Sinking into the Sea of the Moon[Entertainment]
Chapter 19 Sisyphus
As if the old things were repeating itself, after the recording was over, Qiao Yiyue stayed alone in the dressing room for a long time, until the whole building fell silent, then she seemed to be recovering, slowly packed her bags and walked out.
It was already very late, and the filming team that usually waited outside had dispersed, and even her unshakable fan who squatted every day had left, probably because she had waited for a long time and couldn't see her, so she thought she had left first.
This is what she wanted, and now, she really doesn't know how to face the earnest eyes of that fan. She is a petite girl, holding a heavy camera, and she has to trot from time to time in order to keep up with her. After a few steps, sometimes I feel very tired, but when I see her, I will immediately become energized and my eyes will light up——
Even if the other people who were filming together at the beginning have left and are left alone, there is still hope in my heart.
Every day in the past, Qiao Yiyue tried his best to meet the fans' hopes.But now, she didn't know if she was still qualified to have hope.
She thought of the glaring numbers on the screen when the ranking was released for the first time, and also thought of the bold black letters on the card not long ago.
So far, a total of two evaluation results have been released, and each time is her Good Friday.Even if she has minimized her expectations in advance, reality can still give her new disappointments.
She was trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion, and she was entangled in black material, but she couldn't even apply for the basic publicity fee.
At the same time, Zhuang Chutang from the same company became one of the seven best candidates for the theme song selection, and will soon take center stage.No matter how stupid she is, she doesn't understand what this means to her.
Different from other group combinations in the entertainment industry, although the seven-member group finally selected in this draft will be managed by KIWI Entertainment, the seven members originally had their respective agency companies, so the distribution of interests involved is far more than ordinary The group is more complicated, and the ranking is determined not only by the strength of the players, but also by the investment of each original company and the resource replacement of the group operating company. In order to maximize the benefits, the group operating company will try to allocate the debut positions to different brokerage companies. So under normal circumstances, a brokerage company can only get one debut position.
Similarly, in order to maximize profits, various brokerage companies often choose one of the players sent to the competition as the key training target. After all, when there is a high probability that they can only compete for one debut position, it is undoubtedly huge to invest in everyone equally. waste.
Qiao Yiyue may not really understand the twists and turns between these companies, but at least he knows that according to the past practice, a company will only protect one person.
Of course, it is not without precedent that a brokerage company has won multiple debut positions. In a men's team draft last year, among the eleven debut positions, Xie Ruo'an's Star Entertainment won three, but such cases are rare , the players themselves are strong, the company's marketing is in place, and other companies are weak in the same period. Competitiveness and other factors are indispensable. Ai Huichu was involved in the traffic idol industry and has no relevant business experience. The competitiveness is not great, let alone multiple debut positions Now, grabbing one is enough, so the wisest thing to do is to concentrate all your investment on one person.
Judging from the rating results of the theme song, the project leader of Aihui has indeed adopted this approach, and has selected key investment targets.
They chose Zhuang Chutang.
——This choice is equivalent to giving Qiao Yiyue a death sentence in advance.
If it was one of the other two, then Qiao Yiyue felt that he probably still had a little room to fight, because those two players, like her, signed a temporary contract, and Ai Hui had no early investment in them, even if the temporary focus If the situation changes, they will immediately abandon it, just like they did to Qiao Yiyue before.
But Zhuang Chutang is different. Zhuang Chutang has long been an official artist under Ai Hui's banner. She naturally has the priority to choose the relevant resources that the company can provide.
In fact, artists like Zhuang Chutang who have graduated from majors and have a tailor-made development route, most of them participate in the draft just to make a face. Qiao Yiyue has not paid much attention to her before because of this consideration.
There is no mature idol industry in China. If idols want to develop in the long run, they must transform. They must either become singers or actors. Therefore, it is better to become an actor directly than to become an idol when they debuted in a talent show.
Qiao Yiyue didn't know why the company chose Zhuang Chutang. She only knew that it must be the result of careful consideration. Once it started, it would not end easily.
Before, the company just let her fend for itself, but now, it almost kicked her away.
She thought that if she worked hard, things would turn around, but the situation got worse. She stared blankly at her own shadow on the ground, and suddenly remembered the story of Sisyphus.
That was the story she heard from her mother when she was a child. Her mother was a history teacher who liked to tell various legends and stories to lull her to sleep. Sisyphus was one of the few names that left a deep impression on her.
King Sisyphus of Corinth offended the gods and was banished to hell. The gods punished him for pushing a boulder from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and told him: "When you push this stone down the cliff at the top of the mountain, you can leave." Here." It took Sisyphus a day to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, but when the boulder reached the highest point, it immediately rolled down the same road and rolled back to the bottom of the mountain. Sisyphus could only push the boulder up to the top of the mountain day after day, repeating it endlessly.
The reason why she remembers it so well is because she thinks that Sisyphus is really miserable, and secondly, she really can’t understand why Sisyphus still pushed the boulder up to the top of the mountain. Since it will definitely roll back, why should he do it? ?
Until now, she has only vaguely realized the reality contained in this story, she doesn't understand it very well, and she can't analyze any deep thoughts, but it is enough to taste the heaviness.
For her childhood dream, she suffered a lot, put in a lot of sweat, and looked for opportunities again and again, without being discouraged or giving up, but these efforts added up to be as heavy as a mountain, because a blurry photo, a Unwarranted rumors and lies fabricated by some loopholes were easily erased in the blink of an eye by the company.
Isn't this Sisyphus?
The shadow on the ground became longer and shorter under the street lamp with slow steps, and finally disappeared completely in the light, and her eyes lost focus. .
I don't know what happened, but the dormitory today seems to be extremely lively, and you can hear the noise without entering the door. When she passed the lobby, she found that the lounge on one side was full of people, three or five groups, eagerly discussing something .
A friend of hers was sitting near the door. Seeing her, she waved to her and told her to come over. Her face was full of excitement, and she was eager to share the secret with her. She hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head and stood still. walked away.
At this time, she thought that she should not be in the mood to smile, and it would be very difficult just to keep her face as usual.
When she arrived at the door of the dormitory, she was about to take out the key card, but found that the door was ajar. It should be the last person who entered the room and forgot to close the door. There is something wrong with the access control of their dormitory. This happened several times. She held the door Just as he was about to go in, he heard Cai Shuyu's name in the sporadic voices floating in the room the next second, and his movements stopped immediately.
"She's so lucky." It was the voice of Zhang Che, one of the twins, "It's even rarer than winning 500 million."
"Once this happens, she can earn more than 500 million yuan." Wang Zhewei's tone was full of envy.
"Who would have thought that, when I saw it just now, I thought it must be a fake." Zhang Che sighed, "This is a complete reversal. I thought she was completely screwed before. She didn't dance well, and her singing was just like that. , It doesn't look like it can turn over."
"Damn, what's the use of singing and dancing?" Wang Zhewei smiled, "Look at Qiao Yiyue, isn't he good enough? Isn't he being suppressed? Zhuang Chutang in their company looks like he's at odds with Cai Shuyu , but got an A."
Qiao Yiyue's hand clenched tightly, and then slowly let go of the doorknob, intending to knock on the door twice first, so as to remind the people in the room to stop in time, so as to avoid embarrassment for everyone who went in directly.
At the same time as she knocked on the door, the voice of Zhang Qing, the other twin, reached her ears, mixed with a few short laughs.
"Then who told Qiao Yiyue not to pay attention to himself, and ran to date that kind of person, and didn't wear a hat to block it."
The hand bounced away like an electric shock, and for a moment, Qiao Yiyue felt that the blood all over his body seemed to rush to his forehead, his eyes were darkened, his ears were buzzing, and the temperature in other parts of his body disappeared, it was frighteningly cold.
Why?why?Why does she have to suffer this?
A voice kept asking in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out, so she could only clenched her hands in vain until her fingertips sank into her palms, and then bit her lips violently after the nonchalant conversation sounded again. Force yourself to walk away from this door.
Every step was very difficult, my feet seemed to be wrapped in chains, and they were frighteningly heavy. When I barely lifted a little, I hit the ground heavily.
Suddenly, she heard someone in the dormitory asking "Who is it?" In the next second, before her mind could react, she was already running wildly in the corridor.
"Who, running in the middle of the night." Wang Zhewei heard the sound of footsteps, and went out to look around. He didn't see half of the figure in the aisle, muttered "strange", and went back to the house, closing the door by the way up.
After returning home, she continued to chat with the twins, because Qiao Yiyue was not around, and they chatted recklessly.
But not long after, there was another knocking sound, this time it was knocking on the door. She thought it was someone playing a prank, cursed irritably, and rushed to open the door angrily, only to find Cai Shuyu outside the door.
Cai Shuyu held a cup of milk tea in his hand, and held a paper bag in his arms. He looked around the room and asked kindly, "Hello, do you know where Qiao Yiyue has gone?"
"No, I don't know, she hasn't come back yet." One of the parties involved in the discussion suddenly appeared in front of him and asked the whereabouts of the second party, Wang Zhewei suddenly felt guilty.
"That's it, then I'll go and ask elsewhere." Cai Shuyu nodded, looking very well-behaved, but before leaving, he seemed to remember something, and said with a half-smile, "Actually, I haven't seen her so late. , I was worried about what happened to her at first, but seeing you chatting so happily, I think she must be fine, so I can rest assured."
After she finished speaking, she left the three of them whose faces changed in vain, and walked away.
It was already very late, and the filming team that usually waited outside had dispersed, and even her unshakable fan who squatted every day had left, probably because she had waited for a long time and couldn't see her, so she thought she had left first.
