532 “AV Shooting Guide” 495: Five minus three

When he got to work the next day, Qiao Qiao went straight to the practice room.

It’s called a practice room, but it’s actually more than one room, but because they are all on the same floor, everyone habitually refers to them as the ‘practice room’.

Practice rooms are also divided into levels. The rooms with the largest area and the best sound and light effects are naturally allocated to the most popular artists or groups. The other slightly better rooms will also be occupied by newcomers with more potential. The old and inferior practice rooms are reserved for artists who failed to debut or were eliminated in the draft.

In this way, everyone has to take turns queuing up to use it at different times, working hard for the little chance left to get ahead.

Qiao Qiao inquired before coming and knew that several artists would be practicing at this time, so he came early to prepare to get to know them.

She probably came up with a plan last night. There were a total of five artists assigned to her, all of whom had failed in their debuts many times. Qiao Qiao originally held out the hope that there might be some talented artists who were unlucky, but after carefully reading the general information of them, this flame was extinguished.

The reasons why these five people failed to debut can be summed up in one word: bad.

He can’t sing, he can’t dance, and writing lyrics and music is just a joke.Qiao Qiao also looked at the clips from the previous draft and found that his appearance was indeed acceptable, but his emotional intelligence was hard to describe.

The instructor answered some questions that were incomprehensible, and one even simply shut his mouth and didn’t say a word, which made Qiao Qiao want to vomit blood.

They are like that on stage, so you can imagine what they are like off stage.

It’s no wonder that the company failed to seize so many debut opportunities and was eliminated for a reason.

And she still had to find a way to play out this bad hand, so that at least the entire army would not be wiped out in the open draft three months later.

However, Qiao Qiao also comforted himself. Although the quality was not good, she had a lot of numbers. Other teams had one mentor leading two or three newcomers, but here she had five. She couldn’t even pull out a general among the dwarves, right?

When I arrived at the door of the practice room, I was about to knock on the door when I heard a faint electronic sound coming from inside.

Qiao Qiao was about to burst into tears. Isn’t it so inspiring?With no one to lead or guide, but still insisting on training hard every day, what kind of spirit is this?

I couldn’t wait to push the door open, and I was even prepared with words of praise, but I never expected that what I saw would be a scene of five people sitting around on the floor eating hot pot.

The so-called electronic music is just background music for entertainment.

“Come on, this louver is delicious!”

“It smells so good! Do you still have the sesame sauce? Give me some more.”

“Hiss, this piece of meat is mine!”

None of the five people noticed Qiao Qiao, they were concentrating on the undulating fat beef rolls in the pot. As soon as the water boiled, five pairs of chopsticks started working at the same time, carving up the meat slices in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Qiao: “…”

Fortunately, the boy with silver-gray hair looked up and caught a glimpse of the figure reflected in the mirror, otherwise Qiao Qiao doubted that no one would have noticed her after finishing the hot pot meal.

The young man pointed at the mirror, and the other four people turned back to look at the door.

“Who is it?” asked a naughty young man. Qiao Qiao knew that he was Haidie who pretended to be a singer-songwriter, but in fact he was terrible at writing songs and composing music.

Qiao Qiao didn’t know how a grown man could come up with such a feminine stage name.

“Want something to eat?” Another man with a row of earrings on his ears took out a new pair of chopsticks.

Qiao Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I thought you were rehearsing hard.”

“Oh! I remembered!” The man with earrings slapped his thigh, “Are you the mentor? The one who wants to take us to the talent show?”

“Yes, my name is Qiao Qiao.”

She thought they would at least be a little excited, but who knew that after she admitted her identity, they went back to fishing for meat slices.

“Tsk, you look younger than me.”

“Even if the company wants to give up on us, there’s no need to send a little girl to deal with it, right?”

“The draft is not as fragrant as hot pot. Come on, keep eating.”

Qiao Qiao was speechless, because what these people said was true.

After thinking for a while, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and sat down among the five people.

Hai Die glanced at her: “You are really familiar with yourself.”

Qiao Qiao: “Anyway, we have to spend three months together. It’s convenient to mature early.”

“Are you really our mentor?”

Qiao Qiao: “Of course, what’s the benefit of me lying to you?”

The silver-haired boy moved his lips: “Can you not participate?”

Qiao Qiao knew that his name was Jing Wen. Although he was the youngest among them, he was the oldest one. He became a contracted artist at the age of 16 and dropped out of high school before finishing high school. He has very good appearance and looks like a snow beauty when he doesn’t smile, but he has yet to make his debut.

As for the reason why he didn’t debut, Qiao Qiao could also guess a little. After all, in the draft footage he watched last night, he was the one who remained silent on stage.

Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly: “Okay.”

“I abstain.” Jing Wen said this slowly, and then focused on the hot pot again. He was so focused that he didn’t even blink if the ceiling fell.

After he finished speaking, the other three people except Hai Die also said: “We also abstained.”

“I’m not young anymore. I can’t always rely on these illusory things to survive.”

“Yeah, my dad got seriously ill this year, and I can’t be as willful as before.”

Qiao Qiao opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in his ears.

Hai Die beamed with joy: “Okay, if you all quit, I will have a chance to debut!”

After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly jumped up and dragged out a guitar from the corner: “Your name is Qiao Qiao, right? Let me listen to the song I wrote last night.”

Qiao Qiao: “Okay.”

“Hurry up and plug your ears!” The man with earrings took out two cotton balls and stuffed them into his ears as if he was facing a powerful enemy. “If it’s too late, it’s too late!”

Several others were in the same state, and even Jing Wen, who had been wandering in his thoughts, silently covered his ears.

Is this… too exaggerated?

Qiao Qiao wanted to say that even if it sounds unpleasant, it won’t block his ears——

“Empty street~I’m the only one~Dinner is two hand cakes~with sausage~~~”

Uh.

Qiao Qiao blinked. It was difficult for her to describe her first feeling about this song. It was okay to say it was unpleasant. She had also heard even worse songs.But the strange thing is that when you listen to this song, you will feel that life is meaningless.

This is the fucking scariest.

This is a song that can extinguish people’s desire for “life”. It is several times more lethal than simply being unpleasant to listen to!

Qiao Qiao had one idea at that time: This guy must not be allowed to open his voice on stage. This is comparable to a weapon of mass destruction!

After the song ended, Haidie asked Qiao Qiao proudly: “How was it? I have dozens more songs of this high standard.”

Damn, there are dozens more!

She finally understood why others were so skilled at plugging their ears!

“It’s…ok.” Qiao Qiao quickly changed the subject, “Eat first, eat first, and you’ll get old if you don’t eat meat.”

Only then did Haidie sit down with satisfaction: “Look, I am capable. As long as you give me all your resources, I will definitely become popular.”

Qiao Qiao was silent, thinking that at least his attitude was positive. As for the rest, we would talk about it later…

After eating, Qiao Qiao wiped his mouth: “Okay, the relationship is over, let’s talk about business.”

Five pairs of eyes all looked at her. Jing Wen raised his hand: “I abstain.”

He stood up and left like an autistic child, not even bothering to be polite or fake. But Qiao Qiao didn’t know why he liked him at first sight. Maybe he looked too ‘pure’, not like someone in the entertainment industry.

Qiao Qiao caught him quickly and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not too late to leave after listening.”

Jing Wen looked down at Qiao Qiao’s hands, then at Qiao Qiao’s face, feeling her persistence through her expression and strength, and then thought that resisting would waste time and energy, so he might as well do as she said.

So someone sat back silently.

Qiao Qiao cleared his throat and told the story of why she became their mentor.In fact, during the meal, she considered whether to sugarcoat the process, but in the end, she decided to tell the truth and just tell the truth.

But to her surprise, several people had no reaction after listening.

“Aren’t you angry?” Qiao Qiao asked tentatively, “You were assigned a tutor with no experience and no resources.”

“It’s normal.” Haidie shrugged, “A mentor with experience and resources is willing to guide us? Don’t be kidding, it would be nice to have a mentor.”

Qiao Qiao struck while the iron was hot: “The open draft in three months—”

“Sorry.” The man with earrings suddenly interrupted, “I’m old, and my contract will expire in one month. I don’t want to work in this industry anymore, so you can play, I won’t do it.”

The other two, who had not spoken much, nodded silently.

Their longest contract only had half a year left, and each of them had been working in this industry for at least three to five years. The waiting in the dark had extinguished their remaining love for music. From their eyes, Qiao Qiao could only see a dead silence.

“You go back and think about it carefully. Don’t rush to give me an answer.” Even though he said this, Qiao Qiao also knew that the possibility of them changing their minds was very small.Moreover, the contract is about to expire. If you want to participate in the draft, you must renew it. One signing is for three years. If the draft fails, these three years will be a repeat of the previous three years.Who can afford it?

The man with earrings nodded and stood up: “I’m leaving.”

His expression was very indifferent, as if the dreams, music, and future mentioned in this room had nothing to do with him.

These three people left one after another, leaving only Hai Die and Jing Wen in the practice room.

Haidie was very happy: “Wenwen, you should also abstain from voting, so that I can be the main candidate.”

Jing Wen nodded: “Okay.”

“No!” Qiao Qiao immediately interrupted the two of them and turned to stare at Jing Wen fiercely: “Don’t tell me that your contract is about to expire.”

“Oh, that’s not the case.” Haidie said with a gloating smile, “He signed a contract for 10 years.”

“Ten years?!” Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened.

“Yes, we all transferred from Xinyu Entertainment. Wasn’t Xinyu acquired by WAWA? He is the one who has been contracted for the longest time among their group of trainees.”

Ten-year contract.

Qiao Qiao looked at Jing Wen who was sitting dumbly in shock. He still looked like a young man who had just grown his eyebrows. His eyelashes were very long and his facial features were delicate. Although he was beautiful, he was not so beautiful that Xinyu Entertainment, an old company with countless customers, signed with him for ten years in one breath, right???

There must be something about him that impressed Xinyu Entertainment back then, otherwise capital would not be willing to raise an idler for ten years and do this loss-making business!

Qiao Qiao took a deep breath: “Jing Wen, let’s participate in the draft.”

Jing Wen didn’t say anything. Qiao Qiao asked again, and then he slowly came back to his senses: “No.”

Qiao Qiao was puzzled: “Why? Anyway, you have nothing to do if you don’t participate. Maybe you can make your debut if you participate?”

Jing Wen: “No.”

“Don’t always have a reason!”

“Too lazy to go.”

Poof!

Qiao Qiao seemed to hear the sound of his alveoli bursting due to being blown away.

What the hell is this reason!

Haidie put her legs on the speaker, leaned against the mirror, and said leisurely: “It’s useless, Wenwen doesn’t want to be famous.”

I don’t believe it.

Qiao Qiao thought coldly, if he didn’t want to be famous, how could he become Xinyu’s trainee?How could he sign his name on a ten-year contract, and how could he drop out of school halfway?

So what is it?What changed him!
