhao, although impatient, had a high IQ and EQ, and he reacted quickly and replied immediately.

"It's something that Special Assistant Lu Zhenggao is considering. Let's discuss the lyrics with Bian Lei."

Suddenly, Lu Zhengteng stood up and walked out while leaving a message: "Come to my office"

Manager Zhao has followed Assistant Gao for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen Lu Zhengsheng be so generous. He looked at Assistant Gao with some confusion.

Assistant Gao waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was talking about her, and she hurriedly followed.

Lu Zheng walked very fast, and the two men couldn't catch up with him even if they quickened their pace.

Manager Zhao was puzzled and had no idea what he would face next, so he had to ask for help from Assistant Gao next to him.

"Assistant Gao, what's going on? Why did Mr. Lu become so different after listening to the song?"

Assistant Gao looked around and whispered in her ear: "That Jiang Linyu is Mr. Lu's ex-girlfriend."

"what?!"

Even Manager Zhao, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, looked as if he had heard something extraordinary at this moment. His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Really? I thought Mr. Lu..."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence.

As far as she knew, many beautiful women had a crush on Mr. Lu, but he had never looked at any of them. She thought Mr. Lu was sexually apathetic!

"Shh, keep it a secret," Assistant Gao whispered.

Manager Zhao nodded repeatedly. Now that he knew why Mr. Lu was angry, at least he had some idea in his mind.

"I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I'll treat you to a meal some other day, Assistant Gao."

"Don't be polite, just stop talking back, and do what he says later."

"Uh-huh"

Arriving at Lu Zheng's office, Manager Zhao took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

"Lu Zong"

Lu Zheng sat in the office chair, loosened his tie, and looked at her with a gloomy face.

"How are you going to change this song?"

"What Mr. Lu and Assistant Gao just said is indeed something we have not considered. I will ask Bian Lei's agent to talk to him and delete all the lyrics in the song that clearly point to girls."

In fact, she could just delete the love part, but she didn't want to do that.

This song is all about love, and if it is deleted, the song will be basically ruined.

Fortunately, Lu Zheng is a boss who recognizes talent and knows what is important. After saying "hmm", his expression eased a little.

"What's the song title?"

"Of course the song title has to be changed. Once it's changed, I'll send it to you first, and then I'll release it."

Seeing Lu Zheng nod, meaning that this was the way to go, Manager Zhao instantly felt relieved.

Then, Lu Zheng said: "I have read the contract and need to change it."

Realizing that he was talking about the contract with Bian Lei, Manager Zhao asked, "What part did you change?"

"Change the rule from not announcing your marriage to..."

Lu Zheng paused, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Change to a one-year marriage ban"

Manager Zhao was slightly stunned. Although many companies would make such a request to their artists, she was worried that Bian Lei would not agree given his personality.

But since Lu Zheng mentioned it directly, she would definitely give it a try.

"Let's go talk to him."

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Lu Zheng asked Manager Zhao again.

"Bian Lei didn't want to sign with the company before, why did he agree to sign with the company after we approached him?"

Manager Zhao thought for a moment and said, "According to Bian Lei, it seems that his father is sick and he is in urgent need of money."

"Is his family poor?"

"They are an ordinary rural family. Now he has sold all the land and property in his hometown that can be sold."

After hearing this, Lu Zheng was silent for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly took out a business card from the drawer and handed it to her.

Manager Zhao took it suspiciously: "What is this?"

"I'm a well-known American oncologist. Tell me your name and send his father to receive treatment. The company will pay for it."

She was slightly stunned: "Mr. Lu, are you referring to all the subsequent chemotherapy expenses for Bian Lei's father?"

"Well, just consider it as compensation for the temporary change of the contract."

Manager Zhao looked at Lu Zheng with admiration, thinking that he was worthy of being the boss he had followed for several years, and that he could do this for an ordinary artist.

"Okay, I'll contact him after his variety show live broadcast is over."

Lu Zheng nodded, "It's okay, you can go out."

"Okay, I'll thank Mr. Lu on behalf of Bian Lei."
