Welcome to Bloodline Unicom [Entertainment Circle]

At the end of July, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was scorching like fire.

Wearing a mask that covered most of her face, Lin Yuzhen sneaked out of the back door of Fangda Education Center with the brim of her black peaked cap lowered. When she saw the flamboyant yellow GTR parked on the side of the door, she had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Handsome, do you want to go?"

A taxi slid to the side in good time, and the driver lowered the window and twisted his neck to ask enthusiastic questions.

"Starship Entertainment." Lin Yuzhen opened the door without hesitation and jumped into the car, his tone was low and hurried, "Please hurry up."

The driver couldn't help but looked at him more from the rearview mirror.

He looks like a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with cool white skin in stark contrast to the black cloth, and a handsome nose bridge that can be seen faintly.

Even though it was a dog-day of scorching heat, he added a black zipper jacket over the short-sleeved T-shirt, and even pulled the zipper higher after getting in the car, as if he was afraid of the cold.

"Star?" The driver stepped on the accelerator and asked with a smile.

"...No." Lin Yuzhen wrapped her coat tightly, only to feel the cold coming out of her body in bursts - this situation began to appear this morning, after the inspection, the body temperature, heart rate and other indicators were all normal. It seems that except for adding two more There is no good way out of clothes.

As soon as he denied it, the phone rang again hastily.

Ji Ning's eager voice came out of the wireless earphones in the next second: "Captain, the assessment is about to start, there are still a few in our team who can't wake up, what should we do? Sister Ivy said just now, if you are one minute late, you won't be late. Exam..."

Lin Yuzhen couldn't help frowning: "What time are you still sleeping? It's almost half an hour for a nap, why are you so relaxed after class?"

"It's not a nap," Ji Ning smiled wryly, "They haven't gotten up since morning."

Lin Yuzhen: "..."

"Uh... I think it might be because the training intensity of the previous two days was too high." Ji Ning suddenly sensed Lin Yuzhen's murderous aura through the phone, and hurriedly smoothed things over, "I did sleep a little heavy. They've done it several times."

"Stop shouting," Lin Yuzhen said expressionlessly, "Turn off the air conditioner, and add two more quilts for them."

"Oh... okay." Ji Ning shivered lightly, then put down the phone and followed suit. Not long after, the people on the bed gradually showed signs of waking up. Just as they were about to press the end call button, they suddenly heard At Lin Yuzhen's end, there was the sound of a car horn, and he immediately became alert, "Captain, you... you are still on the road, right?"

Lin Yuzhen glanced back through the car window. The GTR parked at the back door of the education center a few minutes ago was so brightly painted in the sun.

"If you encounter some trouble, hang up first."

-

5 minutes ago, the office of the principal of Fangda Education.

"You are Lin Yuzhen's guardian?"

Lin Xiao dangled the car keys on his fingers, leaned against the sofa and raised his legs, and replied leisurely, "I'm his brother."

The headmaster frowned and looked at the young man in front of him for a while, hesitated to say something, and finally opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a thick stack of leave slips: "Mr. Lin, I think you need to take a look at this .Since the start of school on July [-]st, Lin Yuzhen has not attended a day of class in our school. To be precise, as of this morning, our school teachers have never seen Lin Yuzhen in person, but almost every day they receive a Leave note—does your guardian know about this matter?"

The car key spinning on Lin Xiao's finger suddenly stopped.

"One-week migraine, two-week appendicitis," the headmaster summed up the rules indignantly, withdrew the finger that handed out the leave note, and tapped the edge of the table, "Although his grades are not bad, this is too..."

"It's so similar..." Lin Xiao lowered his head and slowly flipped through his younger brother's leave slip, and murmured involuntarily.

The headmaster was at a loss: "...what?"

"Oh, that's what I mean," Lin Xiao couldn't help rubbing his fingers over the two big characters "Lin Xiao" on the lower right side of the signature a few times, and sighed, "The original font structure of this signature seems simple and unpretentious, but it is actually both It is difficult to imitate the universe.”

"..."

As soon as he raised his head, he happened to meet the headmaster's complex and unspeakable eyes, and hurriedly pulled back his thoughts: "...Sorry, you continue."

"It's been almost a month," the principal continued to accuse Lin Xiao angrily, "Only today, this afternoon, he came to sign in, but he didn't stay for half an hour, and he disappeared again! This time, he didn't even have a leave note! "

"It's outrageous." Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and sincerely apologized to the principal, "I'm sorry, I'll make him make it up when I get back."

headmaster:"……"

It was purely by accident that Lin Xiao received an interview call from the holiday cram school today.

The number registered in the information column of Lin Yuzhen's guardian has long been abandoned for many months due to the loss of the phone, until the new assistant hired by Lin Xiao came to report today and tidied up and down his utility room-like office , two old mobile phones, three data cables, five new pairs of earphones... some personal belongings that had been lost for an unknown period of time were able to be seen again.

Lin Xiao listened to the principal's endless accusations, and played with the old mobile phone that was fully charged not long ago, thinking, where did that little boy Lin Yuzhen go?

"The situation is basically like this," the principal concluded his statement after 3 minutes, "Since you choose vacation tutoring, you must have a correct attitude. No matter what your grades are, you must abide by the rules and regulations here when you come to Fangda Education. Reflect on your behavior and correct it in time.”

Lin Xiao got up from the sofa with a sigh of relief, shook his right hand with the principal politely, and prepared to embark on the journey of finding his younger brother.Just after leaving the back door of the school, I happened to catch a glimpse of Lin Yuzhen jumping into the taxi.

Lin Xiao shouted, "Stop!"

——Lin Yuzhen runs faster than a rabbit.

"Little brat, do you think you can outrun me?" Lin Xiao snorted, opened the door and started the engine.

The taxi driver felt psychedelic on what should have been an otherwise uneventful afternoon.

First, he pulled a customer who was wrapped up in summer and looked ready to rob a bank at any time, and then he was followed by a flamboyant yellow GTR. Can't get rid of it, no matter how you look at it, it's suspicious.

Just when the driver was thinking about whether to call the police, the teenager sitting in the back row finally ended the round of calls, turned his head and glanced out of the rear glass, then calmly picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Not feeling well today?" Lin Xiao's voice quickly came from the other side.

"No." Lin Yuzhen replied honestly.Apart from feeling a little cold, there are no other symptoms.

"Lin Yuzhen, you can," Lin Xiao said, "No wonder you refused the tutoring class and insisted on going to some cram school. It turned out that it was for the convenience of skipping classes—was it premeditated?"

Lin Yuzhen admitted her mistake with a good attitude: "I'm sorry brother, I promise this is the last time I will skip class this month."

"You promise to be a fart!" Lin Xiao said, "Today is July 7!"

Lin Yuzhen secretly sighed.

On the 13st of this month, which is the first day of summer vacation, he just went to participate in the final selection of Starship Entertainment, known as the "Entertainment Empire", and was successfully selected into the 1th batch of Starship Entertainment as a trainee [-] team.

This matter was kept a secret from the family from beginning to end.He will turn eighteen in a few months, and then he will not need a guardian to sign a formal artist contract.

However, the prerequisite is that his trainee career must be able to continue smoothly until then.

The monthly evaluation is the most important item in Starship Entertainment's trainee assessment system. The time was originally set on the first of each month, but this time, it was moved one day earlier, and it was still a temporary notice.

There is no training course in the company today. It took him some time to sneak out of the cram school after receiving the assessment notice, and now he must get out of Lin Xiao's nose as soon as possible, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

Lin Xiao asked again: "How long have you secretly practiced my signature?"

Lin Yuzhen thought: "Is it difficult to write "Mu Mu San Xiao"?

But he said: "It's been a little over a month... Brother, I'm really sorry, I secretly used your black widow limited-edition pen to practice my signature last month, I accidentally lost it, and ordered another one, the pen arrived yesterday Yes, I haven't had time to pick it up yet. Their new store is next to a cultural play store that sells green gold and jade carvings, and I'll go there to pick it up after I'm done, don't be angry."

After finishing speaking in one breath, he fell silent after speaking, quietly waiting for Lin Xiao to mark the key points by himself.

Lin Xiao pondered for a long time, and finally asked as expected: "—Green Gold Jade Carving? Why didn't you say it earlier! Have you seen it, and how is the appearance?"

The level of Lin Xiao's focus is not disappointing as always.

Lin Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "No, I don't understand this."

"Forget it, I know I can't count on you." Lin Xiao, who just returned from graduate school at the Academy of Fine Arts not long ago, asked anxiously, "Where is the shop?"

Under the nervous gaze of the driver, the GTR in the rearview mirror quickly changed lanes, turned right, and left their sight at an unbelievable speed.

……

The taxi eventually pulls up in front of Starship Entertainment headquarters.

Outside the gorgeous glass curtain wall, a giant holographic screen is playing the concept promotional videos of Starship Entertainment's previous debut groups. In the distance, star-chasing boys and girls are gathered in twos and threes with cameras on their shoulders.

As one of the top five entertainment companies in Asia, Starship Entertainment has held the top spot in the domestic entertainment industry for more than ten years. Naturally, Starship’s star-making ability should not be underestimated. Since the launch of the first-generation group JDI, Starship Entertainment has opened its own bright era. .

For more than ten years, it has almost become a law that "the starship has no muddle" when it comes to debut.The names of Starship artists have been entrenched in the major Asian music charts and group awards all year round. Various resources such as film and television and variety shows are also far behind other groups that debuted at the same time.

On the side of the main screen, a brief introduction of the members of the preparatory team for their recent debut is being played. When the holographic projection of the preparatory team Changjiang Yi appeared outside the curtain wall, there was a burst of sound in front of the headquarters.

"Jiang Yi!!"

"Jiang Yi—"

The full-body official photo in formal attire just passed by in a flash, but the wave that was set off could not be subsided for a long time.

For a month, it has been like this almost every day. Lin Yuzhen has long been used to it, but still noticed that today's fans are extremely large.He walked into the company quickly with this crazy sound wave, swiped his card, and pressed the 26F button on the elevator touch screen.

"Team Jiang."

"Hello, Senior Jiang."

Jiang Yi seemed to have just woken up, his black hair was a little messy on his forehead, he answered a few words casually, walked straight through the corridor of the training area on the 13th floor, and walked towards the expansion training room.

The trainees I met along the way greeted each other politely.

Except for work needs, Jiang Yi is not used to wearing makeup in private.Although in a state of bare makeup, a handsome and handsome face looks the same as the refined formula photo outside, and the superior body proportions of real people are even better than holographic projections.

Most of the newcomers in the thirteenth issue saw Jiang Yi himself for the first time. After being surprised, they suddenly understood the true meaning of the phrase "the makeup artist and the later stage probably like him more than the fans" circulated inside the company.

A trainee belonging to the 2nd team greeted Jiang Yi, and couldn't help but look back at the tall figure walking in the opposite direction, and whispered to his companion: "The assessment is about to start, why isn't Senior Brother Jiang going up?" ? Oh no, doesn’t he usually come to our floor?”

The trainee next to him smiled mischievously: "He is the Jiang team, of course it is different from us, what else do you think he will take the exam for?"

"But, even the captain of the pre-debut team doesn't have the right to be exempted from the exam, right?" Ji Ning, who was standing in the queue waiting for the elevator, dragging a few sleepy-eyed teammates along, couldn't help doubting.The starship entertainment team is quite strict in the assessment of trainees. Entering the debut preparatory group does not mean that they will be able to debut 100% of the time. If they fail a monthly assessment, it is a matter of minutes to be pushed down.

Before the trainee next to him could answer, there was a sudden "beep" in the corridor, and the 60-second countdown to the monthly evaluation assessment started unexpectedly, and the transparent screen facing the practice area also lit up.

Behind the huge number, the overall list of comprehensive evaluations of trainees from last month appeared on it together, and began to scroll rapidly as the number decreased.

From the sixth period to the thirteenth period, the names of all the trainees of Starship Entertainment are on the list. The freshmen in the No.13 period have not yet experienced the monthly evaluation, and the ranking is based on the results of the final test.

The list scrolled quickly from bottom to top, and the trainees kept their eyes wide open while waiting for the elevator, trying to catch their names.

The general list quickly reached the top. Due to the speed, few people could clearly see their ranks, but everyone could clearly see the line at the top - 001: Jiang Yi.

With a soft "ding", the No. 2 elevator reached the 13th floor, and the trainees rushed in without daring to delay any longer.

"Let me just say, how could Senior Brother Jiang not participate in the assessment," the trainee from Team 2 regained his composure just now, and murmured, "No. [-] in the overall evaluation list... no wonder."

It’s no wonder that before his debut, there are a group of entertainment journalists chasing him downstairs from time to time, touting him as a "next-generation trump card" and "the future of starship" in the press release—maybe the words are exaggerated, but it is undeniable that Jiang Yi's strong comprehensive strength and superior appearance have indeed been placed in high expectations.

"Brothers, you are so naive," the blue-haired trainee next to him smiled slyly, with gossip in his eyes, and the old god patted Ji Ning and the shoulders of Team 2 members on the ground, "I have listened to several episodes of Phase [-]. The senior brother privately said that Jiang Yi never participated in any monthly assessment. If we dare not participate, we will be eliminated directly, without even a chance for a supplementary test. As for him, his ranking has been stable all the time without anyone coming. Hang on top."

"...No way? Can it still be like this?!" A trainee in the elevator was startled.

"Keep your voice down. It's nothing for us to talk about in private, so don't talk nonsense when you go out." The blue-haired trainee made a silent gesture and smiled mysteriously, "I'll break the news for you again. ——Jiang Yi is not an ordinary trainee, do you know what relationship he has with our President Wu?"

Mr. Wu, that is, the largest shareholder of Starship Entertainment, Wu Ruiliang.

The trainees in the elevator looked at him eagerly, like a group of people who have smelled melons.

"Senior brother Jiang, although his surname is Jiang, is actually Mr. Wu's adopted son." The blue-haired boy said in a low voice, "Mr. Wu has no children of his own. Have you heard of this? Anyway, Jiang Yi has been with him since he was very young, and he is regarded as a child of his own." Raised by my own son."

The air in the elevator froze for a moment, and after a while, an unknown person sighed quietly: "I'll go, it's too lucky to debut at the same time as him..."

Soon someone put forward the opposite opinion: "You're lucky, that's an unshakable ACE, do you know how to write the word 'foil'?"

"No, can you use your brain to think about it, no matter how poor the resources are for a team, how bad can it be?"

……

When the elevator door opened, the teenagers inside were still arguing over the topic of "whether it's lucky or unlucky to be on the same team as Jiang Yi".

Artist director Ivy leaned on the door frame of the assessment room and looked at them with folded arms: "You are in a good mood, kid, it seems that you are all ready?"

"..." The people in the elevator were instantly as quiet as chickens.

Jiang Yi pushed open the door of the expansion training room, came to the MR (Mixed Reality Technology) simulation cabin, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times on the touchpad beside him, a part of the printer-like components started to work, and after a few seconds, a piece of paper was spit out. PET film containing personal information.

Yesterday afternoon, under the arrangement of Ivy, the trainees of the thirteenth period came here to take a mock test.

In recent years, Starship Entertainment has incorporated MR competition into its commercial territory, so the business scope of trainees has also been expanded accordingly. However, this competition requires extremely high physical fitness of players and must go through strict screening.According to yesterday's test, after nine hours of information processing, the simulation cabin gave out a detailed test report for each of the thirteen trainees.

After the machine finished printing, Jiang Yi glanced at the information on the last film.

[1th Phase [-] Team|Captain

Name: Lin Yuzhen

Sex: Male

Age: 17 years old

Height: 178.5cm

Weight: XNUM X kg

Dynamic vision at night: ***

Maximum Response Speed: ***

...]

The rest of it was mostly blocked by the file storage box. Jiang Yi didn't look at it any more. He simply sorted out the stack of PET film, took it to the door of the expansion training room, and pressed the up button of elevator No. 1.

In elevator car No. 1, the LCD screen flashes the same countdown as in the corridor, 40, 39, 38...

Lin Yuzhen closed her eyes, raised her head and took a deep breath, slowly calming down her heartbeat.According to the current upward speed of the elevator, there is still about 30 seconds left when reaching the examination room, which is enough.

When the number of floors on the display jumped to "13", the elevator stopped suddenly.

Lin Yuzhen opened his eyes.

In the corridor on the thirteenth floor, Jiang Yi and an elderly outward bound training teacher were standing face to face, talking about something.

Seeing the elevator door open, the teacher nodded to Lin Yuzhen and said, "Please wait a moment." At the same time, he handed back the PET film in his hand to Jiang Yi, and patted Jiang Yi's shoulder with the other hand, " Don't delay your business, go up quickly."

Jiang Yi politely nodded goodbye to him, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

Lin Yuzhen joined Starship for a month, and this was the first time he saw the famous pre-production team leader himself, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.I wanted to raise my hand to help him press the door open button on the touch screen, but in a mistake, I pressed the door close button.

...Jiang Yi was standing one step away from the elevator.

The elevator door closed quickly as the two looked at each other wordlessly, leaving Jiang Yi behind and galloping away.
