A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

The news that Wei Xiaolin was fired from the company immediately became the focus of heated discussions.

Idol is an industry that sells dreams. What many fans eat is the routine of teammates helping each other, loving each other and working hard together. Many groups will never openly admit the internal discord among members even until they disband, fearing to offend fans.

Guanghe Entertainment did not hesitate to destroy the reputation that the group has been working hard to build, but also insisted on dismissing Wei Xiaolin. This kind of behavior is in the eyes of fans. One can imagine how unspeakable Wei Xiaolin's crimes are.

Wei Xiaolin quickly accepted this reality. He didn't have much in the dormitory, mostly daily necessities. Except for his daily change of clothes, even the clothing was sponsored by the group.Wei Xiaolin returned to the dormitory after he broke up with Zhao Qi the night before, he quietly packed his things, and then moved back to the dormitory that night.

He didn't want to go back to the school dormitory at first, he even took out his mobile phone to buy a ticket to go home to escape the storm of public opinion in front of him, but home can't be his safe haven forever, the choice is his own, he You have to learn to face it by yourself, so Wei Xiaolin dragged the suitcase back to school.

Even the male dormitory of the Film Academy is no different from the male dormitory of any university in the country. It was already late at night when Wei Xiaolin returned to school with his suitcase. Paper and pen, and said: "Write down the names and phone numbers of the professional classes in the college, and remember to return late."

Wei Xiaolin thought to himself, I don't know what the storm will be like tomorrow, just remember that I came back late, and my alma mater is indeed my alma mater.

He opened the door and entered the dormitory. In the middle of the night, the dormitory was as lively as daytime. His roommates were gathering together to play games. They didn't even feel surprised to see him come back. There is no roommate friendship in the e-sports world, which made Wei Xiaolin The fear that had been vaguely in my heart before faded away a lot.

He felt an unspeakable sense of comfort and relaxation, washed his face and went to bed.Accompanied by the faint light of the computer screen and the sound of typing on the keyboard when the roommates were playing games, Wei Xiaolin had a rare good sleep.

The next day he was woken up by the exclamation of his roommate, who yelled: "I rely on Wei Xiaolin, your company has issued a statement! You have been fired!"

Wei Xiaolin sat up in a daze and yawned. His heart skipped a beat when he heard the news, but after all, he was already mentally prepared and it was his own choice. He still said calmly without changing his face: "yes."

The roommate gave him a thumbs up and said, "Don't be afraid in the face of danger, don't panic at all, he is a person who does great things."

Wei Xiaolin also winked at him, and said, "It's good that you understand." He then said to his roommate, "Please ask me for a leave today, just say that I'm in the company to handle things."

The roommate spat at him: "You have already taken this month's leave before you lost your job. I think you still have half a month to spend."

It's always easy to make jokes, but after all the dormmates left, Wei Xiaolin was lying on the bed alone, and turned on his phone for the first time after the turmoil for so long.

But his social account had indicated that he could not log in, Wei Xiaolin smiled helplessly, and clicked on WeChat again.Zhao Qi still sent him a message. It was a long paragraph. The general content was that if he accepted the company's statement, everything including his social account would be taken back by the company, and he would lose all the popularity bonuses gained by joining the group. .If he still has the heart, quitting the group does not mean quitting the company. After all, his contract is still in the hands of the company, and the company can arrange other activities for him. I hope he will consider it carefully.

Wei Xiaolin is no longer a simple college freshman. After all, he has been in the industry for several years, and he already understands the meaning behind this sentence. On behalf of the company, Zhao Qi is willing to give him a chance. It may only be two points, and the remaining eight points are all for the company. Threat: If he insists on going his own way and goes to a stalemate with the company, not only will he lose all the favorable conditions he had as an artist, but he will also be hidden by the company due to contract issues.

Before entering the circle, Wei Xiaolin had heard of many disputes between artists and brokerage companies due to contract issues. The famous ones would be brought up for discussion, and the unknown ones would often be resolved in an obscure way. Now Wei Xiaolin’s troubles are well known to everyone , probably counted as red.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the red that the company adopts such a method similar to a strong man cutting his wrists. Even if he loses his popular support, he cannot allow a person who is not controlled by the company or bound by industry rules to stay in the team. The popularity brought by people is temporary, but the threat it brings is long-lasting.

Calculating carefully, what Wei Xiaolin did was not an evil thing against the sky and reason, but the company went from top to bottom from the outside to the inside, preventing the erroneous progress, and touched Wei Xiaolin's roots.

As expected, Wei Xiaolin's performance did not disappoint them. With a tough face, he resolutely rejected the company's offer of apology, and even moved out of the member's dormitory overnight.In this case, he has given the company a bad start, and the company will not be polite.

Wei Xiaolin suddenly lost his job, and there was a turmoil on the Internet, but he himself was left alone.Ke Xing, who had been pestering him before, didn't show up again last night after he was bullied by his words, and the annoying phone and text message reminders stopped. Wei Xiaolin's hard work in the past few days was backfired at this moment, and he fell asleep with his head covered. After returning to the cage, I slept fully until the afternoon.

It was a sunny day, Wei Xiaolin stood in front of the window and felt that he had a long-lost and rare peace.In fact, he was not dissatisfied when he was in the group. He has always wanted to make FOREST better with the three members, and he did not dare to slack off at all.Although it is hard work, it is also rewarding.

But the change probably started when Ke Xing went to review the sprint.Maybe the problem has been around for a long time, but at that time, Ke Xing was in it to mediate, which eased a lot of conflicts.When Ke Xing, who served as a buffer zone, suddenly left the group, all the unresolved and unresolved issues they had been asking for a long time were all exposed: the huge disparity between strength and popularity, the huge gap between what they think they are paying and what they think they are getting. It made it difficult for Bai Yang and Wu Tang to maintain a calm state of mind.

What's more, as an idol group, the two-year rise is the limit. Either everyone will try their best to reach the top in one breath, or they will be like FOREST, each with their own ideas, and finally end embarrassingly.

Wei Xiaolin had nothing to say to them, but there was still a bit of a weird secret in his heart. He thought that when he was in the team, Bai Yang and Wu Tang probably regarded him as a thorn in their side. Now that he was finally eliminated, it was up to the two of them. Can the individual turn over in popularity?

Wei Xiaolin thinks it's probably impossible, because popularity is never something that A can replace B after leaving. The opportunity to soar in popularity is very close and ingenious, but most people just go all out and then decline.Although it is difficult to accept that you can't make a big hit, you must admit that sometimes in idol groups, some people really can only exist in the form of green leaves.

The only thing that makes Wei Xiaolin feel sorry is his fans. Wei Xiaolin's fans have grown from nothing, from weak to strong. Wei Xiaolin knows better than anyone how hard it is. His fans were still fighting for him the day before, desperately Explain that Wei Xiaolin is not that kind of person.But the next day they suddenly received the news that they were publicly fired from the company. They didn't know how big a blow this news was to the fan base.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaolin suddenly cheered up. He thought why he should be controlled by the company. If the company took back an official account, wouldn't he be able to have another account?What the company takes back is only the account number, and the fans are still his own.

Wanting to understand this, Wei Xiaolin immediately re-registered a new account, and then publicly posted a Weibo: "Be a student again."

Fearing that fans might not recognize him, Wei Xiaolin took a selfie of himself and set the location at the Film Academy.

Soon fans discovered this Weibo, and when they reposted and followed this Weibo one after another, Wei Xiaolin saw a familiar figure in the repost:

@陈瑞: The future is boundless.

Chen Rui reposted Wei Xiaolin's Weibo. When Wei Xiaolin saw it, his jaw hit the table. In order to prevent what he saw was a fake account, Wei Xiaolin even clicked on Chen Rui's personal homepage and found this The first Weibo was nakedly posted on his homepage, and the last one was even an advertisement for Chen Rui's new endorsement.

Chen Rui's retweet added fuel to Wei Xiaolin's already boiling enthusiasm, and immediately sent him to the top of the trending search, followed by "explosion".

Countless real and fake passers-by poured into Wei Xiaolin's new account, commenting on Wei Xiaolin's dismissal.Wei Xiaolin didn't even have time to read it—his Weibo got stuck, and he forcibly exited the page. Now he can only swipe and pull the wallpaper on his phone, sitting idly.

Why did Chen Rui forward it?Wei Xiaolin couldn't figure it out.He thought he had made it clear that the two were going to part ways, and the company put him in the crew to play with Chen Rui in order to earn some popularity.Now that he has been fired from the company, [-]% of the time he still faces the risk of being hidden. Whether he can keep his part in the filming is a matter of debate. There is no need for Chen Rui to drag himself into the water and stir up news with him.What's more, Chen Rui's relationship with Guanghe Entertainment is much closer than his relationship with Guanghe Entertainment. Chen Rui can be an old friend of the company.

Wei Xiaolin had a headache for a long time, and finally thought jokingly, Chen Rui really wanted to grab me, right?

Soon he himself vetoed this idea. He still hasn't forgotten how Chen Rui cautiously persuaded Zhao Qi to drop the play when he almost cooperated with An Zhenhe.

Wei Xiaolin didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Rui's gourd, but after Wei Xiaolin received Ke Xing's WeChat, he knew that his head really hurt.

Ke Xing probably saw Chen Rui's Weibo, and hurriedly sent a message to Wei Xiaolin: "Brother Xiaolin! Now that the company has taken away our account, I can't post Weibo to support you! I really don't know that things will change I’m so sorry, brother Lin, I’m obsessed with it! Hit me and scold me! I can post it on Moments now, and I’ll let all the reporters and media who interviewed me repost it!”

Wei Xiaolin breathed heavily in his heart, his temples were so painful that there was a buzzing feeling, he gritted his teeth and said: "No, we are fine." Then he dragged Ke Xing into the blacklist.
