It took six hours to get from Donghai to Shanghai. The green train, which I hadn't taken for a long time, slowly traveled along the quiet suburban roads.

Ying Ting took a train from the train station to Hongqiaokou, near Jiaxing Media Building.

I found the hotel that the other party booked for me, and after swiping my ID card at the front desk, I was guided into the room by the waiter.

All in all, I will have to stay in Shanghai for nearly half a month.

Different from other artists who have company backgrounds and participated in the program, she had no assistant or company endorsement, so she could only carry her luggage and come to Shanghai in person to sign the contract with Jiaxing.

After putting away her luggage, she pulled out the room card and closed the door of the hotel room. She wore a sun hat and sunglasses, a white cloth bag on her waist, and her clothes were simple and plain, but the girl was indeed born to be a clothes hanger.

From a distance, it looks very elegant, but not luxurious, adding a touch of elegance and generosity.

The hotel is very close to the Media Building, about a five-minute walk away.

Ying Ting also took the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Shanghai in 2006. It is indeed worthy of being the Magic City of the future.

The downstairs of Jiaxing Media Building was filled with cars of various brands, countless cameras and spotlights were placed in the company's lobby, and a bright red carpet was laid out on the road.

The security personnel have long been accustomed to it. As long as it does not affect the management, these entertainment reporters can arrest the artists however they want. The more harshly they arrest the artists, the more popular they appear.

"Ms. Xu, you are taking on the role of the star promoter for Tomorrow's Star this time. Don't you feel burdened?"

"By the way, in the Chinese music industry, you are only a newcomer who has only been in the industry for two and a half years. Are you able to be compared with those singers who have been famous for a long time?"

"Or do you have someone pushing you behind the scenes? Or do your fans all think you have reached such a high level?"

The woman surrounded by reporters was beautiful and elegant like a bunch of pure lilies. She was none other than Xu Xiaoya, a former member of Century and a very popular star in the entertainment circle.

She lowered her head, looking a little shy, and always had a kind of fragile feeling of a girl next door.

"Yes, I am flattered to be invited to be the star promoter for the third season. I understand that I am far from being qualified to compete with my predecessors in the Chinese music scene..."

This was a very well-spoken statement. She did not deny the media's view that she had little experience. On the contrary, she accepted it humbly and then put forward her own explanation.

Ying Ting looked inconspicuous behind the crowd, and after hearing what her former teammate Xu Xiaoya said, she had to admit that the other party was really capable of having the current traffic.

But, there are only two.

Ying Ting took off her sunglasses and hat and stood behind the crowd.

He smiled at the "princess" who was surrounded by the crowd, put on his sunglasses again and walked towards the small door beside the crowd.

Xu Xiaoya's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, except that she frowned slightly and no longer wanted to answer the reporters' questions.

Why is she here?

The media all thought she was thinking, so they didn't notice anything unusual.

It seemed that he noticed that Xu Xiaoya had suddenly become abnormal.

"Okay, our Xiaoya, it's time for you to go in, let's all go." Lou Yixuan pinched his throat with his fingers pinched, and cleared the place and started to drive people away.

Xu Xiaoya nodded, turned and left.

After Ying Ting entered from the side door, she saw three middle-aged men with good temperaments, accompanied by their agents and assistants. Zhang Liansong also talked to them enthusiastically, appearing particularly friendly.

After Ying Ting went over, they were stunned at first.

Fortunately, before coming, the girl had done her homework and took off her sun hat and sunglasses, revealing her pure and pretty face, and her smile with shallow dimples was intoxicating.

Ying Ting was very well-behaved and generous. She called out the names of all the important people present and greeted them. She was not at all stage-shy or shy.

Zhang Songlian nodded secretly, thinking that this girl finally knew some rules.

Hua Zixi and Lin Yu, two veterans in the Chinese entertainment industry, thought that the other party was just a trainee of Jiaxing, and nodded slightly in response.

Xu Huafang, a well-known original singer in China, recognized Ying Ting, who has recently become popular on the Internet. He smiled and said, "How come you are also a star promoter?"

Just at this moment, Xu Xiaoya walked in slowly with her agent.

"I know that I have little experience, and I came here with a learning attitude. Please don't tease me anymore, Brother Xu." Ying Ting said with a smile.

When these words fell into Xu Xiaoya's ears, it felt like needles pricking her ears.

She glanced indifferently at Ying Ting beside her, as if the girl was air and passed by her directly.

Zhang Songlian touched his assistant's shoulder calmly, and the latter understood and walked straight towards Ying Ting.

"Let's go, Miss Ying Ting, I'll take you to sign the contract." The assistant spoke respectfully and did not ignore Ying Ting just because of her awkward current identity.

Seeing that Zhang Songlian had already started leading the third season's star promoters to the exclusive office to discuss the main points of the program, Ying Ting was very sensible and followed the assistant out.

……

After arriving at the director's office, Zhang Songlian asked the four star promoters to sit down. The secretary brought four cups of tea and slowly stepped back to quietly close the door.

"The first reason I called everyone here is because it's an old tradition of our show. Star promoters need to strengthen their relationships. Let's go to the Peace Hotel tonight and I'll host you. We can chat about work and any song promotions you have."

Zhang Songlian stated his request directly without any ambiguity.

"In addition, for the sake of the show's viewing experience, I also need the cooperation of all the star promoters and mentors."

In order to maintain the viewing experience of the program, we need your cooperation.

This sentence is quite meaningful.

Hua Zixi, Lin Yu and Xu Huafang all seemed to not take it seriously. Having debuted for nearly twenty years, they are past the time to prove themselves with their works. All they need now is exposure to promote their concerts.

Let their former fans know that they have not retired yet, in exchange for more commercial value.

Xu Xiaoya was somewhat touched as her new single album will be released soon.

If he could get in touch with the seniors around him and serve as the program's star promoter and be officially announced, he might very well win the first Golden Melody Award in his life.

Just when he was about to hold Zhang Songlian accountable for the matter concerning Ying Ting, he was suppressed by her.

Zhang Songlian saw all the changes in Xu Xiaoya's expressions.

As an old hand who has been dealing with artists for many years, he is quite good at understanding the psychological state of these artists.

…………

I followed the assistant to the administration department, took the freshly printed contract and handed it to Ying Ting, saying with a smile, "Ms. Ying, please take a look at the contract. By the way, I'll tell you something."

"Because the sponsor wants to recover the funds quickly and the publicity effect must be seen as soon as possible, we have shortened the third season. We promised you that the three seasons will be changed to two seasons, but the price will increase by 10,000."

Ying Ting just smiled slightly and readily signed her name and pressed her fingerprint.

"I am very satisfied with this. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

There is no way, the situation is stronger than people.

Now she is counting on the rising star to save her life.

Seeing the girl signed the contract without saying a word, the assistant couldn't help but sigh. If it was either Century's Xu Xiaoya or Wu Yifan, they would definitely tear up the contract and leave without saying a word.

"By the way, can I borrow Jiaxing's music room before the show recording?" Ying Ting asked with a smile.

Before the assistant could speak, the staff accompanying him spoke up in a very decisive tone.

"No, the music room needs to be adjusted during the day, and there's no one in the company at night. I remember there's a Langli Taosha KTV not far away, you can go there and take a look."

If the sponsor was forced to modify the contract just now, it would be purely mischief now.

The assistant glared at the staff member who started talking nonsense.

They knew Ying Ting's background clearly. She had no company and no background. The rent of an ordinary music room for one night was at least 500 yuan, which was not as good as a professional one, not to mention a KTV for self-entertainment.

It’s already “overbearing” enough that Jiaxing signed the contract privately. If even this request is rejected, how can they survive in the circle in the future?

The assistant made the decision and said, "You can use the music room at night, but you have to report to security first."

Ying Ting nodded, which was worthy of Jiaxing's reputation as a wealthy company in the circle.
