Travels

Two months slipped through the fingers like running water, and Xia Wanmu clearly felt the invisible marks left by the years in the intensive study and practice.She is no longer as energetic and tireless as she was when she was sixteen or seventeen years old. Singing, dancing and vocal training around the clock has become a heavy burden for her. She gritted her teeth and persisted, with only one belief in her heart: this time , must not be left behind by Yu Qingge again.

Lu Zhen saw her performance, and his attitude changed a lot. Perhaps it was because Xia Wanmu's success was inseparable from his bonus. In short, he treated her more sincerely and closer to her than before. up.However, Xia Wanmu is not sensitive to this change. After all, Lu Zhen is sometimes too off-line. She has long been wary of the kindness of the capitalists, but she still doesn't know that the piece of cake Shenghuang gave her , How many times does it take her to return it?

The day of the official recording of the program is coming soon. At this time, the city of Z has entered late autumn. Xia Wanmu is sitting in the nanny car assigned by the company, resting his chin on the street trees passing by outside the window in a daze.

"What are you thinking? Let's hear it."

Lu Zhen sat opposite her, sitting comfortably with his legs crossed.He stretched out his hand to pinch a grape and peeled it carefully, his raised little finger drew a disturbing curve in the air.

Xia Wanmu was silent for a while, her moist peach eyes turned to him, staring straight at him, as if seeking some comfort.

"Do you think it will work today?"

The corners of her raised eyes are charming and charming, her brows are slightly frowned, and her black eyes are misty and misty like the south of the Yangtze River soaked by the April rain, set on that smooth and delicate face like snow.Lu Zhen was dazzled by her beauty for a moment, and swallowed the grapes he had just chewed, and the grapes stuck in his throat until he choked up tears.

He leaned down, and there was an earth-shattering cough. Xia Wanmu shrank his legs subconsciously, hesitantly wanted to reach out, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the assistant on the side who had gone up to beat his back and handed him a tissue, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you know where your only advantage is?" Lu Zhen hesitated for a while, sat up straight with difficulty, took the water glass handed by the person next to him and drank it.

Xia Wanmu's index finger was slightly bent on her lower lip, and she answered uncertainly, "Work hard?"

Lu Zhen covered his mouth with warm water and exhausted all his strength to restrain himself from spraying her face. He swallowed the water with a full breath, looking at the helplessness of a fool in his eyes.

"Work hard...you work very hard, but your own hard work is not important, the important thing is that the audience knows that you work hard." He shook his finger, raised his chin and put on a proud posture, "a lot of things are the same , talent, character, relationship network, etc...these can all be packaged, do you understand?"

"Most of the qualities needed to become popular can be solved with money. Your real person may not even have anything to do with these qualities. As long as you can perform, the money can be in place, and the audience can be convinced. Only money The unreachable territory, that is what makes you different from others, and it is also the place where the audience remembers you."

Xia Wanmu looked at him without saying a word, and there was no emotion in Taohua's eyes.

Lu Zhen cleared his throat, remembered the "quick dissipation" rhetoric he mentioned to the boss, and said solemnly: "You show different aspects to the audience, and there will be different effects. If you do it inappropriately, it will definitely arouse disgust. Of course, this It's not something you need to worry about, the company has already done a comprehensive analysis for you. You are an avenger, a promising star who was shamelessly banned by China Star for refusing to follow the unspoken rules. My sister actually took the opportunity to step on you and rob you of your resources to become bigger, you swallowed your anger and still don’t want to give up your dream, and with the help of Shenghuang, you returned to the entertainment circle and started from scratch..."

Lu Zhen showed his white teeth, and smiled secretly: "Who would reject such a person? The tree attracts the wind, Hua Xing and Yu Qingge are so powerful, they have prevented many people from eating cakes, you are just an introduction, waiting to catch fisherman The benefits will do.”

Xia Wanmu's eyes moved slightly, thinking that if she really made the introduction, she would be the scapegoat introduced by Sheng Huang, Hua Xing would definitely see her as a thorn in his side, if the two families couldn't compete, the first person to be cannon fodder would be There is no doubt about it.It's been ten years, and the circle has not changed. How can she break away from being an abandoned son and become the indispensable killer move of the Shenghuang?

Lu Zhen looked at her thoughtful look, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and said lazily: "You already know how to express the plan proposed by the company in general, and you need to react on the spot to react specifically. After all, a few other people or the program team may give you some trouble. In short, you should take good care of it. It’s not impossible to put some money in the post-editing to select the shots or something. It’s just that it will increase unnecessary expenses. If it is not, the company will be very headache, you understand."

Xia Wanmu nodded and turned her eyes away.The car stopped in front of the traffic light, the autumn wind was blowing wantonly outside the window, a few fallen leaves were rolled up, floating all the way and finally hit the car window, she reached out and touched the glass lightly, wanting to hold them, but the green light Soon it was lit up, and the nanny car drove away, throwing down the withered leaves, and finally could not escape the fate of being crushed by others.

"A few days ago, after the company officially announced the candidates for this variety show, Liang Wan came to make a fuss, have you heard?" Lu Zhen seemed to think of something, and laughed, "If it's recorded like that for her Fans, look, tsk tsk, what kind of gentle and lyrical style is it, the persona shouldn't be the exact opposite of the person, otherwise it would be easy to pass through."

"Xiao Shengdong sent her back with just a few words. This woman has no brains." He leaned on the loose and comfortable seat, feeling very comfortable, "I guess she is going to tear her face off this time and prepare to jump to Huaxing. Let's sit Just wait for a wave of huge liquidated damages.”

"Bring more people like this to give charcoal in a timely manner, and the Shenghuang branch can be opened overseas."

Xia Wanmu lowered his eyes and did not speak, his gaze seemed to be frozen and nailed to the ground.

"Why are you absent-minded? What are you thinking? Are you still nervous?" Lu Zhen tilted his head to look at her, and sincerely comforted him: "I think you are fine, don't worry, with my sharp eyes, anyone who gets my approval There is no one who ends up dead."

"The company has prepared such a good deck of cards for you. Just calm down and play normally. The results of more than two months of training are not fake. I fully believe in you!"

Xia Wanmu hummed lightly as an answer, and Lu Zhen could see that she was not in the mood for small talk, so she simply let her think wildly.He could see that this girl was a caring person, and in time she might be able to break through the company's expectations, but everything was unknown, and he could only stop at it.

In the silence of the car, they quickly arrived at their destination.Xia Wanmu stood against the wind and lowered her head, passed through the fans of other people who came to visit the set, and walked towards the TV station. The slightly thin clothes kept chilling in the cold wind. She was shivering, and it was the first time that she really felt that she was about to say goodbye Yu Qingge's fear and excitement.It is said that the closeness to the hometown is timid, but her affection is because of the person she loved deeply many years ago. This love has not been completely wiped out after being betrayed, but it has gradually fermented in colorful emotions. She has become a demon that even she herself can't understand.

The surrounding fans were immersed in the excitement of seeing their idols, and the light boards and banners they held were shaking non-stop amidst the shouts.Yu Qingge's name flashed in front of her eyes a few times, she gritted her teeth, her eyes didn't know where to fall, she just stared at the toe of her shoes, step by step she stepped hard on the cement paved ground.

Has Yu Qingge arrived yet?Still on the way?She seemed to have smelled the perfume Yu Qingge used to, but then she raised the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner. It has been so many years, who would still hold on to a perfume?Who would refuse to let go of an old love?She was so afraid that she would run into Yu Qingge suddenly, so she became panic-stricken at everything around her, but she was terrified all the way, but she didn't catch a trace of Yu Qingge after all.She heaved a sigh of relief, and for some reason felt a little lost in her heart. It was not until she sat down on the soft sofa in the lounge that she finally remembered that her first stage appearance in eight years was about to begin.

"Teacher Xia, rest for a while. After an hour, the performance will start according to the order of recording. You are the first to appear on the stage. If you need anything, just let us know. Someone will come and take you later."

Xia Wanmu was being drawn carefully by the makeup artist with her face lifted up. She watched the staff leave with squinting eyes, and hadn't finished digesting the sentence Mr. Xia for a long time.

"Today's recording task is quite heavy. After you go up to sing, you have to wait for the other three to finish singing in the tutor's room. Remember to comment appropriately. The lyrics are all written for you. You can pick a few lines and play them on the spot. Do you understand? Although it's a bit low to put you in the first position, it's still not a bad loss to be able to change two more cameras." Lu Zhen took the script and chattered to her, looking like an old mother, "Wait a minute According to the schedule, there will be at least 50 students going up to the talent show, you should pay attention to the winks and camera shots of other instructors, don't rush to talk, and don't be too passive, act according to your feelings."

The program "7 from a Hundred Mile" echoes the current trend of girl groups in the entertainment industry. As the name suggests, the program group will select 100 most suitable members from 7 students to form a group debut.The recording of the first phase begins with four mentors with their own specialties performing a masked talent show and delivering a team declaration. Next, [-] students can choose freely according to the talents and declarations of the mentors. The number is not limited, but in the end the team of four mentors At least one student will be selected to join the women's team.

Xia Wanmu stared at Lu Zhen's mouth that kept opening and closing, his thoughts drifted away.After negotiating with the program group, Shenghuang finally decided on singing and dancing, with dancing as the main focus.But it has been eight years since she was on the stage. Even though she spent two months practicing day and night, this quick jumping method is obviously not enough to support the thickness of an entire program recording.In this case, she can only create heat and topics from other places, otherwise she can easily fail to make any splashes in this show.Lu Zhen wanted to tie her and Yu Qingge tightly, but she knew how annoying it would be to keep chasing after her former teammates all the time.Shenghuang wanted her to be a hot topic, whether it was black or red, it didn't matter, but to her, regardless of black and red, just interacting with Yu Qingge to climb the peak or something, it was really ugly and shameless.

She no longer thinks about the ending of the two of them, but simply thinks that if she can regain her glory and be close to Yu Qingge again, then she would rather choose a more open and aboveboard way.

But how can it be done?She opened her eyes and looked ahead, her eyes seemed to penetrate the people and things in front of her, chasing after the person she wanted to see.

If they meet again, what kind of answer will Yu Qingge give her?

There was a knock on the door, and someone was calling softly outside the door.

"Is Miss Xia ready? It's about to start."
