Korean Entertainment's Survival War

After the night of the finals, the trainees went back to their respective homes. The debut group reunited after a short break and went to the dormitory provided by the debut group's brokerage company Swing, where they began to eat and live together to prepare for their debut.These are the original plans and will not be changed by external changes.Although the results of the final night began to ferment on the second day, thick clouds quickly piled up over X1's head.

It is not the first time that the final result of the Produce series has been controversial. In the second season, the loss of NUEST captain Kim Jong-hyun became a big news with tens of thousands of praises. In the third season, Li Jiaen’s loss and onepick were clearly more dominant The Japanese trainees from the 48 series of the show fell down one after another on the night of the finals, which made it difficult for those who followed the show to understand. The two seasons of the program group have passed through safely. It is said that Xu Minghe does not need to worry too much about the controversy in the fourth season. of.But he still couldn't settle down in his heart. It wasn't because only Kim Jong-hyun was defeated in the second season. The huge fan base of other trainees would maintain the debut group, and most of Kim Jong-hyun's own fans could have a premonition that this was the case. NUEST’s brokerage company pledis made a deal with the program group. They had many concerns and dared not turn their faces directly. The third season’s ratings were not high, and the voters were Koreans. It was difficult to get support for Japanese trainees who are not familiar to the public. The fans of the IZONE group mainly come from the group formation activities, and they will not have any opinions on the group formation process. In the fourth season, Lee Jin Hyuk, Kim Min Kyu, Gu Zhengmo and other popular trainees were eliminated in one breath. Compared with the fans of the debut group Although the non-debut group has advantages, it doesn't have an absolute suppressive effect - that's not what he's worried about.What Xu Minghe can't let go of is the "29978" mentioned in the fan complaints of the undebuted trainees.

He knew that there were behind-the-scenes transactions in the results of the produce series, but Xu Minghe thought that certain adjustments and exchanges were made based on the results of the negotiations.But if there is a coincidence that the difference between the number of votes for the final night of every two trainees is a multiple of 29978, which should never happen, is the final ranking and number of votes predetermined by the program group?

The most important thing is: Even an art student like Xu Minghe knows the "random number", and given such a group of program crews with buried traps, are they employees of Mnet, or are they competing for the cake being robbed by the Produce series? What about the undercover agent prepared by the opponent to bring a fatal blow to this star-making system?

Reason tells Xu Minghe that even if the Produce series, which has stirred up huge waves in the music industry in the past two years, really violated the interests of too many people, and thus made the competitors come up with this trick, trying to use the behind-the-scenes transactions of the Produce series to sell the show , the participating brokerage company and the CJ Group behind it were pushed into the abyss together, and the game related to it was not something he could participate in as a personal trainee. What CJ can't solve, he certainly can't do anything about.

"System, how much life do I have left?"

"77 years, more than the average life expectancy of 83 years suggested..."

"Change the body, I know", Xu Minghe said in his heart, "My life span is enough, long ago." He had a difficult life before because it is not easy to be famous through normal channels. Even if he shoots a funny video to become an Internet celebrity, can he Popularity also depends on luck, but this time he is the outstanding C position in the fourth season of "produce101". The debut news below such as "congratulations on the debut" and "deserving of the name" can have tens of thousands of likes That kind of heat is more than enough to live a lifetime.Under such circumstances, Xu Minghe still wants to become an idol. The most important reason is of course to take advantage of the momentum to earn a few more life points. The past two years are not in vain. In addition, he also wants to live a more responsible life. I don’t understand the group of idol fans, and my feelings for them can’t be called “love”. However, during the competition, fans from all over the world spent time and money in support and soliciting votes. Especially on the final night, fans spent a lot of money to create forwarding lucky draws and the like It's not like Xu Minghe couldn't feel the painstaking efforts spent in canvassing votes for himself.Even if they think rationally and coldly, fans probably lack the courage or motivation to experience the ups and downs by themselves. By supporting idols who are interested in this way, they can obtain spiritual satisfaction, implement and enrich the characters they have created, and give It is Xu Minghe's duty as an idol for fans to bring the happiness they expect.

Should be no problem, right?Improve my skills, work harder in business, I don't have any bad habits, and with such a big secret, I can avoid falling in love.Xu Minghe thought.

I've had enough life, I've done nothing wrong, I'll do well.

Xu Minghe, who was unable to chat with his teammates about his debut candidate, prepared himself mentally and walked into the conference room.

Swing summoned them just to inform some things, such as moving into the dormitory, closed practice to prepare for their debut, and also appropriately released some live broadcasts for fans to watch, such as selecting the captain and seat in the nanny car. Special reminder: "The best way to choose the captain is to pass unanimously. , the captain himself can vote for someone else." It would be embarrassing if the members had different candidates for the captain.

The members of the debut group named "X1" collectively paid attention to Han Shengyu: "I am the oldest, and I was the captain in the competition. I have experience in activities as the captain of Victon. Do you have any questions?"

Han Shengyu smiled: "Can I vote for Chengyan?"

The swing staff nodded: "Yes."

Compared to the people who met the brokerage company for the first time, Cao Chengyan was the most relaxed minor: "The reason is that I talk the most."

"You can say that." Han Shengyu said.

Xu Minghe was not as courageous as Cao Chengyan, he only asked Han Shengyu after they had parted, "Then what's the real reason?"

"I really think Chengyan will do better, and you will understand later," Han Shengyu said with a smile, not intending to answer Xu Minghe's questions directly, "How to divide the dormitory, draw lots?"

He said to the outside world that it must be a lottery, but in private, after the lottery was drawn, Han Shengyu asked the members about their wishes and needs. They will live together in the future, so there is no reason to force others to make things difficult.Xu Minghe's lottery was not very good. He shared a room with Song Hengjun and Cha Junhao, and they were not familiar people. But after thinking about it, he never called with minors. Wouldn't it be good if he didn't share the same room as a catalyst? Even more difficult to get familiar with, also accepted.In the end, Kim Yohan and Son Dongpyo shared one room, Cho Seung Yeon and Lee Han Gyeol shared one room, Lee Eun Sang and Nam Do Hyun shared one room, Han Seung Woo and Kim Woo Seok lived in two relatively small single rooms, and Xu Minghe lived in three with Song Hyung Joon and Cha Junhao. In the world, Song Hengjun and Cha Junhao didn’t have much luggage, and Xu Minghe’s musical instruments and composing equipment took up a lot of space. The two minors “respected the elders” and allowed Xu Minghe to occupy the most space. Xu Minghe didn’t expect it for a while How to "love children", he who has been in a band is a "carnivore" like Cao Chengyan, and he doesn't have Cao Chengyan's affinity, so it is a bit embarrassing to directly face to face with herbivorous minors.

Fortunately, Han Shengyu and Jin Yushuo "saved" him. After the captain of X1 spoke in the group and encouraged everyone to drop by, Jin Yushuo came: "Do you have time, Minghe?"

"Have."

"Come to my room." Jin Yushuo said with a smile.

"Yes." No matter what his mental age is, Jin Yushuo is three years older than Xu Minghe. Naturally, there is nothing to procrastinate about this kind of thing. Xu Minghe followed Jin Yushuo into his room. The room was tidy, but the lights were a bit dim. As soon as Jin Yushuo came in, he picked up the round-frame glasses on the bed and put them on. He is severely myopic and is allergic to contact lenses. He doesn't often wear frames outside for visual effects, but if he does the same in the room, his life will be as good as that of a blind person. There is no difference, Xu Minghe thought.

"Do you want supper?" Jin Yushuo, who put on glasses, pointed to the chair and motioned Xu Minghe to sit down, then turned and said to him.

Xu Minghe:?

"What do you think of chicken feet?"

"It's okay," Xu Minghe recalled, "Are you going to 'preach'?" It's true that Jin Yushuo likes to eat chicken feet, and if he meets people and wants to Amway, it's a bit of a human design.

Jin Yushuo had already put on plastic gloves, skillfully broke off the chicken feet twice, and brought it to Xu Minghe: "Just bite it like this, it's all meat...you understand it very well."

Xu Minghe wanted to come by himself but didn't have gloves, so he took a bite of Jin Yushuo's hand, and then Jin Yushuo ate the rest of the meat nonchalantly, and threw the bones into the trash can.

"Am I the first?" Xu Minghe asked.

"Minxi is also interested," but Jiang Minxi failed to debut, "Do you mind, not the first?"

"Should I say...jealous?" Xu Minghe thought for a while and said.

"Well done," Jin Yushuo said, "You don't have to think so much when you're with me, just cooperate with me." He emphasized his tone, "You did a good job on stage, I appreciate it."

"I respect you too."

"Not sympathy? I feel a little bit." Jin Yushuo turned his head to look at him, still smiling calmly, and his voice was gentle. Xu Minghe actually watched some videos of Jin Yushuo during the up10tion activities, and felt that compared to the "Yusin" at that time, Kim Woo-seok, who restarted in "produce101", has drastically reduced his aggressiveness and made it a habit.

In fact, Jin Yushuo didn't really need sympathy from his younger teammates, but Xu Minghe didn't immediately deny it. Instead, he thought for a moment and looked up at Jin Yushuo: "Is it not possible?"

"Okay," Jin Yushuo froze for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

"Can we talk more now?" Xu Minghe asked.He understands Han Shengyu's intentions. After debuting, not to mention all kinds of interviews, even small notes from fans at the fansign. Any questions may be raised. No matter whether the teammates are against each other or not, it is better to get to know each other first. as well.If you don't talk to each other during the competition, you won't talk to each other. Ahn Joon Young only broadcasts that stuff, making his official debut as a group, but it is not enough for the members to ask questions.

"I wanted to chat with you a long time ago, wait a minute," Jin Yushuo turned around, and took another pair of plastic gloves, "Put these on."

"Brother, how many pairs have you prepared?" Xu Minghe said dumbfoundedly, but behind him he deliberately put on a sour look as if he was joking.

"Today it's just you. If you're not used to it or don't know how to eat it, I'll order another one later."

The author has something to say: Zongxin started working the day after tomorrow. Originally, he had seven days off for Chinese New Year and had to take two days off, but he decided to put it at this time.

Fortunately, I said at the beginning that it was a seven-day holiday for the New Year, so I didn't plan to go back to Hubei, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come out now... The New Year has passed like this, I almost forgot that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

However, after the resumption of work, it is estimated that the canteen in the park will not be able to start work, and then there will be a lot of troubles.

Regarding the dormitory allocation of King Zhuang of Chu, Zong Xin was lazy and took Jiang Minxi's place directly.
