Tang Yu opened the car door, Chi Yan bent down and sat in the passenger seat.
The car moved forward slowly, Chi Yan tilted her head, and saw Bai Chang's figure still standing there from the rearview mirror, she took a quick look, then quickly retracted her gaze, and raised the window.
"The formalities are done?"
"En." Chi Yan nodded, "I'm sorry, my request this time is very capricious, and I caused you trouble."
"It's my job to arrange your itinerary, so why bother?" Tang Yu said, "Did Zhou Ping hurt you at the door of the dormitory this morning?"
"No, Teacher Bai blocked it for me." Speaking of which... I don't know if Bai Chang's arm has been dealt with.
"Well, some fans posted the morning video online, but fortunately, most of them are still on your side." Tang Yu stepped on the gas pedal, "The company also issued a statement in cooperation, you don't have to worry. "
"Sister Tang Yu's work, I'm not worried at all." This is the truth. Tang Yu's crisis public relations handling has always been above Chi Yan's expectations. I saw it during the live broadcast that day. If it is normal, it is estimated that the whole The screen is full of scolding her, and now not only are there fewer people scolding her, but there are also people who will speak for her and encourage her.
"Actually, I have other things I want to tell you." Tang Yu hesitated to speak, "I have always been a bystander in the matter between you and Bai Chang, and I never planned to intervene, but there are some things that I I think I should tell you anyway."
Tang Yu's character is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. She knows that behind the scenes gossip is the most taboo in this circle. Whether it is good or bad, being caught is a clue, so she has always been cautious in her words and deeds.
But Bai Chang and Chi Yan, to her, were no longer considered others.
"There are too many misunderstandings between you and her. Yao Zhi told you about participating in the national event. I'm talking about favors, and it has nothing to do with Wei Xike."
"She will write songs for Wei Xike, and it's because when you debuted, you took away the debut song that the company wanted to distribute to Wei Xike, and you made compensation out of desperation."
"According to Bai Chang's temperament, if she likes someone, she will not tell the world, but wants to hide her to protect her. You also know that in the circle, a little disturbance will cause a lot of gossip, and even more Not to mention that she is still in that position, plus what the seniors of the company said that time, if she really liked Wei Xike, she would not agree to participate in the National People's Congress at this cusp."
The matter of the seniors of the company mentioned here refers to a top-notch male idol who fell in love with an amateur and got married, causing fans to collectively lose fans and initiate a large-scale cyberbullying against the amateur, and even developed to the offline, not only to the amateur. Intimidating couriers with death threats, and even blocking the door with a knife.
Chi Yan listened quietly, saying that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, but now it is the opposite for her. Because of the plot of the original book, she has a preconceived impression of Bai Chang, but she ignores that even in the world in the book, she She is also a human being with flesh and blood and feelings. She will not follow the established plot line and work step by step. Every choice of her follows her own thoughts and wishes.
After figuring this out, Chi Yan realized that he was not even surprised by Bai Chang's changes.
Looking back now, at the beginning, when both the Chi family and his wife opposed her competition, only Bai Chang stood by her side. sent to her side.
——Because Chi Yan, who gave up on herself, chose to face up to the difficulties.
The random dance on the first stage, if it wasn't for her CUE, I wouldn't have so many shots and performance opportunities.
——Because that "beautiful waste" Ikeha made a change.
When Wei Xike suspected that her self-composed music was written by someone else backstage, Bai Chang chose to believe her.
——Because she changed, Bai Chang changed.
It seems that since she came to this world, the butterfly vibrated its wings for the first time, and "Chi Yan" has changed, so all the story lines are different.
"It's the same thing this time. The director originally wanted to calm things down, and the program team came out to apologize and turn this into a trivial matter, but she didn't want to, because she didn't want your efforts to turn into grievances."
"At the beginning, when she and the director team proposed the plan to change the ticket counting rules, I thought she just didn't want the trainees in her studio to be treated unfairly, but now after so many things have happened, I can see that she is serious. I care about you."
"Thank you for telling me this, Sister Tang Yu." Chi Yan clenched the ring tightly with his hand in his pocket, "I misunderstood her without knowing it before."
Of course Chi Yan knew that Bai Chang cared, but she couldn't tell whether what Bai Chang did was for the current "Chi Yan" or the former "Chi Yan".
……
"Bai Chang." The next day, Wei Xike broke into HM's building and pushed Bai Chang's office away, "My agent said that you canceled my authorization? Didn't you agree that you would write a letter for free?" Give me the song, why do you suddenly regret it?"
"Sorry, I can't stop..." The front desk lady who was walking behind hurriedly stood aside with an apologetic expression.
"Miss Wei, please knock on the door before entering next time." Bai Chang raised his hand, signaling the nervous front desk to go down, "It's okay, you go down first, and help me close the door."
Wei Xike sat down on the sofa. Even if she came out to find someone to settle accounts, she still dressed up as if she was going to a banquet. She had a long skirt, high heels, gorgeous jewelry, and a lot of them.
"Are you angry with me?" Wei Xike put on a good-natured face, her smile matched with her lovely and pitiful skin, it was really able to fool people, "I don't know what I did wrong, you Why did you treat me like this all of a sudden, you were not such a person who would go back on your promises before."
Bai Chang raised his eyes and looked at her, "Really? Are we very familiar with each other, so familiar that Miss Wei can already clearly understand my character? I claim to have the ability to discern people's hearts, but it is only recently that I can see clearly. ...Miss Wei's personality."
Wei Xike's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
Bai Chang closed the cap of the pen, seemingly casually mentioning it, "Ms. Wei forgot about the performance so quickly?"
"Performance?"
"You are sure to continue to play dumb."
Wei Xike secretly gritted her teeth, but she quickly put on an innocent and pure expression, and frowned sadly, "Do you think that I deliberately sent the problematic food to the notary, but I gave everyone the same food that day? I didn’t expect that peanut butter was added to the salad. If I had known, I would not have given it to them. In addition, I paid all their medical expenses for compensation. If you doubt me because of this, then I really didn't mean it, please believe me."
Bai Chang quietly looked at Wei Xike's anxious appearance, without saying a word.
"I see, did Chi Yan tell you that she was already hostile to me, and you know that last time I didn't do anything, she just slapped me and called me a mistress in public , destroy your reputation and me." Wei Xike continued to work hard, "Don't you know her personality, she is always on the go, I heard that she divorced you, right, she must be a nymphomaniac and fell in love with some other star, recently she And that Ruan Yuequan is not—”
"Shut up." Bai Chang frowned, "It was your good relative Zhou Ping who told me, what else do you want to argue about now?"
Wei Xike scolded that idiot countless times in her heart on the spot, "Bai Chang, you doubt me just because of her few words? You and I have known each other for so many years, we were born in the same batch of trainees, don't you know that I Is he a human being? When have I ever hurt someone?"
"People change." Bai Chang's eyes were cold, "I will, you will, and Chi Yan will too."
"Are you really doing it for her?" Wei Xike's eyes were full of disbelief, "Impossible, you obviously hate her."
"Miss Wei, you're quite self-righteous." Bai Chang closed his notebook, "Since you delivered it to your door today, I'll make it clear to you."
"This time, consider it as compensation for Chi Yan's snatching of your debut spot, but if there is a next time, Miss Wei will have to worry about retirement for herself."
Hearing Bai Chang's cold tone, Wei Xike realized the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that the matter had unknowingly escaped her control, and Bai Chang's reaction was completely unexpected.
"I forgot to say, although I don't know Miss Wei well, I do know a thing or two about you."
"whats the matter."
"Gu Qian." Bai Chang smiled sarcastically, "She imitated your voice, she really resembles you, Miss Wei really found a good substitute."
The singer who once criticized Chi Yan for finding someone to replace the songwriter, but in the end his concert had to be supported by a trainee who hadn't made his debut, isn't that ironic enough?
Seeing that the trump card was exposed, Wei Xike stopped pretending, and she lowered her face, "Bai Chang, are you not afraid that I will expose your relationship with Chi Yan?"
"In the talent show, the representative of the national producers is actually in a marriage relationship with a popular student. Do you think this is enough to detonate the hot searches? It is estimated that by then, Chi Yan will really never be able to stand up again, and her poor idol dream, is it true? Isn't it also completely broken?"
Bai Chang smiled instead of anger, "Wei Xike, just try it, you can see who won't stand up when the time comes."
Wei Xike's face turned livid immediately when the opposite party refused to accept softness and toughness, "Okay, I count you as ruthless."
……
Not long after Wei Xike left, Tang Yu knocked on her office again.
"Please come in."
When Tang Yu came in, he opened the door and said, "Bo Chang, Camille has a cooperation and wants to talk to you."
Bai Chang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Camille?"
"The advertising creative director of UT Asia, we have worked together before."
"Didn't the last cooperation expire? She's talking about renewing the contract?"
"No." Tang Yu took out a plan, "Camille wants to come to discuss with you. Regarding the matter of Chi Yan's endorsement, I have already made preliminary contact with her. The other party's attitude is very sincere. Let's raise it here. The requirements are also responsive, and they will enter the Chinese market next quarter, so they attach great importance to this cooperation."
Bai Chang took the plan, opened it and looked it over carefully. When she saw the sixth page, she stopped and pointed to one of the promotional plans.
"Who came up with this one?"
"Camille." Tang Yu gave her a look, Bai Chang understood and smiled.
"She's pretty good at reckoning."
……
On Saturday, all "National Girls" gathered for the first elimination recording.
At seven o'clock in the morning, it is rare for dormitory 9012 to get up on time.
Chi Yan and Ling Yu were a little faster, they had already washed and put on their makeup, and Su Wanwan, who was still washing her face in the toilet, stuck out half of her head.
"Any of you can borrow my toothbrush once. My electric toothbrush is out of power."
"Wanwan, are you awake?"
"what?"
The other three turned their heads in unison and looked at her with extremely loving eyes, "The electric toothbrush is out of power, can't you do it manually?"
Su Wanwan: "...that makes sense."
After the four of them washed up, they changed into suits and uniforms and went out. They met Yu Shu who had been waiting there at the door, and the five of them went downstairs together.
The canteen is located on the first floor, and there are quite a lot of people coming down to eat at this time, Su Wanwan shouted while running, "Hurry up, hurry up, there will be no more tofu buns if it's too late, I must eat it today!"
"Understood." The other four replied, but their steps were still slow.
At the corner, the crowd suddenly became crowded, surrounded by several girls, and excited voices chirped, "Ms. Bai, you came so early."
"Well, let's try the breakfast in the cafeteria."
"Hahahaha, hurry up, the tofu buns and poached eggs in soy sauce are the best sellers in the cafeteria, if you go late, they will be gone."
Chi Yan took a quick glance at the man in the middle, intending to lower his head and squeeze past in silence.
But the man suddenly stopped her by calling out, "Chi Yan, good morning."
Chi Yan, who was looking for the way with his head down, looked like a bad student who was caught playing truant. His body paused, and he raised his head, "Mr. Bai, good morning."
The girls around realized that they were blocking the way, so they all consciously stepped aside, planning to let Chi Yan and his party pass through the middle.
"Have you had breakfast?" When Chi Yan approached, Bai Chang asked again.
"Just going to eat." Chi Yan pointed in front of him.
"Okay, eat more."
"Ah."
The stairs are not too spacious and now they are half blocked by people. Bo Chang moved to the left, but Chi Yan happened to go left too. The two of them bumped into each other's shoulders. Chi Yan immediately backed away and moved to the right, but Bo Chang did the same. Turning around, the two bumped into each other again.
Yu Shu and Su Wanwan behind couldn't help covering their eyes.
"What's wrong with them, how come they become so awkward all of a sudden."
"how could I know."
Seeing everyone was so embarrassed, let alone the person involved, Chi Yan couldn't help reaching out and pressing Bai Chang's shoulder, "Stand still."
Bai Chang was a little surprised, but still nodded and stood obediently.
After Chi Yan held him down, he quickly squeezed out from the side, "Goodbye, Teacher Bai."
……
The recording started at nine o'clock in the morning, and those who had eaten were waiting in the recording hall.
The program team first organized to show them the two previous episodes of the program, filmed some reaction materials from the trainees, and then began to officially record and eliminate them.
The trainees stood in a row in the waiting area according to their classes. They were facing the seats from 66 to 99. Among the 33 girls today, [-] will leave.
To be honest, Chi Yan was very uncertain about his ranking.
With the extra votes for the first round of performances, she should not be eliminated, but she secretly hopes that her ranking can be higher and closer to that position.
"Good morning everyone." Bai Chang held the microphone and stood in the center of the stage in the promotion area.
She is wearing a slim mermaid dress today. The dress circles her slender waist in a beautiful arc. The earrings hang down like tassels, and the ends are swept on the beautiful collarbone. The long hair on the shawl is permed Rolled lazily on the shoulders,
The importance of this recording can be seen from Bai Chang's dress.
First, the No. 60 five trainees were announced. Most of the trainees at this stage had less than 30 votes. It was announced until there were more than [-] trainees, and only some people had more than [-] votes.
Chi Yan counted his votes to see when he could report for himself.
She doesn't know the number of votes on the popularity list, but with the number of votes on the krypton gold list and the [-] votes awarded for the performance, she should be able to squeeze into the top [-].
Fortunately, this is also a good starting point, she nodded, and clasped her hands tightly together, waiting for Bai Chang to read her name.
"No. 20 three, 19 eight votes, Su Yun."
"No. 20, 22 votes, Yu Shu."
"No. 15, 28 votes, Jiang Yansheng."
The name of the promotion was read all the way to the debut position, but Chi Yan didn't wait for her own name, so she couldn't help but raised her head and looked in Bai Chang's direction.
The other party seemed to be looking up at the waiting area. The two looked at each other from a distance, and Chi Yan saw affirmation in the other's eyes... Could it be that he really entered the exit position?
No.9...No.6...No.3...
Hearing that his name hadn't appeared yet, Chi Yan really panicked, his palms started sweating crazily, and now there are only the top two and No.60 six places left. Counting the extra tickets for her performance, it shouldn't be lower than forty.
It wouldn't be like before, there was a mistake in counting the votes, Chi Yan's eyes began to become uneasy.
"Next, a candidate will be announced." Bai Chang turned sideways, "Please look at the screen."
Chi Yan had no choice but to expect that he shouldn't, but his eyes still followed the direction of Bai Chang's finger.
The three seconds of the countdown became particularly long at this time.
History seemed to be repeating itself again, and the last remaining opponents in the election were those two again——Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi.
Looking at his own face on the big screen, Chi Yan felt that he was so strange.
"Invite two trainees to come on stage together and wait for the result."
"Let's go." Chu Anzhi said to Chi Yan who was still in a daze.
"Yeah." Chi Yan regained his senses and stabilized his expression.
From the waiting area to the promotion area, there is a long and luminous passage in the middle. Every footprint she stepped on seemed to sink into the sea of stars, and her legs began to weaken. Bai Chang stood at the finish line, like the red line at the end of the game. The closer to her, the stronger the feeling of unreality.
These few steps only took less than ten seconds, and Xie went over the past month or so in her head, unknowingly, she had been here for so long.
When Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi walked to the finish line, one stood on the left side of Bai Chang, and the other stood on the right side.
"No matter who gets the first one in the end, you all need to know that you have done a good job."
The background music at the scene has been replaced by exciting drumbeats at some point, and the chasing light above their heads falls on them.
Chi Yan lowered his head and turned the back of his hands, as if he could feel the temperature of the light.
"First of all, we start with the number of votes on the popularity list."
"A member of the popularity list, her achievements all the way are very impressive, the stunning performance of the first stage, the stable performance of the performance, never let down the fans' expectations of her... She just got 140 million seven in the past two weeks Chu Anzhi with 250 votes."
Then the big screen announced the number of votes for Chi Yan, temporarily ranked fifth in the popularity list, with 110 votes.
Nearly 30 votes, the gap is too big. From the perspective of the trainees, Chi Yan seems to have lost.
But Chi Yan didn't feel disappointed, instead he raised his hand to cover his mouth, his expression of surprise could no longer be concealed.
These are all voting accounts that are bound to ID cards. You cannot use a small account to swipe. You can only vote for the same person once a day, and you cannot repeat it. However, she actually got more than 100 million votes.
She remembered that during the live broadcast that day, the fans in the barrage had been swiping the messages, "Don't be afraid, Chi Yan, we are always behind you", it turned out that this is the feeling of being supported by others. Suddenly feel a little breathless.
Her eyes were really sore, but Chi Yan tried her best to hold back, she didn't want to cry in front of the camera, she just wanted to let fans see her beautiful and perfect side.
The back of his hand hanging by his side was lightly touched, and Bai Chang, who was next to him, used the cover of the table to hand a tissue to Chi Yan's hand.
Chi Yan took it, held it in his hand, and thanked her softly.
"The votes for the krypton gold list will be announced next. Please look at the screen." Following Bai Chang's words, everyone turned their heads to the big screen. No one noticed that Chi Yan turned his head away at this time and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Whose votes do you want to see first?"
"Chu Anzhi!"
"Okay, then I'll take a look at her krypton gold list first."
The numbers on the screen began to scroll, and finally landed on the number 123010.
The trainees were in an uproar. Chu Anzhi’s krypton gold votes alone were higher than half of them. What is this called? Multiplied by ten, it is even more terrifying.
And this sense of disparity was amplified when Chi Yan's krypton gold votes were announced.
Chu Anzhi had 12 votes, but Chi Yan's was more than three times hers!
"39 votes." When Bai Chang reported the number of votes, there was a scream in the recording studio.
"My goodness!"
While everyone was surprised, Chi Yan stared at the number of votes and began to calculate silently.
Multiply 397620 by 0.8, add 1137662, and add [-] from the popularity vote.
123010 multiplied by 0.8, plus 1407255, plus [-] from the popularity vote.
But the sounds around her disturbed her mind, and the calculation results of the second step were too similar, and she couldn't figure out the three numbers at the end.
"The difference between the two is only 95 votes." Bai Chang turned his head and glanced at Chi Yan, "I'll announce the final sum now."
"The first ranking announced by "National Girls" is—"
Chi Yan closed his eyes, shielding the screams around him, and only focused on Bai Chang who was announcing the results.
"Chi Yan won 150 votes!"
Chi Yan took a breath, and the deer in his heart throbbed violently in his chest, as if the blood in his body was boiling.
It's her...really her!
"In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, let me take a look at who are the top three on Chi Yan's trainee krypton gold list."
The first place is UT Asia, 22.
The second place is Ruan Yuequan, 10.
The third Yunfei, 2.
Chi Yan noticed UT's name, and thought it's no wonder the system didn't notify her of such a large sum of money, because UT's arrival is a public account, not a personal krypton gold index.
Chu Anzhi who was next to him came over and hugged Chi Yan, "Congratulations for being number one, you deserve it."
Chi Yan shook his head, "This time it doesn't count, next time, next time I will definitely win you openly."
Chi Yan knew about the UT brand, but had never come into contact with it. Why the other party would suddenly give him a krypton ticket? Chi Yan didn’t know the reason, but what he knew was that without the 22 yuan from UT, she couldn’t win against Chu Anzhi. .
She has a clear understanding of herself, she will not be proud, nor will she be lost.
Who wouldn't say harsh words, Chu Anzhi smiled, "I will prepare tissues and hand them to you when you lose next time."
Chi Yan was teased by her, and the tears that were finally brewing in his eyes retreated immediately.
"The whispers between the two of you should be about the same." A hand stretched out from between them, and Bai Chang held the microphone and handed it to Chi Yan, "Chi Yan, please give a speech of yours."
"Thank you, Teacher Bai." Chi Yan took the microphone with both hands.
Chi Yan picked up the microphone, hesitated to speak, raised her head and slapped her eyes with her hands, held back her soreness, and reorganized her words, "To be honest, I didn't sleep well the night before, I almost opened my eyes until dawn, I have been guessing my ranking, I thought I was only about forty, at most twenty, so I didn't prepare a speech, if I have to say, I am really grateful to the national producers who voted for me."
Chi Yan turned to the camera and bowed deeply at ninety degrees, "Thank you very much for letting me know that I haven't been abandoned, and letting me know that everything I did was not in vain."
In the past eight years, she has been spent in the voice of questioning and persuasion. Someone told her countless times, Chi Yan, you have persisted for so long, and the answer is obvious. Why don't you give up earlier and find something more suitable for you? Bar.
But Chi Yan thought, she likes dancing, singing, and the feeling of being watched on the stage, so besides being a trainee, what else could be more suitable for her? What other people say is suitable is what she really wants. Is it?
Chi Yan couldn't convince herself, so she didn't give up.
But now, she just wants to say to herself at this moment, thank you for not giving up.
If the world in this book is just a dream, she will also be grateful, because the feeling of this dream is very real.
"Does Chi Yan have anything to say to the person in charge of UT? You can tell her through the camera."
Chi Yan picked up the microphone with a serious expression, "Thank you for the recognition of the UT brand, but next time you want to send me money, you can consider clothing sponsorship."
There was so much connotation in these words, the trainees behind Chi Yan burst into laughter instantly, and some even booed.
"That's right, the gold master's father also looks at us, we want to wear beautiful clothes!"
"Mother Chi is mighty, hahaha!"
Bai Chang accepted Chi Yan's words with a smile, "I think what she said makes sense. Next time, consider clothing sponsorship! Children want to wear beautiful clothes."
"Next, we announce the last trainee who will be promoted."
The big screen is divided into four grids, and the rankings are displayed one by one.
The trainees clenched their hands. Just now they looked at the score between Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi, and they were more interested in watching the excitement, but the announcement of the last place was waiting for a miracle of fate.
The footage on the screen finally froze on the face of one person—trainee Cao Jing.
Chi Yan has some impressions of her, because she is very similar to her past self.
Cao Jing has been a trainee for ten years, and she is also the oldest trainee in this competition. When introducing herself on the first stage, she blew herself up at the beginning that she had undergone plastic surgery.
The program team also cooperated with the release of her previous photos, a very ordinary face, although it looks better now, but if you observe carefully, it is easy to see the traces of her plastic surgery.
Cao Jing's grades are B in the first stage, and B in the theme song evaluation. During the performance, she ranked fourth in the ticket list. Her grades are always not high or low, and because of her flat personality, she rarely appears in the feature film .
The moment the ranking was announced, Cao Jing burst into tears, and Chi Yan stood on the stage, watching her out of breath from crying, feeling the same pain in her heart.
"99 to 66 this time, 33 trainees left the stage." Bai Chang put down the lyrics cards, looked at the group of girls with red eyes who were still in the waiting area, and read out their names one by one.
She read each of the 33 names very seriously for a full minute, "Maybe each of you has a different purpose for participating in the competition, maybe to gain more love, or to get recognition, but no matter For whatever reason, don’t give up, remember your original intention and motivation, leaving here is not the end.”
Several girls couldn't help but shed tears, and Chi Yan looked at them hugging and crying, and went back to the past in a trance.
Every time in the evaluation of the debut group, she always squeezed into the top ten, but when the debut list was announced, her name was always not called, so when Bai Chang called her just now, her first reaction was whether she dreaming.
The thing that she had longed for for a long time was suddenly put in the palm of her hand one day, but she almost panicked and couldn't hold it.
"You are all girls with wings, but you fly in different directions. I wish you a bright future."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai!" The 33 people shook hands and bowed collectively to Bai Chang. When they raised their faces again, there were tears on each face.
The companions in the promotion area couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed down one by one, hugging them.
This is the first separation since the 99 girls entered the camp. They know that there will be a second or third time in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer people left on the field. It was hard to get used to it because it was the first time.
Just today, let them cry willfully once.
The car moved forward slowly, Chi Yan tilted her head, and saw Bai Chang's figure still standing there from the rearview mirror, she took a quick look, then quickly retracted her gaze, and raised the window.
"The formalities are done?"
"En." Chi Yan nodded, "I'm sorry, my request this time is very capricious, and I caused you trouble."
"It's my job to arrange your itinerary, so why bother?" Tang Yu said, "Did Zhou Ping hurt you at the door of the dormitory this morning?"
"No, Teacher Bai blocked it for me." Speaking of which... I don't know if Bai Chang's arm has been dealt with.
"Well, some fans posted the morning video online, but fortunately, most of them are still on your side." Tang Yu stepped on the gas pedal, "The company also issued a statement in cooperation, you don't have to worry. "
"Sister Tang Yu's work, I'm not worried at all." This is the truth. Tang Yu's crisis public relations handling has always been above Chi Yan's expectations. I saw it during the live broadcast that day. If it is normal, it is estimated that the whole The screen is full of scolding her, and now not only are there fewer people scolding her, but there are also people who will speak for her and encourage her.
"Actually, I have other things I want to tell you." Tang Yu hesitated to speak, "I have always been a bystander in the matter between you and Bai Chang, and I never planned to intervene, but there are some things that I I think I should tell you anyway."
Tang Yu's character is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. She knows that behind the scenes gossip is the most taboo in this circle. Whether it is good or bad, being caught is a clue, so she has always been cautious in her words and deeds.
But Bai Chang and Chi Yan, to her, were no longer considered others.
"There are too many misunderstandings between you and her. Yao Zhi told you about participating in the national event. I'm talking about favors, and it has nothing to do with Wei Xike."
"She will write songs for Wei Xike, and it's because when you debuted, you took away the debut song that the company wanted to distribute to Wei Xike, and you made compensation out of desperation."
"According to Bai Chang's temperament, if she likes someone, she will not tell the world, but wants to hide her to protect her. You also know that in the circle, a little disturbance will cause a lot of gossip, and even more Not to mention that she is still in that position, plus what the seniors of the company said that time, if she really liked Wei Xike, she would not agree to participate in the National People's Congress at this cusp."
The matter of the seniors of the company mentioned here refers to a top-notch male idol who fell in love with an amateur and got married, causing fans to collectively lose fans and initiate a large-scale cyberbullying against the amateur, and even developed to the offline, not only to the amateur. Intimidating couriers with death threats, and even blocking the door with a knife.
Chi Yan listened quietly, saying that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, but now it is the opposite for her. Because of the plot of the original book, she has a preconceived impression of Bai Chang, but she ignores that even in the world in the book, she She is also a human being with flesh and blood and feelings. She will not follow the established plot line and work step by step. Every choice of her follows her own thoughts and wishes.
After figuring this out, Chi Yan realized that he was not even surprised by Bai Chang's changes.
Looking back now, at the beginning, when both the Chi family and his wife opposed her competition, only Bai Chang stood by her side. sent to her side.
——Because Chi Yan, who gave up on herself, chose to face up to the difficulties.
The random dance on the first stage, if it wasn't for her CUE, I wouldn't have so many shots and performance opportunities.
——Because that "beautiful waste" Ikeha made a change.
When Wei Xike suspected that her self-composed music was written by someone else backstage, Bai Chang chose to believe her.
——Because she changed, Bai Chang changed.
It seems that since she came to this world, the butterfly vibrated its wings for the first time, and "Chi Yan" has changed, so all the story lines are different.
"It's the same thing this time. The director originally wanted to calm things down, and the program team came out to apologize and turn this into a trivial matter, but she didn't want to, because she didn't want your efforts to turn into grievances."
"At the beginning, when she and the director team proposed the plan to change the ticket counting rules, I thought she just didn't want the trainees in her studio to be treated unfairly, but now after so many things have happened, I can see that she is serious. I care about you."
"Thank you for telling me this, Sister Tang Yu." Chi Yan clenched the ring tightly with his hand in his pocket, "I misunderstood her without knowing it before."
Of course Chi Yan knew that Bai Chang cared, but she couldn't tell whether what Bai Chang did was for the current "Chi Yan" or the former "Chi Yan".
……
"Bai Chang." The next day, Wei Xike broke into HM's building and pushed Bai Chang's office away, "My agent said that you canceled my authorization? Didn't you agree that you would write a letter for free?" Give me the song, why do you suddenly regret it?"
"Sorry, I can't stop..." The front desk lady who was walking behind hurriedly stood aside with an apologetic expression.
"Miss Wei, please knock on the door before entering next time." Bai Chang raised his hand, signaling the nervous front desk to go down, "It's okay, you go down first, and help me close the door."
Wei Xike sat down on the sofa. Even if she came out to find someone to settle accounts, she still dressed up as if she was going to a banquet. She had a long skirt, high heels, gorgeous jewelry, and a lot of them.
"Are you angry with me?" Wei Xike put on a good-natured face, her smile matched with her lovely and pitiful skin, it was really able to fool people, "I don't know what I did wrong, you Why did you treat me like this all of a sudden, you were not such a person who would go back on your promises before."
Bai Chang raised his eyes and looked at her, "Really? Are we very familiar with each other, so familiar that Miss Wei can already clearly understand my character? I claim to have the ability to discern people's hearts, but it is only recently that I can see clearly. ...Miss Wei's personality."
Wei Xike's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
Bai Chang closed the cap of the pen, seemingly casually mentioning it, "Ms. Wei forgot about the performance so quickly?"
"Performance?"
"You are sure to continue to play dumb."
Wei Xike secretly gritted her teeth, but she quickly put on an innocent and pure expression, and frowned sadly, "Do you think that I deliberately sent the problematic food to the notary, but I gave everyone the same food that day? I didn’t expect that peanut butter was added to the salad. If I had known, I would not have given it to them. In addition, I paid all their medical expenses for compensation. If you doubt me because of this, then I really didn't mean it, please believe me."
Bai Chang quietly looked at Wei Xike's anxious appearance, without saying a word.
"I see, did Chi Yan tell you that she was already hostile to me, and you know that last time I didn't do anything, she just slapped me and called me a mistress in public , destroy your reputation and me." Wei Xike continued to work hard, "Don't you know her personality, she is always on the go, I heard that she divorced you, right, she must be a nymphomaniac and fell in love with some other star, recently she And that Ruan Yuequan is not—”
"Shut up." Bai Chang frowned, "It was your good relative Zhou Ping who told me, what else do you want to argue about now?"
Wei Xike scolded that idiot countless times in her heart on the spot, "Bai Chang, you doubt me just because of her few words? You and I have known each other for so many years, we were born in the same batch of trainees, don't you know that I Is he a human being? When have I ever hurt someone?"
"People change." Bai Chang's eyes were cold, "I will, you will, and Chi Yan will too."
"Are you really doing it for her?" Wei Xike's eyes were full of disbelief, "Impossible, you obviously hate her."
"Miss Wei, you're quite self-righteous." Bai Chang closed his notebook, "Since you delivered it to your door today, I'll make it clear to you."
"This time, consider it as compensation for Chi Yan's snatching of your debut spot, but if there is a next time, Miss Wei will have to worry about retirement for herself."
Hearing Bai Chang's cold tone, Wei Xike realized the seriousness of the matter. It seemed that the matter had unknowingly escaped her control, and Bai Chang's reaction was completely unexpected.
"I forgot to say, although I don't know Miss Wei well, I do know a thing or two about you."
"whats the matter."
"Gu Qian." Bai Chang smiled sarcastically, "She imitated your voice, she really resembles you, Miss Wei really found a good substitute."
The singer who once criticized Chi Yan for finding someone to replace the songwriter, but in the end his concert had to be supported by a trainee who hadn't made his debut, isn't that ironic enough?
Seeing that the trump card was exposed, Wei Xike stopped pretending, and she lowered her face, "Bai Chang, are you not afraid that I will expose your relationship with Chi Yan?"
"In the talent show, the representative of the national producers is actually in a marriage relationship with a popular student. Do you think this is enough to detonate the hot searches? It is estimated that by then, Chi Yan will really never be able to stand up again, and her poor idol dream, is it true? Isn't it also completely broken?"
Bai Chang smiled instead of anger, "Wei Xike, just try it, you can see who won't stand up when the time comes."
Wei Xike's face turned livid immediately when the opposite party refused to accept softness and toughness, "Okay, I count you as ruthless."
……
Not long after Wei Xike left, Tang Yu knocked on her office again.
"Please come in."
When Tang Yu came in, he opened the door and said, "Bo Chang, Camille has a cooperation and wants to talk to you."
Bai Chang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Camille?"
"The advertising creative director of UT Asia, we have worked together before."
"Didn't the last cooperation expire? She's talking about renewing the contract?"
"No." Tang Yu took out a plan, "Camille wants to come to discuss with you. Regarding the matter of Chi Yan's endorsement, I have already made preliminary contact with her. The other party's attitude is very sincere. Let's raise it here. The requirements are also responsive, and they will enter the Chinese market next quarter, so they attach great importance to this cooperation."
Bai Chang took the plan, opened it and looked it over carefully. When she saw the sixth page, she stopped and pointed to one of the promotional plans.
"Who came up with this one?"
"Camille." Tang Yu gave her a look, Bai Chang understood and smiled.
"She's pretty good at reckoning."
……
On Saturday, all "National Girls" gathered for the first elimination recording.
At seven o'clock in the morning, it is rare for dormitory 9012 to get up on time.
Chi Yan and Ling Yu were a little faster, they had already washed and put on their makeup, and Su Wanwan, who was still washing her face in the toilet, stuck out half of her head.
"Any of you can borrow my toothbrush once. My electric toothbrush is out of power."
"Wanwan, are you awake?"
"what?"
The other three turned their heads in unison and looked at her with extremely loving eyes, "The electric toothbrush is out of power, can't you do it manually?"
Su Wanwan: "...that makes sense."
After the four of them washed up, they changed into suits and uniforms and went out. They met Yu Shu who had been waiting there at the door, and the five of them went downstairs together.
The canteen is located on the first floor, and there are quite a lot of people coming down to eat at this time, Su Wanwan shouted while running, "Hurry up, hurry up, there will be no more tofu buns if it's too late, I must eat it today!"
"Understood." The other four replied, but their steps were still slow.
At the corner, the crowd suddenly became crowded, surrounded by several girls, and excited voices chirped, "Ms. Bai, you came so early."
"Well, let's try the breakfast in the cafeteria."
"Hahahaha, hurry up, the tofu buns and poached eggs in soy sauce are the best sellers in the cafeteria, if you go late, they will be gone."
Chi Yan took a quick glance at the man in the middle, intending to lower his head and squeeze past in silence.
But the man suddenly stopped her by calling out, "Chi Yan, good morning."
Chi Yan, who was looking for the way with his head down, looked like a bad student who was caught playing truant. His body paused, and he raised his head, "Mr. Bai, good morning."
The girls around realized that they were blocking the way, so they all consciously stepped aside, planning to let Chi Yan and his party pass through the middle.
"Have you had breakfast?" When Chi Yan approached, Bai Chang asked again.
"Just going to eat." Chi Yan pointed in front of him.
"Okay, eat more."
"Ah."
The stairs are not too spacious and now they are half blocked by people. Bo Chang moved to the left, but Chi Yan happened to go left too. The two of them bumped into each other's shoulders. Chi Yan immediately backed away and moved to the right, but Bo Chang did the same. Turning around, the two bumped into each other again.
Yu Shu and Su Wanwan behind couldn't help covering their eyes.
"What's wrong with them, how come they become so awkward all of a sudden."
"how could I know."
Seeing everyone was so embarrassed, let alone the person involved, Chi Yan couldn't help reaching out and pressing Bai Chang's shoulder, "Stand still."
Bai Chang was a little surprised, but still nodded and stood obediently.
After Chi Yan held him down, he quickly squeezed out from the side, "Goodbye, Teacher Bai."
……
The recording started at nine o'clock in the morning, and those who had eaten were waiting in the recording hall.
The program team first organized to show them the two previous episodes of the program, filmed some reaction materials from the trainees, and then began to officially record and eliminate them.
The trainees stood in a row in the waiting area according to their classes. They were facing the seats from 66 to 99. Among the 33 girls today, [-] will leave.
To be honest, Chi Yan was very uncertain about his ranking.
With the extra votes for the first round of performances, she should not be eliminated, but she secretly hopes that her ranking can be higher and closer to that position.
"Good morning everyone." Bai Chang held the microphone and stood in the center of the stage in the promotion area.
She is wearing a slim mermaid dress today. The dress circles her slender waist in a beautiful arc. The earrings hang down like tassels, and the ends are swept on the beautiful collarbone. The long hair on the shawl is permed Rolled lazily on the shoulders,
The importance of this recording can be seen from Bai Chang's dress.
First, the No. 60 five trainees were announced. Most of the trainees at this stage had less than 30 votes. It was announced until there were more than [-] trainees, and only some people had more than [-] votes.
Chi Yan counted his votes to see when he could report for himself.
She doesn't know the number of votes on the popularity list, but with the number of votes on the krypton gold list and the [-] votes awarded for the performance, she should be able to squeeze into the top [-].
Fortunately, this is also a good starting point, she nodded, and clasped her hands tightly together, waiting for Bai Chang to read her name.
"No. 20 three, 19 eight votes, Su Yun."
"No. 20, 22 votes, Yu Shu."
"No. 15, 28 votes, Jiang Yansheng."
The name of the promotion was read all the way to the debut position, but Chi Yan didn't wait for her own name, so she couldn't help but raised her head and looked in Bai Chang's direction.
The other party seemed to be looking up at the waiting area. The two looked at each other from a distance, and Chi Yan saw affirmation in the other's eyes... Could it be that he really entered the exit position?
No.9...No.6...No.3...
Hearing that his name hadn't appeared yet, Chi Yan really panicked, his palms started sweating crazily, and now there are only the top two and No.60 six places left. Counting the extra tickets for her performance, it shouldn't be lower than forty.
It wouldn't be like before, there was a mistake in counting the votes, Chi Yan's eyes began to become uneasy.
"Next, a candidate will be announced." Bai Chang turned sideways, "Please look at the screen."
Chi Yan had no choice but to expect that he shouldn't, but his eyes still followed the direction of Bai Chang's finger.
The three seconds of the countdown became particularly long at this time.
History seemed to be repeating itself again, and the last remaining opponents in the election were those two again——Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi.
Looking at his own face on the big screen, Chi Yan felt that he was so strange.
"Invite two trainees to come on stage together and wait for the result."
"Let's go." Chu Anzhi said to Chi Yan who was still in a daze.
"Yeah." Chi Yan regained his senses and stabilized his expression.
From the waiting area to the promotion area, there is a long and luminous passage in the middle. Every footprint she stepped on seemed to sink into the sea of stars, and her legs began to weaken. Bai Chang stood at the finish line, like the red line at the end of the game. The closer to her, the stronger the feeling of unreality.
These few steps only took less than ten seconds, and Xie went over the past month or so in her head, unknowingly, she had been here for so long.
When Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi walked to the finish line, one stood on the left side of Bai Chang, and the other stood on the right side.
"No matter who gets the first one in the end, you all need to know that you have done a good job."
The background music at the scene has been replaced by exciting drumbeats at some point, and the chasing light above their heads falls on them.
Chi Yan lowered his head and turned the back of his hands, as if he could feel the temperature of the light.
"First of all, we start with the number of votes on the popularity list."
"A member of the popularity list, her achievements all the way are very impressive, the stunning performance of the first stage, the stable performance of the performance, never let down the fans' expectations of her... She just got 140 million seven in the past two weeks Chu Anzhi with 250 votes."
Then the big screen announced the number of votes for Chi Yan, temporarily ranked fifth in the popularity list, with 110 votes.
Nearly 30 votes, the gap is too big. From the perspective of the trainees, Chi Yan seems to have lost.
But Chi Yan didn't feel disappointed, instead he raised his hand to cover his mouth, his expression of surprise could no longer be concealed.
These are all voting accounts that are bound to ID cards. You cannot use a small account to swipe. You can only vote for the same person once a day, and you cannot repeat it. However, she actually got more than 100 million votes.
She remembered that during the live broadcast that day, the fans in the barrage had been swiping the messages, "Don't be afraid, Chi Yan, we are always behind you", it turned out that this is the feeling of being supported by others. Suddenly feel a little breathless.
Her eyes were really sore, but Chi Yan tried her best to hold back, she didn't want to cry in front of the camera, she just wanted to let fans see her beautiful and perfect side.
The back of his hand hanging by his side was lightly touched, and Bai Chang, who was next to him, used the cover of the table to hand a tissue to Chi Yan's hand.
Chi Yan took it, held it in his hand, and thanked her softly.
"The votes for the krypton gold list will be announced next. Please look at the screen." Following Bai Chang's words, everyone turned their heads to the big screen. No one noticed that Chi Yan turned his head away at this time and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Whose votes do you want to see first?"
"Chu Anzhi!"
"Okay, then I'll take a look at her krypton gold list first."
The numbers on the screen began to scroll, and finally landed on the number 123010.
The trainees were in an uproar. Chu Anzhi’s krypton gold votes alone were higher than half of them. What is this called? Multiplied by ten, it is even more terrifying.
And this sense of disparity was amplified when Chi Yan's krypton gold votes were announced.
Chu Anzhi had 12 votes, but Chi Yan's was more than three times hers!
"39 votes." When Bai Chang reported the number of votes, there was a scream in the recording studio.
"My goodness!"
While everyone was surprised, Chi Yan stared at the number of votes and began to calculate silently.
Multiply 397620 by 0.8, add 1137662, and add [-] from the popularity vote.
123010 multiplied by 0.8, plus 1407255, plus [-] from the popularity vote.
But the sounds around her disturbed her mind, and the calculation results of the second step were too similar, and she couldn't figure out the three numbers at the end.
"The difference between the two is only 95 votes." Bai Chang turned his head and glanced at Chi Yan, "I'll announce the final sum now."
"The first ranking announced by "National Girls" is—"
Chi Yan closed his eyes, shielding the screams around him, and only focused on Bai Chang who was announcing the results.
"Chi Yan won 150 votes!"
Chi Yan took a breath, and the deer in his heart throbbed violently in his chest, as if the blood in his body was boiling.
It's her...really her!
"In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, let me take a look at who are the top three on Chi Yan's trainee krypton gold list."
The first place is UT Asia, 22.
The second place is Ruan Yuequan, 10.
The third Yunfei, 2.
Chi Yan noticed UT's name, and thought it's no wonder the system didn't notify her of such a large sum of money, because UT's arrival is a public account, not a personal krypton gold index.
Chu Anzhi who was next to him came over and hugged Chi Yan, "Congratulations for being number one, you deserve it."
Chi Yan shook his head, "This time it doesn't count, next time, next time I will definitely win you openly."
Chi Yan knew about the UT brand, but had never come into contact with it. Why the other party would suddenly give him a krypton ticket? Chi Yan didn’t know the reason, but what he knew was that without the 22 yuan from UT, she couldn’t win against Chu Anzhi. .
She has a clear understanding of herself, she will not be proud, nor will she be lost.
Who wouldn't say harsh words, Chu Anzhi smiled, "I will prepare tissues and hand them to you when you lose next time."
Chi Yan was teased by her, and the tears that were finally brewing in his eyes retreated immediately.
"The whispers between the two of you should be about the same." A hand stretched out from between them, and Bai Chang held the microphone and handed it to Chi Yan, "Chi Yan, please give a speech of yours."
"Thank you, Teacher Bai." Chi Yan took the microphone with both hands.
Chi Yan picked up the microphone, hesitated to speak, raised her head and slapped her eyes with her hands, held back her soreness, and reorganized her words, "To be honest, I didn't sleep well the night before, I almost opened my eyes until dawn, I have been guessing my ranking, I thought I was only about forty, at most twenty, so I didn't prepare a speech, if I have to say, I am really grateful to the national producers who voted for me."
Chi Yan turned to the camera and bowed deeply at ninety degrees, "Thank you very much for letting me know that I haven't been abandoned, and letting me know that everything I did was not in vain."
In the past eight years, she has been spent in the voice of questioning and persuasion. Someone told her countless times, Chi Yan, you have persisted for so long, and the answer is obvious. Why don't you give up earlier and find something more suitable for you? Bar.
But Chi Yan thought, she likes dancing, singing, and the feeling of being watched on the stage, so besides being a trainee, what else could be more suitable for her? What other people say is suitable is what she really wants. Is it?
Chi Yan couldn't convince herself, so she didn't give up.
But now, she just wants to say to herself at this moment, thank you for not giving up.
If the world in this book is just a dream, she will also be grateful, because the feeling of this dream is very real.
"Does Chi Yan have anything to say to the person in charge of UT? You can tell her through the camera."
Chi Yan picked up the microphone with a serious expression, "Thank you for the recognition of the UT brand, but next time you want to send me money, you can consider clothing sponsorship."
There was so much connotation in these words, the trainees behind Chi Yan burst into laughter instantly, and some even booed.
"That's right, the gold master's father also looks at us, we want to wear beautiful clothes!"
"Mother Chi is mighty, hahaha!"
Bai Chang accepted Chi Yan's words with a smile, "I think what she said makes sense. Next time, consider clothing sponsorship! Children want to wear beautiful clothes."
"Next, we announce the last trainee who will be promoted."
The big screen is divided into four grids, and the rankings are displayed one by one.
The trainees clenched their hands. Just now they looked at the score between Chi Yan and Chu Anzhi, and they were more interested in watching the excitement, but the announcement of the last place was waiting for a miracle of fate.
The footage on the screen finally froze on the face of one person—trainee Cao Jing.
Chi Yan has some impressions of her, because she is very similar to her past self.
Cao Jing has been a trainee for ten years, and she is also the oldest trainee in this competition. When introducing herself on the first stage, she blew herself up at the beginning that she had undergone plastic surgery.
The program team also cooperated with the release of her previous photos, a very ordinary face, although it looks better now, but if you observe carefully, it is easy to see the traces of her plastic surgery.
Cao Jing's grades are B in the first stage, and B in the theme song evaluation. During the performance, she ranked fourth in the ticket list. Her grades are always not high or low, and because of her flat personality, she rarely appears in the feature film .
The moment the ranking was announced, Cao Jing burst into tears, and Chi Yan stood on the stage, watching her out of breath from crying, feeling the same pain in her heart.
"99 to 66 this time, 33 trainees left the stage." Bai Chang put down the lyrics cards, looked at the group of girls with red eyes who were still in the waiting area, and read out their names one by one.
She read each of the 33 names very seriously for a full minute, "Maybe each of you has a different purpose for participating in the competition, maybe to gain more love, or to get recognition, but no matter For whatever reason, don’t give up, remember your original intention and motivation, leaving here is not the end.”
Several girls couldn't help but shed tears, and Chi Yan looked at them hugging and crying, and went back to the past in a trance.
Every time in the evaluation of the debut group, she always squeezed into the top ten, but when the debut list was announced, her name was always not called, so when Bai Chang called her just now, her first reaction was whether she dreaming.
The thing that she had longed for for a long time was suddenly put in the palm of her hand one day, but she almost panicked and couldn't hold it.
"You are all girls with wings, but you fly in different directions. I wish you a bright future."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai!" The 33 people shook hands and bowed collectively to Bai Chang. When they raised their faces again, there were tears on each face.
The companions in the promotion area couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed down one by one, hugging them.
This is the first separation since the 99 girls entered the camp. They know that there will be a second or third time in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer people left on the field. It was hard to get used to it because it was the first time.
Just today, let them cry willfully once.
