become famous with a kiss

Xiong Pang's words lingered in Ning Ze's mind for a long time, but before he could figure it out, the news came that he was preparing to debut.Before Ning Ze could feel the high efficiency and great influence of Guan Baiyan's actions, he was robbed of all his energy by the intense preparation schedule.

Like most artists of "Hualing International", Ning Ze will make his debut as a member of the boy group.He will form a five-member singing and dancing group called "High Heat" with four other trainees.In order to ensure that all team members can have a distinctive image and attract different fan groups, the company's image planning has made a different image positioning for each member, and put everyone's promotional photos on the reserved "HighHeat" official website and data.

In such official materials, Ning Ze's height was artificially increased by two centimeters, making him 182cm; his age was also written down by one year, making him under 22.The description of his personality is "mysterious and cold like an iceberg", which means that in the initial publicity activities after his debut, all his words and deeds must conform to the company's image positioning, and everything is close to mystery and indifference.

The difference from Ning Ze is that the other members of the group are all between 19 and [-] years old. The four of them were originally going to debut as the same group, so they have been practicing together for a long time, and they have grown up with each other. Very familiar and get along very well.With this in mind, the company gave the captaincy of "HighHeat" to the oldest of the four. ——The captain usually acts as the acting spokesperson when a group first debuts, has a relatively high appearance rate, and is the easiest to leave a deep impact on the fan base.Such a good job naturally attracts people's envy. In order to avoid vicious competition, the captain is usually the oldest member in the group, but this opportunity did not fall on Ning Ze.

Except for Ning Ze, the image positioning of other members also have their own merits.In order of age, the captain is a responsible and responsible man; No.2 is a gentle, sensual, and elegant gentleman; the third is a pretty boy who is beautiful and charming, prettier than a girl; the youngest is a cute, playful, good at A spoiled baby.

But this is just the image shown to the outside world, just like Guan Baiyan's politeness described by the media.

After officially confirming to debut together as "High Heat", Ning Ze's dormitory was arranged to be with the other four, and various trainings in the future will also be carried out together, so as to cultivate the feelings and tacit understanding among the members.

But before their debut, they still have a lot of preparatory work to be done.

Such as plastic surgery. ——The photographer took pictures of the left, right, front, back, left front, right front, left back, and right back of each person's head from eight directions, and then professional stylists analyzed facial blemishes in all directions, and Suggest plastic surgery to the corresponding personnel.Among the last five members, the one with the most facial changes was forced to have his cheekbones smoothed, and Ning Ze, the one with the least changes, was given an injection of hyaluronic acid to improve the shape of his chin.

Such as styling. ——It is impossible for newcomers to get enough styling fees, and the stylists they get are second-rate and third-rate.But fortunately, under the company's system, most of the stylists are dedicated and qualified, and they all come up with designs that are as economical as possible and eye-catching enough.In order to cooperate with them, Ning Ze and others were often dragged to take pictures and try on outfits after exhausting practice, but no one complained at all, because the success or failure of the styling determines the audience's first impression.

Like practicing singing and dancing. ——To be on the safe side, the freshmen groups will not release an album for the time being, but only release a single.The time for debut is imminent, and the teacher in charge of singing and dancing has conducted hellish training for all the staff.Although they have the basic skills as trainees, in order to achieve the most perfect stage effect in a short period of time, the teacher requires all personnel to maintain more than ten hours of practice time every day.

Another example is broker assignment. ——The big manager of "High Heat" was identified as Lu Jia who had just broken contact with Guan Baiyan.Below the big brokers, there are small brokers designated for each member.Ning Ze's young manager is a 25-year-old round-faced girl named Zhuang Linlin. She has been in the industry for three years and has just turned from an assistant to a manager. She has not had any special achievements so far.

This year's New Year falls in February, which is later than usual.

On January 1, just before the new year, the group "HighHeat" released their first single "Heartbeat Temperature" and made their debut with it.

Their performance on a singing show became their debut. Although they didn't get enough applause because they were still newcomers, they already excited the fledgling teenagers.

In the days that followed, Lu Jia, as the big manager who planned the development route of "HighHeat", constantly mobilized resources in his hands to fight for opportunities for this newborn group to show their faces.Under the planning of this gold medal agent, from pure music production to entertainment talk, from on-site clearance to guest interviews, "HighHeat" unexpectedly integrated all kinds of strip-shaped and block-shaped entertainment programs in the existing TV stations within two months. They all got [-]% of the score. With such a result, Ning Ze finally saw the terrifying network resources that Lu Jia had accumulated over the years.

Under this kind of intensive fatigue bombardment, "HighHeat" was on the top ten of the search list within only one month of debut. In addition, the cruel trainee system of "Hualing International" has made every member possess With the potential to be popular, this newly debuted group is already well-known in just two or three months.

But the prestige of the group is not equal to the prestige of the members. The members of each group have different levels of popularity, but this time, the sword of bad luck hangs over Ning Ze's head unexpectedly.

Originally, as the oldest one, he has many opportunities to show his face in many shows, and he should be popular, but this is not the case at all in "High Heat".

First of all, he has outstanding singing skills but mediocre dancing skills, while "Heartbeat Temperature" is a typical brisk dance song, which does not require superb singing skills. Other members who are better at dancing are always ranked in the forefront, and it is not his turn Get ahead.

Besides, in many variety shows that need to talk, in order to maintain a mysterious line, he always doesn't talk much, misses many opportunities to perform, and makes people feel cold and unable to attract fans.

Thirdly, he is the oldest in the group but he is not the captain. It is easy to give people the impression that his personality may be flawed, and his cold image positioning makes people affirm the correctness of this idea.

Fourth, his personal manager, Zhuang Linlin, is a young girl with very little qualifications in the manager circle, so she can't take good announcements for him at all. When the team members are busy going out alone, Ning Ze can only sit on the bench.

The fifth point, which is also the point he can't understand the most, is the "kingly way".

Wang Dao, also known as "Official CP", is an ambiguous duo of men and men arranged by the company in order to attract fans.This kind of composition should not only consider the appearance and personality matching of the two parties, but also consider the true relationship between the two groups themselves.

As one of the most common methods used by boy groups to accumulate popularity, Ning Ze had of course heard of this kind of publicity method before his debut, but at the beginning he did not realize the great power of the "kingly way".

In the "High Heat" group of five, he belonged to the person who joined later, so in the two-two kingly way, he naturally became the one who was alone.He didn't care about not having an official CP at first. Seeing the royal groups in the team often touching and hugging in front of the camera, he felt so numb as to get goosebumps, but half a year after his official debut, he finally realized that Started to feel something was wrong.

Open the search engine, type "HighHeat", the official website ranks the highest in the search ranking, and the second place is the "HighHeat" fan site. Ning Ze was curious and tried to click on it. It is full of all kinds of incredible novels , there are many descriptions that make people blush and heartbeat.Although the content is unreliable, the number of articles and the number of members on the website are constantly increasing, accumulating the popularity of the corresponding members in disguise, but Ning Ze's name is missing.Even if he appears occasionally, he always plays a disgraceful third party role in the story.

Correspondingly, among the official websites, Ningze's fansclub is also the one with the least number of people.Among them, there are very few people who post and follow the posts, and the posts on the homepage are often refreshed only once every three or four days.However, in the fansclub of the most popular captain, the top post refresh frequency is 5 minutes.

If these indirect data only made Ning Ze feel anxious, then everything he encountered at the first signing event of "High Heat" made him even more horrified.

That day, the queue waiting in front of him for autographs was only one-third the length of the captain.In order to save time, the organizer had to drive some of the fans who lined up with the captain to Ningze's side.Many of them arrived after several hours of driving by car or even more than ten hours by train, but they could not get the autograph of their favorite idols after all the hard work. Many girls had been signed by Ning Ze. The album was so sad that I couldn't make a sound on the spot.

These tears also gave Ning Ze the most direct and strongest impact.

In order to save his popularity, he began to try to appear in entertainment shows regardless of his image positioning, but because of his clumsy words, he frequently left the audience cold; What's more obscene."

Although he has made his debut, his fate is sliding towards a darker abyss. Just when Ning Ze didn't know how to step on the brakes, the annual "Midsummer Dream Concert" of "Hualing International" began.

***

The "Midsummer Dream Concert" held in August every year is a regular celebration of "Hualing International", and it is also a thank-you meeting for the company to reward the fans who have the courage to contribute money.

In this concert, all "Hualing International" artists who have already debuted will perform on stage, whether it is a newcomer who has just debuted or a superstar like Guan Baiyan.

The venue for the concert is located in a stadium that can accommodate 4 people. All the seats are selected randomly, and no tickets are sold to the public. As long as fans who have purchased genuine products of "Hualing International" stars have It is possible to get this opportunity, which is also one of the important factors why "Hualing International" has been praised by fans as "good welfare".

In order to prepare for this grand ceremony, the stars of the company spontaneously left time for rehearsal in the schedule, and all members of "High Heat" also came to the performance venue half a month before the official concert.

In order to protect the brand of "A Midsummer Dream" and encourage fans to continue spending money in the coming year, "Hualing International" has always spared no expense when preparing for this annual concert.In order to take care of the surrounding fans, a large three-meter-high platform was temporarily erected in the spacious stadium, and four narrow two-meter-wide aisles extended from the platform to go deep into the auditorium, making it easier for stars to interact with the audience.Although the construction project has not been fully completed, various large-scale lighting and audio facilities have been moved in advance, and the stage scenery is also under intensive planning, with as many as 600 workers participating in the early stage of construction.

The members walked all the way from the entrance of the stadium, imagining the neatly arranged seats filled with fans waving fluorescent sticks, and imagining the scene where the original dim venue was illuminated by spotlights and colored lights like daytime, Even Ning Ze, who has been very depressed recently, has gradually become a little excited.

"HighHeat" has debuted for more than half a year. Although it has participated in many hit shows, it still does not have the strength to hold large-scale concerts, so everything is a bit novel to watch.The other members of the troupe were so excited that they laughed and made a fuss, chasing each other and walking ahead, and gradually distanced themselves from Ning Ze.

Ning Ze was unknowingly at the end, his gaze swept among the busy workers, and finally landed directly above the stage.

There is a special steel pipe beam on it, and two black wide ribbons hang down from the center, and someone is dancing a weightless spinning ribbon dance in mid-air.

As the name suggests, this kind of dance does not use any steel ropes or other safety protection facilities, but only relies on two colored ribbons to wrap arms, legs and other parts in the air to complete various difficult rotations, somersaults, handstands and other movements. It shows the beauty of the human body to the greatest extent, but it requires extremely high arm strength, waist strength, and body flexibility of the dancer. It is more appropriate to call it acrobatics rather than dance.

But the person in front of him danced with ease, his posture stretched gracefully.When spinning, the flying tassels around his waist are like a gust of wind; when he is tumbling, his strong and graceful posture is like a raging fire; and when he releases his arms, he hovers quietly in the air with only the strength of his ankles, when the breeze blows through his white shirt , It seems to be as peaceful and beautiful as a dream.

There are many good dancers in "Hualing International", and some people are involved in hard dances such as Hip-hop and Breaking, but they can dance this kind of weightless ribbon dance, dare to dance on the spot and dare to hang the two ribbons so high. There is only one person who is stronger than women and more beautiful than men.

In fact, it is not the first time that Ning Ze has seen him dance. After he fully demonstrated his singing skills in his first solo album "Lord Is Back", he soon released his second solo album "AngelAndDevil", which mainly focuses on dance music. In one MV, he showed this extremely dangerous dance for the first time, which caused a wide range of topics at the time.

But this is Ning Ze's first time to watch it live, he did not expect such a close-up viewing to obtain such amazing visual effects. ——It turns out that the dance skills that I have never paid much attention to can have such a deep and shocking power.

In a brisk backflip, the high-altitude dancer leaps down and lands firmly in the center of the stage.At this time, the other members of "High Heat" also recognized who he was, and hurriedly rushed forward, scrambling to greet him with courteous bows.

Some said, "Senior Guan Baiyan, you dance really well", and some said, "Senior, teach us whenever you have time", and the atmosphere was enthusiastic for a while.

Others were busy coming forward, but Ning Ze hurriedly backed away, but Zhuang Linlin who was walking behind slapped him hard, and taught him a righteous lesson, "Why didn't you say hello to senior?" This dispelled his idea of ​​sneaking away .

Surrounded by the staff and many juniors, Guan Baiyan's reaction was still very cold. He didn't pay attention to the people who were busy making friends. Ning Ze said directly, "Ning Ze, come here."

The too natural and familiar tone caused everyone to turn their heads to look over.

In the eyes that contained various meanings, Ning Ze didn't even have the chance to refuse, so he reluctantly followed.

Guan Baiyan took him to a secluded place in the lounge, where only Xiong Pang was waiting.

Pang Xiong was sweating profusely when he saw Guan Baiyan was about to be happy, but at the same time saw the uninvited guest following him, and Mung Dou's small eyes widened several times before he could react.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this is Ning Ze. You brought him here to..." Tilting his head, Xiong Pang looked Ning Ze up and down a few times, making him uncomfortable.

"You are busy with your work, I have something to tell him." Guan Baiyan dismissed him with one sentence.

Pang Xiong snorted, and sure enough, he stopped talking and didn't look at Ning Ze, he just supported Guan Baiyan on the chair and half lay down on his own.

Guan Baiyan's movements at this time were much slower than when he was outside just now. He adjusted his sitting posture carefully until his back was completely fitted with the chair, and then he relaxed and let out a breath slowly.Pang Xiong squatted beside him, helping him take off his clothes.

Since it was just a rehearsal just now, he didn't put on brightly colored stage clothes, but only wore a simple white shirt and thin trousers, and tied a wide long fringed belt diagonally around his waist.Pang Xiong helped him take off his belt first, and then rolled up his loose shirt, revealing Guan Baiyan's smooth waistline.

Since he had been watching their movements, Ning Ze knew that he should politely turn his eyes away at this time, but he found that his eyes could not move at all as if they were glued.

Guan Baiyan has always cherished flesh like gold, never showing the skin below the chest on any occasion.The largest one was wearing a wet white vest on the cover of "AngelAndDevil", and because of the backlight, everything was vaguely like looking at flowers in the mist, watching the moon in the water, and it was even covered by orange. Fan Benzhuo shouted, "This time the benefits are great!"

Surprisingly, Guan Baiyan, who looks very thin, has an excellent figure, with fair skin, tight abdominal muscles, and a thin waist.This startling glance actually made Ning Ze feel a little dry in his throat.

Xiong Fatty was still lifting Guan Baiyan's clothes up, Ning Ze only felt his heart beating faster, he warned himself to be calm—isn't it just cutting a man's waist—but his disobedient heart was like two The eighth-year-old girl, Huaichun, was always bumping into each other.

But following Fatty Xiong's next actions, he soon saw large bruises on Guan Baiyan's ribs.At first glance, it was very frightening. The black and blue bruises wrapped around the beautiful body like a sinister spell. In some places, the bruises were spreading, and different shades of red were scattered on the fair skin. shocking.

Xiong Fatty's reaction was very flat. He opened the bottle of medicated oil next to him, poured some out and rubbed it in his palm, then pressed down hard on the bruises on Guan Baiyan's body, ready to rub the bruises vigorously. scattered.

Ning Ze felt pain even looking at it from the side, but Guan Baiyan just frowned slightly, as if he didn't feel how hard it was.

In the past six months, due to some subtle psychological factors, Ning Ze has been forcing himself to stop paying attention to this king, intentionally or unintentionally.But Guan Baiyan is too popular, as long as you open the entertainment section of the newspaper, you will inevitably see him.So Ning Ze couldn't help but know that his current agent is Xiong Pang, and he also heard that he has recently accepted a big-budget action movie, which has many fighting scenes.And the scars on Guan Baiyan's body now are clearly the marks left by hanging Wia for a long time.

Just now, with this injury on his body, he finished the weightless spinning ribbon dance without any mistakes.
