After saving Meiqiang, I became popular all over the world

He Qichun was sitting on the sofa in the living room, facing Qiao Zhihuan.

He had already changed his clothes, but the embarrassment just now was still lingering in the air, they both started talking at the same time, seeing the opportunity for the other to speak, they fell silent at the same time.

Wei Lingsu and the profiteer secretly held back their laughter and didn't answer, only Little Fang looked at this and looked at that, with a look of incomprehension.

"Teacher, eat some fruit."

The glass bowl filled with tender peaches and apricots was placed on the table, making a crisp sound.Ye Cike put down the fruit and sat on the sofa next to Qiao Zhihuan.

He Qichun didn't dare to make eye contact with the two of them anymore, coughed lightly, and said like an old teacher: "Having a holiday doesn't mean you're completely relaxed. You can't throw away your usual routine. Have you practiced martial arts? Have you practiced writing?"

"Yes." Ye Cike replied.

Qiao Zhihuan was wronged, and nodded in agreement.

"Let me introduce." Ye Cike turned to everyone, "In fact, Mr. He is also my mother's teacher, and he can be regarded as half of my parents' matchmaker. At first, my mother didn't understand French, and it was Mr. He who discovered my father's letter. Translate for my mother. He is the witness of my parents' wedding and has known our family for decades."

Qiao Zhihuan nodded slowly. It turns out that there is such a layer of origin.

No wonder from the very beginning he felt that old Mr. He Qichun treated Ye Cike very differently, unlike ordinary teachers and students, but with a kind of strictness that can only be found in relatives.

"Teacher, is there something for this visit?" Ye Cike asked.

Seeing that he was serious, Mr. He Qichun also started to work, and talked about the current situation with Ye Cike: "Rêver's preliminary investigation results came out, and there is indeed a problem with the number of public votes. Now Rêver has formally filed a lawsuit, demanding compensation from Big Orange. , In view of the commercial disputes between the two major organizers, the recording is temporarily suspended, and the date of resumption is uncertain. The investigation of intellectual property rights cannot be pushed forward, at least you have won a preliminary victory in this regard."

Everyone's expressions relaxed a little.

He Qichun shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "At that time, Ci Ke and Dacheng reached an agreement that as long as he came to the talent show, Dacheng would not sign newcomers from Jingyi for at least three years. Ye Xinyi and I were quite opposed to it. Naive, hitting a stone with an egg. Now it seems..."

He Qichun glanced around kindly: "I've lived for five or sixty years, and I'm not as brave as you young men."

"After the recording of the show, I kept thinking, Lian Cike went all out and brought all the evidence to negotiate with Da Cheng. After Xin Yi and I found out, not only did we not support him, but also lost our temper at him. Later, there will be you." He Qichun watched steadily Qiao Zhihuan, "You dare to stand up and speak out for the safety of the students. Faced with so many media by yourself, you will not lose the slightest bit. The program team invited me to be a mentor. Who knows, I was taught a lesson instead."

Ye Cike hurriedly said: "Mr. He, you are being serious."

He Qichun raised his hand to stop Ye Cike's words: "That's the truth."

"A few years ago, when the higher-ups wanted to parachute Duan Daqing down, I should have protested vigorously. He wanted to join hands with Dacheng, sign our dancers, use some kind of capital to discuss cooperation, and bring in the smoky atmosphere...in this, I originally There are countless nodes that can fight, but I chose to remain silent."

"Things have developed into what they are today, and Jingyi has been ruined as it is now. A large reason is due to my connivance and acquiescence."

"Mr. He." Wei Ling said soothingly, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, as long as the overall situation is improving."

He Qichun shook his head slowly: "Do you know why Da Cheng can't push this matter?"

Qiao Zhihuan guessed: "Whether it is the infringement of intellectual property rights or the number of program votes, the investigation will take a period, right?"

"No." He Qichun said, "You guys, no matter how big the public opinion is, if there is no way to go to the next level, there is still nothing you can do about them. Without the business foundation of Big Orange. You lack an upward path.”

The crowd fell silent for a while.

This is the difficulty of the confrontation between individuals and capital. Capital turns its hands into clouds and hands into rain. The truth and original appeals are easily distorted. These fallacies will be turned into information cocoons. In the end, only the inexplicable will be hurt. personal challenger.

He Qichun said slowly: "You shouldn't have to shoulder this matter yourself."

Ye Cike heard Mr. He's plan, he obviously wanted to get involved.

Mr. He is already in the stage of honorable retirement, and his health is not very good. Ye Cike really doesn't want him to go into this troubled water.

"Old He..."

He Qichun raised his hand to stop it: "Hey, needless to say, it's time for me to revert back to my old age and learn from your drive."

Seeing that Ye Cike wanted to persuade him again, He Qichun took out a stack of thin documents from his bag: "You really want to go to the front with the old man, don't get involved in this matter, you should go to the battlefield that really belongs to you."

A few sheets of paper were pushed to the middle of the table. The document was written in Chinese, English and French, and the bold font on the header was particularly eye-catching: WCDG, World Classical Dance Champion Cup.

Qiao Zhihuan had heard of this dance competition before. Duan Daqing, the vice president of the art association, wanted to invite him to participate, but he had to sign a contract with Jingyi as a condition. Declined the matter.

"WCDG has always had a lot of money in the industry, and this year is the first year that Chinese classical dance has been selected for the competition. The above means that we must strive for places, and it is best to sprint for medals. After discussing with the Art Association, we think that large-scale dance dramas are important to culture. The show is stronger, so let the chiefs give priority to multi-person dance dramas, and we still have a vacancy for solo dance."

He Qichun said earnestly: "I still have the old opinion. The better the dancer and the stronger the ability, the more he should stand on the big stage and compete with the top and best dancers. An excellent dancer not only represents an individual, but also It should represent his dance genre and his country. You guys, think about it."

He kept looking at Qiao Zhihuan while he was talking, and it was not that Qiao Zhihuan could not understand.

He wants to play, but he doesn't really want to sign.

After signing the contract, he is equivalent to belonging to the Art Association. What he can do, what he should do, and where he will be transferred in the future will be hindered everywhere.Now that he has decided to stay, he doesn't want to repeat the old way, and wants to live a more thorough and free-spirited life.

Qiao Zhihuan didn't make a clear statement. After reading the registration invitation letter carefully, he found that there was a place where the description was not detailed: "Mr. He, I have a question. Is there no limit to the number of projects that a single person can apply for?"

"How many more do you want to submit?" He Qichun glanced at him from the top of the frame, extremely surprised, "Qiao Zhihuan, this is a world-class dance competition, and all of them are selected by the country. They have won countless awards in their own fields. It’s quite intense, and it’s not easy to prepare a project carefully.”

"Moreover, this competition is held every three years, and this year is the 26th. In the entire 78-year history of the competition, even if there are multiple events registered, no dancer has won two awards at the same time. Never. There are no dancers at the level of Anna, Edward, and Anthony."

He is talking about several world-class ballet dancers leading the times, one is the No. 1 revival of classical dance, one is recorded in the history of dance, and the other is now a tenured professor of major dance schools, all of them are quite powerful dancers .

Qiao Zhihuan: "In other words, there is actually no restriction on registration, right? If I apply for a solo dance, can I still apply for a duet dance?"

"You still want to apply for a couple?" He Qichun was completely shocked. "The preliminaries will start in September. Now, where are you going to find a new dance partner?"

"No, you don't need to find a new one." Qiao Zhi smiled happily, "I will compete with Mr. Ye, and he will be my dance partner."

He Qichun opened his mouth and choked for a rare moment. After a while, he frowned and said, "Nonsense!"

"You know that Ci Ke is a modern dancer, right? Besides, the difficulty of pairing Chinese dances with men and women is not at the same level at all!"

Chinese pas de deux is more for men and women, which is the same as ballet, mainly because of the difficulty limit.

After all, the difficulty of lifting a man is completely different from that of a woman, and women are generally more soft, and can complete more exquisite technical movements in a short period of time. Male dancers are limited by their bodies, so they will naturally suffer in terms of completion.

"Once you stand on this stage, you represent a dance genre and a country."

He Qichun's face was already a little sullen: "The quota is precious, if you treat it like a joke, you might as well give the quota to someone who is more down-to-earth!"

"Mr. He, I misunderstood." Seeing that he misunderstood, Qiao Zhihuan hurriedly explained, "Ms. Ye and I get along very well, and we have a good understanding. He is the most suitable choice. As for the type of dance, there is still more than half a month before the competition. I believe it." Teacher Ye can grind it out."

"Your special trip here is also a recognition of my ability. I will work hard and not disappoint your expectations." Qiao Zhihuan said sincerely.

"Mr. He, you have watched the draft all the way. You know what kind of character Huanhuan is." Ye Cike followed suit, "None of the suggestions he dared to make was empty talk. I trust Qiao Zhihuan's judgment on this matter. Besides , He is indeed a top dancer now, and he is very irreplaceable in solo events, please think again, old man."

In fact, He Qichun knew in his heart that, not to mention Jingyi, he just pulled out all the young dancers in the country. There were only a handful of people with Qiao Zhihuan's talent and maintained this level of effort.

He made a special trip to Switzerland because he has been in the industry for decades and has seen countless dancers. According to his standards, Qiao Zhihuan's level is top-notch and his performance is stable. He is a typical contestant.

"Okay." He Qichun's attitude was relaxed, "I'll trust you for a while, you can apply for solo dance and duet dance at the same time. But I said in advance that I will focus on the solo dance. After all, this award has the most important content and attention. Highest."

Qiao Zhihuan nodded: "Okay."

"One more thing." He changed the topic and asked, "If I participate in the competition, can I not sign a contract with Jingyi?"

"I don't have any objections to the association, and I am willing to cooperate with the association's work arrangements during the competition, but after the competition, I still want to be an independent dancer and plan my own life."

He Qichun paused: "In the past, I would have rejected you decisively. But now the association is full of smog, and it's not a good place. Before it changes, don't come if you don't come."

"However, I can't answer you personally on this matter, and I have to ask the competent authority for advice. You should prepare for the competition normally first, and then go through the internal selection first."

Qiao Zhihuan nodded: "Okay."

After deciding to compete, Qiao Zhihuan quickly entered the intensive training period, just when Stardiv invited him to Paris, the five of them planned to set off from Switzerland together and transfer directly to Paris.

On the day of departure, Ali Jie prepared a lot of food, hugged everyone one by one at the entrance, and said with a smile that she must take good care of her body. She looked smiling and not sad at all.

However, after walking into the platform, Qiao Zhihuan turned around suddenly, only to find that A Lijie was still standing there, secretly wiping tears.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Cike followed his line of sight, and after noticing Ali Jie's movement, he unconsciously clenched his shoulders, "Leaving home temporarily, even if it's a good thing, the family still doesn't want to part with it."

"...Ms. Ye, let's come back to see Matthew and Ali Jie after the game." Qiao Zhihuan looked up at him, "Bring Aunt Xin Yi along."

As if he didn't expect him to say that, Ye Cike was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Okay."

Paris is not far away. After leaving Charles de Gaulle Airport, everyone went straight to Wei Lingsu's apartment.

"...Vee, is this considered a 'small' apartment?"

After entering the door, Little Fang turned around in shock.

Five-bedroom, there are only two living rooms, beautifully decorated, and a soundproof piano room. You can overlook the lead gray roofs of Paris by opening the window. The location is quite good. The Niet Opera House is only three blocks away.

"There is Matthew's cabin in the front, and Susu's small apartment in the back." The profiteer entered the door dragging his luggage, "Evil capitalism."

Qiao Zhihuan glanced around: "No, I really thought it was an ordinary apartment. I didn't expect this place to be so good. We can't live here for nothing."

"It's not for nothing." Wei Ling said, "Life is very happy when you are here, and happiness is the most precious thing."

"..." The profiteer's face was broken.

"I don't agree with living in vain either." Ye Cike echoed, "This is not another issue, but that people should be rewarded for their work, otherwise it will be unreasonable."

But Wei Ling said that he didn't want everyone's rent. Qiao Zhihuan couldn't help it, so he came up with another idea: "Since we plan to work together for a long time in the future, why not build a mutual fund, the five of us will contribute together, and the income will go into the fund proportionally in the future." , There are common expenses that can also be transferred from it, including rent."

"This is pretty good." It is rare for a profiteer to say something humane. "Setting up a mutual fund also feels like starting a business together, like a team."

Little Fang nodded: "I think so too! I'll give it first. Although I paid a lot of money to terminate the contract with the original company, I can get something out of it!"

After Little Fang transferred the money, everyone followed suit, and the small fund of five people was formally established. And because Wei Lingsu is a master of financial mathematics, he naturally became everyone's "God of Wealth", managing accounts.

The God of Wealth is very reliable. He rented a practice room at the Opera Garnier that afternoon for Qiao Zhihuan and Ye Cike to practice dancing.

The rest stayed in the apartment to write songs, and at night, the five of them gathered to practice the band together. From time to time, Qiao Zhihuan had to cooperate with Stardiv's itinerary. Everyone's schedule was quite busy.

——How busy are you?

The Louvre, Tuileries Garden, and Orsay Museum are actually within walking distance of the apartment, but their schedules are too tight, and they don’t even have time to take a look.

Once I get busy, the days go by very quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the summer leaves turn yellow, and the cool breeze rises suddenly in the morning and evening, and the time enters the end of August.

It was rare for Qiao Zhihuan not to go to practice today, but took a car to the Luxembourg Gardens several kilometers away.

The central avenue has been surrounded by a huge set board. Outside the set board, there are huge crowds of people. The media gathers at the entrance. Luxury cars stop constantly.

On the glass exterior wall, there is a string of English words written in artistic fonts, "Stardiv Summer 2023". Obviously, the setting is the scene of the Stardiv brand's spring and summer conference next year.

When he got out of the car, he was caught off guard and met the eyes of the person at the top of the steps at the door.

Peng Qiang, the vice president of Big Orange Entertainment, had his hair combed bald, dressed like a dog, surrounded by staff and media, and seemed completely unaffected by intellectual property disputes and falsified votes.

Across the crowd, Peng Qiang pointed his thumb back, and Qiao Zhihuan followed him to look over. On the outer wall, under the words "StardivSummer2023", behind the logos of IXTV, XBC and other national media, followed by the logo of Big Orange Entertainment .

The meaning was very clear. No matter how hard Qiao Zhihuan struggled, Big Orange's influence was still at its peak.

Peng Qiang glanced at Qiao Zhihuan sarcastically, smiled, and walked away.

It seems that Mr. He is right. No matter how controversial the public opinion is, as long as the business foundation of Big Orange is not touched, the cancer will only come back and grow bigger and bigger.

"Mr. Joe?" a person next to him asked in French.

This person's appearance is not only decent, but even delicate.

Qiao Zhihuan scanned for a week, and his eyes stopped on his Stardiv badge: "Yes, I am."

"Great, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The man hastily bowed to lead the way, "Please go this way."

Qiao Zhihuan was dressed in a suit, followed the direction he pointed, and entered the side door with his head slightly lowered.

Click, this scene was completely frozen.

This photo was cloud-transferred to the mobile phone, and the owner of the mobile phone immediately posted it on Weibo with the caption: "Guess who I met at the Stardiv spring and summer conference!"

The owner of Weibo is an insider in the fashion industry. He usually focuses on his personal life and doesn't do much content management. He doesn't have many fans, only about two thousand, and the interaction is also in single digits.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this message was posted, his Weibo new message prompt immediately changed to two digits, and then changed to four digits within 1 minute. Within 3 minutes, the excessive messages were so stuck that he couldn't even open Weibo. up.

The owner of the Weibo was irritated, when suddenly he heard a colleague around him exclaim in surprise: "Peng Peng, you...you are on the trending search!"

The colleague tipped the phone over, and sure enough, he landed hot eight in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed forward two or three places.

Clicking on it, it turned out that the photo was to blame. As soon as the photo was sent out, it was forwarded by the beauty makeup artist who followed the big show. It took so long, and the comments had already exceeded [-]. The discussion below was "It's Qiao Zhihuan, right?" ?”

"Sister Pai has turned around, this must be Huanhuan!"

"The Missing Person Returns!!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!.

However, there were also discordant voices asking, "Why did Qiao Zhihuan appear on Stardiv? Does he have a work, or something?"

"Isn't this the student who blackmailed Big Orange some time ago because of the unfair distribution of the money with the program crew?"

"Why do you go through the back door when you come to the show? You don't even qualify for the red carpet?"

The comment area was too malicious, and many people couldn't help commenting: "Qiao Zhihuan, whose masterpiece "Awakening" was praised by the central media, dared to jump into the sea to help save the students, and led all the students of "Made in the Stars" to work hard together. A brilliant artist."

"What's wrong with the spiritual capitalists? The news of the big orange investigation team's presence is still on the hot search!"

"Cold knowledge: Qiao Zhihuan is the spokesperson of StardivBeauty, and it's quite normal to come to the parent group's press conference."

"Huanhuan was invited to watch the show, right?"

"Laughing to death, and even invited to watch the show, I have everything in my dream."

"I don't even look at who the guests of Stardiv invite. The first-line Xiaohua Xiaosheng can't do it. Only the big flowers with awards in hand have hope."

"Hot knowledge: StardivBeauty is completely different from Stardiv. No matter how high-end StardivBeauty is, it is still a beauty brand. And Stardiv, a blue-blooded, high-end, century-old first-line brand, your Qiao Zhihuan is not even worthy of visiting the red carpet!"

"Stop discussing such boring topics, let's bet on who will open this year's big show! I'll bet on supermodel Kate!"

"I bet on this year's popular model Dan!"

"Maybe it's the newly signed mysterious spokesperson."

At this moment, the countdown to the start of the live broadcast stopped, and the screen turned into pitch black, leaving the audience confused, "Am I stuck?"

"This is not a still picture."

"Is it all black? I thought my computer was broken."

"Laughing to death, maybe the workers on the site went on strike temporarily, after all, the characteristics of the law."

The people at the Stardiv show also had the same doubts.

The venue for this big show surrounded the main avenue and the pool of the Luxembourg Gardens, and set up a super-large set shed. There were no windows in the shed, and it was already dark. After all the light sources in the seating area were turned off, it was impossible to see anything clearly.

People in the show couldn't help whispering and talking, not knowing if something went wrong or what.

The side light suddenly hit, and the cold light outlined an extremely graceful silhouette.

how can that be!

The audience was all shocked. You know, there is a small pool in the center of the venue. This person can't be standing on the water!

Soon no one thought about these details, the silhouette in front of him was so beautiful, it could be said to be breathtaking!

He bowed his head, his neck and shoulders were folded into an elegant shape, wrapped in a black feather cloak, and the crown on his head was a ruinous black.

Just a silhouette is deadly and bewitching, like a black swan before dying!

The scene was almost suffocated by the extremely impactful aesthetic feeling, and the live barrage screamed crazily.

Suddenly, a barrage attracted everyone's attention: "This height, this curly hair, and outline, this... this seems to be Qiao Zhihuan!"

"Dream again."

"How could someone at Stardiv's level invite Qiao Zhihuan?"

"In front, do you know what is the weight of the opening of the big show?"

The light gradually brightened, and the moment he saw the man's face clearly, the barrage fell silent for three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, all the bullet screens instantly turned into "Damn!!!", "Qiao Zhihuan!!!"
