A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

Having said that, Wei Xiaolin inevitably took Ah Mai with him when he got off the plane to go to Guanghe Entertainment.

Zhao Qi and A Mai are about the same age, but probably because of their different life experiences and career development, Zhao Qi seemed confident and calm. He chatted with Wei Xiaolin, asked him some basic information, and then threw a question at Wei Xiaolin. question.

"Do you want to be a trainee and debut as an idol group?"

Wei Xiaolin was a little taken aback. He had been a trainee for a long time, but he never got the chance to make his debut. Later, when he was admitted to the film academy, he gave up his mind and decided to take the road of film and television. But he didn't expect that Zhao Qi had a problem and wanted to make his debut. He brought back the dark trainee career.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Qi explained: "The company plans to launch an idol boy group recently. Your image fits very well with our group's positioning. You have also performed successfully on stage before, so I hope you can join. I think you are from the film school. Yes, if you want to take the road of film and television in the future, your idol experience and stage performances are your advantages. Of course, the biggest advantage is the fans and enthusiasm accumulated during being an idol. Now the times are different, and actors also need fans.”

Zhao Qi patted Wei Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes opportunities are right in front of you, so you should think carefully about them."

Wei Xiaolin did not give up this opportunity in the end, and he formally entered Guanghe to start training.

Probably because Zhao Qi really thought he could be popular, so he took care of Wei Xiaolin's former company's affairs, even Ah Mai's affairs, and brought him into the company together.Zhao Qi's original words are that the new group needs a knowledgeable leader, and he has other artists on hand. He pays more attention to them in the early stage of his debut, but he can't cover everything in the future. Ah Mai is a good candidate.

For Wei Xiaolin, changing the company is just a place where he checks in every day. He didn't have any job improvement in the previous company, and he didn't make any friends of the same generation. He came and went naked, but it was clean.

Practice life is very full.Especially for Wei Xiaolin.

Wei Xiaolin has to study and go to class during the day, and has to stay in the practice room for three hours at night. Counting the commuting time, Wei Xiaolin wears stars and moons every day.Fortunately, in the comprehensive assessment after a month of practice, he made rapid progress, entered the debut group, and had a dormitory assigned by the company.

The life of a trainee is very boring. In addition to the never-ending practice, Wei Xiaolin and other trainees are also arranged some fashion dressing classes and luxury brand appreciation classes on weekends. The company hopes to improve the taste of the members and broaden their horizons. vision.

For Wei Xiaolin, this course is particularly necessary. It is also through this course that he understands for the first time why Chen Rui can tell at a glance that he is wearing an out-of-season summer dress.

Those were the last words Chen Rui left him that day. He hadn’t seen Chen Rui for a long time after that, but Wei Xiaolin was in the company and was a trainee of Guanghe Entertainment, so this matter was always related to Chen Rui .Without Chen Rui, he would not have joined the company.

The male idol group FOREST officially launched by Guanghe Entertainment has a total of four members. In addition to Wei Xiaolin, there are two college students and one high school student.The four members have been training together for half a year from pre-debut to official debut, but except for Wei Xiaolin, the other members have been practicing in the company for a long time.

Wei Xiaolin is the oldest and serves as the captain of the group. Two boys of his age, Bai Yang and Wu Tang, both study music. The youngest, Ke Xing, is still in high school and will take the college entrance examination next year. Many awards.A combination combines the three parties of film and television songs. Fans often joke that this is the ultimate configuration.

Naturally, these fans are old fans accumulated by a few early trainees. Wei Xiaolin, as an airborne, basically has no fans, all relying on other trainees to bring attention.

It was named FOREST at the beginning because the four members had Mu in their names. Fans entertained themselves, saying that wood makes fire, which means that the group will definitely become popular, and Wei Xiaolin monopolizes two woods, and will definitely be the most popular one in the future. .

In recent years, the domestic idol market has become hot again. Even some well-known well-known entertainment companies are rushing to get a piece of the pie. For example, Guanghe Entertainment, after failing to promote the BESTTOP group before, they turned their guns to the direction of film and television, but they have never given up on idols. Combining this piece of fat, we have been looking for young boys and girls with potential to join the company all over the country, so we can have the opportunity of FOREST's debut.

But after debuting, everything went not as easy as Wei Xiaolin imagined.Guanghe Entertainment is most famous in the eyes of the masses not for the company's artists and works, but for the gossip between the company's boss and his wife.Now that Xu Xijing has been called Mrs. Boss, in fact, it is an open secret that he and the boss are in the company, but no one tells it outside, and outsiders can only guess based on the past.

With such enthusiasm from the masses, Wei Xiaolin and his teammates made their debut not under the name of FOREST, but under the name of senior brother Xu Xijing, which seemed particularly embarrassing.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, but with Xu Xijing's name, Wei Xiaolin and the others really earned a lot of attention.What's more, Guanghe Entertainment has arranged for the debut single, debut MV, debut meeting, debut variety show, and even the commercial platform for face painting. The little artist was envious.From the original [-]th line, Wei Xiaolin has also become the envy of his classmates.

But the embarrassment of FOREST is also obvious. When standing on the stage, although this group is considered excellent in terms of various configurations, it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience.

This kind of force is too evenly put FOREST into an embarrassing situation, all the way waiting for the old fans from the trainees to the debut, some are disappointed, and it is difficult to attract new fans. The plan is expected to be popular once it is launched. The situation did not appear. Compared with Guanghe Entertainment's lively press release, the situation of FOREST is really a bit dull.

In fact, FOREST has already had a failure example, which shows that the company does not know how to operate a group. It arranges a lot of activities, but it is always a passerby who goes to make soy sauce. Neither the company nor the group has seen it. reward.

Guanghe Entertainment can only continue to spend money and resources to support the water poured out by the debut combination.Therefore, although FOREST is not yet popular, it has already harvested the first batch of black fans, and it is known as a shame for forcing it.This is not surprising, now that the idol market is so fiercely competitive, there are many popular and well-known groups, and they prefer FOREST, which has the resources to rely on big companies to take advantage of the cool, to come first, which naturally arouses dissatisfaction among the crowd.

This time, his brother won a rare opportunity for the group to attend the award ceremony. What's even more valuable is that Wei Xiaolin will be one of the hosts of this award ceremony—there are as many as six hosts for this evening, and the number of people will soon catch up. As for the configuration of the Spring Festival Gala, Wei Xiaolin, as one of them, has already been envied by his peers until his eyes turn red.

The award ceremony set up different links of host on the main stage, off-stage interviews, and oral broadcast on the second stage. Wei Xiaolin was responsible for reading the commercials on the second stage. Although the task was a little mentally handicapped, at least there were many shots. The picture of the gold master's father.

After memorizing the words for a while, Wei Xiaolin felt that he had almost memorized them, so he began to discuss the details of the awards ceremony with his agent.

The big boss of Guanghe Entertainment is Qin Zeyuan, backed by a big company and group, Wei Xiaolin and the others don't have to worry about their persuasion, they pick everything up, and they will never lose face on such an occasion.

Guanghe Entertainment cultivates artists, and does not engage in setback education. If there is anything good, just greet the newcomers, and firmly believe that the more you invest, the more you will get back.In fact, Guanghe Entertainment has a lot of money and wealth, and they don't even bother to pick and search for such small fights.

In Wei Xiaolin's trainee career of more than half a year, and not a very long debut time, in addition to learning singing and dancing, he was also arranged to learn various courses in fashion appreciation and body management, and finally understood the so-called high Climbing fashion circles, for example, there are high and low between brands, different series of the same brand also have high and low, and even the prices of different periods of release are not the same.

Right now, Wei Xiaolin relies on his clothes to dress decently, and Ah Mai feels elated as he follows him.Ah Mai is glad that he made the right bet at this step, Wei Xiaolin is sure to be popular, no, he was even given a good chance to be popular.

In fact, the group was able to go to this awards ceremony thanks to their senior brother Xu Xijing. Xu Xijing himself was invited to be an award presenter, so he brought his junior along with him like a family.

But his brother, the manager, was afraid that the members would be too nervous to tell the members, so he told Wei Xiaolin, please tell the members more, and don't embarrass the company and Xu Xijing.After all, Xu Xijing is not only a senior brother and senior, but also the proprietress of the company. She speaks better than Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin protects him more tightly than his heart and lungs. If he really loses his face, it will be like losing Mr. Qin's face. Still serious.

Sitting in the car going to the venue, Wei Xiaolin and several members kept a rare silence. They were very nervous. This was the first time they attended such a grand ceremony, let alone the first time since they would enter the industry soon. red carpet.

The youngest, Ke Xing, was still in high school, and he was the most nervous. Seeing Wei Xiaolin roll up the script more and more tightly, he suggested, "Brother Xiaolin, please read your lines for us, or I will be too nervous."

Wei Xiaolin thought it made sense, put the script on his lap, spread it out to smooth it out, took a deep breath and began to read, and actually felt that his mood was soothed, and the other members in the car also calmed down, almost reaching the goal When they were on the ground, Wei Xiaolin put away the notebook, looked up at his teammates, everyone looked at each other, and then got out of the car.

Because it is not a big name, FOREST entered the venue according to the schedule. There were many reporters on both sides of the red carpet, and there were staff members holding mobile phones to broadcast the live broadcast. The sound of flash shutters kept coming and going. Just made it to the red carpet.

As the team leader, Wei Xiaolin forced himself to remain calm, but he could no longer control his expression management, except for giggling and laughing.The host asked them to greet the audience first, and then let the members introduce themselves one by one, asked a few symbolic questions, and then let them enter the venue.

Because he came early, most of the seats were still vacant. Wei Xiaolin led the members to sit awkwardly in their seats. After sitting for a while, people gradually came in, but they were all unfamiliar faces. On Wei Xiaolin's right hand side, he whispered, "Brother Xiao Lin, are all the people here at this time not as popular as us? When will we be able to come to such a big name?"

Bai Yang on Wei Xiaolin's left laughed, and joked in a low voice, "Don't worry, wait until Brother Xiao Lin becomes the host tonight, and when we come back next time, we may be able to postpone the entrance by an hour."

Wu Tang, who was sitting on the far side near the aisle, was as nervous as Ke Xing. He was a rapper who didn't talk much, even if he was nervous, he wouldn't say it. He just squeezed his mouth tightly, and the line of his jaw collapsed. It was very tight, and he hooked his chin and looked at the peers and seniors who came in one by one.

They looked like they were sitting in the sixth and seventh rows, and there were a few scattered people behind them. They didn't look like celebrities, and some of them had even set up the machines and were debugging them. Wu Tang looked around and whispered, "Our It's the last one."

Just as they were talking, the venue suddenly became lively, and they were very nervous. They thought that some big names came in and they wanted to get up and bow to say hello. Unexpectedly, a bustling girl group came in. They debuted at about the same time as them. Popularity's groping and testing stage.

Seeing a group that is not as popular as myself, a few people actually have a feeling of sympathy for each other, thinking that on a starry night, even those who are not popular have a companion, so I am not so nervous at all .

Afterwards, people continued to enter the arena, and the venue became noisy, and the empty seats in front of them were filled one by one.Seeing some celebrities that he had only seen on TV before, Wei Xiaolin still felt like he was in a dream and was in a daze, when his manager, his brother, came, and he greeted in a hurry: "Come on, you guys A few come with me, something went wrong with the originally scheduled opening dance, and I added an extra program for you, let’s prepare for the opening dance first.”

Wei Xiaolin suddenly felt nervous and excited.

Originally, they were invited to attend this time. In addition to him being the host, they also arranged a cross-show performance during the awards ceremony. It was already a surprise to show their faces.

However, Wei Xiaolin's surprise was quickly hit, and Ah Mai whispered to him beside him: "There is nothing unexpected about this kind of award ceremony, it can only be that there is a problem in the communication link. I will give you one more chance to squeeze out others. Now that it has been finalized, I can have one more opportunity to perform, so cherish it."
