Sinking into the Sea of ​​the Moon[Entertainment]

One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four...

It was already late at night, and the lights in the practice room on the ground floor of the dormitory were still on. Qiao Yiyue silently recited the beat, repeating the movements in "Fancy" over and over again in front of the mirror.

Although it is a girl group dance, it incorporates Jazz and Hiphop choreography. It is the most difficult of many repertoires in a performance. It is difficult for people without certain dance skills to complete the whole dance performance, but Qiao Yiyue in front of the mirror moves naturally and smoothly. , every connection point is transitioned smoothly and just right, even the turning over and jumping to the chest and crotch wave that stumbles teammates a lot during practice seems simple and unremarkable under her handling.

She danced over and over again, without even registering the movements in her mind, just repeating them unconsciously until she was exhausted.

After taking off and jumping again, she finally failed to hold back her movements, and her knees lightly hit the floor. As soon as she stopped her movements, the condensed breath dissipated, and real exhaustion followed. Feelings submerged her like a tide, she panted and supported the floor, trying to stand up, but found that her hands and feet were too soft to move.

Sweat dripped down the tip of her nose and landed on the floor, leaving deep stains. She stared at the mottled spots in a daze, and finally sat down, brushing away the wet bangs on her forehead, wandering her eyes in the empty city for a while, and finally Falling on himself in the mirror.

Without the cover of her bangs, her entire face was imprinted in the mirror without reservation. The palm-sized, standard oval face, fair complexion, high nose bridge, and the raised eyeliner outlined the eyes into fox eyes. Even when his face is expressionless, it is somewhat seductive, not to mention that after strenuous exercise, his eyes are covered with a layer of moisture, which makes him look even more coquettish.

It's a very pretty face.

Even a little too pretty - for her situation.

At this time, she seemed to be in a slum, with a bleak future, and she was incompatible with the glamorous appearance.

As soon as he stopped, those unsightly words flooded into his mind again, clamoring to tear her apart.

She stared at herself in the mirror with ecstasy, despite the ups and downs of her emotions, until the complicated thoughts settled down with the calmness of her breath, there was only endless blankness left in those black and white eyes.

In the reception room, she failed to read all the information. She only glanced at it briefly, and her mind was in a mess. I remember how I walked, and when I realized it, I was already in the practice room.

During the show, the practice was carried out in the building where the filming took place, because all their training processes needed to be recorded for editing. The room on the ground floor of the dormitory is exactly a spare room, but because there is a large mirror, some Trainees occasionally come over at night to check their movements in front of the mirror.

But today, because one performance has ended and the next round of dancing has not yet started, there is no one else here, so Qiao Yiyue was able to monopolize the practice room, quietly digesting those stormy emotions.

After exhausting her excess energy with dancing, she finally calmed down a little bit enough to muster up the courage to face the reality she was facing.

And the reality is—she's done.

Or rather, it's almost over.

As the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness, and the brighter the darker the shadow behind.In such a place where the entertainment industry gathers under colorful neon lights, it is inevitable to hide dirt and gossip.

When you become a star, you will be stared at all the time. What you do, say, or even a casual expression may be used by someone who cares about you to make a big fuss, and then spread it to ten, ten to hundreds, and in the end even if it has been Distorted so that it completely loses its original appearance, it will also be talked about by the public and become a topic of jokes after dinner.

Among them, the most popular thing is the sex news, who is having an affair with whom, and who is against whom. After so many years, the news carrier has developed from paper media to the Internet, but this kind of topic has always firmly occupied the most popular topic. .

No one really cares about the parties involved in the topic. Those men and women are just a symbol, a character in the story, an object that can be commented on and entertained.

There are many examples in the circle of rising careers but being ruined by negative news, but Qiao Yiyue never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

First of all, she is just a little-known little character with hundreds of fans, which is not as good as ordinary Internet celebrities, so she has neither the value nor the need to target her.

Secondly, she is careful enough in dealing with things. South Korea has very strict training for trainees. The training content not only includes singing and dancing training, but also covers all aspects of life. After returning to China, although she never got a good development opportunity, she still strictly followed those rules Rules and regulations, never have intimate contact with male artists on social platforms and public occasions.

The person in that photo is not her at all, but the hairstyle is the same as her hairstyle at that time. The marketing account put her photos of the same period on the side, and added many intersections between her and the male artist. People who don't know the truth can see It is natural to assume that they are the same person.

The male artist's name was Cheng Yi, and he was the captain of a tepid boy group.

At the beginning of last year, the two had collaborated in an online variety show. They said it was a collaboration, but in fact it was just a group of unpopular little idols who made a hodgepodge of singing and dancing.

After the end, most of the people in the work group added their own friends, which is also the practice in the circle.

There is no mature idol industry in China. The so-called trainees are actually called in talent shows. They are essentially small stars who have not made it to the top. They are no different from those idols who have debuted but are not popular. The situation is similar.

The work is nothing more than some evening parties, brand activities, crew tricks, web dramas that can't be named, and the like.

The circle is so big, and the work is so much. After this cooperation is over, maybe they will meet again when they turn around and catch a plane. Each has its own hardships and difficulties, so when expanding the social circle, they are not allowed to pick and choose. , for them, having more acquaintances means more connections.

After adding friends, she found out that Cheng Yi was still her senior. The two came from the same art middle school. However, Cheng Yi was two grades higher than her, and the two had never met in school. Qiao Yiyue went out after graduation. In China, I have less contact with my former classmates. After many years, when I meet alumni, it is inevitable that I will feel close to each other, so I exchanged a few more pleasantries, but that's all.

In her opinion, Cheng Yi is similar to other people in the circle she knows, calling her a "friend", but actually not communicating much.

But the other party had a different idea. He often chatted with her and even played a few games with her, his intentions were clear.

She has been beautiful since she was a child, and there has been an endless stream of suitors one after another, fans in the circle, outside the circle, fans waiting to take over, etc., men and women of all kinds, she has seen many people like Cheng Yi, two at a time The first time I was embarrassed to refuse, but if the number of times was too many, I would be perfunctory, but it was not easy to completely tear my face. The other party invited her several times and said that she didn't have time. When Cheng Yi was picked out of the circle, his girlfriend came to her again to talk about ambiguity After saying something unknown, she blocked him.

The two of them hadn't been in touch for more than a year. Who would have thought that there would be a scandal at this moment. The one who leaked the photo was Cheng Yi's fan. The person in question was Qiao Yiyue, and then the marketing account picked up the alumni relationship between the two, and posted some pictures of the same frame and screenshots of the two people's games together, accompanied by an embellished description. up.

As a result, like the demon concubine in the book, she instantly became the focus of verbal criticism, and her name was associated with a series of insults and curses.

If it is said that the group photo was a disgruntled fan who took the opportunity to spread rumors, then the subsequent series of fermented upgrades are fueled by someone. Even if she really had supper with Cheng Yi, it was a year ago. At that time It was not exposed, but it was revealed at the critical moment of her participation in the draft, and it was clearly aimed at her.

However, there are regulations in the program. During the recording period, trainees need to confiscate their mobile phones and are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, even if this is actually impossible——

After all, this is a variety show, which involves the effects of the show and the interests of various companies. It is impossible for the contestants to have no communication with the original company, but even so, at least the superficial skills must be sufficient.

This means that she shouldn't know this, so naturally she has no position to clarify for herself, and can only let the dirty water be poured on her head.

Usually when encountering this kind of negative news, the company needs to come forward for public relations, and her company...

Listening to the manager's tone, she seemed to intend to deal with it coldly. After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone, opened the address book, found a number and dialed it.

It was a special situation right now, so the program team temporarily returned the phone to her so that she could contact the company.

The person she is looking for is Zhou Shuli, a producer, whom she met last year when she was an outsider on the set. The other party saw that she was pretty and obedient, so he left her contact information, and has been taking good care of her ever since. , she was introduced a few months ago, and she was able to enter the current agency Aihui Culture Media Group, and thus obtained the qualifications for the draft.

Ai Hui is the leading brokerage company in the industry. It takes a high-end route. Its artists are small but excellent. They have made a lot of achievements in the fields of TV, film, and music. The company, but the traffic idol industry has been booming in the past few years. Any crooked idol can make the agency company it belongs to make a lot of money. Ai Hui also wants to get a piece of the pie, so "The Best" Once the planning of "My Idol" was finalized, Ai Hui began to look for candidates who could compete in the name of the company.

There is no shortage of young actors under the name of the company, but none who are good at singing and dancing. Just as Qiao Yiyue terminated the contract with his former company, he got on the line through Zhou Shuli.

But after all, there is no free banquet in the world, and Ai Hui is not doing charity. He only signed a short contract with her for one year, and talked with her openly and honestly when signing the contract. Only by performing well on the show can the contract be renewed. .

This is the opportunity she has been waiting for for a long time, she must seize it, and she also believes that with her own strength, she believes that she will be able to grab a debut position.

But now, she couldn't control her self-confidence anymore.

"Xiao Yue, it's so late, what's the matter?" Zhou Shuli quickly answered the phone. She had just finished filming a TV series and was on vacation in Hainan. Her voice was full of sleepiness, as if she was woken up by the phone in her sleep.

Zhou Shuli has a habit of shutting down all work mobile phone numbers when she is on vacation, and not watching any industry news, so as not to be disturbed, but at the beginning she left Qiao Yiyue with a private mobile phone number, so Qiao Yiyue was able to contact him at this time she.

She thought that Zhou Shuli probably didn't know yet, so she briefly explained the matter, and just after finishing speaking, she heard rustling voices over there, and then Zhou Shuli said "wait a moment" to her, and the microphone was covered , and then a vague conversation sounded over there, and she guessed that Zhou Shuli should be using another mobile phone to make a call.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Shuli's voice came again from over there, speaking a little hastily, with a bit of seriousness: "Xiao Yue, I've already asked, so don't worry. I'm still looking for someone to understand the specific situation. How about this, you record the show first, and I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"

Qiao Yiyue gave a soft "hmm", thought for a while and said: "Sister Shu Li, you have helped me a lot, I just, just want to know what's going on now, Sister Duan doesn't agree with anything I said, I have no idea." Sister Duan is her manager, Duan Xiaomei.

After she finished speaking, Zhou Shuli was silent for a while before sighing and said: "Xiao Yue, let me tell you the truth, the situation is very bad, and the best time for public relations has already been missed, and Ai Hui is not willing to live with you They also sent three other players there, and they will be more inclined to spend their investment on those few."

"Well... I see." Qiao Yiyue nodded, her fingertips were trembling slightly, but she still managed to stabilize her voice.

"However, Xiaoyue..." Zhou Shuli said again, "It's not yet concluded, I will inquire more, you have to work hard, you are the best among them, let them see the value of rewards, do you understand? "

"I understand." Qiao Yiyue said softly.

After hanging up the phone, she stared at the mirror again in a daze.

Zhou Shuli's words made sense, but she was actually not sure if she really understood.

She remembered the 27 votes again.

For what it's worth, can she really?
