Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chapter 285: The Boy Who Sets Out with a Dream 23

I secretly followed him out to pay the bill, avoiding everyone else, which also saved his face.

If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, try not to let others know your weaknesses and embarrassing moments. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that someone around you will not expose your affairs one day.

Just like what Xiao He and Xiao Na said at the table today, if you are a hopeless loser who can't make it out of the talent show, how can you still enter the base camp?! This is simply a foolish dream.

If others are willing to give you an opportunity, you should take it, but you can't rely on it as your only reliance.

An opportunity was given, but it is still unknown when the verbal promise can be fulfilled. Moreover, verbal promises have been the most difficult to fulfill since ancient times.

Maybe others just turn around and put the matter aside, and you are the only one still foolishly waiting for his joking promise.

Cheng Cheng hid in the dark and actually saw the furrowed brows on Wei Lang's face, knowing that what she had predicted might have come true.

Immediately, he stopped hiding and walked towards him.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties?" she asked him with concern.

Wei Lang saw her figure and hurriedly tightened the bill in his hand, saying to her: "It's nothing, go back and eat something."

"I'm already full, and you still want me to go back to eat?" Cheng Cheng glared at him coquettishly, then said, "I saw it all. What is that in your hand? Let me see."

"nothing……"

He said it was nothing while putting the hand holding the paper ball behind his back.

Seeing his little action, Cheng Cheng stopped questioning him and simply grabbed that hand with both hands and forcefully pried open his palm.

They saw a piece of paper that was crumpled like waste paper. When they opened it, it was clearly written what they had eaten and how much they had spent.

Not to mention Wei Lang, even she would feel the pain if she spent this money.

The average income per capita in this era is only a few hundred yuan. Such a bill can easily waste all the hard-earned money. It is really expensive.

What's more, Wei Lang needs to use his salary to pay off a debt every month, so the money he has on hand is not enough.

Cheng Cheng took out half of the money from her wallet and handed it to him, saying, "You pay first."

"I don't need your money. I agreed to treat you to a meal." Wei Lang's eyes were firm and he refused to use her money to pay the bill.

"Then tell me, who is the one who decided to eat here? It's me! According to this statement, I am also responsible. Wei Lang, don't push it, take it."

"No need, I'll think of a way. Give me some time and I'll definitely be able to come up with a solution."

"Don't even think about it. Who can you borrow this much money from so late at night? Now is not the time for you to act tough. Take it now. It will be bad if they see it later."

"...Okay, just think of it as me borrowing it from you. I'll pay you back later."

Cheng Cheng walked closer to him and said, "Do we need to be polite with each other?!"

"Let's put things one way or the other..." Wei Lang's ears turned red and he looked at her with clear eyes.

Cheng Cheng raised her eyelids and looked at him, "I'm going back to the private room first, come back after you pay."

"Ok!"

……

Thanks to her support, Wei Lang paid for the meal.

I also kept a record of this in my heart, and I owed her one more debt.

A few days have passed since the end of the talent show, and the Matthew effect it brought about is still continuing to ferment.

People are talking about Wei Lang at an all-time high, and many people have been influenced by him and like to listen to rock music.

Mainland singers also took advantage of the opportunity to release many rock works, but most of them were not as good as the songs he wrote and sang.

The program has replays, but you cannot choose to skip and directly watch the clips you want to watch. This means that if you want to see Wei Lang’s appearance, you need to watch the singing performance of the previous contestants.

For some viewers, this may be troublesome.

I didn’t find watching soap operas that difficult before, but now it’s really painful to watch talent shows but can’t wait for the contestants I want to see to appear.

Many people wanted to suggest that Wei Lang release an album as soon as possible. They would buy it no matter how expensive it was. They really didn’t want to watch the show over and over again.

Talent shows are like this in their entirety. With so many contestants to be recorded, it’s impossible to guarantee that everyone will get screen time. It’s considered good if they can get ten minutes of screen time in one episode.

Some contestants were eliminated early and their singing clips were not played in full. Only a short clip was left and then it was time for the judges to comment.

Therefore, there were really not many shots of Wei Lang in the early stage. Only when the contestants were gradually eliminated in the later stage of the competition and there were not many people left, the length of each person's screen time was not cut.

But at this time, it is not the audience who decides which episode to broadcast on TV; it depends on the arrangements of the TV station.

Relatively speaking, the replay rate of this episode of the final is slightly higher than that of the previous ones, and this decision is also made based on the statistical ratings.

But in order to take care of other losers and to prevent the audience from getting bored, the previous episodes will always be inserted.

The citizens of Ma'an can also write letters of suggestion to the station. Although they may not be adopted, there is still some hope.

It is difficult for fans from other places to do this, so more and more people are suggesting that Wei Lang release an album.

This also proves his strength, as the topic can remain popular even after the show ends.

Some companies saw the potential in Wei Lang and sent people to invite him to join the company.

Wei Lang has been busy these days meeting with various company managers, executives or scouts. Everyone speaks well of him and offers good treatment.

But each contract is different.

He only had a vague understanding of this area and often asked Chengcheng for advice.

Chengcheng helped him make a comparison, and his assistant also helped him to inquire about industry news.

After eliminating some small workshops and pimping companies, the contracts with two companies that offered relatively good conditions and were reliable were quickly finalized.

It’s not that these two companies don’t rip people off at all, but they are relatively more lenient than other contracts with high liquidated damages, unbalanced profit-sharing ratios and strict requirements.

Joining either of these two companies will have a certain impact on Wei Lang's career development.

After all, it is always unsafe to travel far away by yourself just after learning how to fly. It can be more secure if you have a company to accompany you.

If something goes wrong, there will be someone to help you discuss solutions and think for you, instead of fighting alone.

Cheng Cheng gave Wei Lang the right to choose, but did not recommend which one was better. He only kept two companies for him to choose from.

Wei Lang himself recalled the scene when the people sent by the two companies communicated with him, and he was still impressed.

Although one of the companies was not large in scale, the company manager met with him in person to get to know him, which showed him enough respect.
